PLENTY OF WORK FOR LABORING CLASSES tire Iteok Eiokuge Be Closed Vostir, Thoaak stoelc Received . a tkat Day Will Be Yarded mui Cared For. Builders and dsalers In building material are exceedingly busy these days. Those who handle building material say that they have about all they can de to fill orders and that their teams are kept on the go trom morning until night. A dealer In ma terial said last night; "There Is more go ing on In a small way In the matter of re pairs than for a number of years. It seems as If every one was fixing up a little. Then there Is the permanent sidewalk craze. Property ownors In all portions of the city are hurrying to get permanent walks laid. Brick and oement are the favorite walks, very little natural stone being used." There has been a scarcity of building brick and this has held back some of the work, but now that brlok Is coming In there la a big demand for lime, sand, etc large number of small cottages are being built all over the city, as well as a num ber of substantial brlok structures. The contract has been let fo the Riches $11,000 block oa Twenty-fourth street near O and excavating for the Bergqulat block at fwenty-fourth and ! streets Is nearly com pleted. The buildings being erected at Twenty-sixth and O streets are progressing well and will doubtlera be completed by the time the viaduct Is open. With the building of the O street viaduct and the proposed Burlington viaduct at Thirty-alxth street, the paving of Railroad avenue, O street and Missouri avenue there promises to be j.lenty of work in South Omaha this summer. Merchants look for a picking up in trade after July 4. The laying of double street car tracks along Missouri avenue and South Twenty fourth street and Railroad avenue to the county line will also give employment to a large number of men. Then there la the library building and the new high school building. Delay In Hair - Food Falling hair, thin hair, gray hair starved hair. You can stop starvation with proper food.

Mrs. J. H. Wsrcrura. Sumner. Miss. HM. AllsnuUU. 4. C. AYM CO., UrntU, securing proper material has put the work on both of these buildings 'back some, but the contractors are doing the best they can. Testerday the finishing touohes were placed on. the tile roofing at the library. Work on the Interior of this building Is progressing slowly, but Is being done in a very satis factory manner. i On both of these buildings all the men that can be ' handled to advantage are given work. The building of the mammoth smokestack at Armour's will give employment to quite a number of men, while the repairs now going on at Cudahy's and the Omaha pack ing plants keep extra men at work. - Farewell Itntos laaday.

