COUNCIL ' FINAL ON PAVING Decision it on Sufficiency of Peti tion Settle the Matter, Say th Court. That the decision of trie city council la final on the question of the sufficiency of a paving petition when all the legal steps ha t been taken by that body waa the substance of an Important decision made by Judge Redlck, Wednesday morning. In refusing to enjoin the city from collecting special taxes on the paving between Lake and Ohio streets on Twentieth. " Judge Redlck upholds In every particular the statute giving the council the final au thority to declare a petition good and holds that where the council has compiled with all 'the requirements of the law the courts will not Interfere With the collection of the taxes by the Injunction process. lie declared the only remedy a property owner had was to take an appeal to the courta during the time allotted for that purpose. 1 Tho case was one In which E. Kendrlck, a property owner, tried to enjoin the collec tion of paving taxes on his property, as serting the paving petition lacked four feet of the majority of the foot frontage of the district. The court held the council had complied with the law and Ita de cision la final. Th plaintiff also attacked the validity of the law which makes tho council the final authority, but Judge Redlck also sustained the law. The decision will prevent property own ers from escaping taxea levied for paving by raising technical questions as to the ownership of the property represented In the petition. COMMERCIAL CLUB,, OPENING With Sloa;aa of Thousand Member , Thl Year It Will Dedicate Jfen Quarters. "One thousand members by the end 6f 1908." 1 This Is the resolution L. M. Talmage, chairman of the membership committee of the Commercial club of Omaha, has made, and a meeting of the commltteo will be held in the rooms of the club Thursday noon to discuss "ways and means" of securing several hundred new members. Never has the . Commercial club of Omaha beenaln such prosperous condition and never have the members been given so much In return for their money. All the conveniences and social features of the new rooms are small as compared to the practical work of the club in ad vertising the city, looking after freight rates, arranging to care for conventlona and bringing them to Omaha, encouraging and promoting public enterprises and as sisting Industries which are looking for locations. The dues of the club are $20 per year, about one-third of what the average social club secures from Its members. Just now the rooms are new throughout and the Ownera of the Board of Trade building are planning to put a new elevator in ' the building, which will make the rooms more accessible to the. members. Thev remodeled rooms are to be opened Thursday evening and the houae commit tee has sent out Invitations to members.

ARGUE THEIR SIGNS ARE ARTISTIC Oaaalaar People Assert that Borne Art Really to He Compared with Prodaet of tha Old Maater. Arguing that the new billboard ordinance of the city of Omaha ia unconstitutional and that the poster with which It adorns the billboards In this city really enhance the beauty of Omaha and covers up "sore" spots on the landscape, the Gunning Sys tem company, owning the billboard fran chise. Is succeeding In balking the building Inspector's orders to comply with the ordinance by continually post poning the argument of the restraining order granted by District Judge William A. Redlck on January 7. The order re straining the building Inspector from en forcing the ordinance waa to have been argued on January 20, but, while the city' legal department Is and has been ready for the trial of the action, It has been post poned from timp to time. City Attorney Burnam, however, hopes to have the action tried at this term of court. "We ar told that some of our posters equal the works of the old masters," say the dunning people, "and only today we received a telephone request to place billboard on Farnam street In the vicinity of Thirty-eighth, to hide a ravine which Is used as a receptacle for rubbish. We want to do all we can to make Omaha beautiful,' aald the Gunning man With smile, 'and therefore we will erect a bill board to hide that ravine. Jab at Woman's Hat. "Just because the hat worn by soma woman on the street Jars on your artistic sense, you cannot get an ordinance passed prohibiting her from wearing . the hat. It may appear beautiful to another. 80 It Is with our billboards j-ou may not like them, but-another will simply rave over their beai:y. "Then, again, how can the city tell us to build our billboards a certain distance from the sidewalks any more than It can tell a property holder to build a house a certain distance from the curb line," con cluded the representative of the bill post ing trust. Mr. Burnam, the city attorney, states that billboard legislation Is about the hard est kind Imaginable. The Kansas supreme court haa fVled directly against anti-billboard ordinances, other supreme courta are rather lukewarm, while some are against the flaring poster advertlaements. The Nebraska supreme court has never passed upon the question. A recent bill board ordinance passed by the council of Milwaukee Is similar to that of Omaha, but the Wisconsin courta have as yet not been asked for a ruling. As long as the restraining order Is In force the building Inspector nan do nothing with the billboards of Omaha, violation of the order of the district Judge subjecting him to a fine of 1500. BEFORE COURT OF JOHN DOE Dope-Rnined Lawyer Trie to Plead III Own Case Old Fire Doe But Smolder. Fred Burt and F. L. ' Moose, tall cadaverous,, blear-eyed, hollow-cheeked, washed specimens, showed tho marks of dissipation when they slouched out of the bull pen In police court. They were charged with vagrancy. They are old offenders. The officer said he found them trying to buy laudanum at a drug store. Both pleaded not guilty as nnn chalantly as though It waa their first ap pearance on the charge. Moose was once a lawyer. He now began setting the legal machinery in motion. "Judge, I want my witnesses sub poenaed and they won't subpoena them not even when I want them subpoenaed," he complained. "Proceed," said the court. The officer testified. Then Moose began cross-examin ing. "Tour knowledge of my being In the drug store Is purely presumptlonary, ain't it?" he demanded. ' "No, I saw you," said the officer. "You saw me buying laudanum?" cried Moose, shaking a long finger aa near th officer a he could reach. . "Is -that all?" asked the court, coldly Mr. Moose said It was not all and Intimated that he had still several bombs to explodd of a legal nature. "From what direction did I come to the drug store?" demanded Moose. "O, I don't know what- direction you came from," aald the officer. "No, you don't know. You admit you don't know," ahouted Moose. "And yet you attempt to tell this court" While the case of Burt and Moose was In an Incipient stage of success the en thusiasm of the lawyer waa dampened by the' court uttvrlng the fateful words: "Thirty "days." Moose after these tremendoua though useless legal exertions spat copiously into the cuspidor and slouched out with a "what the use" air. James Raney might have claimed to be a full brother to the world-famous Happy Hooligan and his claim would not have been disputed by any sane person. He came from the bull pen In police court literally In rags. He wore no shirt at all and a rag waa tied around his thin neck. Red whiskers had grown upon hi face un checked for at least two weeks and hla bald head completed his resemblance to Happy Hooligan. Ha had been arrested In a drug store at Twenty-ninth and Farnam street. He was Intoxicated and refused to leave the store. When asked where his residence waa h had pronounced only the mystic words. "Front seat." The fate of his ubiquitous counterpart of the comlo supplement befell him and he will spend thirty days aa the guest of the county. John Snyder, clerk of a cheap lodging house at Thirteenth and Dodge streets, called Officer Maloney In Wednesday morning to arrest two men who were fighting In the lobby of the elite hostlery. One of the men made a dash for liberty. The offlcsr placed the other one In the chargs of Snyder while he pursued the fu gitive. No sooner had he gone than the prisoner "hauled off and atruck Bnyder a blow' In the face that caused him to yell for help. Officer Maloney heard him, abandoned the chase of the fugitive and arrived back -at the lodging house In time to prevent the escape of the man he had left lu Bnyder' charge.

