Judgod ,tty this standard Omaha has
plonty ot confidence ln l(s own future.
Taking only the last three years, the city
and school district alone have spent nearly
fldO.uOO. on new jmbllu buildings, and have
additional struotures to be erected out of
publlo funds on the boards that within a
year will add another $150,000 to the In
vestmeat of publlo funds in publlo build
ings. J'or one new Are engine house at
Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets to cost
about $X,000, contract is now being awarded,
and active steps are under way for the
preliminaries of a new school building on
the Vinton street site to cost from $i0,0u0
to $75,000.
ew School Buildlaara.
In the three-year pertod named the school
district built one new school house and
started another not yet completed. The
finished building Is the Monmouth Park
school and It cost complete $46.$(6. It is
an eight-room brick building of plain ex
terior. The plans were drawn by Thomas
K. Kimball and Thomas Herd secured the
general contract for $3-',ioo. The heating

veatllating and plumbing plants. Installed
by Bellamy & Hornung, cost $li',6'J7. This
school was put in commission lust No
vember and replaced a framo building. The
location is Thirty-third street and Mere
dith avenue.
The house under construction is the
Beats school, which will replace a collec
tion of small frame buildings, part of which
have been burned, at Forty-eighth and
Walnut streets. It Is nearly finished and
is the first school to bo erected by the
Board of Education without the inter
mediation of a general contractor. Enough
has been dono to make it certain that the
cost will not go abovo 20,0CO. Tho struc
ture is of brick, will have six rooms and
will be heated by stoves. It Is tho cheapest
typo of public school building to be erected
in Omaha within recent years.
Tho Board of Education may dcoide to
start the construction ot the new Vinton
school this year on tho old site at Boule
vard avenue and South Twenty-first street.
It will be a slxteen-room building and will
probably range in cost anywhere from $50,.
000 to $75,000. The district needs a new
school badly as'the old buildings now pro
vided are Insufficient The Board of Edu
cation has Just, completed arrangements
for purchasing land costing $6,000 for the
purpose of having sufficient ground for the
new school. Besides this the board may de
cide to build a combination store building
and shop this year or next. Together with
the land necessary. In case any Is pur
chased, the cost will be from $10,000 to
$16,000.
Some Engine Hooaea.
Of the $95,174 bpent by the city in the last
three years for new buildings, $11,000 was
paid for the lot for the new Are engine
house at Eleventh and Jones streets, and
$?.80ofor the ground on which the new In
solation hospital stands three miles west
of the city. The largest amount spent for
a single building was for the Are engine
station at Eleventh and Jackson streets,
plans by Fisher it Law He, which has just
been occupied,1 and a building renting for
$75 a month at Fourteenth and Harney
streets, vacated. For the new station $31,
6!8.C was spent, although the original con
truct was for but $30,0iu. Extras made up
the difference. The building Is the most
artistic kind of engine houae constructed
In Omaha and has room for engine, hose
wagon, hook-and-ladder truck, and even
additional apparatus.
The other engine houae built was at
Twenty-seventh and Jones streets and re
placed an old frame bam that had been
used for the purpose. It was designed
by Walter T. Mistier and cost, complete,
$J7.9tit. Though nearly aa large as the
other houae It is not nearly so ornamental.
Like tha other, It la made of brick with
sumptuous furnishings and fittings.
v For a building that Is not now used
xccpt by a charity bureau and one or
two flab and meat dealers, the city paid
out $18,t In cold raalu This is the mar.
ket bouse which stands In the middle of
Capitol avenue, Just east of Fourteenth
street. It is only half as big as final
plans contemplate, but It has not proved
a success because ths city administration
will ,not forco tho market . gardeners to
congregate near It and do business only
lu the vicinity. Competition of retail
grocers, commission men and interested
property owners has ruined tho new mar
ket, which was opened with flying colors
and every prospect ot success In 1903. This,
also, is a brick building and Mr. Misncr
drew the plans, r
Isolation Hospital.
The Isolation hospital was hullt by the
city by day labor and costs, as it stands,
Including $2,800 worth of . land, $14,117.48.
