AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Charter Revision Committes May Go Before the Legislature, (MPROVEMENT BONDS ARE WANTED Committeemen Would Have Mission s Would \ City Hai. There is a movement to send a special committes of business men to Lincoln to submit to the legislature a proposition whereby the charter of South Omaha may be changed so to permit the oity coun- cil to issue general improvement bonds, the money derived from such issue to be de- voted to the construction of a sewer from Twentieth and N street to the iiver and the erection of a city hall bullding. About 45,000 also is wanted for permanent street repairs. In all, about $150,000 will be asked to defray the expenses of the lmprovements desired. At the present time the general bonded debt of South Omaha is $307,000, with a district debt of $215,000. It is considered good business policy, eay those who are —— ‘THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Fow People Know How 1t ts tn Freserving Health Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcual s the safest and most efMolent disinfectant nd purifier in nature, but few reali taken into the human system tor the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is & remedy that the mere you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but eimply absorbs the gases and impuri- ties nlways present in the stomach and in- testines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok- ing and drinking or after eating onlons and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the testh and further acts as & natural and eminemtly safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which col- lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin- fects the mouth and throat from the po'son of eatarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is Stuarts Ab- sorbent Losenges; they are comp. of the flnest powdered willow charcoal and other barmless antiseptics In tablet form, ratl in the form of large, pl ing losenges, the charcoal being mixed with boney. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it 15, that bo possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buftalo physiclan, bhenefita of charcoal, eays “I advise Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering trom gas In the stomach and bow- els, and to clear the complex! wnd purify the breath, mouth and threat; I also be- lleve the liver is greatly benmefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five o & box at drug stores, and although in some sense & patent preparation, yet I be- i 1 get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent Losenges than ia any of | the charcosl tablets.” its | in speaking of the | behind the move, to get an issue of general bonds, bulld a sewer or two, erect a city hall and repair all the paved streets. It Is asserted that bonds now can be sold at a low rate of interest and that the overlap can be provided for in the same issue, thus cutting down the interest fund. In this connection some of the members of the councll have been corresponding with ofties of the same class In other states. In some instances it is found that the fire and po- lice departments are better provided for and that there are more miles of paved streets, while the levy is higher. While the valuation of South Omaha i $16,000,000, that of Quincy, Mass., a city of 23,000 porulation, is $22,000,000. The levy there for running expenses is $177,000 a year and yot the city is in debt. From the comparison made, South Omaha Is not considered so badly off except in that it needs more public Im- provements, and as the taxpaying pubile knows, improvements cost monmey. Mayor Koutsky is holding down expenditures to the lowest notch and expects to show at the end of his first year in the executive chair a big saving as compared with former administrations. There is likely to be some opposition to the issuing of general bonds for $150,000, but the talk now is the calling of a mass meatjug for a general discussion of the matter. Collecting Taxes. During the month of December, 1902, City Treasurer Howe collezted city taxes to the amount of $90,137.46. This is the largest amount ever collected in a single month by the treasurer here. While some of the cor- porations paid in full, others took advant- age of the two payment clause in the char- ter. As a general thing, the small property owners paid in full. Treasurer Howe is now engaged in checking up bis books prepara- tory to issuing a call for outstanding war- rants. This call will be made about Janu- ary 15. Improvement Club Meeting. A meeting of the West Side Improvement club has been called for Monday evening at Maccabees hall, Thirty-elghth and Q streets. All members of the club as well as tho interested in the development of the south west portion of the city are urged to at- tend.

