Who U SIcmv to
Mettle,
From the marriage ceremony to the
Omaha Jail for evading a hoard bill Is
the course that Dr. P. O, Hue has run
In the lust two weeks. It Is about that
long sitter he appeared In Council niurfs
and yesterday he enmo to Omaha In charge
of Sergeant Slack of the Council Hluffs
police The proprietor of the Millard hotel
Is the complaining witness against him, his
hill being W.
Little !s disclosed of the antecedents uf
Dr. Hue. Two weeks ago he married Min
nie B. Hecknell, who had hcen elerk In
the office of Dr. P. J. Montgomery, In Coun
cil Hluffs, and tho latter speaks well of the
young woman, whose homo has been In
Council Hluffs. On the marriage certificate,
which was Issued In Pottawattamie county,
Dr. Hue gives his address as Now York
City.
The honeymoon was spent at the Mil
lard hotel In Omaha, hut the departure
from there was unexpected and without the
customary warning being served on the
proprietor. Dr. and Mrs. Hue then tool:
up their resldenco nt tho Grand hotel In
Council Hluffs. That was the first of last
week. The doctor was much In the com
pany of Dr, A. V. Stephenson, nnd gave
the attaches of the hotel to understand that
he had been nppolnted nsslstant to Dr.
Stephenson, who Is county physician.
Thu hotel attaches also assert thai the
bridegroom was a frequent visitor to the
barroom. Tho effects of this arc said to
have hcen apparent about tho Council Hluffs
hotel Friday evening. Shortly before mid
night thu doctor and his bride went down
from a hasty visit to their room and said
they thought they would go to Omaha and
would not return until late Saturday even
In R.
The elerk. n trifle suspicious, hurried to
the room they were occupying and found
that all of tho baggage had been removed.
He notified tho proprietor, Dr. Smith, and
n Bcurch for the brldo and groom was In
stituted. It was resumed by Day Clerk
Annls yestcrdny morning nnd ho located
the couple at tho home of tho bride's
mother In Council Hluffs, Dr. Ruo was
escorted to tho Grand hotel and settled the
bill there, after which he wus turned over
to the police, who took him to the Millard
hotel, whero ho was arrested yesterday
afternoon. Another bill left unpaid on tho
east side of the river Is for (lowers and
It Is said It amounts to about 1S.
The friends of Mrs. Ruo In Council Hluffs
nre chagrined over tho affair. As far as
can bo learned, Dr. Rue visited the Bluffs
practically as n stranger, representing him
self to he u physician. He made a good ap
pearance. WOMK.V STOP GIFT OF I1AI1V.

DES MOINKS. Ia., Mny 11. (Special Tel
egram.) A sensation was created here to
day by tho announcement that Chief ot Do
tcctUes Smith and Detectives Eckroot and
Johnson have been .suspended, pending an
Investigation of their conduct. Tho os
tensible reason tor their suspension Is that
Smith Is in tho habit of getting drunk,
and that the other two violated orders on
the occasion of tho special Conger train to
Council Blufts. They were detailed to go
with the special train, but in coming back
they took the regular nnd, stopping off at
Valley Junction, came, in on tho Bpcclal.
Des Moines has had a snrles of unparal
leled robberies and housebreakings, and
while there are five detectives on tho work,
not an arrest has been made nnd no stolen
property has been recovered tho last year.
Tho stato of nffalrs has caused alarm In
tho city. In one week there wero half a
dozen houses entered. Several safes havo
been blown open In the business portion of
the city unci tho thieves havo escaped.
The mayor caused an investigation to be
made.
University Secretary Is Reprimanded.
An effort has been mado by Secretary
Haddock of tho Iowa Stato university to

The stnto auditor refused to lssuo warrants
for the amounts claimed and Secretary
Haddock camu out In a full statement of
the case, In which ho treated the stato
auditor and attorney genornl rathor
roughly. Today tho auditor received a
letter from President McLean of tho Stato
university ttatlng that Secretary Haddock
was merely given permission to see what
he could do toward securing the moiicy
and wns not authorized to proceed further.
Ho assured the auditor there Is no dlsr
position at tho State university to get Into
a controversy over tho matter. Tho amount
claimed Is not large, but there Is some
question whether It belongs to tho uni
versity and It will not bo disposed of until
the legislature meets.