It Is not strong on architecture, but it is
a fine isolation hospital and affords better
facilities for caring, "tor those' afflicted
with contagious diseases than do Omaha's
neighboring cities. The building proper
cost $10,157, and the - water aud ' sewer
plants, including windmill, about $1,000. .
A temporary frame fire engine station at
Twenty-fifth and Cuming, built lasc. fall,
cost $2,098. It had to be constructed
because the old brick bouse on Twenty
fourth, near Cuming street, began to cava
In one day and . had to be - abandoned.
Plans have been drawn for a $22,000 house
on the old site by W. T. Mlsner aud bids
have been asked and the contract will
be let next week. The 1 building is to be
completed and ready for service by Sep
tember 3L N. J. HUdlng will be the
builder."
Two other engine houses, one near the
high school and the other In the vicinity
of Twentieth and Lake streets, are In
contemplation, but may not be built this
year. Bonds for their construction for
about $000 apiece were voted by the
people at the last election.
Apart from this the city has no new
publlo buildings In sight, unless the mu
nicipal asphalt plant, wldch is to . be
erected at a cost of - $7,600, may - be ' ac
cepted as such.
KIRKMAN COURTGOES RIGHT ON
Withdrawal of Oue Member Will Kot
Affect States of Proeeedlag
at Fort Hlobrara.
It Is ascertained that after all the with
drawal of Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Scott
from the Klrkmaa court-martial at Fort
Niobrara will not have the allghest effect
upon the court-martial. The rule ot pro
cedure In court-martial provides for a mini
mum of five officers of superior or equal
rank to the accused on trial before ths
court as competent to undertake tho trial.
In the Klrkman case thirteen officers were
detailed for the court, and the withdrawal
of any number of members down to the
minimum will not Invalidate the trial,
hence the withdrawal of Colonel 800 it from
the court will not Interfere with the pro.
ceedlngs.
In the meanwhile Captain Klrkman Is
acting as his own attorney ' in the case,
and from the fact that he baa been fre
quently detailed hitherto as an instructor
In military law at military posts at which
he has served. Is ait Indication that be Is
able to look after his own interests.
The nndliigs In the case will not be made
publlo until aftT the proceedings have

BOORS BY NEBRASKA WOMEN
Honors Awarded the Collections Shown at
Various Expositions,
MRS. BRIGGS HAS VALUABLE .COLLECTION
Many Fine Works Are ow Credited
to the Pens of . Women ' Who
Have Ilgrhtened Home by
Writ log.
Nebraska v women have made ' quite ' a
splash in the pool of literature, according
to the records that are kept by Mrs. Mary
E. Blatohley Brlggs' of Omaha. Mrs.
Brlggs has made a specialty of collecting
the published ' works, of , Nebraska women,
and now has a gathering of. books,. essays
and other evidences of mental- activity ou
part of the "women of the state' that Is
not only creditable, but Is really valuable.
It has been her pleasure to exhibit this
collection at the various expositions of ths
country, beginning . with that of New
Orleans, . when - the showing was - a - rather
meager one, and culminating 'with the
handsome- display made at St. . Louis last
summer, when , a ' bronze medal was
awarded.. A similar honor was won. at
the Columbian exposition, Chicago, - and
real dlatinctton . has been achieved each
time the display has been made.
Mrs. Brlggs whose husband, John 8.
Brlggs, was at one time connected - with
the old Herald, lives in Omaha at S809
Bristol street. She has the keenest In
terest in everything which promotes the
Intellectual life of the . Nebraska women.
At an early day she became Interested. In
the tentative literary ventures of women
In Nebraska. She began to note the pub
lication of such .efforts and to collect them.
Mrs. Brlggs herself was one of, the first
among the Immigrants to .the raw prairie
state to rise above the work of homo
making In ths wilderness and to express
her sentiment of patrol Uam for the new
home in vers.
start of the Collection.
