OMAHA VIEW IMPROVEMENTS
Club Oats Some Information and Some
' Seeded Street Lights.
WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED THIS YEAR
trret Railway I'onpuny Drrllnra to
' Make m Promise and CHy K
Sloeer Outline Jmt a
Little Work.
The Omaha View Improvement club held
a very well attended meeting Friday night.
Report of he veveral rommitteen vhuvveil
that pomethlns; In doing In the district.
The street car committee reported the re
sult ot its vMt to the street railway mag
nate! In reference to the Thirty-third
street extension to Maple street, but did
not receive much encouragement. Man
sger Smith told the committee that the
project ot extending that line had not
been abandoned, but that he could not
make any promises as to just when the
extenHlon would be undertaken, -and hence
would have no promise to break.
The committee on Htreet lights reported
that through the 'energy of Councllmun
Kvana and the committee, that several
lights had been secured for the Omaha
View district! The locations of the street
lights were published In The Bee council
proceedings a day or two ago.'
The resolution providing for an amend
ment to the constitution of the club to
abollHh the executive board as now con
stituted and create In Its stead a board of
trustees, was read a second time and
AN UNPLEA5ANT EXPERIENCE
lias it ever been your unhappy lot to be
iold by your physician that you miut go to
a hospital and submit to an operation? If
so, ' you remember with hat dread and
shrinking you awaited the day when you
must endure the knife.
The present day surgeon appears to be
possessed by a mania for operatlnn, espe
cially In casts of hemorrhoids or piles, and
while the gnater number of the profession
do not recommend this "list resort" unlens
they honestly believe It necessary, the fact
remains that much needless operating Is
done, and the patient put to much expense
and suffering for whatT
To obtain a ponsible temporary relief;
tlH-se words are used advisedly, because In
nine cases out of ten the affliction returns
and the patient is Just where he started
from. Oftentimes he could be cured much
mure simply and easily by tiie use of such
a remedy as the I'yramld Pile Cure; this
has come to be recognised as the best rem
edy on the market for the painful disease
numed, aiu! the druggists now sell mure of
It than all other pl'e remedies combined,
v .The Writer personally knows people who
Wet afflicted mlth the worst form of bleed
Ing'.and protruding illc and who were per
mufeently cured by the use of Pyramid IMle
t'ure, In every one of these cases the at
tending physician had assured the sufferer
that enly by an operation could he rid him
self uf the disease; o much for the Infalli
bility of the doctors.
This remedy, which Is sold by all drug
gists at the low prke of fifty ceuta, Is in
suppository form, is applied dlrect'y to the
parts affected, and performs lis work
quietly and painlessly. The Pyramid Drug
t'o., Marshall. Mich., will mall free to any
Iddreaa a book telling all about pile or
hemorrhoids, their cause and cure.
A suggestion is offered that if the reader
Is afflicted, or knows anyone who Is, this
book, be sent ftr(,aa It will be found luvalu-
adopted. This board of trustees will have
sole charge of the affairs of the club and
will also arrange for the erection of the
new club building. Messrs. Sancha, Tost
and JIarrlgnn were appointed a committee
to prepare the proper amendment.
Information for the Club.
City Engineer Andrew Rosewater was
present at the invitation of the club, and
delivered an extremely Interesting and In
structive address on city affairs in gen
eral. He talked on the paving, street
lighting, storm and sanitary sewer sys
tems of the city, and gave much needed
and appreciated information along these
lines. He recommended that each of the
Improvement clubs of the city secure one
or moro copies of the city charter, of
which 300 copies have been printed for
public Information, saying the clubs would
thereby be enabled to understand more
completely their rights as Individuals and
taxpayers.
His address throughout was attentively
listened to and upon Its conclusion Mr.
Rosewater was asked many questions per
taining to improvement matters In the
Omaha View part of the city, particularly
along sewer and street grading lines. He
said:
"I do not think there Is much hope for
the North Omaha sewer this year. How
ever, pip sewers will be constructed
through this part of town to which at
tachments may be made for sanitary pur
poses. The city has acquired a. sort of
street through the district, following the
low places in which this pipe sewer will
be laid. The need for the Saddle Creek
sewer Is so much greater than through any
other section Just now, that this Is why
we may not be able to do anything with
the North Omaha sewer this year."
Saddle Creek Sewer Affair.
He said further In reference to the re
cent award of the Saddle Creek sewer
contract: "The communications and pro
tests of the different Improvement clubs
were Introduced In the last meeting of the
council, and that body demunded that the
Board of Public Works submit to the
council all bids and papers pertaining to
these contracts. Two members of the
Board of Public Works tried to delay or
Ignore this request of the council, but I
Insisted that the request should be com
piled with, and now the council has all
the paprr pertaining to these contracts.
Only today an Incident occurred in the
Board of Public Works meeting, In which
the maJArlty of the- board steadfastly re
fused to 'consider the specifications for
certain Improvements made out by the city
engineer, but rather insisted upon the
adoption of specifications submitted by
contractors or corporations, with whom
the two gentlemen were In conference a
short while prior to the meeting. I asked
them to eliminate the words "city en
gineer" wherever they appeared in my spe
cifications If the words were so objection
able to them, but they declined to do so.
And this is about the general character of
opposition that I find almost Incessantly
from the majority of ths Board of Public
Works."

