Friends Detain Him in n Cell Mt the
City Jail.
Robert d. Duncan, eX-councilman and ex-
city plumbing inspector, is confined in a
detention cell at the police station on a
charge of insanity. Duncan was taken to
the station at 1870 yesterday morning.
Shortly before that hour he left his resi-
dence, 1928 Davenport street, in his night
clothing and wandered about the streets. He
was picked up by a policeman in the vicinity
of Twenty-fifth and Davenport streets. Dun
cans wife was afraid to have him at the
house in his mental condition, and he was
therefore removed to the police station.
Duncan has been i'll for some years. Dur
ing a greater part of the latter time he has
been confined to his bed. Laterly he
developed alarming symptoms of dementia.
John Swestka visited the police station
yesterday morning and told the desk
officers that his physician was giving him
poison instead of medicine. Further con-
versation with the man developed the fact
that he was mentally unbalanced. He was
therefore locked up. Yesterday his
friends came after him and he was turned
over to them. Swestka lives at 1927 South
Nineteenth street and has been ill for some
time. He worked in one Of the packing
houses in South Omaha.

will 60 for furniture. This furniture is for
that portion of the building aside of the

yides for the furnishing of the pcstoffiee.
The money which has just been made avail
able, with that already available, will COM
plete the building, according to the plans
and specifications.
Superintendent Latenser Of the new post
Office building went to Sioux City last even
ing to make the final examination Of the new
government building there. The work is
completed, and the supervising architects Of
flee sends Mr.. Latenser to see ii the structure
is ready to be accepted by the government.
Upon his report the department will act.
Contractor Jobst had more trouble with his
workmen on the new postofice- building yes
terday. He mad some nonunion painters en-
ployed, and the other workmen threatened to
strike unless they were let out and union men
substituted. Mr.. Jobst complied with the re-
quest and all union men are now employed.

The executive committee of the Women's
Board of Managers will meet this morn
ing to consider a number of matters. Promi-
hent among these will be a scheme for the
erection of a children's building on the ex-
position grounds, The committee has viz
tually determined that a children's building
shall be one of the attractions of the ex-
position, and a scheme Is under considera-
tion whereby the children are to be inter-
ested In the plan, and the building is to be
erected by them. The committee is not
ready to divulge the details of this plan
until 1t has been fully determined upon.
The list of premiums which are to be Of
fered to those children entering the special
competition to be held under the direction
OF the women's board before the exposition
opens Is another matter which will engage
the attention of the executive committee to-
morrow. In this connection, a number of
good suggestions regarding the premiums to
be offered have been received by the COM
mittee from some Of the most prominent
educators in the country. State and county
officers in all sections of the transmissis-
sippi region have already signifed to the
committee their readiness to cooperate in
the matter Of circulating the circulars and
premium list announcing the special prize
competition, and membe.s of the committee
believe that the plan will be a complete
success.

She is fond of simple aliases and direct meth
DDS. She has operated in New York and In

She has occupied a conspicuous place on the

her real condition and needs that have been
received by the society from those among
whom she has operated would fill a barrel.
The activity of these correspondents shows a
still greater activity on the part OF Anna
Myers" She is skilled In letter writing,
welding the pen of a ready writer. The pen
is mightier than a personal appeal with Anna,
because her face is well known.

Some OF the pleas OF these 200 or more

FUNDS FOR THE EXPOSITION
Presidents Signing the sundry Civil Bill
Makes Appropriation Sure.
PROMOTERS or THE SHOW IN GOOD SPIRITS
Government Appropriation Insures
. the Construction of n Fine Build
in~E-Locntion of the uiinois
Structure IL Discussed.

! The enactment OF the eundry civil bill,
carrying with II the actual appropriation OF
5000, 900 for a government building and ex-
hibit, and the appropriation by the legislature
of Illinois Of S45, 900 for an Illinois exhibit
and building, put the exposition authorities
In high feather this morning.
While the passing Of the bill making the
appropriation for a government exhibit has
never been In doubt, yet the fact that the
appropriation was not available has added an
element Of uncertainty to arrangements re-
gardlng the government building. Now that
this uncertainty has been removed, active
work may be commenced by the government
architects toward getting ready with their
plans, etc.
In reply to a question as to whether the
delay on the part OF the federal authorities
would be likely to interfere with having the
government building ready on time, Mr..
Kimball, one OF the architects-in-chief said
this would not make any material difference.
1.-THE government building at Nashville"
said Mr.. Kimball, was finished in six weeks
from the time the foundation was laid.
People have no idea OF the rapidity with
which these staff covered buildings can be
erected. The Nashville building did not cost
as much money as our government building
will cost and Is not so elaborate as the
building we hope to have on our grounds,
but there will be little difference in the
amount of constructive work on the two
buildings, and the work may be hurried al
most without limit"
1--WE will put the Illinois state building
on the bluff tract said Architect Kimball
this morning while speaking of the ap-
preparation made by the Illinois authorities
for representation at the Transmississippi
Exposition. The bluff tract is that por-
tion OF the exposition grounds lying east of
Sherman avenue and is about sixty acres in
extent. From every portion OF this tract a
view may be had Of the Missouri valley for
miles up and down the river, while the
tract itself is almost as level as a floor.
II believe this tract Is the most slightly
location that could be selected for state
buildings" continued Mr.. Kimball. "a part
of this ground is to be beautifully parked
and I believe the surroundings of the state
buildings will be such that this section of
the grounds will be one of the most popular
places of the entire exposition. This tract
will also be a fine location for the buildings
which are to be erected by the various
secret societies..

