One of the handsome new homo that haa
been erected In the Wen Farnam dlstrl-t
thle summer la that of Mr. Charles Hard
in at ffitj South Thirty-eighth avenue.
Standing on a terrace and fuclng east the
'house la one of the most conspicuous of the
many new rr sldences that are rapidly mak
ing that district one of Omaha's most at
tractive sections. The house is frame and
will cost about HB.ijnO. It Is of modlned
colonial style and Includes a number of
architectural features as unusual as they
are attractive. Frederick W. Clarke la the
architect.
From the commodious concrete veranda
the main entrance opens Into a smalt recep
tion hall at the north side of the house,
from which a rather modest Inclosed stair
Way rises, the landing, a few steps above
the floor level. Including a window seat and
triple leaded windows.
The large Urlng room and mualo room
extend across the remaining front portion
of the house, all being connected with wide
column openings that moke It possible to
practically throw together all the living
rooms of the ground floor. In point of ar
chitecture, proportion and decoration the
effect is peculiarly harmonious and sug
gestive of substantial elegance. The wood
work throughout, excepting In the dining
room, Is of polished dark antique oak and
the walls of the front tier of rooms are of
Pompellan red glase. A four-foot paneled
wainscot extends around the living room
and the exposed beams above are In pat
tern design, the ceiling being finished In
natural bronze gold effect. A slx-wlndow
bay, in groups of two, gives the swell ef
fect at the east side of the room, this being
balanced by a wide Ingle nook on the oppo
site aide. The fireplace Is finished In gruebe
tile In large site and the chimney breast is
mounted with an oil painting, a woodland
study. On either side of the fireplace are
bookcases, magaxlne drawers and a spat,
the nook being lighted by sidelights.
The severity of the room Is preserved In
the light fixtures, which are of old English
pattern and burnished antique brass finish,
combining gas and electricity, the balls for
tho electric lights being of cut glass. The
room la equipped with an arm chandelier,
four celling lights and four slnglr-llght
side brackets.
The music room might be counted an ex
tension of the living room, its finishing and
decoration being the same. If the floor level
were not somewhat higher. This room Is
lighted by a three-window bay at the routh
and three high windows at the east, the
glass being In leaded design.
A rather massive ten-panel sliding door
connects the south end of the living room
with the dining room. Here the woodwork
Is of Flemish oak, the fixtures of bur
Dished antique brass and the wall In
gobelin blue glase. A three and one-half
foot wainscoting Is broken by the buffet

and store room occupy the remainder of
the basement. The house will be heated
with hot water and will be ready for occu

WAIT 'TILL THE CAR STOPS
That Familiar Call I nheeded la What
Makes Postmaster Palmer
Limp Just Now.
Asked as to the cause of his limping
Postmaster H. E. Palmer said:
"I did not know until recently the
causo of my trouble, but now I have dis
covered that It Is occasioned by Jumping
off street cars before they have fully
stopped. in alighting from the street
cars the tendency Is to alight Arst on the
heel, and, added to the fact that I have
a wound In the heel, an Inheritance of the
war, I And that I am crippling myself by
this procesB of coming down on my heels
too hard In getting off the cars."
Captain Palmer Is not alone In respect
to this growing complaint of heel Injury
from Jumping off the cars. Many middle
aged men complain of the same ailment,
which Is attributed by physicians to the
same cause.

