The speeches dis played a well-divided mixture of good Judg ment, pathos and humor, and ' the fact that the desUny of Omaha Is to become the leading city of tha middle west was not lost sight of. After the menu had been discussed the speakers were Introduced by R. B. Wilcox, who acted aa toastmaster: V. W. Judson was the first speaker of the evening and his subject was: "Wel come to the Board of Governors." Mr. Judson said In part: Every man appreciates What the board of governors has accomplished for Omaha. The Ak-Sar-Hen has been a success tram the start, and we ae now furnishing in formation (or other cities as to how to . run a successful show. We all feel con vinced that evury dollar we have put Into the enturprlHe has returned Kood results and I, for my part, feel that we have been buying good advertising.

Toastmaster, Wilcox said: "Ths next speaker needs no introduction. lie Is none other than Uncle Tom." . Mr. Fry, In his response on the part of the board, said: What Hoard lias Done.

There has been some criticism because we have held carnivals, but all I have to sav in reolv to that Is. It we had not held these carnivals, which have been a success from the start, we woum now be laborlnsr under a debt of about 110,000 Instead of having that amount In our treas ury, our merchants nave suDscrinea iid erally, but all surplus has come from tha carnival receipts. When the time comes I think the board of governors stands ready to assist the Auditorium In a finan cial way, but I for one do not think that the time has arrived. If I were convinced that the payment of the balance In our treasury would complete the building I would be In favor of putting It In, but If we were to do so the building would not be completed without more subscrip tions, and ths business men of this city would have to shoulder and carry two or ganisations, neither of which would De in good condition financially. There has been a great deal of talk and some action re cently In the way of building up a grain market in Omaha. I do not see why this cannot be done. We are at a point where we must go backward or forward, ana i say let us go forward. , Baker's Trlhnto to West. Mr. Fry was followed by Judge Benjamin 8. Baker, who responded to tha toast; "The Oreater West," Mr. Baker's remarks In part were; When I was a young man, which was not long ago, 1 fancied I was an orator. I went to a small town to speak and while I was walking about looking at the sights of tbe place and waiting for tha time to come when 1 should startle the people, 1 met a Utile boy who was leading a dog. Because I had nothing else to uo. I .xiopped and axHe.i the boy his intentions regarding the animal, lie replied that he wauled to sell It to obtain suiticlent money to attend the show, as he termed It, that evening. Keel ing flattered by the interest manifested by tho urchin I Immediately wrote out a pass for himself and mother and Invited him to come. After delivering my speech the tirst person I beheld when stepping down off the stage was the aforesaid buy. I asked him what he thought of it. He replied: "I am glad 1 didn't sell that dog. Now ever since that occurrence I have bad some doubts regarding my alility to entertain uy ine voice aione. I heard something at Falrbury the other day which I don't telleve Is true.. A man wanted to telephone to Omaha and after putting the receiver to his ear he asked the girl at the other end what the toll amounted to for a Hhort conversation with this city. She replied that the cost would be 86 cents. Why, said he. I live in- Omaha and 1 can telephone from there to H r for that amount of money. Yes,, came the mi. ft reply, but you know that's inside the city limits. It wan only a few years ago that every thing beyond the HudMon river was con sidered out west, but all that is changed. YeHr by year, step by step, the esrt U rumlnir weal and the center of commorce is rapidly moving Into our midst. When I first came to Omaha you could drive any. where outlde the city.

