If men show , their faith In the eity In which they happen to live by Investing thoir money, in brick and mortar, tho clil icm as a whole show their faith in their city by their investments of public, money In permanent public Improvement. Judgod ,tty this standard Omaha has plonty ot confidence ln l(s own future. Taking only the last three years, the city and school district alone have spent nearly fldO.uOO. on new jmbllu buildings, and have additional struotures to be erected out of publlo funds on the boards that within a year will add another $150,000 to the In vestmeat of publlo funds in publlo build ings. J'or one new Are engine house at Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets to cost about $X,000, contract is now being awarded, and active steps are under way for the preliminaries of a new school building on the Vinton street site to cost from $i0,0u0 to $75,000. ew School Buildlaara. In the three-year pertod named the school district built one new school house and started another not yet completed. The finished building Is the Monmouth Park school and It cost complete $46.$(6. It is an eight-room brick building of plain ex terior. The plans were drawn by Thomas K. Kimball and Thomas Herd secured the general contract for $3-',ioo.

This school was put in commission lust No vember and replaced a framo building. The location is Thirty-third street and Mere dith avenue. The house under construction is the Beats school, which will replace a collec tion of small frame buildings, part of which have been burned, at Forty-eighth and Walnut streets. It Is nearly finished and is the first school to bo erected by the Board of Education without the inter mediation of a general contractor. Enough has been dono to make it certain that the cost will not go abovo 20,0CO. Tho struc ture is of brick, will have six rooms and will be heated by stoves. It Is tho cheapest typo of public school building to be erected in Omaha within recent years. Tho Board of Education may dcoide to start the construction ot the new Vinton school this year on tho old site at Boule vard avenue and South Twenty-first street. It will be a slxteen-room building and will probably range in cost anywhere from $50,. 000 to $75,000. The district needs a new school badly as'the old buildings now pro vided are Insufficient The Board of Edu cation has Just, completed arrangements for purchasing land costing $6,000 for the purpose of having sufficient ground for the new school. Besides this the board may de cide to build a combination store building and shop this year or next. Together with the land necessary. In case any Is pur chased, the cost will be from $10,000 to $16,000. Some Engine Hooaea. Of the $95,174 bpent by the city in the last three years for new buildings, $11,000 was paid for the lot for the new Are engine house at Eleventh and Jones streets, and $?.80ofor the ground on which the new In solation hospital stands three miles west of the city. The largest amount spent for a single building was for the Are engine station at Eleventh and Jackson streets, plans by Fisher it Law He, which has just been occupied,1 and a building renting for $75 a month at Fourteenth and Harney streets, vacated. For the new station $31, 6!8.C was spent, although the original con truct was for but $30,0iu. Extras made up the difference. The building Is the most artistic kind of engine houae constructed In Omaha and has room for engine, hose wagon, hook-and-ladder truck, and even additional apparatus. The other engine houae built was at Twenty-seventh and Jones streets and re placed an old frame bam that had been used for the purpose. It was designed by Walter T. Mistier and cost, complete, $J7.9tit. Though nearly aa large as the other houae It is not nearly so ornamental. Like tha other, It la made of brick with sumptuous furnishings and fittings. v For a building that Is not now used xccpt by a charity bureau and one or two flab and meat dealers, the city paid out $18,t In cold raalu This is the mar. ket bouse which stands In the middle of Capitol avenue, Just east of Fourteenth street. It is only half as big as final plans contemplate, but It has not proved a success because ths city administration will ,not forco tho market . gardeners to congregate near It and do business only lu the vicinity. Competition of retail grocers, commission men and interested property owners has ruined tho new mar ket, which was opened with flying colors and every prospect ot success In 1903. This, also, is a brick building and Mr. Misncr drew the plans, r Isolation Hospital. The Isolation hospital was hullt by the city by day labor and costs, as it stands, Including $2,800 worth of . land, $14,117.48. It Is not strong on architecture, but it is a fine isolation hospital and affords better facilities for caring, "tor those' afflicted with contagious diseases than do Omaha's neighboring cities. The building proper cost $10,157, and the - water aud ' sewer plants, including windmill, about $1,000. . A temporary frame fire engine station at Twenty-fifth and Cuming, built lasc. fall, cost $2,098. It had