LOCAL OUTLOOK WAS NEVER BETTER
llcmnnil tn Good nnd Income Is As
bnreil. Thus llrnulnu lioestors
to n Field OfTerliiK Cer
tnln Returns.
Omaha real estate men were asked during
the last week to briefly express their opln
tons on the outlook In Omuha, with especial
regard to the desirability of Omaha prop
erty for Investment purposes. It was to bo
expected that the men who are most Inter
csted would take a cheerful vlow of what
Is generally admitted to be an encouraging
outlook, but unanimity of the opinions Is
certainly remarkably. Hero Is what they
say:
A. P. Tukoy, Hoard of Trado Building
The real estate market Is healthy and rea
sonably active. People havo begun to renl
Izo that prices have been very low for
severai years nnd that thero Is a sharp up
ward turn for higher prices on nil wel
located properties. It Is ttmo for all to
accept ot the precent conditions and mako
deals nt higher values nnd thus bring
prices back to a normal condition. In the
matter of low-priced residences I have
never seen in fifteen yenrs of buslucss n
greater number of people who are ready
to purchase homes of this kind, provided
location Is good and property reasonable in
price. Tho time Is rlpo for somo man to
build some Blx-rnom houses, with modern
convenances savo furnace, on lots milll
clcntly large, and some money can be made
by tho operation.
S. A. Broadwell of Hall & Hroadwell
There ore n good many Inquiries for prop
erty, hut wc find It difficult to deliver it at
tho prices which prevailed a year or two
ago. Hicro is uo doubt hut thero has been
an 'advanco In values. Owners who were
holding their renl estate at a loss nro now
getting good returns from rentals and as
tho property is proving productive they nre
not as anxious to sell. Rents are advancing
and doslrublo rental properties of all do
scrlptlons arc In demand,
W. II. Green, president of Reul Estate
Lxchunge There 13 no question hut what
small properties aro selling more rendily
now than nt any time since the boom.
think that tho prevailing Jow prices nre
better for, all concerned and tend to pro
mote u. steady, substantial growth. A
larger percentage of sales are being mado
for spot cash now than at any tltno since
J. H. Parrottc I think that tho outlook
for reul estate Is Improving all the time.
hlle the prices on property have not ad
vanced much there seems to bo a firmer
feeling. Thero ure a good many houses
Doing built, but still thero Is a great
demand for rentnl property, I could rent
twenty-fivo Iioubcs to good tennnts nt good
prices If I had them.
W. 11, Gates Things uro looking better
In realty. I havo been talking, trying to
think this snmo thing for several
years past, but wo have not experienced
or felt such healthy conditions as wo have
Just now. Those people who nro looking
for snaps had better stop looking nnd do
business.
C. C. Shlmcr of Shlmer & Chase Spring
business has been very good so fnr. Prop
erty taken on mortgages und put on the
market a few years ago, at very low prices,
has hein almost all closed out, nnd thu
prices of other property are about tho
tamo as two years ago. A complete, up-to-dutc,
neat house can bo purchased at
"about" as low a price today as over. Resi
dence property valued at from $1,000 to
$3,500 can yet be purchased on a basis that
will net 7 to 0 per cent above taxes, In
surance and repairs. Thero are fewer va
cant houses In Omaha today than at any
time In 'en years, not excepting exposition
year, resulting In a considerable advance
of renlB.
J. S. Gibson of J. W. Robblns & Co.
There 1b a decided Improvement in tho
real estate market In some lines, There Is
a good demand for well located resldenco
lots. Wo ulso havo nn occasional Inquiry
from strangers for modern Improved resi
dence property, provided always that It
must bo a bargain. To those who may bo
seeking Investment for their spare dollars
wo would suy that In our opinion thero Is
no investment that would pay them better
than tho bulldlug of medium valued modern
residences In the city. Tho supply is far
short of tho demand.
W. Farnnm Smith The demand for resl
denco property Is steadily growing more
active. Tho Increased demand Is greater
In higher-priced property, nnd prob
ably for that reason the activity !s
more uotlcablo In tho West Fnrnatn dis
trict. Buyers, however, do not yet heem
to fully npprcclutc tho new conditions that
aro gradually bringing up values nnd many
aro still waiting for bargains.
W. L. Selby Omaha Is favorably passing
the probationary period of all now cities
and, llko most oldor places, purchases aro
now gradunlly being mado for C to 8 per
cent Income Investments, a fenturo not
common heretofore. This Is it consequence
of stability of rents nnd values, which will
surely result In pouring cheap money Into
Omaha for investment instead of being
loaned nt tho present abnormnlly low
rates. My greatest Inquiries are for homes
and "snaps," of which the latter Is gradu
ally disappearing.
Georgo E. Glbsou Property is cheaper in
