'A committee from the Northsldo Improve
ment club appeared before the Board ot
County Commissioners yesterday and
asked that body to take some action lookIng -
Ing to the Improving of the roads In the
northern part of the city In the Immedi
ate vicinity of the exposition grounds. The
committee comprised II. W. Hlchardson ,
president of the Northslde club , P. W. Par
ker , J. V. Craig , 0. P. Franklin and 12. H.
Walker , the latter of Florence. The mem
bers of the board mot the committee In
formally nnd the business of the committee
was discussed briefly , but to the point.
Mr. lllchardson acted as spokesman for
the committee and said It had been ap
pointed by the Nortbsldo Improvement club
to appear before the commissioners and
ask them to take such steps as were pos
sible to assist the club and the exposition
managers In putting the streets and road
ways In the northern part of the city In
good condition by paving or otherwise Im
proving them. Ho made no suggestion as
to how this might bo done , but asked the
board to take the matter under considera
tion and dsvlseays and means for ac
complishing what the committee asked.
Sir. Walker suggested that the people to
the north had not derived any bsneflt from
the $150,000 voted for paving .bonds ft few-
years ago , and he asked If the balance of
approximately $22,000 Btlll remaining In that
fund might not be expended on tbo roads
leading to the north.
Chairman Slcnbcrg of the Toard replied to
the committee nnd said that the board was
glad to listen to any otalements the tax
payers of the county might make. He said
the board recognized the fact that there was
a great deal of travel Into the city from the
north and ho called attention to the fact that
the board had , within Uio past two years ,
expended considerable money on the roads
in that part of the county. Ho reminded the
committee that the resources of the board
wcro very limited and said that It was
prohibited from making any Improvements
on roads Inside of the city limits. The mem
bers of the board , ho ealJ , were as enthusi
astic In support of the exposition as anyone
in the city and ho promised that the board
would take such action within the limits of
its powrrs as would satisfy all. Sir. Stcn-
berg reminded the committee that the Toads
dnsldo ot the city limits on the county
roads were In much worse condition than
outside of those limits and he suggested that
the committee call on the city council and
have these roads put In a corresponding good
condition. Ilefcrrlng to the balance of $22-
000 in the paving bond funds , the speaker
said that the place and manner In which this
money should bo expended had not been
determined , the money having been held In
tbo treasury , pending the location of the
exposition.
Commissioner Klerstead expressed himself
in favor of aiding the exposition in every
way possible by Improving tha roads and
also adverted to a plan which has been occu
pying his thoughts for some time. This
plan contemplates the opening of the Twenty-
fourth street boulevard from its present
northern terminus through the land of F. W.
Parker and the Omaha Water company to
connect with the "river road , " which skirts
the westv bank of the Missouri for a considerable
siderabledistance. . Mr. Klerstcad said he
had beeri" in consultation with the officials
of the water company and they Tjad prac
tically agreed to allow the road to bo opened
along tbo1 east sldo of their reservoirs , on
the edge of the river bank. Mr. Klerstead
raid ho had also been In consultation with
the commissioners of Washington county
and they had signified their willingness to
co-operate in opening the road still further
north. Ho then appealed to Mr. Parker ,
who owns much of the land"through which
the road must pass in Omaha and Florence ,
to allow the road to bo opened through his
land. This would give a direct north road
for twelve miles and would divert travel
from Dlalr to Omaha. In closing Mr. Klcr-
Btcad said he would favor paving Thirtieth
street from the north city limits to the beginning -
ginning of the cinder roadway in Florence ,
a distance of about ono mile. He advised
the committee to Induce the city council of
Omaha to close up the gap now existing In
the paving of Thirtieth street between the
old fort land end the north city limits.
P. AV. I'arkcr. one of the committee ot the
North Sldo club , said ho stood ready at any
time to donate the right of way for a boule
vard through hi * land to tno north from the
present terminus of the Twenty-fourth street
boulevard and along the exposition grounds
whenever the city expresses a willingness
to construct such a roadway.
After more discussion of the matter the
business which brought the committee be
fore the board was referred to the committee
of the whole to oo taken up by the board foi
settlement and action.

the market by spicy advertisements. Dr.

Messrs. Klrkcntlall find Reed , who claim

been decided whether an appeal would be
taken or not.
The order of ealo directed to the ehcrlfl

the Judge refuped to allow the costs In llio

missioner , amounting to $1,207.05. The cpe
cl.il master In this case , J , I ) . Mclkle , eald
that the fco thus set aside was merely the
statutory fee , and would not bo payable
under the statute for the roafon that no sale
had lccn made , but ho added that this amount
would not have been paid In nny event , for
the reason that a stipulation Is on fllo in
this case In which It Id agreed that the fees

bo merely nominal , not exceeding $25 or $50.
In connection with this case , Mr. Mclkle
nays ho ban been put In n wrong light on

he was tbo only legal advisor 'of his cllanls

It was all * fight. A few minutes later the
two parto'l. Very shoitly after Johnson's
acquaintance discovered that a diamond
stud , which had been reposing on his shirt
bosom below the tie , was gone. He
naturally suspected Johnson of the Iheft and
so informed the police. 13y the tlmo the re
port was made , however , Johnson had crossed
the river to this clly , being ordered out of

