O rn:rrng :rwfg] Dr]f‘tl_:l%‘. Dundee Place is a place to be proud of. Too fa,r out to be a common resort; but strangers will have to be taken to see it; and citizens who do not live there will feel a certain property in it---a city of i homes with not an unsightly object. There is land enough to make a city of homes---six-hundred ] e acres about alike, and managed alike. The part now ready is two-hundred acres. When this is sold, ' SRt | B e e e ——— - i y four-hundred lying beyond it will follow. The smallest lot to be sold is 100x135 feet; no house to be less than 25 feet from the street; no house to cost less than $2,500, exclusive of outbuildings or other improvements; no stores or business of any sort, excent one street expressly designed for neignborhood business; no nuisances; nothing but dwellings and their appurte- nances and churches for fifteen years to come. These restrictions, acting with the natural advantages of the place, make it altogether the most desirable If a paradise of homes can be oreated, part of the city tor residence. here isthe chance without hindrance. Let us consider what those advantages are: As everyone knows, the first ground to be built on making ariver town is along the water. all that is thought of then. But when the town is established, and prosperous citizens begin to look for pleas- anter homes, they go to the hills, Omaha began of course at the river; extended northward first, along the nearly level ground, a little slowly up the western slope to the rolling prairie. The southward growth is, not to speak of preoccupation by railroads, controlled by two facts; the stock yards and packing houses at South Omaha. Another fact a little surprising to strangers, the Missouri river is not an agreeable near neighbor, not even to look at. : The result is: the hills directly west are the pleasantest part of the city to live in, both because of the bet- ter site and because the building is newer. The first ridge is in the thick of the city; the second is on the edge of it, and unfortunately the building there is a medley; the third is Dundee Place, the first unoccupied ridge, the first one available for this paradise of homes; and this is well begun. Then there 1s nothing 1n the way. Convenience is For long years to come the south-wind will come fresh from the prairie to this third ridge, and the pros- pect there will be half-rural. Price of ground, $25.00 per front foot. Wa will show the property at any time. The Patrick Land Company, SOLE OWNERS OF DUNDEE PLACE, IRoom 25 Chamber of Commerce. W. K. KURTZ, General Manager - W. H. CRAIG, President. N. D. ALLEN, Vice-President, THE ONAHA BOARD OF TRADE A Large Attendance of Members at Last Night's Meeting. THE DEPOT PROJECT DISCUSSED. Fermission Granted to the Council to Use the Rooms—Advertising the City — A Merchants’ As- soclation. An Important Meeting. The attendance ot the monthly meeting of the board of trade last night was much greater than it has been at any previous sos- sion this year. A large numbor ot business men, whose faces have not boon seen at the meetings for many weeks, wore present and took an active part in the session. President Martin presided, and the first order of business was reports.” The secre- tary, in his roport, stated that he had col- lected for rents during the month of April the sum of $1,610.60; for May, to the present date, hehad oollected $1,435.16, and there was still due for rents the amount of $518.70. The current month's ex penses were reported $0 be §286.57. C. F. Miller, of the Richardson Drug com- suy, and G. I, Labagh, of the Omaha Coal, Boics and Lime. company, were adwitted to Tomborship i iho board, Presiaent Martin roviewed the trip re- cently made by the board to the Black Hills aud bolioved that tho visit had acoomplisued much for the commercial interests of the oity, In aking of the excursion, Secretary Nason stated that a corporation contemplated building a railroad to the Black Hills, and that it was thought it would purchase sup- plies in (}hlo{s: but since the trip had been made it had beén decided to purchase its ma- torials in Omaba. George Barker offered a resolution to allow the city council to meet in the board of trado rooms, as the counc present. ll]uur- ters were unfit for any legislative body to assembla in. Tho movement was favored by Max Meyer. He thought it would be a source of good revenue. The question was strenuously opposed by James Stephenson. BSaid ho: “Such a nasty and disgraceful outfit of men should not be allowed to meet in this I hope the resolution will not be con- sidered.” Hugh Q. Clark also objected, claimin that the board wasable to take care of itself, ond that if the council were permitted to hold its sessions in the chamber, the hall would socn be disfigured. After further debate it was decided to rent the hall to the counail. Tho question of the proposed