TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK Bale of Cathedral Means Big Building for Ninth Street. TO COVZBJENTIEE HALF BLOCK la Structures of Commerce Encroach Rapidly oa Red Llcht District and Drnliru Blast Move la Fsot Years. U!li p Beannell received a check for tCOOO last week. This would have ex cited little Interest for the public at large bad It nut become known that ths check was earnest money from a large corpora tion on the purchase of the Bt. Ittillomena cathedral property, and that the con summation of the transaction would mean not alone the erection of another Cathollo church In the southeast part of ths city and ths probable enlargement of the church of St. Mary Magdalene, but the construction of a mammoth wholesale building to cover an entire half block on the alt of the present cathedral and parish school. It probably means also the construction of another parish school. The John Deere Plow company gave the check. Manager Peek ssys the company contemplates the erection of an eight-story building, ltixiti feet. Its present large horns at Tenth and Leav enworth streets Is crowded, snd a warehouse Is maintained In Council Bluffs, as well as on or two small ones In Omaha, A year ago th company bought a half block 'of ground at Ninth and Leaven worth streets, but the church property at Ninth and Harney Is considered more desirable. It Is said that 100.000 Is the price agreed on for th four lots. This Improvement of Ninth street with big wholesale buildings means that the denutens of the "red light" district must eventually find new quarters. H may be ten years before they are com pelled to move, but commere Is fast crowding northward on them. The bug M. E. Pmlth buildings, th United Slate Supply company's house, th Carpenter Paper company's building and the Byrn A Hammer Dry Oood company's horn ar all big structure which have risen on Ninth street within th last year. Fair banks, Morse A Co. are about to build at Ninth and Harney. And now the John Deer Plow company contemplate on aa Urge as both the M. K. Smith build ings. Let a few mora oome and soon site will hav to be found north of Doug las street. )YbUa prosperity to at 1U height the churches are very active In acquiring new honies. And while the established Institu tions are building then-solves handsome places of worship, new churches are or ganizing and starting to ork In a modest way. The latest arrival Is the First United brethren church, which has recently bought the old building at Nineteenth and Lathorp streets, occupied a few years ngo by the First I'nlversullst church, which lias sluce been dlsaolvtsj. Tho purchase price Is not disclosed, but ltev. M. O. McLaugh lin says, with $3,000 worth of repairs, the building will be worth 118,000. The Druid Hill Improvement club, at Its meeting last week, denounced the council for giving away the city's streets. This righteous wrath was occasioned by the city's presentation of a part of ltoyd street, by lease, to the Missouri Pacific, the action being taken without petition. The club said the action was illegal and in viola tion of the city charter. The club ad drersed to the city Council a letter of proteet, which was referred tu the city at torney. At the Real Estate exchange meeting last week there was much discussion pro and con as to whether one should build small houses or large ones If rie would do most for the welfare of Omaha. Some said the large houses were better for the town be cause they made a better appearance; oth ers said poor people had to have homes 'and the builder, with proper regard for the good of the city, would erect small Cottages such as these could rent or buy. This question remained undecided and the talk changed to the subject of profits on large and small houses. Some said they made more money on cottages and some made mors on large house. So th second question was unsettled. "I have been building a good many flats In the last year," said Ernest Sweet, "and I am satisfied with the results. If I want to sell them, they will not. of course, be taken off my hands as quickly as cottages would be, but as long as I rent them I get a better Interest on my money than If t bad put it in cottages. Th Byron Reed company baa Just sold two lota In Redtck Park, on Plnckney street, beta-ren Twenty-seventh and Twen-ty-lhth, for 4u0 each. The sale Is In significant In Itself, bttt significant when viewed In the light of history. In 1888 an improvement association of thirty members was organised and bought thirty lots in th vlotnlty, these two Included in the number, for $30,000. The north part of th city continues to grow. In addition to the development of such subdivisions as Kountse Place. Mon mouth Park. Collier Place, Patrick Place and ethers, a new addition Is to be opeiwd ... - - .- - : id At nMr 3 wg 'i U it - 4t f-ff -; iMvisV:tJAJ iR ' . , ; OMAHA BUSINESS MEN READY TO ST ART FOR LINCOLN ON A FRIENDLY VISIT THURSDAY LAST. at Twenty-fifth and Laird streets. Nicholas Mergen sold his tract there about a week ago to George P. Hulst for W.000, and the latter plans to grade, plat and place the lots on the market. In all probability on th easy payment plan. Some live realty men ought to be able to sell to the Catholics a lot for a church site In the vicinity of Tenth and William streets. The Catholics in the south end of St. Phllomena's parish, who will have to establish another parish If St. Phllo mena's Is consolidated with th pariah of Bt. Mary Magdalene, have already been looking at a part of the Kounts estate with a view of buying. The new church will prebably be on Tenth street, to be near th car Una. St. Patrick's at Four teenth and Caatellar streets and St. Jos eph's on Bouth (Sixteenth street ar too far away for th peopl south and aaat of th Union depot. Perhaps the troubles of th street oar company in securing a sit for a new ear barn hav not yet been ended. First th company bought ground near St. Joseph's hospital, but gav It up at th request of th hospital authorities, who objected to having th barn aa eloa to their lutUtuUeo. Then th company took an option on lots on the north aide of Dorcas street, eaut of Sixth, and men connected with the com pany paid money down on four acres on the south side of Dorcas, between Sixth and Eighth streets. When the boundaries of the latter were definitely determined, tho company pronounced the site undesirable, as part of It was filled ground. And now the other deal may UtM through because soma of the heirs of L. Woodworth, of whom there ar twenty-Uiree, are reluctant to sign the deed to the property on the north side of. Dorcas street. N. F. Harrfman has bought from A. H. Fetters, for a residence sit, a tract of ground at th northwest corner of Wool worth street and th boulevard, paying Kooa, Ralph B. Sunderland baa bought from L T. Sunderland, for Su.bOO, a house and lot on th east aid of Thirty-first street be tween Paclflo and Poppleton. Nick Uarlnl bought from Bertha Blrkett, for W.OuO, a bouse and lot on th north Id of Pleroe street between Sixth and Seventh. Th Uyron Reed company sold a new cot tag on Burdatt street to William. J.

