On June 30, 1898, the last day on which instruments could be filed without revenue stamps belng afixed, sixty-nine deeds and thirty-two mortgages were placed on record. For two weeks past—with the exception of March 7, which was a stormy day—the transfers of real estate have been showing well. There have been few large sales, but a steady stream of small transactions, ural to a market in which buying of homes has been the chief feature, This period, however, has been quiet in the veal estate offices on account of the snow and bad weather. Three of the transfers recorded on Mon- day were made last summer, and there are reasons to believe that a number of other |sales that have been made in recent months have not yet been placed on record. One owner of a large quantity of valuable prop- erty in the west end of town has sold five iesidence lots since January 1, not one of which has vet been recorded, and several other instances of this kind may be cited Real estate men frequently” ropart that they have heard of sales of which they have seen no record. An interesting theory was advanced yesterday by one agent (o explain this condition of affairs. He was talking about the blg rush to flle deeds | before the revenue law came into effect, and he suggested that mauy people might be holding back their deeds until after July 1, when the new revenue law becomes operative, since under the new law con veyances where the amount is below $2,600 will be exempted from taxation and on larger amounts the tax will be materially reduced In addition to the heavy transfers there Las been a marked increase in activity in the real cstate offices this last week of March. Ono rental agent advertised au eight-room house in one of the most de- sirable parts of town in Sunday's Bee and had two score of applications for It the next morning. All agents report that ad- vertising brings replies nowadays as it never did before. | Railroad Files Its Deeds. Three deeds were recorded on Monday and another on Saturday last, which recall the fight between the Burlington and the Northwestern Rallway companies for track- age on Eighth street, between Dodge and Farnam The deeds represent the purchase of four lots, each having 132 feet east frontage on South Eighth street, by the Burlington road after the Northwestern had laid tracks along the west side of this street. The four 1uts cover the entire distance from Farnam street to Howard. The Burlington has tracks up the two alleys between Far- nam and Harney and between Harney and Howard, but In this latter case the tracks up the alley have not yet been connected, as the Northwestern s guarding its own tracks on Eighth street. The Northwests orn, on the other hand, is unable to com- pleto it tracks on Eighth wheie they cross the Burlington track up the other alley for { @ similar reason | In some respects the lots adjoining these | trazks. in tbe two blocks between Farnam and Howard and between Eighth and Ninth, would be especially valuable if the raile road companies could settle their differ- ences.

Mr. Cosgrove Intends to bulld on his slice two two-story modern seven-room brick residences facing west and two others similar to them facing east. They will be what are sometimes described as semi-de- tached dwellings; that Is to say, two houses will be built together, but each with one side wall unattached. There will be about twenty-five feet between the rear of each pair of houses and space for a walk on cach side. Mr. Cosgrove has for some time been seeking for such an opportunity of invest- ment and he belleves that he will be able to make property of this kind yield a suff clent return. Conl Company B The C.

He stands 6 feet 3 inches high and weighs 265 pound When a youngster, back in Pennsylvania, he ran away from school because the other children made fun of his ragtzed clothes and bired himself out for 10 cents a day and board.
