George P. Munro opened the mcctli

the Retailers' association to sound tl
Bontlmcnt regarding the wisdom of liolilli
the exposition another year. Personally 1

their minds to have another exposition tbi
would carry It through to suocesi resardle
of the opinion of other parts of the countr
Ho believed this meeting would be doclsl'
regarding the project. He said It was

Coltcc A Mother' * Story ,
"Our daughter , Maud , gradually began
Bliow more and more nervous trouble du
Jng her school days last spring , and It can
to such a pass that she was not making tl
progress desired , and was so terribly nor
out , that except by the utmost effort si
could not sit still or get her mind upr
her work. One evening I asked h
what in the world ailed her , and tcld her
put her lesson aside until morning , so thi

he could rest. She said , "No , mqther ,
must get this leeson tonight and bo t
early to get another In the morning ,
don't know why It Is , but I have been fal
Ing behind my class for over six month
and I must work In order to graduate th
spring. I bellevo I will go and make n
i a cup ot strong coffee , that will brace n
up. " So a good cup of coffee was made ai
Maud got through with her lessons at
o'clock.
"The next morning I heard a rattling

to find Maud there building a ( Ire. 8

to study , co she thrught she would ma
eorno coffee , as It helped her the night t
fore. I went back to bed with a hea
heart , for there was a thought of dang
creeping In. Step by etep my mind we
back over the last year and the acts of o
i < dear daughter during that tlmo passed t
H fore me like a panorama. She used to
10 well and happy , but now she aoted as
eha waa almost crazy wltb nervousness a
a wreck of her former beautiful self ,
dawned upon the Mother's mind that Ma
i * was faded away , and looking to God ,
, breathed a silent prayer to the de
Father to save my child.
"Tho next morning I started out to co
' suit the family phjulclan , but just at t
door , I met a neighbor's daughter on t
way to school. A year ago this young la
had been confined to her bed for mont
with nervous prostration , and It w
whispered about that If she lived she woi
' be likely to lose her mind. Her parei
' cent her away to a village nearby , and tl
was tbo first time I had seen her since r
1 return. I saw that she was the plctu
? of health , and I said : "Why , Fani
Drayor , what have you been doing wl
yourself ? I never saw such a change
my life. ' Bhs answered , 'Why , jou knc
' I finally found out that the coffee I w
drinking was ruining me , and when I j
out to Auntie's she took the coffee aw
entirely and gave me Postu
Cereal Food Coffee. That Is t
only thing I have had , and yi
Thait Is the only thing I have had , and y
5 . can see what the result Is. I am just
i well as 1 can possibly be. and gettl
| along beautifully with my school work.
i "I waa so deeply Impressed with Faunl
I " experience , and her former condition U
' lied so closely with Maud's , that I iibn
i doned my proposed trip to the physlclai
I and went instead to the grocer's and uccui
i a package of I'oatum. That night Ma
I had Postum Food Coffee , Instead of coffc
j and the next morning the dear child sa

