Newer for I, one's Addition,
An ordinance was passed which provides
for the construction of a fcystem of sewers

line to Prospect Hill.
Councilman Trostler Introduced an ordt-
nanco which provides for changes In the

A communication from tho North Omaha

city bo trimmed was placed on flic. A reso
lution providing that tho work bo done at
the city's pxpense was lost.
.Mnyor lhon'lii'n Veto,
Mayor Mcorea vetoed ordinances provld
lng for the vacation nnd sale of a portion
of Eleventh street. Immediately south of
Leavenworth street, and of a portion of

bounded by Tenth, Eleventh and Leaven

had not been treated fairly, but his ob
Jcctlons were overruled and the new mem
bers were sworn In and submitted their
bonds. An adjournment was Immediately
taken and so the new councllmen have not
had the opportunity of voting' on any prop
osition.
Mayor Kelly said yesterday that under
tho provisions of the new charter the next
meeting of tho council would be new on
May 20. as the rules now provide that reg
ular meetings shall be held on the first
and third Mondays of each month. The
adjournment of Monday night he considers
as naught, as there was no quorum. Mar
tin and Dvorak are trying to hold meet
ings, and they notified the newspapers yes
terday that a meeting was to bo held last
night, but If there was no one but Martin
and Dvorak showed up, nnd the balance of
tho members and the clerk do not propose
to place themselves In a position where
they may bo In contempt of court.
This delay until May 20 will cause the
city employes and those who have bills
against the municipality to wait for their
money. Unless n special meeting Is called
nothing can be done and tho mayor stated
yesterday that he could see no reason Just
now for the calling of a special meeting.
Ho, like the others, prefers to wait until
the court has rendered a decision In the
case. As has been stated, the appointive
mcmberB are preparing to put up a big
flcht. nnd if ncrmittcd to do so by tho
court will show why Martlu and Dvorak
were inclined to reject all nppolntmcnts
and allow the council to Jog along with four
members for tho balance of tho year,
Rumor has It that n certain faction or
the democracy Is behind the restraining
order, thn purpose being to make a fight on
Johnston. As for Vnnsnnt there Is no com
plaint against his appointment, except from
tho friends of Clifton. As uiuion was
turnud down at the primaries and Vansant
won out the mayor felt that he should
name tho winner, and he did so. As for
Troutan, the engineer at tho South Omaha
nostofllce. who secured tho restraining or
der, nearly everyone seems to think that
ho Is not to blame, as he has been used
as a tool by the democrats and a few re
publicans who have shown a great deal of
Interest In tho appointment ot two council-
men.

Richard Mansfield bears the distinction of
hnvlne banded together the largest dra
matic organization In the history of tho
modern stage. It takes a special train of
ten cars to transport tho company and
equipment. Pour of the cars are used to
provide accommodations for tho 167 people
who are on Mr. Mansfield s travoiins list.
One Is the eminent actor's own prlvato car
nnd the other five are baggago cars. An
Idea of the Immense amount of special
scenery which Is used 'In "Henry V" can be
obtained from tho statement that four of
these baggage cars are chock full of scen
ery, furniture, properties, crates of armor
nnd costumo trunks.
"The 167 people who compose Mr. Mans
field's company." said his personal repre
sentative, Paul Wllstach, "Includo the orlgl
nal cast of fifty-two people, a ballet of
dancing women, a ninle choir, a number of
auxiliaries and supernumeraries and a large
working force. Tho tour this season covers
a zigzag route extending from Uoston to

CHANGES IN ALARM SYSTEM
mv MkuiiU for .second, Third nnd
(enernl ('nil (in Into
IJrTcel Tniln),
At noon today Chief Hedcll will In
augurate a number of changes In tho man
ner of responding to alarms and similar
matters which are calculated to secure
better protection and quicker service in
all parts of tho city. The districts covered
from each engine house arc to be changed
In nearly every instance, the Idea being to
havo each district as compactly arranged
as possible.
Tho most Important change, as far as
tho firemen are concerned, will be In the
manner of turning In and sounding second,
third nnd general nlarms. Under the old
system they were as follows: 4-1-2, second;
4-1-3, third; 2-1-1, genernl. The similarity
between the second and general alarms oc
caslonally caused ecrlous mistakes, one be
lng taken for tho other, with the result
that companies responded when they should
not and failed to como when they should.
With an attendance exceeding that of
former opening days the grand chapter of
tho Order of the Eastern Star yesterday
afternoon In the Masonic temple began Its
twcntv-slxth annual session. Mrs. Louise
Mathews of Fremont, grand matron of the
chapter, and other grand officers, arrived
yesterday and are In charge of the de
liberations of the body. The order of tne
Eastern Star Is a woman's auxiliary to the
Order of Free Masons.
Several Important matters of chapter
legislation are to come before the meeting,
but will possibly not come up until
Thursday, the last day of tho session.
There Is likely to be a spirited competition
between Omaha, Fremont, flrand Island,
Lincoln nnd ssvcral other cities for the
location of the next annual meeting. The
Lincoln delegation, which arrived yesterday
morning, has started a movement In favor
of tho capital city.
Lincoln Wnnla It.
It is urged by the visitors from Lincoln
that tho new Masonic rooms In that city,
which they say aro among the most taste
fully furnished In the west, should bo a
sufficient drawing card to decide tho ques
tion.
The meeting yesterday was opened
according to the rltunl of tho order. An
address of welcome on behalf of Omaha
was extended by L. H. Bradley, worthy
patron, and responso was delivered by
Mary E. Strcctcr of Crete, associate grand
matron. The remainder of tho afternoon
session was devoted to routine business.

