At n vorv slight oxpcnso the city could have this filth shoved Into the gutter with a diag onal scraper. A couple of men with a span of horses ojuld run the filth Into the gutter from A to N Btrcel In half n dnv. The rains would do the rest. An occasional trip of this kind would keep the street In fair condition at a trilling cost nnd would not only mid to the cleanliness of the city , but would fncilltnto matters In the commercial line nnd also Icavo a good im pression on the stranger who comes into our city either by carriage or motor.

Luddcn , who was appointed by Oo'vcrnor Thayer to have charge of the matter , In securing a tram load of Nebr.vika products to bo sent to the fumlno sufferers in Hussia. The committee was requeste.d to wait on the farmers of Douglas county to solicit their contributions , but at a meeting bold at the I'axton htsl evening , it was decided to solicit cash subscriptions , and with the money thus obtained pur chase Nobr.isku Hour nnd porlc. There scorned to bo a feeling tbat this year's Brain crop might-not stand an ocean voyngo without serious damage , but that Hour and pork would go through uninjured und could bo used in any country. It was argued that If corn wns donated it would have to bo kiln- drlod In Now York nnd would almost oat it self up before buinir placed on ship board. It was likewise thought thatuftor buing ground It was liable to absorb so much dampness on the voyage as to render Itiinllt for human food. food.For For these reasons the cltizoas of Douglas county will bo asked to contribute cash. Another mooting will bo beld at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon nt the Board of Traoo rooms to formulate a plan for reaching ovory- ono. Subscription lists will bo sent out to each postofflco In the county to roach th.i farmers , nnd secretaries will bo appointed to looi : after the matter. This method will save time to the farmers , who. If grain contribu tions were accepted , would be put to moro expense than their donation was worth in getting It delivered.

Ideas ,011 tlio Suljcut. ' The Board ofPark Commissioners held a meeting yostordny afternoon to consider routine business and some new propositions for park boijils. Mr. W. E. Clark offered forty-six acres In the vlctnltv of Niuth nnd Snckolt streets for $ .i7,100. This was anew proposition and the land offered came as fnr west ns Ninth street. Thomas Murray offered four acres lying butwoon Ninth nnd Tenth streets , anil con necting the Clark lands with Tenth street for ? I,5UO per aero. The owners of Syndicate oark also sub- mittcdn proposition to soil fifty ncroi , in cluding the springs atfd lakes In the park at $1,000 per acre. Mr. Ilor und Mr. William Paxton , Mr. B. F. Smith and Mr. Herman IConnt/.o were present to oxplnln the proposition to the board. The ccntlomon explained the lay of the land Included iu tbo fifty-ncro tract. It gave an entrance on Twentieth street - nnd included n good deal of high land. The tract ofTorod extends to Twenty-xccond street on the west. The north end of th'o tract Is about two and a half miles south of Farnam street. DlHuiifisliif ; the Proposition. During the session of the board thorn were several animated' ' addresses made for and against the Idea of purchasing Syndicate park. Mr. Joseph Barker argued very pointedly against the proposition. Ho said that the land was too rough for park pur poses nnd that the board should not dioam of such a purchase. Colonel Cornish also grow very earnest In condemning tbo land In Syndicate park as being unlit for a park. Ho said there was no tract of land within a radius of live mlles that was so perfectly worthless , in his esti mation , as th t p'.oco of land. It was too rough for manufacturing or for rosldonces , nnd Indeed ho couldn't see what the land was lit for. Dr. Miller reminded Colonel Cornish that the park commission was not looking for land to locate factories on ; it wanted land for park purposes. Mr. Her took the matter very placidly and answered most of the adverse arguments in u very gentlemanly spirit. Proposed ronat'on. ' Mr. Dumont said ho thought the South Omaha Land company oucht to donate Syn dicate park to the public. Mr. Clark , who offered to soil land cast o Tenth street tor a park , said ho thought the South Omaha Land company should donate the Syndicate park lands. It would enhance the value of their lots adjoining to give this land to the city and have it improved. Mr. Bon Smith cotnplntcly turned the ta bles on Mr. Clark by asking him why ho didn't donate his land and prollt by the rUe In the value of adjacent property. Mr. Clark said ho has proposed to Mr. Thomas Murray some years ago to join In the donation of a good sized paik , but Mr. Murray had re fused. Mr. Clark said the proposition was still open. It was the opinion of nearly everybody present that It would remain open u long timo. lUMK'S A I'.lllK I'L.l A' Cinlilnn 11-18 a Scheme 'flint's S niply U.IZ/.IIIIK. M/iyor Cushlng has a scheme. Ho inys no claim to being a landsoapo gardener , but ho has figured out the park question , satisfactorily to himself at least , and furthermore ho has the papers to show for It. When n reporter of Tun BCE entered the executive olllco yesterday morning bo Jotind the head of the city government bent overn tablo.and admiringly contemplating a pot pourri of blue , gieon , black and brown on a white back ground. "Como 'round horo'n I'll show you some- thing. " ho exclaimed gleefully uud the re porter obeyed. "Now I want to know who can beat that , " ho demanded. "Very pretty , " murmured the visitor. . "What Is it ! " "ThuE is a park , and wo must have it or somoihingJiku It , before , vo can beat Min neapolis. It's an idea of mine , and Iliad a draughtsman make this sketch for mo. There you see a lake nearly n mlle long nnd a milo wide , and embracing a little over 000 acres. The water Is from ten to twenty feet deep , and us clear us crystal. Two lines of rail road go right by it , nnd it is less than live miles from this spot. Wburo is ill Right out here by Seymour park. I don't suppose they'll over do anything aboutit , but accordIng - Ing to my idea its the most feasible. In fact the only satisfactory way there Is of getting a nice body of wnior for a lalio , that has yet been duvisod. I am going to touch on the matter In my annual message. " The mayor became qullo enthusiastic over his plan , and wont on to explain the details. The green spots wore little islands , twenty- four in number , all In a group on tbo west side of the lake. They ranged in size from a small back yard to two or three acres , and were designed with nspoc'al ' reference to private picnic parties. Rustic bridges \vil connect them with each other ( perhaps ) , nnd en the largest one , which is about in the middle , on the side next iho Inko it to built n big pavilion or hotel , with a wharf and plow leading out into the water und crooking around to afford n shelter to the steamers launches nnd small fry craft when the surface li , unduly milled. Around the Inko is a beautiful drive ( that is It's beautiful if It's anything ) four miles long , and shaded on oithei side by great trees. This is to bo connected with the citv's system of boulovards. "You see , " said tbo mayor , "wo cut off the Little Pupplo up here at the upper end of the lake nnd turn It off to the west to the Bis ; Pnpplo , nnd then food the lake by artesian wells , giving the verv purest water , "Thobtreot car line would bo extended there and n Jlvo cent faro would cnablo everybody to reach it. The land can bo bought now for about $150 nu acre , nnd the total cost wouldn't bo anything to wlwt such n park would bo worth. There one could Und lea yachting In winter , and n beautiful drive with u breeze from the lake In the summer. Of course , such a breeze wouldn't bo very at tractive at this time of year , but " The sentence wasn't tlnlshod , for the sneaker lost himself In the rapture of hit Im agination as ho again bent over the lublo and resumed bis study of tbo scene before htm. 4 You've Nu Idea.
