Two weeks ago the friends of A. D. Jones
fearod he was suffering from bis lost
Illness, but yesterday, In seemingly perfect
health and spry as a kitten, as ho expresses
It, he celebrated bis 87th birthday.
Mr. Jones Is one of tho oldest citizens
of Omaha and was this city's first post
master. In November, 1S33, lu company
with two companions, he first crossed the
Missouri river with tho Intention of finding
a slto for a home. Tho three men crossed
In a skiff which had long since been
pronounced unsenworthy. Ono man rowed
tho boat, another steered and a third baled
out tho water which rushed In through the
warped side of tho crazy craft. The skiff
came to land near the present site of Wil
low Springs distillery, the meu hnvlng
launched It opposite what Is now tho foot
of Farnam street.
Slnkr Out n Clnlm.
The party looked over the prospect and
staked out claims, that of Mr. Jones bolng
In tho southeastern part of town, the north
line extending near tho north side of the
present residence, of Herman Kountzc. Ho
named this claim "Parle Wild" and decided
to settlo thero for life.
Through tho Inllueuce of friends In Coun
cil Illuffs nnd Washington u postolllce wns
locate J n Omaha May t, 1S51, mid Mr. Jones
was appointed postmaster.
Sunday. August 14, 1654, the first religious
servlco was held In this city In tho St.
Nicholas hotel, and Mr. Jones led In the
singing.
It was In July, 1S54, that Mr. Jones laid
out tho city of Omaha, running the. lines
which still mark thu lots and blocks In
that part of tho city CHSt of Twentieth
street between Webster and Pierce streets.
A year later he engaged In tho business of
general merchant, in which he continued
for several years.
Mr. Jones wns born In Philadelphia. Jan

PAVING BILL IS PREPARED
City
Attorney mill V. S, Popple
ton Aerrr I'pon n
Slciimirr.
A compromlso paving bill will be Intro
duced In tho legislature next week to re
placo tho bills which were drawn up by
City Attorney W. J. Connell and W. S.
Poppleton.
The conference Tuesday night In the par
lors of the First National bank between tho
city attorney and tho advocates of tho Pop
pleton bill resulted In nn agrecmcut being
reached between tho ruction which Is sup
porting and tho faction which Is opposing
a continuation of tho petition system,
Mr. Poppleton and M. Connell were se
lected to draft a measure, which will con
tain part of tho provisions of the two bills
and will eliminate- objectionable features of
tho present law. The proposed bill will
hnvo the initiative In all paving tnken by
petition, hut will prevent tho contesting of
petitions after contracts hnvo been lot for
tho work.
Herman Kountze, Henry W. Yates, W. II.
flrecn, Samuel Rogers, E. M. Andreeseu and
many other taxpayers attended yesterday
night's meeting and took part In tho dis
cussion betweon Mr. Poppleton nnd tho
city attorney. Tho meeting lasted till
after 11 o'clock and before It ndjourned all
tho conflicting opinions concerning ttx
legislation were reconciled.
Mr, Poppleton contended that persons who
nro to pay tho taxes for special Improve
ments should have tho power of preparing
petitions and taking steps to bring about
paving. He Is opposed to allowing tho
council to Introduce, paving ordinances re
gardless of tho wishes of property-holders.
This, ho maintained, Is the reason he favors
petitions.
Mr. Connell expressed a willingness to
have work dono upon the petition of tnx
pacrs, providing such petitions cannot
afterward bo attacked and made the means
of defeating tho tax. To obviate litigation
concerning tho legality of petitions Mr.
Council suggested thnt a bill be drawn up
setting forth that paving shall bo laid after
a petition, "purporting to be a majority
petition," Is submitted to the council. At
prcfcnt "majority petition" is used without
nny qualifying words and the mero proof
that a petition is not a majority petition
defeats tho tax for an entire district.
Mr. Connell would allow all signers, or
alleged signers, of n petition to contest sl;
n&turiH nnd question tho validity of a po
tltlon before a contract Is let. He would
publish the petition ofllcinlly and give every
chance for errors to bo exposed, but would
estop any contracts after the work baa been
done.
The suggestions of Mr. Connell met with
favor and men who have been supporting
tin- Poppleton measure expressed n will
ingness to have it changed in such a man
ner thnt it will Include tho cstoppal of all
tax miration in cases wherein nn oppor
tunity has been given taxpayers to protest
before the work was contracted.
"No constitutional question Is Involved In
tho amendments I have suggested," the city
attorney said, In discussing tho mattor.
"The legislature has a right to enact such
a measure. It will simply requlro us to
prove In tax contests that a petition was
tiled, while under the present law It Is nce
isiary to provo that n majority petition was
filed."

llnsliful tlro.int nml ii Itrlile KeeU
to Ksenpe the Curious li e of
Thrlr elnhor nml luter
rstliiK decile IJiioues.
There was n disappointed wedding party
at tho court house yesterduy. It was com
posed of the flower of the youth of
Chicago precinct und they came to town
In all sorts of country conveyances, from
top buggies to market wagons, for tho
purpose of witnessing the ceremony that
was to mako a happy family of Harry
Lclsenbcrg and Delia Clifton.
Harry Is one of the most popular young
men In the precinct and enjoys a local
reputation for daring deeds, but when a
shaft from Cupid's quiver dnrted luto his
heart ho became ns meek and timid as any
lamb on his farm. He had won the heart
and hand of Delia Clifton, a rcd-chcokcd
country girl whoso beauty had nttractod
many suitors, but when It came to parndlng
with his bride-elect before nil audience the
lucky young farmer balked.
Try to 1'senpe Friends.
Harry planned to meet his fiancee at day
break yesterday morning nnd drlvo with her
In all hasto to tho Douglas county court
house, where they could havo the nuptial
knot properly and artistically arranged
without gonernl observation. Tho young
people of tho precinct, however, were on tho
lookout. They hnd posted a trusty sentinel
at tho girl's houso before sunrise for the
purpose of detecting the elopmcnt, which
they suspected was on tho cards.
The sentinel, from behind n hedge fence,
witnessed the departure of the bridal party
and immediately alarmed the wholo pre
cinct. Thirty minutes after tho young
couple wero on their way to tho court houso
almost every maiden and single man In
Chlcngo prcclnrt was bended In tho samo
direction.
Followed to Court IJnu-e.
Hnrry and Delia renched tho court houso
a llttlo after 11 o'eloek and llfteon minutes
later, beforo Hnrry Morrill had written out
tho license nnd before Judgo Vlusonhaler
had put In an appcurnnco, tho uninvited
wedding guests began to nrrlve In great
numbers. Soon the corridors of tho old
building wero crowded with tho merry
country boys and girls, who thought they
had sprung such a flno surprise party upon
their friend Harry and bis brlde-to-bc.
Lclsenbcrg was up to snuff. Ho saw the
crowd In the corridors nnd knew their In
tention was to break Into tho Judgo's otllco
nnd witness tho ceremony. So the minute
the Judgo put In nn appearance nnd Just ns
the forbidden guests were about to enter
ho turned tho key In the door, with no ono
present for the ceremony but tho olllclatlng
magistrate, tho clerk and tho parties of
first Interest.
After tho ceremony was over Judge Vln
sonhalcr stepped out into the hall und
was told thnt nt tho next election ho need
not expect to carry Chlcngo precinct.
Chicago precinct went on rerord right
then and there ns against marriages be
hind locked doors.
