But speaking of leap years, there may be
more in the name than on might think.
For Instance, it was during the last leap
yar,183, that William Jennings Bryan
leaped full into the arena under a silvery
moon and tried to convince people that the
star of empire had also taken to leaping
and was then stationed Just above Lincoln,
Neb. But even Mr. Bryan cannot tell of
the origin of this legend of leap year. He

Julius Caesar, who waa tha original ad

The year 1904 opens auspiciously for
South Omaha." Many Improvements are
under way, and.lt Is expected that others
soon will be started. There Is the high
school building, with foundations nearly
laid. This building will cost about IIHO.'O'.
Then there Is the public library building,
which Is to be completed by June 1. Most
of all In Importance comes the construction
of the O street viaduct. Work already has
been started on this structure, and as soon
as the weather will permit building opera
tions will be quickened. Several hundred
men will be needed when It comes to the
building of this bridge. Then there is the
grading for additional tracks between
Omaha and South Omaha, along the right-of-way
of the Union Pacific. With the va
cating of the stub ends of streets In the
northern portion of the city an extension
of the present railroad system has been
made possible. This proposed grading will
mean work for hundreds of men for a year.
It Is understood that the dirt taken from
thn bluffs near the city limits will be
thrown at the west end of the Union Pa
clflo bridge In Omaha.
The Rock Island road promises to mnke
some Improvements to Its roadbed In the
southern part of the city, and rumor has
It that a contractor who Is willing to un
dertake the work Is being looked for. In
the line of city Improvements the paving
of Railroad avenuo will give employment
to a large number of men. The (trading of
N street also Is contemplated this year.
Other city improvements are under consid
eration. As for tho packers, no great Im
provements have been suggested so fnr.
All Improvements at the stock yards rest
with the general manager, as he has been
given authority by the dlrectora to expend
what money ha sees fit In improvements.
A number of business men on N street pro
pose Improving their property by making
additions. Taking all of these propositions
Into consideration, dealers In building ma
terial look for a busy season.
Number of Arrests.
For the year ending midnight Thursday
the police made 1,638 arrests. Aa there Is
no form, under the present arrangement,
there Is no telling how many vagrants,
suspicious characters, etc., were arrested.
The books show that June of last year was
the banner month. In that 181 arrests were
made. Most of these were for trivial of
fenses. Three colored men wore arrested
on murder charges during tho year, one.
Tucker, being sent to the penitentiary for
fourteen years, and the other two ere
awaiting trial.
Elsfelder Arrests Soapeet.
Detective Elsfelder arrested M. S. Barry
yesterday evening and had him locked up
on the charge of .being a suspicious char
acter. . Barry objected to being subjected
to the Indignity of arrost, but he had
with him a quantity of writing paper, en
velopes, lead pencils, etc., supposed to
have been stolen from an Omaha whole
sale house. Barry referred to a man In
Omaha who had not been In business
there for years. The police think that
they have a thief who has been pilfering
from book stores for some time and pro
pose to moke a thorough Investigation.. .
