Mr. n A. Carmean has decided to go
ahead with his beautiful new residence
ard has told Architect Croker to hurry
up and get bids in about the 9th Of
April. This residence is to be erected
on West Main, between Sixth and Sew
enth atrets and will be the most impos,-
ing residence in the city. 1t will stand
on the next lot west of Mr.. Carney new
home, whichis still incomplete. but all
ready shows such beautiful proportions.
When these two houses are built and
finished this block will have the t,yo
handsomest houses on West Main. Mr.
Carmean'ss residence is so different from
anything yet erected in the city that
its erection will be watched with inter
est. Another beautiful home is to be
erected on North First street for Mr.
Roy Meeker This will be a composite
house The first story will be of niger
head stones and brick and the second
story frame. Bids for this house will
be in on the 1st Of March. For quaint
ness this house viii Guido anything in
the city. Mr.. r.. HI. BARNARD has let
the contract for two pretty seven room
residences for rent. They will be situat-
ed on West STATE street east of his rome.
They are not the dry goods box style,
but simple architectural designs Mr..
Croker has made the plans for all OF
these houses and they will represent
different styles OF architecture. When
1t comes to original designs Mr.. Croker
has done more for Marst,alltown than
has ever been done before. A handsome
new residence for Mr.. Thompson, of
Omaha, to cost $1,000, and also one for
Mr. III. r. Kibbee of Mitchell, s. d. to
cost $4,000, and a church for San Fran
cisco. Cal, are among the new jobs Mr..
Croker is getting out, besides several
others to come on later.

energetic methods that had characterized all his
work-the same uncompromising honesty that is
the most prominent note in his character-when
applied to police affairs soon brought the adj
ministration of the department to high degree
of efficiency.
In the period between Mr.. Roosevelt's election
to the legislature and his appointment as Civil
Service Commissioner he had spent most of his
summers in the West on a ranch, and had writ
ten several books the life of the Western
plains and mountains. Some surprise ex-
pressed, therefore, by friend when Mr.. Roose-
Welt became Police Commissioner that literary
man should volunteer for police work. and Mr..
Roosevelt gave this reason: II thought the
storm centre in New-York, and 1 came
here. 1t is a great piece of practical work. 1
like TO take hold of work that has been done by
a Tammany leader and do it WELL only by
approaching it from the opposite direction. A
thing that attracted to 1t was that 1t was to
be done in the hurry burly, for / don't like
cloister life"
His enforcement of the excise law produced
abundance of hurly-burly. Many said 1t was
the most potent factor in the overthrow of the
Strong reform administration at the next cleo
ton and the return of Tammany to power; but
Roosevelt answered all criticism by asserting
that he had sworn to enforce all the laws and
would not stultify himself Moreover, he main
tanned that the best way to obtain the repeal of
an obnoxious law by enforcing it rigidly.
and not by ignoring IL.
His unheralded personal tours of inspection
about the city by night caught many a police
man mapping. and resulted in many humorous
situations. until the force had thoroughly as
simulated the idea that their president was not
a man to be trifed with.
Jacob a Riis, author of How the Other Half

fearlessness in that office Mr.. Riis afterward

Private VIII T. Planners, OF the Rough Riders,
wrote home to Kansas as follows:
When to make the final charge that

it, and did die, either. 1 tell you, Wood and
Roosevelt are proud OF their regiment. Our boys

From the presidency of the New-York police
force he was called by President Mckinley to be
Assistant Secretary of the Navy in April. 1897
There again his energy and quick mastery of de-
tail contributed much to the successful admin
istration of the department and the preparation
of the navy for the most brilliant feats in naval
warfare in the history of the world.
From the very first he foresaw it is said the
possibility of a conflict with Spain, and he set
about preparing his department for IT. He
pushed repairs on the ships, worked earnestly
for the Navy Personnel bill and visited the
various naval reserves throughout the country
He left nothing undone that would in his opin-
/ ion the highest efficiency in the service
when the time for action came 1t is said that
he ii was who first realized the tremendous OPP
portunity that the would open in the East,
and who had Dewey, in whom he recognized the
right man for the place appointed to command
the Eastern Squadron. Many naval experts
agree that the remarkable skill in marksman-
ship displayed by the American gunners was
due to his foresight. He saw the necessity of
practice and he thought it the best kind of
economy to burn up ammunition in acquiring
skill.
A characteristic story is told regarding Roose-
velt's insstence practice in the navy.
Shortly after his appointment he asked for an
appropriation of $4,000 for ammunition.
The appropriation made. and few months
later he asked for another appropriation of
900 for the same purpose. When asked what
had become of the first appropriation he replied:
Every cent of II spent for powder and
shot and every bit of powder and shot has been
fired" When he was asked what he was going
TO do with the S500.0Oo he replied: Use every
dollar of that, too, within the next thirty days
in practice shooting" When the Maine was
blown up Roosevelt had no doubt. it is said.

OF Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude toward strikers
Mr. Riis has written:
had watched police administration in Mulberry
Street for nearly twenty years. and had
many sparring matches between workngmen and
the Police Board. Generally there bad faith
on one side; not infrequently both. 1t was
human that some of the labor should misin-
terpret Mr. ROosevelts motives when. president
OF the board, he sent word that he wanted to meet
them and talk strike troubles with them.

A FEW FACTS.
About the New Catarrh Cure.

The new Catarrh cure Is q new de-
parture in so-called catarrh cures be-
cause IT actually cures, and Is not
simply a temporary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure is not salve.
ointment powder nor liquid, but a
pleasant tasting tablet containing the
best specifics for catarrh In q concen-
trated, convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and
ointments are greasy, dirty and incon-
venient at the best; the new prepara-
ton being in tablet form is always
clean and convenient.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior to
Catarrh powders because IL is no.
torious fact that many catarrh pow
ders contain cocaine.
The new Catarri Cure is called
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, wholesome
combination of blood root, beachwood
tar. guaiacol and other antiseptics.
and cures by it's action upon the blood
and mucous membrane. the only ra-
tonal treatment for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon your
imagination to discover whether YOU
are getting benefit from Stuart's ca
tarrh Tablets: improvements and re-
lief are apparent from the first tablet
taken.
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but % cents for full
sized packages. and any catarrh suf
ferer who has wasted time and money
on sprays. aalvcs and powders. will
appreciate to the full the merit OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
