T. Clarke, of Omahza. Much of the material for this work is already in the way and the con- tractor proposes to push matters and 1if possible complete his contract that cov- ers four miles of work the present sca- son, There ought to be ten miles of pavement laid in Lincoln the present year, but the city has made progress so slowly in preliminaries that not nearl; that much will be accomplished. ~ Witl active work in pnvini. the transfers in real estate will undoubtedly greatly in- crease.

She charges that her husband on the 10th day of Sep- tember, 1886, at 126 Tenth street, in y of Lincoln, and at various other committed adultery with one Liz- bb.

If nothing happens, the Metropolitan will, after all the cable talk in Omaha, he the first company to operate a cable in the city. WORK HAS ALREADY COMMENCED. Omaha, Nebraska, June 16, 1887. Omaha has had a great deal of talk about cable lines and cable companies until the people are tired, and it is a standing joke that every man that owns a lot between Vin. ton street and Ames Avenue, thinks the cable will pass his lot, and now it is as hard to get people to believe a new cable will be built as for them to believe that coal has been found under Omaha; but because we have been trifled with the past year, it is no rea. son we will be the next year. The Metropolitan has bought the Patrick Land for £615,000 and ha ve a force of men at work grading for the cable, which will cost $600,000 more. A PAVED STREET EIGHTY FEET wipz, will be made clear across the Patrick land, costing 100,000 more. Elegant houses will be built costing £100,000 more. Altogether this immense corporation will invest over $1,000,000 right in the neighborhood of the south side of Carthage, which is a cor- ner off the nearest and best part of the Pa‘rick Land. The accomp; 1ying plat shows the prices and location of the lots for sale. Kvery one beautiful and just where the most fas: tidious will want to live. These lots are owned by non residents and the prices on them were fixed long before the vast improvements and building the cable line were contemplated. or northwe Comnmare prices with lotssame distance south, southwest, north where theie is not"eyen a horse car line and no prospect of any, and you \villv see these lots are the cheapest without any cable. g Is it not a fact? that lots in every part of town, on or near a horse car line bring high pric S, Is it not a fact? that at the present time you cannot get a lot anywhere in Omaha cn a horse line for less than Is 1t not¢ a fact? that before the horse line was built, you could buy the best log on Park Avenue for$400; now ycu will pay $6,000. NOW JUST COMPARE, A cable line with a horss line and consider that you can go to Carthage on a cable line i just one fourth the time that it takes to go to Hanssom Park ona horse line. Then think that $750 will buy one of these lots. Not in a hole or on a hill, but a nice smooth lot, that is sur>—yes, doubly sure—-to bring $2,000 inside of a year. There are just 68 of these lots and I am the sole agent. Call and securas one before the owner visits Omaha and advances the prices. W. L. SELBY, Successor to Rush & Selby, 1521 Farnam Street. 1ZARD SCHOOL. One of the Omaha Educational Insti- tutions in a Bad Shape, . The Izard street school is onc of the oldest of the brick. educational struc- tures in the city. 1t stood formerly on the street lavel but it is now about twelve feet above the grade. 1t is surrounded by retaining walls of brick which in the southeast cor- ner display a remarkable tendency to tumble down. Onthe northeast corner a large section of the wall has been torn down partly by the rocent rains and rurllg v masons who are now at work n rebuilding it. It seems that the yard drains into this corner, ana the wall has to take the consequences, the last storm having been more than the structure could bear. Incidentally it may be remaried that the retaining wall on the north of the grounds is about as straight as a ecrooked conscience, and is in no way strengthened by the switching of locomotives and cars which takes place frequently at its base. The southeast corner of tho yard is studded with trees, the branches of which are interlaced, so much so, tl s of the sun are unable to penetrate to the ground beneath, As a consequence a shade equal to that of the Black forest prevails and is even extended to the class roums in the nearest part of the school. ‘The principal is Miss Anna Foos, one of the best known and most successful ed- ucators of Omaha. i Indy accompanied the BrE rep- ive on a flying walk through the building. 5 It 15 about this structure that so much has been said relative to basement rooms, dampness and a number of other evils and defects, and it was the first time the newspaper man had an opportunity to investigate the ground upon which the complaints were based. In one of these subterranean holes, were found the children of four classes, taught by Miss Rice, Miss Cassie Shaller, Miss Belle Shaller and Miss Rannie. Fifty-five of these belonged to the lady first mentioned, fifty-one to the next, fifty-eight to the third and forty to the fourth, They were engaged in the kindergarten excreises described in yesterday's Beg. Girls predominated. They were an attractive and intelligent company of little folk and seemed gr(mlli interested in ithe object and color worl which Miss Rieg was conducting. Leading from , this room, the air of which, from_ so many occupants was necessarily vitiated, was a coridor broken at intervals h walls and arches. Through the Inttar the BEE man obtained glimpses of !'lumber” rooms in which were stowed away odds and ends of all kinds, The atmosphere was cold, damp and musty, , Entrance was at length made in an abandoned apartment. It had once been occupied by the janitor. But the ihcfease in’_ attendance drove him ‘oit; and Mrs. Elliott with a class of children took hiz place, 1n addition tq, dness, dampness and mustiness, this. was dark, dingy and dirty. , however, senxnbj been abandoned,and Mrs. Elliott ha been given quarters for her scholars on Cuming and Twenty-fifth streets, Mrs. Wilson teaches the third A class, on the same floor, in another objection- able room, into which the trees on the outside never permit a ray of sunlight to enter. She has forty-six scholars in at- tendance, most of whom scemed as if bereft of ambition in their little