are as fearless as such people usually are
until exposed, when the good sense of the
intelligent public and the fear of the peni-
tentary drives them to some other quarter
of the earth to prey upon the credulity and
profit by the desperation Of poor suffering
humanity.
The Omaha Medical Institute. both in
protection OF itself and in the interest Of the
farmers of both Nebraska and Iowa, has
flooded those states with circulars setting
forth that Drs Malta Howard and McMe-
nanny and those with numerous other names
are taking notes and selling them to the
banks. The circular further states that the
Bank of Ute bought some of these notes on
which farmers names were forged. The
circular further states that these people are
frauds, and that they have no right to rep
resent the Omaha Medical Institute, which
has no agents in Iowa and which is the
only medical institute IN Omaha. The
circular further asserts that because of
these men the institute has been compelled
to withdraw its representatives from that
state. Lastly, the institute requests every
bank to telegraph when these people offer it
paper for sale so that the institute in this
city may aid ia the detection of the fraud
and the protection of the bank as we'll as of
the honest farmers who do business with it..

3''" 1929 p STREET,
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 81. J
The republicans of Lancaster county held
their primary election to-day. In the Third,
Fifth and Sixth wards there was red hot
fight, and the factions fought as earnestly as
the parties do at the polls at the election
proper. Until this morning it was thought
that but one delegate ticket would be pre-
sented In the Third ward. Owing, however.
to the cast of the delegation put up at a eau
Gus last night, which meant Maxey Cobb for
treasurer and Tom Carr for sheriff, there
were a host of rebels in camp
this morning, and the friends of Burnham
and Griffith got together, made up ticket.
In the Fifth ward the friends
of Hoxie and McClay, both candidates for
sheriff. locked horns; also Cobb and Burn
ham. The friends of these Candidates con-
tested every inch of ground. In the Sixth
ward it was Churchill for county clerk and
Hunger for sheriff against Sam McClay,
who is said to be prominent in the race
for the, latter position. The result
of the contest in these wards can
not be determined at this time Consider
able feeling was manifested at three polling
places, and II is said that stormy county
convention is likely to occur. The conven-
ton convenes on Monday.
In the other wards and precincts the cleo
tion passed off quietly and good feeling pre-
vailed. Senator Raymond led the fight
against the Cobb people In the Third ward.
Later-The result of the primaries ad-
vances Cobb stock for treasurer. He won
IN the First, Second, Third and Fifth wards.
1t is thought, however, that Burnham's gains
in the country will overbalauce what he lost
IN the city.
Carr and McClay balance for sheriff.
Trompsen, too, will have some votes.
In the sixth, his home ward. Burnham's
friends are still confident that he will win
for county treasurer.

The Good Time Act.

A question of interest was suggested to
The BEE correspondent to-day. A widow
lady who has son in the pcntentiary, and
whose term, deducting the benefits earned
by the good time act, will expire in about ten
days, applied to tine governor for pardon.
She desired him TO receive this executive
favor so that he might be restored to his
civil and political rights. The governor de-
clined TO interfere for this reason, holding
that the benefits derived from the good time
restored the beneficiary to his full citizen
ship. Speaking of this a well known lawyer
said: III this holding is correct, and at first
glance it looks TO be so, it will affect the citi-
zenship of many ex-convio Is in this state"

LANCASTER, PA, August /, 1889.
A New Rcseryo,r.

There are heard many complaints
nom taxpayers and citizens living In the
northwestern part of the city who are
suffering for lack of proper water sup
ply. Not that there has not been enough
come down upon them from overhead
these last few days, but that the pres
ent reservoir il not sufficient to supply
them on even ordinary occasions. They
say they derive very little benefit from
the new stand-pipe, and they have ms
little water now as they had before il
was erected. Except at night and at
noon, when the manufacturing estab-
lishments are not running, they have
practically no water at all. There is
one citizen on West James street who
was obliged to lei all the spigots in his
house open all day and night, in order
to collect enough water to fill the bath
tub. And as for enjoying the luxury Of
water to sprinkle the pavements or front
yard during dry spell, such thing Is
not TO I've dreamed Of Yet this citizen
is obliged to pay full water rent as if he
had n supply in abundance. The city
has established water plugs in that
neighborhood, but i'm case of fire they
would be as useless as posts or tree
boxes.
In looking over the improvements that
Lancaster will I've called upon 10 make
in the next ten years, that of a new res
ervoir In the western part Of the city,
is most important. The ground in that
section is entirely too high above the
service. Besides this is a growing part
of the city and houses and homes are cX-
tending northward and westward every
day. The lack of a water supply IL de-
terring people from building and living
on West Lemon and West James streets
further out than Charlotte street. \
most suitable site and site frequently
mentioned for new reservoir would be
on the hill Immediately back of the col
lege. IL Is higher than any of the sur
rounding ground and would sufficiently
supply water for the city with fifty
years more of growth.
The water necessary To fill this reser-
voir could, we think, be drawn from the
Little Conestoga creek. II this he not
sufficient number of artesian wells
could be sunk to make up the deficiency
BY this means many Western cities are
supplied and the system has proved sue
cessful.
The matter Of expense is something TO
consider, but city owes its citizens be-
sides good water an adequate supply, es-
pccially when property owners nre pay
ing full rental for it. Would il not be
much more to the permanent benefit of
greater number of citizens were this
project for hetter supply of water car
ried out, than that thousands of dollars
should be expended in paving with
cement such alleys ms Christian and
Grant streets? This latter il bencftting
few persons who have stables and
shops fronting on these alleys. The
project proposed would be giving an
adequate supply of water to whole street
along which live many taxpayers and
property owners.