SAN FRANCISCO IN A PICKLE
Congestion of Freight Fati City in a Bad
Way Temporarily.
SEVEN THOUSAND CARS ON SIIETRACKS
Krntsehnltt of Southern Fwlte Say
Ko More Frelaht Will Be Taken
Till Some Tars Are
Unloaded.
A situation of the gravest peril confronts
Ban Francisco In the tie-up of the freight.
At the present time there are oyer 7.000
cars standing Idle on the tracks waiting
to get into the city. Orders have been
Issued to the agents of the Southern Pa
cific to accept no more lumber shipments
for Ban Francisco In order to avoid add
ing any more cars to the tie-up. The
cause of the congestion of freight cars is
the refusal of the consignees to unload
their freight. Every car that comes to
the city adds to the congestion and un
less there Is a speedy unloading all freight
traffic to the city will be stopped. The
situation Is In such a plight that Julius
Kruttschnltt. fourth vice prealdent of the
Southern Pacitlc arid director of operation
and maintenance of way of the llarriman
lines, has come to this city from the east
to give his entire attention to unraveling
the tangle. It has been decided by the
freight traffic managers of the different
lines running Into this city to call a meet
ing In a few days and charge from 17
to $10 a car storage for each day the
cars remain idle on the tracks. If the
consignees still refuse to unload their
freight the price of storage will be raised
still more. From the other end of the
lino there have been issued orders that no
more lumber is to be shipped Into this
city until some of the cars now out of
commission have been unloaded.
The situation has been becoming ag
gravated ever since the Are. Immediately
after the fire there was a Jam of freight
in the yards and the officials of the roads
thought that In a few weeks the con
signees of the freight would be ready to
take It, and charged no demurrage. In
stead of unloading the cars waiting full
of freight, the merchants of the city or
dered more carloads of freight from the
east, and this In turn arrived to add to
the confusion. The congestion grew so
great that It was decided a few weeks
ago to charge a demurrage of $1 a day
on ench car that came into the city prior
to June IB. This had no effect and tho
Jam only Increased as the weeks went by
until now there Is the situation of the
gravest peril, which threatens to result In
the Isolation of San Francisco commerci
ally from the rest of the country.
Drastic Measures . Needed.
Julius Kruttschnltt is appalled at
the
i situation and says that drastic measures
will have to be taken to get the cars un
loaded and ready for use. In speaking of
the matter, he said:
"This tie-up of the freight car around
the city Is a much graver question for the
people of San Francisco than the rebuilding
of the city Just at present. There are about
6,000 cars of the Southern Pacific alone
waiting on the tracks to be unloaded. More
are on the way here, and all the sidings
In the neighborhood of the city are full of
idle cars. Way out on the Arisona desert
there are long lines of cars laden with
freight, waiting to get Into the city and be
unloaded. The merchants of this city will
not take the goods from the cars, and every
car that comes In adds to the jam. The
Southern Pacific Is not In league with the
Lumber trust, and Is not seeking to raise
the price on lumber. We have ordered the
shipments of lumber to this city to be
stopped because we had to. If this matter
goe on there will not be an empty car
available on the coast. The company has
48.CO0 freight carr, and all of them are In
constant use. Almost 0 per cent of them
are useless. Every one we send here Joins
the Jam. We are going to send as few as
we can. It Is like pouring water Into a
barrel with a small outlet. If the stream
'entering la larger than the escape there
will be an overflow. There are two ways
to stop It either make the outlet larger or
stop the stream coming In. We have tried
to make the outlet larger, but the con
signees of the freight will not take their
goods out of the cars. Now we are going
to make the stream coming In smaller.
This congestion must come to an end. The
interests of the city demand It, and the
consignees will be forced to take their
freight If there Is any way to do It."
Who Got the Whisky f
Dr. J. Wilson Shiels, supervisor of hos
pitals for the relief commission. Is wonder
ing what the Board of Health has done
with nine drayloads of assorted liquors
which were sent to the medical store at
Jefferson park the latter part of June from
tho Presidio. General Oreely remembers
sending out the liquor. Captain Kllian of
the Moulder School warehouse Is acquainted
with the fact that the liquor waa trans
ported, aa he refused admission of the
same to his storerooms, and Dr. J. V.
Hughes, the superintendent of the com
missary department station at Jefferson
square, to which the goods were sent aXtvr
being refused at the warehouse, has sent
a list of a large quantity of liquors received,
which be has resent to Dr. Bhlels. Upon In
vestigation it was discovered that the
amount of whisky and wine on hand at
at the Oeneral Emergency hospital and
commissary department would not con
stitute more than half a wagonload. Nona
has been sent away.
According to the books, the Board of
Health declares, only about 250 gallons of
liquor have ever been received from the
government supplies at tho Presidio. They
recall the shipment and say they ouly re-
celved one barrel of whisky, two full cases
and Ave broken cases. They do, however,
admit that two drayloads were lost. This
shortage resulted en route from the gov
ernment reservation, according to their
statement.
General Greely'a Statement.
General Oreely, when Interviewed, said:
"There was a large quantity of medleul
stores here at the Presidio, and I remem
ber of sending nine drayloads of them to
the Moulder warehouse with the under
standing that they would be cared for
there. I am sure of this because Captain
Kllian, through some misunderstanding, re
fused to allow the teamsters to leave the
goods In his care. I sent a sharp telegram
to him at the time. I cannot say definitely
where the goods were sent after being re
fused, as they were returned here and then
started again. I say I cannot state defi
nitely. I have, a remembrance of the des
tination, but would not be quoted on the
subject. Colonel Breihemln had charge of
the transaction, but has since left for
Washington and took all receipts with
him."
Oeneral Qreely wns not positive that all
of the goods sent were liquors, but says the
stores were mostly spirits at any rate.
Dr. Millar of the Central Emergency hos
pital said: "The only liquor we received
was a small consignment from the Moulder
warehouse several days ago." This shows
that tho goods were not accounted for at
his station. At the commissary at Jeffer
son Square park, L. F. Munroe, who acts
as dispensary clerk, showed all of the stock
of liquor on hand. There were Just a few
half empty barrels and several broken
cases. The accounts of his station are In
bad shape. Munroe did not know how the
entries In the book had been made. In
fact, he disclaimed any knowledge of the
affairs of the station before July 2.
It was suggested to General Greely that
perhaps the teamsters had taken part of
the liquor, as was claimed by the Doard of
Health. "This would have been Impos
sible," he said, "as the men would have
been punished had there been a discrepancy
on the shipping receipts."
The matter is .being investigated by a
grand Jury.
What to Do with Squatters.
Where to locate the people who are still
living in tents Is one of the great problems
of relief work. The efforts to dlfposo of
them satisfactorily ' to all have resulted
In some mirth provoking situations. Under
the heading "Why the Town Laughs," the
Call thus dlscusfces the situation:
This town scarcely realizes how closely
It has got back to first principles where all
things are held in common except where
thev are held by the strong hand. An army
of tent dwellers invades private property
and squats. The owner comes along and
wants his land. The squatter will not
budge, and, unconscloUHly Imitating a great
monarch, unnounees, "Here 1 am; here I
stuy."
The town laughs. At another time there
would be a flood of angry protest appeal
ing to the sacred rights of property, but
now there is a bond of common disaster
that has taupht us all, the strong and the
weak, the rich and poor, that there Is

