A generation of vagrants was arraigned Dundee resident disclaim the truth of the statement that a boom 1 on In their little town, but they readily admit, and are boasting of the fact that the village la enjoying a healthy, substantial growth this season. There Is all the difference In the world between a boom, and what Is called "legitimate" growth. Burely the Omaha suburban village can rightly lay claim to the latter. AU over the town new cottages are being erected, some of them very handsome structures, and the town Is fairly dotted with the' smaller ones. The activity In building la more notlceuble than It has been for years. One feature of the growth of the town, noted by a man who lias realty holdings there. Is the increasing number of Omaha business men who are making their homes there, and the number of man la business In the city, who have Hired la Dundee for years and are now building larger residences. Among thus who have finished fins new residences In Dundee this spring are: Robert B. Haaker, the shoe man, Frank Carmlohael. K. C Bennett and Ten Eyck Fonda. Bert H. Whitney la building a fine home In the north border of the town, William A. Bell has a residence half flnlwhed, and Henry O. Harte has started one. Three neat residences are being built near the end of the car line on ground sold by Oeorgs dt company. . Tha real estate firm of Oeorge it com pany Is putting to grade the tier of blocks west of fifty-first street and reaohlng from Dodge street north to the limits of the town. This property will be put into the beat of shape and placed on the market, though Oeorge At company have not an nounced Just when. A large amount of money la being ex pended In grading. Forty-eighth street, which Is On the Una between Dundee and tha city of Omaha, Is being graded for several blocks by the co-operation of the city and tha village making a wonderful Improvement In the eastern portion. The county Is grading Fifty-first street, or rather Nevada avenue, from Dodge north to about Burt street, with the Idea of .making that street a thoroughfare in the direction of the Country club. Now the property holders along the street have tha notion In their heads of paving, and It la said a petition will soon be circulated to pave the street from Dodge clear to Burt. Cement walks are being laid in all parts of the town. It la regarded as only a matter of time when tha Country club will be at the very door of Dundee. The residences are crowding farther north, and It Fiftieth street Is paved, people will be more ready than ever to build to the north. An effort Is being made by the real estate men to sell the land along the road between Dundee and the olub to men who will build nouses there and live there.

J- I t i NEW REBIDENCB OF OOTTXXEB BTORZ AT TK1RTT-BEVENTH AND thedral and the commencement exercises of Drownell hall, la a man who has seen Omaha rise from the face of tha prairie to the city it Is today. He has a farm of 161 acres on the Bellevue road, near Bouth Omaha, which he values at 1500 an acre. In I860 he bought that land, along with considerable more, at $4 an acre. Mr. Bangs has held to It and watched it grow In value to $10, 1 30, $60, $100 an acre, and finally sold a part of it for railroad purposes at $-0 an acre. The wonderful development of Omaha and the consequent rise in real estate was something that Mr. Bangs did not anticipate fifty years ago, at least, he did not realise It was to go to such a degree. He thought then that Bellevue was to be the big city. Mr. Bangs was once offered the two lots at Sixteenth and Douglas streets for $700. "Things have been rather quiet for a week or two In the way of sales to be re ported," said N. P. Dodge, ., "but the Inquiries for property are not decreasing at all. The dealers are selling property every day, but It causes no sensation, be cause the sales are small. The small things are the things that count, though, If there are enough of them. "The present demand for property shows much confidence In the healthy strength of vaues. I know some people say there Is a boom on West Farnam street, and they are shaking their heads now because the property bought there at good figures has not been turned over within six months. Those who are Interested there did not ex pect to turn their holdings over right away, but they do expect to be able to dispose of them within a year or two at a hand some profit. West Farnam Is steadily growing, and every building placed along the street and many have been built there lately adds dollars to each foot of front- age." "why some men Insist there has been no advance in the value of residence prop- $500 and better." Since the establishment of the canning factory at Florence the residents of that beautiful village have been bestirring themselves In efforts .to Induce other con cerns to follow suit. Since the new service of the street railway company has been inaugurated the demand for choice resl- riunrs lnt has been Increasing and a bulld- Ing boom is looked for. Florence ls - as near in point of time to the center of the .,, BB -nv of the other suburbs, and lots way still be had at a reasonable figure. No prettier spot can oe iouna aruuuu ma city for the building of a home than on the hillside near Florence. These lots are but a block from the street car, and with the 6-cent fare to the oenter of the olty the wonder is that they have not been all taken up before. Trackage is still in demand In thla city. although considerable property has