Denr Roads Are Blockaded.
NEW YORKv Keb. JO. Officials of north
ern railroads terminating here deny the
extensively circulated reports of a freight
blockade on their lines. Merchants are
complaining of delay In shipments, espe
cially flour, from Buffalo, but the railroad
men declare there is no extensive blockade
and such congestion as dees exist is due
only to the unusually severe weather conditions.

Notices are being prepared by the city
engineer and the city clerk for a meeting
of the council as a board of equalization.
The first meeting of the board will be held
on the first Tusday in March and will con
tinue for three days. A six days' publica
tion of this meeting la necessary and Is
now being prepared. When the board
meets it will consider remonstrances from
property owners In eight grading districts
and one sewer district. Nearly all of the
erradlng in the eight districts has been com
pleted and the sewer in question is now in
working order. Few, If any, protests on
the tax to be levied are expected, as in all
of the districts to be considered a majority
of property owners have petitioned for the
Improvements.
Under the present law the council meets
only four times a year to consider protests
In Improvement dfstrfvts. This plan is
favored not only by city officials, but by
property owners as well, as plenty of notice
Is given now, so that outside property own
ers may attend these meetings of the
equalization board If they so desire.
Jacob Ward Dies from Injuries.
Yesterday afternoon Jacob Ward met
with an accident at Twenty-seventh and L
streets whl'.e driving a team. The horses
became frightened and Ward, who Is abou
60 years of age, was thrown from his wagon
and Injured so that he dl"d last night. As
soon after the accident as possible Ward
was taken to the hospltul, but the physi
cians could not save his life. The deceased
lived at Fourteenth and O streets. As
death was purely accldiital the coroner
does not conskler an Inquest necessary.
(attain Shields Hetnrns.
P. II. Shields, captain ot police, returned
yesterday from the south, where he went
to look for.L,. E. Ford. While Shields had
no orders or a requisition for Ford, he
wanted to-obtain his deposition In a flim
flam deal, alleged to have been perpetrated
a couple of weeks ago. Ford reported to
the police that he had been confldenced out
of lik) on hU way from Omaha to South
Omaha on a Missouri Pacific train. Two
men were arrested and held as suspects
for twelve days- and then released. In the
meantime Ford went south. He was traced
by Captain Shields to a number of points
In Texas. Finally the captain gave up the
search snd returned home. The city Is
not put to any expense In this matter, as
the council will not allow bills of this kind
where there Is no Warrant on hand or a
requisition In sight.

