8 MARKET HUSE L() ATION Jefforson fquare Site Overwhelmingly Fa- vored by Mass Mooting Vote, EXPRESSIONS FROM LEADING CITIZENS Numerous Advantages of the Sauare—No | Legil Impediment in the Way—Op portunity for n Fine fullding— 1ts Promise to Labor, Soveral hundred Omaha voters, including professional and business men, skilled artisans and laboring men, made up the audicnce that assembled at Ixposition hall yesterday afternoon to hear the discussion that took place under the auspices of the Central Labor union, regarding the advisa- bility of locating the new market house on Jefferson squ At the outset the sentiment was in favor of that site, and at the close it was more that way than ever, as was evidenced by the overwhelmifig vote with which tho following resolutions, introduced by I3, R. Overall, were adopted: ; Whereas, The eltizens of O iy thorize ‘I‘llu festie of $#200,000 (n b is for the plrchiuse of o site and the crection of a mar- ket house and public halls and, Whe 18, It ix desirable that the projected structure shall be oo ydjous, safe, of easy uccess and centrally located; Whereas, It is manifestly e Interest of all clusses’ of our at the money voted for this bull nded for Tabor and materials rather than for lund; therefore b it Resolved, By the eitizens assembled In ma weeting, thatJefferson square will fulfill Jh every reepeet the wints of this city for an ne cosaiblo and centratly located site for o mar- ket house and auditoriam, nd that Inasmuch as this site Is alrendy owned by the eity, the whole #200,000 voted by the people can e de- voted to the erection of that stractu Resolvea, That we hereby respectfully urge upon the wayorand council to designaie Jof- ferson equinre ns the site for said structure and that they be furtber reguested to have Plians prepared for a fieo proof building, esti- wated to not cost less than #175,000 nor more than #£200,000 when completed. 7 Resolved, That it be the sense of this m Ing that, s far ns possible, Omaha lahe materials should b used in the erection of sala market house and auditorium On the platform were: Mayor Bemis, D. Clem Deaver, Councilmen Haskell, Specht and Holmes, Frank T. Ransom, Rosewater, C. J. Smythe, G. M. Hitchcock, Frank Heacock, City Treasurer Bolin, C. J Reber, Richard Kuhn, 15t Beerman, City Attoruey Connell, I H. Boyle, John Michaelson and G. . Guscoigno, " liberally representing the city { the various trades unions banded together in the Central Labor unon. Expressed the Lahir Seatiment. President Schupp of the Central Labor | union presided. and introduced as the first speaker D. Clem Deaver, who stated why the meeting was ealled by the Central nnion. Tha city had voted §200.000 for purpose of ving a site and erecting a market house and auditorium, and the coun- cil was now casting about for a site, The Central Labor union had discusscd the que tion and decided in fayorof Jefferson square as the best available site, as it alreaay be- longed to the 1d the entive amount of bonds could be utilized in the erection of a structure which would be a credit to the city. It would tend to make Omaha more than ever a convention city, as it would give the city a centrally located hall that would seat 8,000 or 9.000 peoplo, but of more importance than auything else it would furnish a large amount of work for hundreds of now unem- ployed laboring men. If that site was selected, it would mean the erection of a much finer structure than if hali or two- thirds of the amount voted was expended on a site, and the laboring men of the city would directly experience the benefit within the next few mounths. August Deerman of the Central hoy union spoke earnestly in favor of the Jef- ferson square site, and advocated the puild- ing of a market house and auditorium in oraer to give the people a place to meet and discuss questions for their mutual improve- ment, San De Nedrey claimed to have no prefer- enco in the matter, but wanted to givo work 10 the greatest pumber and thought that the surest way of doing that was to take the unsightliest site of all and make a good site of 1t and then erect the marlet house, 1f Jefferson square was selected it would mean_the subsequent purchase of another park site and it might mean an injunction. t would piease the speaker, as he was ¢ northsider, but iv certainly would not do as much in the way of turnishing employment for the unemployed as would a site on St Mury’s avenue, where a vast amount of filling would have to be done. The Jefferson squure site and the finer structure would ive more work to the skilled workman, but t was not the skilled workmen who needed the work, but the unskilled man, the indi- vidual who had nothing but the muscles of s arms to wield pick and shovel. Ransom Favored the Square, . T. Ransom said that it was simply a queation of what was better—to use the sito that tho city already had and begin work at once, or begin to dicker with real estate agents and get tangled up over titles and have