The appearance of n hand wapon with /lying / Rtreamers advertising ; hulldliiR Inta for FHlp during the past week on the streets of Onmha recalled scenes that were familiar tn thnnc nhoilt town n decade ago. During the 'SOs anil early 'Odn surh noisy demon- fitriUlons over the opining of some new addition were not at all uncommon and thiy were looked upon as naturally ton- cnmltant to the growth and development of a rnptropollB. The establishment of nnoth'r Imminsc packing house at South Omaha and other cifotiraRltiR events of the past few \vrtUs have led up to a revival In the real oilnto business Lots arc again advertised for sain by former methods mid paisirs-b > Imve stopped long enough to say "Well , that looks like old times " It Is an undeniable fact that business conditions in Otnaln have been steadll } Improving for the past few months , hav ing reached the highest mark touched for years during the past week. The greatest Impetus to this forward movement Is dm1 to tlii. anmmnccmcnt of Hill IJ Armour that ho would build a great packing house at South Omaha at a cost of $1,000.000. The purchase of the ground for the now estab lishment and the other dc'tal'D Incidental to the big deal of the week Jiavo alread ) been reported by the pi ess. IIOCTOH'S GOOD KXdUSH. In connection with the salif of the South Om.iha property to the king of American packers a good story on the county com missioners Is going the rounds. For gome time these olllcers have been sitting as a. Iloird of Kimll7ntlon | of county taxes. At thrso mtetlngo Commlsslot cr William Kler- Httnd Ins nctecl as the presiding olllocr. He has dlHplajcd commendable energy In secur ing prompt sessions and a full attendance at every meeting He has been exceedingly anxious that the equall/atlon should ho ef frcted as expedltlously as possible. So when Commissioner Thomas Iloctor failed to put In an appearance foi two or thric days , he v\is vigorously denounced for his absence by the di.ilrman and bj the other commission ers as well They all said there could bo no ex"iise for his failure to attend to such an important matter of public duty , and even considered the passige of a resolution of censure. Thursday evening some of the coiniulnjlnncrn met Mr Hector , and at once proceeded to upbraid him In no mild terms for bis derlllcl conduct. Ho took bis chas tisement vilthout affiont , and when It was at an end. he said1 "Gentlemen , I am very sorrj I v\as absent from the mi clings. I hive been working for several months to consummate a property deal that means more to this city than any made In manv years This afteinoon I had the pleasure of turning over to Aimour R. Co of Chicago a strip of land In South Omaha for the establishment of a $1,000.000 picking house" The county commissioners vvero lejokcd and jubilant , > ot crestfallen and chagrined They congratulated their fellow-member who had swung the big deal as gracefully as they could. They did not pa s an > vote of censure on him for his absence from the meetings. The resumption of work upon the Hurling ton's new passenger ( station lit Tenth and Mason streets has , also produced a better feeling throughout the city. It was notii e- rblu thnt among the large crowd who watohci' thq grading down of the Klngman alley last Sunday morning whllo there were man > who considered it a most irregular proceeding , there was not one who protested against the work , all appeared to think that the end Justified the means DKPOT MODii. IS I'LHASING. Tim aiiival and exhibition of the mo lei ot "the Ilurllngton's new passenger station dur ing the week gave Omnhans an oppoitunltj to HOP what kind ot a structure would fust greet the visitors to the TiansmLsslESippl Imposition. Although a full description of the plans had been published by The lieu more1 than a months previous , the model gave tl-o people a more satisfactory Idea of the general appeaiance of the now structure , and their comments as a uile have boon voi > favorable While the building Is not so largo as many Omahans had hoped for .mil though the location la not the- one gcncrallj dcvjlri'd , the general opinion appears to be very favoiablc towards the early completion ot the only paracngor station that now ap peats a probability In time for the oxpo- sltlrn. The- building of the new home of the Nc braska Clothing company nt Fifteenth and Fnrnarn streets la progressing rapidly.