UNION FACTORY WAS POPULAR Rice Mercantile Cigar Company Did Big B Among the many manufacturing institu- tions which have made wonderful headway in the city of St. Louls can be mentioned the cigar factory of the F, R. Rice Mercan- tile Cigar company. This company has not only met with immense success on the “Mercantile’" 10-cent cigar, but also on the 305" and “Agent” 5-cent cigars, and there is no question that a great part of this rapid growth on the Mercantile and other brands of cigars is, to a great extent, due to the fact that the firm has not only got an elegant force of first-class salesmen, who are extremely popular with the trade and who are working with & full heart for the success of the firm, but also because the factory has ome of the best force of cigar makers. This feeling was clearly demonstrated when the firm found that they were unable to get enough first-class cigarmakers to 41l thelr orders. When they lald the matter before the cigarmakers they at once de- cided, being that they could not furnish enough men when the orders wero piling up in the house, that they would sacrifice a few of thelr Sundays and make an excep- tion, which has never been done before by the Cigarmakers' union, to work for a firm on a Sunday. The eales of the firm last year were the largest in the history of their busine and the increase is due to the fact that the tactory sbsolutely refuses to give out any schemes whatever elther in the way of free cigars, cigar lighters or cutters. Every- thing is added to the quality of the clg and the consumer will in the end find out which brands are sold on a strictly merit basis and which are sold on & scheme basls and will then select the merit cigars. A great many have visited the factory during the year and were impressed with the cleanliness and the workmen Also the fine Havana, that s worked in the factory, and it always affords the firm pleasure to escort anyone through the fac- tory who wishes to see it To Bulld an Electric Road, CLINTON, Ia., Jan. 10.—(Special)—The Tiinols & lowa Interurban Rallvay com- pany has 1M the contract for the construc- tion and equipping of an electric rallway between this city and Davenport.

The contract calls for the completion of the work within one year, but it is thought the line will be in operation by the first of next August. The line will be forty-two miles long and will follow the Mississipp! river nearly the en- tire distance. Fune of H. Hibba ‘The fuveral of H. 8. Hibbard of Irving occurred Baturday afternoon.

PRIMARIES TO BE HELD IN FEBRUARY Difference of Opinfon Exists Only as to Standard to Be Adopted in Apportioning Delegates to the Convention. It took the democratic ety central com- mittee just fifteen minutes in executive ses- sion last night to change the method of apportionment of delegates to the city con- vention from the arbitrary number of nine from each ward to a number per ward based upon the last vote cast, that for W. H. Thompson. candidate for governor. The setting of the date for the primaries as February 12 and of the convention for February 14 was a process equally brief, and after some additional business of a more routine type had been transacted, the com- mittee adjourned. Washington hall was the place set for the convention. The executive committee was empowered to change the dates. The apportionment matter fafled to bring forth the fight that had been expected. Twenty-five of the twenty-nine members of the committee were present or repre- sented by proxy. An early vote showed that fiteen of the twenty-five favored a change from the arbitrary system to the appor- tionment by vote. Following this came a vote as to whether the apportionment should be on the vote for Thompson for gov- ernor in 1502, or that for Poppleton for mayor in 1900. Fifteen stood for the Thompson gauge, ten for the Popplton. Apportionment Decided Om. As it was agreed to give one delegate for each seventy-five votes or fraction thereof cast, the new system allows 115 delegates at the convention, while formerly there have been bul eighty-one. The apportion- ment by wards Is: Thompson Vote. Dele First Second Third Fourth Fifth .. Sixth Seventh Eighth ... Ninth GEERE eRenZRE! Totals . P 8, 115 This apportionment gives a great increase of representation to the Second, Third and Sixth wards, almost sufficient to control the convention. The members of the com- mittee assert that there was absolutely no factional lining up on this matter, but that any difference of opinion as to the proper method and the proper vote to take as a busis resulted entirely from personal mo- ! tives among the different ward residents. In the absence of Chairman W. D. Gil- bert, C. L. West, chairman of the executive committee, occupled the chair. Secretary T. H. Comte was on duty.’ Stanley Leto- vsky's place on the executive committee was declared vacant, because of his change of political heart, and Olrich Jellen was | named on it in his stead. Places for Primaries. Places at which the primaries will held were named as follows: Fist Ward—1703 Bouth Tenth. | Fecond Ward—Fourteenth and Willlam Third Ward—1024 Dodge. Fourth Ward—Undecided. Fifth Ward—The first cigar stere south of Locust street on the east side of Six- teenth, Sixth Ward—Idlewild hall, Twenty-fourth and Grant, Seventh Ward—Twenty-seventh and Dor- cas. Blehth Wara_ti0 Cuming Ninth Ward—Fortleth and Cuming. CONDEMNED MEN ARE RETRIED Courts Take Second Hitch at Men Who Killed Man at Albert City, Towa. | | be STORM LAKE, Ia., Jan. 10.—(Special.)— The second trial of Albert Phillips, colored, and Lewis Brooks, white, for the murder of John Sundblad at Albert City, 18 in prog- ress here. The two men had engaged in the bank robbing business in northwestern Towa and were tracked to Albert City, where they and a third man, who was shot dead, were surrounded In the depot. The posse fired upon them and the fire was returned. Sundblad was the only one of the posse Kkilled. The men were convicted and sen- tenced to hang, but were given a new trial because the evidence failled to show what the supreme court would approve as pre- meditated murder. It is regarded as certain that the men will be convicted and probably of murder in the frst degree, in which case they will be again sentenced to hang. Fire May Prove Bl CEDAR FALLS, Ia., Jan. 10.—(Special.)— It is very probable that the fire which caused the $100,000 loss to the Great West- ern Cereal company at Fort Dodge will be the means of reopening the iaills of the company in this city, which were closed a few days previous to the fire. A score of men were thrown out of employment in the midst of the winter. The reason for closing the mill was the scarcity of oats in this vicinity, all having to be shipped in trom Fort Dodge territory. The Fort _— LOST SIGHT OF A Most Important Ald to Education. An important point often overlooked by parents in bringing up children is the use ot proper food as an ald to education. Children make wonderful progress when scientifically fed A little woman in East Brentwood, N. H., says of her girlhood days, “I was never very rugged and cold lunches and hearty even- ing meals and improper food soon began to work serlous havoc “Then came a period of sell-boarding while away at college and it is now easy to see where, in the haste to acquire knowl- edge the true knowledge of proper and| nourlshing food was neglected. The result, as may be imagined, was indigestion, dys- pepsia and constipation. Then followed a weary time of dieting and, one after an- other, physicians were consulted, till hope of permanent cure was abandoned. Then, two years after leaving school, I entered a new home as a bride and having grown wiser through experience, I resolved to use food in accordance with hyglenic principles. This was also necessary as I could not eat anything at all rich. “We commenced to use Grape-Nuts and soon became convinced that It the most nutritious food we could obtain. I noticed an immediate im¥provement in my health, my indigestion became less marked and eventually left me for good. “It {s now two years that we have eaten Grape-Nuts regularly, and I was never as well o my life as now. I have gained ten pounds In weight and can eat, without causing the slightest distress, the richest kind of food as well as anyone, the dys- | pepsia is entirely gone and constipation never troubles me. “This may not interest others, but it is of great interest to us, for it is our firm belief that my present good health s due solely to the constant use of Grape-Nuts and we feel that we have great reason to be thankful to the maker of such a per- tect and delicious food.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

