CHICAGO July W Negotiations failed

application m prepared which will bo
preaented on Monday to tho circuit court
for an Injunction to restrain tho teamatera
from tnterferlnc with the company's busi
ness, either In tho transportation of freight
or delivery of goods at the plant.
A new factor entered tho field In the
Interests of tho Kellogg company In the
form of tho American Anti-boycott asso
elation, which, It Is averred, represents
the business Interests, with a capital of
11,000,000.000. Danla Davenport, executive
agent and counsel of tho association, of
which tho Kellogg company Is a member,

Intention of the association to aid tho Kel

Tin Mills to Be Nonunion.
PITTSBURG, Pa,. July 18.-Three mills

Keesport were In operation' today,
1 Manager Lauck has Issued an' ultimatum
deolarlng the union will not be recognised,
or the scale signed, and President Shaffer
of the Amalgamated association asserts
that the strike will be fought to the bitter

The workmen have been provided with

though trouble Is feared.
display that can he obtained In a well regu
lated apartment house or flat. So America
la on tho move and although It Is moving
lowly the progress Is Steady.
While the rich are maintaining private
houses they ran hardly be said to be main
taining homes. They have 'a town house
and a country house, a villa by the sea
and a lodge In the mountains. From one
to the other of these they flit as the
seasons change and fashion dictates. In
neither place do they make a true home.
Such seems to be the general rale with the
rich of New York. It is not so bad else
where at present, but New Tork leads and
the country follows, so perhaps the time Is
not fsr distant when a similar condition of
things will prevail even In California,
where nature offers every Inducement to
home making and where nothing except
artificial conditions tempt men to live
otherwise than In homes of their own.
Artemus Ward once scored a great hit
with the American people by saying "a
man will fight for his home, but he won't
fight for his boarding house." Were the
humorist alive today he would have to
change that saying or stand charged with
being a pessimist. We are becoming a
nation of "apartment dwellers," but our
patriotism and our pugnacity have not
diminished. We know not the story of the
cliff dwellers of the Arlsona and the Col
orado mountains, but doubtless they fought
heroically for the preservation of their
lofty abodes high up on the precipices, and
so we shall fight tor our elevated flats and
rooms way up In the top stories of huge
buildings. It will be a homeless age per
haps, but love and patriotism will live with
undiminished vigor In our hearts.'
It may be that such prognostications ere
not wholly called for. California at any
rate can show an Increasing number of
homes In all Its cities and In all Its coun
ties. Still It Is a notable and remarkable
fact that In an American city durlng the
course of a whole year not a single house
was erected to serve as the home of a man
who Is not rich enough to be rated as a
millionaire. San Francisco Call.

SIGNS OF A HOMELESS AGE
An Valerianate Tendency More Con
spicuous In New York Than
Elsewhere,
Building reports of the city of New York
for the last year are to the effect that the
average cost of the private dwelling erected
on Manhattan Islsnd was In the neighbor
hood of $100,000. That Is to say no houses
were erected except for very rich people.
Persons whose fortunes are below the mil
lionaire rank may live in fiats, or apart
ments, or hotels, or boarding houses, or
tenements, but they do not build houses of
their own any more.
On this side of the continent matters have
by no means reached that point. We have
till a large number of small houses erected
very year as homes for persons of mod
erate means. Still even here the main
tendency of the building boom Is toward the
construction of flats or- apartment houses.
A similar tendency can be doubtless noted
lit every othrr part of the country. House
keeping Is becoming a nuisance to an In
creasing number of people and, moreover,
la yearly becoming more and more oostly.
There Is required either a great deal of
money or a great deal of work or a great
deal of both to maintain a private house on
anything like the scale of convenience and
CRIME TO BUY WATER WORKS
Treasurer Hennlngs So Declares Pro
posed Purchase of Plant
This Year.
"It 'Will be a crime tor the city of Omaha
to purchase the waterworks this year. The
plant should either have been purchased
a number of years ago or puchasing It
should be postponed for a number of
years."
City Treasurer Hennlngs made the above
statement yesterday when the subject
of the purchase of the waterworks came up
In his office, incidental to the redemption
of several hundred thousand dollars worth
of warrants at this time, and city finances In
general. Continuing Treasurer Hennlngs
said In substance:
"The special tax litigation la gradually
being closed up; the city Is rid of the old
wooden bloc1' pavement debts and has
adjusted Itself to other conditions: taxes,
both real and personal, are being colleced
better than In the past; the scavenger law
will wipe the books clean of delinquent
realty taxes In a very few years; and for
the first time since the boom days Omaha
In a financial sense can see light ahead.
The city Is now getting out of the woods
and If nothing Is done to prevent It will
soon be In as good financial condition as
any city or town In the whole country.
"But Just as everything Is going along
smoothly comes this water works purchase,
and I repeat that In my opinion to buy the
plant this year will be a crime. Those
who know anything at all about the matter
agree that the estimate of the appraisers
will not be much, if any, less than $6,000,000.
At present the city of Omaha, or any other
city In the country, big or little, ' cannot
sell bonds which bear less than 5 per cent
Interest,, and It Is a question .whether we
ran sell even ft per cent bonds: next fall. '
"The dally reports In the financial papers
show that a number of cities which ad
vertised for bids for bonds, to be opened
during the last ten days, did not receive a
single bid. At t per cent $8,000,000 of bonds
would moan a $300,0f0 Interest charge a
year. Then add to this $75,000 to $100,000
per year for operating the plant and mak
ing everyday, ordinary repairs. The com
pany now pays the city and county $66,000
a year In taxes, and is paid $96,000 a year
for water rent. Here the city will gain
$40,000, for while It will lose the taxes It
wir. save the rent, so far as the book
keeping part of It Is concerned.
"But at the very best figuring there will
still be between $328,000 and $350,000 a year
for the city to pay In Interest and operat
ing expenses and unless the Income of the
company Is much larger than Is generally
supposed the city at large will have to pay
a considerable sum every year out of the
general fund, or some other fund, to make
up the difference. That Is, unless water
rates are raised as soon as the city gets
the plant.
"If Omaha could float bonds at 4 per cent
It would make a difference of 160,000 per
year, and It the bonds bore only 8 per
cent a difference of $120,000 per year on
an Issue of $6,000,000. I think the best thing
for the city to do under the circumstances
la to go just as slow as possible In taking
possession of the wster works plant, In
the hope that conditions In the money
market and In the bond market will im
prove. On bonds running for a long term
of years It will make a great deal of differ
ence whether the Interest charge la $300,000,
or $240,000, or $180,000 a year."

