HcmI estate, transfers have bn .inlnr
all summer and fall In re-peot to thn
amount of money Involved, and the month
Just cloned wan the biggest since May,
which probably will prove the banner
month of the year. November trannfer
amounted to $832. 12. 71. compared with
ti'-t. 2tu for October and lea amount!
for the four monthn preceding. Last
month went far ahead of November of
la-t year. In which transfer Involving
f 592. 731 were recorded, and did not make
an good a allowing as November of 1904,
which waa the beat fall month for realty
men for a number of yearn. Realty hiui
changed hand in audi quantities In the
last eleven months that even If not a
ingle ale were made In Ie ember the
aalen for the year would still Khuw an
enormous Increase over the totals for
last year.
It la quite likely that the total of build
ing permits for 1306 will run anead of
15, which is far in advance of any
year 8ince the boom days of the late '80s.
If December permits amount to $837,144,
tlion the present year will equal last year.
In 1905 the permits amounted to $4,887,
4C4; to November 31, In 1806. they
amounted to $4,000,30. Aa the monthly
average for 1906 so fnr la J340,f35. De
cember will have to fall below the aver
age if It docs not make tills year the big
one. On tho present activity in dwelling
house erection and tho plana of numerous
investor to start business houses and
flats soon, a confident prediction may be
made that December will not be found
lacking.
Although November" permit rupre
sented less average valuation than No
vember of last year, yet 100 permits were
issued, as against fifty-eight for the month
a year ago. This year Is a home-building
era, in the words of the building in
i,octar, while last year was a warehouse
building era.
Belt Line trackage property is faat
eroing; the way of property which used to
. be plentiful along the railroads running
through the center of the city from the
"Union depot west. Every week or two
someone buys a piece of it. Last week
even lots at Twenty-fourth and Boyd
streets, belonging to the estate of John
I. Redick, were sold to Omaha and South
Omaha men as a Bite for a largo coal and
lumber yard. They evidently mean busi
ness, for work has already been started
on an office building.
That the John Deere company is offer
ing for sale its big warehouse on the
Tenth street viaduct is taken as an In
dication that the company expects to erect
a new building next summer, If possible.
Several months ago the company bought
almost a block of ground on the south side
of Leavenworth street, between Ninth atid
Eighth streets, and It was announced then
that a new and larger warehouse would be
built, but when, It had not been, decided.
The company offers to take $176,000 for its
building and lot and promises to give
possession eighteen months after date of
itale.
The report was circulated early last week
fliat the Illinois Central was negotiating
for the block bounded by Chicago and
Cass and Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
and that It expected to extend Its terminal
facilities. While some of the real estate
men say they have seen things which lead
them to. believe such is the case, others
say they - can discover no foundation for
the rumor. The railroad company Itself
declares It Is not buying and has no lnten
tention of buying land in that neighbor
hood. Numerous sales of large residence prop
erties have been announced this' summer
and fall, two of which were made known
laBt week. Mrs. Ben Gallagher sold the
old Gallagher homesteud at Twenty-sixth
and Douglas streets to W. A. Paxton, 1r
for something near $13,000 and George W.
Platner sold his house at 402 South Thirty
sixth street to Mrs. J. T. Stewart for $16,000.
Charles McMenemy. who recently moved
to Omaha from Blair, has bought o'f C. S.
Montgomery the house and lot at 606 South
Thirty-sixth street and will occupy it as
a home after May L The sale was made
through the real estate firm of J. H. Du
mont Son.
Among the dwelling houses which have
recently been begun Hastings tt Heyden
report the following: One on Binnsy be
tween Fifteenth avenue and Sixteenth
street, one on Wirt between Fourteenth
avenue and Sixteenth street, two on
Bpencer between Fourteenth avenue and
sixteenth street, one in Bemis . park on
Thirty-second street lust north of tbe new
boulevard, two at Tventy-seoond and
Clark, two at Twenty-third and Laird, two
at Twentieth and Ames avenue, one at
Twenty-third and Brown and one at
Twenty-fifth avenue and Brown. This firm
has only one house left unsold out of
twenty-five It has already built this year.
At the Real Estate exchange meetings
the Torrens system frequently conies up i
for discussion, and it has a number of
warm supporters. One of these the other
day was calling the attention of his friends
to an artiole which appeared recently 1n
the Chicago Record-Herald, telling of the
success of the Torrens system, hioh la in
operation la Illinois. The article which
was written by Abel DhvIs, registrar of
titles of Cook county, teads In part as
follows:
In dealing with the administrative aspect
f the Torrens system rwo essential fea
tures have been made predominant
namely, rapidity and accuracy without
which any Hem of land registration I
Imperfect. These two things hiv been ac
complished over obstacles which can. b
understood only by thoe who are familial,
not luurely with tho difficulties In build
ing up an administrative office, but with
the difficulty of instructing the public In
the details of a law and yt.teiu with which
it is not familiar.
But notwithstanding this uphill struggl".
It is now alays posoiMe to rogisier any
title and obtaiu a certificate within from
thirty to thirty-five days after application
has been made, provided, however, that ti e
applicant promptly Hnd cheerfully render
his assistance in curing any defpet in the
title that may have been discovered by the
examiners. This achievement has been ro
ognlsed by those who have Interested them
ow. In the avstem. so that In the last
year a number of large tracts of land have
ben registered.
William A. Bond, one of the stanche'l
supporter- of the system, has exhibited Ida
f.uh w Ma works and has himself regis
tered, or through bis clients caused to 1
resiitred. a number of large tracts which
have been subdivided into lots. The up-
ate value of lands registered by him or
caused to be n sistered by him amounts to
than Ltuj.Oto. and the uumoer of Sep
urate lots to uoward of l.SOtt. A large num
ber of such lota have since been trans
ferred under the svstetn.
The publw should famfllarlxe Itself with
the large transactions that are heme: han
dled hi this way. But the natural question
K allied here Is: How accurate has been
the work of regis (ration? Tue au-wtr is

