The employees said they saw and the

COOKS IN CENTER OF STREET
House Torn Down While Cook Stove
Continues It's Business
Undisturbed.

The spectacle OF a woman presiding over
a red hot cookstove in the middle of Nicho-
las street. near Tenth. was one Of the d.
versions OF that section Of town yesterday
morning. At s o'clock the stove was In a
house, at Q it was without shelter, yet 1t
had not been moved In the meantime, a par
adox which is accounted for by the fact that
Street Commissioner Hummel's gang of
workmen had torn the house from around
the stove, leaving the latter standing on
It's brick props.
When the gang reported there for work
at SEQ Mrs. Sam Rolliston, tenant. OBJ
jected to the house being removed. as she
had a beef roast in the oven, she said, and
1t would be ruined. The men had their or
ders, however. They were to tear down
the house, since the thirty-day notice had
expired, and the house was still in the
street. So they compromised with the
woman, and as the stove rested on a dirt
floor, the matter was easily arranged. The
stovepipe. which had projected through the
roof. was supported by wire guys and the
stove steamed and sputtered merrily all
the morning In the rain.

by COune at a Special
Meeting.

The regular monthly appropriation ordi-
nance, setting aside money to liquidate
bills incurred by. the city during June and
prior thereto, was passed at a special meet
ing Of the council yesterday. It carries
an aggregate OF Sill 900. The original draft
included the $4,000 which was to have been
appropriated to apply on the payment Of
the fl house site at Eleventh and Howard
streets, but It was afterward stricken out.
As there we're only hVe counoilmen present
-zimman, Burnley, Lobeck, Trostler and

ordinance in order to pass 1t, and Zimman
said he would vote against It unless the
$4,000 clause was excluded.

will veto the ordinance. as he wanted the
$4,000 available for immediate payment on
the lot. The council hopes to be able 10

From the camp Of the South omaha

w. L. Holland has not been with his
troopers In camp since last Tuesday and
a rumor that political reasons are ascribed
for his remaining away. Some OF the men

mixing into the captains politics. He is
manager OF the Nebraska Telephone COM

DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE COST
Rising Condition of Material Market
Interferes with Building
Arrangements.

On account Of the high price Of building
material and its present upward tendency
architects have found themselves unable to
make estimates upon buildings which would
come approximately near the figures subse-
Quently submitted by contractors. The re-
suit Of this condition Is that plans for two
buildings which were to have been built
this spring have been sent back to the
architects for alteration to bring them
within the estimates.
The paper box factory, for which bids
were opened last week, is one OF the houses
which passed the estimate of the architect,
and on slightly revised plans bids will be
again opened Monday, the contract being
let piecemeal instead of complete. The
contemplated residence of Mrs. Benjamin
Gallagher Is another which is undergoing
a revision Of plans before bids are re-
quested again. In both Of these instances
the trouble is said to be with the material,
as there has been no change in labor rates
since the architects estimates were made,
1t is expected that at the reletting of the
paper box factory Monday there will be NO
more trouble and that work will be started
some time next week. The plans show a
four-story building, 55x1S2 feet. with a
boiler room 24xSO. The material used will
be brick and mill work and the estimated
cost is $32, 000. The owner is George Vein
hagen of Milwaukee and the architect J. p,
Guth. 1t will be located at Thirteenth and
Leavenworth streets.
Saturday Mr.. Guth took out a per
nit for the Storz Brewing company for the
erection Of a bottling house near the brew
cry. The material used will be brick, stone
and iron, the estimated cost being about
$40, 900. The contract has been let to Her
man Wiese and Newman & Johnson, the
former doing the brick work and founda
lions and the latter the carpenter work and
roofing. The house will be 51x150, two
stories high. The contract calls for its
completion in September. but owing to the
condition of the structural iron market Il