I nnd the Cock : I'll Sunday
Service * DlnctiNNciIt
The regular monthly session of the Omaha
Ministerial association at the Kc/untzc
Memorial church yesterday was largely al-
tcnded. Dr. Lcard of the Knox Presbyterian
church was In the chair and announced that
exercises would embrace the reading ot papers
on "Sunday Evening Service" by Ilov. Alex
ander CJIlchrlst ot the Central United Pres
byterian church and Hev. Mr. Vowter ot the
First Christian church , and a supplemental
discussion.
Mr. GllchrUt thought the subject matter
ono of erpeclal Importance. The Sunday
evening service was the burden of nearly
every pastor's heart , and was ono of the
perplexing problems to bo met decisively.
The value ot the evening services seemed
to be determined largely by longitude and
latitude. Many of the Now England churches
had abandoned the evening service as not
being ot sufflclont value to Justify their
maintenance. Two question was now bslng
discussed elsewhere with a marked tendency
to follow the example ot the New Kngland
churches , but the further west , the lew no
ticeable the Inclination to depart front the
custom that had been observed for so many
yeais of holding elated services morning and
evening.
"Hlght here , too , the question Is some
what unsettled by the perplexities and dlo-
couragemcnts Incident to the second service , "
continued the speaker. "Just what the broth ,
ren In the cast have discovered to Induce
them to give up the evening service , or
substitute an afternoon meeting of Informal
character ta not very well understood. Is It
n lessening of Interest In religious matters , or
Is It a fact that the religious , moral and
social needs of the community can be better
met by having only morning service ? Are
life's conditions In the cast so different from
these In the west that it might not be alto
gether safe or wise to adopt a rule focre that
has been found to work well there. We
certainly find our evening services poorly
attended here , but does that Justify the con
templation of a dlmlnlal-mcnt of work ?
Should that cause us to abandon the serv
ice ? " The speaker thought not.
HOW TO GET ATTENDANCE.
"Are we using our best efforts to make the
evening service what It should be in point of
attendance ? " added Mr. Gllchrlst.
Ho thought a faithful , earnest and per
sistent effort on the part of the pastors would
result In a larger attendance. "Let the
service be attractive and helpful. Number *
nro not the chief consideration. Keep the
dlvlno word steadily and constantly In view.
Hold forth the Word of God. That Is In
finitely more Important than mourning over
small attendance. The gospel Itself In Its
purity and simplicity , in Its beauty and
majesty , should bo presented In our evening
service as Its chief attraction. It the
multitudes assemble what are the pastorj to
do for them ? They should not be merely
Interested In filling their pews for the time ,
to deHght their eyes and gratify their pride ,
nor attempt to merely entertain and amuse
these who throng the sanctuary. They had
better look pgaln at their crucified Lord. The
church Is not for purposes of amusement , or
for the discussion of affairs without Its
domain. The gospel Is as broad as human
llfo Itself , and It Is the ono duty to present
It in all Its manifold loveliness and saving
powers. "
Hov. Mr. Vawtejr had no paper prepared
and made- his Impromptu address short , butte
to the point. He dwelt at some length on
explaining why it was dlfllcult to obtain
large congregations at the evening service ,
and showed that it was not only the su
burban churches , but these down town as
well , that lacked this nightly attendance.
Still there was nothing that could make
him think these second services were not a
good thins and of incalculable benefit.
Preaching Christ's ivord to a. few was much
better than not preaching it at all.
"Let the plain unvarnished gospel be ex
pounded and the houses would fill up , " he
said : "Let the sermon bo the chief attrac
tion , but good music and attractive Illustra
tions on board or chart are no drawbacks
to its enhancement. Just so the machinery
employed did not hldo Christ , there was
no objection to it. Sensational preaching la
only an effort at Individual consplcuousness.
What was needed was the gospel , and the
gospel only. "
In the animated discussion which fol
lowed , the remarks of the two speakers of
the morning were almost unanimously en
dorsed , and there was nothing to Indicate a
desire on the part of any church or pastor
to discontinue Sunday's second service.
On motion a committee of five was ap
pointed by the chair to make an effort to
secure the services of the London evangelist ,
Dr. Valley , now In California , but headed
this way , for a series of special meetings in
this city.
Mr. Chase of the Christian Endeavor then
offered a set of resolutions that had been
drafted by the members of his society , en
dorsing house roll 447 , a bill now pending
In the legislature , and Introduced by A. 13.
Shelton ot Dawes county , providing for the
prohibition of all sorts of Sunday amuse
ments , such cs theaters , basa and foot ball
games , prize and chicken fights. They were
adopted as resolutions of the association.