Omaha today than in any of tho western
cities and tho opportunity for buying
homes was never better, as properties aro
buro to advance, Desirable properties arc
gradually being absorbed nnd homeseekers
will find that thoy will ho obliged to meet
an advanco In prices within the next year.
Business properties In tho right locations
are good Investments now, regardless of
their present Income.
Ernest Sweet of Sweet & Headley We
notlco a gradual Improvement nnd an In
creased demand for real estate In general.
Tho demand for small homes has been bet
ter this spring than for several years.
Choice resldenco lots nro being taken up
rapidly hy prospective home builders, most
of whom nre going to build nt once. Some,
however, are buying becniiso thoy realize
that they will never ho able to buy r
cheaply as now. I think that the sales ot
tho past year In business properties speaks
encouragingly for Omuha and no one com
tcmplatlng investing In business or resl
denco property need doubt for a moment
tho steady appreciation.
C. C, George of Georgo & Co. The real
estate market Is In a good, healthy con
dition and tho majority of the uales re
corded aro for actual uso or Improvement
by the purchasers. I look for a good legiti
mate business right along, hut do not ox
pect any unusual activity this year, nor
for any material chango In values, Most
of tho Improved properties, both business
and resldenco, nro rented so nB to pay a
good rate of Interest on tho present basis
nf values nnd many vacant lots In desirable
locations could he Improved so as to yield
a good Income on tho present actual cost
and Improvements,
Henry B. Payne, C01 New York Life I
am very much gratified to note the renewed
Interest that eastern investors are tuklng In
Omaha, While many who held mortgages
horo several yeurs ago becamo much dis
heartened over the shrinkage of valtien
after tho panto their Interest has been re
vived nnd In many cases they have plnnel
their faith to Omaha stroager than ever
Thero hns been 1 very healthy
amount of home buying this year,
and with realty values so low
nnd houses In such strong demand for
rent, at prices runglng higher than for
years, a largo amount of local capital ba
been placed In rental Investment this sea
son. George P. Demls I don't believe thero
will ver bo In the history of Omaha such
an opportunity to buy real estate at as low
n figure today. I have been In tho real
estate business In Omaha for thirty-three
yeurs nnd have passed through a number
of depressing period? uud have also been
near the head of tho procession during
prosperous times, nnd I believe that were
wo to live 1,000 years wo would not again
meet with such disastrous conditions as
have prevailed during the Inst thirteen or
fourteen years.
Chris. Buyer I havo a number of In
quiries for properties, but find that most
nil people are looking for grnulno bargains
nnd don't Invest their money as readily
as might be expected. However, I believe
property nt presiut Is as low as It will ever
be In Omaha and the ones who are Intend
ing to buy homcB will find that the longer
they wait the more they will have to pay.
Rental property Is In demand now, espe
cially small houses. There are numerous
applications for houtcs of from four to
eight rooms.
W. P. Dodge, Jr., Manager of Omaha
Realty Co. We look for a general Increase
In values of Omaha real estate nnd more
of a demand, as all other forms of Invest
ment havo reached n price that no longer
presents n good Investment. It is a
notable fuct that renl cstato Is the
last form of property to feel the ef
fect of good times and since farm prop
erties havj reached a price that offer little
better Investment than stocks nnd bonds,
we think money will now go Into city prop
erty. There hns been more activity In the
real cstnte market In the last threo months
thnn for several years, and although It
hns not had any tendency to Increase val
ues that can be explained hy the fact that
a great deal of property on the market llko
ours was acquired hy foreclosure of mort
gages and Is being sold at a great loss to
the mortgagee. For Instance, In our case,
wo havo Bold about $6.',000 worth of real
estate since February 1, In amounts rang
ing from $30 to $6,000. This property
netted us nbout 50 per cent of what It cost
the Omaha Savings bank. People have bc
como to accustomed to this sacrlfico real
cstato sale in Omahn that they look only
for "snaps" where they can double their
money In a short time. When tho property
acquired by mortgage Is once sold and In
the hnudu of permanent holders wo will
have more permanent and higher renl es
tate values In our city.
Garvin Bros. An encouraging feature of
the local real cstato market Is tho Increased
Inquiry from non-residents wanting to buy
Omaha property for purpose of Investment.
Prosperous farmers nnd business men out
In the state nnd from Iowa nnd Illinois are
now frequent callers for Improved prop
erties that will net good returns as nn
Investment and give promise of an ad
vanced value.

