Dr. Miller of the 1'ark commission said that the pcoplo wcro lu earnest and that if the cltv votoil llio park bonds ho would took upon the project with considerable favor. Tlio tltno wus near at hand when Omaha would need moro parks , and Inud could bo purchased now cheaper than next year. The people In the southern portion of llio city wanted rv park , ono wlioro they coulu enjoy it summer's outing. Huns- com park illlcd iho bill , but It was too small to nccoininodatu the crowd.

Quito n commotion was created at the union depot Wednesday evening , upon the arrival of the ( Jhlcajo , Burllti- pton & Quincy train , at 0:15. : Upon the platform was stationed the Bohemian brass baud and as the train was pulling into the depat , ttio baud struck up a lively air. Matty of the harvest excursionists - ists , who Illlcd the train , began to wonder , If the muslo was intended for tholr special welcome to tuls great stato. A three sided transparency e.irriod by a tall and slnowy man , soon told the talo. It read : WW.COMU VICTOUSi TIIH 1IOIIKMIAN ( IVMNAST3 OV OMAHA-dor TiinitK. Jl I'lllUSdOOll KNOUClll. The assembled crowd composed of fully two hundred iiohouiluu gymnasts and their friends , withu brass bandwore there for the purpose of welcoming the team of tno Bo- liomlau gymnastio society soUol , con sisting of Meinbord Ardolph IIo- wolka , Frank Fiala , Prank Jelen , Jo seph Dworacuk , Joseph Koran and Bob Ninger , who were .returning from the na tional tournament of Bohemian gymnasts just concluded at Milwaukee , Wls. , where Omaha's representatives covered themselves with glory. The contest at Milwaukee was the grandest that uvor took place among the Bohemian gymnasts in this country and naturally caused a great deal of Interest among them. The Bohemian National Union of Gymnasts consists of t\V3utv-llvo gymnastic societies , with u membership of upwards of il.OOO , ot whii'h moro than one-half nro "active" ( practicing ) members. Each soci ety sent a team to the tournament , and 150 strong and agile young man competed for supremacy and Omaha got more than her share of glory. The Omaha team competed In second class with cloven ether teams and out of the twelve it was awarded on the whole the third place. On the parallel leap it carried oft thu Ih'st prlzo. The individual members gained a number of prizes. In the ruu.ilng long jump and running high jump Kruulc Jllon carded off Ilr.it prizes. Frank Fiala was awarded third plnco nmoiiL' the 100 competing members of the class. Howolka and Jelou wnro third on the vaulting horse and carried off several minor prizes. In all , the Omaha team and its meti- bors gained eleven prizes. This result was rather unexpected by thnir friends , us this was the llrt > t time that the Omaha team participated in the national tournament and computed with much older and stronger teams , The result thcroforu , caused the enthusiastic welcome. The visitors , accompanied by their friends and sympathizers , marcned to the lively tunes of music from the doiiot along the viaduct " duct to Furnum , thence to" Thirteenth and along that street to Matz's hall , where an Informal reception took place. The president of the society , Mr. Anton Kmcift , welcomed the competing team ou buhuU of the society. Mr. J. Havltcok extended congratulations and welcome ou behalf of the gymnastic society tyrs , and the balance of the availing was spent in pleasant entertainment. Citizens of Omaha will have an opportunity to witness the anicloncy of the victorious Omaha team , as well as of six ottiori. There will bo a state toilnntncnt of the Bohemian gymnasts at the base ball park September U in which seven teams will participate , as fol lows : Sokol \Vilber. .

The case of Samuel U , Brlghnm against the city of South Omaha was argued before Judge Do.ino and submitted yesterday.

Brlghum tiled a protest which was Ignored by the council and tbo license Issued. llrlgham applied to the court for n man damus compelling the council to revoke tbo license. At the homing yesterday the piojocutlou was represented by Slmoral Jlros. , who made the three strong points s First , that it had been proven beyond any question that the World-Herald did not have tno largest circulation of any paper In Douglas county , consequently the advertise ment was Illegal and void ; second , that the notlco was published only twice during ttio two weeks that It should have run , when the law couHornplaled that It should have been published nnch consecutive dny during the period ; third , That the council refused to allow Brlghum the necessary tltno lu which to appeal from It * decision.

