aid:
The total subscriptions to date. Including
brick sale, donations, profits from musical
festivals ami other entertainments and
earnings from all other sources, going Into
the subscription fund, amounts to 1i9,
157.48. The total number of stockholders
Is something over 1.6i. The small subscrip

nave nearly wu urwii ... . - .
few In this class yet to receive attention.
fiut probably not more tnan w. .n wio
arge subscriptions, ranging from $500 to
16,000, It la believed there are about flrty
jet to bo closed, and that the aggregate
mount to be received on account of these
fiubscrlptlortb should be, approilmately,
Jfio.noo. , ,
The one-half block of ground, located
on the south side of Howard street, be
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
has been bought at a total cost of SR1.10B.60.
Full payment has been made for the site
with th pxrentlon of a mortgage of 15, OX)
on the west lot. In the purchase of the
fo'ir lots comprising the site options -were
bought to the amount of $1,360.
The report then showed that John Laten
er was engaged as architect, to receive S
per cent of the total cost of the building,
160,OOO. The excavation was done at a
cost of 1741.10. The foundation cost $13,488.
The contract for the structural Iron work
mounts to $41,300.
The Inability of contractors to furnish
the structural iron sooner has somewhat
delayed the progress of the building, but
from present Indications It is believed that
the building can be completed and ready
for use during the fiscal year now begin
ning. It has been found that the
building will cost, complete, but without
furnishing of any kind, approximately
$150,000; making the total cost of building

$60,000 to $60,000 more Is needed In addition
to the $170,000 already raised and pledged.

LOADING ON UNSKILLED MEN
Scheme of Business Areata of Strikers
to Harden tbe I'aloa
Parlflc.
Strikers have Increased tbelr efforts to
prevent the Union Pacific from employing
skilled mechanics. Confident of the com
pany's inability to fill Its shops with capa
ble men, the strikers have employed new
means of strengthening their fortifications.
In this connection a peculiar method has
been adopted. Business agents In all cities
throughout the country where men are
likely to be hired by the Union Pacific have
united In an effort to flood the Union Pa
cific with Incompetent men and to this end
they are exerting efforts to Induce men
whom tbey know to be unskilled to apply
for work to the company's agents. It Is
said tbe scheme Is working admirably.
Much of thla sort of activity Is being exer
cised in San FranclBco, from which point
the Union Pacific has drawn heavily, for
men. This circular has been issued by San
Francisco mechanics:
Machinists Stay away from all points on
the Union Parlflc railroad system. Men
on strike for the last three months against
piecework. Strike practically won by the
men. Stay away.
In the face of this bold circular It Is
said tbe 'Frisco mechanics are doing their
utmost to get men they know are unskilled
and Incapable to do mechanics' work to hire
to the Union Pacific agents there.
The fact that tbe 8anta Fe la paying more
money for new workmen, according to the
statements of strikers, than the Union Pa
cific, the latter. It la said, Is finding It diffi
cult, even with the disguised assistance of
their enemies, to get all the men It wants.
Reports to strike headquarters from North
Piatt are to the effect that the company
la making little progress In the removal of
Its shop equipment, owing to lack of
motive power. Some machinery. It is said.
has been loaded on cars, but Is still waiting
on tbe tracks for an engine to haul It away.
CARNIVAL PRICES COME DOWN
Short Order Reatanraat Proprietors
Take Down a Few White
Checks.
The carnival prices at tbe short order
restaurants have come down. That Is, some
of them have. A few or the restaurant
men aay that the Succulent roast beef
sandwich must now remain at 15 cents,
as It has belonged there some time, but
the prices of most of tbe dinner dishes
have been shaved tha 6 or 10 cents that
were tacked on when the waiters asked
an Increase for carnival week of $4, or
from $10 to $14.
When so Informed, tbe president of the
Society of Philanthropic Protest, whose In
terview appeared In yesterday evening's
edition of Tbe Bee and brought Immediate
telephone assurance from some of the
caterers, said: "Very good. Now tbe man
whose cook Is away, whose wife has the
Browning club In for luncheon or who has
neither cook nor wife, can manage to keep
flesh on bis ribs without suffering those
tii-dally hemorrhages of tbe pocketbook."

