II have issued so far this year 1;7Ss mar
rage licenses. as against 1,s32 covering the
same period last year. A big falling off;
but that isn't all OF the story. 1 can't give
you the exact figures, but a far larger
number of licenses that were issued this
year were afterward cancelled, than was
the case last year.
why were they cancelled? Ask me some
thing easy. Tve puzzled my brain over that
same question many a time, when a pros
pective groom comes in bubbling over with
joy and gets a license and then in a few
days comes sneaking back to have It can
celed. Sometimes it's the woman who
comes to have it Cancelled. Yes, Cupid has
been loafing this year. but he may take
a brace and start in the first OF the year
with a grand rush. Never can tell, you

CASH GONE, PORTER NABBED
sum of $3.50 Stolen from Maurer's
and COlOFed EmPlOye f.
Arrested.

Five boxes OF money. representing the
amounts belonging to the different depart
ments OF Ed Maurer's restaurant and sam
pie room, 1906 Farnam street, and amount
ing to $3.50, were broken open and emptied
by a burglar, who gained entrance TO Mr..
Maurer's private office on the second floor
OF his place Of business Thursday morning
by crawling through the transom OF the
office and prying open the desk between
1880 and 7 o'clock.
John A. Henderson, the colored porter,
who was the only person in the restaurant
after closing hours, has been arrested by
Detectives Ferris and Dunn. the officers
working on the case. He is suspected Of
the theft. but stoutly denies all knowledge
OF 1t. Henderson Is locked in the Maurer
restaurant building every night at 1890
o'clock, and cannot leave the place till
morning.
About an hour elapsed between the time
the colored porter left Maurer's and the
time the loss was discovered. He went
to his home, PADS Erskine street. where he
was arrested soon after 9 o'clock, and the
theory with the detectives Is that II he
took the money, he hid 1t before reaching
home. The premises OF the house were
thoroughly searched and Henderson had
only about SEQ on his person when taken
into custody. A charge OF suspicious char
acter was placed opposite his name on the
Jail register. A strenuous attempt is being
made to locate the mony.

Superintendent Adams OF the Omaha
parks, engaged in drawing plans for the
landscape gardening in the new Levi Car
ter park, has completed one section OF his
plans and win present them to the Board
Of Park Commissioner for approval and
recommendatlon before proceeding farther.
The plans So far done show the improve
ment contemplated at the northwest cor

A boulevard will be constructed from
Sherman avenue Immediately north OF the
viaduct near Sprague street east to the
park, where the main entrance will be.
From this entrance 1t will branch south

wards, one a shore drive and the other

landing is now situated. The small bay

teenth street and it is the purpose of the
road to beautify the right-of-way from the
station to Summit, where the Lane Cutoff
branches from the main line. The work of
building four through lines from the bridge
to Summit is complete and the road is now
ready to plant some grass seed along the
right-of-way.
Mr.. Park says he favors the plan of
parking the tracks and depot entrances
and building tree or ~shrubbery fences, and
this policy has been carried out for some
time in many of the smaller towns along
the Union Pacific. That road shas been
making vast improvements along it's
right-of-way in building double tracks and
charging the trackage facilities at many
of the station, and this has interfered to
a large extent with the plans for beautify-
ing the grounds around the station. but as
much of this work is nearing completion,
the other will be pushed with greater
vigor.

h Union Pacific railroad is building a
long line many miles away from it's gen.

pletion- The Oregon, Washington &
Idaho railroad being built jointly by the
Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific,
from Texas Ferry. Wash, on the Snake
river, east to Grangeville, Idaho, is still
under construction. The line from Texas

miles long and is being built under the
direction of the Union Pacific.
This line is a puzzler to the railroad
world. as II cannot be conceived why the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific would
be building a line into the sparsely settled
portions of Idaho. 1t is thought the road
will eventually be used by the Northern
Pacific and the Union Pacific as part of
a huge cutoff plan to shorten the lines
