WABHINOTOH BOIIKAU , THE OMAHA. Bun. ) C18 FOOHTRBNTH SlIinET \ WASHINGTON , I ) . O. , April There Is on Hie with the supervising archi tect of the United States treasury the fol lowing letter , which speaks for itsolf. In the main , it Is n duplicate of another letter llled liy Judge Novlllo with the secretary of the treasury , and which loiter had upon its back the endorsement of Senator Mandorson , cer tifying to its correctness ID all essential par ticulars , WASHINGTON , D. O. , April 5 , 19S9. fron. Mr. Wlndrlm , Supervising Architect : \Vo wish to state some facts as to tno merits nnd ilcmcrlts of the two sites , ono proposed nnd recommended by Mr. Llnton , oDlclally and Blslnlcrostcd , which is on the lovcl nnd In the buMncM center , nnd the other rccom- tnondotl by Governor Saundcr * nnd E. Hose- water , which Is sltualed on the hill , and , as District Judge Dundy or Mr. Hose water says In his letter recommending it , "in the quiet repose of the city. " There are some facts which make It almost Impossible to locate the postofllco building on the hill , viz. : From Farnam street to Douglas on Eigh teenth street there 1& n rise of about 00 feet , It may bo more. From Fifteenth street , present postofllco silo on Douglas lo Istghlccnlh In a rise of about 100 foot , nnd west ts middle of block proposed by Hose- water Is still more of n rise , making it quite over a hundred font rlso on Douglas. Douglas stiect must bo brought to n level , Dr near It , with Farnam on Eighteenth Btreot , to meet the usual demands of United Btatoi supervising architects of the pasl , and presumably of Iho present ono. If not brouirht to a level with Farnam It Would bo quite Impractical to get the mail transported to the rear of the building. How will this Immense amount of grading bo tlonol Under our statutes this established grade cannot bo changed without first nn nsse&s- tnent and nllowunco of damages to all the nbuttlng owners an Douglas and Eighteenth Btrcols affected thereby , or by a waiver of damages by all such owners. There are numerous citizens owning where the cut will be made , and on cross streets near by , who never will waive this damage as u mere ob- blructton , because they otvn business property below on the business level affected by the removal of the postolUco building on the hill. Then the city council must proceed to assess and act on the damage for * th.ls change of grade nnd pay for iho grading. This cannot bo done ul all , I llilulc ; but if effected , will bo with such delay as will bo deplorable bv reason of facts , namely : Wo have in our city council I. S. Hascall With his friends arrayed against E. Hose- \vator upon old political feuds. These men Jvill never permit this grade to bo changed , If for no other reason than to defeat Rose- water. This is not pleasant to any , but pub lic interest calls for the whole truth. I see a telegram on file saying all parties interested have waived damages as to change of grade. This is utterly untrue and noth ing but the walvor in writing filed with you , property sworn to , will , I think , satisfy you us an olllclal. 2. There Is on alloy twenty foot wide nnd EG4 feet in the block proposed at Eighteenth nnd Fnrnnm , Now this must bo condemned. It will not bo vacated nnd given by the city council for Bamo reasons which I have related as to change of grade. Knowing the war between those contend ing factious , made more intense by the prop erty affected in business center , au ordi nance vacating the alley cannot bo had , and It c.innot l > o done except by or dinance nppiovcd by the mayor , under our charter of Omaha , the inuyor wanting the site on Thirteenth nnd llnrnoy , and there interested. ( See hi letter - tor on lllo for bloek 80. ) So you see cou- dcmnution is Inevitable except It bo block 6'J , or some other block without an alley. The diniculty of condemnation is more intriealo Vrhon Iho alloy Is lo bo tnlten , because It springs some legal questions under our law upon condemnation , which must bo followed under the act making the proposition. The Condemnation as to SO , which Mr. Linton recommends , is void of those troublesome questions , as Ihoro Is no alloy , all other own ers In the block * having agreed to lake the appraised va.luo as I tun informed. . The same conditions apply to 69 , ns there Is no alloy nnd no grading to do , and block 89 is lust ono block east of present postoflico building , and perfectly satisfactory to a great majority of tlio business people , I think. One other suggestion as to grading : Block 115 on the hill now has u perpendicular banit about twenty to Ihlrty feet nigh on Farnaui street , running out to nothing on Douglas Btrcot. Several cuts Imvo been made on Fnrnam. If Douglas street Is cut , ( assum ing It possible ) , then Iho whole block pro posed by Mr. Uosowator will sUnd nil round the sdiiaro Iwenly lo forty feet perpendicu lar above the surroundings. Now the excavation for the foundations must bo SO fuel , so wo have n removal of diit from 10 to 50 feet lo slurt this building. One more ihought. I understand that In locating postofllco sites , the supervising ar chitects in tlio past have refused to go up on 0 hill or rise for the reason ,11131 the cities pan cut the street in front of the poatonlco if they wisji and inconvenience tlio United Elates service and in some Instances the gov ernment has been almost compelled to aban don her costly buildings.rlhls is a potent reason for n level or plateau silo , especially In an established bUHinesa center where all interests domnnd n permanency of grade. 