MRS. KELLEY GETS SMALL DAMAGES.
Sues City for 100000 and is Awarded
SIp1.

Sues city for $4,000 and is Awarded
800.
The case Of Mrs. Martha Kelley against
the city for $40, 900 damages for injuries al
legged to have been received while walking
along a defective sidewalk at Fifty first
street and Poppleton avenue in February,
1896, resulted in a verdict against the city
for 500.
The case had been on trial before Judge
Powell for the past two days, the jury retir-
ing Friday night. The case attracted
considerable attention on account of
the belligerent manner of the plain
tiff while on the witness stand.
When she was cross-examined by the
city attorney she insisted on having an argu-
ment with him. and was inclined to be OBJ
streperous to such an extent that it was
difficult to secure answers to the questions
put to her by Mr.. Cornell. She admitted
however, that when the accident occurred
she was walking along the street with an
other woman, and was so busy talking that
she did not look where she was going. This
admission was made use Of by Mr.. Connell
in his argument as evidence of contributory
negligence. The verdict throws the costs
upon Ms. Kelley, and these will amount
to more than the award.

IMPROVE CHOIR ACCOMMODATIONS
Repafrs for the Gallery and Organ at
First Methodist Church.


The most important concert of the season
VIII doubtless be that announced for the last
day OF this month at the First Methodist
church. when funds will be raised to defray
the expenses OF rebuilding the choir gallery
and extending the organ OF the church.
The choir OF this church has won for itself
a reputation which Is not confined to Omaha.
and the fact that the members have sung
together for some years, although very much
crowded for room, has appealed to the OFF,
cial members of the church, who decided re-
Gently to make such alterations as would in-
sure for the choir a greater degree OF comfort
and at the same time make 1t more agreeable
for those who attend the services and are
Obliged to take back seais upstairs or side
seats downstairs. From these positions In
the church II has been impossible to hear the
speaker and that will now be obviated. The
choir will now be further back from the au-
dience and the gallery will extend from side
TO side OF the church, thereby increasing the
musical effect.
The organ will be formally reopened by a
concert and the choir gallery rededicated by
Rev. John MeQuoid on the evening OF May
81. The admission fee will be small. so that
the church may be crowded Mr.. Kelly will
be assisted by Mrs. Cotton. Mr.. Homer Moore.

HANDIwoRK OF THE CHILDREN
Specimens of Drawing Placed on En-
hibitlOn nt CITY Hull.

Specimens of Drawing Placed on EN-
hibition Mt City Hall.
The pupils of the Omaha public schools,
under the supervision of Miss Alice Hitte,
supervisor of drawing. will give another ex-
hibit in the large room on the fifth floor of
the city hall next week. The exhibition will
be open Wednesday morning and continue the
remainder of the week, This is the exhibit
which was prepared by the pupils for ex-
hibition at the meeting of the Western Art
Association at st, Louis last month and as
many Omaha people have expressed a desire
to see 1t, 1t has been decided to give the local
reproduction for their benefit. The ex-
hibit will be open to all who care
to attend. The school children of the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades will
be given free access, but the pupils
in the lower grades must be accom-
panied by their parents. This rule has been
found necessary In view of the trouble that
was occasioned at the last exhibition by the
troops OF small children who invaded the
city hall, apparently for no other purpose
than TO block the corridors and ride up and
down In the elevators.

BURGLARS RAIDED THE DEPOT.

Clean Out the burlington station at
Sterling, This State.
The Burlington's passenger station and
freight depot at Sterling. Neb,, were entered
by burglars Friday night. TIL cash drawer
and the ticket cases were broken into and
some small change and a bundle OF tickets
secured. There was considerable merchan-
disc stored in the depot, and all that was
OF any considerable value was carried Of.
All the express packages and the freight
bundles In the place were opened. and the
contents that the thieves did not care about
taking were scattered about the room. II Ia
not thought that the loss will be great, as
there was but little Of value In the station.
The detectives OF the company and the
authorities of Sterling are working on the
case, and are now on a clue which they think
will succeed In landing the guilty parties
back OF the bars within the next forty-eight

Her First Acauaintance.

A newly engaged clerk in the employ
of the Standard Oil Company at Pitts
burg. was sent to work in a room that
contained a health lift, says the Pitts
burg Chronicle Telegraph" Every
morning at about 10 O'Clock when this
clerk was particularly busy with fig
ures a small black mustached man,
quiet and dfffident in manner, entered,
said Good morning" walked on tip
toe to the corner and exercised for a
quarter of an hour. 1t became bore
to the clerk, who at last, one day, re-
marked, with considerable heat, to the
stranger:
How do you expect me to do my
work properly while you are fooling
with that blasted machine? I'm get
ting tired of it. Why don't you put 1t
where it won't worry a person to
death?"
4 am very sorry to annoy you, said
the stranger, flushing. L will have il
removed at once"
A porter tok il away within an hour.
A few days later the clerk was sent for
by Mr.. F'lagler, whom he found in earn
est conversation with the small black
mustached man. The latter smiled at
seeing him. gave Flagler some nstruc-
tions and left the room.
'Will you tell me who that gentleman
is ?" the young man asked, light be-
ginning to break upon him.
THAT was Mr. Rockefeller, was the
reply.
1t was the clerks first acquaintance
with the head of the great corporation
by which he was employed.