been I made available by the placing of tracks In the lower end of town by the Union Pacific The Belt line still offers good chances for manufacturing concerns and a demand for this property nas peen nouce- able of late. A rumor was current last week that the Mercer pond was te be used by the Sunderland Bros. Co. as a storage yard. Another rumor had the Hoagland Lumber company placing a yard on the Belt line this side of Dundee. This was denied. The Updike Lumber company Is to build a lumber yard on the Belt line north of Dodge street. Considerable trackage Is available all around the city for any kind of concerns which may wish to use It. Shinier & Chass have bought a part of the old exposition grounds ana will pui It on the market at once. The property ilea on both sides of Seventeenth street. htn Laird and Sprague streets, and Is a section of Boulevard Park addition. recently laid out by Henry F. Wyman I and Charles Brown. The deal was closed Saturday, and the same day excavation was begun for the first bouse. The lots are eighteen Inches to two feet above the street, are well drained and have the con veniences of sewer, water and gas. Shlmer Chase expect to have the street macadamised. They will build neat sub stantial oottsges, which they will sell at moderate prlcea on easy payments and will endeavor to make It an attractive residence section. Ourdon W.

Mr. Bemls says he would not be surprised I If the prices would continue to advance so as to reach figures asked for correspond ing property In cities of equal else within the near future. Making a comparison with other cities of equal stse, Omsha prlcea are still entirely too low. Net re I turns are much better than In most cities and the Judicious Investor, as well as parties who buy for the reason that they I know that real estate la selling cheap and bound to advance, are reaping harvests. Turns are being made at an advanos of ! per cent, 16 per cent and some as high kS 25 per cent.

Dodge St Co. covering the Tlbke block at Twenty-seventh and Cuming streets to Mr. Horton. Dr. Rosewater has purchased the southeast corner of Thirty, fifth and Farnam streets, through the Bemls agency, from the National Bank of Commerce, paying therefor $7,500. This Is one of the choicest corners on Farnam street and was purchased for Improvement. Mr. Bemls also reports the sale of four lots In Bower's addition to W. H.

WOODMEN OF W0RLD CARNIVAL Seasoa of Kna Opens Monday Evening ad Continues Tbrough the Week. At 7 o'clock Monday evening opens the Woodmen of the World carnival at Eighteenth and Eouglas streets, the en closure covering practically the same ground as used by ths Ak-Sar-Ben carnival each year. The fencing has been com pleted, the grounds wired for brilliant Illu mination at night and the grand arch at the entrance is an emblem of Woodcraft. Today the Patterson-Bralnard Carnival company arrives from Nebraska City, after a very successful week at that city. Everything has been done by the local committee that will tend to make this a week of pleasure and merry-making. The Woodmen have attempted features of this kind before and enjoy a reputation for suc cessfully carrying on a carnival of this character. The Patterson-Bralnard company is not a strange one In. this community, having been engaged by the Elks In Council Bluffs at one of their recent carnivals, at which time 87,000 people passed through the turn stiles. This year they carry a larger ag gregation of shows and free acts than ever before, and the entire company will be here during the Omaha engagement. Mr. Patterson, the general manager of this company, In speaking of the coming Omaha engagement, said: "We will spare no pains nor expense to make our stay In Omaha one to be remembered, both by the public and ourselves. Our shows are ' all of a good, moral character, and I will per mit at no time of anything that would cause women and children to stay away. Another thing most exhibitions of similar character possess little real merit. I pride myself on the quality of our performances. Each show is the best of its kind and will repay all who visit them." The midway has been termed "The Hike," and will be a live one. A number of special days appear on the program, and are as follows: Monday, Royal Achates and Fraternal Union day Tuesday, Knights of the Maccabees and Bouth Omaha day; Wednesday, Elks, Ak-Sar-Ben and Eagles day; Thursday, Mod ern Woodmen of America, Royal Neigh bors and Council Bluffs day; Friday, Royal Arcanum and Ancient Order of United Workmen day; Saturday, All Omaha and Traveling Man's day. Saturday afternoon has been set aside for the children, and all children attending will be admitted for half price. HORSE KNOWS HE NEEDS SHOES animal Breaks His Halter Rope, Goes to the Shop aad Gets hod. An unusual case of equine Intelligence came to the notice of the police Friday afternoon, when W. Keellne of the Omaha Tent and Awning company reported the loss of a horse and buggy. Mr. Keellne tied his horse to the walk at the office of the awning company. The animal broke loose and went to the Wat son horseshoeing shop, a few blocks west, entered the shop and was shod on two feet, the proprietor of the shop thinking Mr. Keellne had brought the rig in unob served, Mr. Keellne being a patron of the place. When the hours passed and Mr. Keellne could not be located someone called up ' the police station to Inquire whether a rig had been reported lost. Then It was that owner and rig were brought together.

