] visited the graves of Shelly and
Keats in a Protestant cemetery in
Rome and while in England visited

scene Of Thomas Gray's 4Elegy Of a
Country Churchyard," said the Judge.
He believes poetry is the last word
Of hobbies. He says it stimulates the
imagination and makes man broad
minded, with larger sympathy for
all mankind.
He remembers the inscriptions he
read on the graves of the famous
poets buried in Europe and can re-
cite many poems of these writers. He
enjoys Burns and Moore and Kipling
and many others.

When he wasn't riding bicycles he
was training race horses for his ia
ther, John c. Eldredge, who, in the
firm OF Eldredge & John Jacobs,
owned and raced a string Of excep-
tionally fine horses throughout Ne
braska and other states in the
eighties. He could WELD the bat"

vicious horse on the tracks and nose

Althe truth and untruth that's fit to know

ing to pieces.
The capitol having been taken TO
Lincoln, the energetic citizens OF
Omaha determined to have a court
house, anyway. So the block bound
ed by Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Far
nam and Harvey streets was pur-
chased and a nice county Jail was
built at the southwest corner. Later
the court house was erected.
The court house stood on top OF a
high clay bank, reached by long
fight of steps. That was before the
days of elevators, and 1t was hard
job TO climb up to the first floor, and
still harder to get to the third and
fourth floors. Many lawyers got SO
tuckered out climbing up that they
couldn't shout as loud as they do
nowadays when addressing juries.
The people OF that day, however,
WERE hardy race.
Eventually, leaders in thought saw
that II the clay bank were removed
and the court house built on the level
OF the street all this climbing would
be done away with. So the old court
house was pulled down, the clay bank
removed and the new court house
built and equipped with elevators,
rooms for the pioneers to meet in,
benches in the corridors, ornamental
brass cuspidors and many other con-
veniences undreamed OF by the men
who built the first court house and
thought il such fine building. Thus
does civilization move forward in its
irresistible march.
Jesse Lowe was the FIRST mayor OF
Omaha and the first council meeting
was held March 5, 1857. They
passed an ordinance ito prevent hogs
from running at large" and other i'm
portant legislation.
Hepburn & Chapman offered to do
the city printing at the following
prices; One-fourth sheet bills, first
100, 81; each subsequent 100, So; one
half sheet bills, first 100, IS; each sub
sequent 100 81. Whether this bid
was accepted or not is one of the OBJ
scure points OF history which has not
been definitely solved, and perhaps
never will be.
The city council of those days was
very industrious. II used 10 meet
every day except Sunday during the
first three months. By that time the

skull that of common Indian, but
they did not succeed in convincing
anyone but themselves. Anyway Mr..
Glider won such distinction in the
archaeological field that he was APP
pointed by the University of Nebraska
as official field Archaeological. This
gives official color to his long years
OF hard digging in the hills, and gives
him nice little fee for his work be-
sides.
1t is seldom that man has two
hobbies. Any man can have one, but
when It comes to having more some
one of them is likely to suffer from
neglect However, in this town there
is man, John Mellen, general agent
of the Northwestern, who has a
couple of hobbies and he hobbies on
one as much as the other, though one
hobby goes into the discard when
cold weather comes.
Aside from his railroad work, the
real hobby of John Mellen is to swim
and as swimmer he is counted about
the best among the cottage dwellers
at Carter lake. In summer he usually
spends four hours in the water, two
from 4 to 6 o'clock in the morning
and two from 2 to 9 o'clock in the
evening.
John Mellen swims because he likes
It and because it is his recreation. Al

novelty OF being councilmen wore off
and they decided to meet only Tues
day evenings at 5 o'clock.
They spent money freely and finally
got so hard up that the city had to
issue script money, and things soon
got so tight that the council couldn't
afford to spend $50 to repair the
state capitol building.
Some fellow rented a room in the
basement Of the capitol building and
started to open a saloon there. When
the city council heard this it passed
resolution forbidding it by vote
of 6 to 2. Thus the dignity OF the
state was preserved, even though the