Mnyoillroiilch I.lkly to Approve the
Ordinance.
Mayor Broatch has not entirely decided
what action he will take with reference to
the annual levy ordinance , but It IS now gen
erally expected that It will have his ap
proval. He called a meeting nt his onicc
Saturday afternoon , at which Henry W
Yates , E. A. Benson andla number of other
property owners , together with Treasurer
Edwards. Comptroller Woqtberg and City At
torney Council , were prqscnt. The comp
troller and treasurer exolalncd at length the
financial conditions that .confronted the city
and' the matter was then , discussed at some
length. The property owners present were
unable to come to any understanding In re
gard to the ordinance. Some of them sug
gested that the city ought to bo able to get
along with a lower levy , but when the pro
posed levy was submitted to them they were
unwilling to recommend any specific re
ductions. They thought thakthe library fund
might be reduced slightly , but agreed th.it
they did not wapt It done. They admitted
that the management of the library had been
as economically administered as possible anil
thought the board could safely bo entrustol
with the amount authorized.
The 3-mlirievy for park purposes was also
discussed at some length and some of the
property owners thought That It should be
arranged In some way that would pi event
the full levy In case the exposition should
not bo a go. In the end the conference left
the subject exactly where It found It.
Mayor Broatch Bald yesterday that ,
while ho could not say positively , ho thought
It very likely that he would sign the ordi
nance EWIIO tlmo during the day. He was
not personally dissatisfied -with the amount
of the levy , but thought It might have been
more wisely distributed between the various
funds.

numerous damage suits on account of per
sonal Injuries alleged to have been caused
by defective streets and sidewalks. It is
said that ono attorney ! has nineteen of these
coses. Some of the .cases are meritorious ,
and these It is the iiollcy of the legal de
partment to settle without suit If the claim
ants are disposed to accept a reasonable
sum. But It Is alleged that many of the
cases are entirely 'without foundation nud
ore trumped up In ord r to wring a few dollars
lars from the .municipal treasury. Several
cases have been Investigated In which it
was found that the claimants bad been in
jured by a fall or otherwise In their own
houses , and had then bunted up a hole In an
adjacent sidewalk andfinado it servo as the
cause of their Injuries.

J. F. Smyth , the man charged with stealing
the horeo and buggy of W. O. Bridges , and
who was captured at Atclilson , Kan. , with the
whole outfit In hla possession , was put on
trial In the criminal court yesterday.
Smyth has offered to plead guilty two or
three times , but each time , when brought
Into court , he has changed his mind and
refused to do so. Ho has also succeeded In
delaying Ills trial by pretending that he wao
trying to Interest the llrltlsh vice consul at
Kansas City In his case , Smyth claiming
to be a llrltlsh subject. Letters received by
the sheriff from the Hrltlsh representative
do not Indicate that that official takes very
much stock In Mr. Smyth's claims. When
Smyth was brought Into court yesterday
lie said he was not ready for trial , as he had
not heard from his friend , the vice consul.
Judge Baker told him , however , that the
trial would have to proceed anyway , and an
attorney was appointed to defend the pris
oner.
Sheriff Hartman of Atchlson , who arrested
Smyth , arrived In the city yesterday to
tertlfy In the case , bringing with him the
liveryman with whom Smyth lodged the
horse.

Five bids for resetting the curb on South
Sixteenth street , preparatory to repaying ,
were opened by the Hoard of Public Works
yesterday. The contract was awarded
to John McGowan , 'who ' was the lowest
bidder by 25 per cent. The other bids were
Surprisingly high. McGowan's bid was 11 0-10
cents per lineal foot for resetting and 49i !
cents for what now curbing was required.
Hugh Murphy bid 15 cents for resetting and
50 cents for new curbing. John Grant bid
t3',6 ' and 60 cents ; 13. Stenger , 19 and 75
ents , and the Barber Asphalt company , 18
uul 70 cents. McGowau's bid IB regarded
is being as favorable a figure for the city
is could bo expected , considering the fact
that all tbo sidewalks must be moved ami
Llio old trench filled. The bids for the re
paying will be opened Thursday.

We Sell Hats
For as much as throe dollars apiece. There are no
better hats sold , There are hats sold for five dollars , but
the extra two dollars is part too much profit and part
maker's name , If you like to pay for the maker's
name in your hat when you know it that's ) our busi-
ncss.and we have nothing to say. If you think of pay
ing more than three dollars for a derby under the im
pression that you arc getting a better hat than ourt hrce
dollar hat then we ask you not to do so until you have
seen ours. We will put our three dollar derby on a
table alongside of any higher priced one a"nd if you
can tell the difference without looking at the linings
you can do more than a great many good hat men can
do. We sell hats as low as 75 cents. Thuy arc full
stocky When you get 'a full stock derby for tluee
quarters of a dollar you are doing something that mil
lions of people in this country can't do. There arc also
millions of people in this country who pay three whole
dollars for derbies which arc not worth one dollar a
hundred more than those we sell under the name of
"The Nebraska Special" for one dollar and a half.
Hats come pretty close to men's brains , but lots of
people don't show much brains when it comes to buy
ing 'cm. There are other lots who do. That's why
we are talking hats today to reach fellows with brains.
