AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Municipal Ownership Becomes the Subject
Of Some Discussion.
WATER COMPANY HAS TWO YEARS MORE
Expiration of Its Franchise May
Net, However, Find City FiRan-
ciaIly Able 20 Buy n
Plant.

There is considerable talk about the city
voting bends and erecting its own water
works and electric light plants. The water
company franchise expires in two years.
while the electric light franchise has over
twenty years yet TO run. Some cay that By
the city erecting q plant Of its own it can
furnish water and light TO consumers at !
much less rate than is being paid now.
While the scheme is only in its infancy.
objections are already being made. In
connection with the water prooosition II
is asserted that IL water be taken from the
river at this point It will contain a great
amount Of refuse dumped into the stream
at Omaha, and consequently be impure. The
fact that the water now served patrons
comes from Florence after going through a
number Of settling basins is considered
good enough for the time being. AS to the
lighting proposition, the city would be
forced to purchase the franchise Of the
lighting company now supplying light TO
the city. and this would be expensive.
The question is whether the city will
increase its bonded Indebtedness 81, OOO, 900.
or more in order to take up this work.
Just now the general bonded debt is S307,-
900 and the city has all it can do to pay
interest. to say nothing Of increasing the
debt. While a great many citizens would
like TO see municipal ownership Of water
and lighting plants, there does not seem to
be any great desire TO vote bonds for a
sum sufficient 10 install such plants as
would be needed to supply the city with
an abundance Of light and water. A com-
promise will most likely be made when 1t
comes TO renewing the water contract and
q reduction in the annual hydrant rental
will doubtless be brought about when the
time for taking up the matter comes
around.

Where it is not necessary to prac-
tice economy, Of course, one should
employ assistance, for it is in this
way that the poorer woman may earn
livelihood, but even the woman Of
wealth may be capable scemstress
without loss to herself
Years ago girl s education was not
considered complete without knowl-
edge Of at least plain sewing. In
time this idea was regarded as thing
Of little or no importance. And then
came the consideration Of the kitchen,
until cooking became almost fad.
And truly, affairs Of the kitchen arc
Of great Importance in every house
hold. But the dainty woman Of slcn-
der means may save enough by doing
her own sewing to hire capable ser
want. | have CLEANED this informa-
ton from Il dozen housewives who
have tried this plan Of cconomizing,
and so am certain that it is not all
mere theory.
The woman who is thrifty enough
to do her own sewing and do it we'll is
usually an all-round good and careful
housekecpcr. Sewing, if we'll done, is
training in accuracy and patience,
for it is not task that can be han
died in heller skcltcr way.
The woman who can write and the
woman who can play, the woman who
can paint and the woman who can
sing, have all been praised, as such
talents aud accomplishments merit,
but the woman whose need of praise
has been little short, 1 think, is the
woman who can sew. She, too, is
much Of an artist and she revels in
harmony.
If you have tried it thon you know
what delightful thing it is to gaze
upon some beautifully. finished gar
ment and know it is all your own
handiwork.
Often times the ability to sew puts
girl in u position to take advantage
of many pleasant and profitable things
that she would otherwise have to do
without. There is the musical, and
the dinner. where there are bright
people, and to which she has been in
vited. A pretty gown is an absolute
necessity, and to buy the materials
and pay for the faslioning also is out
Of the question. So, my girl who
knows how to sew makes her own
dainty frock or bodice and every one
admires its becoming style.

Small I'ox.

This dreadful disease is now very
prevalent in all parts Of the country,
and, as exposure to its malignant
breath is liable to occur at any timo
no matter how careful we may be, it
behooves everyone to take proper pre-
cautions to prevent the germs from
aifeoting the body. The doctors say
that pure blood, good digestion and
regular bowel movements materially
aid the body in resisting attack, hence
it is the course of wisdom to purify
and strengthen the system without
delay. a most effective remedy for
this purpose, one that combines the
necessary properties for purifying the
blood. strengthening the kidneys, ton
ing up the digestive organs and for
cleansing and regulating the bowels
will be found in that we'll known sys-
tenn tonic aud purifier, Prickly Ash
Bitters. This valuable remedy is the
right thing for putting tho body in
shape to resist the effect of exposure
to Small Pox. No one will knowing
ingly expose himself to this disease.
The exposure usually takes place when
it is least expected, therefore the
need for precautionary measures is
the more urgent. 1t is safe to say
that the frequent use of Prickly Ash
Bitters while the disease is 30 preva-
lent will keep the body in such fine
physical condition that no ordinary
exposure will affect it. Evans Phar-

Delicate Way Of Putting 1t.

But few Kentu.kians ever reached
or deserved greater prominence for
solid ability than the two brothers,
John B. and Philip B. Thompson, Sr.
They lived in Harrodsburg for many
years, the former having been lieuten-
ant governor and United States sena-
tor, the latter commonwealth attorney,
and both lawyers of enIinence. Willie
they were devoted to each other, they
took liberties with themselves which
would not have been allowed BY either
to stranger.
On ono occasion the senator, who
had been employed in law case, could
not find the papers, and the only thing
he cou'. learn was that his brother
had taken them out of the office. One
morning he arose in open court aud
requested his brother to return the
papers. The brother, with an assum-
ed air of injured innocence, denied
having the papers.
Brother John, you surely do MOI
mean to accuse me of stealing the pa
pers,' he said
"Oh, no." responded the senator,
under no circumstances would ac-
cusc you, Phil, Of stealing; but will
say that believe that you, like old
Bluford Wickersham, would burst

did not belong to you" Governor

The Cost Of Trademarks.

There was time, a comparative
ly few years ago, when the question
Of protecting trademarks did not
enter into the commercial value of
the articles involved as it does now.
This is due ito the enormous in
crease i'll advertising health foods,
cereals, patent medicines and novel
ties. The tariff Of charges for reg
istering trademarks in the various
countries seems in some instances
to be based upon the idea that au-
thorized labels and the like are
luxury. In Zululand, Peru, Uru-.
quay, Hongkong and Granada the
tariff fixed by law for each trade
mark is $145 in gold, the highest
on the entire list.
In this country trademarks are
filed with the patent Office, ard the
price for registering one is $55,
which is the lowest rate charged
anywhere. Canada charges only $50
for general or special trademark.
There are some countries of Europe
that demand 500 for registering
trademark, but in Great Britain,
Germany, Austria, France and Spain
the fee in each case is $?5. This is
the rate in the majority Of the Eng
lish colonies, including New South
Wales and New Zealand, but in
Cape Colony it is $115 and in South
Africa $135. In Costa Rica also
$135 is demanded.-American Wine
