edged by musicians the world over to bo ono
of TOO greatest masters of the violin. The
listener is instinctively impressed by bis
nianuor of playing. He frequently closes
his eyes , nnd a smile occasionally
plays over his features as bo too listens to
the music his magic touch creates. At times
his very soul seems to flow out through the
strings of his Instrument , which seems
almost to speak under his touch , to sing in
response to his caresses , to cry out in pain
as ho strikes it harshly , then soothes it
again into sweetest melody with a last
caress. The great violinist receives ovations
whirover ho appears , and not to hear him in
Omaha will be a great mistake for anyone
who loves the sweetest music. Ho will bo
assisted by the following capable artists :
Mrs. Alice Rice , soprano ; Mr. W. H. Fessen-
don , tenor ; Miss Edith McGregor , contralto ;
MUs Fanny Berry , pianist.

Lands In the near vicinity of cities thai had
been looked upon as useful only for farming
nurposos. and likely to remain In that condi
tion for years , have boon in a surprisingly
short tlmo wanted by the homo sockors , who
bavo converted meadows and cornfields into
city additions.
KITcct of lloom Speculation.
In addition to the centralization of popula
tion in cities there has also been a corresponding
spending tendency toward the centralisation
of capital in vast business ontorprlsos. Com
panies and corporations uro organized every
day , with capital stook that a few years ago
would have been looked upon as enormous ,
but which at the present tlmo does not oven
excite comment. Thb development of great
business enterprises has created an increased
doaand for business .property in every pros
perous city , and accordingly values on this
class of real estate show a corrcsoondlag ad
vance.
With the s a mo conditions existing and the
same forces at work in all the promising
clues of the country , it was not stranco that
capitalists should have boon attracted by the
certainty of largo profits to bo made from in
vestments In good city real ostato. From
1SS4 city property as on Investment grew
rapidly 'in favor with capitalists , and the
hamlsomo profits realized in most cases only
whetted the nppotlto for more. This led to
tbo so-called boom In city property , which
culminated in 1887. Instead of long tlmo in
vestors. operating on a conservative and
thoroughly businesslike plan , there sprung
up an array of speculators , who bought
one day expecting to sell at an advance
the next. As if thoroiwero not cities enough
in the country for their purposes , the ooom-
crs created 'now cities without number ,
cities that had an existence only on paper.
The Pacific coast nnd southern states wore
especially prolific in those paper cities.
The wildness of Huts speculation and the
great extent to which.Mt was carried on pre
cluded the possibility of its long existence.
When the bubble at last did burst it .ict'Only
opened the eyes of investors to thou-htnj
Oiltty of speculative values in the paper
cities but unfortunately made thorn very
timid about investing/ in first class property
tn the- solid cities of the country.
To this cause must bo largely ascribed the
period of qulot iu "city real estate transac
tions that has prevailed since 18S8. Some
cities in the country have suffered quite
severely from-tho reaction brought about by
excessive speculation And from the loss of
confidence on tbo partjpf investors.
CGooil
Omaha has been more fortuuato than mrst
other cities in respect to her real estate
market. When the boom was at its height
in other cities there was great activity in the
Omaha real estate market but tbo business
was not carried to such an extremis as to be
come a menace to the city's prosperity.
Much of the property disposed of fell into
tbo hands of pacplo who contemplated im
proving it at some fiuuro date. The prop
erty that was bought for purely speculative
purposes was- mostly held by people able to
meet the payments , so that only a small per
centage was allowed to go back when the
speculative demand fell oft.
Speculative values in the outlying addi
tions were pushed up moro rapidly in some
localities than was justifiable , owing to the
largo number of small speculators with only
capital enough to handle chean lots on easy
payments. Since 18i > 8 the process of liquida
tion has been going on steadily until tbo
holders of most of these low are entirely out
of debt. The city Dos also expanded and
built up to and beyond many of these adai-
tioas , so that oven If the purchasers paid too
much five years ago the property Is now
worth all or moro than it , cost them.
While property in the far-out additions
was sometimes carried beyond its uctual
value by tbo speculators , Insldo property did
not advance any more rapidly than the
material trrowth of the city und was "a pur
chase" at any time. Slnco the cessation of
the speculative fever In 1837 the city has
been rapidly improving , while real estate
values bavo been looked upon as stationary.
If the values on inside property were not ex
cessive ia 1SS7 or IbSS it would follow that
they must bo low ut tbo present tlmo ,
taking Into consideration the growth of the
city.That
That values on inside property are low
oven the most conservative business men are
claiming and a careful review of the facts
would verify fie statement.
The real estnto situation in Omaha
summed up in a few words is this , the city
in Its growth has overtaken the speculative
values placed on outside property , und has
gone beyond the values on inside property.
There is n growing sentiment that property
iu Omaha is today lower than it will over bo
again , Thojo who have watched the cur
rents of events already note renowoa inquiry
for property as people with money como to
see the opportunities awaiting them.
Nothing In the nature of a boom is antici
pated , but as the bank deposits will prove
there is plenty nf idle capital seeking invest
ment and a largo percentage of this is likely
to go Into real ostato.

Mr , J , P. Blalze , an extensive real estate
dealer In this city , narrowly escaped ono of
thu severest attacks of pue'umoum wbtlo In ,
the northern part , of the state during the recent -

arivosevor.il miles during the storm and was
so thoroughly cbillud that bo was unable to
get warm , and insklo of on hour after bis re
turn ho was threatened with a .suvoro case of
pneumonia , or long fever. Mr. Blaizo sent
to the nearest a rug stare and got n bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough/Uemedy , of whlnh hn

doses. Ho nays tha effect was wonderful
and that in a short timo--bo was urontblng
