When it became. necessary to amend H. R 171, the predecessor of H.

The railroads have fought this one proposition as they have no other before this legislature. From long before the_gession began they have had their lobbfes and tax bureducrats busily en- gaged In promulgating war, In various forms, against this bill, which they could not help but see was persistently demanded by a large proportion of the people of Nebraska.

This bill'is a lively eorpse and-we-are not through fight- ing by-any means,” emphatically declared Representative Gilbert of Douglas county in* sphaking of fhe fate of H.

It is given out thata persistent, fight will be waged to, aécomplish this -end. The suggestion ha# been made that unless the Omaha char- ter I passed” this ‘could not be done, as the present Owmaha charter exempts rail- ropd termiaals from local taxation in the manner prescribed in this bill, but Mr. Gilbert takes issue with this view.

RAILROADS WIN TAX FIGHT Bill for City Assessment of Terminals % i Indefinitely Post- (From a Staft Correspondent.y LINCOLN, March 3.—(Special.)—Shortly aftér couvening this morning t topk ‘up Alle consideration of H. R. 330 through the reports of the committee on cifles and towns. The majority of that committee, McClay of Lancaster, Cropsey of Jeflerson, Ferrar of Hall, Cassell of Ofoe nd Roberts of Dodge, recommended the bill “for Indefinite postponement, and (he minority, consisting of Gilbert and Nelson of Douglas, Sweesy of Adams and Beecher of Platte, recommended it for passage. Wen Byck of Douglas, introducer of the bill, moved pot to concur in the majority report, but Ro place the bill on general file. Mr. Ten Eyck spoke forcibly in. de- fensa of his Motion snd-urged the house to give this bill the advantage of a fair hear- ing by allowing it to. go to the general file and be generally discussed. Douglas ot Rock spoke in suport of the majority report, contending that the bill had been exhaustively discussed in public, press and legislature and that firther con- tion was superfluous. Wilson of Pawnee conourred in these re- marks, saying he was sure every member of the house was thoroughly determined as to his attitude on this bill. He de- clared, with some degres of enthusiasm, that further consideration of this bill wi time wasted. Kennedy of Douglas plead for the bill to be placed on general file so. that its friends might have évery chance of a falr hearing. He sald It was too important a measure to be disposed of without golug on general file and be fully disgussed. Sears of Burt put in a strong but briet plea for the bill, declaring with Kennedy that 1t was too important a bill not to be generally discussed .on the*floor of the Bouse. Looinis of Dodge vigorously pleaded for the bill. The principle involved in it he declared to be of the most vital concern to every taxpayer of Nebraska and added that it was of mare importance than any- thing that would come before this legisla- ture. For that reason he thought the house would serfously err if If summarily killed | the bill. He said the opponents of the bill were not lacking In abllity to discuss the measure. in committee of the.whole nor were its friends unable to hold up thelr end of the argument. No harm, therefore, could be done by placiog the bill on gen- eral file—no person or interest injured. .

H. R, 2, Gilbert -of Douglas, the South Omaba’charter bill, came back trom the committee on cities and towns, by majority and minority reports. It was amendéd in a number of ways, fhe point of difference being the amendment pro- viding for difect taxation of rallroad terminals. The majority was agalnst the clause and the minority, Gilbert, Nelson of Douglas and Sweezy of. Adams, were for it. The majority report, that the bill, as amended, knocking outsthe taxation clause, was sustained. Among other amendments to the bill s one providing that the railroads keep up Tepairs on the viaducts, which clause was left out of the original bill. The Shelly bill, providing for a governor- appointed board of fire and police commis- sloners, was incorporated in the bill, as a compromisé for the extension of the time of city election in South Omsha to the spring of 1904, instead of having 1t come off this year, A petition was read from citizens of Franklin county, praying for an amend- ment to the revenue bill 8o as to elect county assessors for four years and employ subordinate assessors.

