From Tuesday's Dally
The es.-i:l of the r'(y council last
e:iirg v?.s e.ne that was short an.i
wet, lastirg only a little over half
v. hour. The chief interest of the
recti.-.;' to most persons had been
hat of the light question, an;! it was
.housht that the city governing body
would try to wrestle with this prob
lem, i-rt the lijrht committee of the
TL!.;il was r.ol ready to bring in

Nc : aska Lighting company and the
cor...vittee are discu.-sirg the replac

Nt-i-: a.-ka company with a new one
drawn along lines fixed by the light
r.-..Tuttee. and in order to further
movement the committee was
i.'iT: until th next meeting to get a
iil.:t ready for presentation.
I'i-c Chief A. F. Braun presented a
e:.:t to the council covering the
mailers of ! is department, and e.-pLi-niiitr
the many bills that were
j . e n.ted lo the council as the result

d pa; irr.ent v. jss kept busy for several
!.. wis. lie also made special mention
of the .-e! vices of Georee Hcbson,
v.hi wi's not a member of the depart

f-.r Ins effort-- toward extinguishing
the Iiarr.es that seemed certain to

section of the city. He also request

tie i '.-.n;-il r.u'no; ie ! the committee
to ntaho the purchase..
The j-jdie' try committee, which has
1 t i t '. -.si ierin-r the communication
:
.1.
. l; ;gs in. regard to tne v.orK
rear his plr.ee. enclosed with
.-;r :e;':t a statement from City
A '.;; :..-y Tidd. in which he stated
he h.-.d tried to get :t!io definite un-
Yr.-terding which the work cn
I-m.uT'i Sixth . trect could be done, but
hn he coul i rot r-me to any agree
ment with Mr. Briggs, but denied
sb'tr the language ascribed to him.
TIe ;!.- gave ns opinion that the city
-.cu;d i t be "liable for a cent for the
-vrk ".c.:ie there. The committee
e- .rrmended that th report of the
t- rttorney be adopted and placed
on fiV.
Mayor Satt.V-r introduced at the
-e:t:r.g a resolution expressing the
r.'.irr.crit of the council in regard to
: e splendid vork of the tire depart
ment r.t the fbc on Christmas dav
re thanking the fire boys for their
r? ts. The i"olut!on also ap
r'.priated the sum of $25 as a pres
't to the boys for their use. Coun
!:r-an Lu.-hinsky moved the adoption
r-f the resolution, which was second
ed by Councilman Johnson and pass
or! by the unanimous vote of the
council.
The engineers in charge of the
vc:k of curbing and guttering on
Main street presented a partial esti
mute of the work done, in order that
tne contr .iCtcrs mignt receive pay
me r.t for the work, and this led to
cot -:.'erab'e discussion as to the ad
vi. ability of making this move of ac
ceping the woik which is still incom
p!ce.
CourciTnan Streiht inquired as to
whetlitr or not the proper steps ha
1 een taken by the contratcors to see
lhat the c-urbing and guttering was
covered in proper shape to prevent its
freezing r.t night before it was
thoreugh!y set.
City Attorney Tid 1 stated that the
engineers had not fully approved of
the work done so far, and he did not
think the city should accept the work
ur.til it had been inspected and tested
as it should be.
This sentiment was also expressed
by Councilman Johnson of the Fourth
ward, who did not think the city
.-hould go-ahead and take the work
without havir.tr it fully understood as
I Dm
G
to -whether it was up to specifica
tions or not.
Councilman Reator moved that the
estimate of the work done be referred
buck to the engineers for their ap
proval or disapproval before action
was taken by the council, and this was
approved by a unanimous vote of the
council.
Mr. Tidd, on behalf of the library
L-card, laid before the council a pro
position that has been under con
sideration for some time by the board,
r.nd that nvas of attempting to try and
secure a Carnegie library for this
city. The present building, as stated
by Mr. Tidd, was far too small to ac
commodate the books on hand in the
library and the number of patrons of
the library made it impossible to
handle them in the proper way. The
librarian had gotten in touch with the
state library commission of Nebraska
and inquired as to the steps necessary
to secure the benefits ot the Carnegie
foundation that looks after the found
ing of these libraries, and had writ
ten to the head of the foundation in
the east, and in return had received
an application blank to be signed by
the mayor giving the amount that
the city would appropriate each year
for the care of the library. Under
our present appropriation the library
receives $1,200 a year, which under
the ruling of the Carnegie association
would entitle us to the sum of $12,000
for a building. As is a rule the city
must furnish the site for the library,
but this, as Mr. Tidd stated, could
be handled, as the city owns a lot east
of the city hall. The council, by a
unanimous vote, authorized the mayor
to sign the application for the Car
negie library, which will be sent in
to the headquarters in New York to
await their action.
Councilman Hallstrom called the
attention of the council to the cross
ing on South Sixth street at the
intersection of Granite street, which
was in bad phape, and he wanted it
fixed up at once as it was dangerous.
Councilman Harris asked that the
telephone company in the south parfc
of the city be requested to move
their poles that were in the way and
interferred with the citizens there, as
they were net in the proper place in
the street.
The finance committee of the coun
cil recommended the following bills