They have previously put up with more or less pain in a dental chair and naturally expect a like amount In mine. They are agreeably disappointed. I can't say too much about my palnlesa method of filling teeth without being sus pected of exaggeration, but I believe It marka as great an advance in dentistry as chloroform did in surgery.

TROUBLES OF A MONUMENT Vicissitudes of the Ante Memorial on tha Crest of Bhersnaa Hill, Wyoming. A writer in the June number of the Four- Track News reoounts the melancholy story of the famous Ames, now sidetracked on the Sherman Hill in Wyoming. Although but an Infant In years and site when com pared with Its Egyptian prototypes, he says, the life of the Ames monument of Wyoming haa been troublous and filled with vicissitudes sharp In contrast with the almighty calm which for centuries has enshroued the great pyramids. The Ames monument was built but a quarter of a century ago, and cost about 1100,000. It waa erected to commemorate Oakea Ames and Oliver Ames, the pioneer builders of the Union Pacifle railway. It Is sixty feet square at the base, sixty-five feet high and la built of red granite, the (mmenas blodka which were quarried from the Rocky mountain peaka sur rounding It There are two medallions, each ten feet square, of Oakes and Oliver Ames, respectively, placed on the east and west faces of the monument near Its apex. It la located at Sherman station, the high est point on the line of the road, nearly 9,000 feet above the level ot the sea. Scarcely waa the monument completed when Its troubles began. First It was stolen. It happened this way: Old Man Hennesey of Laramie, thirty miles west of Sherman, wanted to take up a homestead. He wasn't particu lar where, and sought advice from the then village Justice of the peaoe, Edgar William Nye. later known as "Bill" Nye. Nye advised the old man that the best way to select a homestead waa to locate It on the map and then look It uo. He told Old Hennesey, too, that a homestead near a town would be the best kind of a one to secure. Hennesey took Nye's ad vice, and on the next pay day went to Cheyenne and paid a visit to the United States land office, where he looked over the maps of Uncle Sam's domain. He found that Sherman was the only town which had any unappropriated publics lands close at hand; and he, without any fur ther delay, filed on 160 acres adjacent to Sherman. Then he got a surveyor to lo cate the land from the land office descrip tions. When the lines were run, much to the surprise of Hennesey and more so to the officials of the railway, It was found that his homestead contained the Ames monument. Then there waa consternation In the general offices of the company at Omaha. Through the carelessness of some one, $100,000 had been apent In building the memorial pile without first determining upon whose land thla expensive "Improve ment" was being placed. It waa a grievous mistake, and the claim agent of the com pany was Immediately ordered to Laramie to use his persuasive Influence with Old Man Hennesey In an effort to obtain from him a relinquishment of his claim. "Get the land, even If you have to pay him $10,000, and we will make It up among us," were the Instructions given him. The claim agent went out on the first train, and, when he reached Laramie, lost no tlrne In making Old Man Henneaey's acquaint ance. His eloquent prophecy of the future greatness of the city of Laramie served to put Old Hennesey Into such a frame of mind that the wily agent had but little difficulty, when he got down to a business proposition. In getting the old man to sign a relinquishment of his Sherman claim I In exchange for a deed for three town lota 1 In whst Bill Nye was wont to call "The 1 Gem City of the Plains." The monument was erected as a testi monial to the Ames brothers, but that fart was soon lost sight of. It was built at Sherman, ' which, by the way, con sisted of but a section house and depot made of a dewheeled box car. The monu ment was built on a high peak projecting from the Irregular plateau 400 or 600 yards from the depot far enough away so that the Inscription explaining Its erection could not be read from the trains. Bo, Instead of being known as the Ames monu ment. It soon was called the Sherman