An attempt was made to burn tne South
Omaha pcathousc,at Thlrtloth ami J streets,
last night.
That tho tiro wan of Incendiary origin is
shown by tho fact that parts of the building
had been saturated with kerosene. Prompt
action by tho f.ro department saved the
building from destruction, and the damage
Is comparatively slight. The fire broke out
In two places tho roof and ground floor
porch.
Tho fcoiuo was unoccupied, the city hiving
purchased It for emergency hosoltal cur
poses only the day before. It was the In
tention to remove Reveral smallpox patients
there today, but now It will be necrniary to
delay such notion until repairs are made.
Tho water thrown by the firemen thor
oughly soaked the plare and that Is another
reason why It Is not ready for Immediate
uio.
Sninll Krninr Hlrnetnre.
The building Is u small frame Mructuro of
three rooms. Workmen bad been engaged
ycntcrdny cleaning and otherwise preparing
for tho reception of patients, nnd such scant
furniture as pesthouses require was In
position. Thore was a fire In tho ntnvc, but
the discovery of kerosene on the outside of
the bouse sets at naught tho theory that the
blazo originated from thut source.
No particular effort has been made to as
certain the Identity of the Incendiaries. The
most plausible motive Is that n penthouse
was not wanted at Thlrtloth und J streets.
It was announced olllclally last night that
there will be no surrender from the original
plans, and an soon as tho place Is In proper
condition smallpox patients will bo taken
there. To prevent the possibility of further
application of tho torch n police watch will
bu established, It Is announced. Tho Arc
was discovered nt 8;30 o'clock and was sub
dued u few minutes later.
At a meeting of tho Hoard of Health
held yesterday It was decided to Issue n
proclamation laying down certain rules
for the government of tho people during tho
existence of smallpox and also Informing
tho public of the exact status of affairs at
this time.
Tho proclamation follows:

blow out tho gas In tho Henderson hotol,
Ninth and Faroam, early yesterday morn
ing, and when found about 6 o'clock Nessen
was dead and Chrlstenson was unconscious.
Tho latter Is now at the Clarkson hospital
and it Is said his chances for rocovory aro
very remote If Chrlstonson dies it will
inako tho sixth caso of asphyxiation In tho
Henderson hotel slnco last May.
The two men, accompanied by an older
brother of tho doceasod, C. Nossen, all of
Harlan, In., arrived at tho hotel about
o'clock Thursday afternoon and wcro as
signed to rooms. Chrlstonson and Peter
Nessen were given room No. 13 and C. Nes
sen took room No. 60. Then the trio left
and camo back about 9 o'clock In the even
ing. They do Out to Arc the Town,
"My brother and brother-in-law told me
they wanted to go out and seo the town,"
said C. Nessen, "and I said all right, but
that they should leave tholr monoy and val
uables with me. So they turned over to mo
their pockotbooks and wutches, keeping only
a dollar or two each, and went out. This
was about 9:30 In the evening. I set up
waiting for thorn sovcral hours, then went
to bod.
"Yestorday morning I got up about C:30
and camo down to breakfast. I didn't see

"I havo telegraphed to ray father nt Harlan,-

Wo will probnbly lako the body to Harlan
for burial."
P. D. Thomas, night clerk of the Hendcr
son house, tolls this story:
"Tho two rac.i returned about 12:30 jester
day morning nnd appeared to bo perfectly
sober. I showed them to their room.
When wo got up ttiero I afiked them It they
understood tho uso of gas, and tlwy
laughed at ma nnd said they did, I then
lighted tho gas for them nnd went down

"Yesterday, nbout daylight, C. Nessen,
who had occupied room No. 60, arose nnd
Inquired for the other two. Ho said ho
wanted me to call them. I wcht up and
knocked on the door several times; there
was no response. Then I got a chair,
stood upon It nnd looked through tho tran
som. I could sec thoro was something
wrong from tho way tho men wcro lying,
and besides I could catch the fumes of gas.
I forced the door open. Tho room was bo
full of gas that I was nearly choked before
I could get n window opeu, and tho gus
Jot wns turned on full force.
"Both men wero undressed, nnd had gono
to bed In their underclothes. Nes3en's
body was qulto cold. Ho had evidently
been dead an hour or two. Tho other
man was breathing with great effort, nnd
with Intervals cf several seconds between
breaths. I called n doctor nnd notified

At midnight Chrlstcntfon- wns reported to

that ho had a chance of recovery.