j very much surprised , and I f ared , pe

raretlng ho called on J. il. Dumont to prt
eldo.
eldo.Mr. . IJumont made a brief speech In fav (
of the proposition In taking the chnli
Charles D , Thompson was chosen secretai
of the meeting ,
Frank H. Coates cald If there was n <
$100,000 Mr. lUr would sell out his lato-o
and not subscribe any more , If $100,0
was subscribed the committee would f
ahead with the enterprise. He did m
know lion- much had bt-cn subscribed , ca a
the lists wen * not In , but he understood thi
T60.SOO had been subscribed.
N. A. Kuhn said he favorc < l the poje
beaause It would help every householder !
Omaha , every freeholder In Omaha ar
benefit Nebraska generally.
W. II. Green told how he would advertl ;
the aflalr by n business men's excursion
Cuba via Ne-.v York.
Ai Mnndclherg commended the scheme nt
pralstxl Mr. ller for so fearlessly startlr
the ball n-rolllng. Ho said If the merchan
of fOmuha had subscribed toward the la
exposition In lime of panic , there was eve
more reason for subscribing for another e :
position now , In a period of prosperity.
Robert Cowles said ho favored the schcn
un it presented a most favorable opportunli
for an exhibit of the res-urces and proJuc
of the new colonial possessions.
C. W. Sherman was called for and askc
Mr. Cobb 'to ' explain why the legal profei
ston'of thu city Is opposed to another e :
position. Mr. Cobb said that was ithe fir
tlmo he had heard tbo question. He did n
bcllovo the lawyers were opposed to tl
project , OB they had found the Ubt summer
very piotablo one. Ho said the opposltlc
of Omaha's country friends had been great
exaggerated. Ho predicted twice the succci
lit IS'J'J that Omaha achieved In 1898.
( inthvrltiK More ShcUeln.
A recesi of fifteen minutes was taken '
secure subscriptions. Mr. Key explatm
that $ GOSOO had been subscribed and on !
flOO.GOO would be needed to the -date
opening. Hi > thought $300.000 would covi
itho entire expenditures. John Butler sa
more money would be needed and he thougl
$2.10,000 should be raised by the citizens <
Omaha. Hn did not believe the state cou
bo counted on for any appropriation th
ycaf.
"If the populists helped us two years at
the republican legislature ought to do <
much for us this year , " Interjected Jot
Powers , and the crowd laughed and a ]
plauded at the hit.
When the list came back it showed thi
$1,100 had been subscribed during ! the &
teen minutes of recess. Chairman Dumoi
said ho thought this a very satlsfactoi
showing , a more favorable one , 4n fact , the
was made by the last exposition at a corn
spending period. He thought that $100.01
would not be a bagatelle , but that $250,01
or $300,000 would be needed.
G. S. Denawa urged everyone to atten
the mass meeting of Wednesday evening i
th city ho.ll to help push the good thlt
along. He said every visitor who came '
the exposition last summer had gone awt
more than pleased and each one of the :
would bring back at least four more vl ;
Itors.
Proprietor Bernard of the Dellone hot
said be would take $4,000 or $5,000 worl
of stock. Hf made large profits by buylt
the stock of the last exposition at 15 cen
on the dolUr and getting the 75 per cei
dividend. He had a hotel in Phlladelph
during the Centennial and he knew thi
Omaha had received several times an muc
advertising In 1898 as the Quaker City ha
in 1876. Ho believed many timea the vli
Itors and exhibitors from the east as can
hero last summer would be here next yea
C. 0. Lobeck and J. H. Woods also epol
in favor of the movement.
WINDING UP THE EXPOSITIO
Next Meetlnir of the Board of Di
rector * Ha but Mitle Bnnt-
ne ' Before It.
The next regular meeting of the Board <
Directors of the exposition occurs Decembi
9 , and there Is no indication that there wl
be any occasion for calling the board ti
gether before that time. Since the pro ]
crty of the association has been disposed i
there is no business remaining except sue
as pertains to winding up the affairs of tt
different departments , and thla Is not of
nature to necessitate the attention of the b
board. The only subject that seems to di
mand the notice of the directors IB the dii
posal of the surplus that still remains I
the treasury and it Is not likely that at
action will be taken for some time. The et
tire amount now available is about $123,00
and a pay roll which amounts to $3,000 at
bills that aggregate $15,000 are ready fi
c-nslderatlon by the executive committi
today. How much more expense wilt be li
volved before the affairs of the assoclatlc
are closed up is npeculatlve , but It is bellevt
that nearly $100,000 will remain. A sma
amount of this will be required to mal
good the rebate on subscriptions that ai
paid up before December 1 and enough wl
remain to very nearly pay the remainic
25 per cent on stock.
It eeems very doubtful , however , whethi
any further distribution will be made f <
some time. The extensive litigation I
which the association Is now Invorved
largely responsible for a marked dlvlncUm
tlon on the part of the principal stockholi
crs to vote away the money that remains !
the treasury. They fear that in the evci
that the cash Is disposed of and that Judf
ments are subsequently secured against tl
exposition , they would be held Individual !
liable for the entire amount , while the bul
of the stockholders would escape. Cone
quently they favor holding the remainic
surplus until the results of some of tl
principal sulu can be approximated ai
measure of safety for the association.
The final act In completing the dlssolt
tlon of the Indian congress at the expositlc
grounds was consummated yesterday , , whe
Dill Llddlard shot and killed the buffalo , 1
S. Grant , that was one of the attractions du
Ing the eummer. The buffalo was a bul
4 years old and was very ferocious. Durlt
the exposition he nearly killed half a doz <
Indians and wounded several horses thi
came too close to his horns. The anlm
waa owned by the United States governmei
and was a part and parcel of the Indian coi
gress. Captain Mercer , who was the GUI
todlan of the United States property on tl
Indian congress grounds , sold the buffat
fa that It has netted Uncle Sam the sum i
$100. Ed Maurcr bought the head and hid
while Henery Honnlff secured the meat.

