BRICK CONTRACTS
FINALLY APPROVED
BY COMMITTEE
TWO MONTHS DELAY CAUSES
HEAP OF COMMENT IN CITY
HALL-soME KICKS ON LAST
YEARS PAVING.

After holding up the city paving
brick contracts Tor nearly two months.
the council committee on streets de-
clded, Tuesday morning, TO recon-
mend the acceptance of the contracts
just as they were prepared by Commits
sioner HaGrer In January. This ac-
tion was taAen only after a long SEES
sion In which Commissioner Haarer
was called in to be told that the alder
men did not like the brick laid last
year
II developed that most OF the brick
to which objection were made are OF
brand which Is not included In the
mmissioner's list this year
The brick have been bad for sew
eral years" asserted Aid. Friewald.
Some OF the brick we found In the
streets were SO soft that the top edge
could be scraped OF with an iron bar.
The committee. which has gone over
number of streets, commented the
paving OF Mack-ave. and roasted the
appearance of Gratiot-aye.
There are the same kind OF brick
ON both street" replied Haarer. dryly
when this was put up To him Ihey
were shipped In at the same time.
The difference In these resurfacing
Jobs is due TO the varying nature oi
the foundations" Haarer told the aid
ermen later. I'm some places the
concrete was not as good as In others
and there developed bad places.
While Haarer was temporarily alb
sent some OF the aldermen informed
Mayor Breitmeyer that one firm,
Thomas Bros, supplied SO per cent OF
the brick furnished the city last year.
Ii was against this firm that the ma
ioritv of the committee seemed TO
cherish feeling.
THAT is true" said Haarer when
the mayor called the matter 10 his al
tention. This firm represented four
firms that were among the lowest bid
ders last year In addition one or the
three other firms did not supply
enough brick and we had 10 call ON
these four firms to make up the diff
ference"
There has been a great deal OF com
ment about the city hall On the ex-
treme delay OF the committee In con-
sidering these bids In some quar-
ters IL Is intimated that some OF the
aldermen Ola the committee were not
averse to hurting Haarer II they could
find material for complaint against
him. lnasmuch as the commissioner
has an agreement with the brick com.
panies by which he can force them TO
replace any defective brick he does
not suffer from the finding of some
pad places in new streets.
Il do not see why the committee
could not find out all 1t wished to
know about these bricks in two weeks
instead of two months said city
Official who was called to pass upon
the matter.

turned over to him by Samson, that the lists
may be checked off, the acceptances and re-
grets recorded. Some of the replies are most
amusing. Sometimes they come in pink en-
velopes and oftimes the v~erbiage is a wonder.
Sometimes letters are received from prominent
men in the state. saying that they can see no
reason for their daughters being left off the
list, as the daughter is much more beautiful
and much more accomplished than some other
young woman from the same city, who has
been chosen to act as a maid to the queen on
the momentuous night.
To decorate the den in a gorgeous style,
and to have something different each year is
also the task of the chairman Of the ball COM
mittee, But here the chairman cannot be
caught mapping, because he has a most able
lieutenant, and all he has to do is to say, Gus,
get busy" and presto change, the big den with
its high ceilings and Orders and rough pillars
is changed into a bower Of beauty under the
skillful guidance of Gus Rene, chief a%rtificer
to the king, and the man who builds the
day night for the thousands who come to
Omaha to be initiated into the secrets OF the
merry monarch.
The work Of preparing the den for the
Dali Is an enOTIuOuB JdSh' Inc uSu 10 IuO
property Of the knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and 1t
floats and prepares the t%ortures for each Mon
from it's almost barnlike appearance to a
is put to a large variety of uses. At the pres
ent time 1t is one of the busiest spots in
Omaha, for here Gus Rene, with a large force
Of w~orkmen, is building the twenty floats
for the electrical parade, which thousands
and thousands will come hundreds of miles
to see pass through the streets of the chief
city of Quivera. Here all summer the work
ing crew has been putting on a weekly initia-
ton, which this year assumed mammoth pro-
portions when the oprey, "Papricka Schnitzel, -
was sung to admiring throngs each week.
The floats are not taken from the den until
Wednesday night, two days before the cor
onation ball, and this gives the decorators
but two days to transform the big building
bower of beauty, gorgeous enough for the
browning of any monarch. Not only must the
dance hall be prepared, but the coronation
throne must be built and the dressing rooms
prepared for the maids and also for all the
people who attend the ball. This is a her
culanean task, but the committee has never
been found wanting. Last year added troubles
were loaded onto the shoulders of the ball
committee, for the board Of governors decided
that one ball was not enough, but that a Sec

