LINCOLN', Nov. 21. (Special. )-ln the
I'm of Poppleton against MooreR thn su
bremo court holds that an ordinance ex
tending from June 11, 15(10, to September 1,
HOS, the right of the Otnnha Water com
pany to exercise, Its franchise free from the
city's option to purchase, without compen
sation to the city, nnd without aubtnltsloii
of the question of such extension to h pop
talar vote, Is forbidden by section 19 of the
Omaha city charter. Further It Is declared
lhat on extension of a franchise, thouah
taado In tbe form of an ordinance, Is not
ueh an act of legislative power ns to be
jre from Interposition of the courtB by In
junction, where, such extension Is clearly
tontrary to the clly'a statutory charter and
la liable to operate to the prejudice of tax
payers and water users. The case was
ippeAted from the district court of Douglas
county. The opinion delivered by the su
preme court waa delivered by Commissioner
Stastlngs.
The queslon involved In the case Is: Has
taxpayer and water user a right to cn
Ijotn the mayor and city council from pass
ing nn ordinance postponing the city's right
"lo purchase at nn appraised valuation thn
slant of the water works company furnish
ing It water under nn exclusive franchise?
Term f the Krnnrhlac,
tly the terms of Its franchise tho water
works company of Omaha was subject, after
twenty years from June 11, 1880, to have Its
plant taken at any time by tho city upon a
Valuation to be made by three engineers,
Inn to be selected by the city, one by the
krater works company and tbeso to cboote
a third. In 18D7 a. nronosltlon was made
ty the company to furnish water for thn
(position If the city's right to purchase
were postponed to September 1, 1908. An
trdlnanco providing for tho postponement
it the original ordinance was Introduced
)n the city council and was pending for poa
iage when by tho Interposition of an In
junction Ita further consideration was pre
sented. At temporary Injunction against
lhe passage, of tho ordinance was allowed
(gainst In any wny adopting tho proposl
lion of the water works company, against
passing the ordinance or any resolution or
proposition which would to any extent em
barraes or curtail tho right of the city to
buy tho plant. At the trial of the case the
Injunction was made perpetual and tho de
pendants appealed. Tho questions raised he
torn the supremo court wore as to thn sum
felency of the allegations of the plaintiff to
Authorize tho action of thn court.
Commissioner Hastings says In the opin
ion: "It Is claimed that the proposed
taction of the city council should bo en
joined becauso It cedes away nil future
'powers of tho city, because the right to
acquire tbe water plant by exercise of em
inent domain was not reserved, because the
city was disabled from performing Its duty
of control over thn water plaut nnd Its
Ipower of purchase would ho lost, an ex
icluslvn franchlsn of great value would be
'given away, that all the belongings of the
water company were worth less than $3,
000,000, but It was proposed on the passage
'of this ordinance to Issue stock and mort
gage bonds for $10,250,000, .that there was
no compensation for the extension, that
ivater prlcea and hydrant rentals were ex
tortlonate and would be continued, that no
DPortunlty for competition waa allowed
that It waa a fraud 'upon tho taxpayers and
water consumers, that It would pass unlcBH
enjoined, that such action by tho council
Was unauthorized, would i-aiisn Irreparnblu
Injury, was fraudulent and In violation of
loctlons 19 and 135 of tho city charter, that
lucb extension of thn franchise was unlaw
ful under tho terms of aectlon 19 of the
charter, that It would prevont tho use of
the water plant nnd that tho water com
pany, If Improvements wero made under
the ordinance, would claim an estoppel
Against the city.
Violation of thn Charter.
"The Important objection to the ordi
nance itself seems to be that Ita passage
Is a palpablo violation nt the provisions
of section 19 of tbo charter. It Is not seri
ously contended that tho proposed action
waa not In violation of this provision? but
It la contended that such action, however
unauthorized, cannot be prevented by an
Injunction. It Is claimed that thn author
ity of tho city council Is legislative and
that a court of equity will not Interfere
'with It. It Is urged and numerous au
thorities cited to sustain the proposition
that the utmost that can be dono Is to en
join attempts to enforco Invalid ordinances
'and that any attompt on the part of a
court of equity to control action merely
'legislative Is without Jurisdiction.
