A Fewof the Fine Stractarcs fo be Completed in Omaha This Fall. The King City of the West Keep- ing Pace With its Prosperity. Schools, Ohurc Business Build- ings and Residences in Pro- cess of Construction, o8, Thia year's building season for ( )maha is considerably advanced and already many fine structures have been com- pleted with others in process of construc: tion. One feature of Omaha's private building this season is the strongand substantial construction of the blocks and odifices erected and the different looalitles in which they have been built, showing an expansive growth to the city and a widening of the business center proper. Soveral architects wore yoter- |’ day seen to learn what will bo done yet this bullding season. They all anticipate that much will be done in this line be- fore winter. The following are some of the blocks, private restdonces and public buildings now contemplated, whose construction has only recently begun or will soon be- gin: Tho Sisters of Mercy will build a wing to their convent at tho head of St, Mary's avenue. 1t will bo G0 by 70 feet, three stories high with a basement, and will cost §20,000. Tt will not be fully com- ploted until next summer. John A, Creighton’s now building on Dodge and Fifteenth stroet, a three story and basement brick block 44 by 88 of the Rennaissance style of architec- ture, It will cost about §18.00v, It will be finished within two months and be used for mercant’le purposes. Messrs. John A, Creighton and H. O. Jones are now erecting on Dodge streot also, & four story and basement brick block, 65 by 120, It will cost 40,000 and will be used for oflices and merchandiz- ing. The architecture of this building will be of the Romanesque style, of en- tirely motropolitan character, It will bo provided with one passenger and threo freight eclevators, will have all the modern improvementa as regards heating and supplying with water and gas. The main entraunce will be from Dodge street into a veste- bule adjacent to the elevator which will be operated by water power. DBesides there will be a spacious staircase to en- able the occupantsto be at liberty to use either means of ascent. 1t will also pe provided with means in the rear for hoisting safes and furniture, As'ga whole it is intended as a model building for the purposes for which it has been designed, As regards strength of © con- struction and workmanship 1t will not be excelled in this city. 1t will be ready for occupancy Jan. lst 1885, Mr, Jerry Mahoney is also erecting a 40 by b0 foot two story and basement brick store building on Thirteenth and Leavenworth streets, It will be ready for accupancy by September Ist and will cost $5.000. Lewis Schroeder, of McShane & Schroe- der, will soon commence the building of a three story and basement brick store- houge on lieavenworth stroet, its rear touching the Union Pacific track. It will be used by the firm in connection with its business. It will be finished by Decomber 1st and cost $17,000. The plaus for the addition to the Hart- man school houso, are already drawn, which contemplate four additional school rooms, sufficient in size to accommodate 240 pupils, and a basement. In connec- tion with this addition the old building wili be renovated to some extent. The Ruttan heating system will be put into the building to warm both the old and new parts, The addition will be con- structed in such a manner that both buildings will be connected, There will also be one main entrance to each part for the purpose of separating the sexes. F. B. Salmon, Esq., will begin this week the construction of a fine residence on St, Mary's avenue of the Queen Anne style. Cost $3,000, Mr. Charles McDonald will soon hegin building a handsome dwelling on Kigh- teenth street near St. Mary's avenue, also of the Queen Anne styie, 1t will cost 83,500, Mr. J. A. Grover will soon _commence to build a residence for himself on Parks avenue to cost §2,000. The contemplated school building on Thirtieth and Douglus, whose construc- tion has 8o long been delayed, will prob- ably be erected this fall, It will be known as the West sshool, and the build- ing plans adopted by the board are tle same as those of the achool houses built last year, center, school room, 25 by 51 feet, with sixty pupils oach. The Ruttan heating and ventilating the building also, substantial with a pleasing exterior and | and I find there are & number of candi- A hall will be in the two entrances to each 1t_will haye eight rooms ing eapacity of with system will be used in It will be mwede very street by knocking at the door of a cer- tain house and demanding her husband, who she claimed was a frequenter of the place. Bhe was armed with a Dbig club and threatened to give the femalo who ocoupled the house a good sound drab- bing in case she did notturn the leige lord loose so that she could get » whack ot hum, The husband in question has been known to fro- quently, and uight hiy furious w ivas he made tracks through the back door and get sway, Atany rate the woman v'\& the club did not run sgainst him in that locality. There is @ strong probability that the matter will termin- ute in a big sensationand it may be that # divorce suit of an interesting nature will follow. Excursion From Marysviile, A large party of excursionists from Marysville, numbering about 260, arrived in the city yesterday aiternoon over the Lincoln branch of the Uaion Pacific, and qaartered at the various hotels, aftor which they proceeded to view the many nights of zflnltmpolil. while somelcalled or were called on by friends in Omaha.