leading business men to get under the wire.
They have forgotten to join Ak-Sar-Ben until
Just before the ball and wonder why they re-
coive no admission cards. This causes many
amusing incidents. Last year the list of maids
of honor was made out. and at the last min
ute it was discovered that the fond papas Of
some of the chosen maids were not members
of the order and it was a case Of scratch the
names from the list or have papa join. Last
year the telephone was put in use and several
checks for $40 were thus received on the last
day. Many Omaha matrons, sometimes away
for the summer, come home with the inten-
ton of going to the ball, They inquire from
the head of the house for the ball tickets,
and when informed that the worst half has
neglected to join the order, they start some
thing, and again is a check sent by the first
mail to Samson. Thus the exceecquer is Of

Confidential Confessions of a

ond ball should be given for the pleasure Of
the knights of the realm. The children's Gin
derella ball was put on the program to fol-
low the coronation ball on the following after
noon, and thus were the duties of the chair
man practically doubled by one resolution Of
the board Of governors. Last year this task
fell to Victor B. Caldwell, and this year
Joseph Barker has the job. He also has prac-
tically two balls to look after, for in addi-
ton to the coronation ball a Japanese Child
ren's Tea party will be given, which those
who have seen the preparations say will far
eclipse anything which Samson has yet un-
dertaken in honor of the coronation of the
king.
On the night of the big ball the identity
of the kind and queen are supposed to be re-
vealed for the first time. To select these in
such a manner that no one will know who is
to be the king and who is to be his consort,
is the duty Of the chairman of the ball COM
mittee. Many different schemes have been
tried, but it is with difficulty that the chosen
ones are kept under cover. Heretofore twelve
maids of honor have been selected, and from
these one is chosen as queen. The public has
learned that the name of the queen is incor-
porated in this list, and watches tn daily
papers with anxious eyes to see if it cannot
figure out who is to be the queen. This Gus
tom will be changed this year and the name
of the queen will not be included in the list
of the maids of honor.
The one regret Of hundreds of women who
attend the ball each year is that they are not
permitted to view the initiatory ceremony
which Is given each Monday night during the
summer. When the ball is Oh youthful SWANS
may be seen pointing out different spots
around the historic den where they have re-
ceived their bumps or where the big goat got
in his deadly work on his anatomy. Petitions
have been sent to the Board of Governors,
requesting that the women might be given a
special night at the den, but to all these the
board turns a deaf ear. Especially numerous
have the requests been this year to hear the
beautiful oprey OF "Paprika Schnitzel," who
is weekly kidnapped by hungry pirates. But
nay, nay, Pauline, this show is for the sterner
sex, and the fair women will have to be sat
isfied to use the dancing floor for dances only
and may not see the big show.
King Ak-Sar-Ben is a stern monarch and
insists that no one from Omaha may have ell
trance to the ball unless he has come forward
with his ten plunks. This often causes a hustle
at the last minute on the part of some of the
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-26

times made considerably richer on the day
before the ball.
This year the chairman of the ball COM
mittee is a marred man, and he is now trying
to shoulder the responsibility of caring for the
country maids of honor on to Charles Beaton,
the only unmarried member of the board. Mr..
Beaton has an automobile and is considered
quite a catch, and if he does not undertake
this task voluntarily the board is considering
Il" idea of passing a resolution, giving him
this pleasant task Just as they did in the case
Of Gould Dietz some years ago.
This year Samson has written to the board
ii county commissioners OF each county in
Nebraska to choose some young maiden from
each county to represent that county at the
Ak-Sar-Ben ball. The commissioners will
choose these as they see fit, either by contest
or by vote within their own body.
