WOODBURY'S ' OFFER OF WATER
General Disposition to Accept the Presi
dent's List Proposition ,
OPINIONS OF PARTIES AT INTEREST
CHr omclnln , KxpoNllInn Director *
ninl I'lnJntlfTft In Injunction Siiltn
( All 1'rofmM to He IMcnnoil
nt the Solution.
The settlement of the exposition water con
troversy suggested by Prcaldcnt Woodbury of
the water company In his communication to
the exposition officials Is very favorably re
garded by city officials. At least Councilman
Stuhl nays It In all right , and , as ho has
corro to > be regarded as expert authority on
water works questions , no one Is Inclined to
dispute lilfl position. Stttht says that as far
ns he has bad an opportunity to consider tfic
propcnltlon It Stems to bo very reasonable.
Ho says that all that ho sticks for Is to
prevent any action that Involve.i waiving Mio
rlrht of the city to purchase the plant and
that aside from that he Is willing to com
promise on a reasonable basis.
Chairman Burn esttr of tbo committee on
fire , water and police said that ho had not
read the letter , but If Ita contents dad bom
correctly stated to him ho.i \ Inclined to think
the water company has mode a very fair
proposition.
Councilman Dcchol lakes ft similar view ,
hut suggcctfl that of course It wilt be Impos
sible far the council to take any official
notlco of the matter until the Injunction thai
Is tow In force Is dissolved. Ho thinks that
the proposed arrangement Is very equitable ,
ns what the water company will receive from
the oxposlte ! > n association will not aggre
gate enough to pay for the cost of the plant
on ttic exposition grounds , to say nothing of
the extra pumplnfc racllltlcfl that will be
required.
Mayor Moorcs did not express a decided
opinion , an ho had not had an opportunity to
fully consider the proposition , but he said
that at first glance It seemed to promise a
very fair adjustment of the dldlculty.
An far as the city Is concerned the demand
of the water company Involves nothing be
yond what has already been conceded. The
city now owes the water company $43,373.60
for hydrant rentals during the Inst six
months of 1SG ! ) , and $87,040 for the same
service during 1807. The 189C bills have al
ready been approved , the warrants drawn
anil thu amount charged against the water
rent fund , licforo the warrants were deliv
ered to the water company an Injunction
was granted and the warrants still remain In
the hands of the comptroller. The 1S97 bills
have never boon approved on account of the
injunction , but there Is no disposition to
question them , and the prospective Issue of
refunding bonds Is designed to cover this
item. An the only thing that prevents these
hills from being paid anyway Is the Injunc
tion , the members of the council take the
position that the water company Is only
asking from the city what Is conceded to be
long to It. There are a number of small
( bills pending for water furnished to the
city hall and Jail , which arc not taken Into
consideration , and nro the only bills on ac
count of which there Is now nny controversy
between the city and the water company.
EXPOSITION DIRECTORS PLEASED.
Herman Kountzo , one of the Hoard of
Directors of the exposition , who has opposed
all attempts to make the extension of the ;
watco company B franchise a rart or tno ucai
whereby the exposition was to secure water ,
had this to fxiy regarding the proposition :
"I nm Inclined to favor the proposition sub-
etantlally an Mr. Woodbury presents It. I
am opposed to legal proceedings whenever
they cun bo avoided. I also believe that all
sulto now pending to restrain tCic payment
of indebtedness which the city owes the
water company should bo dismissed. The
rate which the water company proposes to
charge the exposition I believe to be a rea
sonable one , being one-half the legal rate ,
and the rate which I believe Is charged the
largo Interests In South Omaba. The ques
tion of extending the company's franchise
does not enter itito this matter and should
have no bearing on It. "
W. S. Poppleton , plaintiff In the suit
against the city officials to restrain them
from granting the water company any ex
tension of Its franchise , said : "I am pleased
to sec that the question of extension Is
waived In this proposition. I have been
principally Interested In that and It seems tome
mo that the citizens have won a victory. I
am also pleased to see that the water com
pany .agrees to purchase the pipes now laid
on the exposition grounds If the city orders
Riicli mains laid , and also that the company
agrees to furnish water at 5 cents per thous
and gabions , which Is less than the legal rate ,
nnd also agrees to furnish water free until
Blay 1. I do not care to say anything
further at this time. "
INTDIIEST OF THE LITIGANTS.
John L. Wdister , an exposition director
and the attorney for J , E. Damn , the sur
viving plaintiff In the suit brought by Dan
Farrell and J. 53. Baum against the city to
restrain the payment of hydrant rental to
the water company , replied as follows to a
question regarding his vlows of the situation :
"I am disposed to favor the acceptance of
the proposition of Ti\r. Wocdbury as to the
terms and conditions on which water shall
bo furnished to the exposition. Mr. Baum
must speak for himself as to the dismissal
of the Injunction suit , but I believe ho feels
as I do , that an Immediate settlement of this
water question Is desirable , and that con
cessions on the part of the water company
should meet with reciprocal treatment on
our part. "
J. E. Baum , the plaintiff In the suit
against the city heretofore referred to , was
Inclined to be reticent about what he would
do In the matter of dismissing the Injunc
tion suit , saying ho firet wanted to consult
with the others Interested In the milt , as
ho eald ho had commenced the suit In the
interest of the Commercial club. Ho also
said that ho believed the water company
had uted the exposition as a club to force
concessions from the city nnd had failed In
Its efforts. He declined to pay whether ho
would or would not dismiss liln suit.
COST TO THE COMPANY.
Manager Dlcrbower of the water company
aatd the proposition submitted by Presi
dent Woodbury meant the expenditure of at
least $250,000 by the company In enlarging
its pipes.
the water company In Increasing Us capac
ity In order to mipply the demands upon It.
"Tho details of the changes which will be
ncceceary have not been fully decided on , "
said Mr , Blerbower , "but enough has been
decided to settle the approximate amount
which wo will have to expend. We will ro-
qulro an additional engine at the Florence

