Ho said he wanted to assure the head ut this system that he had pushed bin road to no Idle mart , but had tapped a man ufacturing center the value of whoso yearly products Is counted In the tons of mllllonn. He leferred In detail to the viluo of the .sev eral manufactured products , Including the , umultor , the stock yard * , the distilleries , and other lines , and spoke of the Increase in bus- Incsi In all Hues In 1807 as compared with the previous year. In the matter of supplies brought from the south the speaker said the railroad's broufiht Into the stockyards alone fiom thirty to forty carloadB , dally , of lum ber , cottonseed oil and other supplies from that section. The HpiMkor then referred to the crcat ndvaninscs which a railway can confer upon a city K they c.ire to favor It. Ho spoke of tlio fact thnt the packing centers of the lov.-cr Mlusouil river can buy cattle In Omaha's territory and ship them to thulr yards at the same price ns the Omaha packers pay , yet If the Omaha packer goes Into the south or BuiithwcEt ho must pay from $10 to $15 per car moro than the lower points. Ho cited similar circumstances on other products lu which Omaha Is Riven the worst of It. Under thMO conditions , he said , the Industries ol Omaha have been dovi-lope.1 and thus It la that the pcoplo of Omaha , have an added in- ten-st In extending a welcome to the neu southern road. The opcakor then discussed the practice of shipping via ciut and \\est lines and declared Unit thcao lines had dominated the tralllc and charged arbitrary latcs until compelled to troit fairly tlio points having north nnd south connections nnd ho cited Instances where BUi-h points had boon granted concessions be- cauiio of these connections. Ho predicted that Omaha would bo placed In this category by reason of IUJ now connection with the south. Tl-o apccch oS JudKO McHURh was a most luchl statement of the discrimination which has 'been ' 'practiced against Omaha and his points wcro vigorously app'auded , FROM Tlin OnNKitiiL MANAGUIl. Hobent Cillllnm , general manager of the Port Aithur re-uto , WOB assigned to thu topic "Tho Nuw Hallway aa It Alfccls Omaha. " The t-pi-akcr "nas received with applause and launched nt once Into his subject. He caid 'tho ' idea that commerce must follow cast and west lines was rapidly Jlsappear- Ing and commerce was beginning to seek the shortest route. The route to the east ooast , ho said , Is 1,500 miles , while the dis tance -to - salt water at the south Is less than 900 miles. Ho said 'this ' would result Ip lower rates and 'would tend to divert tlu traffic totho - south. Thcad lines , in connec tion with connecting steamship lines , will result in rates to foreign ports , which will operate to the benefit of Omaha and eontrib. ittary territory. The commercial prosperity of the wwt , the speaker declared , depended onthe - close co-operation of the cities In this territoryIf these cities.\\111 unite , ho de clared 'that ' a great central empire may bo hulla up. Ho said the question of trannpor- tation Is a strictly buslnws matter and must la seriously considered , but It nil IntcrciJta work together the result will ibo beneficial to all. Hovertlng to the Port Arthur route , the speaker asserted that 'the ' harbor at Port Arthur will afford ono of the bfJt and. most advantageous ports In the country. Ho said -that a most friendly feeling exlUs all through the south for Omaha and the ex position and a largo number of thcao people will come hero In the near future. In closing , the speaker referred to the Nicaragua canal , saying tt waa an Important matter In which nil the people of the west have a common Interest. MEXICO IN 'COMMErtCE. The nest speaker was D , J. Haff , vice president of the Port Arthur & Mexican Oulf Steamship company , who responded ao the -topic , "Tho Country South of Us. " Ho paid a neat compliment In opening to the energy of the community which has con ceived ana carried almost -to completion an exposition on ouch a grand ecalo aa that now undc ; < way in Omaha. The speaker said lie had not been re stricted as to territory ho was to talk about , hut nresumed ho wns expected to talk about the great country c' Mexico , which lies to the south of the United States. 