John Peterson Pounded by Two Men and Thrown in a Cellar, For a short time past John O, Peter- son has been working in the St. vulien restaurant, Tuesday, he says, hehired out to Canon, of the European restau- rant, and at night went to that place to stay all night. He went to bed and was soonawakened by a terrible row be- tween the inmates of tho house. The man to whom hehadhired outentere dthe room and in no pleasant terms ordered him him to get up, dress himself and loave tho house immediately. Ho says he got up, put on his clothes and left the house. As he went out up- on the street he met three policemen and one of them asked hiwm if they had hurt him inside and ho told them no. He then told the policeman to look out for the.man instde as he car- ried a revolver, He walked down the strect as far as Creighton's new building, in the rear of the post office, when he met two fellows, a large one and a swall one. One of them said ‘*‘this is our man.” He told them that they were mistaken, but they advanced wupon him and struck him on the back of tho head, knocking him to the sidewalk. They went through his pockets but did not find anythino, after which they kicked him a couple of times and one of them asked, ‘‘What shall we do with him?" Ho was then picked up and thrown down in the ccllar of the Creighton building. This did not satisfy the fellows and they decended into the cellar and kicked and pounded him for some time. He did not speak a word and probably they thought he was dead. Ho lay between the joists in the mud until daylight when his faint cries were heard and he was taken from the cellar and carried to the city jail. A doctor was called and his wounds dressod. His head was soverely cut and his body badly bruised. One of his legs is swol- lon to twice ita normal size and it is im- possible for him to touch his foot to the tloor. Whethor the beating was the re- sult of & grudge or whother it was with Precautionary Measures Being Taken Which will Check Its Ravages, toon The great topic of conversation among stock men in this city yesterday was the cattle plazue reported to bo prevailing at was restrained by Nelson, who waa com- pelled to forcibly hoid her down in the hottom of the boat. Twice Mohardt dove down into the deep waters, but was unable to ree anything of Mamie, and started to swim for the boat, which had by thsi timo drifted considerably past the spot. Ho wasa powerful swimmer, but must have been seized with cramps, as he suddenly gave out and went down. Nelson tried to bring the boat about, an alarming extent in Western Nebraska. It is believed however that the state- ments are considorably exaggerated and it is thought by somo that in a few days it will be a thing of the past. The only places where this disease has appeared along the line of the Union Pacific are at Maxwell, Brady's Island and Ogallala, three points touched by cattle driven from Texas and the Indian territory. It was also roported last evoning that the plague had broken out to an alarming extent at Valentine and was making frightful inroadson the cattle in that sec- tion, This discase was first noticed on Sat- urday last at Brady's Island, Shortly before that time a herd of Texans had been into that section and the native cattle ina large herd began] dying off and it was reported yesterday that only two were loft. (iovernor Dawes in the early part of the week sent out a committee of investi- gation which yesterday was at work near Maxwoll, and the Wyoming Cattle Growers association ordered its veter- inary surgeon, Dr. Hopkins to visit the acene of these ravages It was thought by many that the disease was one with which southern cattlemen have been long acquainted and known as the Texas fever. Dr. Hopkins yesterday tele- graphed P. P. Shelby, freight agent of the Union Pacific road, that SUCH 14 THE CASE. Some of the cattle that have died from this strango disease have been examined and the condition of the organs and vitals closely investigated. The lungs and bladder are always fllled with blood, and the kidneys, in addition to congestion, are generally swollen, Another mystery concerning this discacs is the manner in whicn it is communi- cated. Cattlemen say that contact with ground over which these Texans have traveled is absolutely necessary to com- municate the disease to native cattle. It is said thata herd of diseased Texans will not innoculate natives with the dis- osse, provided a rail fence only sep- arate them, but upon turning the natives into the Texons’ pasture the dis- order will soon appear. This disease has other peculiarities also, The Texans never die of this fever and natives can endure it only for a few hours, Although many remedics have been used for this dis- order none have seemed in the least to alleviate the fever ur check the disease. While native cattlo seem very susceptible to the disease, it is never communicated from one to another—it spreads only from Texans to native cattlo. The presence of this diseaso nt this time in the history of - Western Nebraska's cattle trado, is attempted to be explained on the theory that this disease is a latent one, and in former times, when all cattle were driven north the disease had worked itseli out, and consequently did not ap- pear among the natives; butnow the quick transmission of cattle from the south to the north changes the condition of things. WHAT THE U, 1. WILL DO, Order were sent from headquarters yes- terday to Maxwell, Ozallala and Brady's Island and all other points along the line of the road where Texas cattle have been lately received to cause the stock yards to be closed at once and disen- fected, and to clean all stock cara and al- low only healthy animals to be loaded for shipment. Anorder was also issued to receive Texas cattle at no point east of Rawlins. The traflic manager of the Missouri Pacific was notified yesterday that the Union Pacific would receive no southern eattlo except upon the payment of first-class rates. This order will act as an embargo as the freight charges would exceed in value the worth of the cattle. A Union Paoific official yesterday telegraphed to the cattlemen in the dis- eased district that his road stood ready and willing to do anything that lay in its power to prevent the spread ot the disease.
