lon-a Prena Comment.
Orange City Herald : If Hooley , the ex
ploded English nnancler , lived In the United
States , the popocrats of the eleventh con
gressional district of Iowa would probably
boom him for president.
D/s Molnes Register : The Iowa August
weather has been cool , but the farmers ear
that the corn and other growing crops do
not need any hotter weather than we have
had during August. Everything Is growing
and going all right In Iowa.
Burlington Hawkeye : The new state as
sessment law does not work satisfactorily.
Although Iowa Is extremely prosperous , the
grand assessment roll shows a decrease of
$2,000,000. The next general assembly will
have to tackle the assessment problem once
more.
Davenport Democrat : The letter of the
Iowa men at Cblckamauga to Governor Shaw
Indicates that there were some very Interest
ing and noteworthy features of that camp
that he failed to see when he paid it that
vl lt the other day and reported everything
lovely among our men In that camp ,

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
City Clerk Carpenter has advertised for
proposals for city offices and a Jail , the bid-
Ulng to be open until noon on Thursday ,
September 1. Ottnlled
drawing * mutt ac
company all blda , 11 b ln the inttntlon of
the council to accept the raoit desirable.
When the matter'came up In the council It
was thought that the city engineer would
bo Instructed to dr ft plans which would
form a bails for the bids , but thli formality
was laid aside and each bidder will be ex
pected to send In a plan of the building he
proposes to erect.
Just here is where a difference of opinion
may come In. Mayor Ensor wants the city
offices arranged similar to a bank , with the
dlflcrcnt offices partitioned off with wire
netting , and with one long counter at which
all business shall be transacted. The mayor
holds that by this plan a visitor can see at
a glance whether the person he wants to
Bee U In or not ,
Those conversant with city affairs assert
that while this arrangement might work in
a bank , U will not do In publlmofflces. U
ts alleged that separate rooms are needed ,
and further than this a private room Is
needed for the principal officers. For in
stance n resident calls at the clerk's office
for a record , and should the bank plan bo
adopted there will bo no place for the plac
ing of heavy books except on the general
counter. While out the books might be
mutilated or pages destroyed , but In order
to prevent this the clerk would be com
pelled to stand guard over the property he
Is responsible for.
It Is the same with the treasurer. Many
people call daily at the treasurer's office to
look up records , nnd It ts not deemed ad
visable to turn the books over to the gen
eral counter. The same thing applies to the
engineer's office and so on down the line.
Records which must bo kept Intact would be
subject to disfigurement were they left with
out being constantly watched. With a
private room for each ot the officials men
tioned all persons could examine the rec
ords at their convenience , and all anxiety
would be relieved.
The mayor wants the Jail to bo con
structed separate from the office building ,
and If built according to his Idea It will be
a model structure. It was stated by his
honor yesterday that ho would like to see a
jail with solid brick walls , concreted In
side , and with sloping concrete floors , so
that all parts could be flushed without
trouble. He would also have stout steel
cages. The only entrance or exit would bo
directly Into the police court room.
According to the resolution under which
the advertisement was placed , the proposal
Is to be for a lease of from one to five years.
This Is considered by some to be entirely
too short for the amount of money which
will have to be expended and an extension
of from eight to ten years has been sug
gested.
Something will surely come ot this agita
tion , for every member of the city gov
ernment Is disgusted with the condition ol
the present quarters. Several well known
real estate men are now figuring on the
deal and It Is thought at least six proposi
tions will be received. Two or three prop
erty owners on Twenty-fourth street have
been trying to find out Just what Is wanted ,
besides a number of others who own land
within a block or two of Twenty-fourth and
N streets.
The building to be erected must be
lighted by electricity and piped for gas nnd
the owner must agree to keep the same In
repair for the term of the lease. Steam
heat must also be provided along with
modern plumbing.

