JONES"A MIND READER , A Rival of Bishop , a Resident of Omaha , Discovered on Farnam Street. Astounding HcTolatlonn or the Phc- nominal 1'ower of Mind Head ing A Bco Man Ascertains What Ho Want * . It was the merest accident that led the BEE reporter to the discovery that a rival of Bisliop , the great mind reader , is a prominent and much talked of resident of Omaha. Following a "pointer" a call was made at 1309 Farnam street , and the victim , evidently anticipating an inter view , failed to greet ye scribe with his usual genial smile , and the following conversation ensued : "Mr. Jones , what do you know of mind reading ? " "Why , who told you 1 know anything of mind reading ? " "Well , I understood you had some power in this direction , and I thought the read ers of the BEE would like to hear some of the particulars. " "Well , it was ten years ago that I took mv first lessons in this art and demonstrated that I could dis cover names and numbers that persons centered their thoughts upon and other things of more or less interest. " "Did you continue the experiments ? " "Only as they relate to my business , and in this I find great advantage. " "Do you consider your rapid growth of business due to this faculty ? " "Yes sirl to a considerable extent. It assists mo to buy goods at the very lowest prices and enables mo to show a customer what he wants without delay. You know "time is money" and Omaha people don't want to spend nn hour or two buying a suit of clothes , so by being able to show them what they are looking for the first thing they are pleased and our sales increase in magnitude. " "Do you get any sport out of your mi nd reading ? " "Well , yes ; occasionally [ do , when a prominent judge comes in ostensibly to make a purchase , but really to show his railroad passes and to borrow our last year's dross suit to wear to the opera , wo smile at his long head , and when a prospective bridegroom calls to select his wedding outfit and is so afraid we will discover his secret that he acts as if ho had a nest of hornets in his inside pocket , there is considerable fun in know ing his thoughts. " "Can you read my thoughts at this mo ment ? "Yes , you are about to leave your order for a spring suit. " Just hero the reporter concluded ho had better desist , and bid the great cloth ing merchant an an re voir. Thn Last Chance. The last chance to get a lot on Farnam street at a bargain is in Brijrgs' Place. I have ten choice lots on Farnam street in Briggs1 Place , which I will olVor for sale next Monday , April 25 , and they will remain on sale for four days unless sooner sold. The Farnani street car line will bo ex tended past each of these lots this spring. Farnam street will be graded a milo beyond Brisrgs' Place this spridg. Farnani street will bo pared nearly to Briggs' Place this season. Please call and get prices on these lots and take a free ride to see them. Take a map and figure it out for your self. self.We We will sell these lots and give the deed on a small cash payment , and give long time on balance , as wo regard the secur ity nmplo. It takes no eloquence to convince an Omaha man or woman of the desirabil ity of Farnani street property , and it will take no more of a notice than this to sell these few lots , so I advertise ns the last chance.

Mondolaaohn Atlmwrlo Vs the County Commissioner * . OMAHA , April 33. To the Editor Omaha UKK : Will you kindly penult us to say a few words In reply to the remarks of County Commissioners Mount and O'Kcefc , iiuu- lished In your paper of last Monday evening , In relation to tlio county hosplUl plans. Mr. Mothit , there , takes occasion to admit his agreement to stand by us , "all tlilnus being eiiiml , " but ho slunally falls to say wliuioln things were not equal. Mr. O'Keote , there , states that lie had been In favor of Mr. Mgurs' plans the last time as well as the lirst , because he considered them the best. In making this statement , tliogon- tlemaii stultifies hiuii-clf and shows his IK- mentnblo Ignoiance of the subject In hand. The former plans presented by Mr. Myers were unlike Ills latter plans , as finally adopted , and they weio condemned by n committee of ph > sicli\ns as being unsuitable. for hospital uuruosus. And yet , Mr. O'Keofo conslduicd them thu best. If Mycis' plans were the best in the lirst vliice , why did lie change his iieneral desluns to conform , ns near ns could bo , to the Corhrane and Mendelssohn ideal' And If Mr. O'Keefo considered My ers' first plans the best , why did ho lipld the same opinion niter they had been radically and totally chanpcd ? These centlemen take occasion to say that our pavlllion plan was Inferior to Myers' and was nothing but a tire-trap. If inferior to Myers' plan , why did Myers , in the second competition , adopt our general design ? If the commissioners had availed themselves of the opportunity and examined our plans and speculations , ( still In their hands ) , they would have found that the floors are to bo constructed with Iron beams and terra cotta arches covered witn cement floors ; that all exterior and main In terior walls were to be ot brick , and continu ous from bottom to top , and the minor parti tion walls of hollow tcira cotta tile. Thereof roof was to be of wrought and cast Iron cov ered with slate. Nowhere was wood to be used , save for doors , window-sashes and floors in trie administration building , and there it was optional ns between wood and cement. Our plans called for a bro-proof building in every particular. These gentlemen say that upon their return from th cast , they were satisfied that none of the irfans should be ac cepted. In what manner-were they so satis- lied ? They stalled with IH plans , with the names erased , for the nvowed purpose of itoinir east to New York i nd other points , and submitting them to experts and