public dungeon. Nevertheless the teacher re- poited they had done yery well during the year, her leaders being Ella Russell, Pearl Christianson and Wilham Ander- son. Miss Littlefield teaches third B, a class supplied with double desks, which looked as if a generation of granafathers had been graduated from them. ‘I'here were thirty-eight children 1n attendance, one of whom was colored, and among the brightest in the eolass. ¥asie Gardner and Lemuel Anderson had not been ab- sent during the year. The class was en- gaged in the examination for drawing, its work being very creditable. The most prominent pupils were John Dick- enson, Jessie White, Laura Graham and Edith Ward. Misy Kate Foos was found as teacher of first and second A, but her class had just been dismissed for the afternoon. {er leading scholars were Ferme Cole- man, Louis Wright, Phabe Thurwell and Mollie Priesten. Miss Stull has had forty pupils m a room about 12x10 feet. Thiis pen lies be- tween two others, and to veatilate 1t, it is necessary to open a door on_ either side, leading into other classes. The class had been dismissed, the hour of dismissal be- ing at about 2:30 o'clock, buta half an hour being allowed _for 'recess at noon- time. ‘The reason of this early disnnssal was because of the smallness of the room and the intense heat which prevailed there when the sun poured down his rays from the west. Miss Stull's lending scholars were Ella Kirkpatrick, Walter Trexel ana Anna Neilson. #The furniture of the room was old and dilapidated, and two or three difterent styles were no- ticed. Miss Dye has a class of thirty-one child- ren, one of whom was colored, Her leaders were Thomas Kirkpatrick, Wal- ter Anderson and Guy Cameron. Miss Anna Foos, the principal, has charge of the eighth B, a class composed anced pupils preparing for the high school. ‘T'hey were engaged in th drawing examination, some of the papers of which thd BE: man inspected. The latter displayed exceeding care and in- terest and ability. The most distinguished were Stella Rice, John Spaffor and Gar- ret Coleman, Miss G. Valentine teaches the sixth B and scventh A, consisting of twenty-tive boys and girls. As in the other classes, the children of this class were engaged m iinishing the drawing examination. ‘T'hey had already finished the examina- tion in music. Miss Valentine spoke in the highest terms of her class, and the apoearance of the whole ained the commendation of the teacher. The sixth B had gone as far as porc: age, and the seventh B to partiai p: ments, Her brightest schol Mabe! Hale, Frank MecCune, Mollie Carnaby and Frank Haskell. The latter little fellow, the son of Harry Has| has not been absent or tardy this neither has he been since he has b attendance upon the school, the years. This is a distinction enjoyed by no other member of the school. ie Shields, of the class, has also been pres- ent every day during the present year. Mrs. Champlin's class, fifth B, has only twenty-eight scholars. They are in the fourth reader, and a number of them are very expert in all their studies. Her brightest ones are Willie Hughes, Ida Holmes, Julia Priesman and Linda Wig- man, Miss Wilson has seventh A and B classes, which comprise twenty-eight scholars. During the year she has en- rolled fifty. Her leading pupils are Stella Kane, William Bartlett, Charles Spencer and Cora Neidig. Miss Sadie Bunker has control of seventh and eighth B, with thirty-six children. The latter grade have com- pleted their study of arithmetic, and the eighth have rcached proportion. The former are now preparing for the high school exammnation. 'The leaders are Julia Schwartz, Essie Mackey, Ella Bon- ner and Howard Parmalee, Miss Rennie, whose class was men- tioned in the opening of this article, has a room in one of the angles of the buld- ing, too small for her cl: It bas only benches, which are entircly too uncom- fortable for the little ones. In a frame building west of the school are quartered the classes of Miss Rice and Miss Nora O'Connor. ‘Thosc of the former have already been spoken of in the kindergarten exercises, the leaders Y T g - being Oren Smith, Mabel Nelson, Bessie Jackson and Jessio Weyrick. Miss O'Connor’s class is the fifth A, a bright and diligent collection of scholars, who display unusual proficiency in their studies. The building in which these classes study was as hot as an oven when wisited, and on Thursday last the chil- dren had to be dismissed, the tempera- ture of the building having attained to 08 degrees. A Monopolistic Robbery. McCooxk, Neb., June 17.—[To the Edi- tor of the Bee.]—Among other property owned by the Lincoln Land company is the water system of McCook, and 1t being tee owner of the water system, it 1s easily seen what petty annoyances the consum- ers are subject to. This system 1s gotten up for the express purpose of robbing the consumer, and it is a success with some, but the company sometimes get hold of the wrong man, as they did a few days ago In Mr.J. S. LeHew, who had paid his water tax up to July 1, for tho six months from January 1, and the company imagined ho was using' o bucketful more than he was entitled to and notified Mr. LeHew to pay a lawn tax. As he had no lawn, he paid no attention to the matter, when the com- pany, without any warning, shut the water off from the house, Mr. Le. Hew at once turned it on and enjoined the com- pany from interfering with the water, Judge Cochran of the District court fir:\ulud the restraining order asked for, ut the water company s to defy all law, statutory as well as divine, and shut it off again about 12 o'clock at night. What the outcome will be is hard to tell, but 1t will afford a good opportunity to show up the sechemes of the Lincoln I company and its many modes of robl which are nor confined to the peopl McCook and the residents along the line of the B. & M., but to United States, as inany deeds for pre-emptions and homestead o 3 from settlers () to in- dividual members of the Lincoln Land company. e Daring Train Robbery, at 1:30 o’clock this his side of Schu- n drew up at th WD revolvers moun to tho open prairie, 200 yards fire was burning’ and “around which stood elght or ten men, all arm The two rob- bers on the engine stood guard over the enginaer while the others went through ess and passenger cars nearly unaware the mail, exy all the passengers were asleep and of wiat was going on.