Borglum of this city , will spend the next RX months In the study of sculpture with the best sculp , tors of Paris. During tno post year the Omaha joung man haa been winning many laurels by his work at the Cincinnati Art academy. The following Is an extract from a review of the year's work of the academy published by the Commercial Tribune ot that city. "It Is generally felt by the art academy management that Mr llorglum's horecs In sculpture In Prof. Hehkuo's department have constituted the strongest display ever made by n student In the school. Mr Dorglum'fi work I marked by absolute Individuality. U haa the freshness of the first strong arttatlc Impulse of an enthusiast. Imbedded In strong talent It also IKJSSCSSCS that germ of which our country's art Is In such greMt need the native spirit and national motive. "One year ago joung HorKlum appeared In the Art acadc-mj , coming from the west , where his life had been , for five jcars , among the hills herding cattle He brought with him an Intlma'c knowledge of the natuie of animals , their hablta and ( surroundings , a dtcidxl advantage over iho general art MU- dent who first , learns the art' ' and then takes till the characteristics. The life on the plains also gave him the strength of bed } , enabling him to work unccaslnglj , not only In the school In modeling , drawing and painting , but alio awav from the school In the dissect ing of the human form and ot the horse. Prof llehl'sa , qulcls to csa the unusual ability of the student gave him the use of Ills nm- plo studio , and there It was , with the en couragements of his master , the e strong groupH and single pieces were madeUor - glum'K first piece attracting attention was otic of pathetic motive ; a horse standing beside the dead body of a second , showing uumis- takabln coiihiluusness u < the lost companion ship "This group is now the property of the museum.

Iliilli-r , One of tinI'lonecr I'lrciurii , ItcciiiinlM s < nii r ot tlie or till * le-iiirtMieiit , People who watch the fire department nowadays as Its gaudily painted apparatus idoehcs down the street In res-ponee to an alarm seldom pause to think of the fire fighting implements of other dajs Now the highly burnished engines , replete with the mechanism of modern usage , dash up to the blazing structure and with their accetworlca In the form of chemicals , extonBlon ladders and water to ern , make fhort work of the dcstrojlng element. The labor of the men Is .sstematl7ed , the fire Is surrounded by a skilled army of drilled men , and unless the flames have been allowed too great hcadwaj their power to d retro ) Is short lived. U was ellflorent In the olden time With the advent of the old hand engine "Tiro King" In 1SCG , Omaha secured Its first apparatus ; for the extinguishing of flre It was a long , low machine equipped with a couple of oaken , handle * or "brakes , " which worked the groaning pumps In a m > etcrlotm , box-shaped Interior The city turned out en inahso when A. J. Simpson brought tlin formidable machine from Davenport , In. where ho purchased It. After a plcnteouo display of. red , white and blue bunting , ac companied by the discharge of fire crackers and the burning of red lights , the "Fire King' was duly liibtalletl In Us new home err Twelfth between Farnarn and Douglas street ! . ' The volunteer department , composed of sonic ot Omaha's most Influential cltbeim ot the present time , regarded that hoiuclj llttlu machine as the apple of their c > e , and after Its Introduction slept all the more soundly on account of the additional lire protection thereby afforded FILLING C1STI3UNS A DHUDRKUY. The method of operating this primitive tna- chlno v\a rather ot an occasional or hap hazard sort Cisterns weie excavated at the Intersectlonb of the main streets creeping Fdrnam , Douglas and Hartley streets , and thcso were filled with water by the 'Tire King" by a man laborious process Starting from the old pond which occupied the pres ent site of the Hurllngton freight yards at the foot of Harnej street , the first cistern of the series was filled with water. The engine was then shifted up the street ana the next cittern was flllccl from the first In turn , until the furthest from the pond hau received Itu complement. Working back to the starting point each receptacle was tlieu filled. There are many citizens of Omaha