dered paid by the council: William

A COUPLE FROM PACI
FIC JUNCTION MARRIED
HERE CHRISTMAS EVE
Frrm TucsJav'e Dally.
The last few days has brought on
quite a revival in the marriage license
department of the county judge's of
fice, as there has been several young
people made happy by the genial
judge. Ill Edwards, aged 24, of Pa
cmc Junction, Iowa, and Miss Elsie
Fowler, aged 20, of the same place,
were united in the bonds of wedlock
on Thursday evening at the court
house, the county judge being sum
moned from' his home to tie the
matrimonial knot, and it being Christ
mas eve, gave him the chance to of
ficiate as Santa Claus. John Barry
and Miss Grace Poland came down
from Omaha Saturday and secured
the necessary papers to permit of
their joining together in wedlock,
and the judge accordingly pronounced
the words that made them as one and
sent them on their way rejoicing
back to the metropolis.
Some Good Hogs.
Louis Born and August Nolting
shipped a carload of fine hogs to the
South Omaha market last week,
which came within 5 cents of topping
the market.

OSTEOPATHY FUL
LT EXPLAINED IS
TO ITS PRACTICE
Dr. G. R. Davis Explains His Manner
of Treating Patients Without
Giving Medicine.
The question, "What kind oi' di;
ease do you treat?" has been ask' .
me so oiten uy people wno are u i
educated in regard to osteopath c
treatment that I am led to believe
that the public take me for a speck I
ist of some sort, and the object of
this article is to make it clear just
what diseases or conditions I trcr.t.
I tlo not specialize in any particular
disease. I am a doctor and am
qualified according to the laws of Ne
braska to practice healing in this
state. I treat ALL DISEASES which
I can benefit. This includes both
acute and chronic conditions of all
kinds.
Now, this does not mean that I
"cure everything." I did not say that.
I have no especial treatment for can
cer, insanity, etc. I do not pretend to
treat what is known to be incurab'e,
but I have successfully treated sev
eral conditions which had been
diagnosed wrong by o'her doctors. I
do not "cure the incurable," but I
have cured diseases which were
thought by several good specialists to
be incurable.
How does osteopathy differ from
medicine?
Here it, is in Dr. Still's own words:
"Osteopathy today represents the
substitution of spiral treatment for
internal medication. It has no fight
against the bath-tub and the diet
kitchen, but against pills and perund."'
Osteopathy is dubbed "a system cf
rubbing" by those who are uninform
ed. In vindication of the charge of
being a "rub doctor" I will say thr.t
the most up-to-date medical books
recommend "rubbing, kneading or
massage" for a large variety ct dis
eases. It you t!on t henevc it cert?:
to nry office and be shown. I have an
up-to-date medical library and I will
be only too glad to prove any or all
of my assertions on medical author
ity. However, I do r.ot pretend Lo
combat disease by "rubbing." Osteo
pathy is not rubbing and osteoptt'i'
do not rub to cure disease. Rubbing
is a medical procedure and is employ
ed mostly in surgical practice.
Do not mistake osteopathy f .ir
chiropractic. Osteopathy is as differ
ent from chiropractic as the minist y
is different from the practice of lw.
It is not my purpose here to kne
preachers, lawyers nor chiropractor.-:,
but I want it understood that I uti
neither a preacher, a lawyer nor a
chiropractor, but I am a doctor ol
osteopathy. I treat all conditions th z
any doctor can treat successfully, and
some which they cannot. This i i-
cludes minor surgery of all kir.c ' .-, j
fractures, dislocations, etc., as well .v j
diseases of women, obstelria, in
fectuous diseases, fevers, etc.
Now, the fact that you tlo not un
derstand how I can cure infectuo.-.s
diseases, fevers, etc., may (to yo.:
mind) argue against me. but do you
know how the M. D. treats them?
Certainly not. Yet he treats the:n.
It took me three years in college lo
learn how to do it successfully. Hovv,
then, can you know how it's done?
My business is to heal the sick. I
don't know nor caie what your's is.
there's an old English saying, "The
proof of the pudding is in he eating'
If you're sick give me a trial and see
WHAT I can do, and don'i, worry
abeut HOW I do it. There are sev
eral reasons why I do not use drugs;
one is because I can get better resu'ts
without them; another is because the
best medical writers condemn their
use.
The price of treatment at the office
is $1.50.
Outside of office, :?2.G0.
For treatment in country add livery
bill and $2.00.
