Astounding RRevelations of the Phe- nominal Power of Mind Read- ing—A Bee Man Ascertain What He Wants, It was the merest accident that led the BEE reporter to the discovery that a rival of Bishop, the great mind reader, is a prominent and much talked of resident of Omaha. Following a “‘pointer” a call was made at 1309 Farnam street, and the victim, evidently anticipating an inter- view, failed to greet ye scribe with his usual genial smile, and the following conversation ensued: “‘Mr. Jones, what do you know of mind reading?"” “Why, who told you 1 knew anything of mind reading?"’ *‘Well, [understood you had some power in this direction, and I thought the read- ers of the Ber would like to hear some of the particulars.” “Well, it was ten years ago that I took myv first lessons in this art and demonstrated that I could dis- cover names and numbers that persons centered their thoughts upon and other things of more or less interest.” “Did you continue the experiments?"’ “Only us they relate to my businesg, and in this I find great advantage.’’ ‘Do you consider your rapid growth of business due to this faculty ¥’ “Yes sir! to a considerable extent. It assists me to buy goods at the very lowest prices and enables me to show a customer what he wants without delay. You know ‘“‘time is money’ and Omaha people don't want to spend an hour or two buying & suit of clothes, so by being able to show them what they are looking for the first thing they are pleased and | fe our sales increase 1n magnitude.” “Do you getany sport outof your mind reading?" s “Weil, yes: occasionally [ do, when a prominent judge comes in ostensibly to make a purchase, but really to show his railroad passes and to borrow our last year's dress suit to wear to the opera, we smile at his long head, and when u prospective bridegroom calls to select his wedding outlit and is so afraid we will discover his secret that he acts as if he had a nest of hornets in his inside pocket, there is considérable funin know- ng his thoughts.” *'Can you read my thoughts at this mo- ment? *‘Yes, you are about to leave your order for a spring suft.” Just here the reporter concluded he had better desist, and bid the great cloth- ing merchant an an re voir, et The Last Chance. The last chance to get a lot on Farnam street at a bargain is in Briggs’ Place, 1 have ten choice lots on Farnam street in Briggs’ Pla which I will ofter for sale next Mond: April 25, and they will remain on-sale for four days unless sooner sold. The Farnam street car line will be ex- tended past each of these lots this spring. Farnam street will be graded a mile beyond Briges’ Place this spridg, Farnam street will be paved nearly to Briggs’ Place this season. Please call and get prices on these lots and take a free ride to see thew. Take a map and figure it out for your- self. We will sell these lots and give the deed on a small cash payment, and give long time on balance, as we regard the secur- ity nmeln. It takes no eloquence to convince an Omaha man or woman of the desirabil- ity of Farnam street property, and it will take no more of a notice than this to sell these few lots, so I advertise as the last chance.

OMAHA, April 23.—To the Editor Omaha Will you dly permit us to say a vords in reply to the remarks of County Commissioners Mount and O’Keefe, pub- lished in your paper of last Monday evening, bloody scene which that gentleman had taken part in. The last test was discovering a scarf pin, which a committee, consisting of Rev. Mr. Copeland, Dr. Merriam, Gen- eral Smith and Edgar Snyder, of the in_relation to the county hospital plans.

Mr. O'Keefe, there, states that he had been in favor of Mr. Myers’ plans the last time as well as the first, use he considered them the best. In making this statement, the gen- tleman stultifies himself and shows his Ia- mentable ignorance of the subject in hand. ‘The former plans presented by Mr. Myers were unlike his latter plans, as finally adopted, and they were condemned by a band holding cotton bolting closely over his eyes. Over his head he wore a black hood, which rested upon his shoulders and breast. He led the committes to a carrisge in waiting and drove the team east on Farnam street, stopping at Max Myer's. He led the committee into the store and found the pin where it had been placed by them a short time before. ittee of phy$ of suitable | A large crowd of admiring witnesses ap- O'Keefe considered them the — best.

And if Mr. O’Keefe considered My- ers’ first plans the best, why did he hpld the same opipion arter they had been radically and totally changed? These gentlemen take occasion to say that our pavillion plan was inferior to Myers’ and was noth nrhbut_l fire-trap. Lt inferior to Myers’ Plnn. why did Myers, in the second competition, adopt our general design? It the commissioners had availed themselves of the opportunity and examiued our plans and specitications, (still in their hands), they would haye found that the floors are to be constructed with iron beams and terra cotta arches covered with cement floors; that all exterior and main in- terjor walls were to be of brick, and continu- ous from bottom to top, and the minor parti- tion walls of hotiow terra cotta tile. The roof was to be of wrought and cast iron cov- ered with slate. Nowhere was wood to be used, save for doors, window-sashes and floors in tne adninistration building, and there it was optional as between wood and cement, £ Our plans called for a fire-proof building in every particular. ‘I'hese zentlemen say that upon their return from the: east, they were satisfied that none of tho ydans should be ac- cepted, In what manner were they S0 satis- tied? They started witih te plans, with the names erased, for_the wvowed purpose of oing east to New York :and_other points, and submitting them to experts and obtain- i leir opinion upon them. ‘I'he fact is they went to Chicago and Betroit. When they reached Chicago, the plans were locked up 1n the hotel saie until the commissioners were ready to leave the clty, and in Detroit the same Ihinr was_again done. If these plans were submitted to exwerts, will the commissioners please give the names and addresses of the experts? Messrs. Mount and O’'lseefe say that inas- much as our plans were entitled to only second place in the first competition and we had not materially changed shem, it follows as'a matter of cou they were still entitled to second place in the sesomrd competition. in the first competition; oar plans were awarded a place second to Cochrane’s, not Meyers’, and if, as the commissioners say, Meyers had greatly improved his plans, and this improvement liad been brought about by con1ul’mi|:lxml,hogenenldeal n of Cochrane and Mendelssohn, why can Mr. O'Keefe say that the AMeyers plan was best on the lirst competition? In the first competition Cochrane’s plans were preferred to ours be- cause more extensive and more expensive. COUNTY SCHOLARS, Four Thousand Children Added to g the Roll 1n One Year.

All prominent buildings, lately erccted, are con- strueted largely of that material. ‘One feature of this competition has, per- haps, not been made public, and it illustrates fully the position of the commissioners in regard to this matter. They came to us while the plans were under diseussion and said {hat we had provided no scheme for heating and ventilation, and that Myers had sub- mitfed an excellent system, Now, it so happened, that the commis- sioners, had, by accident, J)Incml our speci- tications for heating and ventilating with Myers' plans, and were eulogizing them, believing them to belong to Myers. ~ When they ascertained their mistake, our scheme of heating and ventilating took a tumble in their estimation.
