Manager Fairfield on water.

OMAHA. April 2S.-To the Editor of The
Bee: l am getting very tired of these
stories about contaminated water, which
are obviously disseminated by some of the
newspapers for what they are pleased to
consider political purposes. The city water
beng furnished at this time is not only as
good as has been supplied for the last ten
or fifteen years, but even better than for
several years. 1t is also the same quality
OF water which will be supplied by the
city after its acquisition of the works.
There are no sewers discharging above
either Of our intakes and the proportion
of albuminoid ammonia is considerably less
than has been present in many previous
seasons without causing disease. The Water
board has only itself to blame If there is
blame for the continued use Of
the Burt street pumping sta
ton. II is now nearly three years
since the water company calle1o attention
to the necessity for a duplicate main from
Florence, to which the board, in its wis
dom, gave no heed. SO far as the quality
of water is concerned, it is just as good at
Burt street as at Florence. 1 realize that
Mr.. John L. Webster is one OF the best
hydraulic engineers in his office. but he
seems disposed to overlook little things
like the friction head produced by a line of
main eight or ten miles long. Despite
claims 20 the contrary, 1 humbly submit
that the capacity Of our thirty-siX-inch
main is not unlimited.
The only comment 1 have to make on
the campaign is this: That there are plenty
OF legitimate reasons for voting the water
bonds without resorting to disreputabie
methods and misrepresentation or cheap
attempts to brighten water users into ty-
phold. L. NJ. FAIRFIELD.

Yards Line
Again a Railroad
Judge Kennedy Rules as Did the Fed
eral Court on This Propo-
sition.

Argument is going on in the suit Of Mrs.
Olema Swanson against the Union Stock
Yards company for the death of Nels
Swanson.
According to the statutory provision the
petition of the defense was granted that
the court give his instruction before ar
gument was made. The reverse order is
the usual one. Judge Kennedy, besides
declaring that the company is a railroad,
ruled favorably to the plaintiff in another
point. He declared that it was negligence
on the part of the company If there had
been no regulations provided for warning
men working on the tracks. The defense
asserts that it was the business of Swan
son, who was a section hand, to watch out
for himself.

Brown Held Guilty,
Gets Life Penalty
Negro Murderer Condemned by Jury
in Forty Minutes Time Yes
terday Afternoon.

Henry Brown was found guilty Of muir
der in the first degree yesterday after
noon by the jury in forty minutes from
the time It retired. The penalty was fixed
at life imprisonment.
The verdict was the expected one, al
though it was felt by a few that there
was a possibility of hanging and such a
punishment was suggested to the jury by
County Attorney English in summing up.
English began speaking when court con-
vened after the noon intermission. In the
morning ]. NJ. Mcfarland had pleaded In
the prisoners behalf. Deputy County At
torney L. ]. Patti speaking before him.
There is no likelihood that a new trial
will be fought for, although Brown hopes
for it, because the man might very likely
find himself worse off at the end than he
now Is.
Brown celebrated washington's birthday
by stabbing to death Sam White, another
colored man, in the Union Pacific yards.
He had been jealous of White for some
time, a colored girl. Lille Wilson. being
the woman involved.

Of the present administration. Mr.. zimman
drew the conclusion that Dahlmsn had not
done anything. and then proceeded 20 ex-
pose the record OF the council. as based
upon the records Of that body. Giving
facts and figures for his statements and
challenging any person or the adminis-
tration or the democratic or independent
press to refute his declarations, he attacked
the present council and said he never be-
fore sat with such an incompetent bunch
Of men"
Their chief end In office. he said. was to
support a gang of democratic office holders.
"A newspaper story on how the demo-
Gratis had paid off so much bonded in
debtedness and had otherwise conducted an
economical administration, was not true.
The money used by the democrats in their
economical administration, " he said. had
been left by the republicans through the
operation Of the republican scavenger tax
law. which was operated by the work Of
a republican city attorney. John p.
Breen.
The democrats have failed on the 81
| gas and other planks In their platform OF
three years ago. There is a deal up by the
mayor and council on one hand and the
franchised corporations on the other,
whereby the latter are not to be taxed
for the occupation OF the streets and the
administration is to be supported for re-
election.
A. w. Jefferis spoke Of the fact that
Omaha Is without a voice in one Of its
citizens in the United States senate. without
a voice in the majority in the house, and
it's democratic administration Is without q
voice with the state legislature. although
the latter is democratic.
1T is time" he declared, FOR Omaha to
again take it's place with cities of impor-
lance and progress by throwing off the
present incompetent city government. the
weight Of democracy, that is now holding
us back. BY so doing. we would take a
step toward having an Omaha republican
in the national senate, an Omaha republi-
can in the house OF representatives, and a
republican state legislature, which would
not throw us down and give us s o'clock
home rule"
A dean, economical and law~abiding
administration was endorsed by Howard
II. Baldrige, as what the people wanted,
and what the republican ticket would give,
II elected. The enforcement of the laws,
statutes and ordinances he declared to be
the policy of the party. as compared with
the violation and nonobservance of them
by the democrats.
The candidates. besides Mr.. Breen, who
spoke, we're Sam X. Greenlcaf for city
clerk, John S. Helgren for comptroller, f.
