Reopen Omaha Tunnel
Cotter, July 14.—Freight and
passenger service through the
Omaha tunnel at Crickett, which
has been delayed every day for
the past week by a cave-in, was
resumed today. Since the cave
in, mail and passengers have
been transferred from one end
of the tunnel to the other by
teams. It will necessitate extra
service for several days to clear ,
up the freight blockade
This tunnel is five-eighths of,
a mile long and is cut through a
mountain of clay and boulder
formation, which makes it hard
to hold. Several years ago a
cave-in occurred and a brick
arch was put in for more than
half of the length of the tunnel
The tunnel will be bricked all the
way through.

New York, July 15.—Declar
ing that Argentine beef has

was the charge made by Mrs.

“If the packers are buying this ;
Argentine 'beef so as not to
make it available to consumers,

declared. The recent rapid ad
vance in the price of meats
caused Mrs. Heath’s action.
