Judge Munger handed down his decision
In the water company controversy Monday

In which he practically sustains the in
junction asked by the Water board that
the various properties Of the water com
pany shall be appraised separately.
The order states that. the plant shall be
appraised as a whole. ''in its entirety
but that the city shall pay for only that
part OF the valuation of the property
which is in the city Of Omaha" The
Florence distributing district should be
separately appraised" said Judge Munger,
also the Dundee South Omaha and East
Omaha properties. The contention of the
City that the mains in the city are larger
than there is any need Of is not to be
considered from the fact that the water
company had the right to anticipate the
future needs and growth OF the city. A
separate appraisal should be made Of the
twenty-five acres and Of the two so-called
government lots within the city included
in the general appraisal. as well as OF the
! properties in Dundee, East Omaha and
South Omaha. 1t is mandatory on the part

Billie Thompson of Sundance, Wyo., a

clothes men of the Omaha police force.
He came down from Sundance yesterday
with his father. They brought several
carloads of cattle with them and last
night went out to see the town. He got
separated from his father at Ninth and
Capitol avenue. and while wandering UP
and down peeping about to see what he
might, he fell under suspicion of two de-
tectives who proceeded to ''round him up
as he expressed it. He thought ne was
about to be robbed and made run for
the open. They stampeded me-" he said.
They chased him around a lunch wagon
two or three times and then up the street
for a block and more. When caught he
was sure that he would be killed and
shouted until his cries were heard plainly
at the Jail. The officers showed him their
badges, but still he was not convinced
that they were not intending to kidnap
him. He felt better when he saw a man
In uniform "cantering up the walk" and
at last consented to be taken to the jail
where he kept the whole force in roars Of
laughter by his quaint mannerisms. III

sOeiation Body In Omaha

The wives of members OF Post A. Travel
ers' Protective association are organizing a
woman,s auxiliary. One meeting has been
held and another is to be called soon for
the adoption of a constitution. 1t will be
one OF about six such organizations in the
United States and the only one west OF De-
catur. Ill.
The organization has been the dream of
some OF the members for more than a year.
II is said the majority OF members OF the
post have been in favor OF it. but the move
ment has been blocked by influences inside
the board of directors. Recently the mem
bers OF the post entertained their wives one
evening at the Commercial club. One man
conceived the idea of overruling the board
through women, and the question was put
TO the women as to whether they wished to
form an auxiliary. The vote was almost
unanimously in the Affirmative. OF course
the board of directors yielded gracefully.

PRUSSIA FIGHTING CHOLERA
Measures Taken by the GermR N
Authorities IL Having
Good Eject.

WASHINGTON, Nov. t3.-rhe public
health and marine hospital service in its
bulletin this week has report on Asiatic
cholera in Europe. The following is an
excerpt from its Berlin advices:
The official report from Russia. as re-
ceived by the Imperial German Health
department indicate a remarkable increase
I'm the number of cases of cholera in the
districts Immediately adjoining the Russo
German frontier.
The measures taken by the German
health offcers seem to have the desired
effect, and a focus is obliterated very soon
after its establishment by their prompt,
vigorous action. In view of the fact that
cholera is increasing in Russia In the
provinces adjoining East Prussia and
Cinlicia and In the districts which are
drained by the Vistula and which are in
direct water communication with Prussia.
constant vigilance will be necessary on the
part of German officers to prevent infec-
ton of Prussia. The ease with which
infection might be introduced and the
difficulty of the problem faced by the Ger
man situation may be best appreciated by a
careful study of the map OF southwestern
Russia. Galicia and Prussia.
The report adds that the German sani-
tary officers are doing splendid work.
