Shugart Building ' ' Plans Under Way to Improve Hi. Property Oppoiite Comer of Baylisi Park. A building enterprise of considerable pro portions waa begun yesterday when Con tractor Nels Jensen began the work of moving the big brick building on the Shugart property oppoalte the northwest corner of Baylies park from the front to the rear of the lot The twelve-room dwelling, which waa for generation the homestead of the late K I Shugart, will be turned around and car rled back to the alley lying between the property line and the poetofflce building, giving it an east. Instead of a south, front! Contractor Jensen estimate! that It will roqulre about a month to complete the work. When the ground Is cleared opera tions will be commenced upon the con struction of a modern apartment house of large dimensions. The property Is now ovned by Elmer Shugart and he Is putting into execution plans long since formed for highly Improving It.

ONLY TWENTY-FIVE DELINQUENT Operation of Plant fur Jane Will Be at Loss If latere! Charges Are Considered Coat f 3,000 Month. M. F. Cox, state municipal accountant, completed yesterday his work of checking over the books In the office of the water company to determine the amount to be returned by the company for the month of June collected after April 1 for the quarter ending July 1. After all deductions and allowances are made the expert finds that the city's new water works cash book should begin with fcJ, 696.91 to the good, Mr. Cox completed his work yesterday morning and left for Des Moines in the afternoon, after having ' been here little more than a week. The expectation was that he would be detained for several Weeks. The shortness of the period of his employment was due wholly to the remarkably clear and perfect system of keeping the water accounts In augurated by Manager Hart and carried out by the bookkeeper. Miss Bonham. In hla report Mr. Cox particularly speaks of this and says the system will be used by him as sample records. The statement furnished by Mr. Cox shows the total amount collected from consumers during the quarter to be as follows: Total amount flat rate collections... IS, 348. 32 Less, amount collected previously earned 829.09 Amount to be divided 18,019.23 Only Few Delinquents. There are only twenty-five delinquents who have failed to pay and the amounts aggregate only $71.60. The company under takes to guarantee these collections and to turn Into the city Its one-third, 123.83, The expert finds that there Is a refund on paid up Insurance of I2M.39. The amount of Insurance carried Is 148,000. After all of these deductions are made the amount of cash to be turned over to the city, which waa done yesterday, equal the sum men tioned above. No Rebates Foaad Dae. No rebate at all are found to be due from meter readings, and Is explained by Mr. Cox in hi report thus: The meter reading commenced seven daya before and ended seven days after June L These readings are for the May earnings. I find tha the large amounts, such as railroads, hospitals, schools, etc., were all read on June 1, leaving the realdence dis tricts nearly equally divided, so near that there will be practically no difference, as a part of the next reading for the city will date from May 23 and a part from June 8, while the large amounts will date from June 1. These readings belong to the water works company and are to be sold to the city upon a guarantee a to the col lection. All transfers from flat rate to the meter account mad during the quarter have been checked and found correct Since June 1 warrant have been drawn aggregating $ll!.t, numbered from 1 to , Inclusive. Collection on new privilege installed $7.60 refunds, tin water turned off $1.70. ' The new book will be debited and credited accordingly, , On account of the distance between the city treasurer' office and the water work department office, the system which is the most practical of collecting and receipting oannot be used, but a form of numbered carbon copy receipt will be adopted, which la considered the next best system to adopt. The form for the cash book, voucher record and ledger that waa used by the Council Bluffs Water company will be adopted by the city. These are among the best that I have found In the state and will be used by me a sample record. Each of the office force Is competent and with the improvement noted in the collec tion end of the business no criticism could be offered. The new book should start with a cash debit of $3,6114.91. First Montis at n Lose. The report Indicates that the operation of the plant for the month of June will be at a loss if the Interest charges are to be considered. The interest amount to $27,000 a year, or $J,250 a month, but the amount heretofore paid for fire hydrant rentals, which waa more than $J,000 under the old rate and above $17,000 under the $40 rate, must be deducted from thl. The cost of operating the plant will be about $3,000 a month. The meter readings for June must be added to the' net amount of $2,684.91, whloh will aggregate nearly a much as the flat rate for the month, as about one-third of the consumer are on meter service.