Last evening the Ferris StocK company put on for the last half of ths current week one of Its last season's successes, ."The Belle of Richmond." This Is a very pretty play of life in the south in the present day, although It might easily be located, save for the scenlo effects. In any community. The southern atmosphere Jends sn inde scribable beauty to tne settings, though, and there. is a pecull.irly chivalrous alti tude of the men toward the women and to ward each other that Is gained more In connection with the southern charscter than elsewhere. This is really the life of the play, and la made much of, both in ths setting and the acting of the piece. Mr. H. M. Carpenter, the new leading man of the company, made his first ap pearance last night and made a decidedly good impression. He has a peculiar rols In ths part of Gerald Gordon, but does it trelL Mr. Moran, the new comedian, also msds a good Impression in his part' Mr. Owsn has a villain of .little different type to present In this and gives It with his usual cars. Mr. Sullivan, who Is still with ths company, appeared as Charles Lee, and had some very good scenea Mr. Ray mond's Colonel Lee is an sxoellent charac ter study. Miss Pavey, Miss Hill and Miss Davis were charming as ths three southern girls around whom -the love scenes In the play revolve, and Miss Carmontelle showed her adaptability by blacking np and making a capital Mos Moss, the old negro servant of the Mason family. A large audience saw ths play last night and enjoyed It greatly, being very liberal with Its applause. Tho bill will continue until after tho matinee on Sunday. CHANCE FOR CITY COUNCIL Taxpayer taaseets that North Six taeath Street Bo Glvea Boas Atteatlosu OMAHA. June S.-To the Editor ef Ths Bee: In Wednesday evening's Bee of June C there was an article entitled. "Plan to Park Joslyn Place." Has - not our city enough boulevards without creating mors? Are not the taxpayers taxed, enough? They have all they can do; a great many paying monthly on their homes, ana their regular taxes at a robber's rate this year, wlthost mors boulevards. It is only people of mesne who can enjoy them and drive through them, while tho poor ones are taxed for them. And thero Is one thing I never could see the Justice of: that la peo- pis living on boulevards are exempt from paying paving or special taxes or for sprinkling, while their neighbors for so many blocks, north, soutn, sast and, west, are taxed for boulevards and have not 1 cent's worth of benefit from them. Would It not be well If our city fathers planned to have North Sixteenth street paved with some suitable and lasting paving material? Why not compel the property owners on Sixteenth street to fix It? When a poor man owns a lot and paving Is ordered he is not asked If he wants It done. Sixteenth street Is a blot snd a dis grace to Omaha government. The council had better let spits work alone and turn Its attention to something better and nobler. On lower Farnam street salt was wsated ten barrels of It-end how did ths weeds hurt any one? Money squandered tor nothing. Lota of tax money coming In, so it can bs salted down on Farnam street But there can be breakdowns and break bones on North Sixteenth street in the boles; it does not matter. Sixteenth street can be compared to a deserted village, or better still, ths "sand hills." Let some of our lawmakers and rulers of Omaha walk on North Sixteenth street; go north as far as Cuming on a windy day, and they will think they are In the "bad lands and sand hills." If only In the moving pictures at ths St Louts exposition there could be shown North Sixteenth street the holes, little boys playing with boats in them here end there, a dog rolling in and trying to swim or when the dust Is blowing. Thers has been no sprinkling all summer on the street only when the good Lord above sends a rain; and how good It always feols to have the dust settled. And it hurts all ths dealers, as there Is no driving, only In cases of necessity, such ss the ice and milk men, and they have to drive on ths tracks. What is Omaha coming td? Have they no regard for thoss doing business on Six teenth street? Have the tenants of stores, whd pay their rent nothing no business going on at all? How can they meet their expenses unless the street Is paved prop erly, so people can drive on It and do busi ness and earn bread and butter? It is dis couraging. If a petition was handed around all doing business on North Sixteenth street would surely sign It It Is sn out rags on all of them. Will not you please help all you can with your valuable paper toward ths redemption of Sixteenth street and you will confer a great fevor on ths residents there? a TAXPAYER. hole in the bank's reserve fund, while the hole had been growing deeper and broader. In his confession of ths shortage Colonel Plain attributed hjp downfall to unfor tunate speculation. His trouble began, be said, seven years ago. The first money he took was to pay for land at Sterling, Colo. Three years ago his speculations began. He lost tlO.000 in a oorn deal. This was followed by a loss of 818,000 In the North ern Pacific corner. Speculation In the United States Steel stock, he sal, was his final undoing. "Steel looked like a good thing," be said. "I bought It at 40 cents. It went down to 11. I guess I lost 830,000 thers." COLORADO READY FOR SEA How Armored Cralser Will Make Its Trial Bis On" Delaware Coast.

UL, July L Several hundred people todsy bealeged the doors of ths German-American bank, the cashier of which by his own confession Is short 190,000 In his aocounts. For an hour there was no diminution of ths crowd. Huge stscks of gold, stiver and cur rency were piled on the counters. A num ber of prominent cltlxens entered the bank during the rush and made largo deposits. In three hours ths run was apparently over. The directors said that 832,744 had been withdrawn.

It Is rumored that opera tions at several other mines will cease in a few days. The reason for closing down has not been made public Bulkley Wells, a manager of the Smuggler-Union, gave out tho following state ment tonigbt: " By order of the directors, operations of the Smuggler property will be discon tinued July- 1. This action is mads neces sary by the Inability of the management to procure a sufficient force of thoroughly competent miners to man ths mines fully. The fear of a repetition of the riots and murderous assaults upon nonunion men perpertrated by members of the local union during the past three years and ths dread inspired by such dastardly crimes as the explosion at ths Vindicator mine and at Independence station in the Cripple Creels district hrfve suffloed to deter from return Ing to the Telluride district most of tho miners who were formerly here employed and new men from entering the district- Prior to the developments In Colorado of miners of the type fostered by the Western federation of Miners, murderous attacks and explosions had no place In the mine industry of the state. And It la a fact that in every Instance nonunion men have been the only sufferers. As far as the Tellurite district is concerned the struggle against the rule or ruin policy of the western Fed eration of Mlnera has been won. ' It only remains for the people to de clare, at the election that the principle of socialism, which means anarchy, shall no longer attempt jjaralyslng the Industries of the state and That the essentially Amer ican right of a man to work when, where and for what wages bo will, shall not bo denied him by any labor organisation. If the people so record themselves, tho Smuggler-Union will resume operation. If tboy do not, the Smuggler-Union w!4 remain closed indefinitely.
