C ity Engineer Koscwatnr completed
yesterday Ills report of ( hn plans ,
estimates ami proposed routes of the
boulevard , which for the past several
months has been under contemplation.
After closing up some of thu minor ilo
tails of the report Mr. Hosewater will
probably submit it to the city council nl
Us meeting this evening.
'J'wo routes hav been surveyed by Mr.
Kosownter ami his assistants. One is the
line proposed by the boulevard romtnil-
too iiml the othur is tlio one suggested by
Mr. Hosowater himself , as the mo'-t
feasible ami economical o.tic. Tills latter
runs ov > r the mimmil lines , and com
mands .a mngnilicent view of the sur
rounding country. Tim estimates of the
former route show Unit on account of
the numerous sleep graded , ho cost of
the boulevard laid out in this line would
be something extraordinary.
The ronUi of thu boulevard proposed
and recommended by the city engineer ,
is about 0.1 follows :
licginninirnt the iutcrJ.ection of Six
teenth and Vinlbn streets , tinmen north
on Sixteenth ami Sherman nvumio to the
driving park , thoncu iiorthweMerly and
westerly by the present county road to
Thirty-iirfil street in Hoyd's addition or
what'is more generally known as State
street or the road on which Fort Omaha
fronts. Thence it runs south to the
north line of ( Si.so's addition , thence past
nnd to the west boundary of the slate deaf
and dumb inslltutc. Thence it goes
Bouth about two-thirds of a mile to the
old military road , north of Samulors
& Jlimclmugh's addition , and thence
southerly along the military road to the
north line of Walnut Hill at the cros"ing !
of the Hell Lino. Thence tins route is
fiurvoved cast one-quarter of a mile to the
roait dircetlv west of the waterworks res
ervoir. The route is thenro south on thin
road to the north line of Kilby Place and
thence east , about one-eighth of a mile
mid south about half a mile to the east
and west conler line of section S0. ! 1 ; rom
this point it starts east about one-eighth
of a mile to Plnisant street in West Oma
ha , and south along Pleasant street to
Leavenworlh street , thence southeast
erly to a point one block north of the
poor farpi and to the north and south
street to the cast line of that addition.
Proeeding sotttli about a little over a half
mile it runs southeasterly to a point near
the southeast corner of Dwight and Ly-
man's addition ; llienco southwesterly tea
a , point slightly west of sec
tion . Then it runs east
on the centre line of section
311 over tlio Holt and railroad lines with
about -1M feet of bridging to Twenty-
fourth street in South Omaha , then north
on Twenty-fourth street to Green street
in Wilco.vs third addition and east and
northeasterly on Yintou street to the.
point of beginning. ' - '
This comprises a line 'about-fourteen '
miles in length , thirteen miles of which
will bo over grades less than four feet
per hundred. No grade will be greater
uian five feet per hundred. In fact
eight miles of this has a grade of less
than two feet to tlio hundred. 'Iho total
amount of guiding necessary to com
plete this ITno wftl bo about 418,000 ,
yards. Of this amount about ! K,00 )
yards.is within the city limits' , and tM8- ,
000 within the control of the
county. These estimates are based on
securing a roadway of 100 feet in width ,
which would admit of eight feet side
walks on each side , and eighty-four
feet driveway Outside of Six
teenth street itself , it would
require the condemnation or dedication
of about lifly acres , which is based upon
taking seventeen feet on each side of the
present county roadway. 1'hls boulevard
will admit of three differ-
out routes. By using Farnam
street , which is 100 feet in width to the
county limits , in other words , making
tlio north circuit via Farnam street , it
will bo 10 * miles in length. Making
the south circuit via Sixteenth
street and back via Farnam , ( passing
along tlio west line ) the circuit will bo
eight miles. The estimates here do not
embrace the grading of Sixteenth street
from Howard to Leavenworth to the pro
posed viaduct , as that will como within
the regular grading of tlio city.
The cost of this grading to the city as
outlined heroin , will bo about $18,000 , of
which the city would pay half and the
property owners one-half.
. . Tlio cost to ( he county would be about
80,000 inclusive of all necessary bridging
over railroads.
If the county wore to pay one-half of
this cost , the property taxed would have
to pay less than fiO cents per foot front ,
which would bo very light , considering
the incalculable advantages that would
result.
It is City Knginocr Rosowntqr's
opinion , as ho atjmit'ted in conversation
with a reporter , that tlio boulevard could
bo completed next summer , if the matter
wore only pushed and tlio necessary
funds provided for at once.

D. Mcadimbur for building the police
patrol wnsron was taken tip. Mr. Gibbon
said that as the board had ordered the

to sign the warrant , ho thought that the
members were entitled to an explanation
from the president.

son he had refused to sign the warrant
was because it was illegal. Ho had once

b.iek on that decision.

that the president was straining at a
gnat , and that it was not Illegal lor him
to sign the warrant.

the president's position , he was set
ting up his opinion against , that of

exceeding his powers. Ho had no right
to set himseli up as the judge of the ,
board's actions , nnd when he was in
structed to perform some action , he
should bo obliged to do it.
President Points replied that ho was
standing on a legal point , and ho would
not nign tlio warrant until ho was au
thorized to do so by the courts.
A number of other members present
joined in tlio discussion , citing the in-
.stance when the board engaged lawyers
to compel the wholesale limior dealers to

tirely ignoring the board's action.

ditional room for scholars and lints re
lieve the Central school. The resolution
was adopted. .

