AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Paving Contractors Get Busy Among
Taxpayers.
OFFICIAL TABLES SHOW COST
Wllfnl Willie Wolfe's Wanderlnst
While Wolngr Wild, Works
Way ward ' Wanderer's
Wlndup.
The activities of tho various contractors
for paving material have led some of them
to present to the residents of the city vari
ous propositions highly tempered by the
kind of materuil each company desires to
use. The complete tabulation of the bids
by the city engineer and the completion of
the total sheet showing exactly what each
bid will cost leaves no room for further
argument. Those contractors who wish to
show matters as they really are can get
the blue prints of the total sheet and show
the residents exactly what the cost of each
class of paving will be. i
The warlous paving materials show a
range of fully 60 per cent In cost. For
Instance, the cost of' paving Twentieth
street from N to S street. will be $23,500 If
paved with creosote Wood block, but the
cost. , If paved with Portland cement con
creto, will bo as low as $13,038. Vitrified
paving block is about the mean between
the above classes, with a cost of $21,620 for
a recommended class of curbing. Sheet
asphalt would cost about $23,461 with a
combined 'curb and gutter of Portland
cement. Asphaltio concrete Would cost
$22,375.
The property owners must consider the
kind of material to be used as well as the
cost. It Is' not unreasonable that they
should demand an explanation of the merits
of all classes of paving before signing peti
tions for any class. The petitions must all
be presented to the council within thirty-
days after the time the bids are approved.
Willie Wolfe Wanders A way.

to move to Omaha nor relinquish my busi
ness here. I am very proud of my busi
ness career here and have too many
friends and customers to pull up and
leave and I don't believe in destroying
the1 Old Nest Egg. I have, however, taken
full charge of the Melcher Drug Co.

attention from now. So I ask all my old

yours. C. A. MELCHER.

Rabbi Cohn Pays
Honor to Parker
High Tribute to Great American
Preacher is Voiced at Temple
Israel.
"Although Theodore Parker lies burled
In a distant clime, I predict that some day
his body will be brought to America," said
Rabbi Frederick Cohn at Temple Israel
last evening In speaking of the life and
work of Theodore Parker.
"August $4, 1310, will be the centenary of
the, . birth of Theodore Parker, who was
great and noble and a true prophet. If ever
there was one. He was born In Lexington,
"lire the first battle of th revolution
was fought. . He was self-educated and
wcrked his way through Harvard and grad
uated from the divinity school in U37. He
served as a minister for some time, when
he delivered hla famous lecture on "The
Transient and Permanent In Christianity"
at the ordinaJon of a Unitarian minister in
South Boston, a sermon somewhat similar
to that delivered by Prof. Foster of Chi
cago on tho functions of religion. He was
then denounced as a heretic and an Infidel,
and Unitarian ministers refused to ex
change pulpits with him. He was virtually
religiously ostracised.1
"In 1E45 certain gentlemen, and their
names should be written In gold, met and
passed the following resolutions: 'That Rev.
Theodore Parker shall have a chance to be
heard In Boston.' And heard he was, not
merely In Boston, but in all America for
the remaining fifteen years of his life.
"Sunday after Sunday thousands of all
classes of men, rich and poor, flocked to
hear him. lis was one of tho greatest
moral and political forces of the nation,
absolutely fearless and utterly sincere. He
loved his books above all else and was one
of the most erudite men America ever pro
duced. He was versed in biblical criticism
and even translated De Wette's famous
Introduction to the Old Testament.
"He took a lcadlnc part In the slavery
agltatloii when it was disturbing America
In the middle years of the last century. He
did as much If not more for the abolition
of slavery than did Abraham Lincoln. He
at slated ably In the wiping of that curse
from the American continent.
"Theodor Parker died on tho eve of the
emancipation and of the civil war, which
h had predicted and welcomed, knowing
that emancipation could be brought about
In no other way, knowing that slavery and
fnedom were irreconcilable. He helped
Lincoln with tha arguments against slavery.
"He detested all lies, even holy lies, and
he believed In the authority of truth and
no the truth of authority. He made an
important distinction between religion and
theology. He was a man. who tor all his
rugged strength of character, had the heart
of a woman. In 1353 his health broke, and
although he traveled to restore It, his
search was In vain, and he died In Flor
ence. Italy, In 1S60. His tombstone has the
Inscription, "Theodore Parker, the CJreat
American Preacher."

