S. Arion Lewis
Asks for Job of
City StatiStlcian
Wants Place Created and the Mayor
to Give Him the
once.

The mayors approval of the creation of
the office Of city ststisticisn has been in
voked by S. Arion Lewis, who is an APP
plicant for the position. TIL mayor agrees
with the solicitor that such an office would
be a good thing IL the city's finances are
found TO be such as to support II, but he
gave Mr.. Lewis little encouragement.
Most large cities have statisticians who
compile statistics of every character" said
Mr.. Lewis, and Omaha ought not to be
behind the times"
Mr.. Lewis claims to have the backing of
a number Of commercial interests of the
city.

years In the office Of the city engineer and
son of Count NJ. Logasa, the Square
Deal club leader. is an avowed candidate
for the position of assistant city engineer.
but as far as known George w. Craig, the
newly elected city engineer, has given no
one an inkling as to whom he intends to
appoint.
Mr.. Craig, who was expected home Tues
day, will not return before the latter part
Of the week. but in his absence local bond
companies are ~bombarding his office with
requests of assistance from members of
the office force to land the bond for Mr..

appointment.
Mr.. Logasa has left the engineering de-

Victor Lindgren's candidacy for the posi-
ton of city market master was given a

usual. Mr.. Lindgren is a republican, but
the mayor has repeatedly said he would
appoint some republicans.

disappointment, that the a knows he

plan and purpose of the movement will be
sent in advance Of the solicitors to all
members of the parishes, and other means
adopted to work UP useful enthusiasm.
In. its appeal to the Catholics of Omaha
and South Omaha the building board offers
the following observations:
Il. This is the first undertaking of any
Importance ever attempted by our people
generally. We have some magnificent re-
ligious, educational and charitable In
stitutions, but they are almost wholly the
work of one or two men. We have as yet
no monument to the public spirit and zeal
of our people as a whole.
"2. We are compelled to call again on
those who have heretofore made some con-
tributions, because, at the time those con-
tributions were made, the magnitude of
the undertaking was not fully appreciated,
and, consequently, the contributions were
not as large as they otherwise would have
been.
"3. When completed the cathedral will be
a perpetual monument to the religious
public spirit of our people: It will be the
great diocesan church, and will give the
diocese of Omaha a rank among others of
the country which is desired as much by
the people as by our Right Rev. Bishop.
I'VE hope everyone will look upon this
enterprise as imposing a conscientious duty
and that all will want to participate gen
erously in its completion. We will ask you
to consider these suggestions and facilitate
the work of the several committees as
much as possible

Man Nearly
StarveS in Car
Goes to Sleep in Freight at Omaha

Rock Island train pulled out, He claims to
have been resting or sleeping in the car

Inquiry in Omaha by the police. who
were advised of the case from the Lincoln

fact that Lynch gave the correct address
and is probably Patrick ]. Lynch, father
OF a family living at the Mason street
number. One of his sons. of whom there
are two grown, Patrick Thomas F. and
William, declared to the police hat he wa'
sure 1t was his father who was in the

Mayor Wants to
Make His Big Day
Red Letter Event
Receives Many Suggestions as to In.
~auguration, but None He
Can Use.

James c. Dahlman Monday, May "a, will
begin his second term as mayor of Omaha.
For several days the chief executive has
been scratching his head to devise some
means Of making the, day distinctive. He
has received many suggestions, but none
that he can use. eva
Mayor Sears of Sioux City suggested that
Mr.. Dahlman advertise that he WOULD per-
form marriages free of charge on that day,
Ex-Msyor Brown of Lincoln, It is under
stood, advised him to proclaim from the
housesteps that Omaha is still wet, Mayor
Speer Of Denver told him to have the well
come arch lighted that evening in his
honor and another executive advised him
to have the flag unfurled from the city
building.
All suggestions have been received with
thanks by the mayor, but each new
thought has plunged him deeper into the
problem.
First, he cannot perform the marriage
ceremony as can his friend, the mayor of
Sioux City. Iowa's laws mpowe all ju-
dicial, executive or ministerial officers
with the right to join people in the holy
wedlock. but Nebraska's laws are silent on
this point and no one but a Judge or a
minister OF the gospel can perform the
marriage ceremony. The suggestion from
Lincoln's mayor can not we'll be acted or
either, on account of the democratic
o'clock closing law. Then comes the sug-
gestlon from Denver, but Mayor Dahlmar
says this will do him no good, as he tried
TO have the arch lighted the night he was
reelected, but failed. Consequently ht
fears he could not get it lighted on the
night of his second inauguration. AS re
CARDS the flag, the mayor says he coulC
doubtless have that unfurled to the breeze
but he fears the people might misunder
stand II and think it was meant to be a
half mast and then they might jump at tn,
conclusion that the mayor was dead.

1--WE have been erecting apartment

years the building restrictions have be-
come so unusual that 1t is impossible for
investors to secure the interest they usu-
ally want from apartments and flats. For
instance, one provision is that a large pei
cent of the lot must be left for a yard
This will eventually make Chicago a more
beautiful and healthful city, but it won

AN INTERESTING SUNDAY WE'D
DING

At twelve o'clock, noon, Sunday
Mr.. Harry Redgrave and Miss Lille
McConn were united in marriage,
Rev. H. E. Gabbey of the Baptist
church officiating.
The marriage was quietly solemniz-
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. McConn, in the
northeastern part of the city, and was
witnessed only by the relatives and
a few very close friends. The young
groom was attended by Mr.. J. w.
Toller as best man, and the brides
maid of honor was her pretty young
sister, Miss Jettie McConn.
The bride was most attractive in
her white silk null wedding gown,
and the bridal party entered the pref
tily adorned parlor to the strains of
Lohengrin's Incompatible wedding
march, which was beautifully played
by Miss Sabina Dewey, granddaugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. /. W. Ogle. The
bridal couple stood under a handsome
wedding bell of flowers.
Afte~ the wedding ceremony con-

The young couple left on the after
noon train for the groom's old home
in Virginia, where they will visit rel
atives for several weeks, and after a
trip to Washington, will reside at
Loughman, Fla, where the groom is
in business.
The bride is well known in this city
and has many warm friends, who
hope that her married life will be a
very happy one. For several years
she has been in the telephone Office
in this city and has always been one
of the most agreeable and obliging
young ladies in the Office.
