On the receipt of the history of the Issue
,' of sewer bonds, which waa forwarded last
week, flayaa A Bona -sent back a very
large list of Inquiries, covering every de
tail of the history. The Intent of these
Inquiries -was to he positive that there was
no legal discrepancy. Numerous questions
were ssked relating to the . special elee
tlon at which the bonds were voted. In
quiry jwas nlso nind to determine whether
the city had exceeded Its statutory limita
tions In the Isaue .of bonds. It was found
that the law provided for the leaue of
the 'entire , I2WX0O0. A statement of the
standing of the city In the financial world
waa sent, and Included a list of all the
bonds Issued by South Omaha. With
these were sent the Information desired by
the letters of Inquiry. Yesterday the clerk
received - a letter asking for the attested
signature of himself and the mayor, that
they may, be lithographed on the attached
coupons of the bond Issue. This Is taken
to mean that there will be no longer any
delay nor hitch In the ' laaue.
Place Warn tea to Damp Earth.
During the past week T. J. O'Neill has
ought to secure a convenient place . to
dump the earth which will have to be re
moved from the city hall aire. He has
made Inquiry to sea If it might not be
dumped on East O street. There has
been ho provision for. the grading of this
street and the mayor vetoed, the ordinance
which provided for the grading of that
atreet through the big fill. He therefore
told Mr. O'Neill he could not legally re
ceive the dirt there nor allow him any
pay for ,t; .If., however, Mr. O'Neill could
ot the property' owhera In that hollOw'UJ
l It enough money to pay for the grad
1 the .street, so an ordinance might be
.ort for the grading without an expense
j tho city at large, he might talk of per
mitting the earth from Twenty-fourth and
O Streets to be dumped there, and could
allow him. the customary price paid for
good earth.

but before the last order was tied
up he would step out, saying he would
return in a few minutes. He never re
turned, but proceeded to the next store

ELKS PLAN FOR A BIG CROWD
All Ready to Co to the. Ball Game on
Tharsitay Afteraooa at -Vlatoa
Park.
Every Elk In Omaha who can get away
from his business will be present at the
Omaha-Lincoln bass ball game at the
Vinton street park on Thuraday afternoon
next and Urge delegatlona of Elks will
also attend from the , various Elk lodges
in Nebraska, also from, Council Bluffs and
Atlantic, la., lodgea, all of whom have
been officially Invited to be preaent by
the Elks' building fund benefit committee
having the game in charge. The entire
gate receipts of the game have been do
nated by W. A. Rourke to start the build
ing fund of Omaha lodge of Elks. In the
sale of the tickets the Elks are asking
nothing whatever in the way of a dona
tion from anyone, well ' knowing that
every ticket holder will get .fully BO cents
worth of championship bsse ball on that
occasion. Inssmuch ss a. similar benefit
is to be given at Lincoln later "In the ses
son, there Is special strife between Presi
dent Rourke of the Omaha club and Presi
dent Holmes of this ' Lincoln . club as to
which club will win this coming game.
Bo deeply are the local magnatea Inter
ested In the reault outside of the' pennant
issue that a valuable jeweled Elk badge
Is at stske on the outcome and will be
worn with great pride by the winner.
The Thirtieth U. 8. Infantry band from
Fort Crook has been engaged for the en
tire day and will arrive at the Elk club
rooms at 10 SO o'clock In the forenoon
They will make' a street car tour of the
city, announcing the game, and after be
Ing served with dinner at the Merchsnts
hotel they will give a concert in the Elks'
parlors. Bandmaster August ' Haase haa
arranged a very attractive musical pro
gram to be played at the ball park. The
committee will' provide other special fea
tures of lively interest, and,, altogether,
It wilt be an Elk day and a baae ball con
test long to be remembered by the thou
sands of people who will attend.
There is already great strife among the
Elks as to who will sell the most tickets.
and several suppers will be partaken of
at somebody's expense ss the final result
of this ticket selling contest. The Omaha'
Elk are wearing the ' admission" tickets In
the shape of metal-rimmed and numbered
badges attached by a purple ribbon to the
coat lapel buttonhole. Each of these
tickets Is good, for an admission to the
grand stand and Is 'sold at the regular
baae ball price, namely, BO cents. It la
probable that the grand, stand win. be en
tirely filled with the ladles and that the
great body of Elks will have to take to
the. bleachers and to grass seats on the
lot. The boxes, thirty-two In number, wlli
be sold by auction fifteen minutes prevl
on a to the opening of the game. It la
possible that Dave O'Brien will be the
auctioneer. He Is compelled to go out of
town, and If hs can get back in time he
will officiate In that capacity.

