'The city will be In a portion wh,"n the
Appraisers meet to push its side of the
waterworks appraisement strslght through
fo the finish)" says City Attorney Wright.
While we may need Ave or six flays to
verify certain showings made by the
witer company, t tblnk such Investigations
w 11 not intwrupt or delay the appralse
n frit once It la fairly started. I am hope
ful the water company will hava Its
eh-rtules and Inventories completed by
September 1. when the appraisers are anx
..us to meet and take testimony.
"I would feel far better satisfied If the
appraisement was finished before the legis
lature convenes next January. If It Is
not there will be room for the enactment
of lawn that might cause no end of com
plications. At present I think the city
ha "much the better of the contention
that It la required to buy only that part
rif the plant lying In Omaha and the
Florence pumping station and pipes lead
Ing thereto.
"The creation of ' a wafer district to
embrace Omaha. South Omaha, East
Omaha. Dundee and Florence would put
a different phase on the situation.
"It Is out of question to hope that the
appraisement will be finished Irk time for
the submission of a bond Issue to the
people at the November election. The
probabilities are that' this must be placed
before the voters at a special election or
a regular election at a later date.
LooUlna Oat for Their Jobs.
'The truth of the matter Is that the bond
and stockholders of the Omaha Water
company are anxious to have the purchase
Iy the city over' and done with, while the
hoard of directors, headed by President
"Woodbury, and. the Omaha officers are in
terested In delaying the sale ss much as
possible, because It means the relinquish
ment by them of good paying positions.
"The real owners of the plant have been
urging immediate appraisement, and I
think the matter has reached a point where
the officers of the company have to move
with something like celerity. The delays
that have been stretched over a year and
a half are nothing more or less than
ridiculous and have disgusted almost every
body connected with the appraisement ex
cept the officers of the company. Engineers
know that the keen zeal displayed by the
officers In hunting up details Is unneces
sary and will cut no figure to the appraisement
"In one particular, however, the city has
gained a good many thousands of dollars
the delay, and that Is In the decrease
the price of Iron pipes. Since the
nlclpal ownership law was passed the
I of Iron has dropped steadily, until It
i.i now very low. It Is abotH ns low as
enn be expected, and a valuation at this
time would benefit the city In this re-go.r0.."

Kid McCoy, the pugilist, went through
Omaha -yesterday 'on--the Overland lim

cific to Salt Lake City, where he says he
will try to get a match. McCoy was ac
companied by his wife and they came di
rect from New York. He really says ha is
In earne.it In wanting a match with Mun
roe after the JrlTrles fight, whether Mun
roe wins or loses.
"I desire to get on two fights In Salt
Lake City and after that It Is my Intention
to go to UuttS and from there to San Fran
cisco and Lol Angeles. It Is In the latter
city that I intend spending the winter.
I am unable to make a match in Salt
Lake City I will probably remain there
I about two months to train, as I need to put
In about that much time. I will never fight
at over 158 pounds again. I understand the
game Is somewhat dead In Salt Lake City,
but they want me to go out there and see
If a couple of good fights cannot be ar
ranged for. I am In hopes they can. I am
feeling In' the best of health and spirits
and all I need Hs a little training to make
me fit to fight again."