new umion depot and bridge was brought up by George Barkor, who thought the committee on the matter should not be given any more time. He was of the opinion that the committoe should go to work immediately to secure the union depot, and that it should be owned by un Omaha company. He believea tbat Jef- ferson square would be a desirable location for tho depot, and that the briage should be buiis for the accommodation of Towa roads. W. A. L. Gibbon stated that the commit- tee on the depot and bridge was doing all it could, and asked that the board and citizens have & little patience. George Barkor said that railroads were being built all around Qmaha, and that somoething should imme- diately be done to made this cily a great ral venter, b”m'un' the erection of the union doposnd the proposed bride. Mr. Rosewater was of the opinion that the railroad comimittes could not expedite matters in the bnilding of the depot, but would have to be given time to investigate the situation thoroughly.. C. O. Lobeck introduced a resolution which eausod considerable discussion. At author- ized the prosident of the board to lfpollll 3 committee of three to act in conjunction with himself aud the secretary to corres- pond with the different boards of tradeof the civies of Nebraska, and also with the agemont of the 7arious rallways of the state, 10 devise some plan or practical mc hod to advertise the resources and advantages of Nebraska throughout the eastern states. The resolution was adopted, and President Martin will appoint the committee to-day. W. A. L. Gibbon offered the following res- olution, which was adopted: . Resolved, That a committee of nine be ap- pointed, of which the president snall be chairman and secretary a member, the busi- ness of which shall be for the organization of a merchants' association, which shall be known as the *“Merchant's Week’’ of Omaha. The cqmumittee will be appointed by the board to-day. B It is proposea to make the organizatio permanent, and by such an associa- tion it is believed that country merchants and people living in small towns, by being given reduced railroad and hotel rates, will come to the city to make invest- ments. ‘‘Merchants’ Week” will be a sort of & fair week in business circles, and it is thought that great results can Dbe accom- plished. At 8 meeting of the directors of the board yesterday afternoon it was decided to enter- tain the Commercial club of Kansas City, which will be in Omaha May 22, en route for St. Paul. The Ancient Order of United Workmen, which hold its encampment m this city June 18, will also be entertained by the board. PLUMBERS ON A STRIKE. Journeymen Anticipate the Threat- ened Lockout. The bickerings between the muster and journcymen plumbers have cvlminated in a strike of about seventy-five of the latter, At a meeting held Saturday night the Master Plumbers' association decided to order a lockout. The journeymen decided to anticipate this and, at a meeting held Sunday, determined to walk out Monday morning unless assured by the bosses that no lockout was contemplated. When the hour for be- .ginning work arrived, the men were gathered in bunches in front of the various shovs and sclected o spokesman to lay the mauer before the employing pluml When the auestion was put to them, the bosses demurred some vhat and showed a disposition to talk arbitration, but the jour- neymen would have nono of it. They were there, thoy said, to find out whether they were 'to be locked-ont on Wednesday or not, and all they desired was simply an answor. ‘There wgs a great deal of talk, but the up- shot of it all was that the men employed by A. C. Lichtenburger, the Hussey-Day com- pany, Rose & Balfe, John Rowe & Co., J. J. Hannigan, Graham Parke, Dennis Fitzpat- rick, Barnacle & Jones, Jamieson & Co. and Morrison & Reed, walked out without cere- mony. Milton Free had no men at work,and consequently none struck at his shop. ' W. H. Spelman is o member of the musters' as- sociation, but assured his men that he bad no grievance against them, and so the journey- Then in his shop are still at work. The men were gathered in little knots along Douglas street, in the vicinity of their hall, quietly discussing the situation. M. J. Con- way, president of the union, is engineering the strike, and seems 10 Lave done his work thoroughly. He saysthat the men are not off on o drunken spree, and that at no time will anyone be able to say that avy of them were drunk during thostrike. This trouble is of long standing, and de- tailed accounts of tho troubles existing bo- tween the two organization have been pub- lishod from time to time iu the newspapers. It began just before the meeting of the state association Iast winter and hus con- tinued ever since. ‘The trouble does not lie in & difference in prices, but 1 the refusal of the association to recognize the journeymen's association as