Had Reason to Give Thanks.
Two very unusual Incidents happened In
the Reporter office this afternoon and,
while they not only proved the honesty of
such professional men as ministers aad
lawyers, still to have such luck fall to the
lot of an editor Is something extraordinary
ana worthy or mention. In the first place.
a minister of the gospel called at the of
flee to pay for some job work and was In
formed that the amount charged on the
book was $1.78. This, he stated, was an
error, and should be $2.50, which he paid,
and thus made the heart of the editor glad
Now the other Incident started the day
before, when a lawyer was In the office
transacting business with another party,
and In the deal aaked us to change a $10
bill, which we were able to do greatly to
tne astonishment of all present, and then
this forenoon this disciple of Blackstone
called again and returned to us a dollar,
which we had given him 4ns excess of the
correct amount. This may not seem out
of the ordinary to people In general, but
editors and printers will understand that to
not only have so large an amount of money
on hand at one time, but to have any re
turned on an error, Is remarkable. We
have, however, recovered and hasten to re
new our thanks to the learned gentlemen.

Hard Working Hantaa Heart.
Someone with an aptitude for statistics
has been doing a little calculating on the
subject of the human heart and Its acti
vities. The normal heart It appears, beats
about seventy-five times In a minute, so
that an hour's rerord would be something
like 4.320 bents. Supposing that a man
lived to be GO, his heart would have ben ten
1, 02,160,004 times. It a son of this man,
mere rohnrt (gian his father, should fill out
the scriptural allotment of three-score
years and ten his heart beats would number
X.9.0?i000. It Is easy to understand, after
such a computation, why this hard-working
servant of the human body so fre
quently wears out. Harper's Weekly.

JOBBERS' want buildings
Demand for Structures in ths Wholeiale
District Gcm Unheeded.
NEW FIRMS CANNOT FIND QUARTERS
eatlsaeat at Commercial Claa Is That
Many Jobbers Woald Locate ta
Omaha If tho Capitalists
Weald Only Beild. ,
"If we had proper buildings for them, I
believe that thirty new Jobbing houses
would locate in Omaha during ths next
twelve months." said W. 8. Wright a day
or two ago in the Commercial club, when
several business men were talking over the
general business conditions.
"Yes," assented Secretary Utt of the club,
"I could find five or six of them right now.
I have had several letters from important
firms who wish to locate In this city and
their representatives havs been here from
time to time and looked the situation over,
but we can't find them suitable buildings.
There isn't a single large building in the
wholesale district that is not occupied."
"I know of several Jobbing houses," said
Mr. Wright, "that need larger quarters and
would bs willing to pay per cent net to
anyone erecting such buildings and would
enter Into leases for ten years or longer.
But nobody seems willing to build."
This seemed to be the general opinion of
the Jobbers present and they deplored the
Inertness of those having the necessary
capital. There Is a very large amount of
m-n wine In Omaha banks, drawing at
most t per cent, that could be well Invested
In large buildings In the wnoiesaie ana
manufacturing district
The condition which now exists will be
come aggravated as time goes on. Several
firms during 1905 sent representatives to
nmaha with an Idea of locating here, but
could find no buildings fit for ths purposes
they Intended. This year, accoraing to oeo
retary Utt and others, these attempts have
been more numerous. There are unoccu
pied only a few small buildings In pot ths
best locations.
Bastaeas Is Orswlag.
During the last few years, with the
growth of the Jobbing business here, sev
eral firms that occupied small store build
ings havs so Increased their trade that they
have taken large blocks. Others havs out
grown their present quarters and are
cramped for space, but can find no other
buildings and must coatlnue as they are or
build their own houses. This ths Jobbers
gre usually not In a position to do. They
need their capital for their business and
re-
said
have not the surplus to put la a six or
e'ght-story building.
"The present condition is directly a
sun or tne hard times following wso.
a prominent grocery Jobber. "About that
Urns a number of large buildings were put
up and afterward were difficult to rent and
were leased to houses on long terms at very
low rates. This In Itself was a dlsooursg
ment and people have not recognised that
the conditions havs changed. Then men
who own pieces of ground In ths Jobbing
district usually bought It at a much greater
figure than they could now dispose of it.
When they are considering the erection of
. building they wish to figure In the ground
at its original cost, which it would not now
bring. This makes the per cent so high
that Jobbers are not willing to pay It, and,
On the other hand, the owners do not seem
willing to figure In the land at Its present
value."