the matter tied up for & year or two, The erection of the building ‘on Jefferson square would furnish work for a great meny unskilled workmen, as a ¢ excayation would be necessary, and tho delay until the work would bo under way would be very short. lmmediate work was what was wanted. G. M. Hitcheock thought the question quite n mixed one, and it should be settled whether it was tho best site fora market house for the people who would patrouize it when erceted. Secondly, was the site so favorable for a park that'the eity could not afford to destroy it? Thirdly, would 1t furnish work for the greatest” number of needy men! And fourthly, was the legal aspect such that the whole mount of money voted for the pur- chase of sito and the erection of a building could be used for the building alone? Personaliy, the speaker thought the site most centrully located and in every way ad. vantageous. He did not helieve that t crection of the market house would relieve all distress. as one swallow did not make spring. but it would help, wud so would the building of a union depot. ' Hope and cou were nceded in Omabia at this time, and was certutn that they would rey was only concerted, C. J. Smythe advocated the Jefferson square site 48 the most central one i city. It could be reached cither completely or within two blocks by every ear line in the city, with the exception of the eable, which | was'but four blocks away, so that peoplo f cry part of the city could get the for a nickel.y 1t wusalso near the railroads on whi many of the products to be sold in the mar ket houso must be brought to the city, thus malking the transfer quicker and cheapor, 1t was trae that a park would be destroyed, but the money that would be expended thero for park purposes could just as well be expended on the High school grounds, Bread and butter were more needed now than per- fume und flowers, and the crection of this building would stimulato all industries and g0 & very great way toward restoring gen eral confidenco, Whole Amonut Into a Bulldi Mayor Bemis favored the square site, and he also favored the auditorium idea. He thought that no one could deny that it would do a great deal more good 1o’ put the wholn amount Into o butlding, - o i not want 10 commit hiwself i advence, but he hoped that public sentiment would unite in ¢ direction to show the council how to act, so that all he would have to do would be to approve the papers when they came to him He hoped to see o large hall erected where such lurge auaiouces covld be seated that the pooror peaple could hear Patti or any of the ordinarily high-priced artists or see” the to turn off the arrows and buliets shot at him, but he wanted it understood that his personal feelings toward his critics would not be allowed to influence him against any proposition which meant great material ben- efits to Omaha or her citizons, Edward Rosewater was the next speaker, He said that he had advocated the market house idea for the past twenty years. After the bonds had been voted he had puzzled his brain trying to figure out how a satisfactory site could bo purchased and the right kind of building erected with the money that would bo at the disposol of the council for that purpose, but when the Jefferson squarg site was proposed the matter settied itself in his mind vight away. He regarded the idea that the city would be compelled to buy o site as absurd, 08 it might as well te cou- tended that if a certain man or set of men shoula want to donate to the city a block for that purpose the city would be compelled to pay them for it whether they wanted pay or not, just because the bonds were voted for tne purchase of a site and the crection o rket hous: Wants a Firat=Class Building, He hoped to sce s building erccted that would be credit to the eity, but this would be impossible if a half or two-thirds of the money was to be expended for a site, The ordinance required the building to be 204x60 feet in size and two stories high at least, and a structure of that size could only be a | barracks if all but £0,000 was put into a site, Ifnearly the whole 200,000 could be used in erecting the building it could be | made nearly ireproof, with stecl beams, and perfectly 2 o seat 8,000 or 10,000 | on the second flc The' speaker said ho was awarc that s 1 were oppose to o market house anyway, because it | would tend to throw 11" grocers out of business, but he knew that this was not so Montreal has two large market houses, and there were more small shops there to the square ineh than anywhere that he had eve been. The iden was to bring the consume aud the producer closer together, and if it would reduce the cost of Jiving i Omaha and increase the amount of Iabor it would | help a great deal in building up the eity; in fact, Owaha could not be made a_great city without doing this. The sclection of thoe Jefferson squar te woula solve a trouble- some question, and it would enable the musons and carpenters to be ut work® by the lust