He was the close personal friend of the lato Senator A. S. Paddock and was prominent in Nebraska politics fifteen or twenty years ago.

The funeral purty will be met at Kunnos City by another brother. Will Plckrell, now eij route there from Arizona. A number of formor Nebraska ac quaintances and former residents of Bea trice met at the undertaking establishment of Cole-McKay Saturday mornlnif to pay their last tribute of respect to the late Watson Plckrell. PickreH'a body will not leave until 9 a. m. Sunday for Kansas City. It will go via the Burlington to Kansas City. ' The town of Plckrell, Gago county, was named after Mr. Pick nil. NEW LESSEES OF DREXEL Georse K. Butler and Carl K. Sorea sea Will Conduct Hotel for Five Years. George B. Butler and Carl K. Sorensen have leased tho Drexel hotel for Ave years and will operate It, probably changing the name to the Scherb hotel. Mr. Butler lias a barber shop at 2C8 South Twelfth street, and Mr. Sorensnn 'has been manager of the Atwood Employment agency. Part ol the hotel la owned by Louis Bcherb of Los Angeles snd part by John Harte of Omaha, one having the main building and '.he other the kitchen and healing plant, making it a difficult matter to arrange a lease. The Byron Reed company was equal to the task, though, and the contract was signed In the company's ofllce Satur day. John Harte has been proprietor of th Drexel hotel for twenty years. PEEK CONFIRMS BEE STORY Flow Company Will Build Eight Stories on Cathedral Sjite. HONEYMOON T0THE ORIENT Bridal Teur ef Rev. O. C. Kawtrll Will Land Tuent la Seoul, (erf. Rev. C. C. Sawtell and his bride, for merly Miss Katherlne McClung, will travel a honeymoon of many thousand miles They started Saturday morning for Seoul. Corea, where they will serve eight yearc as missionaries under the direction of the Foreign Missionary Board" of the Presby terian church. Mr. Sawtell was a member of the Second Presbyterian church. He Is a graduate of Bellevue college and a graduate last spring of th Omaha Theological seminary. Mrs. Sswtell Is a trained nurse, who took her course at the Omuha General hospital. They wer married very recently at th horn of the bride's parents, at Primrose, NU EXPECT TO STABT THIS FALL Building Will Be of Heavy Mill Co a strurllon, Costing; Upward of Four Hundred Tkouaaad Dollars. That the John Deere Plow company bad bought th St. Phllomena cathedral prop erty and will erect an lght-tory war house covering the entlr half-block, as) reader of the Bee learned a few dayaj ago, was confirmed by Manager George N4 Peek on his return to Omaha Saturday from the state fair. "We have bought from the Catholic thi four lots on the west side of Ninth street between Harney and Howard street," aaltl Mr. Peek, "and will erect a building oq It l!Cx264 feet.. It will be eight stories Inj height, that Is, It may be seven storied and basement and It may be eight storied and basement. We expect to start worst this fall, though the Illness of th prsr dent of the company, Charles Deere, majf possibly delay operations until spring. Th. company's architect will b In Omaha; within two weeks and plana will be begun at once." The building will be of heavy mtU cons st ruction and will cost upwards of 1400,000. As the site Is costing the company 1100,000k the new building means an expenditure oi more than 1600,000. Deal Still Unfinished. The deal is not, closed yet, but will ba as soon as certain papers are returned) from Boston. To bind the bargain thg Deere company has paid 16.000. No deposition has been made of th com pany's present home at Tenth and Leaven worth street, but It Is offered for sale. What the concern will do with the half block at Ninth and Leavenworth It boughf a year ago for a building sits 1 a matter for speculation. It Is believed In realty circles that the Union Paclfls objected to the erection of a warehouse on the prop erty. seeing the need of It for an extension of the Uhlon depot grounds, and probably, persuaded the Deere company to find a site elsewhere. It Is even hinted by soma realty men that the railroad has already, bought the lots.
