THE OMATTA DAILY TIEE: SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1005. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Paving of West L Street to Burlington 4' . Viaduct Being Piscussed. RECEIPTS OF LIVE STOCK , ARE HEAVY Death Rate fta Far DarlaK Frhrniry Kicvp(lnaall)' Large, Grip and Pneumonia rlelna the Prta . . clnal lai. The city of South Omaha has g'Me so long with fw pavod streets that rtce the paving of Railroad avenue there is a W Ttianrt from Ml niancrs for mjre paving. The city authorities have dec fled to pave Missouri avenue. Ir'iln Thirteenth to Twenty-fourth "strata, ant bids for this work will be opened (n Monday night by the council. Now or,m 'mo property own er on West l. street KtiA wunt that etreet psved This trt Is paved a far as Thirty-third. What Is want now la a little griding and tire paving of the street as far wst as the east approach to the liurlington Vladwt. While Went L street, from Thirty-third to Thirty-alxth. Is sixty feet In width. It Is thought that a pave ment tlilrtj"-Hlx feet In width will answer all purpnt!. There will be little grading needed If a pavement la laid. The distance ftm the west line of Thirty-third street b) the taut approach of the Birllngton viaduct Is l,2tfl fet. The stock yards com pany has already paved about 130 feet of the roadway, and this will reduce the number of feet to be pavml to about 11.0CO. The estimated cost Is $9,000. On the south Me of this street, from Thirty-tldrd to Thlrty-Flxth, the Union Stock Yards com pany owns all of the property. On the north side the property Is cut up Into lots. It Is understood the owners of these lots are willing to sign a petition at once for the paving. With the signatures of the north sld property owners and that of t?e general manager of the stock yards company there will be no difficulty about carrying out this movement. With the .-ompletion of the Burlington viaduct It Is expected travel on Wet L. street will be greatly Increased. Paving is needed and If present plans are carried out the work wlU be done this year. Stock Receipts Increasing. Receipts of live stock at the yards here 5-esterday surprised the employes of the company and the commission deulers. The number of cars at 3 o'clock was 409. On account of the big receipts, which were en tirely unexpected, the buyers took advan tage and prices dropped. The five days' receipts were about G,000t below the same days last week and, less than half as heavy as the same wnek a year ngo. Today the buyers do not. look for much of a mar ket, but somo of them said last night that they would not be surprised if good re celpts were marked on the board. Hepreseat-stlve Fltle Here. Frank J. Kltle, member of the legislature from Douglas county, spent a few hours in the city yestcrduy. Mr. Fltle had some buslnesn at the city offices and he put In the balance of his time talking with prop erty owners about the sewer proposition. Regarding the Information he had obtained Mr.' Fltle had nothing to any and he would not. predict the outcome of the bills now pending before the Nebiv.sk legislature. Death Kate Alarming;.

Oscar and Mary Wood, husband and wife, were the head-liners In police court. Wood was arrested Thursday night on the charge of being drunk and abusing hla family, and faced the music in police court like a Trojan, Mrr. Wood, complaining witness, furnished the music, and so loud did her accompaniment become that she was warned by the court to be calm and col lected, le.it she might place herself In contempt of court. She had the last word as she left the court room. Tho Wood family live In room No. 67, Martin fiats. The wife testified that she has been living on one meal a day, while her lord and master gets drunk every day. This, she maintained, Is not the ideal mar ried life. When the Judge asked Wood if he had been drunk, the man Bald he had not been. "He was drunk," replied the woman, as she removed her bonnet and pushed back her front hair. "She was drunk," Interposed Wood. "You are a liar," declared the woman. "You'll be In contempt of court If you are not careful," said Acting Prosecutor Ellick. "And little do I cate If I do. I would then get something to eat," rejoined Mrs. Wood, with a look that almost withered the trembling prisoner. "Give him the limit," continued the wife. The case has been continued until Satur day morning so that additional evidence may be introduced by the arresting officers. Patrolmen KlBsane and Ring. Announcements ojf the Theaters. Miss Helen Grantly's engagement at the Boyd theater will conclude with two per formances today of "Her Lord and Mas ter," afternoon and evening. The next at traction at tho Boyd will be Andrew Mack, the popular singing Irish comedian, in his newest comedy, "The Way to Ken mare." In this Mr. Mack has a much bet ter opportunity for his talent than in any thing he has yet offered the public. He will be here on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and a special matinee on Wednes day of next week. After the matinee performance Saturday Miss Grantly will hold a reception on the stage for her Omaha friends. Commencing Sunday matinee for the week at the Orpheum the new bill, like last week, promises to stimulate the theater-going habit In even the blase. The Barrows-Lancaster company, presenting their latest success, a new one-act play, entitled "When Ooorglo, Was