Water.
At tne regular monthly meeting held at
the efltce ef the Water board Id the city
hail Wednesday the following proceedings
were had, as stenographicelly reported:
Present: Congdon, Coad. Howell, Hippie
and Milton T. Barlow, president pro tern.
There were also present Mr. Wright, at
torney (or the board, and Mr. Koenig, sec
retary. Mr. Congdon I hear that Boyd Is very
much better; I Intended to go out and see
him today. I understand from Mrs. Boyd
that 'I would be permitted to see him, but
I. did not get around to It, but I will go
out tomorrow.
Mr. Barlow I am glad he Is getting along
all right and hope he will soon be out.
Mr. Congdon He Is getting to be a pretty
old man, and he has been a very hearty
and bale one in his, time.
Mr. Coad He Is not an old man. He is
only 71. He la young yet.
Congdon He has been such a strong (el
low that he did not take the care of him
self, that he might have done. But he's
ail right
v- MxQWB,JUi wejr Mr. Barlow, I was
reminded' today of your old friend and
customer. Loyal I Smith.
Mr, Congdon Was not that the worst
thing you ever heard of how that fellow
worked the Whole crowd.
r Hew He Worked Theaa.
Mr. Barlow-I ll ' tell you the way he
worked us. He came here with S85.0OO and
opened up here and run a business with a
brass band and other things. He kept his
account at our bank, and things were
swimming along, but I was afraid of the
fellow and so was Mr. Hamilton. We talked
about the matter several times. We wished
there was some way we could get rid of
his account and do it in a nice way. As
things ran along. Smith was a good fellow.
He waa banqueting rred Davis and my
friend Coad and others, having them out
to the club, and Davis waa crazy for his
account. Finally one day Smith came to
tie and wanted to borrow some money. He
had a good balance, but he said he did not
want to check It down too close. I talked
it over with Mr. Hamilton, and we finally
decided to loan him 16.000 as the limit; and
when he came In we told him. He said
that would not do at all, that he would
have to make some arrangements with
some of the other banks. But we adhered
to our decision to loan him only 15.000,
which we did. .The way he came to get
Into us any more waa this: A short time
after a draft was presented at our bank
and he came In and aald that his sales
amounted to t3.iu a day, and he wanted us
to take up the dnft for three or four days
and then he wou.a settle it. He had a good
balance and we thought with sales of $3,000
a day we were not taking very many
chances on three or (our days, so we took
up the draft, and very soon afterward
found that Fmlth had departed for Canada.
My friend Coad liere and the Merchants
had loaned him quite a sum, as well as the
Hrit National I teamed of the departure
of Smith after the bank had closed on Sat
urday, and I communicated with Mr. Ham
ilton, and we decided to go to our attorney.
Judge Lake, and attach the stock of goods.

