TJnoiual Demand This Spring for Dwell

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE HOUSES
Deaaewratla Candidates Complain o(
lethargy of City Committee and
eeare Kd Johnston to Man
as rimiitlin,
Dwelling houses are a scarce article In
South Omali. Now that moving time In
com in on, reel entAte dealers and rental
aganta are besieged every day with re
quest! for house. There In scarcely a
house In the city to be rented at the pres
ent time. This condition calls for the
construction of more cottages. One well
known real estate dealer said last even
ing that with the rapid growth of the
city more small homes were needed.
Homes." he ea'.d "that will rant for a
moderate amount, say 115 a month or a
little more. People are coming to South
Omaha almost dally to live and yet cannot
find suitable houses." Another rental agent
tated that the lack of cony cottage was
the cause of a great many people resid
ing In Omaha and even In Council Bluffs.
Office men at the packing houses live In
Omaha and the muffs for the reason that
there Is such a scarcity of dwellings.
The statement has been made that rent
re higher (nan they really ought to be
on account of the scarcity of houses.
Dealers In building material say there
la considerable Inquiry and that with lum
ber at present prices there Is bound to be
an Immense amount of building here this
summer.
Business men generally look forward to
prosperous year.

Candidates on the democralio ticket evi
dently, do not like the manner In wbloh
the campaign Is being managed by the
city central committee. On of the can
didates, who comes next to the mayor on
the ticket, stated yesterday that as far
as the candidates could ascertain the com
mittee had done nothing. It was there
upon agreed that Ed Johnston, once mayor,
should be called upon to straighten out
the affaire of the committee. Mr. Johns
ton found that nothing had been done
bout arrangements for elecUon, aa re
garded carriages, bannera, ate. Mr.
tfVIIIiniuii nan iimug ill,,, at ajirii lent a
and Is now practically In charge of the
damoc ratio headquarters.
P. 8. Parkhurst lias allowed his name
to be used by the democrats as campaign
manager, but lie seldom visits the head
quartern. The work Is left to Andy Mc
Uulre, who claims the title of acting man
ager. Then, again, the democrats have a
split on the School board ticket. Park
hurst did not want to have anything to
do with this end of the ticket and neither
did McOulre. The result waa that a few
days ago the candldatee asked Jim Bulla,
he of councllmAnio and Board of Educa
tion reputation, to take hold of the school
ticket. Bulla Is devoting his time now to
hustling votes for his favorite candidates.
Another democratic candidate atated
that the city central committee waa not do
ing a thinir. alleging that there was no
money In sight. With Kd Johnston at the
Wheel the demoi rats now hope to save a
portion of the ticket.
The amended order lsa y Governor
Mickey in regard to the volution to be
utid In the dipping of cattle will not
change the methods used nt the South
Omaha stock yard. Lime and sulphur
and nlcotln are um-d here, if shippers
want the nicotine cut nut it will be dune.
The understanding here In that purchas
ers of feeder stock will he glad of the
opportunity of having cattle dipped, as
the expense Is small In ronMdt-ration of
1st benefits to be attained. Plana are now
being made to enlarge the dipping plant
t the yards here, In order that when
the rush season commence dealers In
stockers and feeders will not be required
to wait any length of time to have their
cattle dipped.

Fifteen years ago the Bostonlans
brought us "Rohlnhool," ai d again and
again have they come lth the same
offering, and taeli time the theater has
been packed with people who revel In Its
beauties of melody and mirth. Its wealth
of aong and laughter, and rejoice that
they are permitted to do so. Most of us
know the opera as well as Director Stud
ley, or any of the principals. Not a note
comes to us In song or score, but we
knew It wss coming; every word Is ns
familiar to us aa our namea. and yet we
are not tired of It. Why? Becauae It Is
good; It Is the one thing America has con
tributed to the light opera stage that is
worthy a place In the list that we want
to see go down to posterity as repre
sentative of the things w have done. It
has all the features that are desirable in a
light opera, and if it has any faults, six
teen hundred and fifty-four repetitions of
the piece in public hnve failed to disclose
them. It Is a perfect work of Its type.
It matters not that the personnel of the
company changes from season to stason;
the music Is the same, and the senti
ment is there, the melody and the wit,
the love-Hong and the lilting lyric, and
the genuine fun of the whole healthy,
hearty, clean and wholesome, even In the
tlpsyness of the High Sheriff of Notting
ham and the fervor of Friar Tuck, who
leads the roundelay In which he sings
"Oh, dam oh, damsel fair." And all these
things were very well sung last night
Mr. Ratcllff proved himself again a most
acceptable substitute for dear old Barna
bee, singing with taste and carrying on in
a manner qulto funny. Mr. MacDonald

October Ale" was never better rendered.

new prima donna of the company, haa a
remarkably sweet voice, that Is particu

uses It most effectively. It Is not so

quality In a large measure compensates
for the deficiency In quantity. Ml Ccn

Carnegie, in advising some young men, once said, " Buy property near a growing city, all you can afford to carry.
Forget you have it ; buy another as soon as you can, and some day it will make you rich."
This is sound advice. We know, because we have been in the real estate business for thirty-five years, and have
seen ever so many big fortunes made by purchasers of outlying Philadelphia real estate.
A yearly profit of 25 on the money you invest is a fair return; is it not? That's what people who invest in our
suburban real estate offerings are making. Some few are doing much better. One of our investors made 750jT? within
the past year.
If you want to make good big money be one of the world's rich ones we can show you how to do it. Best of all,
you can make handsome profits on your savings without a particle of risk.
Your savings invested in our real estate are as safe as if deposited in the Bank of England.
Give your money a chance to work for you. It will work harder and to better advantage than you yourself can work.
Why Philadelphia Real Estate is
Growing in Value So Very Fast.
Philadelphia it a city of homes. People here are not flat
crazy as In most large cities. Thus, where everyone la living
in individual homes, the city must cover a much larger area and
be adding to that urea much faster than many a larger city, and
no city can grow without having suburbs to grow to. 9000
homes are built each year to satisfy the demand.
It is an actual fact that Philadelphia has 40,000 more houses
than all of Greater New York, and yet New York has nearly three
times the population.
Rvery few years Philadelphia has a natural increase in
population that would make a small city of 100,000 people, and if
you can conceive the pmonnt of space a city of this size takes
up, you can have some idea of the suburbs that must be added
every year to Philadelphia to furnish homes for this rapidly
increasing population.
Thus Philadelphia grows by extending her suburban area.
Property that to-day is considered in the country will in a very
few years be pulsating with city life.
Suburban real estate is in great de.-nand, particularly property
such as we offer where all improvements are made, and where the
building is carefully restricted to prevent saloons, shanties and
other undesirable buildings from proving a nuisance to residents.
Fully 80 of our property is sold to Philadelphia home
builders, and the balance to investors who want to make good
big money with absolute safety. Will you be one of them ?
Men and women with social or business prestige tan earn handsome income by rep
resenting us. We he 'he besf proposition ever offered, and if you want to In
crease your income, better write us to-day with ntrrencts lor further rticulrs.