such. The journeymen have careful preparatious and are so vacked as to he able to stay out any reasonable length of time. In anticipation of trouble, the union has already asked for and obtained the per- inission of the executive comittee of the National Journeymen's union to walk out in event such a move showd be necessary the opinion of the oficers of the local org: \zavion, This being the case, tho expenses of the atrike fall upon the national union. The terms upon which the men will return o work are: 1. That the union be oficially recoguized by the association, 3. That the fiues assessod against Mr, A, Froe be paid. d 3, That no further attempt be made by the 4850013 100 10 bring More NON-UNION Wen into the city. Some of the bosses threatened to put helpers upon the unfinished work left by the men who are out, but the officers of the organization say that they can very easily prevent that move. The masters have suggested that acom- mittee of five from each organization be chosen as a committee to arbitrate, but the journeymen say that they have nothing to arbitrate, They say that the bosses will have to come to them, and that if they don’t come soon they (the journeymen) will ob- tain a charter and open a co-operative shop. The executive committee of the Master Plumbers’ association asserts that the state- ment made by the journoymen to the effect that Mr. Free misrepresented the situation to the party of eleven men brought nere from the east, recently, is untrue. Mr. Freo and the committee claim tnat the true con- dition of affairs was fully explained to them. At a meeting held by the journeymen yes- terday afternoon, a general striko commit- tee, an executive and press committees were appointed. Ways were devised for looking after any men who may be imported to fill the vacancies. Several telegrams from unions in other cities, encouraging the men here to persist, were reccived and read. A vote of thanks was extended to W. H. man and Strong & Clark for refusing cur in the action of the masters' asssocia- tion, I'he men all agreed to stand firm, and it was decided that if the strike did not ter- minate by Friday that a charter for a co- operative shop be applied for. The bosses held a stormy meeting, from which reporters were barred. They were very reticent as to the result of the confer- enco, but it was judged from their remarks that no definite conclusion had peen ar- rived at. Bad Crossings. On a number of crossings in this city which have been torn up by the Motor and Omaha Street railway lines in building their curves, dangerous places are to be found. At Fourteenth, Thirteenth anda Twelfth streets the tracks are so high above the sur- face of the pavement that it 18 impossible for water to flow down the gutters atthe crossings from east to West. AS & conse- quen ce, deep puddles are always to be found at those intersections, At Eloventh and Douglas streets, the tracks are much higher than the pavement and one of the curves is unfinished, s0 much 80 that it is almost impossible for buggy to be driven across it without running the risik of being destroyed. It is especially danger- ous to engines goitle to fires, and the opinion of the residents is that the tracks ought to be either takon up or the road placed in passable condition. Andersor Sensation. There scems to be an impression about the county clerk’s ofice that Commissioner An- derson will not push his investigation of Mr. Roche's official conduct much further. The matter has now come to be an issue between Anderson and O'Keefre. After they shall have indulged i a fow tilts the matter, it is thought, will be allowed to drop out of at- tention. Mr. O'Keeffe wants Anderson to either make written charges against Roche 80 that they can enter into a formal investi- gation or admit his mistake and dispel the cloud which hovers over Roche's head by passing a resolution exoncrating him, —— Indian Territory.

The May term of the District court opened with only two of the four judges— Groff and Doane—present. A large number of lawyers oocuplod seats within the bar, many of the jurors being outside, As the session is virtually a continuation of the long-drawn out term which began early in_February, the opening was a production of but few features of interest. Experience Estabroolk sat at one of the long tables, and Sam Brown discussed current aity affairs with him, Acall of the docket was made, after which the judges gave their attention to special business for a few moments and took a recess until 2 o'clock. Judge Groff announced that jurors who de- sired to be excused and had good grounds on which to base their request could come forward and they would be heard. ~ But none of the jurors seemod disposed to be excused, The jury. very largely consists of farmers or village mer- chants, Consequently, they failed o arrive before the morning session was concluded.