'Ho ' reviewed thu history of Mexico slnco the country was first placed under Spanish rule down to the present time , and then took up the commcrcs of the country , referring to the great quan tity of material which comes out of Mexico to the United States and the Immense amount of manufactured cooils which .am annually sent there from this country. All this business , ho said , had been enjoyed by the eastern states because of discriminating freight rates , which have excluded the west. -He declatcd that this condition was duo to the fact that the west had not been alive to Its best Interests. Ho said the country west ot the MIs&UsIppl 'produced everything necessary for the wants of man and It should demand Us rights. Tlio west had nt- -talned political freedom , but it had not yet attained ccm-merclal freedom. The speaker then discussed freight rates In detail , quot ing from n tariff sheet of -Northwestern freight association to show the discrimina tion against -transmlsslsslppl region to Mexican points as compared with rates from eastern points. Ho declared that the Port Arthur line and the connecting steam- t.1Ip ] lines would make tt pcsslble for point * west of 4he Mississippi to enjoy the same rates as points cast of thnt river. At this point President Stlllwelt announced that the Port Arthur route would give to the Omaha and Kansas City territory the same rates to ( Mexico that St. Louis has enjoyed so Icue and from which It has piofltcd so largely. This statement by the president was greeted by cheers nnd applause and shouts of "Good ! Good ! " Tomtiu-ister Cowln called on W , V , Morse , fo respond to tbe { cost , "On Jobbing Iinter- rsts , " which had been assigned to C. ! ' . Weller , who wns alsent. Mr. Morse wld Judto ; McHugh had covered the ground to thoroughly that nothing remained to bo said , but ho paid a high tribute to General Man ager Glllham , wbo formerly lived In Onwha and \\us connected with the building of tbo Omaha cable railway. The toastniaetcr tboa called on tbo last speaker , Rev. S. Wright Duller , to respond to the topic , "Tho Crownlcg Glory of 1S9S. " The speaker dlwusse-d bis topic In a humorous strain for scteral moments , excit ing the laughter of all present. Then In the eloquent manner which characterizes the post-prandial efforts of this well known fipE-akor , he Apoke of the prophetic vision ot the delegates to the TrarsmUslsslppI Com mercial congress who provided for on expo sition at Omaha In 1S98 , the yoir when ll seemed that the flood of prosperity was about to sweep over this entire section. He- re ferred In n perfect flood of language to the grandeur and Importance of the exposition and kept his hearers 1-iughlng or applauding nl frequent Interval * . At the ccnclualon of h'a address Dr. Duller was vigorously applauded. Th exercises cloc-ed with a song by Ihc velcra'n Jules Lumbard , who Mng "Amer ica , " the company joining In Ihc chorus. As Iho company dispersed President Still- well repeated his IcvlMtlon to the business men of Omaha to be his guests on a trip to Port Arthur to Investigate themselves the truth of wlint had bcc.u said about the Imporlanco ol thtj route end Ha southern terminus. Ho fixed the time for some time next month and said ho would have more to say about It hereafter. The visitors returned home this morning , WILL IIAVli MDED WATER ( Continued from First Page. ) use the mains In the streets ot Omalu-Cto supply 1,000,000 gallons of water per day to South Omaha and a latge amount to Must Omaha until the citizens of Omaha have all the water they require. iMr. Montgomery advised that a resolution 'bo ' passed declaring that the exposition must have water and that the water company must furnish It , and fol lowing this up by an energetic effort to - compel pel the company to Jo so. Mr. Kountze moved the appointment of a committee of five to Interview the water company officials and learn what they will do and report to an adjourned meeting , so some cncrgijtlc action may bo taken. Ho fa\ors asking the company to make a con nection with the mains and asking the city council to order the necessary hydrants loeatcd on the exposition grounds. If this should not prove successful ho favored ex treme measures. The motion was adopted and the president appointed as the committee Directors Kountze , Klrkcndall , Klmball.Montgomery and Carpenter. The -board then adjourned until 4 p. m. next Tuesday.