DISAGREEMENT ON BENDEENAGEL
Fallare to Convict Cashier Is Dis
tinct Disappointment to Offi
cers of the Govern
ment. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The Jury Friday
found guilty five of the six employes of
the American Sugar Refining company, who
have been on trial for the last three weeks,
charged with criminal conspiracy to de
fraud the government of customs dues on
Imported raw sugar. In the case of James
F. Bendernagel, a former cashier of the
company's Williamsburg plant, the Jury
disagreed. Merey Is recommended for all
those found guilty.
The Jury was out ten hours. Under the
Irdlctment Oliver Spltior, a dock superin
tendent; John R. Coyle, Thomas Kehoe,
Edward A. Boyle and Patrick J. Hennessey,
checkers; may be punished for the commis
sion of two overt acts, the maximum pen
alty for each of which Is two years' Im
prisonment and $5,000 fine.
The failure to convict Cashier Bender
nagel Is regarded by the government as a
dIHIntt disappointment. The effort of the
prosecution has been to trace the customs
frauds already admitted to a higher source
and Bendernagel, though not an executive
officer of the company, was an employe
who came In contact with those who shaped
the company's affairs In their larger
aspects.
Four WymorMch
Held Up in Night
, . . .
Officers Take Suspect in Charge, but
. . He Escapes in Spite of Bullets
that Follow.
WTMORE, Neb., Dee. 18. (Special Tele
gram.) After four holdups In Wymore Fri
day night, the capture of a man suspected
of the work was effected. He made his es
cape, however, while an officer was taking
him to Jail.
At 6:30 tonight, as Pete Krusttfek, a
butcher employed by Tony Hirmon, was
going through, the business part of town,
he was stopped by a stranger, who de
manded money and called him vile names,
Krusttfek hit the fellow, and In the fight
had his forefinger nearly bitten off. The
fellow escaped.
T. O'Hara, Burlington auditor, was held
up and robbed of $4 by a masked man In
the auditor's office on the ground floor of
the depot shortly afterward. O'Hara was
working at a desk with one shaded light
burning when the door opened. Turning,
he was confronted with a revolver In the
hands of a man with a handkerchief tied
over the lower part of his face. There
were many people about the depot at the
time. , -
Mike Aronea,. a machinist employed days
by -the Burlington, was getting coal at the
chutes about 7 o'clock when he was held
up by two masked men. One held a ie
volver In Aronea's face, while the other
went through his clothes, getting 35 cents.
Aronea returned to his bunk car a short
distance from the roundhouse, and hearing
a commotion In the car next to his, went In
and found the occupant, a foreign section
man. In a dazed condition. He said that
two men had come In his car and com
manded him to hold up his hands, pointing
a revolver at him. He refused to obey the
order and commenced to yell, when he was
hid on the head with the butt end of the
gun, the fellow running.
At 8:45 Officer Schlangen arrested Ed or
"Bish" Polak, an old offender, who has
served time in the county Jail and In the
penitentiary, and who answers the rescrlp.
tlons of the holdup man given by O'Hara
and Aronea. Polak was In a pool hall, and
at the door broke from the officer and ran.
Three revolver shots were fired at him
and It Is thought one took effect In the
arm. Polak turned Into an alley and has
not been found.

Investigation of the rear-end collision be
tween the New York Central limited and
passenger No. 10 at Northeast, Pa., near

The verdict says the causo ot the col

Burger contributed In failing to bring his
train to a stop before passing a signal.
