WORK FOR OMAHA BEAUTIFUL
Civio Improvement League Has an Aotire
Campaign Planned.
SUMMER IS TO BE DEVOTED TO EFFORT
Children As I a Unlisted and Cltl
ena la General I'rged to Co
operate with tho Lhu
to Improve Conditions.
Judge Slabaugh, one of the moving spirits
In the Omaha Civic Improvement league. Is
quite enthusiastic over the outlook (or
profitable work the coming summer.
"We have had a fair measure of success
heretofore." said Judge Slabaugh. "but If
the people will take hold of this matter
as they should the good to be done is
Incalculable. This ye- on the suggestion
of some of the children themselves made
to the league, we propose to have, at the
proper time, an exhibition of the products
directly resulting from the work of our lit
tle assistants. And, my word for It, the
showing we can make will surprise many
good people.
"We have already arranged with a local
florist for -60,000 packages, of seeds, to be
sold at 1 cent each. There packages will
contain both flower and vegetable seeds
and will be marked with the name of the
Civio Improvement league. With them will
be Instructions for the proper planting and
care of the flowers and vegetables, and we
should get some splendid results. I . mean
not only In the way of product of the soil,
but also in the way of education.
Beuenta Apparent.
"To my mind the possibilities are un
limited In teaching the children yes, and
the parents order, cleanliness, the benefits
of labor wisely and willingly done, and
from these the greater benefit of good cltl-
. senshlp, pride In their city and their homes,
In the minds of the rising generation.
There is no training quite so good as use
ful example, the seeing of good work per
formed and learning Its meaning. In a re
cent talk to the Ileal Estate exchange I
tried to drive this wider thought of future
civio good home to the minds of the mem
bers. That we will have their willing and
hearty co-operation I have no doubt.
"What we need here as much as any
thing else Is the lively Interest of people
with ideas and of people who have the
time and the money to enable them to
give to the city of their homes the service
that means something beside "the caring
for merely selfish Interest. And I feel
sure that we are going to get this. With
out the general assistance of the people
we can do little. With It we can do any
thing. "Omaha has enlisted for her beautl
flcatlon an army of enthusiastic young folk.
All they need Is encouragement, steady
and untiring, In the work of well doing.
Other Iesgo Help.
"Our local league Is receiving from the
national leagues and from leagues in other
cities ideas and suggestions for tho bet
terment of our home places and our pub
lic places. We aim to bring these out
and put them Into effect to the extent of
our ability. Of the result we have no
doubt. If every person will give what he
can and do what he can to aid the move
ment. This applies with equal force to
men and women."
The annual meeting of the Omaha Civic
Improvement league Is to be held next
Wednesday evening and Judge Slabaugh
said that at that time the plans for the
summet campaign will be formulated and
the start given to what the league hopes
will be a most profitable season's work.
unable to get the old ones into our pos
session for destruction. Kelly & Kelly, by
paying to State Treasurer Mortensen $200
could get the two old bonds and give them
to us, and Mr. Mortensen would then take
the two new ones, similarly numbered, to
replace them. But the thing has now
been hanging flre so long I fear that we
will have to Interest the county attorney
In It. One thing is sure: We are en
titled to those two old bonds, and even if
I hava to suspend my spring gardening,
which is my pet recuperation, we are going
to get them. That ghost must be laid. It
Is a weight on my mind and generally
distressing."

IT WILL KEEP
It is not always necessary
to use a whole bottle of
Scott's Emulsion. What is
left will keep. We have seen
a bottle of our Emulsion
three years old that is still
good. What other prepara
tion of cod liver oil will keep
sweet and permanent for half
that length of time ? Scott's
Emulsion is always l reliable
because it's always absolutely
pure.

