the council to dc how la to appoint a spe
clal committee to Investigate the question
of whether a foundry la really a neces
ary adjunct to the terminal machine abope
of a railway company. He' wrote In part
aa follows:
"I suggest that a full Inquiry and care
ful Investigation be made of all facta bear
ing upon the practical queatlon aa to
whether under all conditions and circum
stances a foundry la necessarily a part of
a terminal machine shop plant. This la
the queatlon which must ultimately be met
In court, and It ought therefore to be faced
nd fully considered at the outset to the
end tbat the rights of the city may be
maintained and that unnecessary and vex
atious litigation may be avoided."

Mr. Connell adda: "I consider the lan
guage of the foregoing plain, clear and
unambiguous." He goea on to say: "It It
bould be ascertained by your committee
that a foundry la a necessary part of ter
minal machine shops, then I would recom
mend the passage of an ordinance making
the declaration referred to In the rever
sionary clause of the deed."
Fart of the Ordinance.

That the city attorney be and hereby la
authorised and directed to take such action

Both communication and ordinance were
referred to tbo committee on railroads and
telegraphs.
An attorney for the eighty Iron mould
ers who a present aald he did not agree
with Mr. Connell as to the principal Issue
la the case. "It seems to roe," he said,
"tbat we are not concerned with the quea
tlon of wheth.- an Iron foundry Is a neces
sary part uf a terminal machine ahop, but
rather with the queatlon: What did the
company have In contemplation at the
time It entered Into the contract and
signed the dsedf The foundry was here
and a part of .the plant at the time the
contract was made, so the company must
have had It In contemplation."

MEASURING UP CAS PIPES
How Molntosu Trieg to Get at Value of
Company'! Property.
ENGINEER BATTIN AGAIN ON THE STAND
Board Ascertains tbnt There) Are One
Haadred aad Tweatylli Miles
f Mains la City at
Omaha.
Th Board ot Equalisation Is still trying
to get at th valuation of th gas com
pany's property, and Its hesdway In that
direction Is alow. It took nesrly all yes
terday forenoon to ascertain how many
miles of gsa mains the company ha In
Omaha, South Omaha and Dundee, but the
evidence I now before the board. The
gaa company officers declare they don't
know anything about It, so the attorney has
had to subpoena witnesses from outside th
company.
Th gas company has ISA miles of mains
in Omaha, 11 1-4 miles in South Omaha and
1H miles In Dundee.
Isaac Battln. treasurer and engineer -
the gaa company, was the first wltn
the stand yesterday. He testified Friday of
last week, but was recalled yeaterday be
cause Superintendent Klumop ssld he (Bat
tln) was th on officer of the company who
was In a position to know about the main
mileage and the cost ot laying mains. It
seems, however, tbat Mr. Klumpp was mis
taksn, aa Mr. Battln said he knew abso
lutely nothing about either-of these sub
jects. Mr. Battln U a Quaker, weara th broad
brimmed hat of tbat sect, and, upon taking
the stand, asked that he might be per
mitted to affirm lnstesd ot swear that he
would tell th truth. The request was
granted.
Battln Doe Not Know,
"About how many miles of mains has
your company In Omaha?" aaked Attorney
Mcintosh.
"I do not know."
"I asked about how many. I don't ex
pect you to know to th Inch. Approxi
mately, how many miles of mains haa your
company In Omaha?"
"I do not know."
It will be observed that Mr. Battln al
ways usee ths expanded form of th verb,
saying, "I do not know," whereas Secretary
Clabaugh had used the contracted form, "I
don't know." Like Phtneas Fletcher In
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," he also used the
biblical pronouns "thee" and "thou" when
ever occasion demanded, which waa aeldom,
as the four monosyllables given above
sufficed for most ot his answers.
Mr. Mcintosh was equal to this
emergency, however. He overcame th ob
stacle by asking such questions as this:
"Have you as much as on mile?" to
which th answer would be "yes." "As
much aa ten miles?" "Yes. "As much
aa fifty miles?" A reluctant "yes." "As
much aa 100 miles?" A halting, tardy
and unwilling "yea." "As much as ISO
miles?" An emphatic "no." "Aa much
as"
At this point Councilman Hascall ob
jected. The attorney was getting the wit
ness cornered between the narrow limits
of 100 and 150 miles, and the objection
cam Just In time to head oft a piece ot
Information.
Hawaii Pata In Objection.
"Such queatlona are frivolous," objected
Hascall, "and they're needlessly consum
ing the tlm of th board. Besides, w'v
been all over that before.
A large flat book containing the com
pany'a map of Ita gaa mains waa then In
troduced in evidence, over the protest of
Hascall, and Mr. Battln, over the protest of
Attorney Prltchett. was required to take a
ruler and measure the Dunde malna. A
half hour waa apent In making these meas
urements. At the and ot this tlm Mr. Bat
tln announced that there war about on
and one-half mile of such gaa pipe In the
village ot Dundee.
Attorney Mcintosh, having been sworn,
took th stand and gave this testimony:
"I am the attorney for th complainant
in this ess. Yesterday Mr. 8. E. Lewis
snd I exsmlned this book, which contains
the map which hav been identified by
Mr. Battln as the maps of the gaa com
pany'a malna In Omaha, South Omaha
and Dundee. I went over th maps with a
ruler, measuring th malna. and gave th
figure of th dlstancea to Mr. Lewis, who
marked them down. I may hav over
looked some short mains, but I think that
In a general way my Measurements were
correct."
8. E. Lewis, Tsx Commissioner Fleming's
chief deputy, then took the stand and
corroborated Mr. Mcintosh's testimony,
adding: "My figures show that tber are
a tittle more than 130 miles of gaa mains
In Omaha."
Attorney Charles A. Ooss, Mr. Mcintosh's
office associate, then testified that he had
examined the gaa company's maps for South
Omaha and had found the malna ther to
measure 11.17 miles.
Doesn't Know the Cost.
Mr. Battln was again recalled to the wit
ness tand. Mr. Mcintosh asked:
"What la the cost per mils of putting In
gss mains?"
"I do not know."
"About what la the coat?"
"I do not know."
Th record kept by the official stenogra
pher shows that these four monosyllables
ware repeated by Mr. Battln thlrtyslx
times.
Once Mr. Mcintosh became disguated and
asked: "Does It cost anything to put In
gas mains?" To which cam thla refresh
ing answer:
"I d.o not know. I suppose that It costs
for material and labor, but I do not know."
At noon a recess waa taken intll S o'clock.