President Wattles of the exprsltlon ex-
prp , se < l great satisfaction at the outcome of
the effort * which have been made to secure
a favorable proposition from the management
of the water company. Ho and Manager
Klrkcndall of the Department of Hulldlngs

entire executive committee of the exposition ,
President Wattles and President Woodbury
wore In session at exposition headquarters
last night until a late hour , a conclusion be *
Ing reached nnd the reply of President Wood-
burg being formulated at that meeting. Mr.
Wattles said ho believed that the proposi

sidered , and the rate offered the exposition
for water Is a very reasonable rate , being
the name rate at which water Is supplied to
the South Omaha packing houses and other
large consumers.
The members of the executive committee
also expressed themselves as satisfied with
the outcome of the efforts which have been
made to secure water and fire protection for
the exposition.

PART OF. THE COLORED RACE.
The St. Joseph Herald , In Its account of
the meeting , says n prominent part was taken
In the afternoon proceedings by the colored
members of the commission :
J. Milton Turner of St. Louis , one of the
best known negroes In the state , delivered
nn eloquent nildress when called upon by
Chnlrninn Sampson. In the course of his
remarks he touched upon the great advance
ment nmde by his nice In the creat state
of Missouri. This , he said , was clue to .the
generosity and the good will of the white
people of the state.
" 1 can truthfully nlllrm , " ho said , "that
the great state of Missouri Is far beyond
nil former slave states In the liberality of
Its appropriations and In Its munificent laws
enacted for the advancement of our race.
You are glvliiR us n new emancipation
the liberty of conscience and the emancipa
tion of the human mind. "
Tno remarks of Mr. Turner elicited great
applause. Ho waa followed J. II. Pclhnm
of Hannibal , another prominent negro , who
made a few terse remarks which werc-well
received. He called upon Prof. J. W. Darnel
of Jefferson City , as being better qualified
to address tne assemblage upon the mat
ter In hand. Prof. Darnel stated that It was
planned to gather everything produced by
the negroes In the state nnd make a cred
itable exhibit at the exposition. lie said
that the commission had enlisted the sup
port of the 52,00 } negro school children of
the state and also the churches. They hope
to realize $1OCO In this manner.
Circulars arc being sent out by the com
mission to all those Interested In negro
representation at the exposition. Following
is a. copy of one which Is being sent out
at present. It explains clearly what the
negroes are trying to accomplish ;
"Dear Sir : In the recent expositions nt
Atlanta and Nashville , by the variety , extent
and excellency of their exhibits , our people
did much to remove prejudice and com
mand the respect of the people ot the United
States and the world. In the Omaha ex
position wo will have an opportunity to
show what we have accomplished In the
great state of Missouri. We cannot afford
to neglect to Improve this opportunity.
"Wo hope to bo able to place on exhibi
tion at Omaha everything that our people
have produced that Is worth showing. In
order to do this wo must have the co
operation of all active citizens of the state.
"If. on the 15th day of March , 1S9S , the
required amount , as prescribed In circular
No. 1 , has not been raised , we recommend
[ hat entertainments be given to make up
the deficit.
"All returns must bo made to the treas
urer on or before April 1 , 1S9S.
"Full credit will be clven In the local nnd
metropolitan papers , to nil preachers and
principals sending money to aid In this en
terprise.

