NSam" Blvthe went down
for us, -and shook hands with
the Panama Canal. He is a
different kind of reporter it
Blythe, and he has given us a
different kind of story.
The first article is "Life in
Spigotty Land." It doesn't
tell much about the Canal
itself, not much about gradi
ents and cubic feet and plumb
lines; it's mostly about the
cheerful social side of the life
down there.
Says he, "Isthmus moon
light would make a man make
love to a cigar sign." He tells
about on of their baseball
games, where a crowd was
"enthusiastic to the degree of
temporary insanity and impar
tially joshing everybody in
sight.' He also heaves a brick
at Uncle Sam's Hotel: "The
United States can go on record
as conducting a hotel where
positively less food for the
price is served than any other
place in the universe."
Social life on the Isthmus is
regulated according to your pay.
If you earn $300 a month
you snub the people who only
get $250, and smile graciously
on those who get $325.
Altogether, Panama and
Panamaniacs are an interested
and interesting lot. The peo
ple who are there mostly want
to stay, and needn't stay unless
they want to. s
But read the whole article.
It is only one good choice out

through work and silence to quiet resig

Mr. Pinero tries various other waya out of
the labyrinth, but this seems ths only
plausible one. And, In this, he reasons as
though he were convinced of hla own con
clusions.
Mra. Campbell's Impersonation of ths role
is, like her others, undertaken In a spirit
of appreciative understanding, and is en-1
acted with great fidelity to ber concep- I

Mr. Webster makes Lucas Cleeve suf

wonder what a woman of Mra. Ebbsmlth's
temperament could see in him to mourn
for. The senile, cynical, worldly-wise duke

Everett E. Buckingham, speaking of a

the sessions with the commissioners at
Lincoln have been merely discussion. No
plan of division has been formally prepared.
go, I think, you must scree that It would
be premature to discuss the plana or the
effect of such a division at present.
According to advlcea from Lincoln, under
the date of March B, the Union Stock Yard
company had proceeded farther than a
discussion and had reached an understand
tng. It was said Frank Ransom, represent'
in the) Union Stock Tards company, bad
been In consultation with the members of
the railroad commission, and at the close
the company had decided to separata the
trafflo branch of the South Omaha yarda
from the other division f the corporation,
TFe proposed new company would report
to the state commission direct, and the
other division would not come under the
designation of a common carrier. The jur
isdiction of the commission would cease
when cattle were unloaded at the chutes.
The part of the property of the company
which would be Included under the new
company would be subject to assessment
by ths state board thereafter and not (by
me Lougias county assessors.
W. Scott King stated last night that the
division might, most probably, not be made.
snd thought there was little to be gained
by a separation. He also advised caution
In predictions In that direction. The man
agement held a conference In the general
manager's office yesterday morning, dis
cussing the proposition, but arrived st no
determination to take such a step.
If It were done." said Mr. King, "it
would simply be an adjustment, and not a
general withdrawal to other offices. Less
discussion, probably, will save us the an
noyance of much explanation and Inquiry.

Water Power for Osaaaa.

We believe hla article contains palpable
errors. Ha "challenges proof." Ws submit
the following:
L His statementa that Buffalo haa
not received benefit from the great develop
ment at Niagara Falls, and that Nebraska
"does not labor under - a disadvantage on
account of high priced steam coal," need no
refutation. It Is a matter of general knowl
edge that Buffalo haa received Incalculable
advantage, and current is now being trans
mitted to Rochester and Toronto and many
other cities. Our own coal bills testify
eloquently as to the present prices of coal

getting electrical current at a very low
price, and thla fact should be extensively
advertised.

cheaper power very much cheaper power.

development, says. ""It could not under the
most favorable circumstances compete with
the local coal plant, and "I feel safe In say
Ing thatno conscientious expert will proclaim
this proposition feasible, practical or com
merclal." If these premises are correct.
there Is no danger to "the local coal
plants." We contend they are incorrect in
their very fundaments. 1
Experts and engineers of the highest
standing have carefully studied the Loup
river proposition. They are unanimous In
their conclusions. They have been sent
here by capital which hasr assisted in de
veloping the largest and' most profltabl
water power developments of the world.
Soma of these experts amf Their conclusions
may be named as follows;' D. L. Hough,

New Tork City; Prof. K."B. Hilgard, civil

one-third less than steam power can be
generated here, tl us eventually displacing
steam plants, becauso- of this great

These experts have all agreed, too, that
current can be Bold from Loup river at

gotittlona have been based upon this tlx
ure. The cheapest price charged the
Omaha elevators now is 1 cents per kilo

We propose to sell power st an average
price which shall be one-half the price of
the cheapest power now sold in Nebrsska.
If I cents, the present price, la attractlv

As a matter of enlightenment of the pub

MIchaelsen to state in the public pres
the price which the city lays per kilowatt

may judge for itself whether or not the

Requisitions for supplies will hereafter

Making Good.
There is no way of making IVurttng
friends like "Making Good; and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decadea of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They hava
'made good and they have not made
druukards.
A good, honest, eqnare-deal medicine of
known composition la Dr. Pierce's Ooldea
Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an Im
mense sale, while most of the prepsra
tiooe that nave come into prominence in
tha earlier period of Its popularity have
gone bv the board and are never more
beard or. There must be some reason fur
this long-time popularity and that Is to
be found In Its superior merits. When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or (or liver and blood affections, lu supe
rior curative qualities are soon manliest;
hence It has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flsshed Into fsvor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.

Wouldn't an oilice vvilh a vault
be a great convenience? '
In many lines of business a vault in connection
v with the office is not only desirable, but really a
necessity, when you stop to think what the loss of
your books and papers would mean to you. If you
keep your valuable papers and books in a vault
there is absolutely no possibility of their being
destroyed by fire.
THE BEE BUILDING
Is ths only building la Omaha where the vaults are built of brick
and rest on a foundation from the ground up. They sre not
merely flimsy affairs, constructed of flre-tlle on the floor.. where
ever they happen to come. While there Is no possibility of a fire
la a fire-proof building spreading, yet the oontenta of your office
ma-e burned up. for example, by a waste paper basket ditching
fir.
There are three offices vrltn vsults thst we ran show you,
renting front eighteen to fifty dollars per month, aud varying In
slse from tie to 70 squsre fest of floor space. If you are Inter
ested, make your selection at once.
