THE VALUE OF A NOSE.
Ari Omaha "Han Considers His
Worth Abont $5,000.
The nose , as everybody knows , is
the most prominent feature of the
face. If it 4s a thing of beauty ,
then it is a joy forever ; but
however tba.t may bewhether hand
some or ugly , no person would want
to be without a nose. It is general
ly a great convenience , although at
times a big nuisance , especially if a
fellow has got a bad attack of ca
tarrh. Then his nose is like the
Nebraska winds , always on the
blow.
Omaha is a hard place for noses.
Last summer two men got into a
fight , and one bit the other's nose
clean off. The man who did the
biting barely escaped going to the
penitentiary by some means or
other.
Another similar case happened a
few weeks ago , but as the victim
had his nose sowed on again , and
came out all right , fcp did not pros
ecute the matter farther than hav
ing the nose-biter fined-at the Po
lice Court for fighting.
Dr. Baumer was so indiscreet as
to criticise Krug's beer , and Krufi
accordingly smashed his nose all
over his face. Baumer sued foi
Damages , and recovered § 150.
That/s / one yalup of a nose.
Now comes Mr , Adolph Minsiij
and claims that he has got a' nest
that can beat Dr. Baumer's all tc
pieces , Mr. MInski thinks his nest
"
is" worth about $5,000 , and hp pro ;
poses to endeavor to recover thai
amount from Maurice Dee , whc
caved it in with a fifteen-dollai
umbrella , on Sunday afternoon last ,
The idea of suing for damages ,
was not Jotig in entering the head
of'Mr. Minsk's' , wljq , immediately
upon the clobe of the mill with Dee ,
askpt } , "Is fbQt rn.qn.worth any-
- ? Upon learning time ho was
full/able to'pay for a tr4-11 a030 !
he employed Hon. Joha C. Co win
to fight thecasc.and the netitiou was
filet } yestprday morning ii'lhe office
of the clerk of the District Court.
The petition goes on to sluto , in sub
stance , that Dec broke Minski's
nose , and otherwise injured
his face and head , and
that he beat and bruised
the plaintiff about twelve or fifteen
times about the body , and in mak
ing the assault he tore and destroy
ed a suit of clothes of the plaintiff
valued at thirty dollars , and de
stroyed one uinbrplla worth , fifteen
dollars. The value of Mr. Minski's
noje , therefore , according to his es-
mateJflgured out in dollars and
cents , would be the difference be
tween the combined value of the
clothes and umbrella forty-five
dollars and five thousand dollars ,
which leaves a balance in favor of
the nose of $4,956all of which
amount the many frlendsof Mr
Minski , Mr. Cowin and the BEE In
cluded , hope that he will recover.
Mr. Cowin was attorney for the
defendant in the case of Baumer vs.
Krug , and we suggest that it would
be no more than proper under the
circumsfanpps Messrs. Savage
& Mandersonj who appparpd for
the plaintiff in the same case ,
should appear for the defendant in
this , because they are just as much
entitled to a monopoly on
nosc cases as is Mr. Cowin.

of inactivity , are now bemoaning
their luck , as they choose to term it

of Omaha gentlemen to come
under their very nose , and gobbh
up some three miles of river front
age o.i land containing a vast de
posit of P ° 3l > 3s s } } ° wl ! from tu <
outcrop. These parties have alrpadj
a tunnel some 300 feet on a vein o
superior coal , averaging some thlr
ty inches in depth , and are nov
boriug for the second strata , will
good prospects for a large vein a
not over 70 feet from surface. Tlite
property bids fair to furnish a gooc
fortune for Jail concerned , as it
close proximity by rail to St. Jo <
and Omaha renders It very vajufl'
ble.

