A middle-aged lady eame into police court yesterday looking for Judge Stenberg. The presiding genius of the tribunal had his feet stacked up on s desk, smoking a fragrant Havana, while the dozen or more reporters of the after noon papers were seattered about the room drowsily waiting for something to | turn up.

A Review of the Building Projects so far Obtainable. A Magnificent Showing for Omaha With the Truth Not Yet Half Tola. The numerous and important building projects for the coming season are one of the best indications of the city’s growth and prosperity. As interesting as would be a minute presentation of all the build ing plans, it is, at this early day, diff cult to reach the facts. Almost ever) thing is prospective and unformed, yet the few that have taken shape will com bine to make good reading matter tor the pleasure of Omaha's friends and the vex- ation of her enemies withal, The n like closeness of a man with a scheme is notec offers some reflections worth noting. To repeat once more, the majority of all the building projects of the coming season are as yet contemplative.