CO,
On my way to the bank I came by Judge
Lake's house. He was out on the porch.
He says, "Hello." and I says. "Hello."
"Well," he says, "what are you going ot do
about It?" I said, 'I am going to attach."
80 we went down to the office to prepare
the papers In attachment to attach the
stock. Our attachment was the first one.
A number of other creditors came piling
In, but some did not attach. Then the real
trouble began. The stock waa replcvined
and Anally sold In the United States court
for 178.000. We had to put up a bond, and
the joke of it was that after we put up
the bond and the sale was made and the
money paid the judge required the money
to be deposited with the court, so we had
to give a bond and the court had the money
and the bond and we did not appear to have
anything.
Coacdoa Gives Experience.
Mr. Congdon Let me tell you a little ex
perience of my own in connection with that.
Our Arm of Congdon, Clarkson Se Hunt
were attorneys (or the nonattaching cred
itors The weather waa a little chilly for
our fellows, as my (rlends Barlow and Coad
had attached and sold the property. We
heard that Loyal L. Smith waa In Mon
treal, so we sent Tenney down to Montreal
to tret acquainted with Mr. Smith. Tenney
was a Chicago lawyer that was helping us
at that end of the line. He went down
and saw Smith and arranged with him to
come to Chicago and testify in the case.
Smith told him that Loewy had only paid
him $5,000 for the stock and was to give
him the balance later. Smith came back to
Chicago and Tenney sued Smith for the
stock of goods, which were worth about
1200,000, and Smith confessed judgment for
the value of the stock and then Tenney
got out an execution and jumped onto
Loewy for the amount of the stock of
goods. Loewy bad his money in the safety 1
deposit vault In Chicago. About this time 1
Loewy had business over In Europe and
Tenney broke open his safety box In the
vault and took out all the stuff there was
In there and applied It on his judgment
against Smith. Loewy remained away un
til the things got cooled down and I was
told that It cost old Loewy about S30Q.0C0.
How much did you fellows get out of it,
Barlow?
Mr. Barlow We Anally got 6 cents. I
am not sure but we had to give back the
( cents. There was a very funny thing
about that. We Anally agreed with the
creditors that did not attach, that we would
give them 10 per cent of what we recov
ered, so they got all they got out of Loewy
and 6 cents out of us.
Resnlads Hlaa ef Good Starr.
Congdon That reminds me of story that
I heard once on a time. There was a
man a big, burly fellow, who was a warm
friend of a lawyer. He came Into the law
yer's office one day and aald: "Now, I
may need your services pretty soon." The
lawyer says: "What Is the matter?"
"Oh. well." he anys. "there la nothing In
It; the grand jury is In session, but there
is nothing in It. But I may want your
services." In the afternoon be came in
agarh and said: "Well, I may want your
services, but there is not a d d thing In
it." The lawyer says: "Well, what Is the
matter?" He says: "There is nothing in
it, but I heard the grand Jury had in
dicted ma and that a warrant was Issued
and In the hands of the sheriff, but there
la nothing in it." "But," says the law
yer, "I must know what Is the matter if
I am going to prepare a defense for you."
"Oh, hell," he says, "there Is nothing In
it but a dog." (The remaining part
of the story was not published). (Up
roarious laughter).
Mr. "Barlow Mr. Reporter, have you got

Interest to the audience. The speaker holds
the distinction of having met most of the
men of national repute In the United Statee
of the last Afty years, as well as many
crowned heads and other notables of the
old world, and his speech took on much
of the form of personal anecdotes of these
men. Character sketches of the most
prominent were also given. Interesting
talks on Abraham Lincoln and every presi
dent down to the present day, Stephen A.
Douglas, James O. Blaine. Horace Greeley
ana other famous men In every walk of
life occupied places In the course of the
lecture.
The occasion was one of the numbers

Omaha stands second among the large
cities of the country in point of Increase of
building operations for January over the
same month last year, according to statis
tics compiled by the Construction News,
the percentage being US. Cleveland with
per cent la the-only city that beats It.
Kansas City's gain Is only IT and Denver's
tL The Construction News says:
Building operations are upon a higher
level than ever before. The record month
by month last year was phenomenal, but it
wu nothing like we muat expect this year
If the figures for January are any indica
tion of what is to come. During the month
Junt closed permits were taken out In thirty-two
of the leading cities of the country
for the construction of 7.J3 buildings. In
volving a total coat of iS7,tm.06S, against
6. it nullum comma- F-S,774.biil for tre cor
responding month a year ago, an increase
of 2.127 buildings and S12,Sl.t97, or 61 per
cent.
Probably the most Influential factor In
this enormous increase waa the open win
ter, but upon the other hand there is not
eo much to do usually at this time of the
year. Owners and . builders in most cities
cesae operations duriPR the eatremely cold
months, say January and February, and as
a rule their minds cease to work upon plans
of this character.. 1st eorae cities owners
ana nuiiaers had plaaa prepared for build
ing and had laid them away expecting to
revive them with the Opening of spring, but
there having been no cold weather early in
January they got out the plans and began
to excavate.
The weather had something to do with
the increase, but there Is a far more potent
factor back of It, and It Is the urgent de
mand for buildings. This is true in regard
to almost every city In the countrv. Every
industry is teeming with life, the absorption
of raw materials was never upon such a
areat scale, while the demands upon mer
chants Is unprecedented. This accounts for
manufacturing and mercantile construction.
Labor has never before been so constantly
employed or so well paid and this has in
creased the demand for homes.

