AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAI Taxpayere' League Started Out to £olve One of the Problems, FINDING OUT THE CLASS OF THE CITY One of the Questions that Is Giving the Taxpayers' Leagne an End| Amount of Trouble—Gossip of the Day. The Taxpayers league has started out with the determination of finding out whether South Omaha Is a city of the first or second class, and as soon as possible at that. Mayor Johnston was asked In regard to what defense the city officials proposed to make in the case. He replied that he did not know, as the officials had not yet talked the matter o The mayor's idea of get- ting an immediate opinion from the supreme court on the proposition would be to go into the supreme court direct and mandamus the.county treasurer to pay over to the city the balance due the road fund The intention of the attorneys employed by the league 18 to go into the district court and ask for an injunction to restrain the city officials from collecting salaries, on the grounds that they are higher than is allowed in cities of the second clsas, If the tem- porary order is granted and a hearing given on making It permanent and that sustained, it will be some time before the matter can be taken to the supreme court. An effort will be made to advance the case on the calendar in the supreme court, but it is the general opinion that If fair progress is anade as indicated a final answer cannot be secured before the legislature mects, when an effort, will be made to smooth over the whole matter and legalize what has been done by the authorities. Ve are going to fight the case,” said one councilman, “and we are golng to win. It I8 for the {nterests of the taxpayers that we should, The thing has gone along now so far nothing would be accomplished to have the supreme court decide us to be a city of the second class. I doubt whether any court will fssue a restraining order in a case of this kind, It is possible the case will be allowed to go up on Its merits, but my idea 18 to employ good counsel to assist the city attorney and fight the case to a finish. It is something that should never have been agitated at this time, as it is going to be quite an expense to the taxpayers. If the question of class was to have been deter- mined it should have been done long ago. When the legislature meets next winter ths whole matter can be easily settled and no one will be any worse off for the mistake, it there has been one made.” Mr. Lane, one of the attorneys for the league, said last evening: “We are work- ing purcly in the interests of the ta payers In this matter. We have no in- dividual interest in the matter one way or the other. Our sole desire is to have the courts determine as soon as possible whether we are a city of the first or second class. 1 will admit that this is a proposition that should have been determined a long time ago, but it was not and now we propose to find out exactly where we stand.” Mr. Lane admitted that the members of the Taxpayers league had decided to let the question stand open until after the legislature met, but when they saw the present administration going ahead and rais- ing money -under the “first class" system, they concluded to call a halt. He said the attorneys had not yet decided as to what form the matter would be introduced in the coiirts. ‘A Thorough Business Woman. Mrs. Frank Watts, wife of Charles H. ,Watts, the commis:ion man, bears the repu- tation of being one of the most active, en- ergetic and_successful business women in the state of Nebraska. For a long time she képt the books and attended to the col- lections for the Cuddington Coal company, but later or. opened up an insurance office, and, it s said, she has written more poli- gles in the same length of time than any Other person who ever undertook the business here. The last deal Mrs. Watts made was to trade sand and gravel for a carload of horses down in Mis:ourl, and she 1s now putting In her time at the stock yards for a few days disposing of her equestrian thoroughbreds. Mrs, Watts is a most estimable lady, and has the respect of all persons with whom she has ever had any dealings. Not ouly is the lady up in business tactics, but at home she is one of the most Interesting entertainers in South Omaha soclety circles To Increase the Capacity. The South Omaha Brewing company is making some extensive improvements on its plant. A large two-story brick addition is belng bullt on the west side of the brewery. Two immense new boilers are being placed here and also additional machinery, which will increase the capacity of the brewery about one-third. A large force of men are at work on the job, as Mr. Jetter says th increase in his business demands that he must branch out and increase his capacity at once. A big lake, which is fed by springs and a small creek, has ‘beem ykillfully Panked up on the south side of the brewery and a large stand pipe giving excellent water pressure has been arranged by the company. This brewery sold 85000 barrels of beer last year and Mr. Jetter says he expects to do a great deal more when his capacity is increased. As it {8 now he says he can find i market for all the beer he can make with his present machinery. A Ploasant Surprise Party. Mr. P. 8. Casey was quite a surprised man when he leisurely walked into his residence at Twenty-third and J strets about 9 o'clock Friday night. Instead of finding the usual