The city of South Omaha has g'Me so
long with fw pavod streets that rtce the
paving of Railroad avenue there is a W
Ttianrt from Ml niancrs for mjre paving.
The city authorities have dec fled to pave
Missouri avenue. Ir'iln Thirteenth to Twenty-fourth
"strata, ant bids for this work
will be opened (n Monday night by the
council. Now or,m 'mo property own
er on West l. street KtiA wunt that etreet
psved This trt Is paved a far as
Thirty-third. What Is want now la a
little griding and tire paving of the street
as far wst as the east approach to the
liurlington Vladwt. While Went L street,
from Thirty-third to Thirty-alxth. Is sixty
feet In width. It Is thought that a pave
ment tlilrtj"-Hlx feet In width will answer
all purpnt!. There will be little grading
needed If a pavement la laid. The distance
ftm the west line of Thirty-third street
b) the taut approach of the Birllngton
viaduct Is l,2tfl fet. The stock yards com
pany has already paved about 130 feet of
the roadway, and this will reduce the
number of feet to be pavml to about 11.0CO.
The estimated cost Is $9,000. On the south
Me of this street, from Thirty-tldrd to
Thlrty-Flxth, the Union Stock Yards com
pany owns all of the property. On the
north side the property Is cut up Into lots.
It Is understood the owners of these lots
are willing to sign a petition at once for
the paving. With the signatures of the
north sld property owners and that of
t?e general manager of the stock yards
company there will be no difficulty about
carrying out this movement. With the
.-ompletion of the Burlington viaduct It Is
expected travel on Wet L. street will be
greatly Increased. Paving is needed and
If present plans are carried out the work
wlU be done this year.
Stock Receipts Increasing.
Receipts of live stock at the yards here
5-esterday surprised the employes of the
company and the commission deulers. The
number of cars at 3 o'clock was 409. On
account of the big receipts, which were en
tirely unexpected, the buyers took advan
tage and prices dropped. The five days'
receipts were about G,000t below the same
days last week and, less than half as heavy
as the same wnek a year ngo. Today the
buyers do not. look for much of a mar
ket, but somo of them said last night that
they would not be surprised if good re
celpts were marked on the board.
Hepreseat-stlve Fltle Here.
Frank J. Kltle, member of the legislature
from Douglas county, spent a few hours
in the city yestcrduy. Mr. Fltle had some
buslnesn at the city offices and he put In

erty owners about the sewer proposition.

Mr.' Fltle had nothing to any and he would
not. predict the outcome of the bills now
pending before the Nebiv.sk legislature.

AFFAIRS OF THE WOOD FAMILY
Domestic Relations of Ill-Assorted
Pair Partially Explained la
Police Court.
Oscar and Mary Wood, husband and wife,
were the head-liners In police court. Wood
was arrested Thursday night on the charge
of being drunk and abusing hla family, and
faced the music in police court like a
Trojan, Mrr. Wood, complaining witness,
furnished the music, and so loud did her
accompaniment become that she was
warned by the court to be calm and col
lected, le.it she might place herself In
contempt of court. She had the last word
as she left the court room.
Tho Wood family live In room No. 67,
Martin fiats. The wife testified that she
has been living on one meal a day, while
her lord and master gets drunk every day.
This, she maintained, Is not the ideal mar
ried life. When the Judge asked Wood if
he had been drunk, the man Bald he had
not been.
"He was drunk," replied the woman, as
she removed her bonnet and pushed back
her front hair.
"She was drunk," Interposed Wood.
"You are a liar," declared the woman.
"You'll be In contempt of court If you
are not careful," said Acting Prosecutor
Ellick.
"And little do I cate If I do. I would
then get something to eat," rejoined Mrs.
Wood, with a look that almost withered
the trembling prisoner.
"Give him the limit," continued the wife.
The case has been continued until Satur
day morning so that additional evidence
may be introduced by the arresting officers.

