THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. 1005. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Fnblio Improvements Are Getting Much Attention Jest Now. BIG CAMPAIGN IS WELL UNDER WAY I nrfrtdntr Exists Onlr Detail, for the Work Mnst Bf Well Carried Oat When Done. Public Inoprovrments fr.rme en Issus In South Omilu at the present time. There never was a time when so many hi Im provements were In contemplation, and to line the language of a prominent rlty official, there never was a time when the Improvements planned were so uncertain. There are the newer bonds, the two blK paving contracts and the city hall and park Improvements so Ion discussed. None of them seem absolutely certain at the present time, although it Is considered by those who profess to know, that at least the pavlna; Jobs will be carried through at an early date, or as Boon as the work can be done. The sewer bonds constitute a big propo sition. The city Is facing a suit on ac count of Mud creek, which the new sewer system wll probably dispose of for good. The finance committee of the city council la still deliberating as to the amount of money, required to bluld the proposed sewer system, and It Is understood that the amount will be no less thnn $240,0(10. I'nder the new law this city con expend but IJ60.000 for sewer purposes. Readers of The Bee are quite familiar In ' a general way with the plans drawn by City Engineer Rosewater of Omaha, at the request of the city council here. The plans . contemplate a complete sewer system, and members of the council are Inclined to be- Here that the plans ought to be adhered to pretty generally when the system to be voted for Is finally designated by the council. It Is believed that such an under taking should be deliberately undertaken, when so much Is Involved, and when It Is considered too, Ihat the system of sewers " contemplated would, when constructed, .. withstand the ravages of time long after i the present generation Is gone. Place Voting; Machines. City Clerk Qillln Is placing a number of the new voting machines In as many places throughout the city to enable the voters to learn the machines as well as possible before the election. One machine has been placed at the barber shop of Frank Flttslmmons, Twentieth and L . Itreets, another at the Arthur East build ing on South Twenty-fourth, still another on West L street and others will be placed elsewhere. The authorities are well (leased with the Interest manifested in the machines and It Is believed that, with the . learning the voters will acquire at the ' primaries, they will be enabled to use the machines Intelligently on election day, Kovember . Rain Does Damage. The recent rains have done a conslder tble amount of damage In various ways to louth Omaha. The electrical feature of :he storm Is probably responsible for In terference with the electric light plant, which has been more or less bothered, and In some Instances the telephone company has had trouble. The washouts, already bad were made much worse by the down- pour of Friday evening, and the street gang will find trouble In repairing the worst places for several days to come.

WHY IVORY IS eYpENSIVE Task Borers In This Country on the Jump for Bargains Workers In the Material Are Few. It Is a curious fact that notwithstanding the marked advance In the price of Ivory in recent years the volume of sales has hot diminished, but has actually Increased. Tusks have been selling In the markets of Iondon and Antwerp at an advance of about 50 per ent over the prices charged a few years ago. The causes which have lead to this ad vance In price are very Interesting. It Is not due to any artificial manipulation of the markets, In the great centers, nor Is It due to Increased demand or scarcity of ele phants. For the cause we must look to the heart of Africa where a spirit of genuine commercialism Is manifesting Itself among the natives. Their wealth Is In Ivory', and they have learned to value It as such. In deed, the wealth of leading men among the natives was once commonly counted in tusks. They would say of a dusky capitalist of this kind that he wae worth so many tusks. Just as one In this country would say that a man Is worth so many dollars Of course, that was a natural phase In the develop ment of a primitive people. The red man estimated his riches In wamptim, and the Laplander In furs. They often would part with their possessions for a few beads or trinkets. They did not know the value of a dollar. Certainly It can no longer be said of the natives of Africa that they do not know the value of money. They have learned. Thus It comes that the "heathen In his blindness" Is not so blind as has been supposed. Increased transportation facilities and telegraphic communication have brought Africa Into closer touch with the rest of the world. It Is said that a native may be working 1.000 miles In the Interior, and yet he can quote you the cash value of tusks In the Antwerp or London market. Of course. It Is a far cry from Africa to the United States, and yet there la a very good market for Ivory in thla country. Alert and enterprising buyers are always on the lookout for opportunities to pick up good tusks. If Bostock or Barnura & Bailey ever chRnce to have an elephant die on their hands In this country. H Is not a dead loss to them by any means. It Is likely that an energetic buyer of Ivory will be bidding for It before the carcass is cold? American manufacturers confine them- selves mainly, though not exclusively, to such workings of Ivory as are appropriate for toilet goods. The process of manu facture Is a delicate one, requiring consid erable skill. A tusk weighing, say, from seventy-five to 125 pounds, Is bolted to a moving table, on which It Is sawed Into plates. During this stage the tusk has to be kept thoroughly wet down to prevent burning, as Ivory Is very hard and a good deal of heat Is generated by the friction. From these plates or flat pieces various rough shapes are sawed out, according to the forms or designs which are to be per fected later on. In sawing out these shapes care has to be taken to avoid spots or blem ishes In the Ivory, and at the same time guard against wasting valuable material. To be able to do thla good Judgment and discrimination Is one test of a good work man In Ivory, and the number of men who are competent to do this kind of work Is very limited. Indeed, Ivory working seems to be a "select" sort of craft. Into which but few are Initiated. Jewelers' Weekly. Railway Xotea and rersonala. F.