to be constructed because the old brick bouse on Twenty fourth, near Cuming street, began to cava In one day and . had to be - abandoned. Plans have been drawn for a $22,000 house on the old site by W. T. Mlsner aud bids have been asked and the contract will be let next week. The 1 building is to be completed and ready for service by Sep tember 3L N. J. HUdlng will be the builder." Two other engine houses, one near the high school and the other In the vicinity of Twentieth and Lake streets, are In contemplation, but may not be built this year. Bonds for their construction for about $000 apiece were voted by the people at the last election. Apart from this the city has no new publlo buildings In sight, unless the mu nicipal asphalt plant, wldch is to . be erected at a cost of - $7,600, may - be ' ac cepted as such. KIRKMAN COURTGOES RIGHT ON Withdrawal of Oue Member Will Kot Affect States of Proeeedlag at Fort Hlobrara. It Is ascertained that after all the with drawal of Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Scott from the Klrkmaa court-martial at Fort Niobrara will not have the allghest effect upon the court-martial. The rule ot pro cedure In court-martial provides for a mini mum of five officers of superior or equal rank to the accused on trial before ths court as competent to undertake tho trial. In the Klrkman case thirteen officers were detailed for the court, and the withdrawal of any number of members down to the minimum will not Invalidate the trial, hence the withdrawal of Colonel 800 it from the court will not Interfere with the pro. ceedlngs. In the meanwhile Captain Klrkman Is acting as his own attorney ' in the case, and from the fact that he baa been fre quently detailed hitherto as an instructor In military law at military posts at which he has served. Is ait Indication that be Is able to look after his own interests. The nndliigs In the case will not be made publlo until aftT the proceedings have been reviewed by the War deai tmsaU BOORS BY NEBRASKA WOMEN Honors Awarded the Collections Shown at Various Expositions, MRS. BRIGGS HAS VALUABLE .COLLECTION Many Fine Works Are ow Credited to the Pens of . Women ' Who Have Ilgrhtened Home by Writ log. Nebraska v women have made ' quite ' a splash in the pool of literature, according to the records that are kept by Mrs. Mary E. Blatohley Brlggs' of Omaha. Mrs. Brlggs has made a specialty of collecting the published ' works, of , Nebraska women, and now has a gathering of. books,. essays and other evidences of mental- activity ou part of the "women of the state' that Is not only creditable, but Is really valuable. It has been her pleasure to exhibit this collection at the various expositions of ths country, beginning . with that of New Orleans, . when - the showing was - a - rather meager one, and culminating 'with the handsome- display made at St. . Louis last summer, when , a ' bronze medal was awarded.. A similar honor was won. at the Columbian exposition, Chicago, - and real dlatinctton . has been achieved each time the display has been made. Mrs. Brlggs whose husband, John 8. Brlggs, was at one time connected - with the old Herald, lives in Omaha at S809 Bristol street. She has the keenest In terest in everything which promotes the Intellectual life of the . Nebraska women. At an early day she became Interested. In the tentative literary ventures of women In Nebraska. She began to note the pub lication of such .efforts and to collect them. Mrs. Brlggs herself was one of, the first among the Immigrants to .the raw prairie state to rise above the work of homo making In ths wilderness and to express her sentiment of patrol Uam for the new home in vers. start of the Collection. "The thing which I think of most now," said Mrs. Brlggs in speaking- of her col lections, "was the very little we had to start with. When I first thought of mak ing such an exhibit I turned everywhere In the state to find what the women had done In the way of literature and It was very little Indeed. That was la 186, st the time of the Cotton Bemi-centeunlel ex position at New Orleans. The exhibit prised but one little book of ray own and a few pamplets and papers. But we are growing. At the time I was made a honorary member of the World's Congress auxiliary of the Columbian exposition . I felt the keen necessity of Nebraska women doing something In tho literary line. I had misgivings aa to being able to add much to the list from the Cotton stale exhibition that would paaa the criticism en the expert jury and be accepted Into , the library of the woaten's building. ' My husband was a printer of the old school and publisher, and ho and I were omnlvcr ous readers of newspapers. This coupled with a continuous residence in Nebraska since 1805 kept me in touch with w hat was being done in the state and aided me In obtaining the desired results. "We found a number of women engaged In press work, as reporters, literateurs aud serial writers, and many amateurs who promised well. We saw light ahead from this on and felt Nebraska might bo very proud. of its. possibilities, with a sufficient cause ' for pride