DISCUSSES OMAHA .CHARTER Rowsewater Advises that Any Chnnges Be Made Along Froad B T roported as fol- E. {From ‘a/Staft Correspopdent.) AINCOLN, March, 3.—(Special Telegram.) —E. Rosewater, who came down Omaha_this afternoon, was invited to ap- 'pear before ‘the Doug H. R. 320. one on a broad gauge, present and future conditions. In this re- spect he thought the present charter of Omaha was deficient. Mr. Rosewater fa- vored a general policy of expansion rather than contraction. He thought the, city should have from twelve to sixteen wards rather than nine. He belfeved it would be wise to elect one councilman for every 1,200 or 1,500 voters. Varied Interests re- quired this. If the city could not legislate a higher standard of qualification and mor- ality In its council it could increase the number. Mr. Rosewater argued against a reduction of salaries for fear of inducing a cheaper set of men. He did not want extravagance, but thought, as compared with other cities of similar size, Omaha was paying a low scale of salaries. In the matter of the police scale of salaries as proposed by the mew charter bill he thought, hewever, the scale should start at about $50 fer probationers, a little lower than the bill proposed, then advance gradually. He objected to the proposed plan of subjecting the names of all street and other minor city employes to the action of the council. He said if the public works officers who hired these men were not re- sponsible discharge them. “I belleve in responsibility and centralization,” said Mr. Rbsewater, and in this connection he ob- jected to the comptroller being made ‘& member of, the*Board of Public Works.

Speaking of coffes a doctor of Decatur- ville, Ohio says: ““We used to analyze cof- fee at the Medical college and in spite of our laboratory tests which showed it to con- tain caffine, an active poison, I continued to use the drink, and later on found my- self affected with serious stomach trouble, indigestion, headache, ete. The headache came on eo regularly and oppressed me so that I found ft difcult to attend to my regular duties. One day last Nov. I met a friend whom I had known to be similarly affiicted. His marked im- provement in appearance caused me to en- quire what he had been doing. He an- nounced that he had, some time ago, quit coffee and was using Postum Food Coffee, to this change he attributed the change in bis health. 1 took the hint, even frow & layman, and made the same change myself. The firet week 1 noticed a little difference but not wuch. The third week the change was almost magical. I have continued with the Postum and now my digestion is perfect, the nervous headaches have entirely dls appoared, and 1 am well. My own apalysis of the Postum Food Coffee shows It to be a pure food drink of strong character which is & marked contrast to the old fashioned coftee.’ Name gived by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. . troin county delegation tonight to discuss the Omaha charter bill, Mr. Rosewater sald his idea of a charter for a metropolitan city would be that would meet Munyon Talks to Women {Tolls How They May Have a Beauti- ful Complexion and Grow Luxuriant Hair.

This course was decided upon anly after every honorable method. to in- duce the company to give them Geserved consideration had falled Thelr determination ot take this step was deliberately reached as their person- ally written signatures will attest. They chose to hazard their employment and,the consequences to themselves and their fam- ilies that might follaw rather than to longer hold thé relation of the only rallway employes of this section who could not meet thelr manuging officlals on terms of equality and be accorded equal wages and the same treatment given the employes of thelr class on other lines. Some idea of their situation may be conceived when it is _known that the division officials of the Wabash would not meet & committee of their empoleys to hear or discuss mat- ters of compalint. There was no question of ‘“recognition of organized labor” to prejudice the issue, even though the Influence of the employes was exerted through their organizations as their action could .not have been made eftective or Intelligently directed through any other channel. " Law Must Be Respected. To prevent the men from carrying out their determination to defend their position in a proper and legal way, the company applied to and was granted gn injunction by Judge Adams of the United Statgs court for ‘the eastern ‘district of Mis- sourd, restrainiiig- the organizations, their offickrs, the committee and all concerned trom directly of Indirectly sanctioning the procedure agreed upon by the employes themselves. To this command, as and organizations, we bow In sub- fon. We will respect it because We gnize that until dissolved it is (he law. ‘While we view the action of the court as subversive of American rights and priv- lleges, and we helleve contrary to common Justice and fairness, we utter no defiance to its mandate and Indulge in no herolcs. We will, howeyer, contest the proceeding to the end, for if Judge Adams' order is written into the laws of our country, or- ganization of labor, which s today’ the hope and protecfon of working people, c¢annot continue its beneficent work. In this effort we believe we will not only have the MUDYOH of organized labor every. where, but all right thinking citizens who are lovers of human rights As to the action of President Ramsey in this connection, we leave the public to be the judge. Fof years he has boasted his contempt for labor organizations. He liked the distinction it brought him of belng the one managing officer in this section who ‘‘could get along without them." Every Jlrevlunu effort of the employes to meet and deal with him had proved futile. He “did not fear a strike;" "Could easily fill the men's pldces.” The men are not to be bluffed or ca- joled. They told him that they would strike If thelr requests were not granted. lew they were not in earnest’” and e could handle the situation as on pre occasions.” Tnstead of meeting it squarely and operatirig his property with- out the men, if he were able to do o, as he has so often id, the ability which he has asserted heretofére seems o have de- serted him and he takes refuge behind the injunction, the men are legally meshed and must accept without protest, under penalty of imprisonment, the work- ing conditions which he chooses to im- pose if he has faith In his assertion that the purpose of the injunction goes no further than to prevent outsiders from Interfer- ing with his employes, he will withdraw the writ, the officers of the organizations will agree to lcave the matter wholly to the decision of the commiftee of his em- ployes having the matter in charge and abide the result (Signed) P.