Itcmarkntilc i.iul Uncounted of Its Rind. In December , 1873 , Mr. Chirk Wood- miui took hla fir&t policy of Hfo Insur ance in the Northwestern Mutual Llfo Insurance < ! o. of Milwaukee , for $1,000. 00 , on the ordinary lifo plan. Ho wns then ! 57 years old ; ho paid 18 annual premiums of $28.85 each , 01a total of 8510.80 , and ho left his profits or dividends with the company to increase his Insurance. His dividends now , at death , amounted to $457.52 , or within $32.78 as much as ho had paid to the company , leaving him SI ) 17. 22 as prollt , besides having 18 years of insurance. As an investment , it was equal to nearly 11 per cent compound interest an nually on his payments , Sueli policies as Mr. Woodman's are issued by every lifo insurance company in the United States , but as to the profits earned they cannot bo matched by tiny other com pany in existence. If tin agent of any other lifo insurance company can furnish you as good a record as this of any policy issued the same year , same ago and same plan , I authorize you to take S10,000.00 insurance with him and I will pay your premiums for you.

Tlipy Will be of Homo Mnnuf.icturo Whatever They Cost. The joint committee , composed of members of the board of county commissioners , the board of education and the city council , mot at the court house yesterday and at on co took up tno question of booths mid stalls to bo used at tbo fall election. William Coburu was elected chairman and T. P. Tuttle secretary. Upon motion of Mr. OUholT , the chairman appointed Messrs. Osthoff , Coburu und O'KooITo a committee to visit Kansas City and examine a system of booths aud stalls in use in that city. It was decided that the committco should start Sunday night aud return as soori as possible. Mr. Coburn raised the point that it would not be the proper thing to admit that Omaha mechanics could not manufacture as simple things as election booths. All of the mem bers of the committee were of the snmo opinion. The former motion was reconsid ered , aud. Assistant City Encinoer Grover was requested to prepare the plans for a booth lux''O feet , and submit the same to the committee at its next meotinc. A Fremont man was on the ground whh a sample stall that ho was desirous of intro ducing. No action was taken , as the com mittee. desired to do some llgurlng with the ' Omaha wood workers. Some pcoplo are constantly troubled with boils no sooner does one heal than another makes Its appearance.

