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.

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

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.
