II' rdmnn, the propo d donation by lr.
D. 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.

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.

This Is due to a warmer loam. At Lincoln

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:

FOUR TRY TO MAKE HARVARD
Graduates of Omaha High School
Take Examinations for Higher
Education.
Examinations for entrance to Harvard
university held this week at the public
library by Charles S. Elgutter have brought
forth four young men graduated by the
Omaha High school to stand the tests.
They are:. Risley Q. Haines, Arthur F.
Felker, Richard W. Hall and Arthur C.
Potter. Miss Anna Bourke will undergo
the examination for Radcliffe college,
which Is given by Miss Idella L. Hamlin.
The number of Harvard candidates Is
larger than ever before.
Cuban Diarrhoea.
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"!"