NO PLANS FOR THE PARK WORK
Board Will Make Inspection Boon to
Determine on What Will
Be Done.
No campaign for the spring and summer
work on the parks and boulevards has been
mapped out by the Park board, but the
members expect to make a personal inspec
tion of the entire system next week and
draw up a schedule of what Is to be done.
The most Important matter Is the extension
northward of the Central boulevard from
Bemls park, for which three routes have
been proposed by as many Interested com
munities. There Is also some work left to
bo done connecting the boulevard with
Bemls park on the south. It Is possible that
one or more small poks may be created
along the route of the proposed extension,
once the latter Is determined upon. Bemls
park is to be enlarged somewhat on the
southeast corner as soon as condemnation
proceedings for the land are completed.
James P. Connolly, who has the conces
sions at Rlverview park, has ordered the
benches, swings, boats, etc., that he will
furnish for the comfort and amusement of
patrons.

The parsley is perhaps the greenest thing

HIS PURSE NOW ALMOST EMPTY
A Michigan Man Gathers the Bitter
Fruit of Going Into World with
Money and Careless Motions,
After a prolonged debauch of six weeks
during which he says he can remember
little that transpired, George Kimble, of
Ludlngton, Mich., has landed at the police
station In Omaha. Six weeks ago he. had
$3,000 and now his purse contains but $4.
Worse than that, he has made himself
liable to criminal action by passing a
worthless check on William Weatherby.
Kimble says his family Is well-to-do and
he has a beautiful home In Michigan. He
himself has made considerable money by
running hotels at various resorts. About
February 1 he started out to have a good
time with $3,000, a part of the proceeds
of last summer's business. He cannot
remember all the places he has visited, but jury and whlch wa arterward lost, was
Judge Vinsonhaler has denied the peti
tion to admit to probate the two copies
of the alleged last will and testament of
the late Beth F. Winch. After hearing the
testimony and the arguments of counsel
the court held against the admission of the
copies of the will on the following grounds:
Two witnesses to the will, Attorneys
Shoemaker and Wapplch, testified to two
different states of facts. Shoemaker testi
fied that the will he witnessed wa signed
by him in his office In the Bamge building;
also that the will was in lung hand, writ
ten, as he remembered It, by Mr. Wapplch.
The latter testified that he witnessed a will
in Mr. Shoemaker's office in the New
York Life building and that, while it was
In long hand, It was not In his hand
writing. Attorney Elmer Thomas and Alfred Nor
man, Winch's business agent, testified that
the original will, the one which figured
In a cam before the Douglas county grand
not long ago he was in New York City
with $G50. While there he fell out of the
window of his hotel, sustaining but Blight
Injuries. Then he visited St. Louis. Ar
riving in Omaha a few days ago, he reg
istered at the Her Grand. There he met
Weatherby, a friend of his family, and In
exchange for $50 of good money gave him
a worthless check.
Weatherby says he does not wish to
prosecute, as the young man's mother will
return his money. He telegraphed to the
mother of the affairs of her son, and he
expects her to come to Omaha. Kimble
says he has not communicated with his
mother since New Year.
FINK WANTS THE OLD BONDS
Bonnd to Have Kelly A Kelly Make
the Needed Settlement with
Douglas County.
While Messrs. Kelly ft Kelly of Topeka,
Kan., are resting easy, apparently In the
belief that the Douglas county bond mat
ter has been settled, County Treasurer
Fink maintains the settlement Is only
resting. As soon as he has got his gar
den planted and his vegetables nicely
started he Is going after the Topeka firm
again In eurnest.
The Board of County Commissioners has
passed a resolution empowering the county
treasurer to get possession of those famous
two old bonds at all haxards. There are
some little formalities to be Observed, but
they will soon be out of the way, and
then there wJU be need for consultation
down Topeka way. Says Mr. Kink:
"That Is a most Interesting contest,
albeit a rather weary one. We issued
new bonds long ago, the Interest on them
has been paid In advance, practically,
under an agreement, aud yet we seem
JUVENILE COURT LAW HERE
Judge Day Gets Copy from Lincoln
and Is Kow Studying;. Its
Provision.
Judge Day on Friday morning received
from the secretary of state a copy of the
Juvenile court law. He announced his In
tention to put in the day studying its pro
visions, as there were no pressing court
matters on hand.
County Attorney Slabaugh also had some
leisure time and said he was going to de
vote It to a scrutiny of the law, as It af
fected his office. "The showing made In
The Bee of the operation of the law In
St. Paul," said Judge Slabaugh, "ought
to convince anyone that such a court Is
badly needed right here. Every day the
office of the county attorney has Juvenile
cases to handle that cannot in the very
nature of things receive the attention and
consideration they deserve. I anticipate a
vast amount of good from this new law."
Some time this morning the Judges of the
district court are to meet for consideration
of the law. They will at this first session
very likely choose one of their number to
pi entile over the Juvenile court. Judge Day

