IHC'III l'AI PLANS KIIKCTINU
THRKK STORY 111'II.IMMi.
Architect Victor P. Heck Is now
drawing preliminary plans for n three
story building to bo erected on Front
street by Rlchl Ugal nt a cost exceed
ing $50,000. Itlchl owns the building
which he occupies as well as tho old
Nebraska House on the east. The
latter, which has a frontage of twenty
six feet will bo torn down and the
present brick building incorporated in
a threo-story building that will have
a forty-eight foot front and run back
132 foot to tho alley. The lowor floor
will bo devoted exclusively to restaur
ant purposes, provisions being made
for a lunch room of amplo proportions,
a dining room 22 x 48, and an office in
the front part, and kitchen, store
rooms and refrigerating plant in the
rear. The second floor -will bo reached
by an elevator and will be divided into
eighty-four rooms, nearly all of which
will have outside windows, Many of
tho rooms will have private baths, and
at least sixteen will havo shower
baths, There will also be public baths
op both floors, and steam heat and
water In each room.
The plans call for a very handsome
front.
Fred Wulkcr Arrhos Home.
Prod W. Walker, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Con Walker, who was honorably
discharged after four years' service
in tho marine corps, arrived home a
few days ago and will probably re
main for two or threo months before
re-enlisting in the same sorvico. For
seventeen months prior to his dis
charge he was stationed In Santa Do
mlngo as a member of the exped tio.i
ary force of 1700 men sent there dur
the revolutionary uprising. He was
discharged as a sargeant, and when he
re-enlists he will be given tho same
non-commissioned rank at a pay of
slxty-threo dollars per month, Con
sidering that he receives his clothing
and food, medical attention, and pay
during any sickness he may havo, the
position Is qulto a good paying one.
Fred looks to be in perfect health
and expresses im dissatisfaction of
treatment in the marine corps.