9'hls question of change of grade has almost universally controlled the supervising archi tects , as they did not wish to subject their costly work to the ravages of a city council nnd especially n western olio with many hills to cut and where they Imvo cut three or four times the smno street , at the name pluco. n. As to tlio value of this property reach- Ins f 100,000 , I must say that 1 have been twenty-one years familiar with real ostnto valuo.s in Omaha , nnd lot mo ussuio.vou this whole block will not bo appraised at inoro than $373,000. But to provide for contingen cies , the owners about this block under the bill executed a bond in Iho sum of $50,000 , the consideration of which Is the benoflta of locating the nostoftlco building upon block 0. This Is a valid consideration , nnd such bond la Rood without qucalion. Furthermore , some of the parties who Blgnod it are bovoral times over inillioimlics. Hut in addition to this , indemnity bonds were executed hy other oltlzons Interested , to these men who signed this baud to the United States. Thosa indemnity bands are conditioned that If these innkcra of the flist bond to the United States shall pay any money to the United States or property owners , on account of appraisement ever the WOO.OUO , they will make it good , save tlio Illtlo portion duo for original bomlmakcrs. Can It bo paid that these Indemnity bonds are not good If tlio money shall bo paid over by the original bondiimkors. No good law yer will say they are not binding. But the original bondsmen are Interested deeply In ' the location a-id will nay the money over rapidly and Hint would bind the InJvmnlty bomls'iion. In addition , a subscription of many thou- Band dollars was rained as a precaution to jncot any over appraisement. This appraisement and condemnation matter - tor is over and ever provided for , and as you Will have to condemn any way.it appears bust to take that on a level and suited to the best Interest of the government nud the oltUans Of Ouinluu District Judifo Dundy , or Mr , Hojowatcr ars in his luttor fuvorublu to the site on the bill , that ho would like to got tlio United Slate * business In a place Of quiet and repose. I thought the postonico waa Intended for a place ol jiUKli , rush and noise of business , at least U eon becomes such u placa if not located In ono. Being United States attorney fur nearly nine > oar * and constantly bo fore the old Judge , I became familiar with bis pecu liar decisions , similar to this , whore the United Stales and a private individual were Intrrimlod. 1 may nave been prejudiced , but I thought ho wat for the Individual Jlrst , last and all the time. t. 'Iho citizens owulnj ; property fronting near the present postonico building bought nnd gave the site to the United Stales. They do not ask n return ol values but simply equity. That n , that nil things being equal , [ heir property should not bo depreciated to simply benefit 6thor private parllos who gave nothing to the United Stales for the present building. A government demands equity and Justice from her subjects , shall * ho not do equity ! Yours truly , JAMBS NEVILLK. It Is Genuine. Probnblv thousands of nooplo In this section ol the country , mm this section Is no exception to nny ether in this rc- sixjct in the United Sttxtos , have road the report said to have boon written by Prof. S.

" I have investigated the processes of manufacture which are conducted with extreme care and ac cording to the best methods. I have taken from the laboratory samplps of all the articles used in the preparation of those medicine3ag well as the several medicines in which they outer. I have also purchased from dittoront druggists in this city "Warner's Safe Remedies , " and upon critical examination I find thorn all entirely free from mercury and from poisonous and deleterious sub stances.

The Oklahoma Contingent U Getting Heady For Departure. The Oklahoma craze is still active , but the conferences grow loss , and the attendance also. Out of 1.500 , who were loud in ex pressing their determination to emigrate to the now territory from Omaha , It is safe testate state that at least thirteen hundred will re main where their chances for obtaining a livelihood are bolter. At least they have so decreed. Yesterday afternoon and evening a conference was hold In Kaspor's hall , but nothing of importance xvas transacted. Tlio "colonists , " to the extent of about seven hundred , are gradually forming the opinion that the "hanging gardens" of Oklahoma are not what Captain Smith pictured them when hK silver tones prompted many an unsophis ticated individual to reach into the remote corner of his pocket and extract the requi site 93 for membership in the "colony. " Smith is still enthusiastic ever the matter , nnd will depart for the now Held this even ing or to-morrow. President West could not bo found last night , but the members of the colony express conQdence in him. At any rate tlioro will be no body of men leave Omaha of sufficient magnitude to be styled a ' colony. " At the G. A. U. hall last night a number of old veterans Joined the proxy boom , nnd Cuming will leave here with a largo batch of napors to bo llled Ar claims. Gumming will likely leave hero to-day , al though this hns not been fully determined upon. Andy Wiggins and J. R Henderson , two old union soldiers , will depart for Okla homa ever the Missouri Pacific to-day. The scheme to colonize in the ranks of the Omaha contingent when securing claims is rapidly fulling. Tliat ' 1 ircrt Afllicts nearly every one in the spring. The system having become accustomed to the bracing air of winter , is weak ened oy the warm days of the changing season , and readily yields to attacks of disease. Hood's Sarsapurillu. is just the medicine noedcd. It tones and builds up every part of the body , and also expels - pols all impurities from the blood. Try it this season. 91E31OU1AIJ DAY.