short and simple. The office has yet to
learn of a single Instance where a mistake
has occurred which has In any way caused
a loss to the property owner or raised any
question as to the validity of his title.
The work here outlined is, after all, only
tho preliminary rirt, for the efficacy of
the whole system rest on the way In which
the transfers of property after registra
tion are handled. Here again the public
may note with satisfaction the progress
which has been inaxle. Whether the trans
action be larae or small. Involve $!) or
IIki.Ouo, the necessary papers may be filed
and the transfers completed within twenty
four hours, and In case of special emer
ftonc.y within a few hours. This Cimpnres
very favorably with the rapidity with which
an ordinary stock transfer is made. There
are quite a number of instances In which
very larne transactions have been closed
within a few hours.
The rapidity with which larir loans have
lein ami can bo made is perhaps the most
distinguishing feature of all. lx)an run
ning from $1(10 to .VAO"" have ber-n made
on registered property in which the whole
transaction required but a trip to the regis
trnr's oftlco, a wait of only a few minutes
until the trust deed or mortgage could be
registered on the original certificate and
on t lie duplicate, and the note or notes
Identltled. Contrast this with the tedious,
expensive method under the abstract sys
tem. Up to September 25, lWW, there have been
Died In the office of the registrar of titles
l.IlM trust deeds and mortgages, securing
an Indebtedness of $2,"3&,a.i. Many of the
Incumbrances secured by the Torrens cer
tificates are for no.ono and above; one is
for $.Mi0, one for 35,o. one for in.ooo
and one for $wi,000. One bank has taken
between thirty and forty certificates.
That the men who are willing to risk
their money are not foolhardy ones, but
among the most successful and at the same
time conservative real estate loan brokers
in t'hlcaco. is evident from the following
list of persons and corporations either own
ing or controlling loans made on Torrens
certificates of title:
Then follows a list of twenty-three finan
cial concerns which are loaning money on
the system of certificates. Mr. Davis says
the number of Torrens certillcates lssuod
In Chicago to date is 6.621.