auctions in valuation as well as some in

Experience
Counts

Every one comedies that-otherwise w4ai would be
the advantage of experience, often gained at the price
of much labor, time and money.
Experience has taught us that it is better to close
out at the end of every season any and all odd lots that
may have accumulated rather than carry such odd lots
through the months when trade is inactive and finally
be compelled to reduce the prices anyhow.
We believe that if there are any articles that we are
very DESTROYS of selling it is better to CUT ONO and
CUT DEEP, thereby attaining our own end and at the
same time b~enefting our customers. With that
in view we have culled from our stock many items, a
few of which are described below. We wish to call
your attention to a number of couches that go on sale
tomorrow, one of which is particularly worthy of men
ton on account of its great value. 1t has a smooth
top (no tufting) straight edged oak frame, sanitary
open construction and is upholstered in new patterns
of velour. Our price on this couch 1--WE have a number
of them) is $500. This is merely an index to hundreds
of other articles that will be offered tomorrow in up
h~Olstered goods.
One lot of twenty-five bed room suits made of solid
oak-dresser has bevel French plate mirror-heavy
cast brass trimmings-highly polished. These remain

~bed springs for threequarter and single beds worth
$500, on sale at 81. 90-$25O sewing rockers 80 cents,

We also have left and offer for tomorrow a number
of the Specials we have been selling during the past
few months. Poets and authors pictures in gilt
frames SO cents-sewing trays "a cents-12-inch top

"a cents.
Many articles will be on sale tomorrow of which we
have only a few Of each and for that reason are not
listed here, but they can be found at this store and
represent values even ahead of those mentioned.
YOUR CREDIT is GOOD HERE. Just think of
buying such values as these and paying for them al
most as you like; can any other store do it? We have
peculiar advantages that enable us to do more for our
customers than is possible by any other Omaha house
in our line. Investigate the merits of this sale tomor-
row.

WILHELMINA AND HER HUSBAND.
Reports of Unhappy Relations Denied
by Holland Resident.

The Dutch are greatly tried with the re-
ports which have been circulating through
out the world for the last two years con-
corning the home life OF their queen. A
prominent grain importer Of Holland, who
is at present travelling in this country, said
10 a group Of American friends in New York
the other evening:
1T is libelous nonsense to say that VIII
helmina's marriage has been an unhappy
oen. II that were true we Hollanders would
be the hrst to make the accusation, for
surely we would not defend the Prussian
stranger at the expense Of our queen. The
marriage itself has never ceased to be a
love match.
II would like TO give a little incident OF
their domestic life which came to me d.
rectly from a chamberlain-in-honor to the
royal house. One day the king was search
ing through the chambers Of the palace for
Queen Wilhelmlna. He came TO the room
where the premier was patiently waiting
for an audience. The room was dark and
the king mistOok him for the object Of his
search and said: 'Finde ich dich hier. meir

Question of Smoke Abatement Passed
Up to the Clubs.
1t is wen to remind ourselves frequently,
says the Indianapolis News, that we have,
or ought to have, an unusual interest in
smoke. The mere money loss from I'M
burned smoke is something that ought to
be strong enough to equip every smoke
making plant in the city so that there would
be no smoke-a thing entirely practicable.
American Medicine quotes an experiment
made in Manchester, England. last Febru-
airy, In which, at q place three miles from
the center. a sample Of snow that had been
lying on the ground for ten days was melted
and the dry residue weighed and analysed.
II was found to be equivalent to something
over ten pounds to the acre and consisted
Of 4S.6 per cent carbon, SO per cent grease
and AS per cent ash. Another sample
taken very near the city showed about
three times the amount mentioned, or nearly
one ton Of SCOT to the square mile per day.
The grease mixed with the SCOT makes II
stick TO the buildings or to whatever else
1t falls on. In London the Smoke Abate-
ment society is making inquiry concerning
domestic CRATES. which promises TO yield
valuable results. In Chicago the Edison
company has appropriated $40, 900 to carry
out plans to abate smoke, because It recog-
niZes that Smoke is horse power going up
the chimney. We have repeatedly cited
other valuable instances Of work at Chicago,
by way Of contract with nothing being done
here.
To the point OF getting something done.

American women's clubs take up the sub