Announcements ojf the Theaters.
Miss Helen Grantly's engagement at the
Boyd theater will conclude with two per
formances today of "Her Lord and Mas
ter," afternoon and evening. The next at
traction at tho Boyd will be Andrew Mack,
the popular singing Irish comedian, in
his newest comedy, "The Way to Ken
mare." In this Mr. Mack has a much bet
ter opportunity for his talent than in any
thing he has yet offered the public. He
will be here on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and a special matinee on Wednes
day of next week.
After the matinee performance Saturday
Miss Grantly will hold a reception on the
stage for her Omaha friends.
Commencing Sunday matinee for the
week at the Orpheum the new bill, like
last week, promises to stimulate the theater-going
habit In even the blase. The
Barrows-Lancaster company, presenting
their latest success, a new one-act play,
entitled "When Ooorglo, Was Eighteen,"
will be the principal card. The story has
Its phases of love and humor, for a play
without the effervescent humor of good
natured James Barrows and a love scene
for John L. Lancaster would scarcely
prove satisfactory in their hands, for they
have been pleasingly associated with both
these elements. The remainder of the pro
gram embraces: Harry Earle, Godfrey and
Miss Veta Henderson, offering the quaint
conceit, "A Daughter of the Gods;" the
musical Avalon, xylophonlst; J. Roger
West and Ida Van Slelen in "The College
Gymnasium;" Harry V. Fitzgerald, light
ning change artist; J. W. Kurtis and dogs,
and new klnodrome.
Yae mm a Drawing; Card.
Ysaye, the great violinist, who will ap
pear at the Auditorium on next Thursday
evening, under the auspices of the Omaha
Concert promoters, has the most wonderful
record on drawing audiences of any artist
or company or performance, or. In fact,
any clans of entertainment. Up to date
he has played about forty performances In
America, appearing In the largest cities and
also some of the smaller ones. This ar
tist's price exceeds that of even a grand
opera prima donna, and the enormous
guarantees must be forthcoming Irrespec
tive of the else of the city; but, strange to
relate, he appeared In little Norwich, Conn.,
recently and more than 600 people attended
his concert. Norwich has a population of
25,000. One out of every forty-two of the
population attended the performance. The
receipts were between $l,3u0 and 11,400 for
this concert, and a few of the public spir
ited men made up the balance of the guar
antee. This wlU be Ysaye's only appear
ance In Omaha or the state during this
season.