"Where-the extension of n franchise Is
expressly prohibited, except upon condi
tion of providing an annuity for tho city
and. submitting tho question of Its exten
sion to a vote at a general or special elec
tion, It would seem that an attempt to ex
hend It without complying with such con
Mltlons would be an net entirely beyond
'tho power and Jurisdiction of tho eoun
Icll. The question as to equitable Inter
position depends simply upon whether It Is
needed, whether a more passage of an or
dinance or resolution extending n fran
chise without authority Imports such an
Injury, that without special proof of dam
age a citizen, taxpayer nnd wnter user
might hnve a remedy by Injunction,
"Where, however, as In this case, tbe
proposed action of the city's part Involves
tho entering Into or rather continuing In
contractual relations materially affecting
the Interests of citizens and Is nn exten
sion of a franchise not only unauthorized,
but forbidden by the city charter, It would
seem to warrant the trial court's Interpos
ing by Injunction. Tho upholders of the
ordinance, can hardly nrguo with consist
ency that tho proposed notion Is so en
tirely void as to need no Injunction to pre
vent Its effects. It Is, therefore, recom
mended that the Judgment of thn district
court be affirmed."
llreUInn on OMrliil llnllnt.
A written opinion by Chief Justlco Norval
ta delivered In the case of tho state ex re!
IT) France against Douglas Kryo, an action
begun before election to determine tbe ar
rangement or form of thn official ballot.
Tho court held oii.lly at the time of the
trial that It was the duly of the proper of
fleer preparing official ballots to put at
the top and left side of the ballot In black
faced cnpltal type, not less than one-
Ighth of an Inch high, tho name of each
party having candidates on the ballot, and
to the right of each party name n circle
one-halt Inch In diameter, with leaders
connecting tho party name to such circle,
Tbe decision made It porslblo to vole
straight party tickets by the marking of
a single cross at tho top of the ballot.
The law exprctsly provided for this, but
the printed schedule had thn democratic
and populist parties srnuped togethor with
n bracket, making it Impossible, If tha
schedule form was followed, to voto
straight ticket for ono set of candidates by
cither of the two parties.
Judge Norval contends that there is
, reiu4 (or ruuicut la support ot tho coa
tendon both for and against the form of
ballot as provided for In tho pt Intel sched
ule "The question Is." he says, "what
construction shall obtain, the one which
gives force and effect to the plain and ex
plicit provisions of tho statute, or the other
which mnkes the wording of tho statute
yield to tho form proscribed In schedule. It
would seem that form should glvo way to
substance. It Is manifest that the form ot
the ballot as given In tbo schedule would
be Inapproprlatn and could not bo used in
any county where tho nominees of two or
moro patties are not Identical all the way
down the line. Thus, If the people's In
dependent and democratic parties should bn
the same, except as to overseer of road
ways, and there should be no fusion on
such office, tho form of ballot laid down In
Schedule A would bo wholly Inapplicable
and could not he used. To construe the
ctatuto according to Its letter would render
the form of tho ballot uniform throughout
tho stnto and not bo so liable to confuse
the voters as if the form given In tho sched
ule should be held proper, where there ex
isted complete fusion all along the line
between two or moro political parties and
tho letter of tho atatuto control when fimlon
on nominees was n5t completed as to every
office. Every consideration demands that
tho form of tho ballot should bn tho snmo
throughout tho state. Instead of one form
In ono county and a different form In an
other county. Wo are unanimously of tho
opinion that the relator was entitled to tho
relief sought herein and the writ Is accord
ingly allowed."
I'lntlsmnnth Telephone Company.
