The newer bonds for dlstrlcta 10S ami
10; nro all made out and ready to nell. A
bond buyer In Chicago ban made an offer
of pnr for Die securities, which will doubt
less be nccepted by tho city olllclals. These
bonds are considered ftrst-clnss here, the
histories having been prepared under the
special direction of City Attorney Lambert,
so that there can hardly be any objection
made by municipal bond buyers.
What Is woirylng the city olllclals Is the
delay In tho inatler of the $70,000 refunding
Issue authorized Inst November. Tills issue
wan first sold to a representative of a
Chicago bond bouse for a premium of $700.
llefure the transaction was closed certain
cltl.cmt made public nsertlnii that more
premium could be secured If the council
would bold a public auction. The original
igreeiuent was then wiped out and an auc
tion held.
C. II. llnniinii of Counc il llluffs bid $2,100
premium nnd the Ismip was awarded to him.
Mr, I Ijui nn n aslicd for n lilstor of the
bondH, nnd slmr lilti. roj:cliitot t.he paper?
not-M' word has bruit heard from him: He
iSbCrled lhat he desired to send the papers
to his nttorneys in the east, but It Is re
ported here thnt nothing of the sort has
been done. Rumor has It that tho histories
have been placed In pigeon holes by Ilati
nmwiml thnt he floes not propone to carry
out his pnrt of the ngreement. When the
council meets In regular session on Keb
ruary 1 It Is moro than likely thnt Mr.
Ilunnnu will bo culled to account mid bo
given a certain length of time In which
lo determine whether he will nccept( the
bonds or not.
From a Council llluffs man who was In
South Omitlin yesterday It was learned that
thcro was little hope of selling South
Omaha bonds until some decided action
was tnken on tho new charter. It Ib consid
ered that with a now charter the city will
bo placed In a much better financial con
dition than It Is. The election of a tux
commissioner will ver likely cause nn
Increase In the valuation, and this is much
Jeslrcd by those Interested In the municipal
flnnnclal problem.
As soon mi the charter is printed a re
quest far 100 copies will be made nnd then
there will likely be n public meeting called
for the purpose of discussing the sections
over which there appears to bo somo con
troversy. I nrrrnsi'il Mull Nervlre ItciiiieMleil.

No matter how hard your

thereon n brick building, to bo used ns a
pesthouse. It is nsserted that It would bo
an cas matter to seenro a rann and wife to
take charge of the place for the privilege of,
farming the twenty acres. In this way'
thcro would be an emergency hospital pro
vided, which could be used nt any tlmo of
the year nnd ns occasion required.
It has been learned that tho land neces
sary could be purchased for not more than
$2,000 nnd n building suitable for the pur
poses Intended erected for ns much more.
Not more than $3,000 would bo needed to
carry out the plans suggested, and In soma
circles tho Idea Is considered a good one.

It was reported In South Omaha yester
day thnt the Northwestern railroad had
let n contract for tho grading of tho tract
of Innd recently secured by It In the north
ern part of the city. It will bo remembered
that after tho land had been secured tho

Thirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth, West A, West
11 nnd West C streets nnd parts of tho

t'pon the representation of attorneys for
the railroad company tho request was
grnnted by the council nnd nn ordinance
passed under a suspension of tho rules. A
statement was mndo to tho city fathers
that tho rnllrond compony would proceed
nt nn early date to expend In tho neigh

letting of the grading contract Is the first
step. This work will bo commenced ns

When the grading In completed a round

Councilman Johnston Is figuring on going
nfter tho street commissioner on account of
tho condition of tho wooden sidewalks.
About two months ago Johnston offered n
motion In tho council, nnd It was adopted,
directing tho street commissioner to pro
ceed nt onco In a systematic raannet 'o re
pair wooden walks all over tho city. Tho
Idea wos to send n couple of men In n
wagon loaded with material up one street
nnd down tho next repairing any defects.
It was hoped that in this way accidents nnd
dnmago suits could bo prevented.
It Is understood that Johnston complains
Hint tho street commissioner Is not doing
hln duty in this respect, and unless thcro Is
n marked Improvement In tho condition of
tho walks, the repairing may bo placod In
the hands of another city official.

After Doctors Fail
Baton Rouge, La.. Feb. 12, 1900.
I was a lulfertr for seventeen yean. I had three family doctors in consultation and they decided that my
health would remain bad until I had a child. They continued to treat me for four years with no success except to
get our money. There were two more years with n great expenditure of money with no sitlilactory results and we
abandoned all hope. Finally our cousin, Jane jones, of Woodvllle, Mill., riald us a visit and finding my health very
bad, Introduced Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Mack.Draught and we decided to give them a trial. My husband then
wrote for a copy of Home Treatment of Female Diseases. After studying its contents, I found all my complaints
outlined, word for word, and sent for a bottle of Wine of Cardui and a package of Thedford's Mack-Draught. After
the use of the first I found relief. I re-ordered until I had used eleven bottles and found my health very
much Improved. To our surprise a baby soon appeared. She Is fust as fat as a pig. Such a thing had not hap.
pened in seventeen years. I would urge all ladies In poor health to use your medicines. They are more than you
claim they are, I have not had any use for a doctor since using the first bottle of your wonderful medicine My
health Is all right In every way. ' Mrs. I. f GERMANY.
WINE 0F CARDUI
Think of her suffering (he agonies of female complaint for seventeen years and the suffering all
unnecessary. Mrs. Germany could have been cured years ago just as well as now had she only taken
Wine of Cardui. She need not have had those '"arrowing pains and grinding aches. Her experience
should Induce every sufferer who reads this paper to g.ve'Wine of Cardui a trial. Instead of wasting
time and money with doctors when no benefit is being received from them, get a bottle of this threat
medicine from your druggist. Wine of Cardui will annihilate those monthly pains which make your
life torture and will bring you a permanent cure. Don't decide you cannot be well even when
doctors have failed. Try Wine of Cardui. All druggists sell $1.00 bottles.