something of hlaher value than property,
and that is human sympathy with suffering.
I he relief commissioners siougn on ine
responsibility. Theirs Is a loose and strag
gling command; their kingdom lacks defini
tion; their functions are obscure to none
more than to themselves. They have de
cided, for Instance, by a count of noses,
two to one, that a scavenger Is a hybrid
whose duties are partly scientific anu
partly political, but this question of the
camp folk In occupation of the wante places
cannot be settled by any arithmetical pro
cess for arriving at truth. It la a matter
in wnicn commimsoners noses aon t count.
Therefore the oommlslsonors declare.
"Not we are the trespassers. If there are
any trespassers and on this point we do
not desire to express any opinion they are
Individual campers. Sue them." This is
genius. Only a month In office and they
havo already caught the official tone to a
nlcey. Could any man discover a neater
excuse for doing nothing-? let there be no
further question tnat tney are worm meir
$o00 per month per man.
In that vulgar and almost forgotten age
before the fire, using the heartless and in
considerate phraseology of the street, we
should have characterised this declaration
of independence by the commissioners as
"paiwuig the buck." In thst dimly remem
bered period we should have had excitable
persons calling for troops to repel this in
vasion of the rights of property. Now the
town laughs. We have gone through a
period when no man's money was good.
We have learned a lesson of charity that
Is grestest of all.
Oeneral Oreely, like an elderly cuckoo,
deposits his campers In the first waste
place he ran And without snylng by your
leave or with your leave. The young per
son camped in the leafy and romantic
recesses of the Presidio have been flirting.
It is intimated, with the boys In khitkl.
Oeneral Oreely likes not his place as
chaperon, although, rightly understood,
that Is among the moat important func
tions of a modern major general since the
soldier has become a Jack of all trades.
Therefore he says to lovely woman, "Out
you go! the serpent shall not enter In my
garden." nnd out she goes, the bayonet
propelling and the government mule com
pelling. Go to, old graybeard; wert never young
and flirty yourself? We begin to suspect
these old fellows who know too much,
and although you may be putting up a
very fair imitation of virtue, there shall
yet be cakes and ale and ginger shall be
hot 1' the mouth In despite of earthquakes
and bayonets and whiskers.
Ejected from the garden, with Oeneral
Greely's flaming sword at the gate, the
refugees are camped on the estate of tho
late James G. Fair. Btrange things have
happened since his death to the pile that
Fair scraped together with so much labor
and pains, but none so strange as that
any part of it should be used for pur
poses of humanity and charity. Hy the
grace of the United States army the Fair
eetnte has strange bedfellows.
'TIS a topsy-turvy world, good sir and
madam. There Is sonic thins rotten In tho
state of Denmark, although the govern
ment Inspectors certify that It Is pure as

