sion of the Sole Survivor OF the
Crew of Missouri River Freight
err of the Long Ago.

A thrilling story of life on the Mis-
souri, river when Omaha was a young
city and a river of much significance
was retold the other day by Capt.
Roger J. letters, first mate OF the
river steamship Stephen A. Bell,
which caught on fire and was burned
on a sand bar just across from Omaha
in the summer of 1859. The name
plate of the boat, a valuable relic or
silver, was found by workmen grad
ing up a boulevard on the low land
lust east of Omaha, in Council Bluns.
Captain letters came from his home
at Marshall, Mo-, to get the relic.

They were houses built at the yards
and put together on the frontier
much like a puzzle.
1--WE got as far as Omaha without
trouble, making a fast trip of it. We
stopped several hours there. Omaha
was a lively, growing city then. Our
captain, a mar named Sullivan, met
a friend of his in charge of another
boat, and we decided to race to Sioux
City, a trip of a little more than a
day for us. We had just started when
there was a muffed explosion in the
engine room and the crew rushed out
with a cry of 'Fire!'
1--WE, beached the boat on the bar
across the river and a little above
Omaha. BY that time the boat was a
mass of flames and we had to escape
the best we could. The boiler explod-
ed and killed two Of the beavers.
The explosion had been caused by too
hot fires, prepared to get up steam
for the race. Before we caught a
down-river boat the captain disap.
peared and we never heard what be-
came Of him. He was to blame for
the loss, as freight boats were never
to be raced, that amusement being

Choose refined, comfortable articles instead of fimsy, snowy ones.
Furniture of sound construction and good design may now be had at the

The hall should stand for welcome; the drawing room for display
the living room, comfort; the dining room, hospitality; the bed rooms,
restfulness-and all rooms for cheerfulness. Knowing what you want