of March. The great problem was how to soonest furnish the army of the unem- ployed with work velers passing this way from the east or west would find something going on, und would ive an impression that the city was progressing, in spite of the general in- activity throughout the country, while it nothing of the kind was v y would regard it as retrogradin i speaker thought it of the i to have a large auditorium, where entertain- ments could be furnished for the i the people at a low price. Regimental band and great choral_concerts could be given in the prescnce of 5,000 or 8,000 peovle, at 10 cents or 25 cents a head, and more real charity could be done in a single evening thun by sending out messengers and preach- ers by’ the score and ndvertising in all the papers for weeks. He Loped to see the new Omatia auditoriim formally anfl fittingly November or December of this Tascall Dead Ferninst It Councilman Hascall insisted oo belng heard on the proposition, although he said that he hadn't teen invited. He was ns- sured that all were at liberty to express themselves, as that was what they were there for dead against Jofferson square, but didn't know that he favored any particular_sito. He was iu favor of leayingz it all with the council to do as it might think best, and allow the fellow with the | longest pole to knock the persimmons. He was simply with the boys to get the por: mons. Mr. Hascall seemed a littlo bilious, and he could not forogo the opportunity to give the mayor a slap, while he roasted the lawyers who had spoken as neys who had been retained to come here aud pettifoz this case.” He was exceed- ingly personal in his remarks; so much so that a number of gentlemen in the audienco loudly demanded “No versonalities,” He insistea that 1t was out of the question to use Jefferson square for market house pur- s the congressional act of 1544 placed ublic grounds in trust, and they could not be ctherwise used. Further than this, all the peoplo had contributed to the beauti- fying of tho park, and their protest was suf- ficlent to bar tho council from taking any such action as was proposed. Rosewater nted an auditorium, but nobody else nted one. All people wanted was & pub- lic hall, where it would be possible for a man without a braying voice to be heard. He desired it understood that he wanted to have a market house built, and did not want toseo everyihing degenerate into smoke, fog aund wind. Inasmuch as Mr, Ransom had been as- sailed, he asked to be allowed to say a word more. He said that he had given his opinion as to tho legulity of using the square for market house purposes, and he was ready to stand by it. He would' pay the fee of any three reputable lawyers who would pass on the matter, if he was not right, it Hasecall would agree to do the same in case ho was right. The law governing the case was the congressional act of 1864 amending the act of 1844, and the matter had already been passed upon by the supreme courtins case that went up from Otoe county. Hascall de- clined to sgree to Ransom's proposition to pay fees. Ex-Councilman Munro agreed with Has- call for the first time in his life. He was in favor of keepiug the square stocked with flowers and shade tr rather than with watermelons aud gavden truck. Councilman Specht said he was no gro- cer, and declared that it Munro d had his way the people would never have been given an opportunity to vote on the market house project, and said the council records would bear him out in his statement. He favored putting the whole amount in a bulding, and would so vote when the watter came up be- fore the council. Opinlon of the City Attorney. City Attorney Connell was called for, and said he had two opinions—one as an in- tevested citizen and the othez as a lawyer. He would say without qualification that in his judgwent the proposed plan to use Jeffer son squure as n warkoet house site was a wise and wholly legal proposition. It was not to his personal interests, as a_site on St. Mary's avenue would suiv- him better, but the Jefferson square location nad everything to commend it. ‘The structure would not cover the entire block, ard thero would still considerable ground that could be beauti- 1and made o very attractive spot. ‘Thiere s no question but that the city had the title to the property. It was designated . public square by ordi- nance of tho council, just GS was Washington sauare, that'is now occupied by the Paxton block and numerousother private buildings. The only question that could be urged was that of tho vested rights of the | abutting proverty owners. If a number of elegant residences had been erected there just on account of the frontuge on the park it would be different, but the surrounding property was all cheap tenemeat houscs or busiuess blocks, and would all be benefited by the building of tae market house there. He was quite certain that all of these prop- erty owners would notonly waive all question of damages, but would petition to