Clark requeuing tlio city attorney to
bring such action in the district court as
will cause the president of _ tlaf board to
sign a warrant for $ 100 in payment of
cost of patrol" wagon for the use of the
city police. Witnoutdiseussion the reso
lution was passed by a vote of 5 toI. .

lution aut'homing the committee on
buildings and property to secure plans

A THKT3A.TENING I-ilDTTER.
Mr. Thurstoii Hecelves Such a Kles-
HIIRC and Replies to It.
To the Editor : I have received by mail
tlio following anonymous letter , very
similar in character to several others
previously sent to the friends of John
\V. Latter , who had shown a desire to
see that ho bad a fair and impartial tmi :
OMAHA , Pee. : ! , 1SS. ' > J. M. Tlmrston : It'
you want to end your days in happiness nnil

We want no hnbons eonnis , and. should'
you olitnin one. we will blow you and your
house to Hell with DYNAMITE.
This Is.your first and last notice.
Haying no other means of replying , I
desire to say through the public press , to
Iho anonymous and infamous coward
who wrote the above , tliafc neither from
fear or favor will I be intimidated , from
doing my whole duty to my client in this
and in every other case. You may suc
ceed by yqur contemptible threats in in
timidating friends and examining magis
trates , but so long as 1 have life and
strength , I will exert all my powers to
see that my unfortunate client lias a full ,

Should 1 bo removed , you will find
there are many other fearless and able
attorneys in Omaha ready and willing to
do the same for him or any other man
charged with crime moro especially so
when ho becomes the object of such
bloodthirsty and cowardly vengeance.
This is a land of liberty and law.
My grandfather fought for its inde

Yon nmv carry your fiendish threat

between $ : J,000,000 and $ ! , OOU,000 a

ce ! ' of Omaha. "
"Yes , but don't forget the private
banks not reporting io the clearing
house. ) '
"I don't. has
Minneapolis some , as
well as other cities , but you must remem
ber ( hero arc several private banks in
Omaha. Do .yon see ? "
"How does the relative business of
Omalia and Kansas Citv stand ? "
"The 1N < 3 records are not complete ,
and the O.nahn , clearing house was not
existing in the early months of 183 1. Hut
look at a comjiarisou of Omalia clear- .
nnccs by months. In November , 1&J1 ,
they' were $8ill,12fl | ! , and November ,
1S83 , shows $ lli7 } ! > , : iH ( ) In twenty-
eight days , or over $12,000,030 for the
whole nfonlh. This makes an increase
of over JO percent , over last November.
ItMa very satisfactory showing , but it
isn't u. drop in the bucket to what Omalia
will be. Kansas City docs ubont § : ( ) , -
000,000 a month , but Omaha will t-oon
pass thai figure. "
"Why do you think so ? "
"Hceause the linger of destiny is point
ing to Omalia as the largest city west of
Chicago. You can figure Unit out by
simple arithmetic. Can't you calculate
it ? Got some of your real estate men ,
bankers or merchants to do it lor yon.
To cut the matter short I'll tell you. It
is a matter of calculation. First take the
surrounding country. Nebraska has u
pnpnlation of 750,000. Omalia has ( W.OflO.
Kansas has 1,300,000 , and Kansas City
105,000. Now these are the immediate
resources of the two cities on the west
The proportion is : Omaha , Oi-750 | Kan
sas City , 105-1 , 000. Or for the two cities
one in twelve. That is , Omalia has one-
twelfth the population of Nebraska and
Kansas City the same as to Kaunas.
" 15ut hero's the dill'erenco : Kansas City
has Sf. Louis , Leavenworth , Atehison ,
and St. Joseph for competitors , while
Omaha has comparatively nothing
Thai is , thu chances nro four to one in
favor of Omaha against Kansas Cil.y and
about the same against St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
"Now Omaha lias no formidable com
petitor on tlio west which will hinder her
growth and the rapid concentration of
capital and population at this point in
prufeicnce to all others. Denver will
not hurt her. On the contrary the faster
Denver grows the intervening country
will settle up and add a vast volume to
our constantly increasing trade. The
moro capital and commercial centers we
have in the mountains and territories
the richer Omaha will bo. If you want
proof look at Chicago mid' her magnili-
cent growth , when her- railroads tapped
the Jfissouri valley and-beyond , contribut
ing also to the growth of thriving busi
ness centers all along , tlni-linc.
"No , sir. Young man , just keep up
with the procession , start -bank and
buy nil the town lots you can. "
AN AUDACIOUS
A Highwayman Assaults a I < aily on : i
A lady living in the vicinity of the gov
ernment , corral met with a terrible adVenture -
Venture early Sunday evening. Just as
she was about to cross the footbridge
across Nineteenth street she noticed u
man crossing a short distance ahead of
her. On reaching the other side of the
bridge , the man slopped , and when the
middle , ho came forward and stopped
her. Grabbing hold of her , ho said ,
"Have.you got any money ? " "No , " she
replied , nearly frightened "to death.
" watchS" lie de
"Have you got a next
manded. Again she replied no , and the
villain then threw his arm around hot
head and put his hand over her month ,
and threatened to kill her. She struggled
to got free , but the" more she struggled ,
the moro violently did the scoundrel
abuse her. Fortunately , just at this time
a boy came out of a neighboring house
and' walked toward the footbridge.
Thereupon the highwayman released his
hold of the lady , and disappeared in the
darkness' . The lady did not recover from
the shock for two or three hours Her
nerves were completely unstrung , and
her month was bruised so that the blood
llowcd I'recly. _ _ _ _

Capl. Holmes , of New York city , is in

He represents a party of eastern cap

market n new cattle car , which , it is
claimed , is destined to work a revolution
in the block business of the country. The
car is bitill , so far as si/.oaml general up-
ponrance is concerned , very much like
