The mooting of the Park commission to beheld
hold this nftcrnoon promises to bo nn
Important on- .
A largo dolORtttlon ot prominent cltlzoni of
the northwest portion of the city will bo
present to ur o the necessity of the purchase
of a tract of land for park purposes at some
accessible point. They will unbuilt n proposi
tion to buy the 160 acres lying directly west
of JJodford I'laco nud Uruld Hill.
They will advocate that it can bo reached
by two motor Hues and that a paved strcot
rouchfs almost to Its eastern boundaries.
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. The owners of
Syndicate park had submitted n proposition
to sell them KM ) acres , but their pilco , $ .2,000 ,
per acre , was too high.
The doctor points wltn considerable pride
to the work accomplished by the commission
this season. In Hlnuvood park thrco iron
bridges Imvo been built , roadways have been
cut out and a gonornl system of improvement
Inaugurated. Next year the work of beauti
fying the woodland will begin. ilunscom
park has been improved in many respects
and next year it will bo mnuo to conform
with the ideas of Mr. Cleveland , the land-
scnpo artist.
In npoaking ot small parks. Dr. Miller
thought thuy were capital breathing places ,
but ttio pcoplo wanted larger grounds whuro
they could uo and rest and spontl un after

Quito n commotion was created at the

platform was stationed the Bohemian

pulling into the depat , ttio baud struck up a
lively air. Matty of the harvest excursionists -

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-

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. . X.iipiulnl Jodroto of
Turkey creek , Xizka of Bruno , isokol of
Plnttsmnuth , sokol of South Omaha , Tyrs of
Omaha and sokol of Oumha.
The Bohemian gymnasts would have en

First , that it had been proven beyond any
question that the World-Herald did not have
tno largest circulation of any paper In

A few days ago the bonds were presented
to Auditor Uonton , who refused to outer
them for registration , holding to the opinion
that the county had no authority to refund
without having llwt submitted the proposi
tion to the electors of the county. At that
tlmohothumhodthostntutc boomnnd pointed
to a section that provides that the county
commissioners shall refund the Indebtedness
of a county when the whole or some portion
thereof is In judgment.
County Attorney Mahoney saw the point
aud at once took steps to overcome Mr. Bon-
ton's objections , John A. McShano was the
holder of onoof the pastduo bonds. Yesterday
morning ho appeared before the county com

CfjAltK WOODMAN'S INVESTMENT.

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. For rates

ELECTION BOOTHS.

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

ance. Wo recommend a trial.

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.

"Oh , well , that's different ; sit down and I
will say something. I am for silver. I made
a silver speech at the opening of the Sioux
City corn palace a year ago and I meant what
I said. But the money question is a dlfllcult
ono. I bollovo It Is the least understood of
any of the problems we have to solve. I think
wo should begin by making the coinage of
the American product absolute. It would bo
a sort of experimental measure nud wo could
see the ollcct. A coinage measure would re-
monctbo silver and the South American
trade with the Unltod Status would , under

"How do you account for the difference of

CHICAGO , III. , Aug. 2" . President Miller in
the annual report of the Chicago , Milwaukee
ife St. Paul given out today , denies the charga
that thu principal lines of railway in the
west nro over capitalized , and assorts that
these roads cannot bo duplicated for the pres
ent capitalization. On the ruto question ho
says : "During the past year efforts to Im
prove the general situation gavn risa to the
Western Traltlu association which bos this
fcaturo that especially distinguishes It from
other associations that the governing author
ity rests la the boards of directors of the va
rious companies. It is not to bo expected
that It should euro all the evils It has to dual
with , but it has certainly been of valuable
Interest to railway Interests. "

President Sillier Views the Situation
In nn Unpleasant Ijl lit.
New YOIIIC , Aug. 'J7. The annual rcportof
the St. Paul for the your ending Juno 30 wns
Issued today , it shows gross earnings of
$27,501,241 , an increase of $1,093,510 , ; oper
ating expenses , ? 18.U3Gr > 00 , an Increase of
$1,19-I02 ; ) ; not earnings. ? 9,1U ,72I. a decrease
of $9-1,880 ; the Income from other sources
amounted to 11,1:07 : , making a total Income
of f'J-171,031 ; ilxed charges were ? 7,237'J51 ,
leaving a balance of $ 'i'J3lliSO ; nftcrpayiug a
7 per cent dividend on preferred stock there
is a surplus of SO'JU.IGS. '
The company during the year obtained con
trol of the entire capital stock of the Mil
waukee & Northern road , giving its own
stock in exchange , share lor shnro. It re
ceived n 4 per cent dividend on its 01,5b3 ,
shores of Milwaukee & Northern stock ,
amounting to $340,330. In his report Presi
dent Miller takes u vev.v pessimistic view of
the situation. 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.
