Ing Falls short.

The city council canvassed the vote on
bonds last night and found that the engine
house and sewer bonds were carried and
the intersection bonds were lost. The total
vote on engine house bonds was S,416 yes
and l.46s no; on intersection bonds. 3,OOo yes
and 1,57O no, and on sewer bonds 3l55 yes
and 1892 no.
As the passage of bonding questions re-
quires a two-thiTds OF the votes cast, the
engine house bonds had $50 votes to spare
and the sewer bonds SIP votes The affirm-
alive vote for intersection bonds lacked 40
votes of being twice as large as the mega
tive vote.
City Clerk Elbourn thinks mistake has
been made in the returns from the Fourth
district Of the Seventh ward, and II this
proves true the intersection bonds will
carry after all This district gave fourteen
votes for the intersection bonds and sixty
four against. seventeen for the engine
house bonds and sixty-four against, and
thirteen for the sewer bonds and fifty
against. The Second and Third districts
OF the same ward voted in favor Of the
/ intersection bonds. and the vote of the
First district stood seventy-fve yes and
| thirty-eight no. On the other questions
also these three districts polled a heavy
Z vote for the bonds. When the vote was be-
4 ing canvassed il occurred 10 the city clerk

that mistake had been made in delivering

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The Navy de-
partment has been advised by cablegram
that the cruiser Denver left Guatanamo
yesterday for San Pedro Maroons, Santo
Domingo, to which place Rear Admiral
Bradford was ordered TO send a warship
because of reported troubles. The Denver
should reach there todayo The department
also has been advised that Rear Admiral
Bradford sailed yesterday with his flag
ship, the cruiser Olympia, from Guam
tanamo, for San Domingo City.
The gunboat Eagle. which has sailed
from Newport News for Monte Christi, has
been temporarily assigned to Rear Ad-
miral Bradford's division in Dominican
waterH
The War department has received a
cablegram from Colonel Cotton who is
chief OF the governmenS agents in San
Domingo, dated at San Domingo November
s. which says:
Everything prefectly quiet"
It appears that the advice upon which
the State department Scsed in requesting
the dispatch of naval vessels to Macorls
yesterday came from one of its own
agents in San Domingo and was to the
effect that body of about fifty armed men
had been seen to advance to the westward

tended an uprising.

ALONG THE RAILROAD RUN
Union Pseihe brings RIsht-Of-wsy
for Fremont Cut
on.

Reliable information comes from South
Omaha to the erect the Union Pacific has
recently acquired nifty lots from the South
Omaha Land company for right-of-way for
the cutoff which Is TO be built from OK
Bow to South Omaha. These lots are in
the tier OF blocks Immediately north OF 3
street and the right-of-way Of the North
western. Two or three of these lots, at the
point where the cutoff will Join the main
line, at Twenty-ninth street, are In the
second tier of blocks north of B street.
The railroad company is keeping its oper-
atoms as quiet as possible, and conse-
! quently the South Omaha Land company
will give out no informatiop regarding the
transaction.
1t is said practically ell the right-of-way
has been acquired west to the city limits.
The company is now dealing with the farm
ers between the city and OK Bow.
The cut-off will furnish employment for
a large number OF laborers. The ten miles
of track will run through some rough
country, and It is estimated that the grad
| ing will cost in the neighborhood OF 5000,
| 900.
| Several of the firms occupying land east
! of the Burlington freight depot have been
| notified to move to make room for addi-
tional trackage which is required. This
also gives rise to the rumor that the
! freight depot might be enlarged. For some
| time there has been considerable complaint
! concerning the facilities furnished by the
Burlington for the handling of freight. both
| ingoing and outgoing. These complaints
| were stopped a few weeks ago by the
Burlington inaugurating a new system
| whereby the outgoing and ingoing freight
was separated. This relieved the rush fol
the time being, but it is thought to be the
intention of the Burlington to provide mort
room.