obtain ing their opinion upon tliem. The fact Is they went lo Chicago ami l > etroit. When they reached Chicago , the plans were locked up in thn hotel sale uutllitlio commissioners were ready to leave the city , and in Detroit the same thing -was agmln done. If these plans were submitted to experts , will the commissioners please dvc tbb names aud addresses of the experts ? Messrs. Mount and O'K e.fe say that inas much as our plans were entitled to only second place In the lust competition and we had not materially chanced them. It follows as'a matter of couise , tlioy-wero still entitled to second place In the second competition. In the lirst competition ? onr- plans weie awarded a place second to Coclirano's , not ileyfirs' , and if , ns the commissioners say. leyers had greatly Improved his plans , and .his Improvement had been brought about by conforming to the general design of Cochrano ud Mpnaelssohn , why can Mr. O'Keefe say hat the Meyers plan was best on the lirst ompetltlonV In the first competition ochrane's plans were preferred to ours be cause more extensive and more expensive. TJio pavlllion plan Is everywhere regarded as one of the gieatest protections against lire. aving adopted the pavlllion style , and hav- ng made our buiidlni : tire-moot in Its con- tructlon. will tbo commissioners kindly ex- ilaln wherein our plans call for a lire-trap ulldlne ? They say that Mr. Meyers frives a pnd of 80OOO.Ou. . We agreed to give a bond B any amount the commissioners would name to make our building lire-proof within ho estimated cost. . , These Bentlcmen further say that our nol- : ow tile partitions Invite dirt and filth. Will ; he gentlemen explain in what way -terra cotta tile , which Is of superior clay and harder than brick , and closelv sealed and nlnsteied on both sides , can possibly Invite illth of any kind ? Kvery ono who has traveled or Investigated the matter , knows that terra cotta Is reeoumml as the best lire- proof material by all lending architects. All prominent buildings , lately erected , are con structed largely of that material. .One feature of this competition has , per haps , not been made public , and It Illustrates fully the position of the commissioners In regard to this matter. They came to us while the plans were under discussion and said Hint wo had provided no scheme for heating and ventilation , and that Myers had sub mitted an excellent system. Now , It so happened , that the commis sioners , find , by accident , placed our speci fications for heating nnd ventilating with Mvers' plans , and were eulogl/lng them , believing them to belong to Myers. When they ascertained their mistake , onr achumo of heating and ventilating took n tumble in their estimation. . . . . Will Mr. O'Keefo please explain how ho satislied himself that Myers' lirst plan was the best , when lie was Ignorant , personally , of the matter In hand , and when such nhy- hlelans as Mercer. Summers , Leo , Oraddv. Avers and others had considered them ? Messis. Mount and O'Keefo give the cost. per patient , under our plans at SOOS.O , and under Myers' plans at 5574.30. Let us see. Myers provides for 105 patients at a cost of 8113,000. Divide 8112,000 by ! ' . . and you find the cost as stated by the com missioners. WtMirovidoil for UOO patients nt a cost not to exceed SliW.ouo. Divide 81W.OOO by 200 , and thu greatest possible cost per patient under our plans would be only S750 per patient , and not &W9.0J , ns stated by the commissioners , and the actual cobt might have been much less. Why do they lind It necessary to nils slate the facts ? If the hun dred reasons they profess to have for their action are no better founded than their lie- arcs , they certainly would" carry little weight with the tax-payers. The public now undenttaM that Myers has elven.a bond In S'JO.oao to complete this hospital , and to make ita-ilre-proot bulli ing with no wood but doors.tcortplcte In nil Its details , rendy to be occupteu.uy 105 patients , atacostorsil2ooo. & LAWIIIK.

" A 1/AUGIG EKTABLlBfl'MENT. llnydon Bros. , an Eastern Firm , Opoti a First Class Dry Goods Store Next Week. The new brick building on the west side of Sixteenth street near the corner of Douglas has been leased to two good firms , Kennard Bros. , with paint , oil , etc. , nnd the remainder to Hayden Bros. , who will open in a few days a first class dry goods store. Hayden Bros , are well known in the cast as lirst cia s men and they will no doubt keen up their past record. The stock is now being put in place by n largo force ot clerks who are working like beavers so that they may be able to open up the lirst part of the week. Hiiyden Bros , have the reputation of being straightforward business men who have had a loner nnd successful ex perience in the dry goods trade and come to Omaha highly recommended. The advent of a new dry goods house Is always an event of interest to the ladies , ajid from a casual glance at their largo store and crisp new stock , neither the ladles or anyone else will bu disappointed in the new store of Haydun Bros , which will bo opened next week. They will oc cupy two double floors and the basement with thuir stock. ICxpoHitlnn nulldlnt ; Stock For Sn'lc. The earnings of the exposition building during the fourteen months since it was opened have been , in round numbers , $14.000. Thn cost of the main building ami the annex was about $ ( W,000. The stock now issued amounts to $15,800 , which compels tlio carrying of u Moating debt of about $10,000. The directors do- sii-o lo sell ? l.r ,000 of stock , and they feel assured , judging from the income up to the presiint time , and the very Haltering outlook for the future , that it will be a dividend-paying investment from this time forward. Proposals for stock should be addressed toMaxMoyer , president , or I. W. Miner , secretary.
