Dr. R, M. Btevenson, pastor of the Sec- ond Presbyterian church, who has been elected vice president of Bellevue college, ia at work on a plan 10 increase the reve- nues of that college. He has prepared cards to be signed by residents of Omaba promising to give §1 4 month to the college for one year from the date of signing and 18 presenting them to the businese men of the city, who are generally signing them. Speaking of the plan Mr. Stevenson said “In round figures it requires $25,000 & year to maintain Bellevue college. The re celpts from tuition are approximately $15,- 000, leaving an annual deficit of $10,000, which heretofore has been made up by con- tributions from friends of the colleee iu other places, gemerally, than Omaha. In the last three years we have erected three new buildings, and two of them are being used. The money for these bulldings came principally from Pennsylvania, which has also rupplied the greater part of the annual deficit. This money has been secured largely by Dr. Kerr and I think, with sev- eral others, that we should relieve him of some of the burden “We send east every year, in the news- papers and circulare, a statement of the prosperous condition of Nebraska, but when our eastern friends call upon us to show what we are doing for Bellevue college we bave to admit that it is practically nothing and that we still depend upon them for support. Relleves Eastern C. ntributors. “This 18 not as it should be and I have started out with the idea that I can secure pledges of $1 a month for one year from 500 people in the city, thus giying us a fund of $6,000 to apply on the deficit and reducing by that amount the money which has hitherto been raised in the east. *“There is a fund of $2,000 which will be available for the college as soon as we have raised $2,600, and we need the amount badly. At the boy's dormitory we now have four in some of the rooms and this is so un- pleasant to the students that some of them | will leave unless we can change the condi- | tion. At the same time we have a new bullding which is lying idle because we have Dot the funds with which to tfurnish it. When we get the $2,600 necessary we can use $4,500 to furnish the buflding and will have sufficient room for our work. ““8o far I have met with considerable suc- cess and believe there will be no dificulty in securing the amount, but it s a matter in which every friend of education should be interested and if we can secure 1,000 pledges instead of 500, our diffculties will be practically removed.” Amusements. ———————————————— At the Boyd.

Thompson, a drugglst of Dan- ville, Ind., gives the following wholesome advice to his customers: “If you should ever need a remedy for croup or whooping cough, get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It absolutely has no equal for the preven- tion and cure of croup, and if takem in time and according to directions, it s a most excellent remedy for whooping cough and all throat and lung troubles. I would recommend that a bottle of this medicine be kept in the home at all times, especially where there are children in the family. W.

The attention of the city officials was street viaduct by a letter from C. A. Pratt, chief engineer of the Armour plant in this city. Mr. Platt declares that the middie and west end wooden spans of the Q street viaduct are in a dangerous condition. He urther says that the street car tracks are uneven and that motor trains often run over this portion of the bridge at nearly full speed. ““This speed,” says Mr. Pratt, “brings a tremendous strain upon the wooden spans, which are partially rotted away.” Some time ago the attention of the city authorities was called to the condition of the viaduct by the newspapers, and it was asserted at the time that the rallroads would be asked to make immediate repairs. | Matters ran along for a month or so and then it was given out by the railroads that material had been ordered for the repairs. W. S. King, chief engineer of the Union Stock Yards company, was authority for this statement. He said the material had to come from Oregon and he could mot say just when it would arrive. In addition to the complaint of Engineer Pratt about the condition of the bridge he | says that the street car tracks are umeven d thus endanger the lives of those crose- ing in crowded cars. In looking up the city records it was found that the bridge was never meant for street car trafic at the time it was en- acted. When the people in the southwest- ern part of the city wanted a street car line they were willing to give up every- thing, so it seems, in order to get the line | through. One of the old Third ward rep- | resentatives in the council at that time, J. J. Ryan, secured the passage of an or- dinance declaring the street car company | exempt from all repairs for & long term ot | years providing the line was extended. | Since that time the new charter has been in effect and a decision of the supreme the duty of rallroads to keep the viaducts in repair, ete. Now the great trouble seems to be about | the laying of tracks on the Q street viaduct. Engineers consulted yesterday assert that if the raflroad companies would repair the | bridge properly the street car company should be compelled to lay its tracks on a | 1evel with the roadway and not have them | trom three to six inches above the planks | used by teams. “This,” said an engineer who lopked over the ground with a Bee re- “could be averted by the laying of a double foor. The street car company uses a T rail, and if a double floor wi 1aid, which should be done, the ralls would not project above the flooring, providing the company was compelled to lay & floor- ing between the tracks.” It was asserted by city officials last night that unless improvements on the viaduct commerice soon the structure will be closed to traffic. City Firemen Dance. | porter, At the the troop armory ball last night the members of the paid fire department of South Omaha gave their thirteenth an- nual ball. There was a large attendance, the hail being crowded from the time of the opening dance until the orchestra played “Home, Sweet Home." All of the members of the department appeared in uniferm and presented a fine appearance. Arrangements were made by Chief Etter that in case of a fire an alarm ehould be sent direct to the hall by private wire and the hose companies were in shape to respond immediately. In homor of the occasion the hall was | decorated with flags and potted plants and the music was excellent. The net progeeds of the ball will be turned into the Fire- men's Rellef association. Hard Coal Arrives. Several cars of anthracite coal arrived here yesterday. It was all of the range size and eestern dealers write here that there is mo prospect Of getting chestnut coal west of the river before February 1 It appears that range coal is all that is being shipped now. In many cases this will prove & hardship to South Omaha con- sumers of anthracite, as chestnut size is generally desired. The range cosl now on the market is selling at §1¢ a ton. Martia Funeral Services. Yesterday afternoon at the First Meth- odist Episcopal church, Twenty-third and N streets, Re M. A Head delivered a sermon over the remains of E. L. Martin, one of the ploneers of Nebraska. The members of Bee Hive lodge of the Masons and also members of the local Grand Army post attended the services. Many of the old timers in this section also attended. Following the services the remains were taken to Bellevue for interment. Merry-Go-Ro Club. The Merry-Go-Round club will give its annual winter picnic at the home of Mrs. 8. C. Shrigley, Twenty-third and E streets, Saturday of this week. This club was or- ganized a number of years age by a couple of dozen prominent young soclety girls and the apoual meeting has been kept up. An enjoyable entertainment is promised | those who have invitations. Heavy Draft Horses Wanted. Horse dealers at the stock yards say there is demand from the east for heavy draft borses. The supply in the west is being drawn upon at this time to supply the eastern demand. Several cars of heavy horses were shipped east yesterday and buyers are still looking over Nebraska and Kansas and western lowa for more. As for the lighter weight borses there is little demand here at the present time. Magic City Goss Slate roofing was being placed on the new Albright school yesterday.