Id AFFAIRS AT SOOTH OMABA Oitj Lose Case id Federal Court snd May Take an Appeal SCHLITZ BREWING COMPANY 6ETS VERDICT Matter Involves Damages Itesnltlna; from Kearleet of Contractor ' to Properly Protect Work Bo ' Us in Hand. A Jury In the federal court has handed down a verdict against the city of Bouth Omaha in Its suit against the Schllts Brew lug company. This suit has been In the courts sines ths fall of 1897. Along In the latter part of September, 1897, ths Schllts Brewing company employed Paul Plata of Omaha to remove the frame buildings on tho south aids of Q street at ths west end of the viaduct It was while this work was In progress that Mary Johnson stepped Into a hole caused by the removal of a hitching poet and Injured one oi her leg severely. Butt was brought against the city for 110,000 by tha attorneys for Mary Johnson and a verdict of $2,600 rendered against the 'city. The municipality paid the money and then W. C, Lambert,' who was city attorney at that time, commenced suit against the Schllts company. The defendants being nonresidents made it nesossary to take the case Into the federal court. In this action started by Mr. Lam bert, Paul PUts, the contractor, was not included and this was one of the reasons why ths caso went against the city. City Attorney Murdock stated yesterday afternoon that he had fifteen days In which to file an application for a new trial. In case another trial Is denied, Mr. Murdock Is anxious to take the casa to the court of appeals and even to the United State supreme court, If necessary. What will be done beyond the filing of an application for a new trial will rest largely with the mayor and council. The case has already cost the city' a great deal of money and It may be that the council will, consider It better to drop the matter than to spend any more money In legal proceedings. The verdict of the federal Jury In this case was quite a surprise to the city of ficials, as It appeared certain here that the city would get its money back, as It wa In no way responsible for the condition of the premises after the contractor had commenced work. Association Reeds Money. An effort is now being made td raise 1.6U0 for the local Toung Men's Christian association. Member of the board of di rectors of the association are soliciting funds among the business men and corpora tions. The church people and pastors have taken up tha work, and propose on Sunday, December 20, to collect a special offering for '.the association. Secretary Marsh ap pears confident that tha money can be raised. In order to place the needs of the association properly before the public.

In 1901 the receipts from memberships wore $800, subscriptions ll.ouO; total, $1,800. This wa about sufficient to pay expenses. In 11)03 the receipts from memberships have been $1,800. subscriptions $1,500; total, $3,300. being In eleven months about $400 short of enough to pay expenses. From this It Is seen that while membership receipts have increased with the growth of the work, subscriptions have not, hence the overdraft. Tho question now comes, does it pay 7 Shall we keep open the doors of the asso ciation, which has done and is doing so much for young men? The cltlsens must answer. . We must have $1,500 at once to pay ac cumulated Mils. If this Is raised, the as sociation will be out of debt, and can then do its legitimate work. Instead of being burdened and In disrepute because of Its financial condition. The board of managers promise that If these debts are paid now the association will be put on a cash basis, and that no more debts will be allowed. Can we afford to let this Institution close Its doors T We leave it to you. Ask the young men 6,000 of them many of whom are without homes In our city. Then ask yourself if you have a responsibility to Qod and humanity In the matter then act. T. C. MARSH, General Secretary for Board of Managers. Paving; Railroad Avenne. Cltlsens on South Twenty-fourth street and In Albright are greatly pleased at the action of the city council In having an or dinance Introduced for the paving of Rail road avenue. This matter of paving a road to the county Una has been talked of for years, but only recently was the law such that the council could go ahead with the work without a petition signed by two thirds of the abutting property owners. Already samples of brick are being sent to the city engineer' office and it looks now as if there would be no lurk of bid ders for the work. " City Engineer Beal says that It will take about 30.000 square yards of paving for this work, this Includes the space Inside of the street, car tracks. At the present price of material and labor the paving will cost between i.9D and $2.10 per square yard. When work commence there will first be laid six Inches of concrete. On top of this will be a two-inch layer of sand and then the brick. The city officials seem to favor the Purinton vitrified brick, manu factured at Galesburg, 111. These brick are three and one-half Inches wide and four inches deep and weigh about ten pound apiece. In all of the recent paving at th stock yards the Purinton brick have been used. However, the ordinance call for th Galesburg brick or any other brand of equal quality, so that bidder will not be compelled to bid on any on brand of brick. Artificial stone will be used In the -construction of the curbing, as It Is considered just ss good and much cheaper than natu ral stone. This paving ordinance will go through the regular channels and will hardly become a law before January 1. Looklaar for Mct'nrty. Monday afternoon Officer Blnger arrested James McCarty for being drunk and: beg ging on the streets. McCarty when brought before Judge Klrg showed two beautiful black eyes and fresh scar on both sides of his face. Judge King sentenced McCsrty to thirty day In the county jail, but ue- I pended sentence upon his promising to leave the city within half an hour. Mc Carty kept his part of the promise, but when he boarded a car for Omaha he car ried with him a satchel of surgical instru ment belonging to Dr. W. II. Slabaugh. The Instruments are valued at $40. The Omaha and Council Bluffs police have been notified-to kfep on eye out for McCarty. Brlgss Signs Complaint.