PREPARING FOR CONVENTIONS
Cessty Committees of Repabllraa aad
People's Partlea to Meet
Kext Week.
Chairman Ooss said yesterday that the
republican county central committee prob
ably would be called to meet Saturday,
May 24.
"That date," raid the chairman, "will al
low us the twenty days necessary in which
to give notice of the primaries for June 13
end the county convention for June 14. So
far as I know the only business of the
county convention will be the selection of
gatea to the state and Judicial conven
es. I have heard nothing from the con
gressional committee and do not know when
It expects to call the congressional conven
tion." Chairman Morrow of the people'a party
county committee is sround trying to find
out "where he Is at" with reference to the
calling of the county convention. The stats
convention meets In June, and at a recent
meeting of the Peter Cooper club a special
committee consisting of II. F. Mcintosh, E.
E. Thomas and George Magney was ap
pointed to confer with the county central
committee In regard to the selection of del
egates to the state convention. So far this
committee has made no advances toward
the county central committee, and the
chairman Is becoming anxious and yester
day morning he started out to get advice.
He was not present at the meeting of the
club, so did not know what that aoclety
desired.
He conferred with the secretary of ths
central committee and could get no Infor
mation from blm, as he hsd not attended
the meeting. When George Magney was
seen he confessed thst be wss not at the
meeting at which he was appointed to Con
fer with the committee and had no Idea of
what tho club desired to have done.
"The convention will have to be called
within the coming week," aald Mr. Morrow,
"and I would like to know what they ex
pect me to do, if they have aome new Idea
upon the subject which tss not been pre
sented. I don't went to call the convention
without the opinion of the club, but that
committee will have to get around pretty
soon If It bss any advice to give."