CRITICISES FRANCE FOR ITS INTOLERANCE

Curae of Antl-
Sciiiltlmu.
At Tcmplo Israel last night Dr. Leo M
Franklin presented "Some Thoughts Sug
gestcd by the Dreyfus Incident. " The doc
tor felt that the man had been stripped o
his honors and publicly disgraced largely
because of hie Jewish birth , nnd ho expressed
pressed strong censuni for the course whlcl
the French government had taken In trying
Dreyfus before a secret tribunal and ecu
demnlng him to such an unusual fate on
unknown evidence.
In speaking of the universal Interest taken
In the affair , Dr. Franklin ealil that beyoni
a Ooubt It was a unique Incident In history
that the doom of ona man should hav
aroused In all corners of the world such
opposite feelings of sympathy nnd hatrcc
as has been the case with the Frenchmai
who has been caged Itko a wild beast It
such a plague spot of the earth as the
Devil's Isle. "It Is an unparalleled nnd un
recorded case , however , " said Dr , Franklin
"In which a nation like Franco would sc
Itself up for the scorn of the civilized worli
to accomplish the ruin of ono man. In an
alyzing the reasons for Its action the per
sonallty of the condemned man Is to bo con
sldered , whoso cruel separation from his
loved ones and country and doom to a llv
Ing death appeal to us BO strongly. It Is
not our purpose to speak of the history o
the case which has been so thoroughly lali
before the public by the newspapers , bu
to turn rather to a consideration of the mo
lives behind It , to the unanswered question
How could such nn unusual doom have been
pronounced In republican Franco with the
attending circumstances of unknown testi
mony Drought before a rccret tribunal ?
"There are these who mid the posslblllt }
of such an occurretico In the power of tin.
soldiery , for It Is true that there Is no
czar or knlser more absolute than the
French mllltln. In face of that force the
president of Franco Is but a figurehead am :
the lawmakers no more than puppets. Drey
fus was arrested by the soldiery , tried and
sentenced by a secret court-martial of seven
officers and degraded In the streets in the
presence of the militia. At another time
Franco might have listened to the whisper
Irom all Its domain and Ifrom the civilized
world that this tribunal may have made a
mistake but at this time when n single
torch would set the flrc of a European war
the government dare not discredit the. sol
diery , illut let Franco beware , for It Is
better to acknowledge openly Its weakness
than to outrage the strong seoso of justice
which lies beneath the Impulsive French na
ture and perhaps bring on a ruinous do
mestic outbreak.
ANTI-SEMITISM.
"There are also those who would lay the
blnmo on that hideous monster , antl-
Semltlsm , an evil spirit which permeates
the blood of all Europe. In evidence of this
the French newspapers have united In call
ing Dreyfus the "Jew traitor , " and many
have published cartoons representing him
ns a Judas Iscarlot. To those who have fol
lowed the history of the Jews In Franco
such an Intolerant spirit seems strangelj
out of place. Franco , which was first of all
nations in granting' full political rights to
Jews for whomMlrabeau pleaded hi legisla
tive halls , which offered Its blood for the
country In 17S9. How has Franco belittled
her own fair name In listening to the voice
of anti-Semitism. There Is no doubt thul
bigotry and fanaticism played' ' a part In
the case of Dreyfus or that the proceedings
had moro than begun when Dreyfus , the
traitor , was forgotten In Dreyfus , the Jew.
No sooner had the charges become known
than the old cry of the Cruraders , 'Down
with the Jew , ' spread over the land and
In answer to It Jewish homes were ruined
and Jewish hearts were broken. As long
as the Jew lived In obscurity ho was un
molested , but It was his success that
brought his ruin ; when his strength of
hand and brain made him conspicuous , antl-
Semltlsm In 'Europe raised Its unmanly
hand' ' to crush him. What prompts the venom
of that plrlt Is not the religious forms of
the Jew , hut It Is rather his Intellectual
superiority and. . financial success that are
exasperating ,
"But shall the Jew allow the rare gifts
of his brain and heart to remain undevel
oped , knowing that persecution Is the price
of progress ? Shall ho renounce the high
Ideals and the lofty hopes which the future
raises before Hi 1m because ho remembers
that Ills race has been made the scapegoat
of history ? Though he suffer , endure and
bleed Btill shall he not shirk his duty , for
of him have been written the prophetic
words. 'Freed from the trouble of his soul
ho shall bo satisfied * * because he
hath poured out his sou ! unto death and he
was numbered with the transgressors and
bore the fc'lns ' of many. ' "
The subject for Hie lecture next Friday
night Is ono of especial Interest to those
who partake In the ambition for a new
temple. The theme will be , "Why .1 New
Temple , When the Old One Is Not Filled ? "
Final preparations for the Jewis fair will
bo made on Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. E. S. Cromwell Has Utmost Faith in
PAINE'S ' CELERY COMPOUND.
Twenty-five years IB a long time , espe
cially for a woman to work In the gnlllng
harness of a metropolitan newspaper.
Such Is the record of .Mrs. Cromwell , vice
president of the Woman's National Press as
sociation , In the service of the Chicago Her
ald. As Washington correspondent she tele
graphed to her paper the dally reports of the
proceedings of the famous electoral com
mission of 1S77.
A quarter of a century of racing work like
this has enabled Mrs. Cromwell to know
what "nerves" mean. Her faith In Palno's
celery compound to restore the ncrvI I
ous system when It Is run down end depressed
by work , worry , rush or sickness , cannot , bo .
lightly set aside :