have tho market holise built there, as it would make their property more valuable instead of in any dogree damaging it Allen” Root insisted that the city had given away enough, and protesied against “giving away Jefferson square, the last we've got, to franchised telephone companies and street vailways and railroad corpora- | tions.” An emaciuted individual with plethorie gray whiskers talked in behalf of “‘pale- faced mothers with half-developed children on these upper floors,” and_declared that to make tho park, with'its budding flowers and lust blade of green, “a dumping place for cabbage, potatoes and stinking fish was nothing short of ‘couseeration Clem Deaver asked 1o be allowed to make an explanation, in justice to seve speakers who had beon assailed. that the committee had not asked any sper W they s1ood on the proposition, but had sought only to get an unbiased ex- | Pression. So faras the lawyers were con- cerned, one of them, Mr. Smythe, was the at- 'IIIP OMAHA D\HY Bl<l \H\IRS AT SOUTIH O\I\II\ Packers Ready to Resist Oollection of De- maurrage Charges by Railroads, WOULD BE AN UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP of Mitchell Resolved to Pat n Stop to Private Poker Playing—What flis Kea- sons Are—lnjustico to Li censed Gamblers, Itis generally understood that the rail road companies running into South Omaha will, in the near future, make an effort to collect demurrage charges from the packers of this ciy, As s00n as the order is sent out it will meet with vigorous opposition by the packers, They say that it will work a hard ship and expense o them that they will not shoulder without opposition. The greatest difficulty in readily unloading cars is with coul. h packing house con sumes from one to four carloads of coal a day. In the past it has been the custom of the railvoads to place these cars for the packers and allow them their own time to ty. The consumption depends a great deal on the weather, and besides the packers aim to keep a good supply within casy access i case of a storm or some other contingen which would deprive them of getting conl for u day or more. ‘T'o shut down for u shory period would be expensive to the packers, und vhey must necessarily take great pre- | caution fu protacting themisclves The strict rule is that demurrago charges shall be made after twenty-four hours. After that $1 is charged for each day the caris held, Withina year this would make quite an item of expense to a packer. It is the coal cal but salt as well. ‘I'he packers figure as closely as they can and empty the cars as theéy can use the stuf, but to force them to the twenty-four hour t, they suy, would be pressiug the mat- tively too much. War oa Private Poker, Chief Mitchell has started out to close up allof the private poker game resorts in South Omaha, and says he does not propose to stop until he has succeeded in his aim. “I am stopping these games,” said the clief, “because the men who pay a regular license are continually complaining to mo and censuring the police for allowing poker games in the back rooms of saloons without requiring any license, while othiers are com- pelled to give up §0 a month. T have no personal interest in the matter, but propose to do my duty while I am chief.” It has been the custom for small parties to play private games for small money in most of the saloons. They are ncarly all men who would not play in a_regular” gamoling house. These ave the games that the chief proposes to pat an end to. 5 night the chief and Detective Thomas visited Jim Lowry's saloon and carried away all of the poleer checks found in the place. Noncof the players were ar- rested, but Mr. Lowry was given notice to appear in the police court Monday morning aty o'clock. “There ave now three gambling houses in the city that pay a finc of 0 a mont cach, Lively Council Session Anticipited. The city council meets tonight and a lively session is anticipated. Besides the routine business which has accumulated during the last two weeks, a committee from the Taxpayers league will be on hand to urge the council to go ahead and eudeavor to collect from the county commissioners the balance due on the road fund. Inasmuch as this fight will have to b madeon the ground that South Omaha is a city of the second class, the city attorney and a majority of the couucilmen are opposed o pushing the matter. City Autorney Van Dusen has alreddy given the council his opinion and it is to the effect that the moncy canuot be collected. He says he is willing to start the case in court if the council so urges, but ad- vises it not to do so. It is more than likely that the attornoy’s opinion will be heeded and the matter dropped. Ed Jonnson aud nis committee will bo there just tho same and they will have something to say. Johnson is still a_little sore over the order barving him from behind the counter in the city clerk’s oftice, and he will say something on’ that subject’ if the council will give him an opportunity.

