The question is, are the conditions
which determined tie strength or weak
ness of the child unalterable? IL it
possible that mother who has borne
several children and lost them all be-
cause of inherent weakness can be so
strengthened that her children shall be
healthy and hardy?
READ THE ANSWER
10 that question, written by a woman
who is certainly competent to speak as
to the remarkable strengthening power
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Mrs. Alex Kjer, of Gordonville, Cape
Cirardeau Co., Mo-, writes: "When !
look at my little boy feel it my duty to
write to you. Perhaps some one will
see my testimony and be led to use your
Favorite Prescription and be blessed
in the same way. This is my fifth child
and the only one who lived the others
having died from lack of nourishment-
SO the doctor said. I was not sickly in
any way and this time l Just thought
would try your Prescription l took
nine bottles, and to my surprise it
carried me through and gave us as fine
little boy as ever was. Weighed ten
and one-half pounds. He is now five
months old, has never been sick day,
and is so strong that everybody who sees
him wonders at him. He is so playful
and holds himself up so we'll. SO many
have asked me, DO you think those
are the testimonials of the people, or has

Gas Company Pays Up.

Manager Davis of the Omaha Gas COM
pany yesterday paid into the city treasury
the sum of s66S.S0 This sum represents
per cent of the number of cubic feet of
gas sold and paid for last year. According
to the sworn statement filed with the
treasurer the gas company sold, from De-
cember |, 1899, TO December / 1900, IL, $40
100 cubic feet of gas and the amount turned
into the treasury is the royalty exacted by
the council for the franchise. For the first
year the gas company did business here
only S2O7 was turned into the treasury.
but last year the business increased rap
idly, as the increase in the annuity shows.
At the present time the gas company Is
serving about 700 patrons and as new con-
nections are being made almost daily the
royalty next January will probably reach
81 900. This franchise is the only one
which requires the paying OF royalty, but
II the new charter goes through all compa -
nies and corporations desiring franchises
will be compelled to pay an annuity. The
money paid in yesterday will come handy
as the funds are at a low ebb just new.

refreshing sleep. II cures the nausea
experienced by many women who antici-

Those Niaduct Repnlra.

At Monday nights meeting Of the coun-
ell Miller secured the passage OF a motion
directing the city clerk to notify the rail-
road companies to proceed at once to re-
pair the l. street viaduct. Mr. Miller evil
IDENTIFY overlooked the fact that the rail-
roads are not responsible for the condi-
tion of the whole bridge. According to the
law the city can compel the roads to re-
pair only certain number OF feet outside
of the spans When the Union Stock Yards
company and the Union Pacific first con-
sentod to take charge of the repairs OF
both the bridges across the tracks the
council was requested to designate the por-
tion OF the l. street bridge which 1t de-
sired the railroads to keep in repair.
With the consent Of the council the work
commenced at the east end OF the vaduct
and extended west about 100 feet This
left something like 372 feet OF the west
approach to be kept in repair by the city.
1t therefore follows that the council must
specify on what portion OF the bridge the
work is to be done, as the railroads will
not repair any portion except the /, 100 feet
agreed upon some time ago.