Gentlemen A young lady residing In my
family , who had tried various remedies for j I
nervous debility nnd depleted condition of ;

from the use of Palno's celery compound. | I
I can therefore recommend this excellent
remedy to those in need of treatment of the
same kind.
Ellen S. Cromwell.
Women have their health much more
largely In their own hands than they are ac
customed to believe.
The Impure blood that undermines the
stomach and the nervous system can bo un
questionably enriched ; the number of the
red corpuscles Increased , and the circulation
cleansed of humors by Palno's celury com-
p'ound. Sleeplessness that causes much of
the nervous prostration among women Is
entirely within the control of every person
who will take pains to correct the bad habit
the brain has fallen Into. Prof. Edward E.
Phelps , M. D. , LL. D. , of the Dartmouth
Medlcan school. In announcing his wonderful
discovery of Palno's celery compound at a
meeting of the Dartmouth Medical faculty ,
"At ono time the military hero , the con
queror of men , was honored most. Suppose
ourselves paying tribute to the master of
matter , the man who Is successful In col-
ectlng goods. There nro men who Ilvo In
the dollar sign , and nothing but the love
of gold can bo developed In them. On the
other hand , tticre are many who continually
stretch out tholr Intellectual hands for Ideas.
It Is so with religious thought. Religion Is
a power that works within us and raises use
o a higher plane , and we must prepare
ourselves for the development of this
bought. To realize our spiritual good wo
must let our being go out to other persons.
Until a person finds his own self In another
10 docs not really live. When two persons
are married wtio are not the complement of
each other a separation takes place and the
iwrrlago Is merely a legal bond.
"Are men struggling to realize their great
ness or to gather gold ? Social discontent Is
explained by the fact that some men are
rich and some poor. This Is not true.
Neither the rich nor the poor realize their
plrltual greatness. Law eannot settle this
llscontcnt. A mightier influence must be
irought to bear.
"Man must receive his philosophy of life
rom the aultior of life. There are to bo
n now heaven and a new earth and there Is
o be In that now condition oomethlng en-
Irely removed from the present. Wo will
earn how to take llfo only when wo have
earned how to be , and the being will take

Palno's celery compound by Its pronounced
nourishing power enables the nerves to get
back their control over the circulation BO
that the blood supply becomen greatest where
It Is most needed , as In the stomach after
eating , nnd least where Its presence can
only do harm , ns In thu brain when sleep la

j The nerves , when they nro strong ami
properly nourished , limit the flow of blood
to the head and draw off the excess from
the brain , thus ensuring refreshing sleep.
Persons who w'uko up tired , drowsy and nm-
bltlonlcss , or cannot sleep n whole night
through are suffering from disordered nerves.
Palne's celery compound cnlms and feeds the
nerves even to their tiniest branchings , ami
they In their turn nro enabled to equalize *
the blood supply over the body , thus sparing :
the heart , preventing coiiRratlons and rushes
of blood to the head , dizziness , paralysis ,