monument. Thousands of trsvelers over the road received and retained the Im pression that the monster pyramid wss memorial to that grim old fighter. Gen eral William Teeumseh Sherman. But the troubles of the monument did not end with the misapplication of the purpose for which It was built. It wss found, when traffic on the road Increased to modern proportions, that the line had not been built across the Rocky mountain summits by the best route. Surveys were made which took out curves, reduced grades and shortened distances; and when the new line was built It left Sherman station fully five miles from the rails,' and the monument Is now a lonely pyre mid, crowning a still lonelier mountain peak. It Is rarely beheld by mortal eye. A coyote may occasionally howl a dirge about It or a mountain wolf prowl around Its base. Now that. In the Interest of a lighter grade, the line of railway has veered away and left the monument solitary and Iso lated on the bleak, wind-swept plateau ol -yd THIRTT-fllXTH AND HARNET. the mountain's summit, the question pus ales the directorate: Whether It shall be left there In peace, a protesting memorial to the exacting march of progress, or taken down and rebuilt on the new line of the road, where the tourists crossing ths Rockies can again see It and wonder what it la and what It Is for. ALUMNAE OF MOUNT S.T. MARY'S Aanaal Gathering; at the Seminary aa Occasion Made Joyoas la Hssy Ways. Thursday afternoon. June 7. witnessed a pretty festive gathering at Mount St Mary's seminary. Fifteenth and Caatellar streets, when the alumnae of the convent held Its annual exercises, comprising the baccalaureate sermon and bendlctlon In the chapel, a business meeting In the eon vent parlors and, finally, a delectable ban quet In the refectory. Father Stritch of Crelghton university delivered the sermon, admonishing his hearers not to hide their light under a bushel, but to go forth Into the world, radiating the sunlight of mental and moral education, ever assimilating more knowl edge themselves, thus gradually attaining the high standard set before their early youth by tha sisters. Father Stritch clearly defined the difference between Ideas and Ideals, outlining carefully what the latter should be. After benediction the members proceeded to their business meeting, electing as offi cers for the coming year Miss Rush as president, to succeed Mrs. F. J. Moriartyi Miss Mary McShane aa vice president, to succeed Miss McShane; Misses Madeline O'Connor and May Whalen as secretary and treasurer, to succeed Misses Shane and Hast The banquet, prepared by Mrs. Marie Mc Cune, teacher of domestic economy at the convent, was served In the refectory, whicl ' had been artistically decorated by the sis ters themselves. Mrs. F. J. Mortarty pre sided. The members of the alumnae were welcomed to the festivities by Miss Calla han of the olass of '08. The following toasts were responded to during and In tervening the courses: "Our Alumnae," Miss Hast; "The Clergy," Miss Shanahan; "Our Bishop," Miss Breslaure; "School Days," Miss Frlck; "Class of '0," Miss Taylor; "Our Absent Ones," Miss Rush. Father O'Connor. In a short talk, dis cussed the high position held by the Sisters of Mercy as educators and alluded also to the charitable work they accomplish so quietly. He exhorted the members of the alumnae to be loyal to their Instructors and Instructions, and thus demonstrate that their education has been of the high set standard. Father McCarthy's reminiscences of Omaha were Instructive as well as nmuslng. rather McCarthy's retentive memory as the toastmlstresa put It haa become a byword. Misses Mary McShane and Gertrude O'Connell delighted the banqueters with two songs, "Hedge Roses" and "April Laughter." Rev. E. M. Oleason sang "Rockln' In de Win'," which occasioned an enthuslastio encore, to which he re sponded with "Addio a Napoll." Miss Phllomena Gentleman's "Higher Educa tion" was a delicious bit of raillery aimed at the modern college curriculum. Bishop Scanned closed the program with a few remarks on the benefits that are sure to accrue from such auspicious reunions of this splendid organization. Seventy-thrne members attended the exercises, and ra diant faces bespoke eloquently that their enjoyment was genuine.
