second and Cunning last night. to hear
Harry r. Zimman, candidate for mayor.
and a number Of the candidates for places
in the council
w. o. Cunningham presided and intro
duced the candidates. all Of whom were
well received and given an attentive hear
ing. The audience was composed largely OF
home owners and was one Of the most
thoughtful and appreciative which MIR. Zim-
man and the other candidates have ad-
dressed during the campaign.
Mr.. Zimman opened his remarks with a
telling reply TO the argument which has
been used against him in some quarters to
the effect that he is not a good fellow"
BY this is meant that he does not stand
on the corner, speak and shake hands with
everyone who passes and ask them to have
a drink.
He takes a position on this matter which
must commend itself to every good citi-
zen. He said:
mo candidate should be elected to Of
flee because he is a good fellow. That
quality is no test of his qualifications to
manage public affairs, to give the people
a good administration. The mayor Of a
city the size of Omaha. II he attends to
his duties, will have no time to be a good
fellow will everyone he meets, no mat
ter how much he might enjoy 1t and how
sociable his disposition might be-"
That part of his address which called
forth the most enthusiastic signs of APP
prevail from the audience was his argument
on the necessity and feasibility of COM
polling the public service corporations of
the city to pay an occupation tax for the
use of the streets.
In this argument he took pains to contro-
vert the false claim made by the opposition
that this is a tax on the working man, the

made Il plain that II will be a tax which
will come out OF the earnings OF the pub
lie service corporations and this TO COM
pei them to pay Il will be no hardship, but
will simply be collecting what these cor
porstions owe the people.
His remarks on this subject were fire.
uuently interrupted by applause which
shove that the audience was in sympathy
with his views.
The last portion OF his address was de-
voted TO his record while a member OF the
city council and as acting mayor Of the
city. and he briefly mentioned many of the
measures he has chsmpioned In the inter-
ests Of the people as opposed to the cor
porations.
At. the conclusion OF his address he was
surrounded by many OF the voters OF the
Eighth ward who assured him OF their sup
port and their endorsement Of his position
on municipal matters.
Several candidates for the nomination as
councilman followed Mr.. zimman and al
most all OF them announced themselves as
endorsing his views and promised. II nom
mated and elected, TO support him in the
fight for the enforcement of an occupation
tax.
When this features OF the meeting was
called TO Mr.. Zimman's attention he said:
This proves that both the candidates and
the people are waking up to the Importance
Of these matters which / am fighting for
and shows that the campaign 1 have been
making Is producing results which will
benefit both the republican party and the

There are also several nicely painted

land for truck farming. They pay from
SID to $50 an acre for rather poor soil.
and it is necessary to use a great deal Of
fertilizer in order to get a crop of any

Is large and the prices are high. The

VARIETY of Architecture.

There is considerable difference in the
value and a great variety in the de-
signs among the long rows Of houses.
Some have cost a great deal OF money.
and have considerable architectural
pretensions. Others are humble. small
bungalows. upholstered, and of the
cheapest materials
When I asked my companion what
they cost. he said from $500 to $4,000.
according to the station and income
of the owner. And the same may be
said about the grounds. The beach Is
shaded for the entire distance by ir
regular groups of grand old live oak
trees, and many of them are draped
with exquisite festoons of Spanish
moss. Each cottage, whatever its pre-
tensions. has at least one Of those
splendid trees within it's grounds. and
tos. and occasionally palm You will
not find larger Or finer specimens OF
the magnolia anywhere. Some of them
are as large as the ordinary shade trees
lustrous leaves have shimmering ef-
feet as they reflect the rays OF light
from the sun.
Most of the grounds are we'll kept.
with neat fences and walks. and the
houses are generally painted white

looking place. with the house out OF
repair and the grounds grown up with
ragged bushes.
The bungalow is the favorite design. evil

ciimate-a One-story structure with
gently sloping roof and surrounded by
wide porches. so that all the occupants
are upon one floor and spend most Of their
time out of doors. Usually. too, the
servants are lodged In detached quarters.
and the cooking Is done In a separate
building in the rear, SO that the heat and
odors may be avoided in the living rooms
OF the house.
There are few hotels. but ipnumerable
boarding houses. \ large. modern, lux

unless they rent cottages. But the cli-
mate aud other attractions are the same
along the entire coast.
Pass Christian is more modernized: the
cottages are kept up more neatly and the
grounds with greater pride. and the con-
ditions are not quite SO primitive. There
are few shops at Pass Christian. an

church. which is attended by both COL

especially for the colored people. because
the white worshipers object to going to
heaven by the same route. One of the
rich residents has private chapel and

Piers at Every House.

the water In front OF every house, and
II q man in q balloon should float over
this way he would imagine that this part
Of the coast was an enormous centipede
The piers are lightly and cheaply con-
structed and extend from 100 to 800 feet
into the water. with a bathhouse. a boat
landing and place for storing nshinS
tackle and bathing suits at the end.
Some of the people are. building latticed
balconies on their lighthouses. so that
they can sleep out over the water for
their health. It's new fad.
IT is necessary. TO have these long piers
in order to reach the boats. because all
along the beach from lc0 TO 1850 feet. the
water is very shallow; scarcely knee
deep: and frequent sand bars come almost
