0L.ASG0W, March 2C The Rpars nnd
rlKKlng of Shntnrock II are now being
prepared for sotting up. They Include sev
eral new Ideas. One Is the abolition of tile
topmast and nil topmast fittings.
The boat will have, n single tnctnl Bpar,
tho larKcst ever fitted to any ship, mcasur
InR from step to truck IIS feet. This saves
tho extra 'vcIrIiI caused by the necessary
overlapping of the lower mast nnd top
mast and the weight of tho housing gear,
giving also, It Is thought, a better nnd
stronger brnced spar.
The Shamrock 11 will be unable to house
Its topmast lu the event of racing in n
gain of wind, but this only happened once
since tho America's cup racing began.
James Ward, tho managing partner of
Messrs. IJonny, the builders of the cup
challenger, Informed it representative of
the Associated Press that ho will have tho
Shamrock II ready by tho day llxcd for
tho launching, April 20. lie Is much struck
by tho Interest shown by tho workmen
employed on Its construction and considers
tho yacht's hull to be tho finest bit of ship

Forty-one deeds and eighteen mortgages
wcro filed at tho Douglas county court
house on Monday, which Is a larger number
than on any ono day slnco tho revenue
law wont Into effect. On Juno 30, 18P8,
the Inst day on which Instruments could
be filed without revenue stamps being
nftlxcd, Blxty-nlno deeds nnd thirty-two
mortgages wcro placed on. record.
For two weeks past with tho oxccptlon
of March 7. which was a stormy day tho
transfers of reul estate havo been showing
well. There have been few largo sales, but
a steady stream of small transactions, nat
ural to a market In which buying if homes
has been the chief feature. This period,
however, has been quiet In the real estate
offices on account ot tho snow nnd bad
weather.
Three of the trnnsfors recorded on Mon
day wero mado last summer, and thoro are
reasons to believe that n number of other
sales that havo been made In recent months
havo not yet been placed on record. Ono
owner of a largo quantity ot valuable prop
erty In tho west end of town haB sold five
resilience lota slnco January 1, not ono of
which has yet been recorded, mid several
other Instances ot this kind may be cited.
Ileal estate men frequently ropqrt that
they havo heard of sales ot which they
havo seen no record. An Interesting theory
wns advanced yoBterday by one agent to
explain this condition of nffalrs. Ho wad
talking about the big rush to file dccd-i
before tho revenue law came into effect,
and ho suggested that ninny peoplo might
bo holding back their deeds until after
July 1, when tho now rovenuo law becomes
operative, slnco under tho now law con
veyances whero tho amount Is below 2,o00
will bo exemptod from tnxatlon and on
larger amounts tho tax will be materially
reduced.
In addition to tho heavy transfers there
has been n marked Increaso in nctlvlty
In tho real cstnto offices this last week
of March. Ono rental agent advertised an
eight-room house In one ot tho most de
sirable parts ot town In Sunday's Uoo and
had two scoro of applications for It tho
next morning. All agents report that ad
vertising brings replies nowadays as It
never did before.
lliillroiiil Flics Its Deeds.
Three deeds wcro recorded on Monday
and another on Saturday last, which recall
the tight between the Burlington nnd tho
Northwestern Rullway compnnles for track
age on Klghth street, between Dodge and
Fnrnam.
Tho deeds represont the purchase of four
lols, each having 132 feet east frontage on
South Klghth street, by tho llurllngton road
after tho Northwestern had laid tracks
along tho west Bldo of this street. The
four lots cover tho entlro distance from
Far n.i m street to Howard. Tho llurllngton
has tracks up the two alleys between Far
nam and Harney and between Harney and
Howard, but In this lntter caso the tracks
up tho alley havo not yet been connected,
as tho Northwestern Is guarding Its own
trucks on Klghth street. Tho Northwest
ern, on the other hand. Is unable to com
plete Its trucks on Klghth whele they cross
tho llurllngton truck up tho other alley for
f a nlmllur reason,
hi some respects tho lots adjoining these
tra?ks, lu tho two blocks between Farnam
and Howard and between Klghth and Ninth,
would be especially valuable If tho rail
road companies could settle their differ
ences. Thero is now. an offer of $26,000
for one corner, where tho obi Oozrcns
bouse stuuda, uud It l largely because the
adjoining tracks of tho llurllngton are not
connected on Klghth street that tho owners
of this properly nro not nblo to get tho
higher price, which they hope to obtain
In order to ralso funds for tho new sem