quiet he found a large company of friends and neighbors who had arranged a surprise party and succeeded in keeping the news from him. The evening was happily spent in music, cards and dancing, and at the proper hour Mrs. Casey gave the guests a most palatable luncheon. Aside from their South Omaha friends there were present Richard Welsh, Peter Murray and John Dolan of Omaha; Joseph Maher, Corning, Ia.; James Trumble, Lincoln, and Miss Mamio Higgins and Miss Katle Weish of Omaha, Magle City Gossip. Charley Hayes, the man who was fined $10 in the police court for vagrancy, denies that he has ever conspired against the amblers here. He has given a bond for is appearance in the district court, The soclety of Kings Daughters will give a dollar social and entertainment at the residence of Mrs. W. B. Cheek next Thurs- day evening. Each lady will explain In verse how she earned her dollar. Refresh- ments will be served and an admission fee of 25 conts charged. The city council met at 11 o'clock yesterday morning as a board of equalization, but ad- Journed without transacting any business until Tuesday. They met to equalize on the proposed grading of Q street from Twenty-second to Seventeenth street. Any complaints must be filed with the eity clerk in writing between now and Tuesday even- ing. The funeral services over the remains of the late R. J. Saxe will be held from the Methodist church this afteraoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C. N. Dawson will preach the funeral sermon. The remains were taken to the residence of Mr., W. G. Sloan at Twenty- second and H streets and the members of the family will start from there. Mr. A W. Saxe arrived yesterday and D. W. will arrive this morning. B. Koeny called at the police station last night and asked for a warrant for the arrest of his neighbor, Mrs. John Peterson, whom he claims has threatened to burn his home. It seems that the Petersons aud the Koenys o not get along well together, and inasmuch as it appeared to be a neighborhood quarrel Judge Christman refused to issue the war- yant, but said he would have the chlef in- westigate the complaint at once.

Remalins of ry Grebe Consigned to the Grave. “Earth to earth; ashes to ashes, peace be to his soul,”” were the words which con- wigned the mortal remains of Henry Grebe to their last resting place, and the final dis- pensation was sald for the commitment of his soul to the mercy of its aker, More than 500 old settlers, city and county officials and citizens assembled at the Ma- sonlc hall on Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue yesterday afternoon to pay thelir last respects to a friend and nelghbor who had enjoyed thelr esteem for so many years. The funeral services were directed by Capital Masonic lodge No. 3, Anclent, Free and Accepted Masons, which was assisted by Al- lemanen lodge No. 8, Independent Order of 0dd Fellows, of which orders the deceased was a member of high standing. he body was placed in state in the Masonic hall, where it was viewed by hundreds of friends during the day. The flag on the county bullding was lowered to half mast and the sherifi’'s offica was closed all day out of respect to Mr. Grebe's memory. The floral designs were very beautiful. A profusion of fragrant flowers were placed around the bier, among which was a bank of white and pink roses from Capital lodge. Royal Arch chapter; a disk of flowers with “Friendship, Love and Charity,” and three links in_the center, from th: Odd Fellows of lodge No. $; a_floral trlangle from Omaha chapter No. 1, Royal Arch Masons; a cluster of lilies from Mr. and Mrs. John Prey, floral compass and square from Capital lodge of Masons, large bunch of white roses from Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Drexel, a wreath from Willlam Coburn, an anchor and cross from the employes of the sh s office and a laurel crown from Mrs. C. J. Karbach During the day a touching inc ent occurred. An elderly man came into the room, and, going up to the coffin, gazed for a short time at the features of the d ceased, after which he took an old, faded photograph from his pocket and compared the lkeness with the real features, He then took from the lapel of his coat a pretty white rose, laid it on the coffin lid, nd after breathing a silent prayer left the room with tears streaming down his cheeks No one knew who the gentleman was, but it was afterward learned that he was Dr. Reyner of Nebraska City, and the picture which he had was of himself and the d ceased which had been taken years ago when both were young men and members of the territorial legislature, ~ They were clos friends fn those days, but as their lines of life drifted apart they saw little of each other. After the visitor left the room one of the Masonic guards unfastened the lid and placed the rose in Mr. Grebe's hand, where it remalned. The pall beaters were: L. G. Heybrook, J. W. Lyttle, J. R. Quoney, A. D. Jones, Henry Lehman, C. Schwindler, W. F. Loren- zen and Henry Bolln, Master Mason G. W. Lanning of Capital lodge presided over the services and the sermon was delivered by Rev. H. W. Kuhns of the Lutheran church, who was a personal friend of the deceased. His subject was on death and the final awakening, and he spoke eloquent words of comfort to the friends and relatives. He described the charitability and Kindness of Mr. Grebe during his life, and gave a brief history of his official