LoBECK HAS A WORD TO SAY
Criticises Manner In which Board Of
FIRE aud Police Handled
Dehcit.

Comptroller Lobeck has this to say OF
the manner in which the Board OF Fire
and Police Commissioners handled the po-
lice fund deficit. Said he:
Il notified the commissioners I'm August
that there would be a shortage but the
first action taken was considerably later,
when the department was cut nearly In
half on the plea of necessity. This act
caused II to be advertised TO the world
that Omaha was practica;;y without a po-
lice force. l read 1t myself in a Chicago
paper. Naturally It is fair to suppose
criminals fiocked in. In response to public
appeals we found way to make up the
deficit and did so promptly. The council
and other city officers understood dis
tinctly the money was to be used for pay
ing salaries and for no other purpose. In
stead of restoring the force at once the
commissioners proceeded to put Il back
piecemeal. and the last bunch of men of
goes to work Monday. BY reason of the
lay-offs It is announced money has been
saved sufficient to buy the patrol wagons.
This course is hardly in good faith with
the council and men who dug UP the
money. We feel we did right in endeavor-
ing to keep the police on duty. but we
should not be put in the light OF making
these efforts to buy new wagons, particu-
larly when many policemen and the city
suffered"
Councilman Huntington does not show
any sympathy with statements that tbs
present wagons are falling to pieces anC
must be replaced at once. He thinks mex
year will be time enough to buy the new
equipment, and If any money is left ovei
in the police fund it should be put bach
| where it belongs,
| The matter has stirred up a brisk con
! troversy at the city hall and the outcom,
! is not I'm sight. Whether the city officer
have any further control over the none!
| transferred is a question that a number o
| persons would like answered. The comp

| Another obstacle has presented itself il
the way of he Board of Fire and Polio
| Commissioners spending $500 or so TO
new patrol wagons out of the money trans
ferred to the police fund to keep up tn
force to the end of the year. This barrie
is none other than John T. Gathers, VIII

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also Il Few Facts on the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vegetarian
ism and many other fads along the same
line.
Restaurants may be found in the larger
cities where no meat, pastry or conee Is
served, and the food crank is in his glory
and arguments and theories galore ad-
tended for human stomachs ana almost
tended TO human stomaohs. and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors,
who lived four-score years in robust health
on roast beef. pork and mutton must
have been grossly ignorant of the laws OF
health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the FOOD
they ate. warm welcome was extended
To any kind, from bacon TO acorns
A healthy appetite and common sense are
excellent guides to follow in matters Of
diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats Is undoubtedly the best. g.
As compared with grains and vegetables.
meat furnishes the most nutriment in a
highly concentrated form, and is digested
and nssimilated more quickly than vege-
tables and grains.
Dr. Julius RemmsOn, on this subject,
says: NERVOUS persons. people run down
In health and OF low vitality should eat
meat. and plenty of il. II the digestion is
TOO feeble at first il may be easily cor
reoted by the regular use of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal Two OF
these excellent tablets taken after dinner
will digest several thousand grains OF
meat, eggs and other animal food in three
hours, and no matter how weak the stom-
ach may be. no trouble will be experienced
Il a regular practice is made OF using
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply the pepsin and diastase necessary 10
perfect digestion, and every form OF tndi-
gestion will be overcome by their use."
That large class of people who come un-
der the head OF nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty OF meat and insure its proper
digestion by the daily use OF a safe, narm-
less digestive medicine like Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, composed Of natural diges
i've principles. pepsin, diastase, fruit acidi
and salts. which actually perform the worl
Of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines
rnasquerading under the name of dyspep
STA cures, are useless for indigestion, al
they have absolutely no effect upon tn
actual digestion OF food.
Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is simpl!
failure OF the stomach 20 digest faod, AM
the sensible way to solve the riddle AM
cure the dyspepsia is TO make daily use a
mealtime OF a preparation like stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets, which is endorsed b,
