HIS CAREER ONE OF WORK AND SUCCESS From Small Beginning He Succeeds in Duflding Up One of the L est Stores in the We erm States, Jonas L. Brandels, the founder of the Bos- ton Store, passed away at § o'tlock yesterday morning after an fliness of elght weeks, during which he has steadily lost strength. He was the victim of a complication of kid- ney troubles, which has affected his health tor several years, and made necessary sev- eral visits to the medical springs of south- ern Europe. During his last illness Mr. ‘ Brandels has had the attendance of sev- eral prominent physicians and Dr. O. 8 Hoffman has been constantly with him They have for some time been able to give 00 _hope. The members of the family, with the ex- eeption of the youngest son, Hugo H. Bran- dels, have been with the father to the end. Mr. Hugo Brandels and wite are in Europe, baving started before the fatal character of the attack became known. They have been cabled for and will be here in a few days. The funeral will be held from the resi- 2626 Dodge street, at 2:30 o'clock Bunday afternoon. Mr, Hugo Brandels, who has been re- #alled from Burope, will reach Omaha on Baturday. Native of Auntria. Mr. Brandels was 67 years old and had 1tved In this country forty-nine years, com- ng to the United States from Austria in his A6th year. He was born in the little Aus- trian village of Lieben, being one of a family of twelve sons, of which he was the qast remaining member. Two of the brothers were lost to Mr. Brandeis during the last year. After being in this country seven years he met in Milwaukee Miss Fanny, Teweles and in June, 1860, they were married in that eity. To them were born four chil- dren, three sons and one daughter, all of whom survive their father and are resident in this city. They are: Arthur D. Bran- dels, living at 212 South Seventeenth stree Emil Brandeis, who made his home with hi father at 2626 Dodge street; Hugo H. Bran- deis, residing at 3019 Pacific street, and Mrs. Cohn, wife of Herman Cohn of the Nebraska Clothing company, resident at 116 South Thirty-second avenue. Mrs. Braudels aleo is left to mourn her husband. Shortly atter coming to the United States Mr. Brandels found his way to the location of the present city of Manitowoc, Wis., which was then a tiny settlement in the heart of the Indian country. The young man went out among the Manitowocs and other nearby tribes and bartered with the natives for furs. He soon set up a small neral merchandise business, buying the furs which the Indlans brought in and being, as civilization advanced, tho first buyer of grain in that section. He figures prominently in “The History of Northern Wisconsin.” For about twenty-five years he continued in the Wisconsin town and then came to this city. § A wholesale notions business was entered inte at 1207 Farnam street, but after two or three years this was given up and “The Fair” started at the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Howard streets. The busi- ness growing to such a volume that it could not be accommodated, the new bullding was put up at the intersection of Sixteenth and Douglas streets and called “The Boston Btore.” Thig business was conducted under the name of J. L. Brandels & Sons. Mr. Bran has been a great travelor, crossing the Atlantic many times to visit his fatherland and other parts of the Old World. He took a prominent part in the work of getting up the Transmississippl exposition in 1898 and was one of the board of directors of that enterprise. He was at one time a member of the park board of the city. DECISION IN BENNETT CASE Stock of Bankrupt Company to Be in Departments or in Bulk. neas Career. The decision of Judge Munger In regard to the Bennett case reached Omaha from Lincoln yesterday. The decision reads that the application made by some of the creditors to continue the retail business of the store “be and is hereby denfed and sald trustee is hereby directed as soon practicable, and after giving the notice re- quired by law, to offer the assets of the ‘W. R..Beunett company for sale in depart- ments or in bulk, in his discretion, to scll the same to the highest bldder for cash.” The court orders that the doors of the store be kept open for the accommodation of those departments not owned by the Bennett company. The findings of Referee Clapp, on which the court's decision was founded, show that thirty creditors aggregating in claims $28,- 000 were in favor of continuing the retail business and 135 creditors aggregating $224,000 1n claims favored closing the store. His report showed that during the time the recelver was in charge of the store there was & profit of $9,403.72. ROURKE FIGHTS HIGHWAYMEN Omaha Magnate ‘Has Exciting Ex- perience §t.

Conley 1s alleged to have worked for a local firm and to have collected a number of bills for bis employers, the money from which he never turned in. He is also sald to have stolen a typewriter from the firm, which he sold here before making his d parture for the city in which he was ai rested. Chief Dunn expects to start for the prisoner as soon as the proper papers are prepared. Conley will be charged with embezzlement. Mrs, Johanna Soderholm of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm adver- tised for spralns and ' sorene: and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relleved her and enabled her to sleep, which had not done for several days. The son was 8o much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has siuce recommended it to many others. Announcements of the Theaters, With a matinee at the Orpheum this aft- ernoon and a performance this evening this week's bill, which has proven most satistactory and magnetic enough to draw a series of very large houses, will be brought to a close. It will be succeeded for the week commencing with a matinee tomorrow by a list of acts presented in most instances by artists who have not appeared at the local vaudeville house be- fore. Cole and Johnson are among the principals. In comedy they have met with much success. Clivette, the famous necro- mancer, besides his illusion, does a “stunt” in equilibrium and an exhibition of sha- dowgraphy, consisting of silhouettes cast on a screen by clever manipulations of the hand. Others are: The Columblan trio, pre- senting “The Wax Doll,” a musical fantasy; James H. Cullen, monologuist; Purcell and Maynard in an operetta called “The Bell Boy and the Prima Donna;" Dorothy Wal- ters, the well known whistler, and the kinodrome. To the many kind friends who sent beau- tiful flowers and manifested their sympathy for us in our sad bereavement in the death of a loving husband and father, we desire to publicly extend our thanks.

