I Two meetings bf importance to both
1 the power canal project and the city of
! Columbus were held during the list
weea. job uret meet in if, wuiou wok ui
the Commercial olub, was held at ibe
council chamber Saturday evening. Tbe
South Omaba project, which is em
bodied in an ordinance that is up
before the council of that city was
explained. It seem9 that this ordinance
cannot be passed under the present
charter and they are seeking to have it
amended. While no official action was
taken, the club and citizens declared
tbemselvea in favor of doing what they
could to further the project. The sec
ond meeting, held Monday evening, was
a meeting or stockholders or cne oanai
company, and was held for tbe purpose
of bringing the South Omaha matter
before tbe stockholders. There had
been some difference of opinion regard
ing the management of tbe company,
but this seems to have'been settled sat
isfactorily. While the power canal pro
ject is not making as much progress as de
sired, the number who have faith in the
final outcome is growing every day.

out Naturally the first news of Mr.
Hord's condition created considerable
alarm, not only in Central City but
throughout the state and telegrams and

very feelingly of his association with