Eighteen," will be the principal card. The story has Its phases of love and humor, for a play without the effervescent humor of good natured James Barrows and a love scene for John L. Lancaster would scarcely prove satisfactory in their hands, for they have been pleasingly associated with both these elements. The remainder of the pro gram embraces: Harry Earle, Godfrey and Miss Veta Henderson, offering the quaint conceit, "A Daughter of the Gods;" the musical Avalon, xylophonlst; J. Roger West and Ida Van Slelen in "The College Gymnasium;" Harry V. Fitzgerald, light ning change artist; J. W. Kurtis and dogs, and new klnodrome. Yae mm a Drawing; Card. Ysaye, the great violinist, who will ap pear at the Auditorium on next Thursday evening, under the auspices of the Omaha Concert promoters, has the most wonderful record on drawing audiences of any artist or company or performance, or. In fact, any clans of entertainment. Up to date he has played about forty performances In America, appearing In the largest cities and also some of the smaller ones. This ar tist's price exceeds that of even a grand opera prima donna, and the enormous guarantees must be forthcoming Irrespec tive of the else of the city; but, strange to relate, he appeared In little Norwich, Conn., recently and more than 600 people attended his concert. Norwich has a population of 25,000. One out of every forty-two of the population attended the performance. The receipts were between $l,3u0 and 11,400 for this concert, and a few of the public spir ited men made up the balance of the guar antee. This wlU be Ysaye's only appear ance In Omaha or the state during this season. Inv.st Constant Oil aiocv. S01 N. T. Ufa LOCAL BREVITIES.

UNION PACIFIC SETS THE PACE FOR OMAHA Overland Headquarters Thoroughly Organised and Equipped for the Systematic Protection of Life aad Property. Blulding Inspector Wlthnell warmly com mends a system of fire drills and Instruc tion designed to protect life and property Just Inaugurated In the Union Pacific head quarters building. In connection with the rules and regulations which have Just been promulgated, tho inspector states that hardly a factory, commission or warehouse, factory building or department or other store has devoted attention to anything of the kind. "It is a grave mistake for the persons controlling large buildings where many are employed to neglect these precautions," ho ays. 'Terscnally, I don't know of a single building except the Union Pacific headquarters where any attempt is made to anticipate fire and to prepare for the rapid exit of the Inmates and prompt battling of the flames. Such an arrangement Is badly needed in office buildings, wholesale houses, factories and dopartment stores. Under the Union Pacific system every person U supposed to know Just where to go to got out without crowding the stairways and lire escapes, while other are detailed to use the hose and fire extinguishers at hand. In ordjer to destroy the trouble, If It Is possi ble. I cannot praise the forethought and wisdom of the Union Pacific people too highly, but I wish that other large com panies and corporations In Omaha would follow their example." Union Pavlne ltestulatlona.' Three cards have been printed by the Union Pacific to be posted about tho build ing. They instruct all concerned In case of fire to first notify the operator In the build ing exchange, telling where the fire is and describing it, the operator to Immediately transmit the information to the city fire department. The operator then proceeds oa quickly as possible to notify every depart ment of the fire, beginning on the top floor and working down. Fire precautions are placed entirely In the hands of tho superintendent of the building, who reports to Chief Engineer Berry. The superintendent must see that all apparatus, Including fire ercapes. Is in good working order and actuary tested at least once I month. He Is to Instruct subordinate em ployes and all persons employed in the building how to use tho fire apparatus, giv ing genuine demonstrations at the time, and he Is made responsible for' the acquire ment of this knowledge by all employes. Once a month there must be a fire drill wherein the whole process must be worked out exactly as If there were a fire, water being turned on and the escnpes being used In each room the way to the window hav ing a fire escape must be left clear and every departmental head must have an un derstandlng with the superintendent of tho building doncernlng the egress of the em ployes under him. In this way congestion of stairways and escapes .may be avoided, It is thought. The effect of the new Instructions Is to enable everyone in ,the .building to know Just what to do In case of peril and not only avoid panic nnd save his life, but to assist in saving property and doing every thing possible to extinguish the fire. New fire squads from tmong the employes are selected each month so that all may be educated to a degree of efficiency. NEW FIELD FOR OMAHA BONDS Ievr fork May fermlt Its Savings Banks to Bny Gate City 8e. curltles Hereafter. News of the introduction of a bill at Al bany with the approval of Governor Hlg glns, which, if it becomes a law, will make Omaha, Kansas City, Oakland and San Francisco bonds legal Investments for New York state savings banks, has been re ceived with great pleasure by Omaha peo ple