In tho case of 'the stale ex rel the Platts
rrouth Telephone company against Judgo
Denjamln Daker, Judgment Is given declar
ing It the duty of the respondent, Judge
Daker, to fix a reasonable sum as tho
amount for which n supcrrodeas bond may
be given on an order dissolving a temporary
order of Injunction. The temporary order
was returnable before Judge Dickinson on
November 7. nnd In jrlef It enjoined tho
city of South Omaha, Mayor Kelly and
Chief of Police Mitchell and other officers
of that city from In any manner Interfering
with tho telephono business of the Plaits
mouth company, either by cutting tho wires
leased from tho Postal Telegraph company,
removing Instruments belonging to tho com
pany or prohibiting tho receiving nnd send
ing of messages over Its leased wires. It
wns contended by tho respondent that tho
writ Is a restraining order and that a modi
fication or dissolution thereof Is not such
an order as may be superseded, as In tbo
case of r. temporary Injunction.
The opinion In tho rase was written by
Judge Holcomb. It holds that whero n
temporary order of Injunction has been
granted and subsequently dissolved or mod
ified the party In whose favor tho Injunc
tion was allowed may, as a matter of right
under tho provisions f section 679 of tho
code of civil procedure, have the oinount of
a supersedeaH bond flxod and supersede the
order of dissolution or modification nnd
co.ttlnuo tbo Injunction In force until tho
order Is renewed by an appellate court and
It Is tho duty of tho trial court or Judgo
sitting nt chambers to fix the amount of
such supersedeas bond on thn entry of tho
order of dissolution or modification. A
temporary restraining order pending a
hearing on the application for n temporary
order of Injunction may bo subsequently
dissolved nnd tho party In whoeo favor it
wns allowed is not entitled to have tho or
der of dissolution superseded pending re
vlow, as In tho case of a temporary order
of Injunction.

A remnant of tho litigation arising from
thn (Ireater America exposition was among
the decisions. The case Is entitled Hortou
against the State ex rel William Ilayden
Tho proceeding was Instituted to obtain a
writ ot mandamus commanding certain of
fleers of tho exposition company to Issue
and deliver to tho relators an uncondl
tional warrant upon -the treasurer of tho
corporation for the payment to them of
$10,000. The writ was allowed and the casn
ultimately was carried to thn supremo
court, which originally held that the pro
cecdlngs bolow wore unwarranted nnd tho
writ Improvldently nllowcd. On rehearing
the court reverses the Judgment and re
mands tho cainc for further proceedings
under tho order to show cause why restitu
tion should not bo ndjudged not inconsistent
with ti)o opinion delivered, llorton Is nt
tempting to have the money refunded by
tho defendant, it oemg alleged uy mm tnat
the order of payment was rendored promn
turcly and thot the money should not have
been paid by the treasurer.
AnnoSKintriitK In fluatliiKa.
The court rules In Hatty against tho
City of Hastings, an action arising from
the assessment ot property In Hastings for
the purpose of paving Intersections, that a
cloud upon the tltlo of nn owner of real
property In possession thereof constitutes
a continuing came ot action, not accruing
once tor nil nt the creation ot the cloud,
hut available as a cause nt nil times dur
ing its existence, hence an action to re
move such cloud Is not barred by Inpse
of tlmo of tbe statutory period of limita
tion of equitable action nfter the dnto ot
Its creation. The suit was brought by
thirty-eight property owners to have tha
assessment declared Invalid, to enjoin col
lection nnd to remove clouds upon their
several titles by reason thereof. In
the council of Hastings, pursuant to a
petition purporting to be signed by tho
owners of a majority In front feet ot tho
property abutting upon certain streets, cre
ated a paving district and, nfter n proposl
tlon had been duly submitted and voted
upon and bonds Issued, proceeded, in No
vember, 1894, to assess the cost ot paving
the district against tho property abutting
on the streets therein. Judgment of tho
district court was affirmed.

THE MODERN STORE.
