SPECIAL NOTICE: SCHOLL UELLER PIANO CO. 1311-1313 FARNAM STREET, OMAHA MANUFACTURERS. WHOLESALERS, RETAILERS. ESTABLISHED 1859. CONSUMERS PAY FOR METERS Flat System of Water Rates Will Be Abandoned by. Board. MAY REDUCE COST OF WATER SLeters Will Be Installed at Plant to Record Volume of Waste and Reduce the Loss as Much as Possible. With the abandonment' of the flat rate system of charges for water when the city , takes over the plant on July 1, meters will be Installed at the expense of consumers, who will pay only for the amount of water used. The meters will be purchased by the Water board at wholesale, and the consumers . will be required to bear the expense of installa tion. "We have figured on charging cus tomers 50 cents per foot of pipe for in stallation," said P. C. Heafey. "In other cities we find the charge running from 66 to 85 cents'. Consumers may pay for the extensions and for installation of meters in three or five payments." Meters will cost $15 to $25 each, al though the water board expects to be able to furnish them at much less ex pense, because they will be purchased in large wholesale lots if necessary. Mr. Heafey said there would be no increase in the cost of water to the con sumer, and that was about all that was agreed upon. In fact he believes the cost of water will be gradually reduced. The water board's plans are still vague, but they are satisfied . that the service de mands installation of meters and the blatter will be taken up at next meeting.

WOODMEN TO PAY THE EXCESS Effort Will Be Made to find Some ' Way to Collect Back Personal Taxes Without Collecting the Penalty. By resolution, passed with a vote of four to three, the city council yester day directed the engineer to advertise for bids for the construction of a sewer in the alley south of the Woodmen of the World building, to cost not more than $8,000. If It costs more than $8,000 the Woodmen of the World officials will, according to a contract to be entered into, pay the additional cost. The vote on the resolution stood: Ayes Butler, Kugel, Dahlman, Ryder; nays McGov ern, Withnell, Hummel. . Mr. McGovern said he thought the city should pay $4,000 of the cost and the Woodmen of the World the rest. The other side maintained the city ought to construct the sewer because it would do service for another building as large as the Woodmen of the World, which will be built within the next two years. A third building that will also utilize the sewer is planned. It will take thirty days to construct ' the sewer. Advertisement will run for ten days. Contractors on the building were today ordered to re sume work, plumbing operations having been suspended until the sewer construc tion: was decided. There is now available in the sewer bond fund, out of which this sewer will be built, a bout $22,000. Warrants are out standing or work has been authorized that will reduce this to $9,000. A debt of $300, owed the city by .the Woodmen of the World for repairs to a sewer will be paid immediately, representatives stated. A resolution was passed-by the coun cil directing the commissioner of finances and accounts to confer with City Treas urer Ure to plan some way of collecting personal taxes now delinquent without collecting interest. The resolution stated that in many cases it was not the citi zens' fault that taxes had remained un paid, and that because of this the city ought to proceed more on the supposition that "the literal construction and en forcement of the law is less desirable than fair dealing with the citizens." H, S, Afro-American Alumni Reunion First annual reunion or the Afro-American Alumni association of the Omaha High school was held at the Alamo Fri day night, about forty persons being present. After the program, refreshments were enjoyed. The program included ad dresses by Mrs. Lillian Dickinson-Block, Mrs. Grace Morris-Hutton and Clarence W.

ABLE TO GET WHAT HE WANTS Charitable Institutions Are Not Able to Keep Him Confined, as He Always Manages to Make His Eseape. PATENTED TEETH Merit always wins and so does Dr. Todd's Sanitary Porceln Teeth. No competition in Douglas County. DR. TODD, Gffise 433 Brandeh OLD PmpLE' wniVF FUND INCREASED BY MRS. NASH Mrs. Catherine B. Nash has made a donation of $500 to be applied to the Old People's home fund. In a communication to Mrs. George Tilden, president, she re grets that she could not give more be cause she had so many calls for charity of late. She says that she is sure that as far as the Old People's home is con cerned Mrs. Tilden will not have any difficulty in raising the necessary amount, since the institution belongs to all denominations. With the Nash dona tion the building fund is now raised to U7.000. David Miller, a crippled newsboy on crutches, who has been the bane of ju venile court officials and the object of much charity and pity, will go back to his home in Tulsa, Okl. This the court decided when the little fellow hobbled before the judge and told him that while he liked Omaha and the streets had been kind enough to him, his heart yearned for Oklahoma. The lad is ten years old. He was operated on by Dr. C. C. Allison. He will eventually outgrow his lameness. Davey was badgered and bullied by court officials and reporters in a futile attempt to break down a story he had told. He had been placed in the Child Savings institute and on the second day he disappeared. Officers found him after a' two days' search. He had money, new clothes and two books of street car tickets. He said tie had bought these street car tickets from a "fat Dago boy" for 25 cents eachy They were $1 books. Officials be lieved they had been stolen either by Davey or some other boy. It even looked like there might be a capable organi zation swiping tickets and selling them. "No, I didn't steal them," declared Davey. as he fingered a button bearing the picture of a Cub player. "My brother used to' steal, but he has more sense now. He is the worst one in the family. "I met a boy at Fifteenth and Farnam. He asked me how I got crippled. Then we talked about getting around and I had seen a man on a street car give the conductor some tickets. I asked the boy to buy me some tickets. "At first I thought he would take my fifty cents and not come back. So I held his hat while he was gone. He came back and gave me two books. I thought they were half tickets." Davey stoutly declared that he didn't know the boy and had never seen him before. He told his story several times and never varied from It. The court doubted the truth of the story, but could secure no further information. Davey was sent here a few months ago, by the people of Tulsa," who raised a purse. After the operation he was sent to the Child Saving institute. He ran away twice. Each time he was found he was well supplied with money. A reporter found the lad upon his ar rival here. He was wandering about the depot, a forlorn little figure. ' The reporter took him to his room at the Young Men's Christian association and put him to bed. Orkin Bros, Start.

West Bur lington, Iowa, writes: "I had ca tarrh of the stomach and small lntes tines for a number of years. I went to a number of doctors and got no relief, and finuny one of my doctors sent me to Chi cago, and I n.et the same fate. They said they could do noth ing for me; said I had Mr. A. M. Ikerd.. cancer of the stomach and there was no cure. I al most thought the same, for my breath was7 offensive and I could not eat any thing without great misery, and I grad ually grew worse. Finally I concluded to try Peruna, and I found relief and a cure for that dreadful disease, catarrh. I took five bottles of Peruna and two of Manalih, and I now feel like a new man. There Is nothing better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle of It in my house all . the time'." 0 53 Nest Wednes day you can bay Ladies' Salts, Coats and swell Dresses, worth to $35.00. at $6.95 Continuation of the great Salvage Fire Sale Next Vednes day you can buy Ladies' Suits, Coats and swell Dresses, worth to $35.00, at $6.95 On Skirts, Petticoats, also sale Men's Clothing, Shoes and Furnishings, Monday and the rest of week.