WERE CONDEMNED AS UNSAFE , BulldlngJ Whio'j the Council Has OrJeroJ OLD LANDM\RKS THAT ARE DANGEROUS , Structure of Whluli Omnlia WIIN Onue Proud to IIo Knzcd In Interest ol' I'uhllu Safety. At Its mooting Monday night the city coun cil passed an ordinance declaring certain buildings unsafe and ordering them torn down. This ordinance was based upon the roportof the building Inspector called for by an ordinance passed April -3. Among the twenty-live bulldlncrs con demned were several which Imvo long been regarded as familiar landmarks about the city and some of thorn have hold n prominent place in the history of the greatest city In the west. The mo-it noted of those and the ono which lias entered largely Into the principal events connected with the growth of Omaha , is the familiar structure on the northeast corner of Twelfth und Douglas streetthe Metropolitan hotel. This Is a two-story frame building with a mansard roof and n balcony across the front ot the second story. The bulldinir stands on n high brick foundation and pre sents a very dilapidated appearance , despite its fresh coat of paint. It hai settled ou all sides and at the corners until It presents a decidedly swaybacked appearance. This old structure was erected at out twenty years ago and took rank as ono of the first hotels of the llttlo village. While it did not approach In size the moro stately Herndon - don ( now the Union Pacitlo headquarters ) , or equal the Cozzons house on Ninth street in its arabesque design , it was centrally lo cated and at once mining into favor as the stopping placa of tbo politicians and public mon. mon.For years the old Metropolitan held its own with the other houses , and oven now some of the older residents of this section iniiku it tholr stopping place when in tbo city. As the town Increased in size the number of hotels increased and iho Metropolitan was rapidly retrograded to the list of minor lodg ing houses. The hotel was built by William Van Ameo and is owned by his heirs , but the names of itslessees nro loiriou. The present le.ssco Is George ( Jay , who expresses very llttlo con cern at the action of iho council. His lease expires soon and ho is not worried about the future. Another landmark which has been passed upon by the destroying angel in the guise of the building inspector is the row of mansions on Fourteenth street ex tending from Jacttdon street to the alloy south. These houses belong to Millionaire Tom Murray and , compared with thorn , Cal amity row on Harnoy street , between Seven teenth and Eighteen , Is n paradise. The bouses stand ou a single lot , and are nil about tlvo feet below the grade of the street. Four of the houses front on Fourteenth stroes , whllo lu the alloy is a barn and next to that n very small houso. The latter Is oc cupied and consists of two mlnaturo rooms. The roadway of the alloy Is level with the only window and completely blocks the frontdoor. The barn has already leaned affectionately - foctionatoly on this house as though to sup port Its failing strpngth. It lias long ceased to bo a haven pf shelter for man or beast and has been undermined until It is a miracle that it rcmr.ins standing at all. The houses on Fourteenth street are in the last stages of decay and stagger under n sudden gust of wind like a water-logged ship In a storm. Three of the four are occupied and the larger ono ambitiously Haunts a lace curtain from its lower window while an open door reveals a bright rod album decorated with oxydized sivcr. The surroundings of all tbo nouses would form a good Hold for the sanitary inspector. Perhaps the most dilapidated of all tbo structures condemned to bo made Into kind ling wood is an old frame building at tbo roar of 1111 Douglas street. This building is a sight. In Itn palmy days it was a one-story dwelling house about seventy-live feet in length , its rear resting in the alloy , while In front wns a yard several feet deep. It is now bidden from view of the street by a store building and is a total wreck. Its back is broken and the roar two-tblrds is used for n stable , whllo a family exist in the remainder. It will bo but u very short time when the building will fall of itself. The order for the destruction of the old Ainscow block , a four-story brick structure at Fourteenth and Leavcnwortu , is hailed with delight by the police. The block nus long been a harbor for thieves and thugs und has contributed moro material to the annals of the police court than any ether ono block in the city. It has boon the Mecca of fallen women and a siukholo of iniquity. This does not constitute the chief reason for its demoli tion , however. The building is In'a vary shaky condition and the upper story Is laid with only a single course of brick , so that it is in Imminent daugcr of tumbling down at any time and injuring many persons. At the corner of Tenth aud Dodge streets is an old junk shop which has long been nil oyc-soro to passengers ou the Dodge street cable lino. The building contains two storerooms , both of which are tilled with a miscellaneous collection of old iron , stoves in all stages of destruction , bales nf rags , bags of paper , old bottles , old clothes , mashed up tinware , and the thousand and ono articles which constitute the stock in trade of n deal er in everything which Is thrown away as useless. Outside , u largo collection of empty barrels , old wash boilers , piles of iron , rusty wire , nrokon bottles , etc. , nd inflnltum , con stitute a style of decoration which Is not , des tined to become populer. It is a source of gratification to many people that UiU old wreck of u building is to bo relegated to the kindling heap. On tno corner of Ninth and Howard is a two-story frame building to which the above description would apply and this is also dc"- tmed to bocomp ono of the "has boons. " This building occupies n full lot and is the property of the East Omaha Land company. Down on Thirteenth street , south of Jones , stands a two-story Jramo building occupied by a second-hand store wlioro anything troin a rusty nail to a second-hand piano may bo purchased. A gaudy banner Announces to the publlo that the proprietor is solhiiL' out below cost in order to cioso out In sixty days. It is sufo to suy there Is moro truth in this sign than ono of this sort usually contains , for the building Is to bo torn down before it f.ill.s down of itself and kills all tno Inmates. Across the strcot from this building is an other similar one. which has been vacant for some timo. It will also bo rotlred. Among the ether buildings which have been condemned and nrdoicd torn down are the two-story frame at Thirteenth und Dodge , which has been vacant for some time ; a two- story brick on Douglas near Twelfth , owned by C. F. Uoodmun and occupied by a second hand clothing store ; the two-story brick nt 211 South Twelfth , fonnorly occupied by tbo California chop house , out now vacant ; a onn nud ouc-hau story frame house on Elev enth strcot north of Capitol avonuc , now va cant ; throu frumo dwellings on Joues street , back of the gus works , and the ono and one- half story building at iho corner of Sixteenth and Hurt fit recta , which has long gloried in Us sign "Sulloon , " but which was vacated some time ago because It loaned so far over that it wns In danger of falling at any time. The two two-story frumo buildings at Four teenth aud Douglas which wcra torn down porno time ago were also among the con demned. Small in size , great in results. Uo\Vltt \ > s Llttlo lOurly RUoM.

Ho says : "It is nn unt.void- able conclusion that when so largo nn in- crcaso in yvoss earnings produced no In crease in nee revenue , the rates obtained for transportation nro too low. This con clusion is often mat by the assertion that ex isting rates would bo high enough for nil needs if they were Maintained. It seems tdlo to talk of the maintenance of rates when pool ing is prohibited by legislation. Maintenance of rates will not relieve American railways from the competition of foreign roads. Tney are compelled to either reduce through rates under penalty of being compelled to reduce intormcdiuto rates , pay subsidies to foreign roads or lese the traffic. " On the matters of wages ho says that there Is n constant pressure that has resulted in a considerable advance in wages without u corresponding increase in not revenue. It is Impossible that a liberal standard of wages can long bo maintained unless the capital which sustains the enterprises is permitted to receive a liberal compensation for its uso. The payments of the company for labor di rectly employed in its service last year were S1-.40U,3(1'J ( and for material and supplies $0,053,777 of which 75 per cent or $7,210,832 were for labor in production , making a total of $17,080,193 expended.
