PLAN FOR ORIGINAL PAVING
Sentiment at City Hall to Enlarge
Asphalt Repair Plant which
Has Proven n Success.

The success of the municipal asphalt re-
pair plant is causing a discussion at the
city hall Of the advisability of enlargng
the establishment from a capacity of 500
square yards a day to two or three times
this amount in order that the city might
put down original paving If it felt so dis
posed
To do new paving the charter would have
to be amended as the law now provides
that all such work must be let by CON
tract to the lowest bidder. Citizens have
commented freely and often on the opera
tons of the repair plant and in every case
favorably. Though figures have not been
compiled to show the information exactly.
It is known in the engineering department
the cost Of repairs this year has been
lower than under any contracts ever made
for similar work in Omaha. Besides this,
the defective pavements are patched as
soon as holes develop or cuts are made by
corporations or plumbers. Much of the
success of the repair plant, City Engineer
Rosewater SAYS is due to the fact that
he was allowed almost unrestrained author
ity in the selection Of superintendents,
foremen and workmen.

NOBODY is EXEMPT
A New Preparation which Everyone
VIII Need sooner or Later.

Almost everybodys digestion is disor-
dered more or less, and the commonest
thing they do for it is to take some one of
the many so-called blood purifiers, which in
many cases are merely strong cathartics.
Such things are not needed. If the organs
are in a clogged condition, they need only a
little help and they will right themselves.
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings Of
the stomach and bowels and often do more
harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condition
to be ready digested and assimilated
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do this per-
fectly. They partly digest what is eaten
and give the stomach just the help II needs
They stimulate the secretion and excretion
OF the digestive fluids and relieve the con-
gested condition of the glands and mem
branes. They put the whole digestive sys-
TEN in condition to do it's work When that
is done you need take no more tablets, un-
less you eat what does not agree with you.

RECTLY.
PRESIDENT FELT HIS WAY
FIRST RECEIVED ASSURANCES
THAT PROPOSITION WOULD
BE WELCOME.

Washington, June 11-An identical
note, the text of which, by authority
| of the president, was made public late
| rotary Loeb, has been forwarded to
the governments of Russia and Japan
by President Roosevelt.
In the interest OF humaE.ty the pres
ident urges the warning nations to
conclude peace. 1t is suggested by
the president that the negotiations for
peace be Conducted directly and ex
clusively' between the Leligerent ma
lions.
The note indicates the presidents
belief that an intermediary may not
be necessary to effect conclusive nego
tiatiOns, but likewise expresses the
presidents willingness iC do all that
he properly may to promote the pre-
liminary arrangements for a time and
place for the meeting of representa-
t.ves of the Russian and Japanese gov
ernments.
Note Delivered Direct.
The note was forwarded to the Rus
sian and Japanese governments Thurs
day afternoon. 1t is rendered espe-
cially significant by the fJct that it
was prepared and sent only after as
surances had been received from To.
llio and st. Petersburg that such
proposition would be welt omed While
both Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, and Minister Takahira the
japanese representative. were cog
infant of the nature of tie note, it was
not sent to their respective govern
ments through them 1t was cabed
by direction of the president to St
Petersburg and Toxic, and there de
livered directly to the Russian and
Japanese governments, respectively,
by Ambassador Meyer and Minister
Griscom. In addition to the assur-
ances received by the president from
Ambassador Meyer, after his audience
with the car, and from Minister Girls
com, who had conferred with the mi
kado's government, the
President had Indicated
to the representative If the two gov
ernments at this capital his intention.
representatives Of other important
powers accredited to this capital.
While no intima ton of the attitude as
sume6 toward the proposition by
either Ambassador Cassinl or Minister
Takahiro is obtainable. it is known
that other diplomats with whom the
president conferred, cordially indorsed
his intention.
A formal reply to the rote may not
be received for several days, but as
already made clear. formal assurances
that it would be welcome are at hand.
Significant of the character of the doc
ument and the attitude toward it
which both Russia and Japan have as
sumed, it is regarded in official and
diplomatic circles as the firm and de-
cisive step toward ultimate peace.

President Roosevelt's Initiative Warm.

st. Petersburg, June Il. = NJ. Bou-
tiron, first secretary of the French
embassy, had long cor ference with
Foreign Minister Lamsdcrff yesterday
afternoon, and M. Bompard, the
French ambassador, is hurrying back
from Paris France. instead of dis
playing jealousy at the initiative taken
by President Roosevelt with a view to
bringing Russia and Japan together
for peace, has apparently warmly well
coined it and will give 1t cooperation.
No further definite development is
now expected until President Roose-
yclt returns to Washington from his
trip to Virginia.
Statement in the dispatches that
the presidents sole aim IS to bring the
warning powers together in direct ne
gotiations have been confirmed. There
has been no undertaking OH his part
to apprise Russia of the Japanese
terms. nor, it is believed, to find a
preliminary basis for negotiations.
The main obstacle to the presidents
efforts has been removed with the en-
perorss acquiescence in his initiative
and negotiations are probably now
proceeding at Toxic.