Men's Christian association makes the fol
lowing announcements:

CENTRAL LA BO REUNION MEETS
Rontlne Matters Occnar Attention of
the Delegates at tho
Session.
Routine business of a minor nature took
up most of the attention of the Central
Labor union last night. A communication
from the Indiana State Federation of
Labor explained that the woodworkers of
Indianapolis are on a strike against what
they think Is the first aggression of tha
"Parry organisation."
The stationary firemen asked that a wage
and condition agreement with employers
be endorsed, and this waa done. The scale
calls for 115 a week for eight hours for
firemen and 13 60 for helpers. Work out
side of the boiler room is prohibited, except
In cases of emergency. At the present time
the firemen describe their position as in
ttxurtt tut hope to enforce llit-ir demand.
AT THE PLAYHOUSES.
"Mrs. Deerlnu-'s Divorce" at the lloyd.

"Mrs. Deering's Divorce" is one of the
most enjoyable comedies offered us in
such a long time that it Isn't pleasant to
Iry to recall the time when we were given
one as good. Certainly not since "Liberty
Hall." It Is a novel conceit, novel In Its
simplicity; for It doesn't offer a problem.
It contains no scandal and is merely what
might happen. A write has divorced hr
husband and finds that she still loves hlra
and that he loves her, and In the end they
art setting out to be remarried. In the
progress of three acts several people, more
or less essential to the telling of the
story, are Introduced, and each contributes
a little to the unfolding of the delights of
the evening spent watching and listening
to Mrs. Langtry and her splendid company.
No effort at preaching, no moral pointed,
and no tale adorned, the play accomplishes
Its avowed purpose, and sends one away
feeling much better for having had two
and a half hours of the purest of pure
comedy, and utterly unconscious of any
thing but the most pleasant recollections
and reflections.
Mrs. Langtry sets the pace fur the rest
of the company: a quiet, easy ranter, so to
speak, and leads them over an easy road
from a good start to the Inevitable finish,
with such confident grace and self-reliance
as to fully sustain all that has been said
of her In advance of her coming. Omaha
has not had many opportunities to Judge
of her quality as an actress; for she her
self admitted last night in a few neatly
phrased sentences that she had not come
her often enough, nor for a long time, but
Omaha made apparent its appreciation of
the musical voice, the winning laugh, the
unaffected carriage and the delicious man
ner she has of saying things, all so natu
ral and so very effective. Her part does
not call for any extremes of emo'Jon; tha
whole piece Is on the dead level of modern
good breeding, and Is therefore the more
difficult of Interpretation, and the mere
satisfactory when properly rendered. And
Mm. Langtry understands Just how to
present a living, breathing woman of today
on the stage.
Any praise that Is given the star must
be shared in by the excellent organization
that supports her. Each cf the parts Is
separate and distinct a comedy role, and
all so good that each by Itself night be
dealt with to the exhaustion of the .super
latives, and no injustioo done the others
save that they would have to be bracketed1
with the one described. Mr. Fendall didn't
Invent his characters; he has drawn from
life, and with a rare skill, and the results
are most eminently satisfactory. It would
be unfair, too, to dismiss tyils play without
a word for the stage manager. He has
given the piece a charming setting; the
first act, Mrs. Deering's modest drawing
room; the second, the card room at Lord
Granpier's, and the third, .the ante-room
of, a London man-dressmaker, being each
most tastefully arranged. The setting of
the second act Is one of the prettiest seen
in Omaha this season.

charged wires one which the underground
system in the business 'district was Intended
to dissipate, but which exists himI will con
tinue until tho manner of stringing th
iHmps Is altered. Connection villi the con
duits Is made through an opening In thu
sidewalk, the wires running through u
metal sheathing to the top of the poh's
then out over the streot and above lighter
wires carrying smaller currunts.
"Such a condition is positively dangerous
to life and property," says the el- triclau.
"The light wires carry i,00t volt.". A hu
man life can be extinguished by 1 ia volts.
A heavily charged wiru falling on another
wire never meant for carrying sin h a
voltage easily results In llres In biillillns'4
where the lighter wires have connection,
and we have plenty of lnstancis on record
In Omaha where this has happened. A
man using a telephone mlht be killed out
right In such a contingency."
