WAS by Hotchkiss & Wheeler, who sold 170
acres lying northwest of Carey park and
joining it for $4,000. The farm belonged
TO the heirs OF Isasc Coley. An eastern
company bought it. For reasons the pur-
chsses do not want further particulars pub

did not empty the combination purse and
it will be likely to be heard from sgain very
shortly. They propose to make 'Rome

THIEVES ON DECK.

"The thieves seem 10 be holding q good
fist now," said gentleman yesterday who
had one hand on his pocket-book and the
other on his gold watch and wore an effus-
ion that indicated that he had almost come
to the conclusion that he would look on all
with an eye of suspicion.
"Well what are We going to do about it, -
said his nearest neighbor, who from his sp-
pearance was evidently little uneasy about
the matter himself
"There ought to be something done about
it and that very soon," said the
first gentleman in reply. 1t has become
evident from the latest reports that there is
an organized gang in the city that makes q
haul whenever their beer money runs out.
This thing is getting monotonous, especially
to those who are made the victims. If this
thing continues much longer, some action
should be taken by the city to ferret out
these scoundrels at any expense. 1t can be
done, and We all know the plan that will
work, and although it cost, it should be fol-
lowed. In fact no one doubts who are
the thieves that lurk around the
city. II is q very easy
matter to know it, but of course to catch
them and prove it is another question alto
gether. If they continue to shove them
selves to the front think we can run them
out Of the town in very old fashioned
way"
This gentleman who took the lead in the
conversation seemed to be very much inter-
ested in the question, and his opinions were
listened to with interest by all present.

TIE STREET CAR BRIDGE.

The building of q street car bridge over
the Great Arkansas has been discussed time
and again, but nothing yet has been defn-
itely settled in regard to it. After the COM
pany had failed to obtain the right of way
over the wagon bridge on the avenue, there
was talk Of building it across on Second
street and over to the fair ground, but as
that fair ground is not permanent fixture
that scheme wouldn't pay. A move was on
foot to build bridge over the river on some
street south Of the avenue, but nothing has
been heard of that lately. The street car
line is to be built out to the Catholic female
seminary and 10 the Garfield university this
year sometime, therefore bridge will soon
be necessary. The proper thing to do in
this connection is to build another bridge
alongside the present one on Douglas ave
nue.. This would be best for all parties and
would accommodate the greatest number.

THE CAREY HOTEL.

Terry & Dumont received the contract
yesterday for furnishing the plans and spec
ifcations for the hotel Capt. Carey is going
TO build at the corner of Douglas and
Fourth avenues.
The building will be 120xl00 and four
stories high with basement. 1t will con-
tain the largest Office and dining room Of
any hotel in the state. The entire building
will have one hundred rooms.
Captain Carey proposes to secure all the
modern Improvements and appliances and
viii spare no pains in making it in every
respect one of the best hotels in the state.
An elevator run by steam will be numbered
among the many conveniences. The build
ing will be heated by steam and commodi-
GUS bath rooms will be put on every floor.
1t is amusing TO watch the course of the
real estate boom. This week it boils in one
location and the next in another. Monday
it was on Mead avenue and now it is on
South Main and Kellogg streets. They are
people who would sit up all night to see
where certain parties buy and then they
would conclude that there depot would
surely be located. just let certain gentle
men begin buying lots in any part of town
and there the price would jump up 80 per
cent in one day. The result of the last two
days buying on South Main and Kellogg
streets, is that property is held fully so per
cent higher than it was last week.
