A now Sixteenth street viaduct Is at last
a certainty. At a conference yesterday i
afternoon with City Knglneer Uosowatcr and j
City Attorney Conncll , President Hurt of |
ho Union 1'aclflc announced that his road j
s ready to build a structure that In the
main will < be what the city wants and -what
City Hnglnccr Kosewater planned some six
mouths ngo. President Hurt also stated that
work on the viaduct would be commenced
n the near future , and will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
Only one point has been conceded by the
city to the railroads. Instead of being a
straight line from Pierce to Leavenwortb , j
as City Knglneer Ilosewater has desired , the
viaduct will be curved In the center , some
thing like the present viaduct. The grade
will bo a little more than 3 per cent. The
grade on the present structure Is about 3\4
per cent. This concession wns made In
order to save the expense of the longer sup
ports that would be needed If the viaduct
were built on n straight line.
As City Knglneer Hoscwater has Insisted ,
the new viaduct will be built of stone , steel
and Iron , and with very little wood. It will
be wider than the present structure , room
being given for vehicles on either side of
the street car tracks. The total width will
bo a little over forty-four feet. The walks
on either side will be five feet Inwidth. .
The street car tracks will be about sixteen
feet , so that on either side of them there
ll too a roadway of about nine feet In
width.
The roadway will be paved with asphalt ,
while the sidewalks will bo of artificial
stone. This was one point that the city
officials insisted upon. City Engineer Rosewater -
water Is satisfied that the viaduct will be a
good substantial structure In every way.
It will be several days before the plans
will bo completed. The city engineering de
partment and the engineering force of the
Burlington and the Union Pacific roads are
at work upon them. Inasmuch as the main
points In the viaduct have been agreed upon ,
the rest Is .1 matter of detail and no diffi
culties are expected to arise. The Burllng-
ton will acquiesce In plansi with which the
Union Pacific Is satisfied.
The cost of the structure will bo In the
neighborhood of $100,000. It will take some
three months to complete It after the work
Is started.

On the afternoon of April 1 Robert Taylor ,
a guest at the Mlllard hotel , lost his pocketbook -
book , containing in cash and a dratt la-
sued by tlie Ida Grove ( la. ) bank for $500.
Ho notified the bank by telegraph and by
letter concerning his loss and paid no further
attention to It , as he thought the book might
have been stolen.
Sunday afternoon an unknown man tele
graphed from the Union depot offlco to the
Ida Cro\e bank asking for the names of the
bank's Council Bluffs correspondents. The
message vas signed by Robert Taylor and
requested that the answer be sent to the
Union depot.
Mr. Reed of the Ida Grove bank became
suspicious upon receiving the message and
notified Acting Chief Donahue , who re
quested him to hold the answer until 12
o'clock Monday. Meantime Captain Donahue
telephoned to the Mlllard hotel , where he
found Mr. Taylor , who said ho had not seat
any such message.
Detective Savage , who was detailed to
watch 1ho telegraph office , waited around
patiently until Tuesday night without get-
ling a glimpse of tils man. Wodnssday
morning ho went to the Mlllard hotel to
search among the employes for a man an
swering the description ) given by the tele
graph girl , who took the message. Ho sized
up Fred Heln , a. dishwasher , as the man and
took him down to the depot. The girl Iden
tified him positively as the man who hod
written the message , and so ho was Jailed.
Heln was suspected last winter of having
robbed a French cook of a sum of money ,
but the police were unable at that tlrno to
make a caeo against him.