The Difference Between Today
and the Times of Webster
Is shown nowhere more strikingly
How would you look in An old-fashioned "dicky" and choker how would you like to tide
in an old-fashioned etage coach t '
The very thought makes you smile, and yet, perhaps, you have in your home an encyclo
paedia describing those very times telling of sciences and processes of manufacture and th
divisions of countries just as they were forty years or more ago. (Examine the first volume of
your encyclopaedia.) , '
a-
There are such works on the market offered aa "revised, and brought down to date,! which
are revised and corrected only as regards census and dates the same old descriptions are there
originally made for the times of your fathers and grandfathers. The same old virtues are there,
too, virtues that have become household proverbs but virtues that are now antiquated because
of the changes of modern civilization. , , , ;
The Day of the Signed Article Went Out With the Starfe Coach
The old days were "one-man" days the days of . Horace Greeley "and William..?LIoyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips, when parties and even nations pinned their faith on the opinion
of one man. Bat those days went oat with the passing of the stage coach and the old-fashioned v
Lyceum. ...
There are now in the great newspapers no signed editorials, thundering dictates to. an hum
ble, subservient clientele of readers. Nowadays the people themselves make thought.
; It is fact, not biased opinion, the American public demands. This truth the publishers of the '
New International long ago realized; and it was strange that there was no encyclopaedia planned
to meet this modern demand. The - .
NEW INTERNATIONAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA
meets it for the first time. The new International is not a one-man work of "signed articles," be
cause the signed article written by one man however great must be more or less marred by
prejudice and biased opinion. Such articles have their place in separate books in the Sunday
paper or magazine, but not in Encyclopaedias. . -
ENCYCLOPAEDIAS SHOULD GIVE FACTS NOT OPINIONS
All of the New International's articles were obtained from authorities, but each article was
submitted in turn to otherauthorities in the same field and then carefully edited and given the pro
portion of lengtl to which its importance entitled it, so that every article present fact, not biased
opinion.
Hundreds of authorities in every field of knowledge contributed material to the New Inter
national out of their own skilled minds and from years of patient investigation: The result it
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
"NEW" AND "INTERNATIONAL" '
The New International is the most recent reference work in existence. . It incorporates
knowledge of all the late developments of Science, Art, History, Biography, Law, Medicine,
Music, Drama, Literature and Business, from 4000 B. C. down to the present day.
It reflects a knowledge of all the world that is worth knowing of every age; and nation.
All of the nations of the world are described, their states, leading cities, famous men, battles,
ports, harbors, climates, resources, art, commerce and in short all you will want to know
about them. ' . -
More Articles, More Illustrations, More Information Than Any Others
The New International'. 67,007 articles, embracing 100,000 related subjects in 100 differ
ent departments of knowledge, positively cover more information than is found in any "other
encyclopaedia.
Every subject has its own name as a heading, is arranged alphabetically like a City Direc
tory and there are no indexes lo confuse and hinder reference. You find what you want by simply
turning to it. It is always there under its own name.
Its photogravures of famous persons, landscapes, paintings and statues, its duotints, maps,
charts, cuts and diagrams are o profuse that, bound separately,, they would require a volume
larger than Webster s I nabridged. And every illustration illustrates, iUuminating and explain- '
ing the text on a scale never before attempted.
No "Dry-as-an-Encyclopaedia" Article in The New International
The old encyclopaedias, great as some of them were, have rightly won for themselves the.
title of "dry," their language is so ponderous and heavy. .
' The New International's language is terse, graphic and powerful, literature in itself that
may be read for the pure pleasure of reading as well as studied for profit. Its' technical and
scientific descriptions are so simple in language that a child can understand them.

ftwltserland la the home of mountain
railways. With an area not larger than
one-third of the state of New Tork there
may be counted about 100 railways for
the sols purpose of carrying psssengers to
mountain tops varying In height from a
few thousand to 4.000 or l.ono feet. The
month of August, im, witnessed the open
ing of a way carrying tourists even far
above these altitudes, beyond ths clouds,
to 10,400 feet; and, when completed. Its
highest point will reach nearly 14.00ft feet
above the sea at the top of ths fsmous
Jungfrau, ths queen of the Berner Ober
land. There are other mountain railways on
the globe sttalntng much higher altitudes
than even this, and on ths Ovoya railway
of Peru I myself traveled a considerable
distance above 14,000 feet; but most of these
roads were built far the development of
commerce and mining Industries. Ths
Swiss mountsln railways, however, are al
most exclusively In the service of tourists
only, numbering In Swttterlsnd alone not
far from l.Ono.Ono every year. They come
to admire the scenic wonders of ths little
country on ths roof of Europe, or, to seek
shelter against summer hest nt ths many
mountain resorts.
Ths majority of thsea mountain railways
