GREAT RUSH AT BENEFITS
Opening of the store After the Fire
Brings Out Tremendous
Crowd.

The reopenine of the Bennett store after
the fire yesterday morning drew forth an
unusual crowd of eager bargain hunters
who knew that the hrst at the counters
would be rewarded by some rare chances
at slightly damaged goods. At s:i5 in the
morning there were twenty-five people
early on hand and when the doors were
opened shortly after 9 o'clock. both Six
teenth and Harvey streets were well
crowded. The rush was so great that the
doors had 10 be closed after twenty min
utes 70 give the clerks a chance to wait
on the bargain hunters. The crowd con-
tinued all day lessening during the after
noon but picking up in the evening and
continuing until closing time at 10 O'clock
II was estimated by a member OF the Arm
last night that between 1900 and q .OO0
sales had been made, so that the 80 en-
ployes were tired enough when closing I'M
came. 1t Is the intention TO continue the
sale until the stock is cleaned up which
may take two weeks. The Bennett people
want every thing TO go so that their
patrons can be sure they are getting no

Lake Manawa has been quite badly handi-

City Gossip.

Ofncers and members Of the various i'm
provement clubs are beginning to get dis
c~ouraged, as there seems to be little II any
prospect OF securing long-desired improve
ments this year.
For nearly two years the Eaht SID I'm
provement club has been working for the
extension OF the Thirteenth street car line
to Missouri avenue. While promises have
been made that the work would be done,
material has not arrived and those living
In this section of the city have about given
up hope that anything along that line will
be lone this summer. Then, again for two
years the club has been laboring to have
Twentieth street opened through Syndicate
park. Last year the street through the
park was graded and a date was set for
the opening, but this failed also. When the
time for the opening arrived the owners
Of the park demanded that the city sup
ply a number of electric arc lights and
give the street police protection. On &C
count of the overlap in both lighting and
police funds the city was not able to
do anything and Twentieth street remains
closed. More MIGRANTS and electric lights
are also desired by the east enders.
1t is the same with the Southeast I'm
provement club. Promises to extend the
Albright car service to the county line
have been made time and again, but still
there is no sign OF the work being done.
Last year quite a number Of dwellings
were erected in this section Of the city
with the expectation that the city would
provide means for extending the water
mains and locate electric street lights,
As the city now owes the water company
about $4,000 no more hydrants will be To-
Gated until a settlement is reached. II
IL the same with the electric light com.
pany. The council has been served with
a notice from both of these companies to
the effect tina no more Improvements will
be made until the outstanding bills are
taken care Of.
West Of the tracks the same cry is being
made. More hydrants and lights are
wanted. In every case city officials are
compelled to give the same replying
funds" AS the 1903 levy will not be
available until August 1t will readily bt
seen that very extensive improvements
cannot be made this year even should there
be money on hand to pay up the old bills
Building in South Omaha is practically
at a standstill. Not a single building
permit was issued last week. II is true
that repairs are being made and a few
small dwellings erected, but a majority o.
the local contractors are idle. Nothing hai
been lone toward commencing the con
struction OF the library building and worl
on the win of the Exchange building al
the stock yards will not be commenced
until the labor roubl in Omaha are set

Contractors assert that this summer viii
be the dullest one in years as few hav,
any orders at all. Labor troubles are tn
cause OF the scarcity OF building here, Will
the lack OF money in the city treasury pre-
vents any improvements by the munich

Pnved streets Dirty.

All of the paved streets in the business
portion of the city are in a filthy condition.
There is no money in the street repair fund
that can be spared TO hire teams and men
to remove the mud. Considerable complaint
is made that no attempt is made TO keep
the crossings down town clean. What little
none there is in the street repair fund is
being used in working the road machine on
unpaved streets that were washed out by
the heavy rains. AS soon as the tempera-
ture rises a little more possibly the mayor
will see IL he cannot secure the services OF
the IRE department to flush the streets. as
has frequently been done. Unless the police
commissioner see ht to permit the fire de.
partment to be used for this purpose the
streets will have to remain muddy and
dusty until the 1908 levy is available.
