Ton Fleming has become Millionaire.
The Omaha left fielder has gone to Tom
Bora and the Colorado Springs base ball
team. Ha did to with the full consent of
Manager Rourke, a ad supposedly on the
nm aalarr that "Pa Bill" wn paying
him. Fleming irlll take the place of Bar
rett, who baa been playing; left field for the
westerners. Tom did not play in yester
day's cama, but left with the MUlioraires
last evening for their some town.
This change In the personnel of the Gate
City group has been expected -for some
time. Fleming- has beeu notoriously dis
satisfied in 'tis position with Omaha. Ha
was drawing; good money, but felt that he
eras not high in popular favor, and the
bringing back of Stone added to bis sorrows.
Hs was piqued and has been dickering with
Sacraments to Join that west ooaM aggre
gation. His wife's poor health is another
Incentive for him to locate on sea or moun
tain country.
When Stone was loaned to Peoria Rourka
offered to 1st Fleming go there. Hs re
fuaed to make the change. So Stone went.
Last seek .mgtlara cane to a -final point
with Stone's, return. Fleming told Rourke
be wanted to get out. Rourke . said , he
would carry the fielder along the season
through If hs wished to stay. Tom said he
did not cars to stay and sit on the bench.
Then Tom Burns, who. ass looking for. a
chance to strengthen his outfield, ; began
negotiations. Rourke told Fleming to go
ahead if he could oome to terms with Burns,
and Tom did so.
Staae Fwrmaa.atly Place.
'I shall sow play Srene permanently in
left field." said Manager Rourke. "That
will put Genlna in middle field between the
two young sues. and- hs can thus watch
both of them. Frank will play today, and
hie choulder is almost welL My learn per
sonnel ia now Just what It will be the sea
son through, wrtn one exception I shall
keep all these four pitchers and Eddie Gor
doavwiil make a fifth oa June -L Fire la
not too many tor 'the class of team I have
thla season.
' Ths exception mentioned by Rourke is
Dave Calhoun. Though he is known, ss a
tepaotch first baseman asd ons of the beat
tB ths league, bis permanency depends upon
good conduct. Rourke thinks now that Dave
will play ths season out all right, hut if he
does sot Thomas will make a good rubstl
tats, and a new substitute catcher will be
secured. Oalhoun has sot yet recovered
from his "sickness" of last Saturday, but
SrtU be in the game again shortly, .

A large feres of workmen started this morn
ing to extend the long west bleacher 190 feet
' farther to the north, running It clear to the
north fence. In addition to this twenty
four boxes, seating six people each, will be
.built along in front of the grandstand on a
level with Its floor. In the center of this
grandstand will be the press box. directly
behind the boms plats. 'With' this box oc
commodatlom Roarke expects to get sat to

. . Matter.
The Omaha Gardeners' association has
organized an auxiliary street cleaning de
partment under ths supervision ot ons of
its officers. The duty of this department
Is to keep clean the streets and walks
within ths area of Howard aad Eisventh
streets which has been squatted upon by
the gardeners pending ths settlement of the
market house question.
"When ws found that we would bs un
able to sell anything on the Capitol avenue
site," said a member of the association,
"we decided to return to the old stand
on Howard street. Ws soon found that
while ws might be permitted to remain
there temporarily, we would receive bo
attention from ths city. Decayed vegeta
bles, spoiled fruit aad skins trvm bananas
and oranges began to accumulate ia the
street, and tbe place became unwholesome
la ths extreme. Some ot our members
feared that persona owning or occupying
property la tbe neighborhood would make
complaint, and as the city was la no posi
tion to keep tbs place clean, ws decided
to organise a street cleaning depart meet
of our owa. We did this all ths more
readily because the cify is not receiving
ths usual fees from the gardeners, the
market inspector making no vlalta to this
place. Ths members who favored the Idea
said that property owners and others might
have causa for action agatnst as for main
taining a nuisance If the street was not
classed. The party engaged will start ta
work Monday morning aad wo expect to
have no more decayed vegetation oa the
street-" - - '

