At the noon hour the Information was

Mr. Bergo declined and the audience left
In a hurry.
Mr. Berge and a committee of fuslonlsta

Mickey Makes DealaX.
Governor Mickey today sent thla letter to
Ik P. Sine, president of the Traveling Men's
Republican club, which expl f ns itself:
I understand that I am charged by certain
parties with having mud) remarks In ex
treme criticism of the character of travel
ing men ns a class and with having lip
pugncd their honor. It Is asserted that at
Home tlmo. somo place, under some peculiar
clrcumntances, I made these derogatory ut
terances, which, as they are now brought
to ine. are too shameful to be repeated.
Without further preface I her emphatic
ally deny any and every charge of the na
ture ahovo specified. I nave never said one
word that by any possible Interpretation
could b construed as a tirade against
traveling men. let alono making attacks
upon their character. Aa a clasa m rela
tions with them have beon pleasant and I
have many times referred In compliments -y
trm to their energy, seal and ability
which they bring to bear In pursuanco of
their profession. '
The allegallona made against me In this
respect are absolutely fals. and It la need
les to sdd thit thev ir being made at thla
time for n-jrely political effect.
Printing Board lias Problem. -
The oi.-.te Printing board will meet Frl
ay to paas or. the matter of printing re
ports for tha various detnrtments of the
state. Tha statutes make no provision for
me priming 01 a report tor tne uonra or
Irrigation, the game warden and other de
partments of like character. Tho statute
does aay that the labor commissioner shtJl
issue a biennial report, hut It falls to
specify tho number or how tha bill Is to bo
paid. For that reason It la expected flat
the meeting Friday will be of much Inter
eat. Tho heads of departments are now
busily engaged In getting their reports In
fchepe for tha printer. Should the printing
board turn down the proposition it will
mean a saving to the atata of between $7,000
and $8,000.

cou.-.ty land was taxed 7. per acre and
Saunders county $4.06, though ' they are
of equal value.

whoae taxea were Increased $750. Fu
slonlsts tiled to blame It to the law. As
a matter of fact the law caused but $44
Increase, while tho school board, city
tuces and county taxea Increased the
balance.
Mr. Burkett refuted the statement that
the railroads profit by the law. He said
their taxes Increased 60 per cent and
they are fighting It. They want it re
pealed and the fuslonlsta are pledged to
repeal It. He appealed for McCarthy'a
re-election because he caa help Roose
velt, while McKilllp, opposing, would be
use'esa. He paid a tribute to the man
agement of Nebraska lnetitution under
Governor Mickey.