MUSIC.
After all, thero is but ono exponent of
real, true, living rhythm, nnd tho oxponcnl
aforesaid bears the uamo of Struuss.
Tho magnificent "crescendos," tho dolicato
"diminuendos" nnd tho wonderful "plants
sltuos" of the orchestra undor the maple
baton of Eduard Strauss challenge one's ad
miration. As a matter of course, ona must neces
sarily feol dlssntlsflcd becauso Struuss docs
not play tho greatest music of thn great
onoa of earth. Hut tho reply comes quick,
atom and sudden. "Strauss plays Strauss
nnd plays It wolll"
Evory student of music should have heard
tho program last night, becauso It was n
revolution In tho realm of rhythmic thought.
No ono enn forget the wonderful ncccnt of
thoso superb strings In thu triple tempo of
tho waltz, nor can ono resist tho nil-powerful
swing of tho music an It Is played by
thu instrumentalists of tho famous Viennese
orchestra under the guidance of the erratic,
pocullar but wonderful genius of Eduard
Strauss,
When tho curtain at tho Boyd theater
was rolled up there was an audlenco which
represented the social nnd muslcnl elcmeuts
of Omaha's population. There wus n de
cided sprinkling of tho society leaders In
the pnrquctto and tn the dress circle, nnd
amongst theso there was a noticeable per
centage of those who are usually boxholders,
but who evidently attended last night to
"hear" tho music, rather than to "see" It,
nnd therefore took seats In front of tho
players instead of sitting at ono side.
The musical colony wns well represented,
every local musician of consequence belnu
present. Homo choirs abandoned or post
poned their regular Friday night rehearsals,
feeling that tho choir member would learn
moro of "rhythm," "tono color" and
"tempo" from Eduard Strauss than they
would al a choir rehearsal.
To enter Into tbo merits of tho orchestra
or each member would be us supertluous n
It would bo unnecessary, for thore Is but
ono Strauss orchestra, und but one living
Strauss, und he, It is said, will never corao
hero again.
Omahn has, In all probability, heard tho
last remaining momber of tho Strauss
family, and now It behooves some American
to organize an orchestra on tho Strauss
modol, giving only plain music, music of tho
people, for tho people. Who will be the
American Strauss?
Wo have pur symphony orchestras and
our brass bands, but what havo wo between?
Nothing! Thero Is room in America for a
"Struuss" organization. Who will start It?
The following program was ployed:

world-renowned "Blue Danube," whoso stir

Omaha real estate dealers are looking for
a lively movement In real estate In tho
wholesalo district of tho city this spring
and are getting all of this sort of property
In tho market on their lists. Ono of the
dealers, speaking of this fcaturu of tho
market, said:
"Today every building In Omaha which
can bo used as n wholesale house is occu
pied with tho exception of ono whoso owner
hns refused throo offers In tho last threo
mouths becuuso ho declines to muko certain
desired alterations. With the tilling up of
theso houses several now warehouses have
beon constructed, but so far from rc'lcvlng
tho congested condition thty bavo In ii
measure added to It outside dealers. rc;
lng theso ovSercriccs of growth on the part
of Omaha Institutions, have decided that
Omaha Is n good place to establish a branch
nnd there hnvu been applications for quar
ters which cannot bo lllled. 'o found It
necessary to build a house to accommodate
tho last firm which camo to tho city and
from this tlmo on every nuw Institution
which comes to handle goods In n v.'hole
snlo wny will mean a new structure for the
wholesale district. As a result of this con
dition this land is being demanded by In
vestors. Tho actlvo movement has not be
gun nnd may not start until the opening of
spring, but every real estato dealer has re
ceived inquiries for such property ns this
by persons who are seeking local 'invest
ments. Siiiiill Residence In Hciiiiind.
"The most actlvo real estate in Omahn
toduy is small residences, at prices rang
ing from 11,500 to $5,000. In most instances
theso purchases nro mado by persons who
desiro the property for homes, but tho in
vestors nro beginning to turn their atten
tion to Omaha dwelling houses again. It
has been demonstrated In the last yer that
thero is no better investment in the country
than this form of property. Many houses
In the city havo been bringing n net Income
of 0 nnd S per cent on t'lo investment for
the last ten years, even during the "hard
times," and with tho renewed activity in
business circles, rents havo In mnny cases
advanced.
"Hut tho most nctlvo land which Is
handled by Omaha dealers is Nebraska and
western Iowa farm lands. Not lu n dozen
years has tho Nebraskn farm and ranch land
been In such active demand. You can sell
any good land at almost any price, but It
Is dlftlcult to find persons tvlio desiro to
part with their holdings.
'Today tho cheapest land on earth Is that
which lies in tho Missouri river bottom In
Iown and Nebraska.
Ynlinilile for HiinieN.
"Tlino was when fear of un nuuual over
flow caused this land to bo undesirable lo
persons who wanted something moro than
a placo to raise corn, cattle and hogs, but
slnco tho development of tho country higher
up tho river has caused n cessation of tho
spring overflow this land Is as valuable as
any for homes. Farmers from tho east who
In times past would not look nt tho desolato
homes nnd who feared to settle on tho
bottoms hnvo changed their views. They
havo bought land, planted orchards, seeded
tracta down to grass nnd mado homos
whoro tholr predecessors wero content to
lenvo tho land undeveloped except In tho
dogrco necessary for the cultivation of corn.
"Slnco Nebraska has experienced sovcral
years of good crops anil tho Nebraska
farmer has money Instead of bills payable
at tho bank, tho men who formerly loaned
him tho monoy nro now trying to Invest It
In real cslato. There were heavy sales of
ranch and farm lands last fall, but I
predict thot It will bo as nothing when
compared to the sales which will bo
recorded In nil parts of the state In the
spring."