The New York Tribune's funnj

lished in the BEE , and thus com

which , perhaps , is the child of social

the 5th of July , as in many
other Police Courts on that day ,

sacted. It wasn't ' , howevpr , top
lively for one William Taylor ' 'a '
suspicious stranger , " who was fined
$3 and costs "on a venture , " and or
dered to leave. It does not appear
that William Taylor was suspected
of felony or misdemeanor , or of In
tending either he was simply "a
suspicious stranger , ' ' andassuch or
dered to leave , but not before he
had , perhaps , made it im
possible for him to leave
by paying $3 and costs at

SOMETHING ABOUT THE
GRADES ;
Old and ITew Grad'es on Dodge
Street Compared.
St. ' Mary's Avenue Records.
OMAHA , July 21.
The subject of street grades seems
at piesent to engross public atten
tion , and as usual in the discussion
of such subjects , misrepresentations
by interested parties are being
spread , broadcast toeffect desired
modifications. The decision of Chief
Justice Lake that the grade of any
street cannot , when changed from
plans previously adoptedbe putjntp
pflept without flrst assessing and
tendering payment of'resultintr
damages , is being „ quoted as a
barrier to the successful execution
this season of wort upon Dodgeand
gther sheets. | js alleged that the
erode upon Dodge street adopted in
1873 so modifies that of 1868 that
the city will be embarrased to pay
resulting damages to Meredith and
others , and that in consequence the
plans Adopted must" be changed.
A's' I ma e p" surveys and.d.e.sjgued.
the plans recently adopted- ! deem
it ray duty to make a proper ex
planation , and then let the public
judge whether these representations
are based upon facts. .It is well
known that a'system known as the
Creighton grades was adopted in
I860 , under its provisions Dodge
street and most all others north
ward to Webster street , were to be
cut to the extent of from twenty-
five to thirty fet. In 1868 Mr.
Meredith : ; 'with * special view to
secure a change upon IJougljs , '
Dodge and Capitol avenue grades
Was'elepted. ft'tjjp pouppij. Th.e
tihange after iwnsjderftbje eftbrt was
finally effected In 1809t Jfowlfth *
cut provi < ] ii for in , the change
thus brought about Is rin excess
of what it ought to be , Mr. Meri-
dith , and others , whg were instru
mental In Jts "adoption , ijr&the last
ones to complain"a'nd'certafniy can
clain no damages. N.OW It Is stated
fhat the grade recommended by
myself contemplates an Increase of
cutting. Let us see. The elevation
above low water-mark of the grade
as established by Meredith in 1869
on Dodge street , and that adopted
in 1873 are as follows :
Old grade centre 19th on west side
Dodge 158 fept ; new grade , ditto ,
lag/iiiaking / qufr ou'n.eXy gra.de."qne
foot less than old.
Centre block west , old grade , 170 ,
d.jtto. new grndo , 169 j , making out
on new grade only MX inches more.
Old grade west side 20th , 178 , new
grade 180 ; old grade cuning two feet
more.
Thus it will be seen that the
records do not substantiate
the allegations in reference to Dodge
street. Now a few words in refer
ence to Sjt. Mary la ayeuuv. first of
all.Tola.ni ) there never was such a
street in 1800 , when the grade Is
claimed to have been established.
There is no authenticated plat to
show it no record showing that
property was over purchased or ever
deeded for that purpose. Only a
year ago , Mr. B. E. B. Kennedy
came before the City Council with a
protest in behalf of his neighbors
against the formal opening of the
street. An injunction was after-
wqrds sought by him , of the courts ,
to'rostraiir the city"from tdkinn it ,
which Judge Lake refused , upon
grounds that the city had a right to
condemn property for public high
ways. If a street had a legal exist
ence before , then why these proceed
ings ? Again , Mrs. Crary , by Mr.
Kennedy , her attorney , has a
' '
paso now hi qourt far fjama'ges' ,
resulting from opening the avenue
through those grounds lasfc year.
Those parties are now fighting t\vo
battles , one claiming damages for
changing a grade upon a street es
tablished seven years ago , and the
oth.gr fop grounds taken by thP Pty }

claim hnd no existence. Can a grade
bo regarded ns established on a
street having no existence ? But
what- record is there of any grade ?
( assuming such a street to jave le

Certainly it cannot be claimed
that a piece of paper with no cirtifl-
cate. no record , an $ jn fp.tqnly
partly marked in pencil , like many
temporary plats , Is the proof of Its
being the one claimed to have been
recommended and adopted. Is it
not reasonable to suppose
that Barnard , who established

Webster sfrppt , sh.quW bavp lyrltteu

[ jf which the City Clerk's records
xmtain an exact copy , and
then make an exception of this
