You won't see any handsomer coats any

The South Omaha Commercial club In
sessloS Thursday noon spent the hour al
lotted to the meeting In discussing the
project of a new hotel. A proposition by
Miss McCarthy of Omaha offering to lease
a hotel of fifty rooms and guarantee good
service, provided a ten-year contract In a
modern building could be secured, was con-
ldertd. The club will interest Itself In
seeking property owners who may be will
ing to build under such a proposition. It
is understood that a number of property
owners have offered to build to suite the
needs of a good tenant, no the proposition
mry come to an early realization. The
need of a first-class hotel in South Omaha
is imperative and many of the business
men of the city would be willing to assist
by taking shares In the building. The club
ppolnted a committee to investigate the
proposition more fully and to meet pros
pective property owners who might be In
terested. This committee consisted of E.
B. Brown, W. B. Cheek and M. Eckman.
The club instructed the secretary to dis
pose of the billiard table belonging to the
club rooms, as It appeared that the mem
bers made little use of It. An arrangement
s to be tried so that a weekly lunch may
be served In the club rooms that the
members may meet and conduct their busi
ness with no delay or hindrance. It is
agreed that in the club rooms a proposi
tion might be well discussed while the
members are taking their lunch and by the
time the short hour was over all buslqess
could be finished.
Interarhau Lino Financed.
An item of great interest to the club and
to the city was mentioned by Mr. McGill
to the effect that St. Louis capital had been
Interested in the Lincoln-Beatrice & Hast
ings Interurban line and that the present
Ralston line would be financed and com
pleted shortly. It was declared by the
same Informant that $1,000,000 had been
promised for the completion of the line.
L. M. Lord, the cashier of 'the Live Stock
National bank, said he had been consulted
regarding the feasibility of the proposed
Interurban line and had assured his inter
viewer that the milk hauling business alone
would pay all the running expenses of the
road. His questioner was one of the par
ties who will, it is believed, finance the
proposed road.
Depot for Barllnaton.
A general depot and passenger station for
the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy railroad
was one of the good things announced at
the club meeting which will shortly be a
reality. The Burlington agreed to construct
a station at Thirty-sixth and L streets as
soon as the street car line was extended to
that point. The general passenger agent
oi the uurnngton announced privately a
few days ago that the appropriation for
the depot had been included in the list of
stations to be constructed this year, but
that by some means it had been set aside
temporarily. He said that an effort would
be madC to have the- apportionment re
Instated and the station constructed ai
once. This station will be erected at an
approximate cost of $10,000. The conven
lence of the new car line through the Union
Stock Yards was never more apparent than
at present. With an attractive passenger
station at the end of the line much travel
and waste of time will be saved.
Dinner Parties at Country Clob.
The lowering weather of last evening
made the dinner parties rather slender at
the South Omaha Country club; but a
number were held in spite of the threaten
Ing sky. Among those who entertained
were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Towl. whose
guests were Misses Shannon, Gladys Sul
livan and Mr, Joseph Peschek, T. J. O-
Nell entertained a party of four, and L.
M. Lord entertained a party of two.
Special Meeting of Board.
The South Omaha Board of Fire and Po
lice commissioners beld a special meeting
yesterday afternoon to hear charges pre
ferred by Myer M. Lipovskl against Of
ficer Glllln. Lipovskl charged that he had
been falsely arrested and. humiliated by the
officer who bad also used force and via.
lence against him. The evidence showed
that Lipovskl had a dog which wore no
tag and that Lipovskl got Into an alter
cation with the dog catcher over the mat
ter in the presence of the officer, who
told htm he had to secure a dog tag. This
Lipovskl declared be would not do and de
fled the officer to arrest him. The officer
became provoked and some words ensued,
The family of Lipovskl came to his aid
and another officer came up.l In the mean
time Glllln told Lipovskl he Was under ar
rest and ended by hauling bis prisoner
throuch the open streets to Jail. On this
action Lipovskl based his action to have
Glllln punished at the hands of the board.
The board took the matter under advise
ment and will report, later.

Birdie Uses Rasor Well.
Birdie Aldrlch cut James Smith with a
rasor shortly after noon yesterday in the
Wollsteln building at 2618 N street. James
Smith is a rather well developed specimen
of African humanity and has been paying
court to Birdie Aldrlch's sister until a
day or two ago he became enraged at his
lady love and la aald to have abused her
and to have cut up all the Sunday clothes
which were the pride of the girl's heart.
Not content, he pursued her to the home of
Birdie Aldrlch where, according to the lat
ter, he began an assault on the girl, which
enraged the said Blrdte until she secured
her handy and effective rasor and cut
Smith's back from the top of the right
shoulder to his left hip. She declared
afterward that Smith was trying at the
same time to use his own rssor. Both
were arrested.
ITvlck-Poaplall Match Off.

Poondsaaater Disappears.
John Zukowskl the South Omaha pound
master, has disappesred from the public
service at least and has left about $100 In
the dog fund unused. This disappearance Is
explained by the belief that the pound
master met with so much grief in carrying
out his official duties that he gave up in
despair. He not only suffered the bites of
the enraged canines, but seversl times he
was roughly handled by Irritated residents, was Miss Nettle Waller of Louisville.

Gaynor Still
Progressing
Gallagher Spends Host of His Time
Praying for Victim's Kecovery
Called Irresponsible.
NEW TORK. Aug. la Nothing has de
veloped to Indicate that Mayor Gaynor
is not making dally progress toward re
covery.', Only two bulletins were issued by
his physicians today the first at 8:30
o'clock this morning, the second at 1:30
o'clock tonight Both were brief and op
timistic.
The mayor pobably will be allowed to sit
up again tomorrow and It is also probable
that Ruth and Marian, the youngest of
the Gaynor children, will be allowed to
see their father.
Counsel for James J. Gallagher, the dis
charged city employe, who shot Mayor
Gaynor a week ago last Tuesday, aald to
night that Dr. John Rellly, who has been
retained by the Knights, of Columbus, of

doctor found that there is a depression of
the skull which would seem to involve a
history of Injury.
The prisoner had an exaggerated Idea of
his own Importance and was Irresponsive.
Although, uauagner, when arrested.
seemed to exult in his deed, his wardens
now say he spends much of his time pray
lng for Mayor Gaynors recovery.