BRANDEIS—Jonas L., at family restdence. %28 Dodge street, Friday morning, Janu- UMQUE CHURCH BUILDING Details of Plans for New Edifioe of First Ohristian Orzanisation. SEATING CAPACITY OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED Star Feature of the Building Will Be Entertalnment Room, to Be Kept the Publle Every Week Day. Open for Architect John McDonald has completed the plans and perspective of the new First Christian church buflding to be erected at the southwest corner of Nine- teenth and Farnam streets in time for dedication December 1, 1903. It will be of gray pressed brick, with a seating capacity of 1,500, and, without pews, pipe organ or other furnishing, it will cost $40,000. Its extreme dimensions will be elghty- four feet on Farnam street by 122 feet on Niffeteenth street. Rev. Harry G. Hill, the pastor, who was an architect's assistant in his younger days and who is responsible in large measure for the design of the new bullding, says of it: “In appearance it will be as unique as it 1s in purpose. 1 know of no other church buflding like it, for it will have no epire or steeple, but a dome, and in general outline will suggest a library building, per- haps, more than a church. I don't know that it could be ascribed to any school ot architecture and certainly not to the Gothie, but it will be of pure classical style, none the less, and Imposing. “To begin with the basement, one enter- ing it at the Farnam street end finds upon his right a reading room, 18x21, and beyond that the game room, 14x19; on his left the pastor's reception room, 16x18, and the pas- tor's study, 1%x16. Star Feature of Bulldin “Advancing southward, he passes upon his right an assembly room, 32x20, and upon | his left the women's parlor, 30x17, and en- | ters the entertainment room, 60x80, a star feature of the bullding, affording oppor- tunity for meetings of any and all kinds. This room alone is as large as the old church building at Twentieth and Capitol avenue, and in it will be {ndulged the pro- posed ‘liberal’ features by which it s hoped to make the church a rendezvous for saints and sinners of all creeds through the week days. It is our intention to have the church open every day of the year and to:permit this room to be used for proper gatherings of any people for any proper public pur- pose. “The extreme south end of the basement will be occupled by a kitchen, 19x13, the boller room, a plunge bath, 25x13, a shower bath and the toilet roqms. “Coming up to the first floor, the visitor finds three vestries, one 6x13 at #e north- west corner, the principal one 14x38 on the east side at the Farnam street end and a small one on the same side near the south end. The Main Auditorfum, “In order to deaden the sound of the cars, the auditorium, containing 600 seats, is placed at the south part of the bullding and between it and the Farnam street wall are not only the Sunday school auditorium, but six class rooms, all the latter measur- ing about 16x16. Between the main audi- torlum and the Sunday school auditorium there is a rolling partition, and the same arrangement between the Sunday school auditorium and the class rooms, so that in less than five minutes’ time the entire first floor may be converted into one great room, the view obstructed by no more serious ob- stacle than an occasional small partition pillar. Covering the north end and the north half of both sides of the bullding there is to be a gallery. The auditorfums and the gallery give a seating capacity in pews of 1,200. With the cl rooms opened and chairs placed in vacant places the church could easily accommodate 1,500, and all within sight and hearing of the speaker in the pulpit. Pipe Organ and Chofr, “Our pipe organ will occupy the south- west corner of the first floor, with the cholr between it and the audience. A space 15x 20 it allowed the Instrument and more for the choir. The extreme southeast cor- ner of the first floor will be occupled by two robing rooms, each 8x9. They are reached from the small vestry by hall, and from them the candidate for immersion can step directly across the hall and through a small side corridor into the baptistery. “The roof will be confeal except that di- rectly over the center of the auditorium will be an opening twenty-six feet in dlameter, which narrows only slightly till it reaches the skylight at the apex of the dome. The light from this will reach every part of the room on the ground floor and the arrangement will have the further ad- vantage of giving an admirable ventilation. Over the Sunday school auditorium is a square skylight and a similar arrang ment for ventilation. The fiaishing of the church will be plain Lady Wants Position, A young lady with excepfional reference and ability wishes & position with good house as cashler or office employe.

GIVES DOETORS A CALLING] Health Commissiener Ralph Says They Must Observe New Rules. INSISTS UPON MORE COMPLETE REPORTS City Health Department Wants to Be Informed Promptly of Chicke: pox, Typhold Fever, Tuber- culosis and Measles. One of the requirements of the new health ordinance provides that attending physiclans shall report all cases of ¢ en- pox, typhold fever, tuberculosis and measles under the same regulations that apply to those more malignantly contaglous dis- eases—diphtheria, smallpox and scarlet tever—and this rule Health Commissioner Ralph intends shall be rigidly enforced, even though it should be necessary to ap- ply to the courts for assistance. Speaking of this matter Dr. Ralph said: “While we were having our great trouble with smallpox last winter I found that a number of cases of that disease had been mistaken by the attending physicians for chickenpox and permitted to run for one or two weeks before our department even learned of their existence. In every in- stance of that kind of course large numbers of persons were without their knowledge exposed to contagion, while the true na- ture of the disease was in uncertainty, and our trouble in stamping out smallpox was greatly increased. At that time 1 requested the physiclans to report all susplcious cases to this office and a number of them complied with my request, but others did not. In ‘the late summer I sent out a printed postal card to every physiclan in this city making an urgent request that all cases of chickenpox, measles, typhold fever | and tuberculosis be reported to the office | the same as diphtheria, smallpox and scar- ; let tever. “On October 1 there was not a case of smallpox in this city, and we were just congratulating ourselves upon our free- Get in before closes.
