RECORD PRICE PAD) FOR LOT Trwt at TKIrty-Nlath Harnrr "vlls for 99,000, Highest Prloe Ever Paid for a Rraldenea Lat In Omaha. When the Omaha Real Estate exchange meeta Wednesday It will stamp with ap proval or disapproval the proposed bond issues of the city of Omaha. Indications are that the members will disapprove the Issue, the purchase of gas plant or to furnish funds for the city to Install a sys tem. The only member who spoke on the bond Issues at ths meeting last Wednesday was George M. Nattlnger, secretary of the Omaha Loan and Building association. He declared that he was opposed to the whole Issus. Other members believed the bonds for a gas plant were to be voted simply us a club to purchase the present gas system, and they opposed such an Issue of bonds. In times past the endorsement of the Real Kstate exchange of Omulia carried consid erable weight Recognising that the action of the exchange will have some Influence on the vote, a committee has been ap pointed to go over the question of bond Is sues and report at ths meeting Wednesday. The exchange will act on the proposition after hearing a full report. Mer D. C. Bradford purchased ths resl de'iift lots of W. Farnam Smith at Thirty ninth and Harney streets for 19,000, the highest price ever paid in Omaha for - -residence lot was recorded. The lots r cured by Mr. Bradford ars 93x165, maktt the price 1most S100 per front foot for tl ninety-three-foot fi'ontage. In proport! to the distance from the business dlstr of Omaha lots In some of the largest citli -of the I'nited States are not selling fo more. "tin lany of Hie antl-annexatlonists o- South Omaha are troubling themse lvr needlessly about the question pf real estate values being affected should that city be come a part of Omaha," said a real estat, dealer who has holdings In South Omahn "Th fact of the matter Is that It Is bos' about real estate values being affected- I they are disturbed at all It will be to mak South Omaha real estate more valuable. But at that Omahans own a large part o' the real estate of South Omaha. If they f'hoonirt to boost to havs their own holdlngf affected It is their right, and should there be a loss It will fall pn. Omahans i-it hard as It will on owners In South Omaha As for ths real estate men, I believe they are for the annexation. This seems to be the sentiment In both cities." Buying for Improvement and not for speculation. Is the spirit which prompted soma forty purchasers to Invest In Omahn real estate, located in the New Dundee addition, which has been opened by Oeorge . tt Co. Following an auction sale of lots In the addition last week, a number have sines purchased lots of the company. In disposing of tho property at prices rang ing from $475 to tt'50 the company has sold largely to parties intending to build homes at once. Ixits have been sold at low prices to those who Intend to build at once, while In almost every sale the real estate firm has eeoured an agreement that homos will be built early next year. This has assurred an Improved addition to the city of considerable slie. Several residences are now under construction In the new adltlon, ranging In price from $3,500 to $6,000. Real estate dealers are much Interested In the brick veneered residence, which are being built in various parts of the city. The new home of F. H. Knapp on the boulevard terraces, Thirty fifth street and Poppleton avenue, which Is to cost $10,000, is one home which Is attracting -considerable attention. Flats are becoming more popular as an Investment. Within the last week several choice pieces of property have changed hands, Including the double brick flat at Twenty-first and Erskine streets, which have been purchased by Jewell & Phannlx. Sam Adler has purchased lots at Thirty eighth and Farnam streets, where he will build flat buildlnKB costing $'J0.00O to $,000. Hastings & 1 ley den are planning a num ber of St. Louis flats on Sherman avenue, while a new row of the St. Louis style Hals are to be erected by M. K. White on lots at Twenty-second and Douglas streets. Oeorge & Co., sold the lots for Mr. White's flats. . Charles S. Hoxle has sold two small lots between Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth streets on Hamilton to Benjamin Shafton for $2,60U. The lots will be Im Sir Horace Plunket of Dublin, Ireland, as gone west to look over his holdings, reeling to return to Omaha next week "hough Sir Horace has not made doflnlte 'ans for further Investments in Omahu e has a number of propositions under onsldoratlon, and may decide to do some 'nportant building before he rrturns to reland. Not later than a week from Wed eiiduy he expects to address the Omaha teal Kstate exchange. Slowly but surely the Omaha Real Ks ate exchangu