alleges that in ccmklfrntion of these pay
ments Justice White was to protect as far

a little. Stevens took four games straight
by good , fast playing and led , G-5. It was
now Davis' turn and ho Improved it by
taking three straight and the set , the top.
In these lust games his tennis was superb ,

magnificent.
The second set was very like the first ,
Davis using- the same tactics with great
success , He held himself well In hand and
was as steady as the veteran Stevens him
self , The third set was begun nmld a good I
deal of excitement over whether Davis
could hold his form. Two games all were
called. Then Davis took two , making a
lead of 4-2. Stevens tied the score nt 4-all
and after a long ilcuco took the next as
well , Davis never lot up , however , and [
played with very cool nerve. He took two
games and needed but one for the match. |
In the twelfth game the score stood 40-30
for Davis , when ho made a superb drive
Into Stevens' back-hand corner. It looked
as if all were over , but Stevens Just reached
and made a magnificent shot down the line ,
scoring the extreme corner. Again Davis
needed a point to win out and after a long
and sensational rally he scored on a smash.
Stevens was unable to reach.
In the Whltrnan-BudlonK match liudlong
showed up In great form , but failed to win ,
ns expected. Whitman captured the first

their tactics. Tbo old lock game , formerly
used to ( Misnnro suckers , has given place to
tbo three-card monte game. Herman
Cannes of Columbus , Neb , , was shown tha
game by two men yesterday and It cost
him $1& . The steerer for the games met
Garmes at Fourteenth and I'arn urn streets
and on promise to show htm the packing
houses took him to South Omaha and
steered him to a low saloon , While waiting
for the guide , who was to toke them Into
the packing plant , the steerer Induced
i Garmes to piny a game of three-card monte.
While engaged in the game a bogus olll-

Garmes' money. The ofllcer told the sucker
to go to the Columbia saloon , 1305 Douglas

NEW YOHK , Aug. 20. The Tribune prlnU
the following this morning : The .lied U
line bteainer 1'hlladelphta , which was char
tered by the New York and Cuba Steamship
company to carry a cargo to Santiago do
Cuba , arrived hero yesterday. It was the
first merchant vessel to leave this port for
Santiago with a cargo after the port was
captured. On its return yesterday It btought !
thirty-eight passengers. When It sailed
from hero It carried 125 passengers , mostly
people who desired to prospect In Cuba.
Mr. Doaudoln-Ucnnctt , who was a passen
ger on the Philadelphia , had been In Cuba
from the time the United States sent Its first
expedition for the relief of the Cubans front
Tampa , on May 17 last. Ho was at Esper-
anza , the seat of the Cuban provisional gov- |
eminent , until last month , when he lott tha
Island In an open boat. In speaking at
events at Esperanza ho said : "Tho Cuban ,
government Is delighted with the turn of ,
affairs. Although It has been In regular
communication with Havana , it has not
heard from Garcia since May last. Garcia/1
has not been on the best of terms with the.
government. Gomez has already come out
openly and announced that ho will not per- '
ink his name to go before the people as o > .J
candidate for the presidency of the Cuban
republic. General Garcia , on the contrary ,
has let his friends know that he Is a can
didate for the presidency. There will , therefore -
fore , bo two candidates , President Masse
and General Garcia. General Garcia will
have little chance with the civilians , but
ho stands high with the men In the army.
The Cuban constitution provides that only ;
these persons In the army or those who )
have served In the army can vote , there
fore , a lot ot boys 16 years of ago will be
allowed to vote for Garcia , whereas , men
who have not been In the army , but who
prefer the conservatism of Masse , cannot ;
vote for him. The next Cuban election will
be held Just as Boon as tha seat of govern
ment can get Into town to conduct an elec
tion.
tion."The
"The present Cuban government , accord
ing to the constitution , should bo dissolved
on the evacuation of the island by the Span
ish and a new election must bo held to elect
o nicer s to frame a new constitution. There
Is no disguising the fact that there Is lota
of trouble ahead for the Cuban government
and I honestly think there will bo many
riots before tranquillity Is restored. The
Cuban government promised to pay the sol
diers , but as there ts no fund from which
to pay them , It Is suggested now that tbo
now constitution make no provision for
paying them. In any event , it looks aa )
though the government of the Cuban re
public In to see more stormy times. Pres
ident Masse hopes to move the seat of gov
ernment to Santiago and afterward to
Havana. He is confident that the United
States govcinmcnt will , as soon as prac
ticable , turn the Island over to the Cubans
for self-government. "
