Mercer of a strip of land liK te.-t i Vide tlirouKh Mercer park for tlio contin uation of the Centre! boulevard westward and northward from liemls park Is not al toaether what could lie culled u good deal for the city. It Ims been found that there Is more than $Sio special Improvement taxes, Including Interest, standing agalnttt Mercer park, as th! tract east of the doc tor's rcsidenco property at Forty-first and Cuming street U known. "Tly taking the strip, which will run along the north side of Cuming street almost the whole distance of Mercer park, the city will get an opportunity to no down In Its pocket for flvo-glxtha of these taxes," says Mr. Herdman. "Deficiencies to Just this extent will be created In the Improvement funds for paving and sewers against which bonds have been lnsue& to pay for the work. In my opinion the proioslilon Is anything but one tho park board or the city should accept and I will advise agalnxt It If I get the opportunity." Proposed Donation to City. Dr. Mercer at llrst proponed to tho board a. boulevard route west from Ucmls park, which would take In much of his property and a largo lagoon or lake, which In Its present condition Is offensive to the nclgh borhoed, hour tho Unit IJno track and sauth of Cuming street. This route was rejected by the board, although tho doctor proposed to donate a great deal of prop erty, Including thu In lie. Ho then ap peared with a proposition for tho boule vard to go through Mercer park before cutting Into Lufayctte avenuo and starting In a northerly direction. Tho scheme was favored by tho engineering department, who saw In tt the easiest way to surmount grades and topographical difficulties In striking off for the north and northwest. Tho Mercer plan was to 'run the boule vard southwesterly from' Lincoln avenue and In short fit for nothing but "mosquitoes, hull trogo and malaria" Not long ago a bov drowned In the place and It Is Said ti have caused several cases of typhoid. The matter will come before the council tonight. BOARD OF REVIEW Ts SUED Booth Omaha Body Is Made Defend ant for Malttplylnsr Assess, ment ly Ten.

City Clerk Tbinki Somebody Eu Been Indiscreet in Office Matter. ILER'S RAILWAY EXCHANGE IS BLOCKED Sees Omaha Promoter at Albany and Selp Dundy at Sew York One of (.otham'a Ilia- Men. City Clerk Elhourn returned home from New York Monday morning, cutting short visits to Baltimore, Philadelphia and other big towns, because he got word that his office was getting in the newspapers alto gether too much while he had his hand olt the throttle. "What are you going to do about the Slmonson-Schenck case?" he was asked at the same time by three reporters. "Nothing for a few days," replied the city clerk. "I am going to take my time and make a careful investigation and see that Justice Is done all around. It seems to mc that some persons have been very Indis creet." This is all he would say about the dis missing of Miss Schenck for eleven yea.- Journal clerk In the office by Deputy Clerk Slmonson upon charges of Insubordination. Fresh from the pane and safe east, the city clerk was not disposed to turn on the fuel gas any hnrder and affairs In his offlco were remarkably quiet. Among the news Items brought back by Elbourn from the east Is one to the effect j that Peter E. Iler's gigantic railway ex change building at Thirteenth and Farnam streets Is not going up Just now. He met Mr. ller at Albany and the latter informed him that E. H. Harrlman, the railroad king, had skipped away to Europe before he could get to him. Mr. Her needs Harrl man's assistance In the exchange building proposition, Inasmuch as It Is desired to get the Union Pacific headquarters under this new roof. Mr. Harrlman will not get back until November, so negotiations are off until that time. Visits Sclp Dundy. Accompanied by Charles Karbach, who returned with him, tho city clerk sat through a performance at Sclp Dundy's hippodrome and says he has enjoyed few things better In his life. "Seats are sold out a week ahead," says Elbourn. "Dundy Is recognised as the pres ent sensation of the theatrical world, and he undoubtedly has made a great success In a great enterprise. Nothing like the Hippodrome has ever been seen before. They sink the stHge and flood It with water so deep that a horse has to swim to get across. Some of the greatest acts, to my mind, were those embracing military spec tacles, the like of which has never been seen before in any exhibition. I ran down to the other Dundy-Thompson enterprise, Luna Park, also, and this too Is a mighty fine thing. Had a chat with Sclp, who Is now one of the big men of New Y'ork. "Didn't see Paul Morton. The Equitable deal Is a little too bad for me to mix up with, but I guess If anyone can straighten It out a Nebraskan can." Mrs. Elbourn Joined her husband at Buf falo and the two came home together. the Republican valley. The corn stand above knee hlKh and the other crops are booming, especially the alfalfa, which In 1 the laM two years nas neen mastng Franklin cmintv famous. He says crops are far in advanc of what they are here. This Is due to a warmer loam. At Lincoln and some distance west the low grounds are a little too wet at prfsent He says there Is no longer any talk of Irrigating the Republican valley. HENNINGS LIKES THE BID City Trensnrer Joys Ilonds Are Profitably Sold to the Cleve land Firm. A bid that was higher than the extremely good one made for a $l0,WO re-Issue a short time ago was received by the city yester day afternoon for an Issue of ISO,!") paving renewal bonds to bear semi-annual Interest at 4 per cent and to run twenty years. V. J. Hayes & Sons of Cleveland got the bonds with a bid of J2.S3S. the Union Na tional bank of Omaha being the only local bidder. Assuming that the city, following out a policy recently adopted, would retire as many bonds as the premium covered Hayes & Sons put in a bid of $2,724 for 148.000 or forty-eight of the bonds and 2.t18 for forty-seven of them. The bid for forty-eight bonds was accepted, meaning that the city will hereafter pay out only $1,920 Interest annually for JlS.tiOO of 4 per cent bonds, whereas It has paid $2,500 an nually for a $50,000 obligation. Besides this nearly $600 wilt be added to the sinking fund, owing to the demand that Omaha bonds have found. The bids were as follows: W. J. Hayes & Sons Cleveland.'. Kountze Brothers.

United States soldiers who served In Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease Is and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cu ban diarrhoea Is almost as severe and dan gerous as a mild attack of cholera. There Is one remedy, however, that can always be depended upon, as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Ja cobs of Houston, Tex. : "I hereby certify that Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Plarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors, but they did hlnwio good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, aa our neighbors will testify. I thank Qod for so valuable a medicine"!"
