HUNT EXPLAINS PHONE PLAN
New Proposition VIII 10 Away with
Extra Charges between omaha
and south Omaha.

Discussing the interview with him In The
Bee Wednesday. which has started much
talk among business mon, A. h. Hunt had
this to say yesterday:
That interview was all right generally,
although there were some minor omissions,
perhaps. I neglected to speak OF what We
intended to do for South Omaha. At pres
ent II costs in that city, for a business teie-
phone 10 connect with both cities $3.50 a
year. The South Omaha phone Rlone-that
u.s. the telephone TO talk exclusively with
South Omaha parties-costs $3.50 a year.
This involves, outside OF the cost OF the
phone, an extra charge OF cents from the
South Omaha party or the correspondent or
friend at the other end, whenever he talks
to Omaha.
I'VE propose to install phones in South
Omaha for $3.50. and give free Interchange
between the two cities. I want The Bee to
dwell on this point, as coming personally
from me: and we will put It in the ordi-
nance. There is not going to be any am
biguity surrounding our propositions. We
are going to make them definite and GER
tain.
I'VE have our ordinance almost ready for
presentation TO the council now. II needs
only little scrutiny as TO details. and We
feel very confident that when II is pre-
sented and its terms understood II will
meet with public approval
II expect 20 have the fight OF my life to
get this franchise. The Bell company will
surely stop at nothing to maintain its pres
ent monopoly. The next thing to look for
will be the Importation OF another Vic
Stevens. under that or some other name, as
stool pigeon for the old company with a
proposition for franchise for an independ-
ent system, offering pretended concessions
much greater than mine. But do not be-
lleve they will fool anybody this time
| through this old trick"

pose Of discouraging intemperance among

some OF the most prominent women, old

an aggressive stand against intemperance

In speaking of the intentions OF the So

AT HIGH WATER
The Flood Plays Many Franks.

Rev. William Alexander Smith,
prominent as the author of many
works on Oriental Travel, has written
fence in Kansas during the floods in
1903. He says:
1--WE lived a full mile from the
nearest point of the Saline river but
when the river overlooked it sent a
food clear into our dooryard and we
had to go about in boats, many of our
neighbors suffering sad experiences
both from loss of life and property.
''We-wife and myself-had an ex-
perience quite unique and thereby
hangs a tale. My wife for years past,
and myself as well, had been annoyed,
panied and worried so greatly at
times by dyspeptic trouble as to take
much of the joy OF living out of life.
Il had seen Postum so literally
spoken of and we suffered so much
from coffee that one day, some months
ago, I desided to try some Postum for
ourselves. We liked its aroma and
taste SO we were satisfied from the
start and we quit coffee.
Gradually my digestive organs
have grown healthier and stronger
my sick headache left and we both
could eat almost what we pleased
without discomfort.
but was this a result of the dis
continuance of tea. and coffee?
THE flood came and found us out
of Postum and shut off from all sup
plies in the village for days. But
we got hold Of some left over tea and
a little coffee and this we used as long
as it lasted This was the only respect
in " hich our meals We're different
from what we had been using. but
change came over US My wife
thought I had more temper than
grace while I, in my turn. thought
we'll, never mind, only she did not
seem to appear to be the jolly creature
she was before flood days. She said
she did not rest well and that made
her irritabl and on my part suffered
pains in my digestive organs night and
day that would have caused the meek
est man to speak unadvisedly with
his liDs-'
well. the clouds cleared away. the
flood abated, dry land appeared and
we made ready to visit the grocery
store and my wife suggested that we
needed more Postum. To tell the rest
in a few words, when Postum came
back the domestic atmosphere beca me
more genial. in fact about normal.
Our troubles and sick feelings disap-
peared and there can be no doubt
they were due to tea and coffee for
they quickly yielded when Postum was
used in their place
