Mrs, Johnson was shown Carter at tho

Identify him as the fellow who robbed her.
She said that while be resembled her as

The point that tho striking plumbers con
tended for most was the discharge of alt
helpers, and this prevented a settlement of
tho difficulties In the early days of tho
walkout. The bosses declined to entertain
this proportion for one moment and tho
union plumbers finally, gave way and agreed
to allow the bosses to retain the helpers
which they now have until they had com

PLAN-
TO
WIDKN
DROADWAY.
Alilermnu llnmmer Thlnkn It Can Me
Done by Tapering.
Alderman Hammer has a Bchcmo on foot
to Increase tho width ot the sidewalk on.
tho north side of Broadway beginning at a
point opposite Fourth street and from there
to Bryant street. The proposed plan Is to
widen the walk from ono foot to four feet
In the center of this block and then taper
oft again to one foot at Bryant street.
This portion of Broadwny is much trav
eled and It Is generally conceded that tho
sidewalk Is too narrow, this being particu
larly true In front ot the Odd Fellows' tem
ple. At tho time tho Odd Fellows were
erecting their temple Alderman Hammer,
as ono of the building commltteo, went be
fore, the city council and secured permission
to extend the entrance steps and an area
way three feet onto the sidewalk. This has
greatly cramped the sidewalk at thU point
and Alderman Hammer now wants tho city
to widen tho walk In front of this building
at least four feet. ,
At a point opposite Fourth street Broad
way takes a Jog and In order lo .give the
pavement as uniform, an appearance as pos
sible when widened. It Is proposed to start
with an additional ono foot, grndually In
creasing It to about four feet in front of the
temple and then to taper- off, again' togone
foot at the Intersection of Bryant1 street.
Broadway Is wider between these blocks
than anywhere- else and traffic will not be
Interfered .with la taking sufficient, of the
street to widen the sidewalk.
'The quostion to be considered will be the
cost, as It Is understood It will have to be
borne by the city and not by the property-
owners. Alderman Hammer, It Is said, may
meet with some opposition owing to the po
sition he took In the matter of tho request
of the Omaha Brewlpg association for tho
vacation of three feet of tfio sidewalk on
Scott' street In order to enable It to erect
a three-story structure on tho bIIo of tho
old Nonpareil building. Some ot tho alder
men do not regard Hammer's policy ln the
matter as consistent. He was particularly
activo in securing permission for the Odd
Fellows to take up three feet of the side
walk on a thoroughfaro that is traveled
more than any other ln tho city, but op
posed the granting of three feet to other
parties oft a street that Is little traveled In
comparison to Broadway and where even
with tho three feet oft there would still be
eleven feet ot Bldewalk.
Those In favor ot granting tho request of
the Omaha Brewing association point to
the fact that the First National bank, .when
rebuilding Its present quarters at Main
street and Broadway, was permitted to use
three feet ot the sidewalk' for an areaway.
Tho same Is true ot the Baldwin block at
Pearl and, Broadway, the Sapp building at
Scott street and Broadway and ot the Bluff
City laundry building on North Main street.
Alderman Hammer said be expected to
bring up the matter of widening tho side
wulk on Broadwny at the meeting of the
city council tonight.

