Paxton Is considering the advis ability of erecting an eight-story apartment house, larger and finer than any In the city, on hla vacant lots at the northwest corner of Twenty-fifth avenue and Fa mam street. Mr. Paxton said Tuesday he had no definite plana as yet, but he would build, provided he could spare from his various business enterprises the large amount of money requisite to erect such a building as he desires.

The Omaha postofllce officials offer the suggestion that In view of the Inevitable rush for mailing holiday packages, patrons should endeavor to present all packages to be mailed to distant points for deposit In the office as early as puealble Instead of waiting for the Inst two or three days be fore Christmas. Sufficient extra help will be provided to meet the rush, but the public can materially assist In the expedition of the work by starting out their packages earlier. The outlook Is for the heaviest Christmas rush yet experienced at this office. The follow ing rules are suggested: Do not enclose any written matter In packages that are expected to be mailed at merchandise rates. Otherwise you vio late the law and may get Into trouble. A sufficient number of weighers will he In the postoffice corridors near the stamp room to accommodate all patrons. Better ' have too many stamps on the package than not enough. Mall your packages early. Register all valuable packages, as you will be then apprised of their safe arrival at destination. The registry fee Is but 8 cents. Be careful to tie the packages securely and thus avoid possible loss of contents. Write address on the package wrapper. Do not rely upon a tag. Tags are liable to be torn oft In transmission. Use the utmost care In addressing pack ages. Use Ink where possible and write the address plainly. Write your return card on the package. Be sure and make Inquiry at the stamp window of the postage required and, pro curing It, stick the stamps on the package yourself. Have the packages weighed at the post office. Do not try to guess the weight. Gold Fobs Copley, Jeweler, H5 B. 16th.

JEWS CELEBRATE FESTIVAL Churches Obterre th Feast of Lieut, or Chtnukka, VICTORY UNDER JUDAS MACCABEUS Kxerelaea Will Contlnae Thronahoat the Week, Culminating with Ks. tenslve Programs for Sun day School Chrlatmas. Beginning last evening the Festival ot Chanukka, or the Feast of Light, is being unserved In Jewish churches. This festival In the Jewish church cor responds to the Chrlstmr.s season In the Christian church. Wednesday being the twenty-fifth day of KIpIps, according to the Jewish calendar, the festival began Tues day evening. The festival will be observed Sunday morning in Temple Israel by a special program given by the 8unday school children beginning at 10 o'clock. The entertainment will be followed by tho distribution of confections. Friday even ing Rabbi Frederick Cohn will speak at the temple on, "The Spirit of the Mac cabees." At the Saturday morning service a violin duet will be rendered by Helen Sornmer and 8adle Klrschbraun. The Festival of the Chanukka lasts ten days and Is marked by the lighting of candles In the homes and exchange of presents. Victory Under Maecabena. Rabbi Cohn gave this sketch of the fes tival: "The Festival of Chanukka Is a historical festival to commemorate the victory of the Jews 'under the leadership of Judas Macca beus and his brothers (called the Macca bees) over Antlochus, the Syrian tyrant who attempted to destroy the religion of the Jews In the year 10 B. C. The word Chanukka means dedication and Is so called because of the Joyful reconsecrntlon of the temple In Jerusalem after It had been wrested from the hands of the sacrellglous Syrians. It was 100 years after the victory of Juda and his brethren over the Syrians that the founder of Christianity was born. Without Chanukka there would be no Christmas. Chanukka Is earlier In origin and the celebration of the festival was widespread among the Jews and therefore among the earlier Christians at least cen turies before the establishments of the In stitution by Christmas. "Chanukka Is observed for eight days and the candles are lighted In the home by the head of the household, the first night one candle and so on until eight on the last evening. Now It Is the custom to have the children light candles." Program for Snndoy.