JOBBERS ON FIRM GROUND
Omaha Wholesale Trade Good sal
Dealers Are Knjoylaa; Rest (
Credit la East.
Omaha's Jobbing trade Is Just as good
as could be expected at this season of the
year. A few buyers have been in the city.
brf the rush of house trade will begin
next Week, when the merchants meetings
begin. With Monday next the round trip
fares for merchants coming to Omaha will
be one and one-fourth the regular rates.
This Inducement will be held out all of
the month of August. In the meantime
Omaha Jobbers will call on many of their
customers on the line of the Northwestern
railway and urge them to take advantage
of the cheap fares to vlrtt this mart.
Ths fight that Omaha Is putting up for
trade Is of the most approved, aggressive
kind and being backed up by prices that
Stagger competing points, usually succeed
In landing the orders.
The president of one of the largest banks
In the city, commenting on the solidity of
local Jobbing Interests, saldi
' "A few years ago there were very few
concerns here strong enough to establish
credit lines In New York, and we were
then obliged to make greater loans for the
prosecution of traVle. Today every Jobbing
house stands as well In New York as In
Omaha and Is prepared to avail Itself of
the low rates for money on Wall street
and with bankers of the metropolis gen
erally. We have frequent opportunities to
buy Omaha Jobbers' paper through the
oommerclal paper houses of New York and
Chicago. I can see great prosperity for
Nebraska and Its chief city through agri
cultural prosperity, but if the high, prices
for grains continue and we get the great
crops a year or two more there will be
little use for the country banker, for every
farmer will be a banker and the bankers
are likely to be farmers."
PLENTY OF CATTLE ON RANGE
Stockman gays Only Troable Is lio
Market Becaase of Packing;
House Strike.
Tom W. Comer, a leading stockman of
the Pine Ridge country. Is In Omaha, hav
ing Just marketed a bunch of cattle at
South Omaha.
"There are several in our party," said
Mr. Comer, "and we brought down alto
gether seventeen loads of cattle. One of
our people had a nice bunch of steecs that
were in the pink of condition and brought
14.30, which, considering the circumstances
of a dull market and the strike. Is a pretty
good price. There are lots of cattle In
the country ready for shipment, but the
people up there hate to risk It while the
strike Is on. It Is a little early for the
regular cattle shipments from the Pine
Ridge country, but many want to ship
now for financial reasons. They cannot,
however, take the risk, espclally In large
shipments. It does not make much differ
ence for small bunches of cattle, as they
can be sold readily. It Is the big ship
ments where the trouble comes In. The
ranges were never In finer condition. We
are cutting hay up there this season where
hay has not been good enough to cut for
ten years. The country Is full of cattle
and all we want In the market to make
things hum up there on the Ridge. Wish
you fellows down here would get the strike
topped by September or October, when our
regular shipments begin."

; -THE3 PACKING OF BUTTER. ,
A New and Better Method of Keeping;
Batter Pare and Sweet.
Of all the ways and means devised for
the packing of butter,- none equals the
package method, used by the Beatrice
I Creamery company.
i ney use an airugac, ouor-proor, moisture-proof
package, which is lined within
and sealed without. By this method but
ter Is packed better than It has ever been
done before, and, of course, a large In
crease In business Is the result.
All housekeepers well know how soon
butter loses Its delicate flavor, how quickly
lit becomes taintedespecially In the small
uuiiii'suo reiriBeraior, wnere it is in close
contact with other eatables Tl Bt's the
reason ordinary butter Is worse sometimes
than others. Butter put up In this air
tight, odor-proof package does not come
In contact with anything harmful, and Its
delicious flavor and appetizing freshness
is always maintained.
The Beatrice Creamery company sell the
Justly famous Meadow Gold Butter made
In the world's greatest and cleanest cream
ery, of the purest and sweetest cream, thor
oughly pasteurized. Throughout the whole
process of making, only the most approved
and scientific methods are employed, every
precaution being taken to maintain, with-
j out variation, the absolute purity, and
delicacy of flavor so peculiar to it.

Announcements of the Theaters,
"I'ncle Tom's Cabin" Is certainly a pop
ular play. The Interest, shown in Its pre
sentation by the Ferris Stock company at

as to bring out its great lesson most forc
ibly. It will be given again tonight, and
at a matinee and evening performance to
morrow. The matineo will be an excellent
time for the children and ladles to see the
play that had such' a marked effect on
the history of the, couatry. The manage
ment having decided fo continue the en
gagement of the Ferris company another
week, "Ten Nights In a Bar Room" wilt
be put on Sunday night.