FIRE DRILL IN BIG BUILDINGS
Preparation of Employe! and Tenants for
Possible Conflagration.
UNION PACIFIC SETS THE PACE FOR OMAHA
Overland Headquarters Thoroughly
Organised and Equipped for the
Systematic Protection of
Life aad Property.
Blulding Inspector Wlthnell warmly com
mends a system of fire drills and Instruc
tion designed to protect life and property
Just Inaugurated In the Union Pacific head
quarters building. In connection with the
rules and regulations which have Just been
promulgated, tho inspector states that
hardly a factory, commission or warehouse,
factory building or department or other
store has devoted attention to anything of
the kind.
"It is a grave mistake for the persons
controlling large buildings where many are
employed to neglect these precautions," ho
ays. 'Terscnally, I don't know of a
single building except the Union Pacific
headquarters where any attempt is made to
anticipate fire and to prepare for the rapid
exit of the Inmates and prompt battling of
the flames. Such an arrangement Is badly
needed in office buildings, wholesale houses,
factories and dopartment stores. Under
the Union Pacific system every person U
supposed to know Just where to go to got
out without crowding the stairways and lire
escapes, while other are detailed to use the
hose and fire extinguishers at hand. In
ordjer to destroy the trouble, If It Is possi
ble. I cannot praise the forethought and
wisdom of the Union Pacific people too
highly, but I wish that other large com
panies and corporations In Omaha would
follow their example."
Union Pavlne ltestulatlona.'
Three cards have been printed by the
Union Pacific to be posted about tho build
ing. They instruct all concerned In case of
fire to first notify the operator In the build
ing exchange, telling where the fire is and
describing it, the operator to Immediately
transmit the information to the city fire
department. The operator then proceeds oa
quickly as possible to notify every depart
ment of the fire, beginning on the top floor
and working down.
Fire precautions are placed entirely In the
hands of tho superintendent of the building,
who reports to Chief Engineer Berry. The
superintendent must see that all apparatus,
Including fire ercapes. Is in good working
order and actuary tested at least once I
month. He Is to Instruct subordinate em
ployes and all persons employed in the
building how to use tho fire apparatus, giv
ing genuine demonstrations at the time,
and he Is made responsible for' the acquire
ment of this knowledge by all employes.
Once a month there must be a fire drill
wherein the whole process must be worked
out exactly as If there were a fire, water
being turned on and the escnpes being used
In each room the way to the window hav
ing a fire escape must be left clear and
every departmental head must have an un
derstandlng with the superintendent of tho
building doncernlng the egress of the em
ployes under him. In this way congestion
of stairways and escapes .may be avoided,
It is thought.
The effect of the new Instructions Is to
enable everyone in ,the .building to know
Just what to do In case of peril and not
only avoid panic nnd save his life, but to
assist in saving property and doing every
thing possible to extinguish the fire. New
fire squads from tmong the employes are
selected each month so that all may be
educated to a degree of efficiency.
NEW FIELD FOR OMAHA BONDS
Ievr fork May fermlt Its Savings
Banks to Bny Gate City 8e.
curltles Hereafter.
News of the introduction of a bill at Al
bany with the approval of Governor Hlg
glns, which, if it becomes a law, will make
Omaha, Kansas City, Oakland and San
Francisco bonds legal Investments for New
York state savings banks, has been re
ceived with great pleasure by Omaha peo
ple In the city hall and out of l who have
to do with the financing of the city expense
account. The passage of the bill Is eagerly
awaited and it is believed the measure will
become a law. The result quite probably
will make it possible for the city to get its
bonds out at a lower rate of Interest.
City Treasurer Hennlngs and Tax Com
missioner Fleming were delighted at what
they consider a recognition of the city's
financial standing. They believe the admis
sion of Omaha bonds to New York state
will almost double the field for the city
securities.
The Omaha bonds at present outstanding
aggregate J6,E88,400. Of this amount $4,848,-
000 are general bonds and the remainder
special bonds. J. L, Brandeis & Sons have
taken the last three Issues and Frank N.
Clarke, manager of the bank, when asked
regarding the effect of the bill If it should
become a faw, said:
"It will be a big thing for Omaha to get
Its bonds Into New York state. New York
state, with Its $600,000,000 of savings bank
deposits, would double the field for Omaha
securities. The situation is this: The east
ern states restrict the character of the
bonds which savings banks may buy as
legal assets. In New England, Connecticut.
Maine and Vermont have admitted Omaha
bonds as proper securities for such banks.
Up to the present they have not been ad
mitted In New York, which has the largest:
savings bank business in the country. If
the bill passes . tny greatly widen
the market for our bonds. Connecticut Is
at present the largest purchaser and holder
of Omaha bonds and something like fifty
banks there have a larger or smaller block
of them. If we get into New York the city
will be able to sell lower Interest bonds."
Mr. Clarke Is confident the bill will pass
the New York law-making bodies, because
his bank has been In receipt of letters for
some days past from bankers In the Empire
state asking for large blocks of bonds. It la
unlikely they would offer to purchase these
unless they were very sure they were to be
made legal Investments for their banks.

works bonds, the bill being for the purpose
of assisting In straightening out the Sioux
Falls water works tangle, and a Joint reso
lution for a constitutional amendment to

eastern hospital for the Insane at Water
town was the only matter which called out
debate, Dillon of Yankton leading tho op
position, In which he was supported by
Casslll. Nelll, Hutchinson, Lawson and