It can easily be appreciated that It takes
a large ana most ctncient stall to run tne
stage during Mr. Mansfield's production cf
'Henry V.' In charge behind tho curtain Is,
first of all, the stage manager, who watches
with a keen eye every detail ot tho vast
pictorial mechanism. Tho stago manager
always wears a full dress suit. This Is
primarily tor the reason that he frequently
has to appear beforo tho curtain In responso
to tho tumultuous applause and make the
announcement that Mr. Mansfield declines
to appear beforo an audienco for a speech
In his costume.
"Besides the stago manager are his first
assistant, the master of transportation, the
calcium light man and two operators, the
head carpenter and one assistant, two prop
erty men, a call boy. the hostler, a ward
robe mistress, several seamstresses and the
wlgmaker. Their work docs not begin nor

yesterday forenoon. After brier services
at tho family residence. Twenty-second and

As soon as the council declared the con
tract with C. It. Hunnnn of Council niuff3
void the bonds wero disposed of by Frank
Morlarity. The delay of Hannan In this
matter has caused tho city a great deal of
trouble nnd money and It Is safe to predict
that If ho ever comes over here to bid on
bonds again he will have to bring the cash
with hlra and not put up a check, which Is
now claimed by tho council to be worthless

yesterday looking over the records to as

have anything to say about tho matter
every class ot business would be taxed If
the saloons were to be compelled to pay
an occupation tnx. Martin already has an
ordinanco In his clothes, which he is anx
ious to introduce, calling for the repeal
ing of the present saloon occupation tax of

tax Is not being seriously considered by
other members of the council, aside from

Importiiiiee of Scenery.
"How Important a place the scenery occu
pies In this production may best bo under-
fclood when It is stated that there are inter
polated in Mr. Mansfield's acting version of
Henry " two scenes and ono entire act In
which not a word is spoken. The first of
these scenes Is tho tableaux of the battle of
glncourt; the second Is the last sccno In
tho play. It shows the central nave of the
cathedral at Troyes with the grand altar
behind the choir screen, the entry of the
vested choir, cross-bearers, incense-bearers,
prlest3, bishops and archbishops; then the
entire French court, accompanying the
hy the number of the box from which the
first alarm was sent.
Another change which will afford better
protection to the city Is tne Introduction
of a system whereby companies from out
side cLglno houses will move to other
houses In cases of a big flro downtown.
For instance, the company at Thirty-sixth
and Jackson streets would move to Twenty
seventh nnd Jackson when the comnanr
at the latter place responded to a frecond
nlarm. In casp of a third alarm the com
pany then stationed at Twenty-seventh
street would go to the fire and a company
from still further out would move in. This
method has been worked out In detail to
apply to every engine house.

