E. G. HARDY, PIONEER
WRITER, is DEAD
Editorial Writer On The Bee for
Many Years Passes Away
at Chicago,
SICK BUT A SHORT TIME

A dispatch from Henry Hardy an
nounces the death of his father. Ed
win {. Hardy, in Chicago. Sunday
noon, MIR. Hardy made his home
with his son, Walter r. Hardy, at
$500 Milwaukee avenue.
The death Of this veteran newspaper
worker is a source Of keen regret to
former associates in Omaha, among
whom Mr.. Hardy labored for twenty
years. Born November %, 1888, at
Georgetown D. c. Mr.. Hardys life
work began before the civil war, COW
cred that crucial period and the sub
sequent progress and deve lopment OF
the nation. His training as news
paper man was had on the Cleveland
(OD Leader, under the elder Cowles,
and embraced every variety of work
in the shop. from printer to reporter
and editorial writer. Cleveland was
small burg in his day, just getting
its footing and expecting big things
from neighboring oil fields. In his
rounds as a reporter Mr.. Hardy fore
saw its business possibilities and orig
mated the first daily commercial re-
port appearing in Cleveland papers.
His work in that line brought him in
contact with subsequent milionaires
of oildom, one of them no less than
the senior Rockefeller, then a plod-
ding clerk in Cleveland Office.
Comes to Omaha.
The failure OF an afternoon newspa-
per venture prompted Mr. Hardy's re-
moval from Cleveland to Omaha in
1885, where he joined the editorial
staff of The Bee, and for twenty years
held the post of associate editor.
Mr.. Hardy made his home with his
children at Chicago for the last ten
years. Though his home was there,
his heart was in Omaha. In letter
written on New Years day to an
Omaha friend he repeated an oft
expressed longing to visit this city
and confidently hoped to do so next
spring. In the same letter he re-
vealcd the deep faith and hopefulncss
which buoycd his spirit amid physical
inhrmitics i'll these touching SEN
tcnCeS:
well, we have entered upon a new
year How many OF us will see its
end is known only to the Infinite One
who gave us being. But we may at
least hope that the gracious Provi-
dcncc which has piloted us thus far
along lifc's highway will continue
with US another year. Those who
have reached the summit of lifc's
rugged hill and are descending to-
ward the valley where are buried
hopes. aspirations, friendship, afec-
ton, realize that the end is not re-
mote. With faith in the justice and
mercy Of the Supreme Being they can
look forward fcarlcssly and without
misgivings TO the inevitable coming
of the time of departure" Three
days after these words were penncd
the beginning of the end came.
Mr., Hardy is survived by five sons
and four daughters-Henry, Edwin.
Walter Frank and Arthur; Mrs. Ivan
Eberman of Cleveland, Mrs. Florence
Lanbcrg of Winnipeg. Canada, and
two others, Mrs. Hardy died last
August. -Four of the sons and two
daughters were present at the bedside
when the end came

Denver, Colo, Jan. S.-Coloncl
William F. Cody Buffalo BilD' is
dying i'll Denver tonight, facing death
in the same manner that he has faced
it many time OH the plains of the
west in conflicts that made his name
famous.
The greatest plainsman the west
ever knew heard the warning words
of the approach of the end of his
life today from DR.. J. H. East, his
physician and friend. Colonel Cody
had summoned the physician to the
home of-his sister, where he is spend
ing his last hours. When DR.. East
walked into his room, Colonel Cody
said
"Sit down, Doctor. there is some
thing | want to ask you want you
to answer me honestly, What are my
chancesH"
Hears Death Is Near.
There is time, Colonel" said he,
when every honest physician must
commend his patient to a higher
power"
Coloncl Cody's head sank.
How long," he asked, simply.
Il can answer that" said the
physician, only by telling you your
life is like the hour glass. The sand
is slipping; gradually; slowly-but
soon the sand will all be gone. The
end is not far away"
Colonel Cody turned to his sister,
Mrs. May Decker.
May" said he, let the Elks and
Masons take charge of the funeral" F"
Then the man who made history in
the west when it was young, began
methodically to arrange his affairs.
Boys Write to Him.
DR.. East tonight said death would
come within thirty-six hours.
Hundreds of kilograms from men
of prominence from all over the
country came today. Many boys from
different parts of the United States
wrote to,him.
Wont you please send me the
story of your life and all your pic
lures, so | can be a scout like Buffalo
Bill? one youngster wrote. The let
ter was taken to Colonel Cody.
"He is a typical American youth"
said the colonel, as his face lighted
with a smile of happiness.

September $1.541a to $1.54B and De- cember at $1.141a to $1.14%. Wheat finished unsettled with gains of 21ac to Sc. at $2.12 for July and $192 for September Oats lost 17s to 2k net and provisions Sc to 15c.
 Inference that an extreme shortage of corn existed drove traders at first into a buying stampede for nearly an hour and sent values climbing rapidly. It was not until word was passed that exports in general and the chief among industrial consumers as we'll had quit buying that the furry could be over come. Aggressive bear pressure then set in and all the big gains which had been made early were lost, with con- siderable more besides.
 Wheat not only responded to the stimulus of the corn bulge but devel- oped independent strength owing to less favorable crop reports from the northwest. Damage was said to have been done by recent froSts in Canada and there were also advices that rain was greatly needed in some sections of the Dakotas and Minnesota. Heavy selling of oats by leading commission houses weakened that cerea. almost from the outset. Favor fable crop conditions gave much impetus to bearish sentiment.
 Provisions sWayed with the varying action in corn. Demand fo rmeats~was said to have improved somewhat, but to be yet less than norman for this time
 of the year.