HAMILTON BUYS BUILDING Merchant Negotiates for Property Where lit I tore Is Located and Pays Good Sana. An Important real estate deal waa fin ished yesterday when George F. Hamilton bought the double building, 411 Broadway, where his shoe store I located, and the adjoining 414. forming part of ths store room of Joe W. Smith & Co. The transac tion waa Important on account of It mag nitude and for the additional reason that the property changes hand for the first time in more than fifty years. The property ha been In the Baldwin family since about 185. and the purchase waa made yesterday from Mr. Jane Bald win, widow of John Baldwin, uncle of John N. Baldwin, late general solicitor of the Union Paclflo railroad. The consideration is withheld for the prosent, but it 1 known to be above 3u.0u0. Mr. Hamilton haa occupied room 411 for the laat twelve year and has paid a stiff rental for It Although hi lease ha three years yet to run he haa recently become a This great sale will demonstrate the wonderful buying power of this remarkable specialty store, how our wonderful success became a fact, and is not a mere accident, as some of our competitors will put it. It has been the constant aim of this organization to create a large demand for high, class goods, so as to give us a great buying power, and in order to accomplish our aim we are one of the very few firms in this country that sell nothing but the finest apparel for Women and Misses, at extremely low margins of profit and by adhering strictly to this principle, we have built up a wonderful business, and when the opportunity came to us to buy a large' quantity of silks at extremely low prices, we bought the entire lot, turned it over to the largest garment manufacturer in this country, who made us a very low price, being, as it was, their quietest time of the year. The Entire Purchase Goes on Saie Saturday over 10,000 silk taf fetta and silk messaline petticoats in all plain and fancy colors and made up in various styles. $5.00 and $6.75 Values, at- I $7.50 and $8.75 Values, at- I $10 and $12.50 Values, at o o bit perturbed on account of ths number of Inquiries concerning the lease and the own ership of the property. Hi business has grown steadily, with the present year's re ceipts Indicating nearly double the volume of trade of a year ago. He decided that he did not wish to find himself in the sam predicament that some other merchants have suffered from being compelled to seek a new location for a heavy business that bad been centrally' located for a long period. The purchase of the property fol lowed at ths and of twenty-four hours' negotiation. Joe W. Smith ft Co. will not be In the least manner disturbed In the possession of the portion so long occupied by the firm, but will have a landlord anxious to add to the convenience and value of the building. Since coming to Council Bluff from Omaha more than a dozen year ago Mr. Hamilton has been a permanent booster. He has been among the first to corns forward and back any substantial public enterprise. He has contributed more than 11,000 to ths Auditorium and the National Horticultural congress, Is an active member of the Com mercial club and about every other helpful organisation In the city.

(f peclal.)Rela tlves have received word of the death of Mrs. John Powers of Tiskllwa, 111. Mrs. Powers Is quits well known here. Her death Is believed to have been caused from a fright occasioned about a year ago when the Powers family lived on a farm. One morning just as they were seated at ths breakfast table a burglar appeared and held up the entire family at the point of a revolver for nearly a whole day. He forced Mr. Powers to sign a check for a large sum of money and binding him hand and foot, forced the son to drive him to town. During the drive Mr. Powers man aged to break the bonds and went to the house of a neighbor, where he telephoned to the bank on which the check was drawn to slop payment.