Secretary Koenlg of the Water board served certified copies of the reso.utlons adopted by the board on Edward M. Fair field of the Omaha Water company Tues day morning. General Manager Fairfield did not have much to say regarding the documents, which he said he tould refer to the attorneys of the company and let them wrestle with the sltualton. Mr. Fair field raised the contenUon about the failure of the three appraisers to agree and whether that failure would release the Water board from carrying out Its con tract to buy the plant at an appraised valuation, the Water company contending a majority of the appraisers being suf ficient for appraisement purposes. Copies ot the Water board resolutions will be forwarded to President Woodbury of the Omaha Water company In New York and to R, S. Hall, local attorney. Attorney Hall was busy Tuesday In the federal court and was unable to commit himself on the action of the Water board. He said he understood the Water board Intended building a plant for the city and thought such practical experience In this line of work would give the water commis sioners a valuable fund of knowledge In the matter of the water supply. The appraisement made by Daniel W. Mead and George H. Benxenberg was $6,- 263,2)6.49, Appraiser John W. Alvord fall ing to concur with hts conferees In the appraisement. Under an order from Judge Munger the appraising board divided that total to show the valuation ot the South Omaha properties at $446,256.84, Dundee at $19,398.83. Florence at $13,881.81. R. B. Howell, chairman of the Water board committee, to provide a water plant for the city, said he would call a meeting of his committee In a few days. At the first meeting of that committee the question of what kind of a plant the city should have will be discussed and a general plan of procedure will be adopted.

"Our dead package office Is large," snld J. A. Houston of the local office of one of the express companies. "Right after the holidays It grots to its largest proportions. Tou see. during the holiday rush a package may have its address tag torn off. Then if the name of the sender is not upon it there is no way of finding to whom It belong or to whom it should be delivered. We keep them a year and, if not called for, they are sold at auction. "We even have a considerable number of express money orders that ire never cashed. Why? Well, it's hard to say. The sender may have died Just after sending the money and before he would have had time to get an acknowledgement. Then again, he may have taken it for granted that the money was delivered and, because he received no acknowledgment of the gift, he may have become angry and for feited, not only the money, but the frlond ship of the person to whom he sent IL "The moral of all this Is that pcopl.. should have their addresses on all packager that they send away and should never take anything for granted."

WOMEN II CLU3 kii CHARITY After a discussion that occupied rwaily the entire time allotted for business, the Woman's club decided at Monday after noon's meeting to assume responsibility for the erection of a bronse statue of Abraham Lincoln In the triangle at the southeast corner of the high school grounds. This ac tion followed the report of a committee from the club, Including a representative of each department, which met at the high school last Friday morning In conference with Superintendent Davidson, A. H. Waterhouse, principal of the high school, and H. P. Whllmore. The proposition that the club furnish this statue was made by Mr. Waterhouse, the committer being ap pointed later to Investigate Just what the obligation would entail. Mr. Waterhouse explained to the committee the desirability of such a statue and suld that the high school class . of 16U7, and the teachers, would furnish the pedestal of Montana mar ble or some equally substantial material, If the' club would furnish the statue. It Is proposed that the figure be seven or eight feet high and that the base raise It to about fourteen or fifteen feet. Mr. Water house prefers the model with the unbearded face, and the material will be of bronxe. Mr. Whltmore was asked while abroad last summer to Investigate the cost of such a statue, and Frame Zelexny, the celebrated German sculptor, will deliver It In Omaha for about $1,000. Zelexny, while celebrated In Europe, has but one piece of work In this country, and offers this monument to the middle West at a price much below what American sculptors ask. The commit tee recommended that the club assume re sponsibility for the statue, not to exceed $1,300. The club assumed the obligation, but on the condition that the money should be raised by the members and not taken from the club treasury. It was suggested that subscriptions be asked from graduates of the high school who are still In the city, and that some suitable entertainment be given to raise funds. If necessary. The club also decided to hold a New Tear's reception this year, that new mem bers might become better acquainted, and that all might have opportunity of greet ing the new president, Mrs. A. B. Somers. This reception, formerly a feature of the club year, has not been held regularly the last few years, but the women feel that the social side of the organization may have suffered somewhat and the old custom will be observed this year. Miss Jane Brownlee will be the speaker before the meeting of the social science department of the Woman's club Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The December meeting of the Women's Christian Temperance union has been post poned until Wednesday, December 19. Miss Nan Dorsey, one of the visiting nurses, presented the need of a hospital for the care of patients suffering from con tagious diseases, and a committee will be appointed from the club to appear before the city council to endorse the proposi tion made by City Physician Connell re garding such an Institution.