The court could not reconcile these state
ments, nor was he satisfied that the copies
shown In the case had been properly signed
and attested under the law of Nebraska.
The effect of the decision is to leave the
distribution of the estate exactly a made

rots and the cucumbers have come down
within a week or two to the wholesale
price of $2 a dozen. The spinach Is very
expensive this year and Is worth $1 now
where It was worth only B0 or 75 cents last
year. The rhubarb, although it has come
In off and on during the winter, has been
very scarce for two weeks. It has made
a special effort and is now plentiful. The
rhubarb received up to this time has been
from California, but now It Is the Iowa
hot houses that are doing the turn.
GREEN THINGS ON THE MARKET
Vegetables Do Their Prettiest to
Properly Celebrate St. Patrick's
Day Correctly.
The new green vegetables did what they
could for St. Patrick. The day was
observed by fine display of fresh
herbage along the commission row that Is
very patriotic. .-There was trouble, of
course. It was due to the new carrots.
They Innocently tried to Join In the cele.
brntlon, feeling as new and green as any
body, but they were told to go and play
with the oranges. The lemons and grape
fruit were allowed to occupy their usual
boxes at the performance, as their color
was too pale to be offensive.
The asparagus Is the prettiest and most
charming among the new green things.
The white asparagus, dune up in white
oiled paper and resting on a bed of fine
green moss, came In from California for
the first time this year. Its little head
looked as pretty as a bunch of pansles and
any one with the money would be glad to
pay the Jobbing price of t cents a bunch.
The delicate plant will be here regularly
from now on. The California green aspara
gus got In a day or two earlier In the week
IN LINE WITH THE COURTS
Aealatnnt City Attoney llerdman
Holds that Owner of Walls
Must Protect Them.
The building department has obtained a
ruling from Assistant City Attorney Herd
man that is directly in line with decisions
of the court on the question whether the
owner of a building shall be responsible
for making the walls of the structure
safe when excavations are made In tho
lot alongside of It, or the person causing
the excavations to be made. The opinion
of the assistant attorney Is In favor of the
former answer. The question has been
raised In a number of cases recently, where
the department has Insisted upon the
owners of new buildings making the
foundation sufficiently deep and strong
to guard against possible future ex
cavations for other buildings on property
adjoining. Mr. llerdman, after discussing
the matter, says:
"I am clearly of the opinion that under
the provisions of the ordinance as quoted,
the duty of securing the walls Is upon the
owner of the walls, and that In ,the dis
charge of such duty he has a right to
enter upon the premises of the other
party.
'This rule Is consistent with Justice. A
man has a right to do with his own prop
erty what he pleases. He owns from the
center of the earth upward to the skies
and therefore he has a right to excavate
his lot If he sees fit and his right to so
excavate cannot be denied or Interfered
with by an adjacent owner, who may
happen to erect on his premises adjoining
building, which may be affected by such
excavation. In other words, each owner
Is charged with the duty of protecting
his own property. The ordinance, how
ever, gives the owner of the building the
additional right of entering upon the
premises of the other for the purpose of
securing his walls.