has eliminated many unde irable dealers from the fields In Omalia nd has ceased to get. new members. "The -xchaiige has become a safeguard,'' said a nemboiN this week, "and while member ship in It does not guarantee, horn sty und Integrity, It Is a good thing for customers: to know that the exchange does not ap prove of the slightest bit of deception, such as putting fraudulent figures In a deed, which becomes a mattero reeord. In the days of cut-throat competition stage lines are said to have advertised free transportation with one meal a day thrown In. Now and then the real estate men are temlnded of those times by the activities of a new real estate Arm, which drops In and opens big offices with a flourish of trumpets and a sound of horns. Com panies will start to furnish the houses they sell sometimes, but all this startling stuff Is not good business, and Is usually an Indication that some stranger Is long on suburban real estate and has to unload a purt of It regardless of cost. The ex change alms to keep up the tono of the business, and usually the members of It are sound business men." "Never touched us," said Mr. Hastings of Hastings & Heyden In sceaking of the flurry In the eastern financial circles. "Let them take their money out of the bunks i and invest In real estate. More Inquiries J are coming In now for- Omaha real estate than for years. People may be afraid of I the banks, but they are not afraid of real estate r. Omaha," A little row at meters over the doors In the Paxton bluck tells an Interesting story of the things which building manag ers are learning In Omaha. And It Is all said to have happened In the most sim ple way. A manager In one of the big office buildings, where light Is furnished, strolled Into the office of a new tenant. All lights were turned on, although the tenant was wrapped In thought and not even using one light. No customers were In sight and the manager addressed the new tenant: -"Nice, light suite of rooms you have here, said the manager, taking an Inven tory of the place, as though It was strange to him, "Must cost yod quite a little sum for electricity alone?" "Oh, ws have to keep up appearances," said the tenant. "Never do, you know, to have people coming In and finding the place dark. They would think we were not doing business. Pays to keep up busi ness, to be sure." "On a meter?" Inquired the manager. "No, no, of course not," replied the tenant. "Building pays for It certainly. Could not afford to do It ourselves." a-Cnl (Cigars fa r ' 1 i Tom Eeene Cigars, 3 for 10c. Owl Cigars, 3 for 10c. Little Chancellor Cigars, 3 for 10c. Sherritt's Guarantee Cigars, 3 for 10c.

Mayor Pahlman is expecting a notice from someone that he will be expected to enforce the law requiring the observance of the Sabbath day, and he says that he isn't at all pleased with the prospect, be cause If such notice is served he will be con polled to act, as he did In the matter of the removal of screens from windows, and he places himself on record as unalter ably opposed to the enforcement of such laws. Contrary to the general impression, the state law Is not so drawn as to Include all forms of business and trade In the prohi bition against operation on Sunday. Its terms expressly exclude the operation of trains, of movers, of traveling and labor of necessity or eharlty, aa-wall as speci fically excluding frou--tts" terms all persons who observe the "seventh day of the week as the Sabbath. Under the well established rule of law that an act enumerating a num ber of pursuits as prohibited on Sunday does not cover pursuits not so enumersted there la a question whether theaters come under the terms of the stats law, slnos they are not specially mentlo.-d in the list which Includes (.porting, hunting and fish ing, together with a number of other things. Referring to the probability of being com pelled to enforce this law, the mayor said: I have heard It rumor?d that at least two Interests Intend to demand the enforcement of the Sunday law by me. I hope they will not do It, for If I am compelled to do so i ! certainly will close everything which comes under the terms of the law, and courts may be compelled to determine Just what Is meant by the words 'necessity and charity.' I will not be able to enforce the law in part, for what some persons might regard as suitable occupations to bs followed on ' Sunday others would And as objectionable : as any and so all would be compelled to stand or fall together."

Since the strike the Western Union has served In Its dining room in the Omaha National Bank building twenty-five break fasts, seventy-five noon lunches and the same number "of dinners dally. Twenty employes have occupied ths sleeping apart ments each night.