"The thing which I think of most now,"
said Mrs. Brlggs in speaking- of her col
lections, "was the very little we had to
start with. When I first thought of mak
ing such an exhibit I turned everywhere
In the state to find what the women had
done In the way of literature and It was
very little Indeed. That was la 186, st the
time of the Cotton Bemi-centeunlel ex
position at New Orleans. The exhibit
prised but one little book of ray own and
a few pamplets and papers. But we are
growing. At the time I was made a
honorary member of the World's Congress
auxiliary of the Columbian exposition . I
felt the keen necessity of Nebraska women
doing something In tho literary line. I
had misgivings aa to being able to add
much to the list from the Cotton stale
exhibition that would paaa the criticism
en the expert jury and be accepted Into
, the library of the woaten's building. ' My
husband was a printer of the old school
and publisher, and ho and I were omnlvcr
ous readers of newspapers. This coupled
with a continuous residence in Nebraska
since 1805 kept me in touch with w hat was
being done in the state and aided me In
obtaining the desired results.
"We found a number of women engaged
In press work, as reporters, literateurs
aud serial writers, and many amateurs who
promised well. We saw light ahead from
this on and felt Nebraska might bo very
proud. of its. possibilities, with a sufficient
cause ' for pride from tho viewpoint of
small beginnings. Our abiding faith and
confidence in Nebraska has been Justified.
We have worked so hard In this land for Its
achievement along womanly Hues when tho
soli seemed so barren and the work futile,
but tho fact we have won two medals for
literary work shoras advancement."
C'onteat for m Typewriter.
The first collection and exhibition of Ne
braska literature , was made at the State
fair in 1879. This was not by women, but
by tho children." A-typewriter was to be
given- for the best essay - on "Tree Plant
ing' luNebiuska" and "Kindness to Pumb
Animals," and Mrs. Brlggs says there
were over 100 entries. ' The first 'collection
of the literature of the women in Nebraska
was made for, the New Orleans exposition
and, consisted, of twelve entries of pamph
lets and manuscripts. There was also a
display at. tha Interstate exposition In
Omaha during 1886. Mrs. Brlggs made
catalogues of the fine arts displays for that
and for. the Western Art association ex
hibition In 1880. .
It was In Chicago that the writings of
Nebraska women first . received an award.
The parchment goes on to, say that the
exhibit of twenty volumes' Is inraked by
vigor and breadth of thought and Is a
valuable expresHlou of Intellectual growth
and progress in literature and highly cred
itable to the authors, of the ung state
represented. It consists of poetry snd Ac
tion, works-on agriculture and stock.' The
Nebraska women represented In the collec
tlon at that time were Mary Tremaln, Dr.
Rachel Uoyd of the State university, poems
by Jennie Tates Peabody, Margaret It.
Smith and Mary E. Biigga, the. works of
Edla W. Peat tie and Mary A. Rippley, prose
and poetry by Floy E. Armstrong. Mary B.
Buckley, Mme. De Clalue and Marion U.
Buck; Amanda M. Edwards on agriculture
and stock, Action by Julia . Reckmeyer,
Mary K. Maule, Mary Oaylord; transla
tions from tho French and the Spanish by
Antoinette Ogdeu aud Illustrated botanical
Works by Anna A. Morey. . These received
a tins bronze medal, with Columbus on the
face snd the name of Mrs. Brlggs on the
obverse. . '
'Collection at St. . "Louis.
When Prof. ' Edwin ft. Barbour of the
L'nlverslly of Nebraska was 'put In charge
of the Nebraska exhibits of this sort at
St, 1-ouls he wrote to Mrs. . Brlggs asking
her to uiaks another collection of the pub
lications of the works of women. This
collection was rnadn, bringing tho set up to
date. The books have lust been returned
from St. IxhiIs, and Prof. Barbour baa noti
fied, Mrs.. Brlggs the ooilevUou was given a
medal, which will be forwarded in a short
time.
Among the books by Nebraska women ex
hibited at St. Ixiuls Is "Anecdotes of
Omahu." by M. B. Newton. The author
was principal of tho Castellar street school
and the book was dedicated to the Seventh
A class and was Intended as a text book
on local history. Another book la "Christ
inas Stories From tho French und Spanish,"
by Antoinette Ogden. She was a teacher of
French In the Omaha High school and Is
now traveling in Europe. "Life and Labors