RAILROADS IS A DILEMMA
Get Themselves In Quandary ly liaising
Rates Against Omaha Only.
FIGURE ON THAT COUNCIL BLUFFS AFFAIR
Oae Railroad Ocllelal Maa Tesaerlty
to Bay It Evens l tor the
Removal of the Bridge
Arbitrary.
- Apparently the railroads. which advanced
the coal rates from Iowa, Missouri ana
Kansas points to Omaha have got them
selves Into a dilemma which Is giving them
a great deal of troable and annoyance
since It has been ascertained the rate
were not advanced to Council Bluffs at the
same time the Omaha raise was mads ef
fective. Coal rates from mines In Iowa to points
in the same state are governed entirely by
the Iowa distance tariff which was mado
up by the State Railroad commission and
which cannot ,be changed without the per
mission of that body. Before the advance
In rates to Omaha the Council Bluffs rates
were the same as those to this city, but
since the Omaha raise Council Bluffs Is
loft with a much lower tariff. For Instance
the rate from -Cleveland, la., on the Bur
lington. Is 8 cents on slack to Council
Bluffs, while It ts 11.15 to Omaha. From
this polntand some others It would pay
coal dealers In this city to bill their coal
to the Bluffs and reblll It to Omaha, paying
looal switching charges If such a thing
would be allowed by the railroads.
"Since the Omaha raise In rates became
effective the railroads have been trying to
devise ways and means o ralBe the rates
to the Bluffs, but they can figure out no
plan whereby the distance tariff governing
can be avoided." said an Omaha business
man. "If a raise Is made from Missouri
and Kansas points while the Iowa rates
are allowed to remain as they are It would
be a gross discrimination against the mines
of the former two states. ' The rates from
Missouri to the Bluffs Is 11.01, as against
$1.15 to Omaha, and $1.16 from Kansas,
against $1.30 to Omaha. These rates can be
changed and the Burlington has signified
its willingness to raise them to correspond
with the Omaha figures. If this Is done,
however. It would place the Burlington In
a very enviable position, as the rates from
Missouri and Kansas would be so much
higher into the Bluffs than the Iowa rates
that It would result in the Burlington hand
ling the bulk of the coal Into that city
from the mines along its line In IowVu"
In speaking of the matter a railroad offi
cial said: ,
"It looks to me like the only thing to do
is to put the Omaha rates back on the old
basis. We cannot raise the Council Bluffs
rates, and it seems unfair that a city Just
across the river should enjoy a rate In some
coses i7Vi cents lower than Omaha has. It
certainly will have a tendency to yause the
removal of factories and the plants of other
kinds of concerns using large quantities of
fuel to the Iowa side of the river. ' Councli
Bluffs certainly has evened up with Omaha
on the Iowa bridge arbitrary fight In case
the new rates made into this city are al
lowed to stand."
This reference to the evening up on the
bridge arbitrary causes much severe criti
cism among Jobbers who were discrimi
nated against by It while It gave undue
advantages to the Iowa, merchants.

HEEDS ZIMMAN ORDINANCE
Wrljrht Gives Ear to Repair of
Streets Torn by Street Rail
way Company,
Blnce he returned from his vacation. City
Attorney Wright has taken up the matter
of the street railway concerning Its at
titude towards the repair and replacement
of paving along Its tracks. In the cases of
four intersections the company made a
proposition to Assistant City Engineer
Craig to bear one-fourth of the expenses,
but whether this related to thfr relaying
of pavement between and adjoining tho
tracks, or the entire street Intersection, Is
not clearly understood.
General Manager Smith of the corporation
Is out of the city and until he returns
nothing will be done.
Aside from Capitol avenue and tha four
Intersections the street railway people
failed to replace paving along the tracks
In a number of Instances ordered by the
council. The work has been done by the
city contractor, and, according to tha engi
neering department will be charged up to
the traction company. The collection of
the money is another matter.

Nellie Thompson, with no fixed place of
residence, arrested a few days sgo on
complaint of her washerwoman, Dora Buf
fln, colored, who accused her of stealing
some women's wearing apparel, was given
a hearing In police court yesterday and
was fined $10 and costs.
According to the Buffln woman's testi
mony, Nellie Thompson stole the articles
while they were being washed at her place.
"Oh, Dora," said Miss Thompson, "how
can you tell such things to the Judge?
Judge,' she pleaded, "thnt woman comes
to my house and asks that she be allowed
to do her washing there. I says, 'Yes.
Dora, you. ran.' but she was so plumb full
of coke that she Just mixed up my clothes
with somebody's else an' took the wrong
ones away and left the wrong ones at my
place."
Detective Dunn swore he found the
clothes at Nellie Thompson's place, but
with a blush, said he could not swear
whether the clothes had been worn by the
woman. At this Juncture the Thompson
woman offered to bring witnesses who
would be willing to testify that she had
not worn the clothes.
"Well," said Judge Berka, "bring the
witnesses tomorrow and we will continue
the case."
"No, slr" said Miss Thompson, firmly, "I
want the case settled right here. Right
here and now."
Judge Berka accommodated her.