Dr. II. Ij. Arnold has returned from Eu

and sightseeing.
"Honestly, It was good to get back to
Omaha, with its new buildings going up.
While in Europe 1 only saw three buildings

there are plenty at the docks and other
places to show the Yankee tourist the way

"I was surprised when In Vienna and
Brussels to notice how many people had a
speaking knowledge of the English lan
guage. Nearly every business house has
someone that speaks the language, and
such knowledge Is becoming a business re

"If two old fools, or an old fool and a

divorce merely because two persons have
decided they do not want to live together

Tills vigoioua language was used by
Judge Troup Saturday morning, when he
denied a rehearing in the case of Cordelia
Sundcan against Herman Sundean. He hnd
previously eeulod to grant a divorce. Mr.
Sundean is about 40 years old, while his

he has contributed only about $75 to her

Two men sat in the rotunda of a local

smooth-faced gentleman with tho gray hair
is a resident of Omaha, but a former Ken

Bald he of the gray mustache. "That
town Is going to the dogs; yes, sir, to the
dogs!"
"What's the matter?" Inquired the
Omahan quietly, as he flecked the ashes
from his cigar.
"Well, sir, what would you think, colonel,
of a town where they closed the bars at
10 o'clock?"
"Ton don't mean to tell me " gasped
the Omahan.
"Yes, sir, Just that. Promptly at 10
o'clock every bar la closed and you can't
get a drop, sir, till the next morning at a
o'clock."
"Is It possible?" gasped the Omahan, a
look of horror on his face.
"Exactly that, sir, and there Is no back
or side door, either. Oh, it's something
awful."
"Horrible," gasped the other. "Won't
you have something now?"
"Thanks, colonel."
And tho two hurried away to the thirst

swore never to visit Nashville.

Henrj Wa$ About to Embark, but is
Restrained by Wife.
FAMILY THEN VIEWS HORSE SHOW FROCKS
Father, Mother and Children Gase
Ipoa Tholr Tanbark Garments
and Reflect on Their
Social Advent.
Tilings quieted down for a spell In the
Livingston household after Henry Living
ston surprised the family with the an
nouncement he would attend the Horse
Show in full and correct regalia. The Horse
Show Incident lost its Identity In the sub
sequent tide of everyday events. The new
suit and silk tile were carefully put away
by Mrs. Livingston In an upstairs waru
robo where mirths could not corrupt, for
she filled the pockets with moth balls. The
new Horse Show effects rested quietly, un
seen, except on such occasion, as Willie
Livingston, aged 7, slipped upstairs with
some doubting Thomas of his school com
panions and allowed tbe skeptical one to
feast his eyee on the garments. '
After the Horse Show Mr. Livingston
went back to his little storo on the cor
ner and was the 'same "Henry" he had
been at the same old stand for twenty
years. Mrs. Livingston became fully recon
ciled to her husband's little flyer at the
tanbark arena and philosophized that such
little experiences were good for a man's
system. So the Horse Phow Incident waa
duly .recorded In the family Bible with
other chronological events.
Henry Turns to I'onltry.
Nothing more might ever have been writ
ten or said of the Livingstons had not
Henry been Inveigled by a friend to look
upon the poultry-raisins; idea when dressed
chickens and ejfgs were at top prlcen on
the market. Henry thought he saw money
In poultry. He had riot been a greedy
man In business uffairs, having been con
tented with fair profits. He had built a
neat business and, through years of pa
tient application, had brought himself and
family to a comfortable position In llf.
Now, he . thought, it would be meet and
proper to raise poultry for profit and pleas
ure. Not oil "a certain evening once upon a
time," but it was at the dinner tnble last
Tuesday evenim,' that Mrs. Livingston, with
womanly Intuition, noticed her Henry was
perturbed. She noticed he ate his toast
upside down nnd drank his coffee with tho
spoon In ills cup.
"Did Henry grive two tens for a five, or
did he break a showcase at the Htore to
day?" were some of tho questions she
asked herself, the while attending to the
needs of the younger children. Florence,
who was always in telepathic symiwithy
with her mother, b"gin to feel the break
in the current.
"Henry, arc you quite well this even
ing;?" asked Mrt:. Livings ton. as she passed
Willie n slice of pie, after, what seemed
to Willie, an Interminable delay.
He ('nuld Feel It lomliiir.
Henry could feel something coming on.
Ho had not been guilty of any crime, but
at the Kearney Military Academy
as Kearney hall, and two dormitories,
which were christened Cochran and Lewis
hall, with funds furnished largely by
trie. His of the academy In the east. It
pasted through the financial stress and
hard times In the Do's, each year gradu-
atlng a num1r of young men who are now
in the army, church and other walks of
public life. The new building- is of rein
forced concrete, being a replica of a build
ing In I'tlcu, N. Y., which cost $100,000,
having been selected lor its architectural
beauty and utility. It Is hoped the demand
tor the wings of this new building may Boon
be required. The funds for this main build
ing were provided by Mrs. Cochran of
New 1 ork, who gave M.Ouo; F. G. Keens of
Kearney, who gave $10,000, and the rest by
citizens of Kearney and friends of the
school. The school has an endowment fund
at this time of $36,000, with the probability