ASKS THAT CLARK BE SUPPRESSED
Mrs. Ish Asserts that He is P~ersecut-
ing Her.

ing her.
S. B. Clark, generally called "Blondy,"
is in trouble again. Mrs. M. M. Ish is the
complainant and she secured an order from
Judge Scott yesterday afternoon restraining
Justice Wilde of Clontarf precinct and JUS
tice Brandes of this city from bringing
or hearing suits against her which are
brought by Clark, or by any person acting
for him., and restraining Clark from COM
any more suits against her.
According to the petition filed in the case
by Mrs. 1sh, 1t appears that the trouble
started when Mrs. Ish commenced proceed
ings in the county court to GUST Clark
from a room occupied by him in a building
on South Fourteenth street which is owned
by Mrs. Ish. Judgment was entered In favor
of Mrs. Ish and Clark was elected. Shortly
afterward Clark made a claim for IS which
he ALLEGED was due him from Mrs. Ish for
the use of another room In the same build
ing which she was occupying and for which
Clark claimed to hold a lease. Mrs. Ish re-
fused to pay this bill, claiming that. Clark
had never had a lease for the room and
had no claim upon it. Mrs. Ish alleges that
Clark then commenced suit against her for
the rent for April before Justice Wilde OF
Clontarf precinct and obtained judgment.
The case was appealed and is now pending
in the district court.
1t is alleged that a similar suit for the
May rent of the room was later brought
before Wilde and has not yet been tried.
Later suit for the June rent was com
menced before Justice Brandes and Is still
pending.
Mrs. Ish alleges that these suits are sim
ply brought to annoy her and that Clark
has boosted that he would make her wear
out more shoe leather than the bills
amounted to. She charges that these JUS
tices have no jurisdiction in the matter
but that the case comes under the jurisdic-
ton of the municipal court,
The case is set for hearing before Judge
Scott on June IA at 2 o'clock.

PAVING SPECIFICATIONS.

CHANGE PAVING SPECIFICATIONS.
Board of Public Works Transacts
Some business.
The Board of Public Works spent an hour
yesterday afternoon in examining the new
paving specifications which were submitted
by City Engineer Rosewater. The specifca-
tions will not be ready in a completed form
until Monday, but the general matter to be
included was outlined and discussed. There
are no radical changes from the old specif-
cations, but the classification Of pavements
Is somewhat broader in order to meet the
different conditions on the various streets.
The bidders on paving contracts are required
to supply more complete rela-
tive to the material they propose to use than
has previously been required.
The contract of ]. o. Corby for the Capt.
tol avenue sewer was approved.
There was an informal discussion of the
complaint of the wheelmen on account of the
numerous holes in the asphalt streets, and
as soon as the matter can be reached the
contractors will be required to make the
necessary repairs. Comptroller Westberg
also suggested the necessity of grading ap-
proaches to some of the crosswalks in the
north part of the city which had been left
from six inches to a foot above the grade
OF the street. In many cases they were so
high as to make the street almost impossible
for vehicles. This matter will also be taken
up by the board and the superintendent of
the street department will be directed to
haul enough dirt to make approaches on each
side Of the most elevated crosswalks.
1t is now expected that the South Six
teenth street r~epaving will be begun early
next week. The Omaha Street Railway com
pany has already purchased its material and
will be ready to go ahead as soon as the con-
tractor. The new tracks on that street will
be much heavier and more solid than any
now laid in the city. The present tracks
were originally designed for lighter trains
than are now used. Sixty-foot rails will
also be used, instead of the thirty-foot rails
now on the street, and the bearings will be
doubled. The result will be a track that will
bear the heaviest traffic without any notice.
ablo jolting and will fully meet the require
ments Of the municipal authorities.
