New water works,


OF extreme Import TO the city was the
building Of the new water works system
at the Union Stock yards, which needs
must have a supply Of water. aggregating
100000 gallons per day.
The plant Is located at the river and o
street and the water is conducted to the
yards and packing houses by means of
immense conduits which are filled by
electric compressors.
The establishment OF an independent
water plant filled a want long felt by the
packing interests. In summer heavy
shipments OF cattle make demand on
the water supply that cannot be filled by
ordinary means. Heretofore, with the
limited supply OF water at command, the
stockmen have been forced 10 adopt every
means OF saving the cattle from the III
effects OF drouth at time when the
least loss Of weight will materially de-
crease their market value.
The granting OF the franchise TO estab-
lish a water system Independent OF the
one now used has encouraged the live
stock industry and packing houses to re-
newed efforts TO make South Omaha the
greatest live stock market in the world.
schools Are strong.
The schools OF the city, both public and
private have advanced both In methods
and results and may well be compared
with any system in the country. Besides
the 5000 children enrolled in the public
schools there are several thousand at
tending the pRroehial and private schools
OF the city.
The school OF 81. Agnes and the
Bohemian school are furnishing funda.
mental education to several hundred chill
dren. Besides these there are private
night schools where the children OF for
eigners may attend and learn the English
language and the rudlments Of commercial
education.

Dodson's Live-Tone Persuades 1t To
Work Naturally and Safely-No
Restriction of Habit or Diet.
If you have a sick horse. you cannot
make him work by beating him, and if
you try it you are liable to ruin him
forever. It's the same way with your
liver. When it becomes torpid and
sluggish, you can take calomel and
whip it into action, but the calomel
will leave your body weaker and sicker
than ever. Calomel is a very powerful
chemical make from mercury.
A perfect substitute for calomel,
that has all of it's medicinal properties
with none of its dangerous and uncer-
tain folIow-ups, is Dodson's Liver
Tone.
S. L. Raines drug store sells bod
sons Liver Tone with the guarantee
that if you don't find it a perfect sub
stitute for calomel, this store will give
you your money back. Dodson's Liver
Tone is a true tonic for the liver, pure
~ vegetable, and with such a pleasant
taste that it is no trouble to get chill
dren to take it. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible for it to do any harm, because it
simply persuades the liver to do what
it ought to do-no more and no less.

Combined With Silks or 5stlns They

Much DssIrsd-kevsitiss
Among New Materials.

Transparent materials are just as
prominent among the new fabrics a.
they have been for several seasons
past. And from all adyices TO this
hour. II seems that veilings are to be
in quite as strong favor for fall and
winter az they were for spring and
summer. So long as the oyerskirt
remains-and II is even more popular
now than 1t was three months ago
fabrics OF contrasting material VIII
continue to appear In the wardrobe.
And what Is so effective In contrasts
as silks or satins with gauzy weaves!
One of the fancies for the next sea-
non will undoubtedly be the yelling OF
brocades with chifons, mousseline and
thin marquisettes. Some OF the new
nrocades provided for this use r
passing lovely. Many OF them are
shot ~abundantly with gold in actual
metal or colored silk, and the CLEAN OF
this metallic effect will greatly en-
nance the richness OF handsome
gowns. Some chinons are shot with
tinsels or are embroidered with II.
Embroidered effects among the trans
parent materials are abundant
For simpler gowns, the chifons and
their kind will continue to be used
over stripes and checks and over
changeable silks.
There are q good many novelties
among the new materials. One OF
them Is a velvet OF tweed effect In
the two-toned shot appearance Of the
sturdy wool. The result is not happy;
but 1t is fashionable. which is the
next thing. ChangeSble effects appear,
not only among the new silks, but
~abundantly among the woods. even In
the heavy suitings. And many OF the
two-toned woods which are mixed on
one side and are plain on the other
are shot or 1ecked with bright colors.
Some OF these color schemes are very
effective. Dark tones with touches OF
bright color seem to be very much
liked by the ~tailors, who are buying up
pieces In which they predominant as
fast as they come in. The double.
faced satins are here once nor and
promise to make the h~andsomest coats
and capes for the fall with the under
color cropping out in trimmings and
the hoods which e SO prevalent.
Even the sweater has taken to Itself
a hood, the hood usually being Of the
accessory color. One such sweater
was white, with a band Of tan color
down the front and around the neck,
and the hood was Of the tan. Big
hoods are evidently coming In again
for cold weather wraps.

FOUR ORDERED
 HELD FOR TRIAL

Tulsa. Okla, May 21.-Mrs Laura Reuter-, Guy D. Mckenzie. Grover Bell lew, McKenzie's chauffeur. and Joe Ba- ker, jointly charged with murder in connection with the death of Charles T. Reuter-. the woman's husband, were ordered held for trial before the dis- trict court at the conclusion of their preliminary hearing late today. Mrs. Reuter- will be released under bond. Application seeking the release of the other defendants will be contested.
 Reuter-, prominent attorney of Tulsa, was found dead at his home on the morning of May with two bullet wounds In his head. The arrest of Mrs. Reuter-, Mckenzie. their neighbor, and Bellew and Baker followed.
 Because of the prominence of the parties involved the hearing attracted unusual attention, fashionably gowned women making up the greater part of the audiences during the taking of tes- timony, which extended through a week. That the sympathies of the wom- en were with Mrs. Reuter- was apparent.
 The prosecution endeavored princi- pally te show friendship between Mrs Reuter- and Mckenzie. The defense de- pended mainly on evidence tending to establish alibis.