Following s the veto commubication in full: I return herewith without my approval ordinance No. 4% entitled “An ordinance granting to Andrew, Rosewater, his suc cessors and assignd, or any other person or corporation who may accept the terms and conditions of said ordinance, thejr suc: ors and assigns, the right in, upon, under and along the streets, boule- alleys and public grounds' of the city of Omaha, to erect wires, poles, con- dults, etc., for conducting and’ distributing electric currents and energy for power, lighting and heating purposes, etc.” for the reason that 1 consider the sald ordi- nance will not accomplish the purpose for which It purports to be Intended. The serious objection to this ordinance is, that while on its face it would seem 1o be granting to Andrew Rosewater, his su cessors and assigns, the rights ‘and priv leges set forth in the ordinance, as a mat- ter of fact, it does not grant o him or to his succesfors and assigns any rights or privileges that can be made available here- after. Fault of the Ordinance, Tn addition to Andrew Rosewater, his successors and assigns, the ordinance ex- tends the rights ahd privileges to any othey person or corporation who may uccept the terms and conditions of said ordinance, It specifying any other person or corporation who might accept the provisions of this ordinance would make more certain the fugnishing of cheap power to the city of Omaha, I certainly would favor this fea- ture of the ordinance, but I do not belleve extending the terms and provisions of sald ordinance to any other person or corpora- tion who might accept the same, other than Mr. Rosewater and his successors and assigns, will accomplish this result. In fact, 1 feel quite certain that it will have the opposite result. It is well known that an enterprise of the extent and character contempated by this ordinance cannot be undertaken or completed without the large investment of eastern money. It s also well known that capital is timid, and it other persons and corporations other than Mr. Rosewafer and his successsors, by merely accepting the ierms and provisions of this ordinance, would be placed in po- sition to immediately undertake or start a similar enterprise, it would be utterly. im- possible for Mr. Rosewater to induce cap- italtsts to take hold of .the ventuze with him. 1 belleve that ‘‘every tub should stand on its own bottom,” and that in this case Mr. Rosewater should be permitted to undertake the great enterprise which is contemplated without being loaded down and_hampered with provisions that would render the grant to him of no use or value.

If, after the matter I8 more fully considered, the people are not favorable to it at the time of the election, they can say 8o by their ballots. The least the mayor and council can do to permit the legal voters of the city at, the next city election to vote on this Question—not In a blanket form, as it is now presented, but in the form of a direct rant to Mr. Hosewater and his successors, n the event that this is done, even though Mr. Rosewater and his successors should fali to- accomplieh results, the situation, 50 far as the city is concerned, will be no worse than it is now, and no ‘worse than it would be if no-such ordimance were passed. As already indicated, the pas of such an ordinance would not prevent the nassage of any other similar ordinance Eranting ifke privileges to any other per- son of corporation who might demonstrate that they had a feasible scheme which was likely to be carried out.

Many such pride themselves /on thelr acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in medicines. . This fear of belng humbugged can be car- ried too far, so far, In fact, that many | people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money In faithfully testing the claims made of a | | preparation so relfable and universally ysed as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. | Now Stuart's Dyspepesia Tablets are vastly @ifferent In one important respect from ordinary properietary medicines for the reason that they are mot a secret patent medicine, no secret is made of thelr in- gredients, but analysis shows them to con- | tain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.

Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to it.
