A considerable number of employes having expresned their desire that the eme privileges be given to the Conti nental Casualty company of Chicago, tne railroad company will, commencing with November, make collections on orders given by employes to either the Aetna or Continental company. Under the previous arrangement applica tions for insurance were virtually written by the employes themselves, or for Ihein by clerks in superintendents', master me chanics' and other offices, and employes received their insurance at a discount from the regular rates of one-third for the more hazardous occupations and of one-fourth for ordinary occupations.

Clear Away for Terminals. That the Great Western railway propose to clar the way for It terminals soon Is shown by tha fact that the officers have asked the city for a blanket permit to uthorlse tha removal of the vacant houses to an Improvised junk yard near Twentieth and Pierce streets, where the dwelling will be collected and sold. Building In spector Wlthnell has looked over the ground nd declines to Issue a permit to move all the houses, as each one will have to be Inspected personally by his department be fore it is moved. For Economy's Sake, Following recent orders to retrench in every possible manner the Union Pacific has Issued an order which does away with the colored portera on the chair car be tween Omaha and Denver. This I one of the result of the recent meeting with E. II. llarrlmnn at Chicago and mean the discharge of a large number of the employes. MANY FORCIBLE ENTRY CASES Multiplicity of Complaint Jnst Now Said to Be of No Serious Consequence. "Tho multiplicity of forcible entry com plaints being filed in the several justice courts need cause no apprehension," said a well known rental ngent, whose firm han dles upwards of 250 houses and generally ha all of them occupied. "In handling our extensive business In the rental line, we find that collections are exceptionally good and that the usual crop of deadbeats, which comes to the surface every fall. Is, if anything, not so large as In former years. There are several reasons why the court are flooded with complaint of this character at this time. Quite a number of families are planning to move Into steam heated flats for tha winter, and If the agent is not alive to hla bounded duty to his landlord, he will get left for the last month's rent. We have found It necessary to file a few forcible entry complaints on this account, but the number Is small." The several justice courts of the city are just now filled up with forcible entry com plaints. Where a tenant is In default a notice of ejectment In three days time may be filed and this ha been done in numerous instancea. VANISHED AS PER ADVICE Colored Man with Ambitions to Bell Cigars Depart by Special Request. English Morton, colored, arrived In town a week or so ago, and is now ready to leave. Morton secured a position with the Robertson Cigar company. He wa to do odd jobs and shine shoes. The odd jobs he found too odd and the polishing end of the contract too commonplace, so he branched out as a cigar salesman and peddled several boxes of the finest cigars he could lay hands on.' His sudden debut in the commercial field was observed by his employers and his services dispensed with. Morton Anally ran foul of the police and to them told the story of his aspirations to become a cigar salesman and his downfall. He was told to vanish in the direction of Iowa or the bleak prairies of South Dakota, while there was yet time. Hs vanished.

ALGERIE REYNA BARRIOS. Tat cations officials at Baa Francisco whs had demanded $60,000 d.itv ea her collec tion ol dlaraondt and other gem were attonlihed at tin discovery tnt noil of thsre ate "Barrios Diamonds,' and that th entlrs collection did net eost C20.0U0.