aaea.
The Omaha populace wai on a heels Sun
day. Most of It moved in s-.reet csrs, a
lit tl i of It in automobiles and the rest In
carriages, runabouts, surreys, golf wagons
and those other vehicles thst people used
to call Just plain buggies, but which now
have more titles than a Chinese nobleman.
Tbs nickel crowd had to move along
certain rail-prescribed - paths as straight
and rectltudlnous as tbe way of them that
walk In righteousness; the chauffeurs lig
sagged wherever they could pass the most
people with the least safety; the horse
contingent took to the 'country drives and
the tall timber.
Nobody knows how many people In Omaha
have equlppagea of their own not even tbe
assessors, who are supposed to. But It Is
an easier matter to learn bow many rent
them. The Bee telephoned to the twenty
five leading livery bams and learned that
at 4 o'clock there bad been taken out or
reserved for evening 131 double rigs and
S5 single.
Estimating five persons for each ot the
former, which is a conservative estimate,
as many were traps holding six or more,
there wers 655 Individuals In the first class.
Estimating two for each of the singles, there
were 71$ in tbe latter claaa. The total,
accord It g to leading mathematicians, would
be 1,37$.
This showing Is apt to create some dis
content. Leonora Madeline Lucette Smytbe,
who sat in the front parlor all afternoon
making things pleasant for young Mr. Al
gernon Fitzgerald Browne, is apt to grow
feverish In wondering why she wasn't one
of the 1.373. And so Is Lena Madge Lucy
Smith, who sat in the back kitchen all aft
ernoon doing the same thing for Al Fits
Brown. Next Sunday it will be up to
Messrs. Biewne and Brown to show that
they are not the cheap men they seem. It
Is the Provider, with a capital P, who wins
milady and what's coming to her from pa
ia these daya of thrift and speculation.
A traveling man sat out In frost ot a
hotel yesterday and expatiated on the sig
nificance of the crowd a'wheel.
'Ever since tbe siege ot Troy, men have
been using horses to obtain their ends,"
he said. "I'll bet every farm boy and vil
lage store clerk in this state is out todsy
with a 'rig' and a girl. I've been there
myself. I used to live) over In Iowa when
a youag fellow and I can distinctly remem
ber ths Sunday program.? I had a colt that
I had broken at a cost of three ribs, and
a buggy I had bought at a -cast of two years'
saving aad a pet heifer. -, I had alao a whip,
a fancy lap robe and a black suit that
went with ths rig. That suit was somber
as aa undertaker's and eavy aa a buffalo
robe, but it was full dress with ins and
always worn when I drove- over to 'my
girl's.' The sweat woul trickle down both
sidei of my face at once, my feet hurt.
my collar choked and I drove like an lce
manbut it was 'buggy riding,' so I stood
for it all and thought I was ths real thing.
These young chaps In Omaha nowadays
don't drive much better nor look much
mors comfortable, and-, ths secret of tbs
situation Is the same."

