Is what Tho Bee offers to young women
who cam their own living.
It Is a part of tho American nature to

railroads and Mr. Pullman would never
have made such a fortuno out of the sleep.

Keen Eye for Bnalneaa,
A wedding which attracted something
more than ordinary Interest was that of
Mr. Mono Jacobs of Dca Moines and Miss
Elizabeth Byolr, which occurred at 6
o'clock Inst evening at the home of the
bride's mother, Mru. M. Byolr of 1910 Cap
ltol uvenue. Forty relatives and friends
witnessed tho ceremony.
Tho parlors of tho Byolr homo were
banked with palms and ferns. Hopes of
smllax and carnations were draped from
tho chandelier In the drawing room to tbo
top of n large mantel and formed a canopy,
under which the young couple stood while
Habbl Simon read thu marriage service.
The bride was attired in a handsome
gown of white crepo de chene and was
attended by her slBter, Miss Bessie Byolr,
as maid of honor. The groom was unut
tanded. After tho wedding an claborato
wedding supper was served. The guests
were seated at two prettily decorated ta
bles. An Informal reception followed.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs left last evening for
Des Moines, whero they will make their
home.
Charles Jacobs, father of the groom, Mr.
nnd Mrs. I. Jacobs, Louts Jacobs and I.
Goldman, all of Des Molncs, were among
the out-of-town guests who attended the
wedding.
TeleKrniiin of Conurnt nlii t lon.
More than 100 congratulatory telegrams
were received by the young couple. Gov
ernor fihnw of Iowa, E. II. Conger, United
States minister to China; Senators Allison
and Doll Ivor and many of the Iowa con
gressmen were among tho prominent men
who sent greetings to the bride and groom.
Utiiilut Career of Groom.
Moso Jacobs of Des Molncs, the best
known newsboy In tho west, and Miss Eliz
abeth Byolr of Omaha were married last
evening at the home of the bride's mother,
1910 Capitol avenue.
Twenty-five years ago Moso began selling
papers in Des Moines and his voice has
been heard continuously In the streets of
Iowa's capital city until last week, when
ho established a news store.
He has a wider acquaintance than any
other man in Des Moines. For years ho
stood at the corner of Fifth and Walnut
streets and cried his papers. Ilia voice Is
so powerful that ho could be heard for
blocks In spite of the noises of the street.
Moso was not an ordinary newsboy. Ho
always carried the leading papers of every
city In the United States and was nothing
short of a moving news stand. Ho num
bered his customers by the thousands and
his earnings would put to shame the re
ceipts of the ordinary news store.
Lack In Ileal Eatate. j
Years ago Moso began to Invest his
money In Des Molncs real estate and he has
acquired a fortune estimated at $75,000. His
friends havo repeatedly urged him to leave
the street for a more dlglntled business, but
his perlpatutlc news dtand was so success
ful tbat he was contented with his lot and
did not hazard a change until laBt week.
Mose has an acquaintance with every well
known man In Iowa. He U authority on
Iowa politics and can relate the history of
every Hawkeyo who hall figured prominently
In politics within the last quarter of a cen
tury. He is 31 years of age.
Out nit a a Kicker.
A story Is told In Des Moines of how
Moso outwitted a merchant who mistreated
him. Newspaper sales were particularly
good on a certain corner, but a merchant
who occupied a storeroom adjoining the
corner refused to allow Mo3e to stand on
the corner. In a few weoks the merchant
wan notified that he had a new landlord.
Mose had purchased the building, and after
that time he was not molested.
Miss Byolr was formerly a resident of Des
Molncs. Tho young people have been
friends for years, and the marrlngo comes
as a climax to a courtship of five years.

DAILY BEEt FRIDAY,
South Omaha News
There Is a divergence of opinion In re
spect to the High school location and it
does not look now as It there was nny Im
mediate prospect of work on the structure
being commenced this season. After the
plans of Architect Davis had been ap
proved members of the board agreed that
the site purchased from Thomas Hoctor
was not largo enough to erect the build
ing and leave any room for walks, lawns,
etc. It waB then proposed that tho board
purchase the property adjoining the Hoc
tor site on the north. This question has
been debated for several weeks, but noth
ing has been done. Now there seems to
be an entirely different sentiment. Quite
a number of property owners want the
board to purchase the lots at Twenty-
fourth and K streets Instead of the lots
on tho north of the present site, thus giv
ing the proposed building at least a wing
frontage on Twenty-fourth street. As the
plans are now drawn the building will
front on Twenty-third street and only the
rear of the wings can be seen from Twenty
fourth street. A tiropcrty owner who ap
pears to bo entirely disinterested In tho
matter said yesterday that a petition was
about to be circulated asking the board
to change Its arrangements so as to front
the building on K street, thus allowing
one of tho wings to face Twenty-fourth
Btreet. He said that unless this was dono
the people of the First ward would oppose
the voting of bonds for the erection of n
High school. Tho property on Twenty
fourth street will cost a great deal more
than that proposed to be purchased by thu
board at Twenty-third and J streets and
It nppcars doubtful If the city at large
will caro to go to the additional expense.
If the plan as suggested Is carried out tho
nlley between Twcnly-thlrd nnd Twenty
fourth streets will have to be vacated by
the city for half .a block and thcro may
bo some opposition to this, Tho Board of
Education is greatly handicapped In this
matter, not only on account of the lack
of funds, but by the constant suggestions
of taxpayers who ore reully not vitally In
terested. Mayor's .Proclamation.
