AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Real Estate Dealers Look for a Season Of
Unusual Activity.
MUCH HOME BUILDING ALSO EXPECTED
Police Capture a Burglar While in the
Act of RObbins the Grocery store
of w. Wright-Primary Bal
lots Counted.

With the approach of the spring season
the real estate men of the city all fore
cast a year of activity for South Omaha.
Just at present most of the real estate men
are busy with rental property and spring
moving. The demand for good houses
from SIS to SIS is very sharp and few are
on the lists. Following this demand for
fairly good houses, the early summer will
see the erection of many new buildings. 1t
is not thought that the aggregate will be
as high this year as last. when the building
inspectors records showed 100000 in per-
mits The bulk of that item was furnished
| by the improvements to the Omaha Pack
ing company's plant. which amounted to
several hundred thousand. That work is
now almost completed. Second to the pack
| ing plants engagements were the improve
ment and additions to the letter brewery.
Buildings under process OF erection at the
present time are the Harmon building. near
the postofice; the city hall, the large
cement beef house of Swift and Company,
and several minor structures. The build
ings now contemplated ARE the factory OF
the Kelley Shoe company, between Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth, on N. and the
office of the Cudhy Packing company. The
| wentworth Furniture company probably
will erect building on the Union Pacific
spur. The contract for the grading of the
! tweIve-acre plat just south OF the Krug
brewery has been let by Bradford-Kennedy
and II is the intention to erect coal and
lumber yards there late IN the summer
The deal has not been closed for the pur-
chase OF the land yet. but the only delay
is in securing a clear title for few lots
The greater part OF the building this year
will no doubt be residence property.
Count of Primary Ballots.
The returns OF the primaries were can
vassed yesterday by the mayor. treasurer
and clerk in the council chamber. w. ]

the votes in several precincts where thu
vote was specially strong for Thomas +

Joy of living for these people believe in
producing as much laughter as possible
when they can. and at other times to fill
the air with melodious tunes, allowing no
moment to pass without It's pleasure in
some form.
Beautifully tuneful, furiously funny and
prettIly put together, Ernest Hogan and
company's musical extravaganza reap
peared In Omaha Thursday night and will
remain the rest of the week. Made over
and freshened throughout the piece, though
clinging to the old Name, has been altered
In it's details in a way that improves rather
than Injuries it.
Rufus is as comical as he has ever been,
but he is only one portion of the enter
talnment. There are some most excellent
male and female voices and they are used
in singing songs which really appeal. The
old plantation melody, "Old Kentucky
Home is rendered by Georgia Harvey and
a chorus in a manner which alone is worth
the admission price. There are some bass
voices and tenors far out of the ordinary.
No extravagant scenery is used in the
piece. and this really adds to it's merits.
Nevertheless, some most beautiful effects
are produced, though the individual work
OF the members of the company are the
great features Many most clever stunts,
simple but unusual. are put on. A very
good number IL "a Chinese Courtship,'
which is original and effective. The theater