today who lemernbcr the work rs tome of the most arduous they ever performed. In the tear of the old engine house on Twelfth street stood a bkeleton tower with . ' , bell mounted upon Its apex. A rope dan gled fiom the wheel which swung It and the sjstcin of turning In an alarm was complete Vnyonc who wanted the services of the "Fire King" pulled that rope H WES frcquentlj pulled by people who wanted fo see their friends work John H Ilutler , present Inspector of bulld- inga , who joined the volunteers in 1SCS , an > i who afterward served the city as chief of the fire department in 1SS2 , 1SS3 , 1SS4 and 1SS3 , burnished up his memory the other c'ay and spoke as follows "I Joined the The King' company because 1 lived down In that neighborhood had prop erty there , and thought I could best berve uy interests by helping the bo > s If my little home caught' fire. There were about 100 men In the compiny when I joined , i Wo ucre a jolly crew and there Was lota of Sky larking In the old quarters. ALL WENT TO TUG TIRE. "When the old bell used to cut loose every man In town stopped work and the volun teers pla > cd the heavy paits. Wo used to muster about thirty to thirty-five men be fore the bell stopped ringing , and then every- cne would take hold ot the ropes and tiun die her along When we got to the fire we gcncrallj tried the bucket bilgado first , but If this didn't suffice , then the suction pipe of the old 'Fire King" was dropped Into the nearest cistern and we 'Jumped her' for al ! we were worth. "About ten or twelve men usually workeci on a slcie. A man had to bend his back like the disjointed half of a barndoor hinge. It wzs the liveliest kind of work , and the strongest of us could not stand It over fif teen or twenty minutes at a time. Any man who worked on the old 'Flro King' was usually a fit suujcct for the physician's care the day after. On this account we worked in relajs , but we managed to kcej the machine npoutlng till the flic was oui or the building dcstrojcd. "I served for five jcars with the volun teers and saw many Improvements The old hook and ladder company gave us much valuable amlstance ; In fact , it was uauall } on the field before we were "The running expenses of the company wer provided for with funds raised by sulscriptlcn balls. When the treasury grew low ever ) member would get a bunch of tickets and go out and waylay his neighbor In tht- manncr It was easy to effect a sale. There- was lots of expense Irr connection with the operating of the 'Flro King' that never ap- prarc'i ! on the yearly report. This was causec by the 'socials' vva held sometimes In the house when the 'bojs" turned in for a little jollifi cation. Some of those old jamborees , I will gamble , linger In the memory of many at. Omaha man to this day. NEW ALARM SYSTEM. "It was In 1S71 that the Garnewcll sjstem of fire alarms was placed In operation In the- clty. Long after the old hand engine haa been supplanted by the steamers 'Nebraska * and 'Omaha' we still uted the 'Armstrong system of turning In a flro call. This method had Us diHitdvaiitages tn various ways Fre quently the flro would get under big head way before a person could run to the engine house and pull the ? i6pe , and then again when ho got there the hell had sometimes dlsap pcared from Its tower. No 1 engine house hell was stolen a couple of times , and when some genius discovered that the bell at No 2 haute on Tenth street was cracked , he took It down one night and sold It for old junk. It wan resurrected and put back In place. "It was In 1870 that horses were used on the apparatus for the first time. If my memory selves me correctly Dennis Lane drove. No 1 , George Coulter No , 2 George Illaki' No 3 , and Jim O'llilcn , now employed In the patrol tervlce the Pioneer Hooks Running to a flro when man power was uted web often attended by considerable danger , particularly to a mun who was slow on his feet. The late Charles Goodrich , who was a member of the Hook and Ladder company stationed at No 3 hoiu > e , was badly Injured ono time whllc < the company was making a run down I'a main street hill. There was a great rivalry In getting to a flro among the old iompanli B I think No , 2 company gen crally cairled the broom , as It was more centrnlly loeaj d than the others , but the honors were about equally divided with No 3 company.

