TWO WATER SYSTEMS.
Although tine City Hes Good System.

Saturday Phoenix voted in favor of the construction of a municipal water supply system and for the issuance of $3o0,00 bonds to pay for it. A two- thirds vote was necessary. This was accomplished in all four of the city wards. The total vote was 1O72, of which the opposition boiled only 336. The net majority was 2l.
 Much excitement was manifested over the election. The water com pany has spent $5O,OO Tn the last two months replacing old pipe and was accused of hiring peon voters to SUD- port its interests.
 Saturdays election is the third that has been held for similar purpose. An attempt to vote bonds last spring failed by thirty votes. It is under stood that the present plant is bonded for over S4O0, 900. These bonds are held in the East, but practically all the stock of the corporation is held by Gen. M. Fl. Sherman, of Los Angeles. It is designated to offer Sherman the present value of his system. Failing of acceptance of this offer, parallel system is to be constructed, of ma terially broader scope. It is expected that cheap electric power will be se- cured from the Tonto Basin dam. Sherman's franchise runs for eleven years yet, carrying a contract for that time with the city for about S4, 900 8 year for fire hydrant rental.

A Word of Appreciation.

OMAHA. Jan. Alto the Editor of The
Bee: II affords me great pleasure to pub
ncly commend our chief of police for the
excellent manner In which he recently
handled an important matter for our COM
pany. wherein we were endeavoring to re-
cover valuable property stolen from us BY
one OF the most accomplished shoplifters IN
the country
When we notified the chief of our loss he
at once gave II as his opinion that the rob-
berry was committed by a Mrs. Prince and
he then stated, I'VE will get her before
long" For six months he has left no stone
unturaed and has kept in thorough touch
with the police departments all over the
country. His diligent efforts were re-
warded a few days ago and the woman was
arrested. While we had a very weak case,
and would have found II difficult to prove
that she took our goods, he handled the
matter so skilfully that he succeeded In
getting full payment for the property
stolen, and sufficient TO cover all expenses
We are so prone TO criticise and find fault
with public servants that / feel we should
be glad to commend when we find any one
OF them specially deserving of credit Per
sonally l have always held the chief IN
nigh esteem, and my close connection with
him In this matter has not only increased
my esteem, but has convinced me that he
possesses all the qualifca tons necessary
In police officer, and that he can ALWAYS
be depended on to be watchful and diligent
on behalf of our citizens. | am glad Ia
testify In this public way as to the salts.

catnrrh I. Found Everywhere.

Catarrh Is at home anywhere and every
where. While more common in cold,
chRngeable climates, It is by no means
confined 10 them. but is prevalent in every
state and territory In the union.
The common definition Of catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head. which Is long
negl elected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing but there are many
other forms Of the disease even more OBJ
stinate and dangerous.
Catarrh Of the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as catarrh OF the stomach
and liver are almost as common as nasal
catarrh and generally more dihieult OF
cure.
CataTrh is undoubtedly a blood disease
and can only be successfully eradicated by
an internal treatment. Sprays, washes and
powders are useless as far as reaching the
real seat OF the disease is concerned.
Or. McIverney advises catarrh sufferers
TO use a new preparation, sold by drugg SITS,
called stuart's Catarrh Tablets. because
actual analysis has shown these tablets to
contain certain antiseptic qualities Of the
highest value and being an internal rem
edy. pleasant to the taste. convenient and
harmless, can be used as freely as required,
as well for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker. who
had been eatarrh sufferer for years
says;
EVERY fall would catch a cold which
would settle in my head and throat and
hang on all winter long and every winter

At a meeting of the Prospect Hill I'm

e. J. Cornish of the park commission
gave a short talk before the club on Parks
and Boulevards." During the course Of his
remarks he took several fails out OF the

into the park appropriations for use in the
other municipal departments. He said that
he is in favor Of making the head OF every
municipal office elective. not appointive. He
also said Omaha has been extravagant in
the matter of width of its pavements and
boulevards, and favored taking more land
from the street to the property line for

said, the park board has expended an
average of S11 an acre for it's park i'm