ARTIST OF HIE SHELL GAME Cy Warmen'e Becolleotiene of Soapy Smith, Who Died Suddenly. WORKED CREEOE WHEN CREEDE WAS HOT Characteristics of. a Smooth sharp Who Gravitated Over the Westera Hemisphere Etching- of Life In Creede. Some of the most entertaining features In the busy ilfe of "Soapy'' Smith were overlooked by The Bee correspondent, whose ruminations at the Skagway grave side of the noted gamester appeared In the last Issue of The Sunday Bee. Smith was one of the pioneer sports of Creede, Colo.. In 1892, and the way he worked the game In that noted silver camp Is told by Cy Warman, editor, historian and poet of Creede. Listen to Cy's tale:trl With a press franchise, a force of print ers, a lead pencil and a power press, the writer had gone to the booming camp to establish a morning paper, with a telegraah service, In a town that had been In ex istence but three short moons and was not yet definitely located on the maps. It was March, 1892, and that means mid winter In the mountains, 8,000 or 10,000 feet above tidewater. The snow was blustering down Windy Gulch and flecking the felt hate that covered the heads of the motly multitude that was buying lots from the state land board that had come up from Denver to sell the school lands upon which the town had been built. Lots sold at auction for $100, J1.000 and even 15,000, that had been worth nothing the year liefore and were worth little more than nothing a year after the sale. The water washing down the dumps was bad, the whisky was worse and many men were sick. Having secured a lot by the side of the little river that ran through the camp, the first payment upon which was $100, we turned, tired, cold, homesick and hungry, to walk away. In a little bushless spot by the roadside was a board shanty upon the door of which was tacked a tin beer sign. Inside half a dozen worklngmen laborers or miners they might be were sitting on the wooden benches about the stove. They had been In animated conversation, but hushed It as they noted the entrance of a newcomer. A Business Venture. One small man with pale, lusterless hair and cold trray eyes, was recognizable as Tom, the shell man "Troublesome Tom," they called him. I had seen a car penter pause at Tom's three-legged stool that day, watch the game for a moment, then slowly slide his tool bag from his shoulder to the ground, put $5 on the table and pounce upon one of he shells. He lost his $5 and $2 more, called the shell man a thief and demanded his money back. "Yes," said the man with his cold eyes fixed upon the top of the mountain, "I presume that's what you wanted with my money to give It back." Now the carpenter was pushed aside by a man who could guess. This man was able to win three times out of five. Seeing Viat the game could be beaten a merchant from 'Denver put down $10. tried again and lost. Crumpling a $60 bill In his left hand, the merchant watched the two half shells for a moment and then made a grab. "Turn It over, turn It over," he demanded excitedly, dropping the crum pled bill. Tom turned it over, but there was nothing In It nothing for the mer chant. "Why didn't you turn it yo'sef?" said a man with a southern accent and a full black beard: "that fellow's a shark." The merchant glanced at his questioner, flashed another bill and watched the shells. Suddenly he nailed one of them. "Take yo' hooks off that shell," said the dark man to Tom, "and let the gentleman turn It over." "I don't see any money," said Trouble some Tom. "There's my money," said the merchant, dropping the bill. "You fcet fifty?" "I bet the bill," answered the merchant. Now the shell man moved his hand from the shell and allowed It to hover over the new note. The man turned the shell slowly, but the pea was not there. Even as he turned It Tom's velvet fingers closed on the $100 hill. Now this same man with the Georgia pronounclatlon came from behind the pine bar and spoke to me. He had no whiskers, but I"eould swear that this was the man that had helped the merchant play oft tho hundred. "Yo th' a'tlst that's goln' to staht the dally papah, eh?" "Yes," I answered, and as my eyes wan dered over Ihe faces of the company my mind went hack to Denver. "flood bye," Colonel Arktns of the News had said; "when you come back you'll be wearing a wooden overcoat." There wns something In the air of this place that re called the colonel's prophecy. "Ooln' to make wah on the gamblahs?" asked the dark man. "Not for gambling." 