Reports from nations at 7 P, M.
to extend tbo water mains to tho slto for
tho post.
This Is easier pledged than accomplished.
Tho nearest water main to tbo site Is two
miles from the city limits, and from that
point to the poBt slto Is n mile nnd n half.
Tho city council has ordered the water
company to construct tho main to tho city
limits, but it has no power to compel the
company to do so. A committee will this
week, go cast to Interview the owners of
tho water plant arid try to Induce them
to Immediately construct tho main to tbo
post site. It may be necessary to pass
around a subscription paper and ralso the
money to pay for the extension across the
country. But until tho water Is furnished
the army post scheme lies dormant. It has
been a pet project of Congressman Hull
and others for many years and thcro Is
much chafing over tbo delay.
'Many New Telephones.
The Increase ln the number of telephone
companies doing business In Iowa ' Is re
marked upon by everybody. New com
panies to operate telephones are being
organized practically every week. Tho state
auditor had printed 250 sets ot blanks to
send out to companies t for returns for
taxation purposes, suppq'slng this would
bo sufficient because there were only 175
But ho has
had to print 200 more sots of blanks be
cause of tne great lncrcn'so In number ot
telephone companies. The reports must all
be In by May 1 and' the assessment Is made
ln July. The telegraph companies also
make simitar reports. The report ot the
Postal company Is In, showing 057 miles ot
poles ln Iowa.
Seedlasr Practically All Done.
'Reports from the stateV Indicate that
practically all tbersow)rig of smalt grain
Is now done ln Iowa, the season being
much later than usual. The 'acreage put
to spring wheat, especially In the northern
part ot the state, Is larger than usual, a
great many farmers feeling that the season
is likely to ,bo unfavorable to corn grow
ing and other forms ot farming.' For the
samo reason there has been much grass
seed Bown and pastures Will be plentiful.
Tho demand for seed has been large. No
corn planting has as yet been attempted
nnd plowing li retarded, but during tho
next thirty days work will be very activo.
There Is still general complaint over the
condition ot tho roads In tho stato, and
good roads movements are reported from
many sections.

OLD STOIIY REVAMPED.
Clothes Slan Works a flarkeeper Into
a Huge.
Over on the west side Is a benevolent
looking old German, who runs a. little sa
loon, relates tho Chicago Chronicle. Thcro
is Kiind on tho floor of tho little tippling
place nnd tho odor at sausago and H.iucr
kraut hangs heavy ln tho room, but It has
Its clientele
Now, tho German nobcr and tho German
Intoxicated Is different. Ills bcncvolcnco
fades nway as his drinks Increase, until
thcro is a tlmo when his stolid Teutonic
naturo Is nearly as fiery us the llery Celt's.
It wus In this mood that two of his friends,
practical Jokers, cuught him tho other night
and perpetrated a Joke upon him that has
added fi few gray hairs to his townled wig.
The German Is ncar-slghtcd nnd his ta
looit Is illuminated by two rather smoky
lamps. On this especial evening his
physical disabilities were augmented by
tho number of drinks he had managed to
dispose of, nnd when three men entered he
couldn't have sworn as to, tho number that
lined up to tho bar.
Now tho two friends had surreptitiously
removed a clothing store "dummy" nnd
had brought It with them. Each grnsped
an arm, and when they cast anchor before
the bar they Introduced tho saloon keeper
to tho "dummy." explaining to tho German
that It was a friend of theirs who desired
to buy a drink.
Tho drinks were nlaced nn thn hnr nnri
tho two Jokers tucked thclr's away. Then
they slipped from the room. Tho third man
stood Immovable beforo tbo bar, his drink
still untouched.
"It vns a prlddy coldt nlghdt, yedt," ven
tured tho saloon keeper.
No response.
"Dot speech' of Bryan's at der Sherman
house vos preddy goodt, alrctty," he said
again.
Still tho man beforo the bar kept his
silence, looking stolidly at htm. The Ger
man ventured a few other remarks, which
were treated with the samo contemptuous
silence, whereupon ho became nnery and
demanded that the silent ono settle for tho
drinks. Still there was no response. Then
tho German flew Into a great rage. Grasp
ing a bungstarter he leaned across tho
bar and smote the silent one on tho head.
There was a crash and tho dummy lay on
the floor.
The crash had been awaited by tho two
Jokers outside. They rushed Into the room
and one, getting down on his knees, half
screnmed:
"My God, Gus, you've killed him."
"Veil," said tho hnlf-crazod German, try
ing to nut ud a defense, "vot for dldt he
vant to pull u knife, on me, den?"
Watchmaker's Epitaph.

Here lies. In horizontal position,
the outside case ot
George Routlelgh, watchmaker,
whose abilities In that lino wera an honor
to his profession.
Integrity was the Mulnspring, and Prudenco
mo iicguiaior
of all tho Actions of his life.
Humane, generous and liberal,
his Hand never stopped
till he had relieved distress.
So nicely regulated wcro his motions,
that ho never went wrong,
except when set going
by people
who did not know his key;
even then he was easily
ict right ngaln.
Ho had the art of disposing his time so well
that his hours glided away
ln one continual round
of pleasure and dollght,
till an unlucky mlnuto put a period to
his existence.
He departed this life