The managers of the Enterprise Credit company feel that they have been injured by the reports published in connection with the Brown family, whose goods were taken from them by the eredit company on Friday for nonpayment of dues. “Our company sold that family goods amounting to $4," said & member of the firm, *last November and received §10 down. To show you that we have dealt kindly with that family T will tell you that we used our nume to secure them rooms. We did not push them at all for payments. We sold them the goods on November 13, and have received but # from them sinco that time, We would not have pressed them for payment at all if they had made any effort to keep up the payments or had kept the goods in decent shape, but the facts are that they have made no effort und shown no disposition to pay for them. On the other nand, the goods have been used vory roughly and now show more wear than they should have done in several years. The people ar filthy and kept the house in a condition that justified us in wanting our money or our goods Tho claim of the people that they could get no work was unfounded. We offered them work and they would not ac it, and this made us more than ever auxious to gev our money, and we did just what any othor business firm would have done under the same circumstances. We did not leave the family destitute, but fixed them up some chairs and a lounge and made them a pres- ent of a stove. We would have carried them along for an indefinite time if they had shown any disposition to work or made any effort to pay what they owed us. business record that we are proud of, and fecl that the publication does an injustice.

We have sold goods on a hard times basis, and have many accounts that we have been' carrying for ten months and 2 u give you hundreds of testi- monials on our lenient maanerof dealing with our customers. We are giving our pat- rous the easicst terms possible and showing them every leniency when they make any effort to meet their “obligations. Such stuff as was published in connection with the Brown case only encourages other people who are inclined to shirk their responsibilities.

J. M. Patterson continued the discussion of the reasons that cause young men to stay away from chureh. The musical program was very attractive. Mrs. J. G. Wadsworth made her fivst ap pearance as a soprano. She has been en gaged by the music committee of the church and will be heard at cach serviceshercatter, Mr. Patterson said: “One of wy corre- spondents says there is a suspicion that the chureh has grown worldly and has no place for poor people.” ‘I'ie vreacner admitted thu there was some ground for this charge He had no sympathy for any church that had no place for poor people. It ought to cause the members of any church to hang their heads in shame to have it truly said that poor people could not afford to become members, There aie churches that Christ coulu not become a member of and have a pew if he were on earth, and yet these call themselves chiurches of Christ, “The church must provide just as hearty a welcome and us good a seat for tho poor widow that casts her mite into the Lord's treasury as for the rich man, before it1s in any largo sense truly Christ’s church, “There are not a fow churches that need to study the parabio of Dives and Lazirus and take it to heart. That sort of religion is very like the religion of the old deacon who vrayed Lord, bless me and my wife, My son John and his wife, We four and no mory “From all such churches and Christia good Lord deliver us,” said the preacher, Sunday Recreation estion. Sunday recroation was said to keep many young meu from chureh, Mr. Patterson as- sured his congregation that any young man who s worth a pinch of salt craves recrea tion. There is something radically wrong witn the digestion ifnot with the morals, of the young man who does uot seek recreation. Emplovers should give their clevks a half day cach weel for out-door recreation. England does it with profit, and we must como to it. But the Sabbath v made for man, body, mind and soul, and it is in tue relizious ob- servance of tho day that the best results are achieved. He that lovoth pleasurc—that be- comes a sport—shall bo poor man, Now don't say that \u]unmll would revise that statement if he lived in a day when a prize fighte 1 win 25,000 in seven minutes. There a other causes of poverty, but the love of pleasure is a chief cause. And pleasure obtained in_ violation of God's laws is a mirage, a delusion and a snare. Some argue that the church should study and seeic to solve the pressing social anid political questions. Mr. Patterson agreed with this and deelared that the chureh has a messuge and a mission relative to every question_that touches the morals of the people. No question is ever seitled until it is settied God's way. These questions will not be so settlea till the church speaks its message to vhe multitude, Tufluence of skopticism. ‘The prevailing spivit of skepticism was said to keep many from church. This was doubtless true, 100. Mr. Patterson then went on to show: the young men how unreasonable it is to rejecy a system of such age and influence without curefully examining its credentials. He assured them that Christianity is not the refrain of a lost cause, that its fruits are sufficient proof of its claims and that it is going on to triumph. He declared that in- fidelity is on the run. It used to say there was no God, and now it says, “i dom't know.” The sermon was concluded with an argu- ment showing thet the chureh is essential to the development of man’s soul.