Ono of tho deeds recorded on Monday
shows tho transfer of tho half-block be

from Clydo O'Connor to James Cosgrovc ot
tho north sixty feet of this same plcco for
$3,C00.
The block Is n small one, being ouly 106

Mr. Cosgrovo Intends to build on his
sllco two two-story modern seven-room
brick residences facing west nnd two othors
similar to them facing cast. They will be
what aro sometimes described as semi-detached
dwellings; that Is to say, two houses
will be built togother, but each with ono
side wall unattached. There will bo about
twenty-five feet between tho rear of each
pair of houses and space for n walk on each

C. D. Chapman, an old-tlrne Merrick
county farmer, baa bought aJ'J,CQQ borne in
Dundeo Place and his younger children will
havo tho benefits of a better education than
their father had,
Mr. Chapman Is about as sturdy a speci
men ot a Nebraska farmer as Is often met
with. Though over 60 years of age, he
declares ho can yet lift nny man In Mer
rick county, pulling squuro hold, with ono
bund, Ho Is fond of gymnastic and athletic
exercise nnd has turned a handspring every
year since he wns tt years old. Ho stands
G feet 3 Inches high nnd weighs 265 pounds.
When n youngster, back In Pennsylvania,
ho ran nwuy from school because tho other
children mudo fun ot his ragged clothes
and hired himself out for 10 cents n day
nnd bonrd. Ho saved up his money and In
a few years hnd bought a small plcco of
land. When tho war broke out he enlisted
and, as ho puts it himself, "became a pri
vate and was never reduced." At tho
termination ot hostilities ho found himself
In possession of $1,200 lu gold.
A few years later ho camo west with a
wifo and one child and horacsteaded 160
acres In Merrick county. Ho has stuck
to this place nil his llfo, adding to his
holdings from time, to time, by buying more
land at from $2 to $5 an aero. Recently
ho sold out. 610 acres for $16,000, an average
of $2.1 nn acre, and ho says ho has no
reason to complain that values have not
ndvnnced while ho has been In possession.
When ho sold his farm he also disposed
of stock and Implements, making another
$6,000 worth. For somo years ho was presi
dent of n Cent ml City hank, nnd ns he
had lived twonty-nluo years lu that vi
cinity, he was one of the host known as
well as ono of the most respected men In
tho county.
It has always been one of the principles
of Mr. Chapman's life to live up to his
word. One dny when ho was going to
town ho promised his boy u knife. It wob
n jilnc-mtio drlvo Into towu and the
promise slipped out of his mind until ho
wus within a mile of his homo on the
return Journey. Instantly ho turned the
horses a round nnd drove over tho road
again rather than fall In his promise.
Mr. Chapman has a wife and ten children
living, the youngest about 8. Ilo Is now a
wealthy miin. hn.ing many thousands of
dollars In mortgager and other Investments.
His eldest i-on. who wns n baby when he
enmo to Nebraska In 1S72, Is now 31.
I.imv Intercut on n Small I, mm.
A mortgage wns made a few days ago on
n South Tenth street house nnd lot at a
rato which Is considered low even In these
days of low Interest. It Is probably the
first time that a loan on city property In
Omaha was made at f per cent whero the
amount was so small ns $1,000. The se
curity In this case wns ample, being esti
mated at nbout $3,500, but tho borrower
was given tho prlvtlego, common In theso
