a rcscript which contains I'm order or

is only indirectly that the word bull"
is applied to the document itself. 1t

which the paper would not be recog-

wax. 1t was originally OF lead and
is still commonly Of that material.
Lead was used for seals In the time OF
the ancient Romans and Is still used
for that purpose In Italy. The Italian
name OF this bit of lead Is "bolla." 1t
was i'm Latin "bulla.' Both the mate
rial and the form have dropped out of

the bula rested on the breast This

which contained some charm against
sickness and the evil eye" which was
dreaded even more than disease. At a
later time the bulla was worn by
tho sons Of freedmen at Rome. Its use
was a mark of rank and gcntility.

How Colds Are Caught.

Most colds are taken ut home in the
early morning before the furnace gets
well started or In the fall of the year
before the furnace Is lighted, according
to Modern Medical Science. People
shiver into their clothes In cold rooms
or sit in their apartments chilled by
the first fall winds. and then wonder
why they catch cold.
In every room there should be some
means of raising little heat quickly
ut times when the furnace cannot be
depended upon. either gas or an oil
stove. The price of such stove will
save Its cost many times over In doc
tors bills.-New York Press.

been put before the district
court of Harrison county in the
form of an appeal from the de-
cision of the drainage board,
and Fensler's idea was that it
was good business policy for the
litigants to get together and
agree upon a basis of settle
ment before the case had come
to trial. The two county at
torneys told Fensler that the
board had no right to make a
settlement; that the matter was
now before the court, and the
court alone had any jurisdic-
ton.
MADE CAJrsTIC REMARKS
Fensler INDUCED i'm a num-
Der of caustic remarks in the
course of a lengthy argument
with the attorneys. and COM
mented warmly on the employ
ment of a different sort of
''horse-sense" in dealing with
ditch matters from that used
by people in ordinary business
transactions. The board re-
fused to consider any PROPOSE
tion leading to a settlement.
The Harrison county portion
of the ditch board was repre-
scented by Supervisors Hos
brook, Hall and Murray, while
Supervisors Brandes, Bulls,
Setz and Spencer represented
Pottawattamie county. Both
auditors and both county at
torneys were present.
Seth Dean was allowed a
warrant for $500 of the salary
due him as engineer in charge

Board Session

Board Session
| Nonparicl August
The Iowa Culvcrt company
of this city was awarded the
contract yesterday for furn 'sh-
ing 500 fcetor more of corruga-
ted iron pipe to be furnished in
car lots and used in the con-
struction OF the Harrison-Pot-
tawattamie drainage ditch.
The size Of the pipe varies
from II to n inches. S. G.
Hunter, of Atlantic, was
awarded a similar contract for
300 feet or more. The amounts
4 for which the contracts call are
a very small part of what will
be actually required, but it was
thought best to allow the thing
tostand that way and then order
the goods as they might be re-
lquired.
Bids for furnishing the pipe
were opened yesterday at the
morning session of the joint
drainage board, the bidders be-
ling S. G. Hunter, of Atlantic,
the Iowa Culvert company of
Council Bluffs; Beach Manu-
featuring company, Charlotte,
Mich; Wilson Concrete COM
pany, Red Oak; Ottumwa
Boilerworks, Ottumwa; c. w.
Hull company, Omaha; A. e.
! Shorthill company, Marshall
town; United States Iron 4
Pipe Foundry company, Chi
cago; Isham-Miller company,
Buttcrnut, Mich.
There was a considerable di-
versity in the style of goods
upon which the bids were of
fered, and good deal of varia-
ton in price. The bids were
all tabulated by Engineer Seth
Dean. who said he would be
able to have them in shape for
a clearer understanding at the
afternoon session.
OPPOSED TO CONCRETE,
Prices were given on CON
; crete piping, although it was
understood that the board
would not use this on any ac-
count, there being a decided
preference for metal. AS now
awarded the choice will lie be-
tween a solid corrugated iron
pipe and ingeniously con-
structed affair OF the sectional
sort. The latter is put up in a
slightly different form by the
Beach company and the lsham
Miller people, both Michigan
concerns. 1t consists of three
J pieces of cast iron with a SER
les of projections and indenta-
tions on the edge of each so as
to fit into one another and the
, pressure from above only serv-
ing to make them fit the closer
together.
The piping put up by the
different firms differs princi-
pally in the form, the Beach
being in the shape of a triangle,
with curved sides, while the
lsham-Miller is flat on the bot
tom and has the two upper sec
! tions curved. Representatives
9 of several, concerns were pres
: ent at the opening of the bids
and listened to the reading of
the figures with lively interest,
as it meant a gosd-sized con-
|. tract for some one to furnish
!" material for a $230,O0O ditch.
) SOME COMPLAINTS HEARD.
Previous to the opening of
the bidsa number of complaints
were heard from those who
claim to have been assessed too
high. Some of these had for
some reason failed to appeal
from the decision of the board,
and they were turned down on

To Meet in Omaha Next Year

The Nebraska Retail Hardware
Mems association adjourned at Lin
coin to meet in Omaha next year. The
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Nathan Roberts, Omaha; first
vice president, Thomas Moore, Alma;
second vice president, c.. L. Kelly,
North Platte; third vice president. S.
c. Oaks, Seward Members of the
executive committee are Daniel Kaya-

The officers not named by the rank
and lille of the association are secre-

OF Lincoln is the present secretary
and H. ]. Hall of Lincoln, treasurer.
This matter was left to the members
of the executive committee, who are
to report later. The office of secre-
tary is the only salaried one main
tanned by the organization.
Resolutions were adopted opposing
the parcels post which it is said is
being advocated by the great COM
mercial catalogue houses of large
cities. 1t was the sentiment of the
majority that jobbers will have to be
more careful about selling to private
persons and contractors to the finan-
cial detriment of retailers. A resolu-
ton was passed calling on hardware
jobbers not to sell to grocers here and
there who carried hardware stocks
where hardware retailer was doing
business.
