It 1s not known how wide an aren the ©0ld weather covered, as the middle west was at that time largoly settled by In- dlans, who falled to keep nccurate weather dates, but New Lngland recorded & frost during every month of the year.

Stewan sent a beautiful bouguet to the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben to adorn the center of their table at the bourd dinner and meeting at the Omaba olub Monday night. The bouquet did not appear. No one was disappointed, because no one knew It wos coming. Now it leaks out that bouquet should have been there. Inve: tigation proved that the bouquet hal been delivered at the Omaha club rooms In good shape, had been placed In the refrigerator by a thoughtful walter, and then totally forgotten by the same thoughtful walter until after the dinner { was over. The bouguet has been brought to light since and is now on exhibit in fresh water at the office, 1117 Douglas street. They are known as Ak-Sar-Ben dulsies, having the Ak-Sar-len colors of red, green and yellow. | |8prayed as She hands down | i Stceet sweebers find it difficult to keep the pavements clear of puddies of muddy water, One of the puddies hardest to dispose of ia where the electrically oper- Ated awitch is located at Bixteenth and Dodge streets, A street raliway mail car, turning from Sixteenth to Dodge street, operated the switch, just as & young woman started 1o cross the street at that point.

FIND THE WEST IS HOSPITABLE Fifty-eight Philadelphians of the morning and 4:30 in the afternoon, resting up and seeing the sights be- fore going on their way to S8an Fran- cisco. This is a party of those who | won trips to the exposition in a prize contest conducted by the Ledger. A. R. Stanley Is in charge of the party. “We bumped into full hotels In Chicago with Christian Endeavor and every other kind of conventions in progress,” sald Stanley, “and In Omaha we bumped into the veterinarians, the Woodman of the | World, and what not, until don't | know whether we are Christian Endeavor workers or veterinarians. But, with all that, we never struck such universal hospitality as we are striking here in the central west."” Though the party sYpped in somewhat unnannounced, E. V.

No, they are not necessarily along to #hoo burglars and thugs away. Bome of them are prize winners. There are also two detectives with the party “And say, If any of us get held up,’ sald Stanley, ““these detectives will never hear the last of It."” The party Is a few days behind the liberty bell. The special has been chasing the bell ardontly since it left the Quaker City. Dr. C. B, Burns, one of the party, s a prominent Shriner, and hopes to get to Frisco In time to tcke part iu the ceremony when the $hriners are to con- duet the bell formally te the exposition grounds. Dr. Burns is not enjoying his trip for nervousness lest the bell beat bim to the coast and he be too late to participate in the ceremony. He threat- ens repeatedly to desert his aspecial and take u fast train to the coast. Earthquake Damage in Imperial Valley Less Than Reported Charles 8. Fee, passenger traffic man- ager of the Southern Pacific, has sent to General Passenger Agent Basinger of the Union Pacific a detalled account of the damage done throughout the Imperial valley by the recent earthquake that vie- ited that section of the southwest. lle does not give figures on the losses, Lut asserts that the damage was not to ex- ceed 25 per cemt of tho lowest estimate first sent out. To secure his data Mr. Fee sent men rlmm the Ban Francisco headquarters of the road. They visited all the towns and many of the ranches in that portion uf the Imperial valley where the effects of the earthquake were felt. Upon their re- turn they made their report, showing that few, if any, .of the inhabitants had become disheartened. In all localities business had been resumed and was being carried on as before the quake. The re- port Indicates that damage was greatly overestimated and that all over the dis- trict only the frallest and poorest buiit structures sustained damage. In the towns well bullt residences and business blocks withstood the shock, not even the | walls being cracked. Fires that followed did more damage thun the quake itself. ‘Beautiful Hair Tinting Absolutely and Positively Harmless “Brownatone' Instantly Changes the Hair to Any Shade of Brown (or Black if Preferred.) i, Nothing so robs a woman of her good attractiveness as gray, And there is no looks and streaked or faded hair. more reason or nse in tolerating un- attractive hair than there s In wearing un becoming wowns, Nearly all of the more noted beautles long a0 rec- ogknized this fact, and s wear iaelr halr not only in the style, but also the color, most becoming. halr stain that stands su- prem; “Brownatone."