career. His remarks were concluded by an earnest supplication for the eternal peace of the soul of his friend and neighbor. The impressive Masonic ritual was per- formed, after which the remains were fol- lowed by a large number of friends to the Prospect Hill cemetery, where the interment took place. Henry Grebe W born at Kainbach, province of Hes n. Germany, May 25, 1828, He came to the United States in 1850, landing in New York City, July 1. From New York he went to Wheeling, W. Va., where he worked in a carriage shop until April, 1853, During that year the d ceased moved to Davenport, Ia. and re- mained in Scott county until May, 1857, when he moved to Nebras! settling at Florence June 11, 1857. In November, 1861, Mr. Grebe moved to Omaha and engaged in the wagon making business. He was a member of the territorial legislature in 1860, 1861, 1863 and 1864. He was also city treasurer of Florence in 1859, From April, 1863, to April, 1864, Mr. Grebe was a member of the Omaha city council. In 1869 he was elected sheriff of Douglas_county, and retained that position until 1873, In 1875 the deceased was appointed a mem- ber of the constitutional convention. In anuary, 1878, he was appointed deputy sheriff under George H. Guy, which position he held for four years, and was then firs! deputy under Sherift Dave N. Miller for the same period of time. When William Co- burn was elected sheriff Mr. Grebe was his deputy for two years. Sherifft Boyd like- wise made Mr. Grebe lis deputy, as did also Sheriff Drexel. Mr. Grebe was marricd in Davenport, Ia., April 24, 1855, to Miss Emilie Louise Cor- nella Kroeger of Davenport, a daughter of a prominent Lutheran minister. Seven chil- dren were born of this marriage, and three survive. They are: Louls, Henry and Theodore, all residing in this city. L MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES. Manuer in Which the Day s to Be Ob- served. The committee of the Grand Army of the Republic having in charge the matter of addr has prepared the following on Memorial day exercises: . In accoraance with the honored custom of past years, the exercises of 1894 will con- sist of sermons delivered before the Grand Army on Sunday, May 27; addresses made to all of the public and parochial schools of the city by members of the Grand Army, all speaking upon the theme, ‘Why We Ob- serve Memorial Day,’ on Tuesday afternoon, May 20, and the formal exercises and ad- dress at one of the parks on Memorial day, May 30. Rev. T. J. Mackay, himself an old” soldier and a member of U. S. Grant post No. 110, has invited his post to listen to a sermon at All Saints church on the Sunday prior to Memorial day. The post will march from headquarters in uniform with colors flying “Grant post has the honor of having in ts membership Comrade T. arkson, who first suggested the patriotic service of having members of the Grand Army address the public schools on the last school day prior to Memorial day. This idea was adopted quickly all over the north and is most inspiring. To another member of Grant post belongs the honor of calling at- tention to the fact that prior to 1893 the Catholic schools had never been invited to gather flowers for Memorial day, or to I ten to addresses by old soldiers. He ar- ranged it last year that parochial schools should foin in the movement, which they did with the utmost pride and patriotism, Teachers in the schools should bear in mind that the Grand Army is not an army of orators. Many of them may be, but the majority are not. The majority of them ac- cept the detail to speak with the utmost difidence and us a patriotid duty, and the teachers are urged to allow no other ad- dress whatever.Patriotia nongs and short reck tations add to the interest of the occasion. The old soldier in Grand Army uniform Is an object lesson in patriotism, and his sim- ple story of marches, of batties, of prisons and privations is eloquent enough to reach the hearts of the children. “The ranks of the Grand Army are rapldly thinning. The infirmities of the soldiers are rapidly increasing. They are no longer able to parade for long distances, and this year there will be no down-town parade on Memorlal day. It {s to be hoped that the Young Men's Christian association will not lend its influence this year as they did last to desecrate this Sabbath of the Grand Army, this their holy day, and to make it a holiday for games.’ e Looking for Entertalun During the first week In June the Congre- gational Home Misslonary soclety will hold its annual convention In this ecity. It Is thought that fully 500 delegates will be in attendance, and that they may be accomo- dated M. J. Kennard, chairman of the com- mittee on entertainment, with rooms In the New York Life building, has asked that pri- vate families and first-class boarding houses oty him at once of the number of de gates which they will take, and also the prices to be.charged. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY IN THE REAL ESTATE WORLD Bottom Prices Reached and Now There is an Upward Tendency. WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE SITUATION Prominent Dealers Express Thelr Opinions ~ Upon Omaha Realty, the Canal and Country Ronds—Notes and Personuls, There seems to be no doubt but that Omaha real estate is more sought after now than at any time during the past cighteen months, While there is not an active mar- Ket, It is nevertheless true that conservative men—and that term means a great deal in Omaha—are looking up property with a view to purchase. The sale of the Dellone hotel last week by Messrs. Finley & Kent to G. W. Wattles of the Union National bank and Henry F. Cady of the Chicago Lumber com- pany was the most considerable transaction of the year. The price paid was $125,000 and the property will be Neld as an Invest- ment. There are several other large deals in process of consummation for improved properties which cannot be made public at this juncture. It is safe to say that the worst s over with regard to Omaha realty and that the immediate future will strengthen values considerably. An agent in recounting his recent experience in nego- tiating deals gave an Instance of returning confidence of property owners. A corner on Leavenworth, near Sixteenth street, with a good_modern’ house, was offered to a party for $15,000, which was regarded cheap for the " property. The Intending purchaser offered $10,000, which was refused, and $500 was added and alzo refused. The owner riously considered the last proposition, but ter consulting good authoritics on present values he withdrew his property from the market. A prominent officer of the Omaha Na- tional bank sald one day last week that that itution was Inclined to purchase good investment properties. “A man can do bet- ter now in buying Omaha property than in putting money in any other class of se- curity, in my opinio id he. “A hundred thousand dollars put in good property now means a_greater per cent of increase than any bond security can possibly offer. I regard ‘almost any inside property in this city a good purchase at prevailing prices, While the real estate men have not lost confidence, the dull market has led them to believe that even ‘snaps’ could mot be dis- posed of. We feel that times will improve from this on, and, speaking for myself, will declare that no man can offer me a good thing without a strong probabliity of his being taken up.” Messrs. George N. Hicks and George W. Ames have been very active the past three or four weeks on the canal project, and to their efforts is largely due the raising of the requisite $250,000 stock, which was deemed necessary to be subscribed before going to the public on the bond propo- sition. ~As is well known, $3,000,000 is the estimated cost of the canal. The company will ask a $1,000,000 subsidy from Douglas county, which, with the $250,000 subscribed stock, will leave $1,750,000 to raise by bonds, which Herman Kountze declares can be casily done. This gentleman has undertaken to negotiate that amount, and his guarantes is equivalent to an almost absolute cer- tainty. - A “Tacoma business man in town last week said that Omaha was regarded in the west as the best town In the transmis- souri country. “The place which first puts forward a substantial effort to interest capital ecither east or west of it will get the bulk of the idle money of this country,” said he. “I regard Omaha as the town most likely to accomplish this result for a number of reasons which are apparent {o even a casual cbserver. Iis gedraphical position, its commercial importance, which is already considerable, its railroad facilities its manufactorles, its iive stock industries, all induce me to think that you have a winner here it you only knew it.”” The suggestion of City Engineer Rose- water in a recent issue of this paper re- garding county romls has attracted con- siderable discussion among real estate men which has been mostly favorable to the scheme of that gentleman, While the pro- Ject is mot original, it Is entirely practic- abla and has been used in Burope for hundreds of years with greatly advantageous resulis. After the death of Henry IIT of France, in 1589, the country was about bankrupt, and commerce and husbandry en- tirely neglected. Upon the accession of Henry the Great, under the administration of his prime minister, the duke of Sully, a system of public improvements was in- augurated which, among other things, com- prehended bullding country roads leading into towns of considerable size. The effect was almost immediately felt, and advan- tageously. Should Mr. Rosewater's idea be acted upon, not only all of Douglas county would market in Omaba, but contiguous counties in the west would also make this city their market town instead of Fremont and smaller places. Another feature which is cqually valuable would be the enhance- ment of real property values outside of town for a distance of ten to fifteen miles out. Country residences, small fruit and vegetable farms, would increase in number and all add to the wealth and prosperity of the county. Real Estate Notes. The Schlitz Brewing company of Milwau- kee will build immediately a two-story building, 60x88 feet, on the corner of Six- teenth and Harney streets, next to the com- pany's present building. A prominent real estate agency is figuring to largely increase its business facilities by removing to a larger office and employing a greater force of men. A real estate agent received notice last Thursday from a correspondent that a Bos- ton man would be in Omaha this week with $100,000 for investment in Omaha property. J."J. Gibson sold to C. S. Johnson last Friday a residence on Wirt street in Kountze Place for §7,500 cash. Hon. A. J. Hanscom is talking of building a five-story building on Harney strect near Fourteenth. Reo for the Week.