There YTM nn Interchange of sentiment between the delegates sent to represent the different temperance organizations throughout the state , nnd n Rood time generally , ns the dolo- Katlons u-ouhl probably put It , and they en joyed n feast of good things. There wcro speeches and song service , a regular class meeting , so to spenk. Hut Chairman Dleltlo wni the gro.it central flguro. Ills speeches were enthusiastically received nnd his senti ments pronounced the "Alpha nnd Oinoga" of tno movement , BO far ns they related to the submission question In the state ; and to plan the campaign of the two years to como In favor of constitutional prohibition was the solo and only object of the conference. It will bo pronounced n success by prohibitionists nil over the state. There were probably three hundred delegates In attendance. Asldo from them the good women of the city made ui > the audiences. They showed hearty apprecia tion of the movement. They greeted each other with hourly hand-shakes and embraces , spoke their pieces when called upon , and added much to the general entertainment. A temperance convention would bo nothing without the women. It would bo a ship on a stormy sea without a rudder. Mrs. King , ef Lincoln , talked and was cheered. Mrs. Holmes , of Tecumseh , read a very Interest- In ? paper. Thoy.did not wr.ingla nor quar rel. Some of the gentlemen did. One wanted It this way , and nnottizr that. Uut , after discussion. It was decided best to Imvo the third party lese Its Identity in the flght for constitutional prohibition. This was gall and wormwood for Scott nnd Hawley and Templin. Wolfcnbargcr was out of town. The anti-saloon republicans were there In force and captured the convention. This was the reason the third party fellows toolc a back scat. 1 Jut why llnucri There Is no good reason on earth. The story of the con ference is told when it is said that from three hundred to six hundred people at tended the sessions and that there wcro papers nnd songs and speeches. They all related to temperance nnd temperance work. Major Hilton , of Washington , D. C. , nd- drcsscd the concluding session of the con ference. Ho was greeted by a largo audience. The committee on plan of work recom mended "that the prohibition party , the Good Templars , the W. C. T. U. , the null- saloon republicans , democrats and united labor men use their organisations to carry out the agitation for the passage of the pro- hlbitorv amendment to our state constitu tion. Wo further recommend that in each county and precinct leagues bo organized , and that all people , of whatever political opinion , ns far as possible , co-opcrato with the leagues for carrying the amendment. Wo further recommend that the rightfully constituted odlcors of the aforesaid organiza tions confer together to provide -for an economic distribution of labor , so that the greatest good may be accomplished with the least expenditure of time and money. Wo would further recommend that a number of mass meetings bo held in different Darts of the state for the purpose of creating public sentiment in favor of the amc'ndment. The plan was signed by George Scott , Caroline M. Woodward , L. B. Palmer and George N. Gibson. The following resolutions wore adopted : Ilesolvcd , By the Nebraska State prohibi tion conference , hold at Lincoln , April 17 and IS , 1SSO : 1. That , whereas , the last session of the legislature saw lit to submit to a vote of the people the question of n prohibitory amend ment , wo pli'dgo the several organizations rep resented by us tliat during the next eighteen months wit will put lorth our most earnest and persistent efforts to secure the embodi ment of prohibition in the organic law of our tate. 2. That while wo deem it for the best in- cst of the rause that wo enter this amend ment campaign each organization under its own banner , working through its own meth ods , wo will most cheerfully co-operate with all lovers of homo , either In their individual capacity or as organizations who are honestly laboring for the triumph of the same great principle. 3. That while wo will bo untiring in labor for this great cause by the methods wo sev erally doom best , wo do not propose to carry partisanism into our work or pass unfriendly criticism upon those who" work bydilleront , methods hut with just as sincere motives. 4. That whereas strong drink Is tlio great est curse of the laboring class , we urge on the labor element of the entire state , of whatever party nfilliation , to unite with us In carrying the state for prohibition. 5. Whereas a non-purtioan conference Is being called to meet In this city on Juno 5 , therefore- resolved , that as individuals wo lecognba the most perfect freedom to attend that , and any other movement to ultimate victory. 0. That with charity for all and malice toward none , wo enter hopefully and deter minedly into this contest for God , homo nnd native land , and urgently call on the prohi bitionists , the W. C. T. U. , the Good Tem plars , nnd all other temperance organiza tions to each perfect its machinery , adopt its own methods , strengthen Its own orgiinl- tion , and then inarch forward in hearty sym pathy with each other's wont for a combined assault on the most formidable citadel of the rum jwwer high license.

It ia well known that wo always carry tlie largest stock. The stores are scarce that can show a line of Spring Suita worthy of comparsion with ours. And we want it understood right hero that wo not only have the largest stock but also that in this stock can be found suits as choice as any house can show them , or as any tailor can produce. We have a line of Dress Suita Prince Al berts and three button Cutaways-which in quality of material , cut and raako are equal to the best custom work. Our fine Silk lined Prince Alberts are marvels of beauty and fil and the only difference between thorn and those of the fine Merchant tailors is the great difference in the price. We are selling these goods at the same low rate of profit as we soil all our other goods , and whoever buys a Dress Suit with out at least looking at ours , fails to consult his own interest , Don't forget our new Shoo Department.
