Since the injunction on the Pacific house was granted to prevent the open- ing of the old sewer, there has been con- siderable curiosity expressed to know whether the Broadway sewer is capable of doing its work or whether it is too small, as claimed by some interested parties, also whether it has a good and sufficient outlet. Yesterday afternoon City Engineer Tosterin was approached by a BEE representative, who briefly stated the case and solicited his opinion concerning it. “Well,” said he, ‘‘you don‘t need to ask me in regard toit. Just go down to the Indian creek bridge on Broadway where the sewer empties and see for yourself whether it is filled toits full capacity. Why, that sewer has never had one twentieth of the work it is capable of doing. It only hus Glen and Park avenues and part of Broadway to carry, whereas it was built to take all of upper Brondway and the northeastern part of the city. This part has never been raised to grade, so Review of the Week's Business. Notwithstanding the fact that nearly every business has been crippled during the past week by the excitement which always at- tends elections, the investments in real estate have been greatly increased and shows that the predictions of the Bee of three weeks ogo are being verified. It was then stated that there was every evidence manifest that the realty market would rapidly improve. Last week the deals in real esta were nearly 80,000 in excess of the previous week. This week's deals, although there were only five days in which deeds could be filed, shows an increase of $35,348, This is most gratify- ing and shows that the confidence in Omaha dirt is on the increase. Several investments were made by eastern parties during the week and it is rumored that a $200,000 deal is almost completed with one of them. The projected manufactories mentioned last week are fast being pushed forward to consumma- tion and as soon as possible, without betray- ing confidence, the Ber will give full par- ticulars, The warranty deeds filed during the past week show the following values e Money to loan.

In answer to the inquiries of the BEE man as to the cause of his jubilation, he imparted the information that it was the twenty-fifth anniversary of his wedding. Although the gentleman and his estimable lady have resided here but a short time, they have a large number of sincere friends who took much pleasure in extending congratulations on the happy occasion. A son, Edward H., of Keokuk, is visiting with them at present, and is so favorably impressed with the beauties and advantages of this ;ity that he talks strongly of locating ere. ——— If you want to show your girl what kind of a husband you will make, buy her a Domestic sewing machine. el oSy DEFECTIVE APPROACHES. it can’t be concerted.