from tho viewpoint of small beginnings. Our abiding faith and confidence in Nebraska has been Justified. We have worked so hard In this land for Its achievement along womanly Hues when tho soli seemed so barren and the work futile, but tho fact we have won two medals for literary work shoras advancement." C'onteat for m Typewriter. The first collection and exhibition of Ne braska literature , was made at the State fair in 1879. This was not by women, but by tho children." A-typewriter was to be given- for the best essay - on "Tree Plant ing' luNebiuska" and "Kindness to Pumb Animals," and Mrs. Brlggs says there were over 100 entries. ' The first 'collection of the literature of the women in Nebraska was made for, the New Orleans exposition and, consisted, of twelve entries of pamph lets and manuscripts. There was also a display at. tha Interstate exposition In Omaha during 1886. Mrs. Brlggs made catalogues of the fine arts displays for that and for. the Western Art association ex hibition In 1880. . It was In Chicago that the writings of Nebraska women first . received an award. The parchment goes on to, say that the exhibit of twenty volumes' Is inraked by vigor and breadth of thought and Is a valuable expresHlou of Intellectual growth and progress in literature and highly cred itable to the authors, of the ung state represented. It consists of poetry snd Ac tion, works-on agriculture and stock.' The Nebraska women represented In the collec tlon at that time were Mary Tremaln, Dr. Rachel Uoyd of the State university, poems by Jennie Tates Peabody, Margaret It. Smith and Mary E. Biigga, the. works of Edla W. Peat tie and Mary A. Rippley, prose and poetry by Floy E. Armstrong. Mary B. Buckley, Mme. De Clalue and Marion U. Buck; Amanda M. Edwards on agriculture and stock, Action by Julia . Reckmeyer, Mary K. Maule, Mary Oaylord; transla tions from tho French and the Spanish by Antoinette Ogdeu aud Illustrated botanical Works by Anna A. Morey. . These received a tins bronze medal, with Columbus on the face snd the name of Mrs. Brlggs on the obverse. . ' 'Collection at St. . "Louis. When Prof. ' Edwin ft. Barbour of the L'nlverslly of Nebraska was 'put In charge of the Nebraska exhibits of this sort at St, 1-ouls he wrote to Mrs. . Brlggs asking her to uiaks another collection of the pub lications of the works of women. This collection was rnadn, bringing tho set up to date. The books have lust been returned from St. IxhiIs, and Prof. Barbour baa noti fied, Mrs.. Brlggs the ooilevUou was given a medal, which will be forwarded in a short time. Among the books by Nebraska women ex hibited at St. Ixiuls Is "Anecdotes of Omahu." by M. B. Newton. The author was principal of tho Castellar street school and the book was dedicated to the Seventh A class and was Intended as a text book on local history. Another book la "Christ inas Stories From tho French und Spanish," by Antoinette Ogden. She was a teacher of French In the Omaha High school and Is now traveling in Europe. "Life and Labors of Reuben Gaylord," by Mary W. Oaylord, is an Interesting member of tho collection, for It tells of the lift In Omaha of the first Congregational minister here. "Tho White Ribbon Vibrations," by Flora II. Cassel, ts a set of verses and songs which were popu lar with that organisation. "For Mamsle's Sake,", by Mary K. Maule, is tho story of a boy's ambition and is dedicated t crippled children. Mary A. Rippley comes into the Hat with "Household . Service." Ella W. Peattls is the bright partlculsr star of the Nebraska women writers. Unfortunately she left the state long ago, so that much of her maturer work is not Included In the exhibit. "With Scrip and Staff," however, is one of the Nebraska books, and "The Story of America'" ts snother. This latter Is rather an ambitious work, dealing with romantlo Incidents - In Americun history from the discovery to the date of publica tion, 1882. , , Mrs. Brlggs' Contribution. Mrs. Brlggs herself contributes some cata logues and book of articles and poems writ ten since 1867 in Nebraska, among them tho poem, "Every Tear," which was criticised by Henry W. Longfellow-just prior to his death. The book contains a portion of the letter written by his daughter, Mrs. Charles A. Pana, and signed by Longfellow. Mrs. Brlggs, who took an active part in the women's work for the Chicago World's fair, was one of those who compiled "Fame's Tribute to Children." This book contains autograph matter ;of a very large number of great people and the first volume sold for over $26,000. The .Lewis and Clark exposition in Port land will be snother opportunity for the women of Nebraska to win recognition for their literary work and it may be that an exhibit will be mads. Mrs. Brlggs has been an exhibitor' at many places, but she has no? yet made up her mind to make a show ing for the Nebraska women in the west. ROOM FOR JUVENILE COURT city should be willing to bear a proportion ate share. Tha matter was referred to the loinmitteo on court house and jail, of which Mr. Brunlng Is chairman, and the committee will report at a meeting to be held next Friday.