Insecurity of Waterworks Embankment Ex
plained, Hearing.
CITY SCORES POINT OR TWO AT FLORENCE
President Underwood Admits Walnut
H1U Reservoir 1 Unsatisfactory
ad Superintendent Reynold.
Bay. Bart Station I. Bad. '
The city carried off the bulk of favorable
testimony in the water woriu appraisement
proceeding at Florence yesterday. The ses
sions were spent In the cross-examination
of Captain Reynolds, superintendent of the
pumping station, and W. A. Underwood,
the latter president of the company.
The questioning of both witnesses had
a tendency to show that the Insecurity of
the high embankment along the river aide
of the settling basins at Florence, upon
which the company laid great stress, waa
due in a measure to the faot that much
ground had been filled and there were
aprlngs under the locations for the basins,
Captain Reynolds declared that the Burt
street intake la made useful only by hav
Ing men constantly dig canals through
sandbars, and Mr. Underwood said the
Walnut Hill reservoir la not satisfactorily
built and need frequent repairing.
City Attorney Wright waa partly suc
cessful In adducing testimony to ahow the
river at Florence is gradually aasuming the
v.....o.ib .....i nave prevailed at the Burt
street, station for aome time. It was
brought out, alao, that Mr. Underwood had
fixed upon a site for the station and basin
to the north of where they were eventually
put In.
Not Favorite seenrltle.
In the course of a lively discussion Mr.
Underwood admitted that water works
stocks and bond are not favorite securities
at present in any part of the United States,
owing to the fact that tha properties are at
tho mercy of the municipalities.
The proceedings will continue at Florence
today. Ia the morning the -water will be
drawn from one of the settling baslss and
the appraisers ahown how the cleaning Is
done. After that Captain Ruger will be
placed on tho atand by the water company.
He Is one of the most important witnesses,
having been one of the chief engineera on
the Florence plant.
Lunch la served dally to the appraising
party In the pumping station.
W. A. Underwood aald he became presi
dent of the old City Water Works company
In the Interests of tho persons who bought
five-eighths of tha stock. The property
wia afterwarda taken over by the Ameri
can Water Work company of Illinois, of
which he waa president and which waa
alsi Interested in the Denver water works.
Th American Water Work company of
New Jersey, incorporated in 1891, later took
over both properties. Hi first examination
of the Omaha water works was In 1881
Ha and associates were told by owners of
old stock that they had considered the
Florence site and wanted to sell out be
cause they could not command tha funds
to make the Improvement which waa neces
sary because of the Inadequacy of the
Burt atreet station. The stock changed
hands in July, 1886. A year after. the pur
chase the American Water Works com
pany waa organised, he becoming presi
dent tn September, 1887. He thought Solon
L. Wiley, secretary and manager, had
made the decision on the Florence site. In
company with Underwood. The river bank
had appeared perfectly safe In a personal
examination he had made.
Why Wiley Resigned.
"Mr. Wiley resigned vln August, 1888, at
the request of the company on account of
the Impractical character of hla work, did
he notr' aaked Attorney Wright
"Not necessarily," replied the witness,
while Attorney Hall Interpoaed an objec
tion. Captain Ruger waa gent for and tlie

work resumed, Underwood remaining on
the scene. The cribs were completed In
the winter of 1888-89. The riprapping was
finished some time in 1889. The loose stone
retailing wall was built in 1890-91 on ac
count of three slides from the basins. The
slides occurred after riprapping was put in.
In response to an inquiry Mr. Underwood
admitted there was no reason -other than
additional length of pipe lines why all tho
basin should not be back up where- tho
highest one are now located and consid
erably further away from the river.
Tho witness did not regard .the Walnut
Hill reservoir as satisfactory In construc
tion, as it had to be frequently repaired.
Under Attorney Hall's questioning Mr.
Underwood testified that he had never
beard of tha areatlon process of purifying
water before It waa developed at Florence,
nor the method used in cleaning basins.
Regarding the saving In cleaning he said
It was Immense, aa from six to nine feet
of mud accumulates in the first basins In
about four weeks in the spring.
He said he thought the mud cleaning de
vice waa invented by Captain Ruger and a
very ingenious mechanic named Sanders.
He explained how the superintendent of
the various departments met for consulta
if f'ii fr ;,yr
H i
o':.
tion 4 frequently and worked out various
features,
"Was the overflow purifying business
worked out that way, too?" asked Attorney
Wright.
"It was," responded the witness.
"Isn't It a fact that It has been hard
work to dispose of stocks and bonds of
waterworks companies as Investments dur
ing the last fifteen years?" asked Mr.
Wright
More About Stock and Bonds.
","'Yes," responded the witness, "It is, bo
cause no one has any confidence in bonds
or stocks that are dependent upon mu
nicipal honesty and good will."
"I it not true," persisted the attorney,
"that a large part of your work for water
works companies haa been in the Intereat
of promoter and in foreclosure proceed
ings on the stocks and bonds?"
"Part of It has," the witness admitted.
"And Is It not true that it 1 the custom
to capitalise some companies away beyond
their value so the promoters may get big
proflta7"
"Some havo been, not in Omaha. There
is no water in . the capital stock or bonds
of thla company."
In questioning Captain Reynolda regard

ing changea in the river at Florence Wright

will be that the dike works on the Iowa

ward, haa caused a change In tha chan