"Not for ten years have tnere been so
many people looking nbout In Omaha, as
thero aro today, for good Interest-bearing
city property, to buy as an Investment."
This statement wan made yesterday by a
real estate man who Is a close observer of
tho local market, and It Is borne out by
the testimony of many others. Tho fact Is
these Investor havo been steadily growing
In numbers for somo little time. Their
coming has hardly been noticed, for they
go about their business quietly and without
making any parade. It seems to be their Idea
to take their pick of whatever bargain)
are offered beforo the general public gets
to hear of them. In this picking up ot
bargains tho first-comer Is generally best
Bprved, and many of the best purchases
being made nt the present tlmo never be
come generally known.
Almost any active agent in the city to
day can find a buyer within twenty-four
hours for any desirable piece that is of
fered at a sacrifice. ThlB Is nothing more
than a natural condition or a normal mar
ket, but It Is something which no western
city has been able to boast of for six or
seven years past, and In some cases for
ten years. A shrewd business man from
a Nebraska town walked Into a real estate
offico last week and said to the agent:
I want to buy tho best thing you have
to offer for an Investment."
Tho agent asked his price, and was told;
"Anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000."
He had como Into Omaha with the In
tention of buying and beforo he left that
night ho had almost closed up a deal for
some property on tbo outskirts of tho busi
ness district.
This man was a sample of many. Ne
braskans who have made money at farm
ing or In business In some of the smaller
towns of tho state ore coming Into Omaha
to buy real estate. Then thero aro also
many Ortaha people Investing In the same
way. It Is not generally known that thero
nrc a half dozen or a dozen per
sons who havo quietly picked up In tho
aggregate several hundred properties, prob
ably In amounts varying from $100 up,
since the beginning of tho winter. The
great bulk of this property has either been
sold a second tlmo or is still on the market
nt low prices, for It was taken up as bar
gains In order to make quick turns and
realize small margins of profit.
In the majority of cases these buyers
are keeping In tho background and tholr
names are known only to their agents and
a few friends. Tneir presence, nowovcr.
Is making itself felt In tho market and
unap. hunters nro now finding It difficult
to get satisfied. It Is only within recent
months that any extensive buying has been
done by real estate agents In Omaha. Deal
ers generally are satisfied that now Is thi
time to buy and they are showing their
faith by their acts.
Pimm of the llennelt HulldliiK.
Tho W. R. Bennett Building company has
accepted the plans of Fisher & Lawrio for
tho new department store building at Six
teenth and Harney streets. The excavating
for tbo cellars is now well under way rhJ
by the tlmo the contract for tho building
is let everything will be ready for pushing
the work to completion. Tho plans show
a four-story nnd basement building of gray
pressed brick, with terra cotta trimmings
and some gray stone corners and cornices.
There will be two main entrances, one on
Sixteenth and one on Harney, each In the
center of the building, and large plate
glass windows will extend around the entire
east and north fronts, a distance, includ
ing entrances, of 303 feet.
While matters are said to be advancing
favorably In regard to the other two cor
ners on the opposite side of Sixteenth
street, no leases havo yet been made and
consequently no steps have yet been taken
toward the construction of a building on
either corner. Tho agents, however, report
that they are In negotiation with a number
of possible tenants, and aro expecting to
close up somo leases before very long. The
two brick houses on these corners aro still
occupied by the otd tenants and the agents
yesterday secured leases from each of them
for ono year, with a provision that the
leases may bo terminated at any time with
thirty days' notice, under a penalty for
whatever time the house Is occupied after
tho notice expires. This Is done with a
view to obtaining possession of the prop
erty without delay when It Is desired to
build.
Itentm the Dundy limine,
Tho Dundy residence at tho corner of
Twenty-ninth nnd Leavenworth streets has

large three-story brick with fine grounds
nnd faces east and south. Mrs. Dundy
camo to Omaha from Chicago on Saturday
evening and was ablo to close up the lease
with Mr. Hlgglns yesterday. Tho house
has been empty slnco the family moved to
Chicago last fall.
Server Syntem for Poapeol Hill,
Pending the opening of North Thirty
third street the Prospect Hill Improve
ment club Is hard nt work on n scheme for
a system of sewers to rover the district
from about Thirty-first to Thirty-sixth and
from Hamilton as far north as Blondo. It
will be necessary to connect this system
with the main brick sewer, whlrh starts
at Thirty-third and Lincoln avenue, ono
block north of Cuming, nnd runs southeast
for a short distance and then cast under
Burt street. Tho city engineer's depart
mcnt Is now at work on the plans.and tho
members of tho club have been promised
that tho matter shall be laid beforo" tho
council ,nt next Tuesday's meeting.
Tho opening of Thirty-third street has
been a llttlo delayed by the refusal of some
of tho owners of the property which is
needed for the street to accept city war
rants !n payment. The difficulty Is ono
over which the promoters of tho Improve
ment do not anticipate any trouble, for the
whole amount of the damages Is only $11,
000 and they say there will be no difficulty
in disposing of the warrants. Ii the event,
however, that no one is found willing to
tako the special Improvement fund war
rants at face the members of tho Improve
ment club will endeavor to collect a por
tion ot the tax to bo levied against prop
erty that will be benefited In order to make
a tender of cash to those whose property
has been condemned. The street car com
pany has expressed Its Intention to extend
its tracks up California street and north
on Thirty-third as far as the cemetery as
Boon as the street is opened between Cali
fornia and Cuming and tho necessary grad
ing ban been done. It Is fully expected
that this work will be completed during the
summer.
