AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Oouncil Eushef Through City Hall and
Park Boid Ordinances.
BIDS FOR BUILDING PLANS TO BE ASKED
Owlna- to Prospective Litigation it
I 5ot Mkelr There W ill He Mr
Bidders for the City
Hall Bonds.
A special meeting of the 8outh Omaha
rlty founrll was held last night. The city
hall and park bond ordinance were panned
under a suspension of the rules. The coun
cil ordered the city clerk to advertise these
bonds for sale In an eastern paper called
the ISond Buyer. It Is understood that the
publication will rnmmeneo aa noon an the
copy can reach this eastern paper. These
bonds will lie advertised fur sale on May 1.
The city hall bonds are supposed to carry
Interest at the raw of i per cent. No
bond for parks will lie advertised. The
people desiring to, sell property to the city
for park purpose have agreed to take their
pay In bonds. Consequently the advcrtlse
ment for park bonds will not run.
It appears to lie the Intention of the
council to advertise for bids for a city hull
building Just ns soon after May 1 aa the
bonds arc sold. I'lans will have to be ad
vertised for and the plans accepted will be
paid first money, that Is, the architect re
ceiving; the award will be given the super
vision of the construction of the building.
The second and third sets of plans will
doubtless bo awarded a bonus as Is custo
mary, but this wns not derided upon at
the meeting last night.
Since there seems to be a probability of
an Injunction when the council attempts
to sell these bonds fur a city hall site and
building It Is not considered that there will
be many bidders. While the city clerk has
received numerous Inquiries ahout these
bonds the buyers will hesitate about mak
ing a purchase when litigation Is sure to
be the result If an nttempt Is made to
carry this deal through.
Christian Association Directors Meet.
Thursday night the directors of the local
Young Men's Christian association held a
meeting and discussed finances principally.
Secretary Marsh says of this meeting:
The financial statements to the board of
directors were the most encouraging In
ears. Over $1,700 has been raised In sub
scriptions since January 1. It Is hoped that
the $1,000 yet needed for the year will be
In sight by May 1. The deficit at the end
of last year of JMjO has been provided for,
besides current expenses. The member
ship Is 424."
Tho annual election to fill seven va
cancies on the board of directors will be
held by ballot at the rooms, between 1 and
S o'clock May 1. Active members only may
vote.
The Indoor athletic meet for men wljl be
held Thursday evening, April 20. The ten
nis courts will be ready for play In a few

Locating Stolen Property.
Last night the police of South Omaha
located some of tho property supposed to
have been stolen by the gang arrested by
Captain Shields and Olncer Lowry Wednes
day night. The property recovered was
taken from Darling's hardware store. The
police of the two Omnhas are working to
gether In the matter and by doing this it
Is expected a good case will be mado
against the rrlsoners now In Jail. Chief
Briggs said that no complaint against Wil
liams and Hoffman would be filed this
week. As most of the crimes alleged to
have been committed by these men were
Omaha affairs It Is expected that the pris
oners will be turned over to the Omaha
police.
Parlnsr Missouri Avenue.

souri avenue sro now being advertised by
the city clerk. All bidders will be ex
pected to file proposals with the city clerk

will be 19,800 square yards of vitrified
brick paving at nn estimated cost of HI, 580.
The grading will mean tho excavation of
I, 230 square yards of dirt at a cost of
II, 250. Making the grading and the paving
cost $42,830. Tho curbing contract has al
ready been let. Each bidder will be re
quired to attach a certified check for $l,0u0
to his bid. This check will be returned to
unsuccessful bidders. The check for $1,000

"Yankee Hoodie" a Hessian Tone.
A translation by Consul Schumann of
Mainz of an article In the Frankfurter
Zeltung reads as follows:
"In the publication Ilessonland (No. 2,
190fi), Johann I.ewalter gives expression to
his opinion that 'Yankee Doodle' was
originally a country dunce of a district of
the former province of Kur-Hesse, called
the Schwalm.
"It Is well known that the tune of 'Yan
kee Doodle' wns derived from a military
march played by the Hessian troops during
the war of the revolution In America. In
studying the dances of the Schwalm, Le
walter was struck by the similarity In form
S-nd rhythm of 'Yankeo Doodle' to the music
of these dances. Last year, at the klrmess
of the village of Wasenberg, when 'Yankee
Doodle' was played, the voting men and
girls swung Into a true Schwalmer dance,
as though the music had been composed for
It. During the war of 1776 the chief recruit
ing office for the enlistment of the Hessian
hired soldiers was JCiegunholn, inKur-Hesse.
"It therefore eeems probable that tho
Hessian recruits from the Schwalm who
served In the pay of Great Britain In Amer
ica during the revolutionary war, and
whose military band Instruments consisted
of bugles, drums and fifes only, carried over
with them the tune, known to them from
childhood, and played It aa a march."
A tirlssly and a Tragedy.
Near the old San Gabriel mission, within
nine miles of Los Angeles, a hermit has
lived for many years In a little adobe hut.
This week he died and was burled. Not
having any known relatives, Deputy Ad
ministrator Petcrmlchel went out to the
shack to take charge of the old man's
effects.
As the hermit died suddenly away from
the shack the deputy was the first one to
break the solitude of the dwelling. When
he pushed open the door If was so dark
Inside that objects were not distinguish
able, so he stepped Inside. Then he was
confronted by a grizzly bear which rose
to his hind feet and with a Mow of his
paw sent the deputy flying through the
door. The deputy did not stop to Inventory
tho property, but took to his heels. The
bear followed him out of the shack and
then struck out In the direction of the
mountains. It is thought that bruin found
the dour f the shack open and entered,
and that the door then got pushed shut by
the bear, making him a prisoner