REMOVAL BILL PASSES SENATE Only Five Votes Againat the Measure to Thirt Favor, PIERRE, §. D., Jan, 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The senate passed its first bill to- day and the same Is now in the house. The measure was one allowing terms of circuit court in other towns than county seats, which is almed especially at Charles Mix county. Valued policy insurance bills were intro- duced in both house and senate and in the senate an amendment to the tax law pro- viding for the assessment of the capital stock of banks. The senate, in executive session, con- firmed the following appointments by the governor: Mine inspector, Thomas Greg- ory, Lawrence; adjutant general, 8. J. Coak- lin, Clark; members of the Board of Re- gents, R. M. Slocum, Campbell, F. A. Spaf- ford, A, W. Burtt of Beadle; public exam- iner, E. E. Hemingway of Brookings; food and dalry commissiober, C. P. Sherwood of Kingsbury; veterinarian, J. P. Foster of Walworth. The house took up the Welch-Hanna con- test case and the majority report was adopted and Mr. Welch sworn in. Bills were introduced to provide for horse inspection: to appropriate $50,000 for an armory at the State university, and fixing the compensation of boards of commission- ers at §5 per day. The contest case in the house called out the first flights of oratory of the session, Bromley and Rodge speaking for the ma- jority report and Gross for the minority. Some tifae next week the anti-foot ball bill will be introduced, the women looking after this as they are their equal sufrage measure, which may be introduced as a straight amendment, and failing in this, they will test the initiative The capitol removal bill passed the sen- ate this afternoon by a vote of 39 to 6.

His contract calls for a roadbed for a standard guage road from this place as far as the Greybull river. The report cannot be confirmed, but the story is believed to be true for the reason that the branch was surveyed and grade stakes set last fall at which time the anpounce- ment was made that the road would be bullt in the spring.