While In Omaha yesterday Mrs. Fiske took time to visit with ths local officers of ths humans society and conferred with them on ths local conditions. Shs I first vloe president of the general International organisation and deeply Interested In the work. Last night shs ssnt to the editor of The Bee the following not: OMAHA, June I. To ths Editor ot The Omaha Bee: When we arrived In Des Moines last Monday the first thing ws saw was a large dairy wagon, to whloh was attached two fine-looking horses. , It was a hot day. The horses wore bonnets to protect their faithful heads from ths sun. That was good to see. There Is an old saving, "Treat a horse like a gentleman." Ths proprietor of this particular dairy has that Idea. He treats his horse like a gen tlemen. It was a great pleasure to hear of ths activities of the local society in Omaha. Organisations that Include the protection of animals are the most unpopular organ isation In the world. The Hon people rarely assist them. That Is to say, ths rich rarely give In proportion to their means. As a matter of fact, a half dozen rich persons, working In harmony, could all but abolish the more flagrant fact of c'ltelty la any city of this size. For the most part human organizations are sus tained and supported by noble souls who csnnot afford their gifts. A great man has said, "The government of man over his God-given domination Is a failure. It Is without Intelligence. It Is without justice. It Is without mercy. ' It Is not adminis tered In the Interests of the governed. And yet, with a few shining exceptions, the pul pit falls to cry aloud falls to lift up Its vclce like a trumpet to teach man bis duty to the helpless subjects of his rule." Cruelty Is the unpardonable sin. The aim of the humane association Is to lessen cruelty. Every Intelligent cltlsen of Omaha, or any other city, man or woman (If he stops to think), will agree that it Is his sacred duty to support the local hu mane society by becoming a member. Let us hope for a "Mercy Sunday" in the churohea and In the Sunday schools. Above all, let ua hope for humane educa tion In the publlo schools. Heart culture Is quits as Important as brain culture. Ths days will dawn on a fairer world, a world where there is far lens crime and misery, when our children are taught that "the greatest coward Is he who treats with cruelty any helpless living thing."

Seventy-five of ths alumni of Bellevu college sat down to their annual banquet board In the college commons 'Thursday with the fifteen new-made members of the asroclatlon, the class of 1911, as their guests. This event, followed by ths pres ident's reception at Rankin hall, marked the close of a brilliant commencement week, packed to ths brim with the vari ous class and school activities. Degrees were conferred In ths morning upon a class of fifteen graduatss. , Dr. J. M. Patton of Omaha was toast master. Of the class of '01, he has closely followed ths college in every branoh of Its activities since his graduation and ha been for several years a trustee. Ths address of the evening was given by th Rev. George R. Lunn, D. D., '7, pastor of a large church at Schenectady, N. T., and prominent In th Empire state as one of ths most progressive and radical men In ths clergy. His address was largely along personal lines, som of his remem brances ot "Old Elk Hill" as he knew It, but he closed with a stirring call for men of ths hour in every occupation. Bellevae Raisin; Money.. Dr. Btookey took occasion to maks clear some matters regarding the financial condi tion of the college. Two year's ago Belle vue college was 4O,0O0 In debt. This fact alone was sufficient to make It Impossible to secure endowment funds from the large eastern philanthropists, who as a rule con dition their donations that ths Institution first gst out of debt A movement was then set on foot to accomplish this object and has been strenuously carried on up to the present time. It had been hoped that the announcement of the clearing up of the debt could be made on commencement day, but this was Impossible. However, (30,000 of the debt has been pledged, besides a very substantial sum toward the pros pective endowment of 1100,000, and Dr. Stookey announced that with Uie co operation of the friends of the college a very few days will see the college free of debt and completely on Its feet. That accomplished, the speedy endowment of the college Is absolutely assured. The college board ot the Presbyterian church has granted Bellevue 5,000 toward the clearing up of the debt and (3,000 for the current ex penses of next year. Welcome to New Class. W. A. Kearns, '08, secretary of the Young Men's Christian association at Fre mont, extended the welcome to the new class and waa answered In well-chosen wcrds by W. Br Dysart of Sperlor. Dr. Charles Kimball Hoyt, who occupies the chair of literature In the college, de livered an address which treated ot Belle vue's future in glowing terms. Ths Wadsworth loving cup, presented each year to the class that registers the largest attendance In proportion to its number, was won this year by the class of '07, a representative of that class ac cepting It from the hands of last year's hoi dr a ths class of '01, with the cutomary ceremony. Bellevue alumni, tor a local In stitution and not a large one, are excep tionally widely scattered, and the cup Is on of the Incentives that brings a large number back to commencement every year. Last year, when Bellevue was at a finan cial crisis, 115,000 was raised by the alumni association at their banquet in flfweu min utes. Rev. George F. Williams of North Platte was honored by his alma mater, Bellevue .pri A 16th. St crllese, at ths morning commencement ex ercises the .degree of doctor of divinity being conferred upon him.