WATER COMPANY HAS TWO YEARS MORE
txplratloa of Its Fraaehlao May
Plot. However, Flad City Flaaa
clallv Able ta Bay a
Plaal.
There is considerable talk about ths city
voting bends and erecting lta owa water
works and electric light plants. The water
company franchise expires ia two years,
ahile the electric light franchise has over
twenty years yet to run. Some cay that by
the city erecting a plant of lta owa it ran
furnish water asd light to consumers at a
moth less rate than la being paid now.
While tbe scheme Is only In Its Infancy,
objections are already being made. In
connection with tbe water proposition It
is asrerted that If water be taken from ths
river at thia point It will contain a great
amount ot refuse dumped Into the stream
at Omaha, and consequently be Impure. The
fact that the water now served patrons
comes from Florence after going through a
number of settling basins ts considered
good enough tor the time being. As to tbe
lighting proposition, the city would be
forced to purcbaae the franchise cf tbs
lighting company now supplying light to
the city, and this would be expensive.
The question Is whether the city will
Increase Its bonded Indebtedness $1,000,000
or more in order to take up this work.
Just now the general bonded debt ia $207,-
X0 and the city has all it can do to pay
liHereot. to say nothing of Increasing the
debt. While a great many citizena would
like to see municipal ownership ot water
and lighting plants, there does not seem to,
be any great desire to vote bonds for a
turn aufficlent to Install such plants as
would bs needed to supply the city with
sn abundance of light and water. A oom-
promiae will most likely be made when It
comes to renewing the water contract and
a reduction In the annual hydrant rental
will doubtless be brought about when the
time for taking up the matter comes
around.

Too Great a Risk.
In almost every neighborhood ac aone
bas died from sn attack of colic or cholera
morbus, often before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned. A re
liable remedy for these diseases should be
kept at hand. Tbe risk ia too great for
anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy baa un
doubtedly aaved the lives cf more people
and relieved more pain and Buffering than
any other medicine in use. It csn always
be depended upon.

"The Toung Women's Christian associa
tion Is not a demoraliiiag charity, but an
aid to those who aid themselves. Ita work
is formatory, not reformatory. It has kept
bouse frugally; has grown rapidly and
greatly; needs a new home and now pro
poses to build one," affirmed Mrs. Lillian R.
Harford, president, in her address at the
First Baptist church Sunday morning.
In preparing the way for the pledge cards
that were passed at the end of the service
she told ot the plan on which the associa
tion bad worked so successfully that it now
becomes necessary to build larger quarters.
"We have one floor of the Paxton block,
partitioned Into rooms fitted ss an office,
two as parlors or reading rooms, a large
lunch hall, a kitchen and a gymnasium.
Originally It was thought thst these quar
ters would be smple for many years, but
they have not proved so. I with all might
see the women who come to that little
office. Some seek friends, other employ
ment and others Just Information about tbe
city, and many, many of tbem wish to
sleep under the association roof, not
gratuitously, but because of the home-like
comfort and safety thst they feel Is there.

"I wish yon might see the parlors Ideal
lounging places, with every chair and sofa
frequently filled snd mors needed.
"And the lunch room 100 girls eating
their lunches there every noon st a cost to
them of but 1 cent snd tbe privilege of sup
plementing what they bring with a cup ot
coffee, cocoa, tea or milk tor $ cents. It Is
within their means snd yet the revenue as
sists materially In supporting tbe associa
tion. "Then I should like to show you the gym

has been carried far beyond our greatest
expectations.

JOBBING TRADE ON INCREASE

Records far Moath af

Last week with ths Omaha jobbers wss
one which surprised them oa account of
the bulk of the trade, which for the third
week la May was ths heaviest in tha his
tory of ths city.
Ths effect of the, extension of tbe Elk
horn road Into northern Nebraska waa felt
appreciably, as one new stock and consid
erable additions to present stocks along
tbs proposed Hoe of that road were aold by
local jobbers. This territory will undoubt
edly increase la population with the com
ing of the railroad and when tha road It
built it will come into cloaer bualneas re.
1st tone with this city. Ths deslers have la
tha past dons considerable business at
Eloux City.
Soma of tha Increased activity last week,
la tbe opinion of Jobbers, Is dus to .the
trade excursion, and this makes them all
the more anxious to take the trip lot
northers Nebraaka.. This territory bas baea
debatable ground beta sen Omaha and Sioux
City for many years. Omaha Las the better
of the situation la many places, but It still
divides with ths Iowa town to an extent not
satisfactory to the local dealers. Plans for
this trip ars being arranged, but will not
be ready to be aaaounoed for a day or two,
as questions between tha club committee
and the railroad have not beea settled.