frenilcd editorial cry, "Whither are we
drifting?" Our most profitable principles
were given a bad sprain by the earth
quake. It may tuke a flood to cure them
by the method indicated in the artless
suggestion of Mr. William F. Herrln:
"Wouldn't the winter rains help you

That Is a country of fertile soil and Is
prosperous. It simply needs cultivation
Most attention Is given to citrus fruits and
olives, of which oil Is made and shipped ex

Tenth and Eleventh street viaducts, Is up
to tho last story. Tho Wrlght-WUhelmy
company, wholesale dealers In hardware.
Is occupying a part of Its new building, and
the contractors will have It finished In a
few weeks. The Young Men's Christian
association building lacks a part of a story
and a roof, but work Is progressing rapidly
there. The Iron structure has been set up
for six stories of tho big Branded retail
store at Sixteenth and Douglas streets.
When the Ronl Estate exchange ad
journed a few weeks ago for the summer.
It named the first Wednesday In August
as a mid-summer meeting day, when any
questions of Importance might be brought
before the exchange. The first Wednesday
In August will be next Wednesday. One of
the subjects which probably will come up
Is that of the payment of water rates, the
members of the exchange at a recent meet
ing having decided to pay the rate fixed
by the board instead of that asked by tho
water company,
Fred Wead and Howard Baldrlge have de
cided to make the building at Twentieth
and Farnam streets two atoiiea Instead of
one, believing that the westward move
ment of business will guarantee a revenue
on the Investment ahd that a two-story
structure would do much more to help the
looka of the street and Increase the value '
of adjoining property than a one-story
building. Four of the retail store rooms
on the ground floor have been leased and
negotiations are under way for the leaae
of the remaining one. The building la to
be very much like that at the northeast
corner of Sixteenth and Douglas, where the
Fry shoe store Is, but It Is to bo of a better
grade of brick and the windows of tho
second story are to be much wider. The
cornice Is of a pattern which will make a
handsome building.
"It often happens that (a most unat
tractive piece of property yields a better
Income than one more prepossessing," said
a real estate man the other day. driving In
the neighborhood north and north-west of
the federal building. "There is an old,
dingey looking building that on Is almost
ashamnd to own, yet It brings mora money
monthly than some which would ba a pride
to anybody. It haa the advantage of being
close In, and there la demand for it all
the time. Then there la an added attrac
tion In the fact that It la bound to Increase
In value rapidly as the city Increase In
population. Your money grows la the
night, and you don't notice It."