HOW T0PR0DUCE WORMS FROM FEATHERS
tage Fairy Tells Polle that R. E.
Matter II ae Been Reaping; Bonn
tlfal Harvest of Cola from
Omaha Homes.
"Wrecked on the shoals of might-have-been,"
muttered R. E. Maher, as he sul
lenly turned from Judge Berka's desk In
the police court yesterday after paying
a fine of $1 and coats which was levied
against him on tbe charge of being drunk.
Standing a few feet from Maher was
smiling little woman who calls herself
"Gypsy Van," and Is trudging on to fame
as one of the shining lights in the dramatic
firmament of the Star theater. "Gypsy"
It was who had caused Maher's arrest and
filched from htm a secret which was his
"stock in trade," transforming him from a
happy-go-lucky sort of a msgtcian on a
small scale to a despondent prisoner at bar.
Wednesday night after a profitable day
at his "magic" art, Maher, evidently find
ing himself several ducats to tbe good, de
cided he would throw aside the tedious
cares of life and have a good time. Ac
cordingly be stretched himself for a hack
and by the aid of his magic and seductive
wand he finally induced "Gypsy Van" to
Join him in his evening "off," the program
of which was to begin with a circuit of the
town In the best back on the avenue.
The ride was completed and Maher had
unburdened himself of a bunch of nice little
expressions, something to the effect that he
had enjoyed the ride with bis fair compan
ion. Suddenly, before taking leave of the
mischievous little Gyp, Maher claims to
have discovered another burden removed.
He said it consisted of $45, which at such a
time was really more than be could con
veniently spare.
Makes tha Soabrette Anarry.
And then Maner Is said to have made the
mistake of his life, the sad memory of which
provoked the lamentation which escaped his
Hps In the court room. Maher is said to
have accused Vannle of "touching" him for
the forty-five "bucks." Vannle pleaded ber
Innocence, bnt to no avail. The Incorrigible
man would have his way.
The sylph was vipdlctlve and when Maher
was locked up for an altercation with bis
backdrlver, she told the police that Maher
had been obtaining his livelihood by means
of fraud and she proceeded to expose bis
modus operandi, which after all was not a
clumsy modus.
The story was that Maher bad been In
Omaha several days under the guise of a
feather renovator. He would go to a house,
ask If the woman had any feathers to be
renovated, and If given a negative answer
would ask to eee what feathers she had In
her beds, under the pretense of wanting to
buy them at a high price which he would
Incidentally mention. To make the Inspec
tion he would rip open one side of the tick,
draw from his pocket a pencil which ap
parently was the same as any other pencil
and begin operations by stirring tbe feath
ers up with thla pencil, finally withdrawing
the pencil from the tick only to discover to
the horror of the good housewife that it was
literary covered with tiny worms. Of
course she would sell or give away that old
bed. She didn't want a bed full of rotten
or wormy feathers. Then Maher would
reap a bonanza.
According to his exposer, the pencil which
Maher used was hollow and contained a
rubber plug In one end. Tbe interior of
the pencil was filled with tiny worms which
Maher says are peculiar to Nebraska, Just
before Inserting the pencil In tbe feathers
he drew this rubber plug and the worms
made their ex'., being much In evidence by
the time. the pencil bad emerged from tbe
feathers.
The woman stated that Maher had made
some rich hauls here In Omaha by this
game.
PLATTE RIVER CANAL SCHEME
City Engineer Says Work Will Pro
ceed, bat Declines to Give
Particulars.
"Briefly I will say that It means tbe ac
quisition of a water power of 25,000 horse
power to the city of Omaha," said City En
gineer Rosewater, speaking of his Platte
river canal project. As to bts detailed
plans, however, Mr. Rosewater still declined
to make any statement for publication. He
said:
"There has been too much building of
large enterprises on paper, for one thing,
and I do not wish to be classed with those
who have that method of doing their busi
ness. I am sincere In my purpose and my
plans are bona fide and have been approved
by engineers from Boston who rank among
tha best in tbe country, so it may be said
that there is nothing experimental In my
project, but I am not yet ready to give be
particulars to the public. Work will pro
ceed without delay and I expect to see Its
completion by a year from next December."