SHERMAN AVENUE IMPROVERS
Active Club Whose Wants Are
Neither Few Nor Small at
Present.
Tho Fifth Ward Sherman Avenue Im
provement club has directed Us paving
committee to confer with Mr. Cathors and
the city council and see If some plan can
not be devlBed whereby tho fence now
maintained by Mr. Cathers at Twentieth
and Locust streets may be removed.
While on the Locust street proposition It
was also agreed that there Is need of a
viaduct across the railway tracks at Locust
street, whether the boulevard Is built along
that street or not. The question of having
new sidewalks of a permanent character
along Locust street from Sixteenth to Four
teenth street was also talked over, and
Councilman O'Brien, who was present at
the meeting, promised to see what he could
do In the matter.
Considerable time was spent in discussing
the location for the fire engine house to
be placed somewhere north qf Lake street,
In the vicinity of Nineteenth street. Coun
cilman O'Brien rather favored the Idea that
an attempt should be made by the club
to have the- engine house located at Six
teenth and Locust Btreets. The Are and
police committee of the club was there
fore directed to labor with the Fire and
Police board and the city council to have
tho Sixteenth and Locust street proposi
tion accepted.
The committee on lights was directed to
try and secure some of the new electric
lights for the Fifth ward. Messrs. Dave
O'Brien and Leroy Lucas were appointed
a special committee to look into the light
matter.
A resolution was adopted that while
North Sixteenth street was now under
going repairs, that a thirty-foot strip of
asphalt be placed In the street from Nich
olas south to Izard street, In order that
there might be a continuous asphalt street
on Sixteenth from Izard northward.
Another resolution was adopted request
ing that gas mains be laid from Sixteenth
to Fourteenth streets on Spencer, Blnney
and Pinckney streets.
At the last meeting of the club the meet
ing night was changed from Wednesday
to Friday nights In order to accommodate
the prayer meeting desires of many mem
bers. As none of the members who asked
for the change were present last night. It
was concluded that more members would
be able to attend the meetings regularly
on Wednesday evenings, and it was de
cided by an unanimous vote to change the
meeting night again to Wednesday.
Ieroy Lucas was elected assistant secre
tary. A membership committee consisting
of Joseph Redman, Charles Saunders and
David Cote was appointed for the ensuing
term.
It Is Intended to invite the North Omaha
and North Sixteenth Street Improvement
clubs to meet with the club at an early
date.

ALFRED CORNISH & CO.
HARNESS and SADDLE STORE,
Ttlepboo 2JH. 1210 Farnam 5t.
County Commissioner Bruning, chairman
of the committee on court house and jail,
la getting estimates from contractors on
elevator propositions for the court houBe.
Mr. Bruning is doing this largely in an ex
perimental way, but hopes that somt thing
tangible will result. He says that, with
Wie general public, he realizes that there
should be nn elevator in the court house,
not only for purposes of convenience, but
also to provide better ventilation for tho
basement rooms.
"The great drawback to this Improve
ment, if any exists," said Mr. Bruning, "is
the fact that there Is a solid concictc or
stone foundation In the center of the build
ing on which the tower rests. But this
does not seem to me insurmountable in tho
light of modern structural science. I think
It can be easily overcome. The very great
benefit and Improvement that would result
from having an entrance on Farnam street,
at least on the street level, to my mind
ought to overcome any question of diffi
culty or cost. It should prove, If I am not
badly mistaken, not only a popular Im
provement, but also an economical one,
from every standpoint.
"This building can be modernized if It
cannot at present bo rebuilt. We have a
smokestack that Is eating tip Its own cost
In fuel every year. No private business
concern which pays as much as the county
dors for coal would allow that stack to
stand any longer than the time necessary
to tear it down and build a new one. Wa
cannot now burn steam coal, but must have
anthracite at a high figure. We are simply
allowing a piece of obsolete, construction to
boss us and pile up a coal bill that is as
tounding, under all the circumstances.
"I do not know whether we can get this
thing In shape to have these alterations
made, but I am going to try. The other
commissioners, I am sure, feel just as I do,
that something ought to be done In the di
rections indicated. I have heard no objec
tions which cannot he overcome, In my
Judgment."

was getting along all right nnd that he
soon would be on his way home.

SINN'S GAME JFAILS TO WORK
Writes Wife He Is Dead and
Signs Auother nnie to
the Letter.
R. C. Sinn of Laconia, Iud., came west
about a month ago with the intention of
buying land at Bonesteel, S. D., but finding
that the prices exceeded his 'means, he
drifted to Omaha and put up at tho Arcade
hotel. He did not appear to have had any
definite plans after arriving In this citv
and devoted most of his time to drinking.
He wrote home for some more mopcy, but
his wife refused to send it. Having ex
hausted his supply of cash and being en
feebled by his protracted drinking, he wrote
a letter to his wife on the Arcade hotel
paper stating that a man named R. C. Sinn
of Laconia, Ind., who had been stopping
at tho hotel, had been found dead, and
he had made some disposition of the body
which he thought would satisfy his people,
and then signed the letter with the name
of William Hope, manager of the hotel.
Mrs. Ida E. Sinn, his wife, then wrote
to Manager Hope asking for further par
ticulars of Mr. Sinn's death, and added
that a sorrowful widow with three chil
dren would gratefully appreciate any In
formation he might be uble to give. A
telegram was afterward received from a
man named J. A. Crabtroe, apparently a
friend of the family, asking for deflnlfe
information about Blnn's death.
Manager Hope wrote to Mrs. Sinn stat
ing that far from being a dead man, Mr.
Blnn was a very live one, birring certain
disabilities arising from the drinking of
too much whisky. By this time Sinn was
In a very bad condition, both mentully and

"Are there, then, no social amenities among