James Hajack, a saloon keoper, whose licenso was revoked by the board of fire and police commissioners, in March, applied to the district court, yesterday afternoon, for a writ of mandamus te compel the mayor and the board to {on)xfwjyh restore the license. Hajack, in his petifion for a mandamus, sets up that he was arrested, on March 15, on the charge of selling liquors illegally; that he was convicted ‘of the charge beforo the police judge, bul'’an appeal to tho distriot court was taken, and that the case is still pending.

The motor also asked for an order enjoining the board of public works from granting to any of the defendant corporations a permit to enter the streets mentioned. The applica- tion for the temporary order was heard by Judge Groff, who will hear the case next Saturday morning. The motor alleges that since the pretended consolidation of the horse and cable companies, neither has done any act or thing to appropriute any part of the streets comprising its proposed route, and that neither compavy has, any right or franchise to go into tl‘l‘u streets for which it asks the restraining order.

WEDDED TO THE COUNTRY. Omaha’s Connection With New Towns Through New Trains. Yesterday the new time schedule of the Union Pacific went, into full effect. In response to the public demand, the company has put on accommodation passenger trains between Omaha, Grand Island, Stromsburg and Beatrice. 1t is so arranged that a man may leave either of these places at 7 o'clook in the morning and reach Omaha at noon, re- turning between 5 and 6 o'clock in the even- ing. The excollence of this arrangement consiste in giving the merchants in a circle, having a radius of 800 miles, a chance to make quick sales and purchases, which is an important factor in the prosperity of the state. It also enables everybody who so desires to come to Omahn and take in tho ' matinces, base ball games, celobrations and all the amusements of a large city, not forgetting the circus whon it 15 here. The effect will e a stimulus to trade, incroasing the local froight and passenger earnings of the rond, leading up 10 a steady increase of population from year to year. An important feature of this train, and one which is demanded, is to make it permanent, and reliable in its arrival and departure. A morning train from Al- bion to connect with the Norfolk acrommo- dation on the Elkhorn Valley road, also local trains between Omaha and Falls City on the Missouri Pacific, to securc the fruit and live stock trade of southern Nebraska, is needed groatly. The first Grand Island train came fn yes- terday with about one hundred passengor Tu twelve months of 18867 the old train cas ried upwards of 175,000 passengers. The daily gverage will be larger under: this regime. THE FAST MAIL. 1t Will Carry Passengers Like all Other Trains Hereafter. Tho Burlington has extended its. fast sor- vico and has completed arrangemonts for the conveyance of passeugers on its fast mail train. Formerly this train was com- posed of mail and express cars exclusively, Under the arrangements, which went into effect yesterday, the train will contain a sloep- er, smoker and baggage car. It will make the fast run betweon Gmana and Onicago, jear, ing this city at 9 p. m., and arrive in Chicago atnoon tho next day.' It was reported that the Burlington had entered into a contract with the governmont to the effect that iis fast mail should consist ouly of mail and ex- press cars, but an_attache of the genemai mai us, 's oftice stated that the contract con- tained no such specifications, but that it did spocify that the train should be on time mo- cording to the schedulo. Stock Yards at Lincoln. P. J. Gregory, of Lincoln, called at Union Pacific headquarters in the nterest of the stock yards company, which it is claimed is wbout to be organized at that city, The ter- ritory which the new organization desires to obtain is owned jointly by the Union Pa- cific and Burlington, It is said that the ocompany will open up oo an extensive scale. It was this fact that prolnp';g the Union Pacific to acquire the right tunning its trains over the David Oty branch of the Burlin, , thercby savinge haul of sixty-throe miles. It is stated thstt the stock yards company has been assummt that the prominent packers would follow up llu; (iuul and establish packing houses at thet voint. Extinguishing Sparks. Engine 718 on the Union Pacific has bean equipped with a Barn’s extension, the aim @ which is to extinguish sparks from the locomotive by compeling them to pass through condensed steam before being dis- charged from the stack, Should it prove ‘ success, the Union Pacific will equip its engines with the device. —— Marriage Liconscs.
