SIX PER CENT I11CII ENOUGH
Omaha Jobbers Talk About the Set
Benti for Quartern.
MONEY IS CHEAPER THAN THAT
Dank Wllllac to Take L Than
Landlord Appear to Wilt on
the Security ot
Lease.
Omaha Jobbers lake exception to the
statements made at the meeting of the
Real Estate exchange this wetk, when It
waa Intimated the Omaha business men are
unwilling to pay as much for buildings as
la paid In Kansas City and elsewhere. It
In the general opinion among the Jobbers
that 9 per cent net la a fair rental proposi
tion, and one to which no one could object.
They say that 7 per cent la higher than
they consider It necessary to go, for they
claim to be able to get what they want
cheaper.
"Six per cent net aeema to me to be con
sidered about the right figure on a lease
for a building in the Jobbing section," said
W. B. Wright. "Anyone who wants to get
a building would, I think, be ready to pay
that amount, which when you take Into
consideration the taxes and the insurance
makes the rental really 7 or ?Va per cent.
There was a time once when a business
man expected to pay t per cent to the
banks for money and outsiders had to pay
10 per cent. When It got down to 7 per
cent we thought money was cheap. But If
you tried to charge any reputable firm 7
per cent now It would not consider it at
all, because It would not have to. When
we can get all the money we want at, say,
5 per cent. It Bccma to me that 7 per cent
for a building would not be right; It
would be too much. The man who loans
the money has no better seourlty than the
man who leases the building. The matter
depends largely, too, on what you are
looking for. If they can get 7 per cent In
Kansas City, that ls all right; but I re
member a man who thought he was going
to get 10 per cent and who ended by not
getting anything not even his principal. I
would rather have a safe, conservative
business proposition at 6 per cent net than
something else at 7 per cent. I think
Omaha Jobbers pay as much for buildings
as men In similar business do In other
cities under like conditions."
"I should say that 7 per cent net for a
building would be too high," said E. V.
Lewis. "The statements that were made
at the Real Estate exchange meeting ap
parently were rather broad, for it makes
a great deal of difference as to the loca
tion and the other conditions. I am not
prepared to say what Is paid In other
cities, . for I have not looked the matter
up. We should have to compare locations
and values and everything else before we
could say. There is plenty of money to
be had In Omaha, however, at 6 per cent,
and this seems odd If they can get 7 per
cent In other cities. It seems to be gen
erally considered that 6 per cent net is a
fair rental In Omaha, but 7 per cent net
I should consider too high."
AMATEURS TO GIVE A PLAY
Omlkron Alpha Ft Will Present "A

Saturday Msrht.
The Omlkron Alpha Fl, a local fraternity,
will present Saturday, April 29, In the
Creighton auditorium. Twenty-fifth and

time It was given for the benefit of St.
Matthias choir. The plot contains more
than the ordinary stage story, with rich
qualities of keen humor that bubbles
throughout the play, and together with
the scenlo effect and correct costumes go
to make up an almost perfect tout en
semble. The production is given under the
direction of Miss Urlau. The cast:

County Surveyor Haa Trouble In
Trying to Make River Ran
Under Bridge.
i
Owing to the shifting character of the
Elkhorn river near Elk City, Douglas
county Is Just now put to heavy cost to
save the most expensive bridge It owns,
This structure cost almost twice as much
money as any other In the county, and un
til within the last six months has been
comparatively free from danger. Like the
shirting and sliding Missouri, the Elkhorn
haa of late been developing more mid dan
gerous curves with every passing month
Instead of sticking to its original channel
it has got to cutting across In a way to
sweep away the banks on which the ap
proaches rent. It has also circled In and
got under some of the sled pillars.
The result of ull this has been that
County Surveyor Edqulst has been com-,
polled to cut ditches through the corkscrew
I windings In order to semi the water reason
ably straight under the central spans of
I the bridge. This work and some wing jams
and diking has coBt up to date a trifle over
$1,100, and the end Is not yet In sight.

The Island of Cuba, which promises to
be one of our Insular possessions one of
these days, has got a well deserved repu
tation throughout the entire world for the
production of delicious tobacco. Heavy
dews at night; tropical flowers In such
profusion produce conditions that are r.o-
j where Ire apparent. Each locality of the
Island raifes tobacco with its own peculiar
quality.
There never has been a segnr manufac
turer in "the I'nilcrt States, who had the
courage to cieclc.re that he was using any
certain grnd of Havana Tobacco except
the McConnell Segur I'ompuny of Indian-

ON CRIMINAL DOCKET FOR MAY
Light List of Cases Presented for the
Prosecutor's Employment.
NO MAJOR CRIMES DOWN ON THE LIST
Several Promise to Consume Much
. Time, unt None Will Call
for Much Attention
from Pnbltc.
But very few criminal cases of any Im
portance went over the term of the district
court Just closed. Everything was pretty
well cleaned up by County Attorney Sla
baugh and his assistants. There are sev
eral cases pending for the May term which
promise to consume a good deal of time.
Among the cases docketed are also several
for criminal assault, forgery, robbery and
offenses of that kind. Not much trouble
is anticipated in disposing of these, how
ever. Four cases that promise to be stubbornly
fought from present indications are those
against J. C. Bynum and F. B. Beeman,
for operating installment investment com
panies without state licenses. There are
two indictments against each man. By
num's bond was forfeited at the April term,
but the county attorney understands that
he will come from the south to face the
music when the cuse Is called. Beeman
renewed his bond at the last term and will
come from Georgia to stand trial at the
proper time.
Elmer O. Cochran will face a Jury on the
charge of having embezzled JK3 from E.
E. Howell, the coal man, while In his em
ploy as a bookkeeper In April, 1904. Coch
ran la out on bond.
A. T. Klopp will stand trial on the charge
of having tampered with the ballots of the
election for members of the water board
by a shift of the names during the time
they were being printed.
William Buckley's appealed case Is to
come up. In the county court Buckley was
fined $100 for attempted Jury bribing. Ha
wants to have the Judgment of the lower
court upset.
The case of State against George Breck
ner for the killing ot Arthur Kuhn may
have to be turned over to the Juvenile
court because of the age of the defendant,
who Is only a boy, as was his victim.
The case of State against John Hrock,
the young man who shot his father to pro
tect his 'mother, has already been nolled.
The only witness available for the state Is
Mrs. Hrock, and she would be an unwilling
witness, so there was little hope of con
viction. Because of the death of three of the par
ties concerned. It is very likely the case of
State against Mrs.' Rose O'Brien will never
bo called for trial. She Is aliened to have
committed forgery, but the payee Is dead
and so are the parties whose names were
alleged to have been forged.