Here dwelt the old Athenian intellect, in- vestigating and almost reverencing the fruits of aesthetics, of ingenuity, and of intellect- ual and materfal advancement. It was the keen spirit of inquiry observed in the City of the Violet Crown by no less a personage than St. Paul, who found its people always eager to hear and to tell of some new thing. Even the buildings, which rose like vast xhalations from the prairie, were not cast in the moulds of basilicas, cathedrals, castles or palaces, for in all their outlines they exhibited the Greek spirit of perfect beauty Another aspect not generally reflected upon, and, indeed, hardly recognized, was the ruling color of the scene, which was equally in harmony with the days and opinions of Ictinus and his contemporaries, and the era of the Pericles. The question of the coloring of the exposition buildings was one of very great consequence, and had many sides and aspects, The use of a variety of tints might have given a plcturesque diversity to the scene; or the employment of strong primary tints might have resulted in almost oriental splendor, which visitors from over seas might have translated as barbaric. On the other hand, the painters might have used a clear white, suggestive to some of the Heavenly City and to others of the calcimining brushes of Afro-American white-washers. It was fortunately decided, however, to seek above all else harmony, unity and re- pose in this great feature. They decided against the blinding white of Algiers, the travertine tints of Rome, the yellow of Paris, the sooty hues of London, the black of old Aberdeen, the red of Boston, the ka- leidoscope of New York. Afar off on the shores of the Mediterranean, in the land of classic beauty, stood the temples of the Acropolis, majestically outlined against the deep blue sky of Greece. In those lone ruins of dead ages there abode an eternal fairness of coloring (no less than of form) which had for more than twenty centuries satisfied and delighted the eyes of millions. Under the arching skies of Illinois, no less fair, and hard by the blue expanse of Lake Michigan, our modern men resolved to re- produce the cornerstone of the Parthenon, giving Minerva’s new temples of wisdom the semblance of her deserted shrine on the Athenfan heights. Note, now, what marvelous care they took to secure in perfection even this minor trait of their-work, Their director of deco- ration, Frank D. Millet, had been a dweller amid the classic scenes of the Greek penin- sula, and had exchanged many a salutation and’ conversation with gentlemen, officers and peasants (Flellas, intheir native tongue, gven yet so ke that of Aristides and Homer. On his last trip to Greece this versatile artisi secured a block of Pentelic marble and brought it home to America. Here, then, was a section of the very material from which the Parthenon was _ built, the precious marble of Mount Pentelicus, with its pure quarry whiteness warmed as usual into a softer tint by faint traces of iron in its composition. Thence resulted a color of ngular beauty and tenderness, not dazzling even under the clearest sunlight, and yet showing forth a marvelous purity. After re- peated attempts with various pigments this desired hue was imitated with exact, pre- cision, and then rivers and lakes of it ‘were applied to the enormous areas of buildings surrounding the lagoon. Many of the inconsidered problems of the Columblan fair have an equal interest with this, and they are handled with great spirit and literary skill in the new *“Book of the Builders." "Under the skillful pens of the directors, Burnham and Millet, the joint au- thors of the book, each successive episode is treated with winning grace, so that the entire story is one of the most enthralling in modern literature. It is also superbly illustrated by the most notable series of plictures ever assembled in America, made up, not of flat-fronten photographs of the buildings (now certainly sufficiently familiar), but fron paintings from the greatest artists, representing the choicest charms of the fair. The Bee's moble Popular edition of the “Book of the Builders,” made entirely for us, is now offered to our readers at a nominal price, as our advertising columns show. One of the most valuable lessons of the fair (which is still so near us that its true majesty is not duly perceived) consists in the minute care devoted to details like this one_of color. The combination of elements studied with such painstaking care and exe- cuted with equal precision, produced a result which will be for many a year the amaze- ment and delight of the world, i S T Special sale of leghorn hats this week at Bliss'.