Come to Our Store and See the Genuine Barrios Dia mondsthe Kind Mme. Barrios Wore. Wby people continue to pay extravagant prices for diamonds 1 more than we can understand. Anybody who will read the following special dispatch telegraphed from San Francisco to the lead ing newspapers of this city will readily understand that it is no longer necessary to pay enormous sums for diamonds : "San Francisco, March II Mot. Algeria Reyna Barrios' famous diamond necklace, which shs has worn oil state occasions In Guatemala and at social functions In New York, is not composed of high-priced diamonds after all, but of Barrios Diamonds. Many other (-ems in what was thought to he one of the mst magnificent collec tions of Jewels in the world are bnt clerer imitations. This astounding dlscorery was made br Custom House experts, who examined them for the purpose of fixing their ralue." Mme. Barrios, the widow of the second Barrios, President of Guatemala, assassinated,- like his uncle, two years ago, arrived in San Francisco recently. The Custom House officials demanded that $5o,ooo duty be paid on Mme. Barrios' jewels. She demurred, claiming that the gems were bought in New York by her late husband's agents. The Custom House experts examined the jewels after Mme. Barrios had failed to establish her statement by documentary proof, and the amazing discovery was made that the jewels of Mme. Barrios, reported to be one of the wealthiest women in the world, are, many of them, only "Barrios Diamonds. The jewels upon which $60,000 duty was demanded are not worth $ao,ooo. Experts "thought the jewels were worth more than a million dollar. Now, what do you say to that? If Barrios Diamonds are good enough for a president's wife to wear on state occasions, don't you think they are good enough for you? If expert jewelers, selected by the United States Government to appraise such articles, think Barrios Diamonds are the high-priced kind, do you think any ordinary citizen would detect the differ'-'ce? We defy them to distinguish Barrios Diamonds from the kind sold in exclusive jewel ry stc. .s every day for fancy prices. Don't go astray in such an important matter as buying dia monds. Come to our store and get the Barrios Diamonds. S You Must See These Beautiful Barrios Dievrrvorvds. 1 -'m ThreeStone Til fany. A marr! of beaatr and splendor.

They are wholesaling now at $1 in sets of twelve, which Is 60 cents cheaper than they closed out at.

Malaga or Armeria grapes will surely be here to make a 'crush on Omaha In a day or two, for they have been on the road a week. They are of moderate price this year, and because of the high charge of American grape will doubtless be sold in large chunks.

SUITOR TAKEN FOR BURGLAR Lover Approaches Sweetheart's Room Barefooted to lnde Brother and Geta Arreated. Benjamin Mitchell went to see his be.it girl Thuraday night and wa arrested for a burglary before he gained entrance to the domicile of the young woman. It all Came about this way: Mitchell was a fre quent caller at' the rooming houae at Six teenth and Cas streets, where Miss Mary Hooker resided with her brother. Mis Hooker' brother was not aware that she wa receiving attentions from any male friends and albeit Miss Hooker is of age and a few yeara more, her modesty would not permit her to 111 her brother that Mitchell had a bad cuse over her and was a regular caller. Mitchell, who is a driver for the Howell Conl company, told his story frankly, saying: "I waa In the habit of calling to sea my girl whenever I felt !l'e it, but I had never met her brother. I was not anxious to and usually when I called In the evening would take oft my shoes and go up he rear stair way. I waa going up the stepa last night when the officer called to me to halt and I was put under arrest. I have been In Jail all night and It Is the first time In my life." The brother of Miss Hooker, hearing th noise, got up nnd helped the officer put the handcuff on hla man, not realising that he waa helping to railroad a possible brother-in-law to jail. The true status of the case was ex plained to Judge Berka, who taw the Juke and gave Mitchell hla liberty along with th sage advice to approach the house where his best girl lives from the front hereafter.

Member Homan of the Board of Kduca tlon ha been comparing the cost of eight room school buildings In the past with the lowest bid submitted for the construction of the Monmouth J 'ark school, and. Ilk the other member, he believe the pro posed cost altogether too high. "I find." he says, "that the Saunders school was built for tJO.Tft; the Train for t-,r and th Long for $-.Mu. This was about ten year ago, during the hard time, whan competition wa Intense be- l cause everyone wanted something to do. This waa what produced the Train school for $2,278. complete. Including a steam-heating- plant. Figuring to per cent above this price for advances In labor and ma terials, the Train school would cost )29.7S9. Yet we aro asked to pay fcK.&OO for another eight-room building, minus heating and plumbing and other extras which will cost at least tlO.oaO, bringing the total cost of the school to IKi.gno. if we could get the cost down to fgo.OuO, or even IW.Orn), I would I be satisfied, but alterations will have to ', be made In the plans to accomplish this." Tho buildings nnd property committee met for a long time Thursday afternoon with Architect Kimball, but did not arrive at results.