It Has One Department Little
Known To Customers.
The (rreat department lore f ,ir 'me
lias one deportment usually unvlalted ly
customers, and yet very essential to the
good of the store. It ts the hospital de
partment. The hospital is a feature of
the equlpmentof the great modern depart
ment stores, becaufc experience ha
proved its advantages. It is not more a
mark of humanitarian progress than of
commercial sagacity. It is not there for
the benefit of customers, though its use
would not be denied them. It is there for
the benefit of the clerks, n majority of
whom arc women, and these women ore
those who almost exclusively use the
hospital. It is not an uncommon thing
for the young woman employee of the
tore to sink down exhaustedor to drop
falntlnr to the floor. Tier shop-mates
promptly care for her, and she is assisted
to the store hospital where she may rest
and hare the needed restoratives.
WOMRN THR SOVFKRERS.
While the existence of the store hos
pital points to the sympathy of the man
agement with its employees, it also em
phasizes the weakness of the women for
whom the hospital is established. Women
who work must be prompt and regular
in their duties or they arc not wanted.
The back may ache, every step may jar
along the spine until the bead throbs
pitifully. The reaching up for a box of
gloves or the stooping to pick something
from the floor may cause acute pnin, but
the woman behind the counter must hold
on until she drops, nnd she generally
does. Then comes the hospital, n brief
rest, and some pallativc for her present
pain. Next month she may repeat the
same experience; for it is noted thnt this
liability to physical collapse among
women is much greater at certain pe
riods. The hospital is good in its. place.
But what these women need is health,
sound health. And sound health for
thetr means the cure of those womnnly
diseases which are the primary cause o'f
the physical weakness stich women feel.
There is a cure for womanly diseases
which' has the testimony of tens of thou
sands of women to its perfect and per
manent nature. It is Dr. Pierce's' Favor
ite Prescription, the medicine which
makes weak women strong nnd sick
women well.
"A heart overflowing witli gratitude
as well as a sense of duty urges me to
write to you and tell you of my wonder
fnll recovery,"says Miss Corinne C. Hook,
of Orangeburg, Orangehurg Co., South
Carolina, (care of J. H. Hook). "By the
use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

you four months ago. I remark to my
jwenU almost everv day that it seems
almost an Impossibility for medicine to
do a person so much cool. During the
whole sumricr I could scarcely keep ut
to walk Atmut the house, and yesterday
I walked four miles nnd felt better from
the exercise. I now weigh us pounds.
I read in vour book of testimonials whete
a lady said Dr. Pierce's medicines were
a ' Thousaud pouuds of comfort,' plesse
let mc add one thousand pounds more to
it. Mine was a case of complicated fe

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can
lay claim to being the best medicine for
women without fear of contradiction. It
it best because it contains no alcohol,
nnd is entirely free from opium, coc.iiuc
nnd all other narcotics, which give only
temporary relief from p.iin. It is the
best medicine for women because its
cures arc radical, going to the toot of
disease and establishing perfect and per
maticnt health. To these claims the
women themselves are the witnesses,
who having tried in vain
other medicines, have
found in "Favorite Pre
scription " a complete ane
lasting cure.
"I feel more than grate
ful to you for the benefit
I hate received from Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription and ' Golden
Medical Discovery,'"1
writes Mrs. Enrie E.
Wood in, of MiUertan,
Dutchess Co., N. Y care
of Box No. t. "For a
number of years I had
been troubled with female
weakness, nervous head
aches, irregularity, rest
lessness at night, and, in
fact, was all run down,
but after taking three
bottles of ' Favonte Pre
scription' and one of
'Golden Medical Discov
ery' feel that I am en
tirely cured, nave no
more nervous headaches,
and rest very good at
night; in fact, feel like a
different person, thanks
to vour kind advice and
wonderful medicine. I earnestly advise
all who suffer from any similar troubles
to write to Dr. Pierce at once. They
will not regret it."