The Omaha Bridge and Terminal compai
IB at last fairly on Its way to secure rig
of way to lay railroad tracks into the ci
from the north. After another two-houi
utBslon of the city council yesterday afto
noon nn ordinance that appeared to satis
the city fathers and General Manager We
ster of the Terminal company nnd whl
incorporated some of the amendments ask
for by property owners on the day befo
was agreed upon. A new ordinance cental
Ing all the amendments waa drawn up 1
City Attorney Connell and waa tntroduc
at last night's meeting of the council , w
rtad a first and second time by title and w
referred to a committee. This was but a \
of necessary formality , for there seems
be no doubt that , unless legal or other o
staclcs In the meanwhile arise , the ord
nance will bo passed on Us third reading
next Tuesday's meeting of the council ai
will become a law.
The new ordinance contains the followli
conditions , briefly stated :

Ing in the ordinance shall be construed ;
interfering with the right of any propet
owner to recover from the company ai
damages resulting to private property 1
reason of the construction of tbo rail rot
tracks or the use and occupation of the a
leys.
leys.The
The following other conditions arc in
posed , a violation of any of which may resu
In a forfeiture of the rights granted ;
The track of the company along Fou
teonth street from Nicholas to Cumlng eht
be'so located that Us middle line shall 1
not less than twenty-tour feet west of tl

The company shall within ninety do ;
after the approval of the ordinance file wl

The company shall within one year fro

tracks as shown In Bold plat and shall ha1
them in operation.
The city reserves < the right to at any tin
construct sewers , water pipes , gas pipes >

The company shall switch or transfer tl
cars and trains of any and all railroad cor.
panics now existing In the city or that mi

pensatton without discrimination ; and shi
not enter Into any agreement , comblnatli
or trust with any other bridge company <
companies now existing in Omaha or Coui
icl Bluffs , or which may hereafter exist
such places , for the purpose of raising 01
maintaining rates.
Connection ! irlth Other Cotnpanli
Any railroad company or private own
of real estate adjacent to the tracks sh ;
have the right to construct cm their ov
property sidetracks to the company's track
The terminal company shall at Its own e :
pense furnish all frogs and fixtures uecessa
to connect these stuetracks with ( ts ma
track and shall promptly switch cars to ai
from these sidetracks for a reasonable cor
peusation without discrimination.
The company shall replace the paving b
tween Its tracks and two feet outside ai

Ing or planking whenever ordered to do
by the mayor and city council.
The company shall lay Its tracks on tl

the curb llnta.
The laying of tracks shall be construi

The company shall within two years
the passage of the ordinance have In actl
operation over Us tracks regular frclg
trains of some Interstate railroad syste
which does not enter into the city on i
own tracks at the date of the passage
th ordlnace.
The ordinance , so amended , contained
number of conditions suggested by proper
owners recently , but others were turm
down. Among the more Important of the
that were thus treated was one to the e
feet that the Terminal company should n
sell its lines or terminals nor combine wl
cny other railroad company , but abould a
ways maintain ita system separate fro
any other. The same action was taken i
an amendment that the company should 1
unable to sell any of Its rights or prlvlleg
under the ordinance without the consent
the city council and mayor. General Mai
ager Webster declared that the right of wi
could not be accepted by his company und
the proposed condition and the council c
Incided with him In the opinion that it w. .
an unjust condition.
Not a Franchise.
Another amendment requiring that the o
dlnance should bo submitted to a vote
the people was not adopted because It w. .
held that In granting the right of way tl
council is not granting a franchise. Tl
same action was taken with regard to a r
qulrement that a board of appraisers sbou
be appointed a * In condemnation proccedlni
to assess and award damages due the cl
and property owners an a consequence
laying the railroad tracks on the streets at
that the amount of the award should be pa
into the city treasury before a track is lal
The city was believed to be fully protect !
by the condition imposed that the compar
shall keep the city fre of all damages thi
may arise from the construction of U
tracks.
The amendment requiring an annuity wi
downe-d because again it was held that tt
granting of the right of way U not In tt
nature of a' franchise nnd that an annul
cannot therefore bo required. Morcove
some of the councilman expressed then
selves to the effect that the city wou
gladly give the Terminal company free ei
trance Into the city in return for one i
two new railroads.
The amendment that was adopted and n
quires that within two years the Terrain
company must have in operation over 1
tracks the regular freight trains of an li
terntato railroad that does not nt preaei
come Into Omaha over Its own tracks wi
Incorporated nt the suggestion of Councl
man Mercer. Ho Insisted that the reasc
that the city gave the right of way was bi
cause it expected in return some new road
Unless assurance was given that such r
turn wn to be given ho declared that 1
Would bo opposed to the ordinance. Tl
company might lay tracks In compllnm
with the conditions of the ordinance an
without using them , might hold them fi
a dozen years until it secured a big prli
for the privileges for which it had pa
nothing. The amendment waa acceptable
General Manager Webster.
In the course of the discussion over th
matter Mr. Webster again stated that tl
Port Arthur was the only road that has v
to date signified Its Intention of coming In
Omaha over the Terminal company's track
although he hoped another would be secure-
He said , however , that If neither road wi
secured the Terminal company might d <
tcrmlne to operate a line between Omal
and Chicago itself.
Oninhn Ilond WantH Something.
Scllcltor White of the Chicago , St. Pan
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad was preset
at the meeting and before adjournment Wf
taken offered an ordinance by which tt
Omaba road Is to receive recompense In r >
turn for its action In enabling the Termini
company to come into Omaha by way i