TO SEEK REDUCTION OF FREIGHT RATE
I'aleas Coloradoana Cam Froeara tbe
necessary Feed They Will Have
to 'Ship Their Stock
to Market.
As Indicated ' by the special telegram
printed in The Bee yesterday great alarm
la felt by Colorado stock raisers over the
"feed" situation. The prolonged drouth in
tbe feeding districts of Colorado, princi
pally In tbe northern part of the state, has
seriously shortened the supply and warrants
the gravest fears aa to the ability to carry
the stock over tbe winter.
In view of the abundant corn crops In
Nebraska and Kansas, together with the ex
treme scarcity in Colorado of all stock feed,
the live stock men of tbe latter state will,
it is reported, seek a reduction of rates on
corn from these two states, so as to be able
to feed their stock and not be forced to
sell.
Inquiry at the Burlington and Union Pa
cific headquarters reveals the Information
that no applications have been made to
either of those roads aa yet for reduced
corn rates. The regular rate now on corn
from Missouri river points (which applies
from all Intermediate Nebraska points ex
cept those In the western end of the state)
Is 25 cents a hundred to all parts of Colo
rado, save the eastern section, to which the
Burlington makes a flat rate of 20 cents
and tbe Union Pacific a graduated scale.
Only this week has the Union Pacific put
into effect a rate of 25 cents from Grand
Island to Bitter Creek, Wyo., which dis
trict may also apply for a reduction.
It la evident from tbe attitudes of the
railroads that their present rates are by
them considered fair and that any applica
tion for reduction may meet with a failure.
The Burlington holds that after dividing
Its 25-cent rate to northern Colorado with
lines north of Denver, which It necessarily
does. Us profit is very moderate, and if any
reduction waa made there might not be any
profit at all.
There is little doubt that If the roads do
cot grant these proposed requests the feed
era in northern Colorado will be compelled
to sell a vast amount of their stock, in
which case the railroads would come in for
another large source of revenue In trans
porting the stock to tbe market. Whether
the thought of such a contingency will In
fluence the roads in acting upon the stock
man's requests Is not known.
Wlaaera la Photo Coatest.
Tbe Burlington's prite contest for tbe
beet set of photographs of Nebraska has
closed and tbe premiums have been awarded.
First "money," 25. went to W. A. Plxley of
Omaha; second, to Arthur U Anderson of
Wahoo, the prite being a free trip from
Waboo to Chicago and return. Tbe original
plana called for fifteen prizes, but owing to
the high standard, of work presented by
u man; of tbe competitors eight additional
prises, making twenty-three In all Instead
of fifteen, were given out. A total of 615
photographs were presented, 400 of which
can be used by the Burlington In Its various
advertising mediums, In 1890, the time of
the last contest, only 840 photogrspbs were
entered. It Is apparent, therefore, that
Interest la this competition is Increasing
and that tbe awarding of prises heretofore
has been sr.lsfactory.

The author of "The Night Before Christ

followed in the footsteps of tbe Immortal
Dickens, believing that life depicted from
life, a life la, is the supreme acme of
the writer' art and therefor In plotting,
writing and staging this play be ha fol
lowed absolutely those things which be
saw around and about blm every day. Tbis
accounts perhaps for tbe flattering notice
given to "The Night Before Christmas" by
the newspapers and commendation given
by the public, which is thoroughly attested
by the fact that theaters where this at
traction Is playing are crowded nightly.
"The Night Before Christmas" comes to
the Boyd Sunday matinee, night and Mon

The gyrations of some high priced
dealers to explain why they ask $6.00
and $6.00 for the same value that In
S0RQSI&
ar $3.50 always and to still sell
some of their lower grades at Soroskt
price, is amusing to aay the least.
Some of them blame the name for the
hoe' popularity. Other admit tbey
make a long profit on their $5.00
hoes. In fact so much profit that It
helps out tha expense of handling
tbe few lower priced shoes tbey sell.
But they all continue to ask $5.00
and $6.00 for the same quality and
style that In Sorosls ar
