The first brewery of Jos.
Schlitz was a hut, but the
beer that was brewed there
was honest. That was fifty
years ago. Today the mag
nificent Schlitz brewery
forms a monument to that
honesty.
From the vej-y beginning
the main object has been to
attain absolute purity. In
Schlitz beer pure yeast was
first introduced in America.
In the Schlitz brewery are
all the inventions men have
made for protecting beer
from impurities.
Schlitz beer is even cooled
in filtered air; then it is fil
tered, then sterilized. It is
well aged to avoid the cause
of biliousness.
Ask your physician about
Schlitz, the beer that made
Milwaukee famous.

Ah tho tlmo for spring moving drnws
nearer tho difficulty ot finding homes for tho
hundreds of people who have lived through
tho winter In flats or boarding houses is
becoming Increasingly nppnrent. Six and
soven-room modern cottages, renting from
$15 to $20, are especially scarce. They aro
frequently taken by a now tenant beforo
the old one has left.
One rental agent answered a call at tho
telepbonn a day or two ago, and this Is what
he wns heard to say:
"Von wouldn't want to go ns high as $30
would you?"
"Well, $20 houses aro mighty hard to
And. If I hnd a dozen on my list I'd havo
no difficulty In renting them all within n
week, nnd I'd tnko ono myself to begin
with."
"What's that? Ono that will bo empty
soon? Let me seo." And ho offered a cot
tago for $18 which was to bo vacated April
1, near to tho city limits, with woll water
only and no sower connections. Tho ap

In connection with this scarcity of cot- ""d residence. It must bo only a question
tages an Omaha capitalist was asked why of a short tlmo beforo this sldo of tho river
there Is not more building being dope in
tho city.
"Ilents nro too low," was his reply.
"Building material costs moro than It did
two or three yenrs ago; labor has nlso
gono up, nnd considering tho expenses con
nected with tho mnlntennnco of property
rents nro not high enough to tempt cap
ital," "Cannot money Invested in cottages earn
12 per tent gross?" ho was asked,
"Posblbly; but that Is not enough. 1
would rather put my money Into first mort
gages at 0 per cent."
These statements were made by a man
who has spent Inrgo sums in Omaha bricks
and mortar during tho last five years and
who had contemplated further bulldlug
operations for this year. Largely on ac
count of tho high prlco of material, how
ever, ho has decided to postpone all work
of this nature.

ANNUITY BILL IS DEAD ONE
Bchool Tiaohen' Peniion Miura Hu Gone
Glimmtring,
GENERAL SIGH OF RELIEF GOES UP
Mnur f "'o Tenchern AVlio Sluneil
the Petition to the I.rulsln
ture Afterunril IlcRret
Their Action.
Several hundred teachers In Omaha will
heave a sigh of relief wuen they hear that
tho teachers' annuity bill has gono glim
mering. It Buttered the fate of many
other measures which camo under the
scrutiny of legislative committees.
The petition sent to tho legislature for
the passage of this munsur'o was a skillful
document prepared by teachers who were
particularly Interested In having a pension
law enacted. It boro tho signatures of a
majority of tho teachers, but fell far
short of expressing tho sentiment of teach
ers on tho pension question.
When tho bill was first discussed a pott
tlon was prepared for the signaturo of
all Omaha teachers who cared to avail
themselves of tho proposed annuity sys
tem. Eighty signatures wero secured after
weeks of coaxing and explaining. Another
Idea was then udopted. A petition was pro
pared for tho signature of teachers who
thought tho annuity system a good thing.
Tho bill was changed so that no teachers
who are now In tho schools would bo com
pelled to avail themcclvcs of tho annuity,
but It was to bo compulsory- with till leath
ers entering (tho schools nftcr this year.
Mn for SiiUc of lltiruiony.
Teachers signed this petition, it could
work no hardship on them nnd Uioy gavo
but little thought to tho welfare of new
teachers who aro to coma Into .ho schools
In later years. Many principals nnd ex
perienced teachers who havo wldo influence
and but few nddltlonal years of iicttva
service advocated tho bill, and young
teachers slgued the petition for harmony's
sake.
In several of tho schools tho principals
refused to allow tho petitions to bo circu
lated. Ono young teacher, who signed tho
petition nftcr being told that It could not
affect her, remarked after thinking tho
matter over:
"I would not sign nnothor document of
that sort. I did It without thinking what
nn Injustice tho annuity association might
work on trachers who como Into tho schools
after this year and can have no rholco In
tho matter. I know of many teachers who
do not approve of tho bill, but signed tho
petition rather than refuse to comply with
tho request of n principal."
A similar bill recently considered by tho
Chicago teachers was shelved after con
sulting actuaries nnd discovering that tho
pensions which were to bo paid tho retired
teachers could not bo had without placing
i great burden on ,young teachers. Al
though tho bill was nbout ready to go to
Springfield, tho teachers decided to aban
don it. They wero convinced that It was
nn effort to get something for nothing.
1'rovlnlonn of the Hill.
Tho mensuro prepared by tho Omaha
committees provided that all members of
tho association drnwlng a salary of not less
than $70 a month should pay $15 Into tho
association each year. Teachers wero to
bo allowed to retire after twonty-flvo yenrs
of work, two years of which tlmo wero
spent In tho Omaha schools. No teacher
was to be allowed an annuity until sho had
paid $375 Into tho association and no an
nuity was to exceed $100.
All funds woro to bo cared for by the
city treasurer and a board of'dlrectors was
to havo charge of tho mpney and rcgulnto
tho pensions according to the financial con
dition of tho association.
Thero are about 423 teachers In tho
Omaha schools. Eighty teachers, or one