lug upon the paved portion of the stree
It asks > to be given absolutely clear title 1
the twentyfoot'space on the west side <
Fourteenth street , between Nicholas ar
Cumlng streets , to which the city also claln
title.
In the ordinance It was set out -that tt
Omaha road claimed , through adverse po :
session , the right to the west thirty feet i
Fourteenth street from Cumlng < to a poll
about ICO feet south of Nicholas. The eai
ten feet of this strip had been given 4o tt
Terminal company for Ms track. The con
pany asked that its title , to the remainder i
the strip bo ratified and ithai it be given
deed to the remaining ISO feet In length an
twenty feet In width to Nicholas street. Tb
ordinance was also Introduced last night an
referred.
In connection with these ordinances an
In consequence of the settlement of tl
controversy that tais been going on f <
weeks , Mayor Moorcs returned to the counc
the resolution by which the Board of Publ
Works had been ordered to tear up all ral !
road tracks within the full 100 feet width i
Fourteenth street between Nicholas an
Cumlng. This resolution was placed o
flic. These railroad matters were by far tt
most important pieces of business at tt
council session , which was < the shortest he !
for many weeks.

Councilman Stuht Introduced the followln
resolution :
Whereas , The'business interests of Omat
and South Omaha ore Identical and the tw
cities ought to > be united Into one prior t
the next census , that the world may kno
the real growth of Omaha ; and ,
Whereas , One1 of the greatest obstacles 1
such union Is theMack of acquaintance an
association be'twt A the residents of the tw
cities by reassn M1 insufficient transports
tlon facilities ; 9and ,
Whereas , An extension of the South Thli
teenth street car line to the packing houst
In South Omaha would open up a larg
area in tbo southern part of the city fc
residences to people working in Sout
Omaha and tend to make the two cltte
grow together and establish a mutuallt
of Interest ; and ,
Whereas , The Omaha Street Railway company
franchise to operate tl

in Justice , to recognize a corresponding dut
to the public ; therefore , De It

of Omaha , the mayor concurring , That tt
Omaha Street Railway company be re
quested to extend its South Thirteenth strei
line of railway to the packing houses (
South Omaha , by way of Missouri avenue.
A motion to pass this resolution calle
forth objections from Councllraen Moui
and Mercer , who- did not want the council 1
go on record as In favor of an extension ' t
'
South Omaha along Thirteenth street' It
of Hanscom park befoi

examining into the merits of the two route
Mr. Mount thought that unless the terrltot
through which the proposed route IB to ru
Is thickly settled It would be a hardship I
compel the company to put In a line ,
motion was therefore made by Mercer I
refer the resolution to the proper commli
tee.
Councilman , Stuht declared that the strec
car company had promised the line fc
years and bad always failed to fulfill tt
promise. He gave notice that if the lit
waa not laid he would take steps to compi
the company to tear up every foot of unuse
track In the city.
The motion to refer prevailed , Burkle ;
Lobeck and Stuht being the only membei
to vote in the negative.

Was troubled with a burning swisntion
across the small of my back , thai all-
gone feeling , was despondent , fretful
and discouraged ; the leait exertion
tired me. I tried several doctors but
received little benefit. Ai last I de
cided to give your Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef
fect of the first bottle was magical.
Those symptoms of weakness that I
was afflicted with , vanished like vapor
before the sun. I cannot speak too
highly of your valuable remedy. It is
truly a boon to woman. "