PHONE BLUE BOOK A GUIDE Br "mall lVnmher It Indicate Some Old Families Officials Also Get Preferment. . "Who' what In Omaha." Is determined by the number of places In th telephone numbers, accord ng to an official of tho Nebraska Telephone company, who Is authority for the statement that the con tract department ha a long list of society people who are waiting for shorter tele phone numbers. 1 For instance: "Yellow 23" Indicate a residence of more than a quarter of a century In Omaha, box reserved for the horse show, wealthy and living In th best part of the city, sons and daughters born in Omaha. "Stephen 123" would indicate, not a pioneer, but a new family from the east, plenty of money, but no one knows where It was made; own home In good part of the city. "Noah 1123" residence In Omaha of more than ten years, made money cither In mer cantile lines of the city or on a ranch In the west, moving to Omaha to spend It and break In. Lives in rented home In good part of the city. Thus the "blue boolc" of the One Hundred Is placed In every home where there Is a telephone book and by referring to the In teresting work of Casper E. Yost, a line may be secured on the families of Omaha. The simple numbers of two numerala are preferred, aa they give a family un questioned standing. The oldest families in the city have them and there Is an air of respectability about them, as they are so far removed from the common place number of 'Kearrey 663," which la so hard to remember. ..... By far the greatest- number of applicants for the simple numbers want those of only two numerals. Is willing to pay a little more for them, but would accept a number of three places for a year or two, until the family can. "work up" to the last degree and get Into the A-preferred class of the telephone directory.' . Simple telephone numbers also indicate those having a public official In the family Mayor Dahlman has been assigned to "Harney 2600" and the telephone com pany has agreed to eliminate a cipher every term he Is elected to the mayor's office and to rub . out tho : "6" when he Is elected governor. The editor of a society paper has been given tho fractured looking wrecks of "Harney 1006" for li)s home number, over his strenuous protest, but he is to have a "6" cancelled every fifteen years by special agreement. When Rome Miller drew a number for his new hotel ho got "Douglas 2581," but Mr, Miller Is to have a -number cut oft every time he puts a competitor out of business, until he gets down to "25." The number at the police station Is "Douglas 175," while the coroner Is "Douglas 1228," and, the general hospital "Douglas 865," all of them very stylish number. , 1 .

Supplies of stockers and feeders were comparatively small and with a vlgnrous tlcmand from both yard traders and coun try buyers the market was active and strong to 10c higher for anything at aH useful In this line. The Inquiry, as usual, was best for the steers of good weight and quality and feeder buyers took quite a few of the warmed-up and the short fed cattle at better prices than the packers would pay. Light-weight stuff of good quality also found ready sale at strong figures, and although the volume of trad ing was small, the tone was strong through out.

In line with the stronger market east, local prlees showed an advance of fully Be all around and the trade was active from start to finish, the close belnK, If anything, rather firmer than the opening. There wa some Indication of a further narrowing down of the rangn of prices, al though heavy and butcher grades still commanded top figures, and all elapses of buyers discriminated sharply against the thin, light and under weight loads.

The- trade so far this week ha been practically steady on anything wanted at all. There was some Inquiry for feeder sheep and lumbs at current figures, although juft at this time tho demand Is not very liberal.