'What fo', then?" "Pandbngs, six-shooters and masks," was the reply. "Well, seh, If that's yo' gait we can gal lop In the same heat," said he enthusiasti cally, offering me his hand. "My name Is Rmlth Soapy Smith an' when yo' in trouble say so, an' I'll help yo'." That Is the way we became acquainted, goapy ae Friend and Funeral Director Iter, when Bob Ford, the slayer of Jcsie James, got gay and shot up the town, the Chronicle roasted Ford. Ford said he would go kill Taber. the local man, for crit icising his conduct ; Hartlgan, the city ed itor, for printing It, and the editor for run ning such a paper. Now came Soapy, of his own motion, standing for the editor, who was unarmed, and the desperado was awed Into quiet. And that Is the way they became friends. Oamhler Joe Slmmens, one of Soapy's "working men," died suddenly two days before the first Issue of the Chronicle, and Soapy gave him a big funeral. Stand ing at the open grave, he opened cham pagne, pouring some Into the grave and drank some, saying as he did so: "Here's to Jee's soul over there. If there Is any over there," and passed the bottle to his next friend. The description of that funeral which Hartlgan wrote for the first Issue gave the Chronicle a start and made It wel come at the exchange table before It was two days old. It's a mistake to aasuma that gam biers do no good. Joe Slmmens helped make the Chronicle. One day a man came over from Chalk Creek to burn a lot of money that he had Just received for a group of claims. At dusk, when he entered the Chronicle nffl.ee his trousers were stuffed like the trousers of a foot ball player stuffed with money. His face was flushed and his eyes dancing. He was a miner by profession. a gambler by Instinct and a deep drinker He told Taber frankly that he had ex pected a reporter would find him out at the hotel, but seeing the paper was shy on enterprise he had come In to give up the news of the Chalk Creek district. He hinted that seeing his name repeated la the paper would help him over at the aew camp where he was mayor, magistrate, postmaster and notary public. "It Uuit Uksuess could go oa Uia first page." he said sliding a photograph ever to the reporter, "I'd be willing to pay for the cut." He offered to "open wine" for the gang, printers and all. If they would Join him at the Albany for a midnight feed. In the twilight of the following day he oalled again. He was not nearly so frisky. The stuffing was gone from his trousers and the twinkle from his eye. Pulling a chair up to the reporter's desk he began to pour out the story of his undoing. Hartigan, seeing a smile beginning to play about the smooth face of the reporter, went over to give Taber an assignment, and Vaughn, the master mechanic (and general manager In the editor's absence) came In from the back room. Half an hour later the man went out. "Say," he called back from the door, "you don't need to mention names, but I'll stand by the paper If you give the outfit a good roast." Taber had written the heading for the ex pose in the presence of the Chalk Creeker, and he had cheered and applauded It. When he picked up the paper on the fol lowing morning he was delighted to see that It had not been changed or softened. A few weeks later Soapy came In one afternoon with two revolvers, a rifle and a shotgun. "Fellah's Jumped yo' claim," said he, leaning the shotgun against the editor's desk; "I Just brought these things along In case you-all might be shy on fightin" Tone." "How's that?" asked the editor. "Why that fellah Streepy's drlv pllln' In the rlveh, built a house on 'em an" tu'ned the rlveh thu' yo' lot." "Well, what can we do about It?" "Do? Why make the houn' Jump out th' wlndeh an' take the house." "Streepy'll fight, won't he?" "Oh, yes, he'll fight, but you-all must go heeled or not go at all. If you want me I'll go along Just for the excitement." After consulting Vaughn, the foreman, who had lived a great deal In the mines, the editor concluded to let the lot go, and Soapy, taking up his arsenal, went out. The Wining Days. At the end of 1892 the historian added an other stanza, to the running reoord of Creede camp: The autumn winds blow bleak and chill. The sighing, quivering aspen waves About tne summit of the nlll, Above the unrecorded graves Where halt, abandoned Durros feed. And coyotes call and this Is Creede. Slanting Annie, Gambler Joe, And ' Bud" Bob Ford are sleeping there. But slippery, sly "Sapollo," He seems to shun the golden stair, He's turned Ids time to livelier tricks He's doing Denver politics. Strawberries were 60 cents a box In Den ver. Hon. Lttfe l'ence, candidate for con gress, hud brought a box home for hie xamlly and himself. As the future famous congressman passed into his yard he glanced over the low fence, and saw hie neighbor's boys sitting on the scant lawn, each with a box of berries between his knees. When they had eaten all they could hold, they played Indian by painting each other's faces with ripe berries, and gave what was left to the "poor" children who lived In the block. As the coming congressman stood watch ing the boys, the gentleman who lived next door came home to luncheon. The two men exchanged "good morning," and then the prospective legislator