July 1 his water ront became due, but both ho and his wife wore absent and did not re- turn until the middle of the present month, Tho water rent had not been paid, as he had received no notice that it was due. On August 20, an employoof the water works company visited the premises for tho Rurpose of shutting off the water. Mrs. Walker tendered the man $.50, the amouat of water rentul until January 1, 1892, This ho refused to veceive, demanding $1 ad- ditional tg pay him for his trouble.

Clark Wood- man took his fivst |)nl|k' of life insur- ance in the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Clo, of Milwaukee, for $1,000.00, on the ordinary life plan. 'Ho was then years olid; he paid 18 annual premiums of $28.35 each, or a total of $510.30, and he left his profits or dividends with the company to increase his insurance. His dividends now, at_death, amounted to $457.52, or within as much as he had paid to the company, leaving him $047.22 as profit, besides having 18 years of insurance. As an investment, it was equal to nearly 11 per cent compound interest an- nually on his payments. Such _policies as Mi. Woodman’s are issued by every life insuranca company in the "United States, but as to the profits earned they cannot be matched by any other com- puny in existence. If an agent of any other life insurance company can furnish you as good a record as this of any policy issucd the same year, same age and sume plan, I authorize you to take $10,000.00 insurance with him and [ will pay your premiums for you.

In answer to a complaint sent in by some one living in the vicinity of Twenty-first aud Vintou stroets,stating that the people in that part of the city had no polico protection or mail delivery service, Postmaster Clarkson said yesterday: “Ouv carrier, No. 7, covers that part of the city, His territory extends below Vinton on Twentieth to Boulevard ave- nue, and then in a diagonal course clear to the southern extremity of the city limits, The viewity lu woich the geuntleman lives who has mude the complaint is coverod by that the acputies grounds next | carrior, and if the gentleman will send in his street and number ne will have the mail aa- dressed to him, delivered at his residence.

