SAYS the Fort Smith News-Record:
"There was much opposition to the
election of Crisp, of Georgia, to the
speakership of the House in the last
Congress, but the prejudice against
him has passed away on account OF
the efficient manner in which he
transacted the business of the respon-
sible position. There is no doubt he
will be Speaker of the next House,
and on this subject the Springfield
(Mo) Democrat says" "He is the
best man for the place, and it has be-
come matter of general concession
that Cleveland is not only willing but
prefers the Georgian as master of the
House eagles-the mace-for the
Congress coming on. 1t took some
time for this truth to trickle intc
some people, such as Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, and Mcmillan, OF
Tennessee, but even they have
finally grasped it. So there is to be
no contest-not even the show OF
ono "

Good looks are more than skin

liver be inactive, you have bilious
look, if your stomach be disordered,
you have dyspeptic look and if your
kidneys be affected, you have a pinch

will have good looks. Electric Bit

just now feeling the results Amer
lea has never been more prosperous.
Our farmers and producers have never
been In better condition and wage carners
are well employed and conservative business
men everywhere are solid. These local
storms producing financial wrecks will soon
be passed and there is reason to believe
that the country at large will be all
the better for the bankruptcies that are now
taking place. OF course some well conducted
but weak concerns will be carried down
through causes for which they ere not
responsible but grow out of the
conditions under which they are
forced TO do business. i am
confident however, that within the next six
months the financial situation will Tnateri-
ally improve and we shall enter upon an
other era of prosperity which will be free for
long time from the evils of overspeculation
which have caused so much grief in the last
fifteen years.

every member tand every business man

the new organization the cordial
support which its purposes warrant
and enable 1t to be power for good In the
community for which it is organized.
Possibly some of the business men do not
appreciate the great value to the business of
the city of the exposition. We are
manufacturers who last year con-
tributed largely to the success of the ex-
hibit will not do anything IN that line at the
present time. II is probably now too late
for them TO get space in the building. but by
all means every manufactured article in
Nebraska should be represented on
the 22d, and arrangements should be
completed, so that when the electric
button is touched and the exposition opened
there will be no carpenters or other me-
chanlcs placing finishing touches upon ex-
hibits. The country merchants are to be
here in large numbers and the two weeks of
the exposition ought to be and will be, If the
people appreciate the opportunity, very
profitable to the trade of the city.
1t Is more interesting than gratifying to
compare the national bank statements of
September 30, 1892, with those of the last
call, and yet fancy no other city can make
a better comparative showing. The former
! date represented a congested condition OF
| the money market and the latter the re-
| verse. The dates are extremes. Following
are the figures for the two dates, except that
the December statement of two of the South
| Omaha banks is taken because ] could not

| there is n heavy falling off in cash ant
| deposits there is nearly AZ per cent of the
| former with which to do business. | thinl
| In view of the general situation the bank:
| should feel encouraged and the people shoult
feel entirely safe. We have been so accus
toned for year or so to flush money mar
| keU that the comparison is almost startling
but the figures speak well for the city never
theless."

Notes About the Mel Who Make the Wheels
Go Round.
The great event of the whole year so far
as concerns the manufacturers is the annual
exposition of the Manufacturers and Con-
sumers association, which will open in the
Coliseum building one week from tomorrow,
that is, on May %. For two months or more
the manufacturers have been preparing for
the coming event, and it has been no easy
matter to get them to talk about any other
subject, unless one happened to be Gus
toner with an order for goods in his pocket
The good impression made on the public by
the last exposition and tho largely increased
business that was ceable directly to that
source has made the manufacturers en-
thusiastic on the subject.
AT the same time they realize that they
have much harder task on their hands
than last year when the first expos tion was
held. AT that time visitors did not expect
to see very much of an exhibit and were
greatly surprised at the really fine showing
of Nebraska factory products. This year
the condition is reversed and every visitor
will be expecting great deal and the manu-
facturers arc fully alive to the fact that they
will have to put forth n great effort to meet
the expectations of the public and keep up
tine reputation of the Manufacturers asso-
citation. In order to do this they have pre-
pared to put in Il much larger amount of ma
| manufacture to much greater extent than
before, as it was found that that feature was
| especially interesting to the public.
The number of exhibitors that will take
| part is also much larger than last year and
| that promises to give a greater variety to
| the exhibits. About every line of manufac-
| ture of any Importance in the state will be
| represented.
The manufacturers have also striyen to
| avoid n mere duplication of last years expo
| sition and they believe that they have sue
cceded in introducing new features that will
make the exhibit equally interesting to
| those who saw the one last year.
| A large proportion of the manufacturers
| were at the Coliseum building yesterday
marking off their space and getting ready to
! commence operations on Monday, and from
now until the close of the week, when the
| work will be completed, the Coliseum build.
| ing will be about the liveliest place IT, the
| city. The lumber for the booths is being
| hauled to the building and large force of
carpenters has been engaged to put it in
shape.
| Several of the manufacturers out in the
state who will take part in the exposition
| have been in looking over the ground and
| getting an idea of what they will want.
The ThOmson-Houston Electric Lighting
company is putting in the lights and
| power and will also have an electric cooking
apparatus that is expected to prove an inter
esting feature.

CONTEST THE TITLE.
Another Step In the American Water Works
Compiny Litigation.

Another Step In the American Water Works
Comptny Litigation.
A new phase of the American Water
Works company controversy was turned to-
ward the light yesterday when papers were
FLED in United States court contesting the
title to the lots upon which the settling
basins at Florence are located.
The petitioner is E. Hyde Rust, receiver
of the American Water Works company, and
the defendants are G. II. Venner, Frederick
II. Mills ana Delos A, Chappel. 1t is
alleged by MIR. Rust that in 1891 Mr.. Venner,
acting for the American Water Works com
pany, purchased some lots IN Florence,
to be used for II site for reservoirs
and settling basins. The lots were
purchased for S3,675, and ,the deed
was made out to f. II. Mills
with the understanding and provision in the
deed that the property should be decided by
Mills to the American Water Works COM
pany. But trouble coming on soon after be-
tween Mr., Venner and other stockholders,
IL is alleged in the petition that Mr.. Venner
prevailed upon Mr., Mills to deed the lots to
Delos A. Chappell, in whom the title now APP
pears on the county records. This transac-
tion was not discovered, it is
held in the petition, until February.
1893, and the receiver is now anxious
10 get the title TO the property transferred
To the American Water Works company for
the reason that Chappell has threatened to
bring suit against the comprny for posses
| sion and ejectment. This would bring about
a serious complication, for the large settling
basins are located on these lots and they are
| absolutely necessary 10 the company in the
| operation of the plant.
The petitioner states that as the represen
tative OF the company he stands ready al
| any moment TO pay 10 Mr., Chappell the pur
chase price of the lots with interest from
| the time of purchase, if IL should be ascer
tanned that Mr.. Venner has not already been
! paid for the lots.
IL is also alleged in the petition that Mr.
| Nenner mulilated ana destroyed the original
deed from MIR. Lantry 10 Mr., Mills in order
10 cover up the provision contained in the
deed making II necessary ON the part of MIR
Mills TO deed the property 10 the American
Water Works company