Upon being que-stloncd It developd ! that they hail trav eled npon the freight train which carried Pond , Uio stockman who TV as serlouoly wounded by tramre > ' H Saturday morning at Chalco. The rrwi also averted that they were the pcrsor s who were held up and robbed by the same gang at Ashland They stated thirtrthcy , together with another - other man , Jamra UltiRlmm of Ctete , boarded the train at Ashland Intending to heat their way Into this City. When they entered the car they worn accompanied by about half a dozen others who also Intended beating their pa 'age Into Omaha. The Koat brothers , "according to their statements , had no sooner entered the car when a couple ol the strangers pulled revolvers and demanded their money lilngham and the Fost bojs had together J27.BO. This amount of money was taken from them tiy the outlaws and they were then told to get out of the car This they did The suspects now under arrest on Ptuplclon of having been conneetcd with the shooting of Pond at Chalco were brought Into the jail ofllcc for Inspection by the Pcolu They readily Identified three of them as a portion of the gang which held them up The- men picked out were C'larlcs Adams , August Montgomery who was arrested by the South Omaha police , and Itltmicr Goings Adams and Goings , so the Tests assert , are the one-i who did the work and had the- revolvers Montgomery assisted but had no weapon The Posts upon being robbed stayed at Ashland during Saturday and heat their way into th's ' city cm n freight train yesterday morning. They claim to bo farmers from Henderson , Neb. , and came to Omaha to get work on the Transm'sslsslppl ' Exposition grounds , lilngham. the thlid of the pirty who was robbed , is said to have returned to Lincoln. The police regard the men as valuable witnesses - nesses , although they were not present at tlie shooting of Pond , which took place at Chalco , a Motion several miles this side ot Ashland The Fost brothers will be taken to the Pretbytcilan hcHpllal today In an effort to have them Identify Pond as one of the men who was present In the box cir at Ashland. Pond's condition yesterday was much Im proved and the attending physician thinks that unless complications arise ho will re cover from Ilia wound. He was resting easily night South Omaha Mews . Another attempt will bo made today to enforce the sanitary ordinance , at least as far as It relates to the selling of Ice which Is alleged to bo Impure. After Crosby & Rich were tiled before Judge Chrlstmaun for violating this ordianance , Mayor Eiibor an nounced that ho would appeal to the district court for an order restraining that firm from disposing of Its products here. Thle Idea , however , has been given up Satin day- afternoon Ir specter Carroll , acting under In structions from the mayor , served Crosby & Rich with a written notice to stop selling Ice In South Omaha. The notice referred ot course , only to the Ice cut on Jctter's pond. In speaking about the matter yeserday Mayor Ensor said II ( have consulted vvllli attorneys and have been assured that the ordlmnce Is gootl. I have therefore noti fied Inspector Carroll to servo Crosby & Rich with a written notice to discontinue selling Impure Ice. Should they dlsregaul the notice and continue to sell , on Moiday they will he arrested and tried In police court again. This time we have the re-suit ot five chemical teats Instead of one. I In * tend pushing this matter to a show-down and will see that the ordinance Is enforced. " On the other hand Crcuby & Rich are pre paring fur a little legal fight of their own. In'which ' the cltywlll play a prominent part. It Is the Intention of thin firm to sue'thoi bondsmen of Inspector John Carroll for Illegal arrest and for damages to their business by reabon of biich arrest. The papers have not yet been nif.de out , but the firm's attorneys c.\pcct to go to work on them In a day or two. MitNt Not llniil hcilli Slii' ' | > . All of the transportation lines entering the city have been notified by the government authorities that It Is against the law to re ceive for transportation any sheep afflicted with scab. Where scabby sheep have been hauled the woodwork of all cars must be cleaned and afterward disinfected with a so lution of crude caibollc acid. The local In- ipectors have been Instructed to see that this is done. Injlircil 1 > J mi ! < < lllicl < ' < .

J. Mahoney , one of his attorneys. Mr. Mahoney said yesterday that It was not anticipated that any dllllculty would be encountered In securing the required bond.

As soon as the bond Is accepted , an order for the releabo ot Hartley will be at once telegraphed to Sheriff McDonald.
