SOUTH OMAHA CAR SERVICE
President Murphy Promises n Com
mittee to Improve the Present Ar
rangements without Delay.

People who live in the Third ward of
South Omaha will get practically all they
demand in the way of street car service for
their community. This was the answer
given by President Frank Murphy OF the
street car company to the committee Of
Third warders who called upon him yester-
day afternoon to discuss the conditions of
the present service.
Postmaster John Mcmillan and Council
man Wear were spokesmen for the party
They came to inquire about certain plans
which, it is rumored the company has in
project with regard to the new loop, and
to ask for the most effective service possible
President Murphy assured them that the
street railway company would do all in its
power TO provide efficient service and that
as soon as the exposition was over a large
number of additional cars would be put on
South Omaha lines. He said that plans for
putting in loop, or extending the / street
line, were not completed yet and it would be
impossible to give definite information on
that subject. President Murphy assured his
visitors that there was no cause to fear that
the service in their ward would be inefi-
cient and they returned home contented.

BURGLARS WORK OVERTIME
Ply Their Nefarious Trade While
Honest People Are Viewing
the Parade.

While honest people were viewing the
parade last night two burglars took several
liberties with residences in the north part
of town. The first house entered was that
of John Beard, 2S02 Franklin street, which
had been left without an occupant for sew
eral hours The robbers cut a screen from
the sash and climbed in through a window
which had been left open. They obtained a
heavy overcoat, a suit of clothes and other
articles of clothing, beside $3.50 in cash,
a breast pin, a knife and other trinkets.
When they had completed the search the
burglars spread lunch on the kitchen table
and proceeded to refresh themselves. The
setting of the table ware revealed the fact
that they were two in number and the man
ner in which jelly and other eatables were
distributed over the surrounding surfaces
indicated that they were not used to the
usages OF good society.
One door west of Mr.. Boards house Is
the residence of Henry Heitfeld, jailer at
the Central station. Burglars attempted an
entrance. but were frightened away.
The residence of Charles Schroeder, 1922
north Twenty-seventh street, was entered
during the night and lot of jewelry taken.

PAUL CROSBY DIES AT MANILA
Seventeen-Year-OId Soldier from
Omaha Succumbs to Disease in
the Philippines.

George II. Crosby of this city, general
freight agent of the B. & NJ railroad, yes

nouncing the death of his only son, Paul

The deceased was about II years of age
and had enlisted in the service of the
United States army with a regiment of
volunteers from the state of Minnesota.
He was in attendance at Shattuck Military
academy, Faribault, Mimi, and when a regi-
ment was organized there he with a number
of other school boys entered the regiment.
He had been in Manila about eight weeks
having sailed from San Francisco on one
OF the latest expeditions. The regiment was
fore 1t sailed and when it departed the
health of young Crosby was said to be
good.
The ailment that caused his death is not
known, as the cablegram merely announced
the sad event. 1t Is also unknown yet
whether or not the body can be brought
home for interment. Mr.. Crosby was en-
deavoring last night to secure telegraphic
communication with the military authorities
at Manila to obtain further information. Mr..
and Mrs. Crosby were nearly prostrated by
the sad news. Paul was the only son and
had the making of a successful man. He
was particularly anxious to serve in the
army and last spring went down to Tampa
to enlist, but his father brought him back
from there Before going to Shattuck mill

SEES HIS FIRST POSTOFFICE
Postmaster General Smith Pays
Omaha Very High Compile
ment on Its Building.

Postmaster General Smith visited the
new postoffice building yesterday afternoon
and made a tour through the working
rooms. The employees dropped their work
when his presence became known and
gathered together in the mail room in their
shirt sleeves and wearing their aprons. In
lieu of a formal reception Postmaster Mar
tin introduced Mr.. Smith to the force and
the head Of the great department made
short address. After some complimentary
felicitations upon the occasion the post
master general said:
Strange as 1t may seem to you, after
becoming postmaster general travelled 1900
miles to visit my first postoffice, with one
right in the capital city. During my serv-
ice in my present official capacity 1t re-
mained for me to make my first visit to a
postoffice after I came to Omaha when
entered your beautiful building here. And
when see how we'll II is situated, how we'll
appointed and how well managed, 4 am
pleased that this should be the first one for
me to inspect.
1.-THE postal service is one OF the greatest
departments OF this country. 1t has to this
time kept pace with the advance in the
times and has moved forward rapidly. That
its service has been so efficient is due to
the intelligent and faithful service OF the
employees who carry out the plans mapped
out by those in authority. The success of
any great enterprise depends upon those
who are directly entrusted with carrying
out the details Of the work. When l look
into the faces before me l think l see a
determination on your part to do your duty
toward keeping up the good name of this
important branch Of the government serv.
ice."
Mr.. Smith was applauded by the employees
when he concluded his remarks, but he had
to hurry away without personally meeting
any of them, as he had to take an early
train for Kansas, where he will make a
couple of campaign addresses. In his visit
to the postofiice he was accompanied by his
private secretary, Mr.. Dawson, and was
shown through the building by Postmaster
Martin and his assistant. Mr.. Woodard.

The city keeps the road in fair condition
as far as the limits on the west, but beyond
that point the county is supposed to look
after the highways. Farmers and othrs who
are compelled to use this route say that by
a very little grading the road could be placed

that the city council request the county
commissioners to order the road placed in
a passable condition. 1t is asserted that if
the Improvements requested are made that

City Engineer Beal has been instructed by
resolution OF the council TO inspect the paw
ing on Twenty fourth street with view to
ascertaining whether it was laid in ac-
cordance with the plans and specifications.
The pavement on the west side of Twenty
fourth street between and j strets has
never been satisfactory and this is what Is
meant by the resolution. 1t is asserted
that this stretch of pavement was not laid
properly and for that reason III Is deemed
advisable at this time to have the engineers
report on the matter. On the east side OF
the street the pavement stands the wear re-
markably well, but on the west side the
asphalt breaks and crumbles, which goes to
show that the mixture used was not up TO
standard. Councilman Barrett, who intro
duced the resolution, says that he did so in
the interest Of the city. The guaranty given
by the paving company has expired and the
repairs to be made next week will be the
last which the paving company will make
free Of charge under the guaranty. At the
present time the city holds $4,000 in bonds
deposited by the paving company for the re-
| pairs to be made and this amount will not
| be released until the street is again placed
| in good condition. This, however, is not all.
Barrett asserts that the pavement on the
west side was not properly laid and he hopes
| to induce the contractors to extend the
guaranty on the portion of the work for an
| other five years. If this can be done 1t will
| prove to be a great saving TO the property
| owners, for the pavement is wearing out
rapidly and will soon have to be replaced.
| 1t is not thought that the present pavement,
even after the repairs to be made, will last
more than a year or two, so that if por-
| tlon can be guaranteed beyond the limit in
