ROCK ISLAND. 111.. March 1. (Special
Tl;ram. M. H. Bexton today forwarded
bis resignation of the jreWlncjr of tha
Western leaa-ue to the direr-tors, the name
to take effect March lo. This carries out
an Intention expressed before the Chicago
meeting; to retire when the league had been
trenajtrfened at Bt. Joseph and Sloirx City.
He hat purchased a half Interest In' a lead
trie; cigar and hess depot In the city and
will devote, hla time to that business. In a
letter to the director he says: "t am
pleased to be altle to report at this time
that the lonanjn affairs generally are In ex
cellent condition, every club on a good
fln.inrlal footing and rapidly signing play
ers. In R. L. Caruthera, John P. Keefe,
Stephen Cusack and C. L. Owens I feel
that the league will have a capable and
efficient staff of umpires. I have prepared
everal drafts of a schedule, one of which
I think will prove satisfactory to all at the
coming schedule meeting, and know of no
detail left, unfinished whtah would tend to
Injure the league's au.'rclous opening. I
therefore herewith tender my resignation
as president of the Western league and
most earnestly request that the same be
accepted to become effective at the ached
Ula meeting In Des Moines, Maroh 10.
"I have made such arrangement relative
to business and private affairs that the
aame will demand my Immediate, undivided
attention and doslre to be relieved from
duty on the daio above mentioned. Permit
me to say In this connection, , I Identified
myself with the league on the 18th day of
April two years ago, Just a week before
the opening of the season, and cannot see
that my resignation at this time will em
barrass the league or its members In the
lightest degree."

SCROFULA
Swollen glands, tumors, white swelling:, sores, pustular
or scaly skin eruptions, flabby muscles, brittle bones, weak
digestion, emaciated, illy-nourished bodies, axe some of the
well-known earmarks of Scrofula. Scrofula is inherited.
Tarents too closely related by the ties of blood, or tainted
with consumption or blood poison, may look for signs of
Scrofula in (heir children. The middle-aged often have it,
but children are the chief su&erers. Scrofula breaks down
the vital forces, and the blood
becomes so weak and poor that
it does not nourish the body.
The remedy in all scrofulous
affections must be one that puri
fies the diseased blood, 'builds
up the weak digestion, increases
the appetite and gives new en
ergy and strength 'to all life's
forces. No medicine has won
so much fame as a blood purifieT
winter

until a clear title .to the property was tune with his pert In upholding the good
obtainable, but no Intimation was given and pure In art and literature and In con
as to the length of time which might demnlng hypocrisy and cant, no matter
elapse before a decision was reported. I
The entlr subject of the canal and Its
construction waa discussed In addition to I
the legal phases of the question. It I
expected that the commission appointed
yesterday will get to work practically 1m- I
mediately. It I said to be certain that
the commission will go to the IstMnus

dlttoh so as to start the preliminary work
of construction. In this connection It was
decided, a heretofore Indicated might be
the case, to countermand the order Issued

HOWELL AND WATER PLANTS
What the Keaator's Optimism Ha
Already Cost tbe Taxpayer
of Omaha.
OMAHA. March l.-To the Editor of Th
Bee: I notice In The Bee that Senator R.
B. Howell took an optimistic view of the
water plant purchase situation before the
Orchard Hill Improvement club last night.
If my memory serves me correctly, Benator
Howeh took an equatly optimistic view of
the situation before the legislature about
a year ago, and up-to-date this Imitation of
Mark Tapley by the senator has merely
resulted In the Increase of the annual bill
for hydrant rental to be paid by the city
to the water company from 190.000 to 1100.
000 and the addition of 1.000 to pay the
expenses of a water board. ThI Is for the
year 190, with a fair prospect of it being
repeated for the coming year, making a
total extra expense to the taxpayers ot
too. 000, with no material return whatever.
Benator Howeli take great pleasure In
comparing the coat Of water service In
Omaha to that in Detroit, but carefully
neglect to say anything about th experi
ence of Kansas City, which might reason
ably be expected to hearer parallel
Omaha' prospect.
Suppose Omaha should acquire the water
plant, without the South Omaha nd Ben
son line, for W.onO.000; at 4 per cent, the
annual Interest charge will be 1130,000 or
130,000 more than the annual hydrant rental
now. The heaviest consumer of water
the packing houses will be cut off under
Senator Howell's plan, and the revenue will
be reduced to that extent The 190,000 now
paid by the city will also be taken out
and these two Items may not unreasonably
be counted a one-third of the total revenue
of the water company. Cut them off and
Increase the annual fixed charge by II
per cent end what prospect la there for re
duction to the private consumer of Omaha,
supposing the city Intend to maintain the
plant at It present efficiency and pro
vide for deterioration and future exten
ilonsT It seem to me that Senator Howell I
more deeply Interested In securing his re
turn to th state senate than in the actual
problem of municipal ownership of water
plants, or he wouldn't be guilty Of peddling
uch attenuated hot air a he dispensed to
the Orchard Hill Improvers.