OH on Due Attention ,
Last evening In the parlors of the First
Presbyterian church the parishioners held
their annual congregational meeting and
banquet. The meeting was a business ses
sion , presided over by John \Vharton. . and
the annual reports o { the various depart
ments of the church were read and adopted.
The banquet , being one of the most en
joyable social events of the year , was an
elaborate affair and In point of interest took
precedence o\cr the meeting , for the reason
that of an attendance numbering 250 the
majority were women prominent In society
mid church work. The men , although out
numbered , took an nctlvo part In making
the aflulr a success by reason of their abil
ity as spcechmakers.
The parlors where the banquet was held
wcro artistically decorated with the stars
and stripes and accessories to carry out the
Idea of the national colors. Huge Hags pen
dant from the colling along the walls were
gathered In festoons and loops. The many
electric globes were covered with fantastic
shades of red , whlto or blue and on all the
tables were \ascs of red and whlto carna-
tlons and roses.
The young women of the church , attrac
tively attired In whlto aprons , Kerchiefs
and caps , presided at the tables.
When after an hour of feasting and lively
conversation the plates were removed pro-
paratory to the Initial toast , one and all
declared the repast the best , the most ap-
proprlato and most successful ever held.
The toastmaster was John C.Vharton ,
who presided with his customary dignity ,
The first toast , "Our Church , " was re-
sponded to by George F. nidwell. Other
toasts and responses were : "Our Ladles , "
, Mrs. L. S. Skinner ; "The Society of Chrls-
tlan Endeavor , " Jomea H. Adams ; "Our
Sunday School , " Miss Leda Wilson. Rev.
{ F. S. Stein of Lincoln was called on for a
brief address and ho chose for a subject ,
"The Social Side of Church Work. "
HllNlllCNN hL'KNlllM.
When the business session was called to
order John C. Wharton was chosen chair
man and the election of trustees was held.
There were four vacancies to flll , three re
sulting from expired terms and one due to
the resignation of Mr. Baldwin. The trus-
i j tecs selected were : C. E. Yost , J. H. Adams ,
Thomas Crelgh and E. M. Morsman.
| i The treasurer's report showed the annual
1 receipts to be $5,394.07 and the expenditures
'
$5,601.03.
The treasurer's report of the Ladles' Aid
society recorded receipts amounting to
$1,252.50 and expenses amounting to $133.70.
The Young People's society received dur
ing the year $475.29 and paid out $460.64.
The Sabbath school recel\ed $370.41 and ex
pended a sum $4 In excess of this amount.
As the church lacked just $530 to begin
the fiscal year out of debt , that sum was
raised by subscription. The women who ar
ranged the banquet and to whom a vote of
thanks was given were as follows :
Mesdames Tllden , Allen , Kenward , Offutt ,
Llndsey , Mllroy , Wllhelm , Pennock , Crelgh ,
Luddlngton , Dtdwell , Alfred Kennedy , How
ard Kennedy , Jr. , Adams , Tlbbs and Misses
Hanley , LIndBey , Adams , Wilson , Buck.
"Give mo a liver regulator and I can regu
late the world , " said a genius. The druggist
handed him a bottle of DC Witt's Little Early
Risers , the famous little pills.
The Commercial club is pushing forward
and proposes to do everything possible for
the adancement of the -Magic City. It Is
asserted that South Omaha needs a tannery ,
a canning factory , a statvh factory , a first-
class foundry nnd another cooper shop. Sec
retary Owens Is In communication with sev

Augvsl PapcIs preparing to circulate n
petition for the paving of M street from
Twenty-fourth to Twenty-fifth streets. Mi.
Papez owns 117 feet front on the north side
of M f-treot and he hopes to Induce the othei
owners of property on Uwl street to sign
a petition asking for the paving of tlib
block. It Is thought that there will bo no
difficulty about securing the signature of th
custodian of fho go\ernment building to ths
petition and if this Is done all of the prop
erty owners on the north fcldo will be so-
cured. On the south Bide there may b&
sumo dllllculty , but Mr. Papcz asserts that
ho will UBO every endeavor in his power to
Indueo the ownws to sign the petition. A
good brick pavement IB desired and tht ,
cost per lot will not amount to mudi. as
such pa\eroent Is now laid \ery cheaply.

of It he saye "I was taken with Typhoid
Fever , that ran Into Pneumonia. Mj lungs
became hardened. I was so weak 1 couldn't
even sit up In bed. Nothing helped me. I

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the Signature of
The fact that the " CAPADURA " cigar costs but five cents does not
mean that it is a five-cent cigar.
The average good ten-cent cigar cannot equal it in the smoking quality.
It is a long filler , clear Havana with a selected Sumatra wrapper.
It is made and graded with as much care as cigars that cost two or three
times as much.
It is Pcrfecto shape and 4' inches long. You can buy bigger cigars for
the money , but no nickel cigar on earth equals it in quality.
It is alwa\s reliable always a clear , free , aromatic , satisfying smoke.
See that it is wrapped as shown in the cut , and sec that the pouch has not
been broken.
At all cigar stores.
The CAPADURA cigar is made by Kerbs , Wcrtheim & Schiffer ,