( lovorntnoiit IM n I , N < > r Through Din- WASHINGTON , Jan. 7. Auditor Castle of the postofllco department lias discovered Ir regularities In money order accounts which may possibly" " result In a loss to the govern ment of a considerable .euni. They were brought to light as the outcome of n new system of checking accounts by postmasters which went Into effect on the 1st of the year. About three yearn ago the practice of chocking money order accounts In the oHlcs of the auditor was changed , they being aud ited by stubs or coupons , nnd not by the orders themselves as had been done pre viously. If the postmaster's return corres ponded In each Item with this stub , the ac count was assumed to bo correct and was closed. The money order Itself was never checked by the Issuing postmaster's returns , hut was only used ns a voucher for the payIng - Ing postmaster. When 'Auditor ' Caatlo took charge of the ofllco he discovered defects in the system which mndo It possible for dishonest post masters to rob the government , nnd ascer tained there wcro nine possible wnys In which this could bo done. Ho then put Into operation a new system. Ono of the most Important of the changes decided upon was the abolishment of the coupon entirely , nnd the checking of both sides of the postmaster's account by the money order Itself. Several cases have been detected where or ders were Issued for na high ns ? SO nnd $100 , nnd were reported by the Issuing postmaster at $1 or $2 each.

Paino's Cclory Compound Fills the Arteries. r ( Multiplies Number of Vital Rod Corpuscles. There nro degrees of sleeplessness from thn wlJe-iwnko state to the sleep which does not refresh and has In H only the. mockery of rest. rest.Such Such sleep Is not tired nature's sweet re storer. Dreams have power to torture nnd to depress. Sleep , therefore , Is not always rest , but trouble , and a troubled sleep brings to the brain-worker loss of power for thought and labor. H la a well known fact that for any jwrt to perform actively Its duties , it must have an abundance of blood ; 'hut when the power of locally regulating the eupply of blood In the brain Is Impaired because of Insuf- licent ncive power , tlio tired brain grlnda the same- old grist over nnd over till nervous prostration , paralysis or hysteria ensues. The cause of sleeplessness Is oo clear that the cure Is equally nppucnt. The nervoa must recover their . The grip. health-w rockIng - Ing laxity of the blood vessels must bo cor rected. The answer to how this Is to bo done Is : Teed the exhausted nerve tissues with Paino's celery compound. By thus acting on the nerves Paino's col- cry compound Is able to regulate the blood supply and permanently banish sleeplessness that shortoiiE" so many lives , especially among these beyond middle age. In addl- 'tlon ' to this Indirect control over the circula tion , Palno's celery compound < llrectly In creases the amount of blood In the arteries and arouses the nurlfvlnc ? nrn.insi in iirivn out Impurities that often lurk In It unde veloped for years till ago or a "run-down condition allow them to get the upper hand. A pale , languid woman Is not more of a lady ithan a rosy , robust one. Women lending lives of Imperfect health , with paluii and aches running riot through their "run-down" bodies , nro often Ignor ant of the fact that It is not a speclllc for nervousness or rheumatism or stomach tronblo that they need , but fundamental building up of every tissue of their -bodies nnd a thorough cleansing of 'their ' blood. The strengthening of the constitution nnd the eradication of latent disease that Palne'a cleery compound achieves leaves no fear of that treacherous partial recovery that keeps ouo always afraid of relapsa and sudden break-down. Pjilno's celery compound rests on the who modern conclusion of the best medical thought tint the remedy that Invigorates thn entire syrtem and purifies It , If the only safe euro for such localized dlseasco aa rheumatism , neuralgia , sleeplessness , ecze ma , headaches and blood diseases. It Is a common , harmful Idea that health keeps pace with strength. People seem tn think that one can ddtwmlne the health of persens by measuring their arms. Health means absence of pain and the presence or more or less nerve Intensity and ctijoymcnt In the mere fact of living. All this Implies abundantly nourished or gans and blood unhampered by diseased humors. Palne's celery compound Is especially val uable for recruiting the otrcngth and npcnt energies of men and women advanced In years. It Is the one preparation considered worthv the name of n trim nnrt fnmi , , , blooM remedy by physicians throughout the country. It Is prescribed by them In every state in the unlcci to tone up the system 1 icguloto the nerves and restore health nnd Btrenctb. I PAXTO.V & nunansg , Managers. Tel. ujj.