In the city hall and out of l who have to do with the financing of the city expense account. The passage of the bill Is eagerly awaited and it is believed the measure will become a law. The result quite probably will make it possible for the city to get its bonds out at a lower rate of Interest. City Treasurer Hennlngs and Tax Com missioner Fleming were delighted at what they consider a recognition of the city's financial standing. They believe the admis sion of Omaha bonds to New York state will almost double the field for the city securities. The Omaha bonds at present outstanding aggregate J6,E88,400. Of this amount $4,848,- 000 are general bonds and the remainder special bonds. J. L, Brandeis & Sons have taken the last three Issues and Frank N. Clarke, manager of the bank, when asked regarding the effect of the bill If it should become a faw, said: "It will be a big thing for Omaha to get Its bonds Into New York state. New York state, with Its $600,000,000 of savings bank deposits, would double the field for Omaha securities. The situation is this: The east ern states restrict the character of the bonds which savings banks may buy as legal assets. In New England, Connecticut. Maine and Vermont have admitted Omaha bonds as proper securities for such banks. Up to the present they have not been ad mitted In New York, which has the largest: savings bank business in the country. If the bill passes . tny greatly widen the market for our bonds. Connecticut Is at present the largest purchaser and holder of Omaha bonds and something like fifty banks there have a larger or smaller block of them. If we get into New York the city will be able to sell lower Interest bonds." Mr. Clarke Is confident the bill will pass the New York law-making bodies, because his bank has been In receipt of letters for some days past from bankers In the Empire state asking for large blocks of bonds. It la unlikely they would offer to purchase these unless they were very sure they were to be made legal Investments for their banks. TEN-CENT THEATER IS COMING Cheap Continuous Making Plana to Add Omaha to Circuit Al ready a Existence.

The second trial resulted In a rattling contest and was a draw. The excitement was Intense and the large crowd present was exceedingly demonstrative. ADVERSE REPORT ON PRIMARY Hoase Committee Attacks tha Valid Ity of the Petition for the Bill PIERRE, 8. D., Feb. 17. -(Special Tele gram.) The report of the house elections committee on the primary election bill was presented late this evening. It attacks the validity of the petition and recommends that It -do not pass. It goes over to to morrow for action and the probabilities are that the report will be turned down and the bill passed. Principal among the house bills presented today were by the ways and means com mittee to require county auditors to meet with the State Equalisation board before the assessors' meetings each year, and Increasing insurance taxes from 2 to 3 per cent of the premium receipts, and by the live stock committee . providing for county meat and hide Inspectors. The Zafft resolution for an amendment to ralso the salaries of legislative members only secured eleven votes and the bill for a state library commission was defeated. The house made laws in passing senate bills to list agricultural and mineral lands separately for assessment and to tax cost against the plaintiff where suit was brought In the wrong county. House bills passed were the Foster bill, prohibiting dealing In futures and opera tion of bucketshops. Foster declared these Institutions to be worse than any other kind of gambling places In the state, and the bill went through with only half a dozen votes against it. Other house bills were: To prohibit granting saloon licenses within five miles of government works; in creasing compensation of county commis sioners In certain cases; allowing circuit court Judges expenses; increasing compul sory school attendance' to sixteen ' weeks In a year; legalizing Issuance of water works bonds, the bill being for the purpose of assisting In straightening out the Sioux Falls water works tangle, and a Joint reso lution for a constitutional amendment to provide for municipal courts. In the senate the bill to create a north eastern hospital for the Insane at Water town was the only matter which called out debate, Dillon of Yankton leading tho op position, In which he was supported by Casslll. Nelll, Hutchinson, Lawson and Abel supported the measure. Johnson asked for an amendment to prohibit the erec tion of buildings at the new location until the Y'ankton Institution had reached an attendance of 1,000, which was added to the bill before It passed. Other senate bills passed were: Empower ing county commissioners to appropriate cash for county fairs; requiring the faculty at the Agricultural college to make an annual exhibit at the State fair; allowing rood taxes to bo paid in cash; authorizing the employment of assistant state's attor neys In certain esses, and providing for farmers' Institutes. The senate made laws by passing house bills making notes for physician's service non-negotiable, and authorizing consolida tion of certain funds In the state treasury. New senate bills were by Frlesberg, to fix fees of Insurance Companies, and a Jofnt resolution by Casslll, endorsing the position of President Roosevelt on the railroad question.
