WHO WILL RUN THE PLANT
This and other Perplexing Questions
Now Confront the City.

This and other Perplexing Questions
Now Confront the City.
What can the city of Omaha get for the
Sc, 900 of bonds, voted November last,
to pay the appraised prts for the water
works. with whatever legal fees and other
extras that might accrue?
This is the question that is now interest
ing the men of the city who are acquainted
with such affairs and also to some extent
the city officials. The general impression
is that the bona market is not at this
time in the best OK condition for the profit
able sale of bonds OF this character. Bond
buyers will not only want to know that
everything about the issue is regular but
also that the property back of the bonds
is OF gilt edged character and likely to
pay its way and pay interest as It accumu-
lates, as well as taking care of the prin-
cipal eventually.
1t is we'll understood that the water COM
pany will not take the bonds In payment,
even If the Water board tenSers them. Pres
ident Woodbury. has said much and that
is the understanding among the local off,
GERS OF the company. The legal advisers
of the company also declared some time
ago that bonds are not cash, and the money
must be rendered when the deed passes to
the city.
when the city digs up the coin and
takes the water works, who is to run the
plant?" is another question that looms
large to the city officials, even though they
are to have no hand. act or part in the
management Members of the Water board
are all supposed to be busy business men,
with their hands full OF their own affairs.
And 1t is supposed, naturally, they will
want to institute their own system and
| enforce their own ideas as to the conduct
OF the plant. Then, 1t is pointed out, SO
many claims have been advanced by mem
bers OF tire board touching the great profit
TO be made from the operation of the water
works, that 1t will be up to them strong
TO make a showing that will vindicate their
| Judgment. That this can be done under
municipal control some councilmen are in.
cllned TO doubt, even though they lean &c
municipal ownership
The admitted need for an extra mair
from Florence is a third problem facing
the Water board and the city at large. And
where is the money TO come from for this
| and for the greatly needed extensions Of
hydrants and MAINS in many sections Of
the city? ask the business men. They doub
that a second issue OF wafer works bond
can be marketed with any success RICH

former president, must govern Egypt. He
hoped and believed that the English would

AS whole. the speech constituted the
most forcible expression on foreign topics
that the distinguished visitor has made
during his European tour. He dealt prin-
cipally with the British policy in Egypt,
which is today one of the most discussed
of Great Britain's colonial questions.
His outspoken views sent thrill through
the 1000 auditors. which is likely to be
felt outside the wallis of the ancient coun-
oil hall.
Guild HALL has been the scene of many
stirring events since its erection early in
the fifteenth century. 1t was there that

If 1900 men-druggists, who ought
to know, because sickness, drugs and
medicine are their business-should
tell you that certain medicine was
good for your kidney trouble, would
you believe them2
After you had explained about your
urine, your broken rest, and all the
other symptoms which the kidney suf-
ferer easily recognizes; after you had
secured a proper diagnosis from your
physician and felt certain that your
kidney disease wasn't "lumbago,"
rheumatism Of the back" or an at
tack of indigestion"-as some patent
medicine advertisements might make
you think-if these 1900 druggists
should all say that next to repu-
table physicians prescription, This is
the best-known remedy for your kid
ney trouble; If anything can help you
this will; II there is virtue in any
readymade medicine there is double
virtue In this" would you believe
them?
That is just what the 1900 drug
gists who are members of the Ameri-
can Druggists Syndicate do say to you
about A, d. s. Kidney Remedy, and
they say 1t because they know this is
one of the best products Of this vast
organization.
The A. d. S. druggists realize too
plainly the seriousness of kidney dis
case-they understand fully the re-
sponsibility of offering any treatment
calculated to benefit it--and, while
they would prefer to see every one go
to a good physician to be treated,
they appreciate the fact that there are
many who can't or won't-and for
these people these druggists have pre-
pared this A. ID. s. Kidney Remedy,
and say: Take tive know It Is

Attack.
(Erom a staff Correspondent1

DIES MONIES May 91.-(Specal Tcle-
gram.) -Iowa and Des Mcines shippers are
seriously contemplating making some form
of resistance, either In court or otherwise,
to the increase of freight rates, which are
scheduled to go into effect tomorrow and
concerning which suit is threatened from
Washington. The local freight bureau has
conducted an extensive investigation and
finds that the increase will be enormously
expensive to this city the claim being
made that the interior cities of Iowa will
be hurt most. In addition it has been
known that an increase in grain rates is
contemplated. The Iowa commission has
thus far failed to take any action and
shippers believe they will have to take il
up independently.
Editor Has Malaria.
James nj. Pierce, editor and proprietor
Of the Iowa Homestead, who has just re-
turned from three months spent in Cen
trail America, has been suffering from
malaria since his return home. Just be-
fore leaving Columbia he was bitten by
mosquito, which had just filled itself up
full of bad blood from a native ahd the
aforesaid bad blood was deposited in tho
veins of Mr.. Pierce, giving him a strong
dose of malaria.