Was in Structures of Which Omaha Once Proud to Be Razed Interest of Public Safety. At its meeting Monday night the city coun- il passed an ordinance declaring certain buildings unsal and ordering them torn down, This ordinance was based upon the report of the building inspector called for by an ordinance passed Avpril 23, Among the twenty-five buildings con- demuned were several which have long been rogarded as familiar landmarks about the city and some of thom have held a prominent place in the history of the greatest city in the west. The most noted of these and the one which has entered largely into the principal events connected with the growth of Omaha, is the familiar structure on the northeast corner of Twelfth and Douglas stroet,the Metropolitan hotel, ‘This is & two-story frame building with a mansard roof and a balcony across the front of the second story. The building stands on a high brick foundation ana pre- sents a_very dilapidated appearance, despite its fresh coat of paint. It has settled on all and at tho corners until it presents a jedly swaybacked appearance. This old structure was erected atout twenty years ago and took rank as one of tho first hotels of the httle village. While it did not approach In size the more stately Hern- don (now the Union Pacitic headquarters), or equal the Cozzens house on Ninth street in its arabesque design, it was centrally lo- cated and at once sprung into favor as the stopping place of the politicians and public men. For years tho old Motropolitan held its own with the other houses, and even now some of the older residents of this section mako it their stopping place when in the city, As the town increased 1n sizo the number of hotels increased and the Metropolitan was. rapidly retrograded to the list of miaor lodg- ing houses. The hotel was built by William Van Ameo and is owned by his heirs, but the names of its lessees are lezion. The present lessee is George Gay, who expresses very little con- corn at the action of the council. His lease expires soon and he is not worried about the future, Another landmark which has been passed upon by the destroying angel in the guise of the building 1nspector is the row of mansions on Fourteeuth street ex- tending from Jackson strect to tho alloy south, ~ These houses belong to Mitlionaira Tom Murray and, compared with them, Cul- amity row on Huarney street, between Seven- teenth and Eighteen, 1s a paradise. bouses stand on o single lot, and are all about five feet below the grade of tho strect. Four of the houses front on Fourteenth strees, while in thealloy 15 8 barn_and next to that a very small house. The latter is oc- cupied and consists of two minature roams. The roadway of the alley is level with the only window and completely blocks the front door, The barn has already leaned af- fectionately on this house as though to sup- port its failing strength. It has long ceased to be a haven of shelier for man or beast and has been andermined until it is a miraclo that it remains standing at all, The houses on_Fourieenth streot are in the last stages of decay and stagger under a sudden gust of wind like a water-logged ship in a storm. Three of the four are occupied and the larger one ambitiously flaunts a lace curtain from its lower window while an open door reveals a bright red album decorated with oxydized siver. The surroundings of all the houses would form a good field for the sanitary inspector. Perhaps the most _dilapidated of all the structures condemned 1o be made into kind- ling wood is an old frame building atthe rear of 1111 Douglas street. This building is a sight. In its palmy days 1t was a one-story dwelling house about seventy-tive feet in length, its rear resting in the alley, while in front was a yard soveral fect deep. It is now hidden from view of the street by astore building and is a total wreck. Its baclc is broken and the rear two-tnirds is used for a stable, while a family exist in the remainder. It will be but a very short time when the building will fall of i1self. The order for the destcuction of the old Ainscow block, a four-story brick structure at Fourteenth and LeavenWortn, is hailed with delight by the police. The block has long been a harbor for thieves and thugs and hus contributed more material to the annals of tha police court than any other one block in the city. it has been the Mecca of falien women and a sinkhole of iniquity. This does not constitute the chief reason for its demoli- tion, however. The building isin'a very shalty condition and the upper story is lail with only a single course of brick, so that it is in immiment dauger of tumbling down at any time and injuring many persons. At the corner of Tenth and Dodge streets 15 an old junk shop which has loug been an cye-sore to passengers on the Dodge strect cable line. The building contains two storerooms, both of which are filled with a miscellancous collection of old iron, stoves mall stages of destruction, bales of rags, bags of paper, old bottles, old clothes, mashed ap tinware, and the thousand and on articles which constitute the stock in tradeof a deal- erin everything which is thrown away as useless. Outside, a large collection of empty barrels, old wash boilers, piles of iron, rusty wire, broken bottles, ete., ad infinitum, con- stituto a style of decoration which is not des- tined to become populer. It1sa source of gratification to many people that this old wreck ot a building is to be relegated to tho kindling heap. On toe corner of Ninth and Howard isa two-story frame building to which the above description would apply and this is also des- uned to become one of the “has beens.” This building occupies a tull iot and is the property of the Kast Omaha Land company. Down on Thirteenth street, south of Jones, stands a two-story frame building occupied by a second-hand store where anything trom sty nail toa second-hand piano may be purchased. A gaudy banner announces to the publio thav the proprietor is sellng out b w cost 1n order to close out in sixty day: It is sufe to say there is more truth in this n than one of this sort usually contains, for the building is to be torn down before it falls down of itself and kills all the inmates, Across the streot from this buildiog is an- othor similar one, which has been vacant for some time, It will also be retired. Among the other buildings which have been condemned and ordered torn down are the two-story frameat Thirteenth and Dodgo, which has been vacant for some time; a tw story brick on Douglas near Twelfth, owned by C. I, Goodman and oceupied by a second- hand clothiug store; the two-story brick at 211 South Twelfth, formerly occupied by the California chop house, out now vacal ono and one-half story ‘framo house ou Klev- enth street north of Capitol aveuue, now va- cant; three frame dwellings on Joves street, back of the gus works, and the one and one- half story building at the corner of Sixteenth and Burl streets, which has long gloried in its sign alloon,” but which was vacated some Limo ago because it leaned so far over that it was in danger of falling at any time. The two two-story frame vulldings at Four teenth and Douglas which were torn down some time ago were also among the con- demned. 0, rrent Little Early Risers tion, bast stomuch. 0 resuits: e Witts Best pill for constipa- for leahaalaaae, bast for soar OMAHA DAILLY The | | brother, BLEE: OR B FRIDAY INESAND SILV John M.

On the rate question he says: “Duriog the past year efforts to im- prove the general situation gave rise to the Western Traffic association which has this featuro that especially distingzuishes it from | otner associations thut the governing wuthor- ity rests in the boards of directors of tho va- rious companies.

New Yoni, Aug. 27.—The annual reportof the St. Paul for the year ending June 30 was issued today. It shows gross earnings of 27,504,244, an_increase of §1,008,516; oper- ating exponses, $18,336,500, an increase of $1,103,402; not earniugs, $),137,724, a decreaso of §04,830; the income from other sources amounted to §34,207, making a_total incomo of $0,471,031; fixed charges were $7,237,251, leaving a balance of §2,234,050; after pay 7 per cent dividend on preferred stock there s a surplus of $609, 168, The company during the year obtained con- trol of the_entire capital stock of the Mil- waukee & Northern road, giving its own stock in_exchange, shave for share. It re- ceived o 4 por cent dividend on its 61,553 shares of Milwaukee & Nortnern —stock, amounting to §246,330. In his report Pro dent Miller tales a very pessimistic view of the situation, Hesays: “Itis an unavoid- able conciysion that when so largo an in- crease in gxoss earnings produced no in- crease in nod revenue, the rates obtained for transportat\n_are too low. This con- clusion is often met by the assertion that ex- isting rates would be high enough for all needs if thoy were ixaintained. It secms idlo to talk of the maintenanceof rates when pool- ing is prohinited by legislation. Maintenance of rates will not relieve Awmerican railways from the competition of foreign roads.