suld that he had been asked to name a demo crat in his ward for Judge of election. If his neighbor would be good enough to give i na name, the candidate would be pleased ty hand it In, and he made ready with pencil and notebook. "You're a democrat, I presume, Mr Mister " "O, yes, I'm a democrat all right enough," said the father of the strawberry boys. "And would you be willing to serve, Mister" "Smith.", said the man. smilingly: "Jef- Ith, Jr.. called 'Soapy' ferson Randolph Smith, for short." The man dropped his pencil and notebook as Soapy went laughing across the lawn leading his little children by the hand. Pence had not dreamed that the notorious short -card, shell man. and all-round smooth Kph .was the head of the quiet and appar ently happy family next door. Later Soapy went traveling, and favored the writer with some odd and Interesting letters. The flrt came from 8outh Am erica, another from Havana, and still an other from Juneau. It seemed to me that this thoughtfulness on the part of a man who had once stood for me at a killing, and offered to do It again, deserved a reply. So I wrote him briefly, concluding: "Write me when there Is anything that will make a story, and be sure to wire me when they hang you, which will doubtless occur during the coming summer." This letter prohably never reached him, as no wire came back. Bee Want Boosters. Ads are the Best Business WITH THK BOWI.EHJ.

Hunt, who Is one of a group of men seek ing a telephone franchise for an Independ ent company In Omaha, "that we should be met at every step with such strong opposition, without any good or sufficient reason being offered why such- a franchise should not be granted. "This new company Is to be an Omaha and Nebraska concern, backed by Ne braska capital. We stand willing to give any sort of guaranty that It Is not a sell out proposition. "Here are our business organlxatlons spending large sums of money and much valuable time to draw trade and attract friendship to Omaha; now, when we offer to put In operation a powerful Instru mentality for that very purpose, we are hindered and blocked In every possible way by the monopoly which happens at present to have control of the local field.

A MODEL LODGING HOUSE Neve Yorlc Poor to Have an Abode Ineqoalled for Comfort and Healthfnlaeas. Poor men and women are to have a lodging house which, In point of comfort and healthfulness ,1s not equaled. Work on the building will be started In about a week, so that the house may be ready for lodgers on January 1, 1906. While providing every comfort and neces sity, the charge to lodgers will simply be that they abide by the rules and keep clean. As a first Installment for the expense of the new lodging house the city will pay out $175,000 for Its construction. The site selected for the building Is In the south side of Twenty-fifth street. Just cist of Fifth avenue. With a large dining room, where good food will be served, many baths, comfort able beds, a large court and a roof gar den, those who go into the house will find better accommodations than they receive In any of the lodging houses In the city where a charge Is made. While through the medium of a fine, free lodging house, the city Is attempting to Improve the con dition of houses where a charge Is nade, It Is also providing, through the lodging house, to reduce the number of men In the city who do not work. In the new house there will be accom modations for fiofl persons BOO men and 100 women. There will be two entrances In Twenty-fifth street, one for men and the other for women, who on entering the building will be ushered Into separate re ception rooms. From there the men will go to the basement, where they will leave their street garments, and pars under warm shower baths Into a drying room, where they will be given night clothes. After that they . will, be taken back to the first floor, Into a large dining room where "" f healthy food will be served. fter whlch ,hey eltnPr B,t, ln court' Oil lllf I UUl nr H'J 1 J uuimwiiouio vriiaiu- eled beds prepared for them on the third, fourth and fifth floors. Before going to their baths all the men will be examined and those suffering from disease will be sent to separate baths and after that a separate sleeping room. On the second floor of the building are the baths for women. Each of these Is separated from the others by a partition. After disrobing no man or woman will he allowed to touch his or her clothing again until he or she Is ready to leave the next morning. In the Interim all clothes will be passed through a disinfecting room. Although It will be extremely easy for all persons to get Into the new lodging house. It will be another matter for some to get out. On passing out every person must pass a window, where watchers will be stationed. Here men wonted for crimes will be taken out and detained.
