OFFICIAL TABLES SHOW COST Wilful Willle Wolfe's Wanderlust While Wolng Wild, Works Wayward Wanderer’s Windup. The activitles of the varlous contractars for paving materfal have led some of them to present to the residents of the clty vari- ous propositions highly tempered by the Kkind of material eagh company desires to use. The complete tabulation of the bids by the city engineer and the completion of the total sheet showing exactly what each Dbl will cost leaves no ropm for further argument. Those contractors who wish to show matters as they really are can get the blue prints of the total sheet and show the residents exactly what the cost of each class of paving will be. The warlous paving materials show a range of fully 50 per cent In cost. For instance, the cost of paving Twentieth street from N to § street.will be $20,500 it paved with creokote’ wood block, but the cost, . if paved with Portiand cément con- crete, will bo as low as $13,038 Vitritied paving block is about the mean between the above classcs, with a cost of §21,520 for a recommended class of ourbing. Sheet asphalt would cost about $28461 with a combined ‘curb and gutter of Portland cement. Asphaltic concrete Would cost The property owners must consider the kind of material to be used as well as the cost. It is' not unreasonable that they should demand an explanation of the merits of all classes of paving before signing peti- tions for any class. The petitions must all be presented to the council within thirty days after the time the bids are approved Willle Wolfe Wanders Away.

Rabbi Cohn Pays Honor to Parker High Tribute to Great American Preacher is Voiced at Temple Israel, “Although Theodore Parker lles buried in a distant clime, I predict that some day his body will be brought to America,” said Rabbl Frederick Cohn at Temple Israel last evening in speaking of the life and work of Theodore Parker. “August %, 1910, will be the centenary of the birth of Theodore Parker, who was great and moble and & true prophet, if ever there was one. He was born in Lexington, wicre the first battle of the revolution was fought. . He was self-educated and werked his way through Harvard and grad- uated from the divinity school in 1837, He served as a minister for some time, when he delivered his famous lecture on “The Transient and Permanent in Christianity” |at the ordinaion of a Unitarian minister in | South Boston, a sermop somewhat similar |to that delivered by Prof. Foster of Chi- cago on the functions of religlon. He was then denourced s a heretic and an infidc), |and Unitarlan ministers refused to ex: change pulpits with him. He was virtually | religlously ostracised. “In 1645 certaln gentlemen, and their names should be written in gold, met and passed the following resolutions: ‘That Rev. Theodore Parker shall have a chance to be heard In Boston.' And heard he was, not merely in Hoston, but in all America for the remuining fifteen years of his life. “Surday after Sunday thousands of all classes of men, rich and poor, flocked to {hear him.

Under the Four Wy morMen Held Up in Night Officers Take Suspect in Charge, but He Escapes in Spite of Bullets that Follow. WYMORE, Neb., Dec. 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—After four holdups in Wymore Frl- day night, the capture of a man suspected of the work was effected. He made his es- cape, however, whiie an officer was laking him to jail. At 6:30 tonight, as Pete Krustitek, a butcher employed by Tony Hirmon, wes going through the business part of town, he was stopped by a stranger, who de- manded money and called him vile names, Krustifek hit the fellow, and in the fight had his forefinger nearly bitten off. The tellow escaped. T. O'Hara, Burlington auditor, was held up and robbed of $4 by a masked man in the auditor’s office on the ground floor of the depot shortly afterward. O'Hara was working at a desk with one shaded light burning when the door opened. Turning, he was confronted with a revolver in the hands of a man with a handkerchiet tled over the lower part of his face. There were many people about the depot at the time. Mike Aronea, a machinist employed days by “the Burlington, was getting coal at the chutes about 7 o'clock when he was held up by two masked men. One held a 1e- volver In Aronea’s face, while the other went through his clothes, getting 3 cents. Aronea returned to his bufik car a short distance from the rbundhouse, and hearing a commotion in the car next to his, went in and found the occupant, a foreign section man, in a dazed condition. He said that two men had come in his car and com- manded him to hold up his hands, pointing a revolver at him. He refused to obey the order and commenced to yell, when he was hit on the head with the butt end of the guh, the fellows running. At 8:45 Officer Schlangen arrested Ed or “Bish” Polak, an old offender, who has served time in the county jall and in the penitentiary, and who answers the rescrip- tions of the holdup man given by O'Hara and Aronea. Polak was in a pool hall, and at the door broke from the officer and ran Three revolver shots were fired at him and It 1s thought one took effect In the not been found.