Many ngents speak of the Into Inquiry tor

A wealthy Iowa man who was In Omaha

with whom ho vns doing business thai ho

Are .Not WtlllliK to Sell.
A significant lotter wns rccolvcd by an
Omaha real estate ageut n few days ago.
Tho writer of tho lotter represents largo
monoyed Interests In the east who hold,
scattered nbout tho city, anywhere from
$50,000 to $100,000 worth of Omaha realty,
mostly unimproved. For somo years past it
has been Iho policy ot these owners to sell
their Omaha holdings whenevor opportunity
presented itself. Now they nro ndoptlug u
different attitude, believing that tho prices
obtatuablo In the near futuro will be
higher than now. The writer of the letter
says, among other things;
"I havo about concluded to tako tho
property In Omaha out of tho market.
Thoro havo been so many Inquiries from
different parties and under Euch circum
stances It Is a very difficult matter to
consummate sales, und for the present I
havo concluded not to do anything about
sales."
This letter was received In reply to ono
nbklug for prices on somo very saleable
lots which would bo available tor building
small cottages of a slzo for which thero Is
now a good demand in Omaha. Tho same
parties, however, own several valuablo
down town lots and these, as well as nil
other properties held In their narao, aro
oft the mnrket for the time being.

Spcnklug of tho demand for ncrcago prop

P. Demls said;
"Thero undoubtedly has arisen a uew de
mand for small tracts of land within reach
of tho city for suburban homes. Not long
ago a man employed by one of tho ral
road companies lu Omaha came Into my
office to inquire tor a tract ot fifteen or
nnd are said to he the only teachers who
really favor the annuity plan.

Historic Furniture nt
slilverlek'n.
Admirers of tho unique and beautiful In
furniture havo had tho opportunity ot en
Joying a reat treat during the last few
days. In tho big front windows of tho
Shlvcrlck Furniture company, on Farnam
street, Is displayed an antique bedroom
sot, including n huge mahogany bedstead,
dresser, commodo nnd washstand, nnd
crouds of passersby have thronged In front
of the windows in rapt admiration ot the
beautiful furniture.
The furniture Is not for sale. An offer
of $1,000 cash for tho suite was refused
yesterday by tho owner, who Is Major
James W. Davis, a veteran of tho civil
wnr, who now resides In this city. At one
tlmo this samo bedroom suite graced tlu
apartments of a wealthy southerner, named
Itobb, who was tho Croesus ot Vlcksburg
before tho war. When peace camo Mr.
Hobb was reduced, to the necessity of sell
ing his furniture and Major Davis pur
chased this bedroom suite. Each article
ot furniture is hand made, even tho nall3
used In Its construction being made by
hand. Tho bed is particularly Interesting.
It Is a great, masslvo structuro nnd a bU
ennopy towers nway up nt the top of the
supporting pillars of rich mahogany. Tho
bed Is ns largo ns nn ordinary room.
This vnluublo sulto was left with tho
Shlvorlcks for renovation and Major Davis
consented to Its display In tho wlndowu
for a day or two. Tho offer of $1,000 for
tho sulto was mado by the representative
of nn eastern furniture house, but Mnjor
Davis refused It, saying that no amount of
money would tempt hlra to part with tho
suite.
Another thing which tho Shlvorlcks have
on display in their big store that is moro
than ordinarily attractive is a model-fur-nlshcd
lint. Thrco rooms on the second
floor, Just largo enough for a family ot
two, nro daintily furnished with modern
