Further steps In tho construction of Omaha's new million dollar hotel will wait on negotiations that aro pending for a suitable tenant to tako tho lease, so that the plans and general stylo of architecture may bo made acceptable. This Is tho concensus of opinion arrived at at a meeting of the board of directors held at the office of G. W. Wattles, tlie president, to hear a report of progress from the snb-commlttee previously ap pointed to look Into this feature Of tlie project. "We have had a great many appli cants for the leases." said president WattleB, "but not all are going to be able to qualify. A man to get this lcaso must convince us that he Is a man ot sufficient experience to hundlo a hotel of this kind, and make It a success. We have, however, now a number of appli cants on our list who It seems will be able to qualify, and convince tho board that they 'can deliver the goods. "Wo did not want to put a million dol lars into a hotel here ncrore w.e had leased It. and then hav a man como along and tell us that If we had Just buUt It a little different, or arranged It a little different In this, that, or the other respect, ho would have given us so and so much for it. We want to build it right when we build It." The hotel will rent for approximately JC0.000' per year, as the directors aro fig uring on about 6 per cent on tho Invest ment. It as also reported that the deeds of the lots comprising the site hod been ex ecuted, giving clear title, and that the udjolnlug property would be held tem porarily subject to possible requirements of more ground for the hotel.

"There aro few of tho ranchers In tlie bnBln now that havo over 1,000 head of cnttle. The big outfits have sold out and tUo ranges hove been cut up largely. Thoro will never bo the cattle In Wyom ing again that we had years ago. I can notice a great difference In the number of cattle In that country since I wont theru some twelve years ago," Mr. Dougherty says It Is, of course, also noticeable that the grade of cattle has become better as the numbers de creased, because the smaller ranchers nnd farmers have stocked up with better breeds of cattle. Mr. Dougherty does not look for a diop In pricos, as tho supply is limited, and he docs not look for the west ever to produce the cattlo it once did. WORLD'S CHAMPION AT 18.1 BALK LINE BILLIARDS.

He got Into tho city late In the evening and rented a room at a rooming house, which, the land lady told him, was four blocks from Sixteenth and Leavenworth. "That's fine, thinks I," said File Garran. "But I goes out for a bite to eat and when I turns a few corners I loses my bearings. Now that's north. Isn't It?" he asked as ho Jerked his thumb In the direction of South Omaha. He was corrected on that point and soon look up his search for his room again. He said ho thought It would bo easy to find his way back to the rooming house bo he did not bother to take the number. When he found himself lost he remembered only that the landlady had told hlrrl his room would bo four blocks from Ulxteenth and Leavenworthi so he strolled to that point and carefully stepped off four blocks. Here he bogan to walk In a great circle, keeping four blocks from Sixteenth and Leavenworth and nt tho same time keeping his eye pealed for aii'thmg that would look llko the door he entered to rent the room. Tho cir cle took him down Into the railroad yards under the viaduct. Knowing for certain that he had not engaged a room there, he backed up and got a fresh Mart In the other direction.