This company owns In fee simple, free nnd clear of all encumbrance, acres
of oil lands In the famous oil fields of Southern Texas. These lands aro located In Jef
ferson, Hardin nnd Liberty counties, nnd Include two tracts In the Beaumont field. Of
tbo Inttcr ono tract Is situated C.300 feet northeast of the Lucas gusher and B.500 feet
northeast nf tho Bcatty, tho other about 2,r00 feet northwest of tho samo wells; thui
both itrc ill the heart of tho richest oil llckls In this country, nnd In fart In
the world, The third tract lies Just west of the well known Sour Lnko nnd Saratoga
districts, and In fnct directly adjoining the latter. The Sour Iake district Is believed
to bo tho next In line to bring In gushers, perhaps more remarkable even than those at
Beaumont. Strong surface Indications of oil have boon known to TexonB for over fifty
years, tho seepages being exceptionally strong on and about this rompuny'a tract, and
shallow wells havo In past years been sunk with good rrBiilt.i, The oil obtained Is of
exactly tho same character ns the Beaumont product, and there Is abundant reason for
belief that at the Beaumont depths oil will be found In equal quantity as well as quality.
For tho purpose of actively developing the above properties tho company offers for

The title to these lands Is derived from the original Spanlhh grant of Sept. Ifi, 183.1,
and tho chain of title is perfect to date. Ahstrnct (s on file at the company's

securo possession of nn assured title to theso valuable lands makes this company one
of tho safest Investments before tho publlo today, nnd tho Increasing mnrket valuo nf

Tho capitalization of the company Is extremely low as compared with Its resources;

PROPOSE SUBURBAN RAILWAY
Scheme fnr n Complete System Suli
inlttrd to the County
Hoard.
A new proposition for tho construction
ot a suburban electric ralltoud was re
ceived hy tho Hoard of County Commis
sioners ycBtcrda'y. This latest proposi
tion comes from a company styled tho
Omaha Suburbau Hallway nud Traction
compuny nnd it proposes not only a lino
to Fremont, but a complete system of
Inlcrurbiit rullway connecting the cities
of Omaha nnd South Oninna with Plutts
mouth, Fremont, Blair and Intermediate
towns and villages,
As a showing of good faith tho comp.my
offers to deposit with tho county treasurer,
within threo months after the acceptance
of Its proposition, a bond lu the sum of
$26,000, the amount to be forfeited to tho
county If tho company falls to curry out
Its agreement.
Proposition to County.
The Omaha Suburbau Hallway uud Trac
tion company, fnr and In consideration ot
tho rights to use tho public highways for
Its proposed llnei, proposes:
Firat To hlu pluts and BUreys of tho
proposed .'outes ot railway within six
months after the acceptance of Its proposi
tion by the county board.
Second-To begin laying tracks within
0110 year after tho acceptance of the propo
sition. Third to complete each separate routo
to tho county line wtthlu ono year after
the beginning of tracklaying-
Fourth To complete tbo entire system
and equip and opera tn It within four yeurs
utter the acceptance ot tho proposition.
The written proposition of tho new com
pany In signed by Rb attorney, hut fulls to
suggest tho names of tho capitalists behind
tho enterprise. When tho attorney was
asked for the Individual names of his cli
ents ho stated that they could not bo dis
closed for nt least ten duys. Chairman
Connolly and tho other members of tho
county board declare that they havo no
Idea as to tho Identity of the promoters ot
this latest suburban railway.
Tho proposition has been referred to the
committee of tho whole und when It cornea
up In that committee tor consideration a
demand for the Identity of tho Individuals
behind the company will most likely bo
made.
"Before wo grant any franchise," said
Chairman Connolly, "wo must know to
whom wo are granting it. Tho new prop
osition looks very good to me much better
than the ono for the Omaha & Fremont lino
now before tho hoard.!'