felt, nevertheless, much like the boy whose
hair was wet when he tcld his mother he
had not been swimming. But Henry re
solved then and there to make a clean
breast and face the lbsue, which was small
In itself, but wonderfully magnified In
Henry's mind.
"I feel quite well, dear wife, but am just
a trifle tired. I carried a crate of chickens
home. I am going into the poultry business
on a small scale," responded Henry to his
wife's query.
The last sentence was released liko catsup
that had been working in a bottle suddenly
opened. Henry had been waiting to say
the words all evening und his wife's ques
tion served as the metaphorical cork 3crew.
Mrs. Livingston, Willie, Jane, Florence
and Horace looked at their husband and
father in a new light. Florence, 18, and
practical, thought of the fresh eggs she
would gather; Horace, 14, and studious,
saw his father's name appended to articles
In poultry magazines; Mrs. Livingston,
motherly and conservative, thought her
husband should forget about the poultry
Idea.
Family Vlevra the Chickens.
Henry Livingston led the family group
to the cellar, where he had placed, unob
served, an hour before, a crate nf chickens.
Tue Livingstons gathered around the crate
like a lot of tourists viewing an Egyptian
mummy or an ossified num. The chickens
reached their heads out between the sluts
and Willie tried to grab one of the heads.
Henry stoud to one side, waiting for his
wifo's verdict.
"What did you pay for your chickens,
Henry?" asked the wife.
"Seven fifty for the lot. They are splen
did birds, good layers and all peaceful
creature:-," replied Mr. Livingston, sohie
what reassured and endeavoring In a half
hearted way to make his words count, al
though he was really beginning to sicken
of his bargain.
"Henry, you were right about those
horse show clothe?, but I cannot help but
feel you are wrong this time. The Living
stons are not adapted to poultry raising
and I think you had hotter help reshingle
jot
the church than sink your money in
of jKiultry that will not add any credit to
the name of Livingston," responded the
wife.
Fifty Cents In the Clear.
The light beuau to breuk in uu Henry.
He felt all along he had made a mistake.
'1 he next day he sold the crate and con
tents for iH. which placed Henry 60 cents
to tho good on the transaction.
After the family gathering1 around the
crate of poultry Henry ajid his wife brought
out the horse show' tranuents and thought
of belter days.
Mrs. Livingston kissed her hudband and
forever afterward the word poultry was
stricken from the Livingston vocabulary.
"Yer ain't ijot cold leet, have yer, paw?"
yelled Willie, when he realized the turn
aflairs had taken.
