THE MORSE DRY GOODS C(
cJoNAsEN DIAMOND ROBBERY.

Police Have no CIew to the Robbers-The
Loss Overestimated.
The police are very busy and very mys-
terious about the Jonasen icwelry robbery,
but no ono has been arrested and no one so
far is suspected.
The clock purchased by the robbers con-
federate is at the police station. 1t was
found in dry goods box in the rear Of the
store and In order TO conceal it there tue
man must have walked half way around the
block and up the alley to the rear of tn Q
store.
The gloominess OF the day ana the conse-
qdently deserted streets would make this
possible and the robbers would no doubt
get rid Of tho telltale bundle as soon as'pos-
sibe.
Ordinarily there is clerk In tho store
whose duties keep him at the front of the
store continually, but at the time of tho rob-
berry this man was upstairs and Mr.. Jonasen
himself was at the barber shop leaving only
| the Matchmaker in charge of the store.
An inventory of the stolen property re-
duces the loss TO $4,000, but this, coupled
with the previous losses, is a severe blow tc
| the business.

There is a possibility that the citizens of
this city will never see those North Omaha
bitches constructed in accordance with the
original ideas. as movement for a change
in the plans is now being contemplated by
the Board of Pubic Works.
The new plan is to 60 on with the Sprague
street ditch and put it down as at first
contemplated and then put IL sewer beneath.
IhiS plan the engineer and the mcmbers of
the board figure would turn all the sewerage
OF thenorth side into the north sewer and con-
vey 1t 10 the river at point this side of the
town of Florence. AT the present time II
comes through tho lizard street sewer, but
owing to the high land north of Lake street,
the flow is SO slow that tho mouth of the
lzard street sewer is frequently blocked
This change of plan will not be adopted Unit
the matter has been discussed by the council
and not until the contractors who are WORK
ing upon the ditch have agreed TO 1t.