Relative to the Real Estate exchange's
action about the building construction story
in the New Tork Sun. which omitted
Omaha from the list of principal cities of
the country which 'made excellent showing
last year Building Inspector Wlthnell says:
"I do not see how any blame for the
omission can be attached to this office. My
chief clerk, Richard Grotte, and myself had
been particularly anxious to circulate the
eorrect Information concerning our good
building record whenever and wherever pos
sible. We even went so far at the close of
the year to have the statements printed
showing the construction in detail and the
remarkable gain over the preceding year.
We make It a point every month to send
local information to such publications as
care to use It"
MASS MEETING IS POSTPONED
Session Planned by Teachers te Pro

1 erred fer Ttane.
Teachers who still feel aggrieved on the
salary propoaltlon had planned a mass
meeting at the public library for this after
noon to express their feelings, but yester
day decided to postpone the meeting. The
teacher who is considered as the leader
of this faction last night said:
"Yes, we had planned such a meeting,
but decided after to postpone It. I think
something will be done yet. We feel dis
satisfied with the action of the board. Our
particular grievance is that the present
status involves a discrimination. That is.
time of sen-ice counts for nothing. The
teacher who haa taught fifteen years, under
the examination rule. Is placed on the
same footing as the one who has taught
but seven years. We think time ought
to count for something. If we have not
been good teachers we ought not to have
been retained."
"Do you think a l.v.'ee proportion of the
teachers think as you do?" waff asked.
"Tea. I do. I think the msjorlty do,"
was the reply.
One other teacher whose service In the
local schools dates back only about two or
three years expressed fullest sympathy
with this attitude.
"I bare nothing personal of which to
complain," she said, "but I think my asso
ciates who have taught longer have."

of $12 has installed a meter to measure the

Erroll Dunbar, In tho role made familiar
by Vtliliam OlUette, seems quite at home.
He m Rites us a &berlock Hoimea who very
nearly embodies the best conception of
the personality of the great detective as
outlined by Dr. Doyle. At times a bit ot
hesitancy mars the evenness of the per
formance, but this Is not in Iteslf suf
ficient to militate against the general ex
cellence ot tho whole. The fault Is more
apparent than real. Mr. Dunbar's manner
and bearing la that of the eagerly alert
man, woe has pitted his brain against the
brute strength of a band of desperate
criminals, headed by a leader scarcely less
brainy than himself, and only at a disad
vantage because he Is a criminal, and
therefote lacking in the moral courage to
do bis own work. The other aspect of
the play, the love side. Is developed with
much skill; only a quick movement of the

Iss Faulkner on part of the
great detective. This waa finely done by
Mr. Dunbar. His best scene is In the third
act between himself and Prof. Moriarty.
The "business" in this scene Is splendidly
worked up and as carefully executed, Mr.
Edmonds sharing with Mr. Dunbar in the
result.
In point of faot, Mr. Edmonds' charac
terisation of the emperor of crime is quite
as deserving of praise as is Mr. Dunbar's
presentation of the premier of detectives.
It Is a finely conceived and carefully ex-
ecuted study. Miss Bpellman is a charm
ln and effective Alice Faulkner, and Miss
i Wefflng la excellent In the role of Madge
Larrabee. Miss Bothner Is good in the
small part of Theresa. In a general way,
the entire compeny deserves a word of
praise, for the performance Is unusually
, well given, the strength of the company
being very evenly caiancea.
The Gillette production is used, with lis
chanrfog lighting effects, and Is handled
with perfection of detail. The last scene,
! In which Holmes and Miss Kaulkner are
I Wt together, and their races dissolve into
darkness, is especially well done. A largo
audience witnessed the opening perform
ance lart night, and while the gallery gods
found that the Doyle detective Is not of
the "Old Sleuth" breed, the piece was
greatly enjoyed. ,The company will re
main until after Saturday night, playing
each evening, with a matinee on Saturday.