BN the times ot our grandmothers a
git l who waa itrong and healthy and
had a good appetite was considered
coarse anil unattractive. She did not take
exercise in the open air as her grand
daughter do, but tortured herself in tight
coraeta'and tight shoes and spent her time
in the houe with her music or crocheting.
But the times have changed and the strong,
healthy, rosy-cheeked girl is the twentieth
century beauty. Her beauty is in health
which give her a clear complexion, a
buoyant manner and a happy and lovable
disposition. Although girls arc more ac
tive and robust than they were a century
ago, yet there are hundreds of thousands of
them today suffering female weakness be
cause of carelessness or ignorance of the
ordinary laws of health. They stay np late
at night and lose hours of needed rest.
Going to parties and returning home in the
chilly night air, insufficiently clothed, is
the cause of many cases of female ills
which finally result in other serious troubles.
WINE OF CARDUI
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Board of Education's Selection of Teachers
Live Topio on Streets.
FRANK SEYKORA'S ELECTION A SURPRISE
Booth Omaha Sell Twenty-One Mil
lion Ponnde of Canned Meat to
British Government
Magic City Gossip.
The main topic yesterday was the action
of th Board of Education Monday evening
in the selection of teacher. While the
list selected seems to give general satis
faction, considerable surprise Is manifested
over th fact that some twenty more teach
ers than la necessary to run the schools of
the town were chosen.
The election of Prof. Frank Seykora
as principal of the schools in th placa
of N. M. Graham waa a decided surprise.
Last year Prof. Beykora, while a can
didate tor re-election, shared the ssme fate
aa Superintendent Wolfe, the board refus
ing to re-elect him to th position he had
formerly held. When bis name waa pre
sented this year, however, tbe same mem
bers who opposed him at the selection last
year openly aupported him, and he re
ceived a very complimentary vote.
Th promise of the new member to see
to it that the incompetent and those hold
ing positions by resson of political pull
ahould be ousted from the faculty wss
generally observed, and even the "watch
dog ot the board, the Tax Payers'
league, seems to find but little to condemn
In review of the work done. While there
were not many changea In the heads ot
departmenta and In principals, yet many of
the changea were openly sanctioned by th
league, both before and after the meeting
of th board Monday evening.
Strang a it may seem, ths selection of
janitors ot the schoola of tbe city seems
to stir up about aa much excitement as did
th selection of teachers. It la aald that
never In the history of th town haa as
much Interact been manifested In ' the
workings of th Board of Education aa this
year. On th aubject ot Janitors It is
thought that a bitter fight will occur In
th board, inasmuch aa it Is said a certain
combine ia extremely anxious to retain
many of the present Janitors, while another
ia equally desirous ot having all of thole
tow acting la this capacity "Bred" from
th pay roll of the school district.

Miss Nellie Drake, No. 81 Madison 8U
Memphis, Tenn., took cold in this way
with serious results. But she was promptly
relieved by taking Wine of Cardui at the
advice of a friend. That friend waa truly
a friend indeed. Miss Drake feels deeply
grateful to Wine of Cardui for her delir
erance from suffering. She says:
" Experience is a sever teacher sometimes,
as I hav learned. Two years ago I attended
an evening reception and ball and leaving it
I became suddenly chilled and ths conse
quences which followed were very serious.
Headaches and pains In my sides and shoul
der blade were a very commoa occurrence.
I lost my appetite and sooa ceased to eo(oy
life. A good neighbor advised m to try
Tin of Cardui and I sent for tome. It b
certainly a wonderful remedy. In a few
weeks I was well and hav not had a pain
since. You deservs success and I certainly
hope you will hav if."
Miss Drake has learned what thousands
of other young ladies have learned, that
actual experience is a severe teacher and
she wishes other girls to profit by her ex
ample. She knows what it is to suffer and
she also knows that Wine of Cardui brings

if she could have mad it more convincing
she would hare done so. Sb has shown
every young girl the way to health and If
they do not accept it they refuse health
itself.
The regularity of the menstruation is
the most important matter for a young
woman to consider. Mothers should see
to it that their daughters pass to woman
hood in health. Wine of Cardui is the
medicine to correct disordered menses. It
can be depended on without fail in uncom
plicated cases. A million suffering women
besides Miss Drake owe life and health to '
Wine of Cardui. If you could see Miss .
Drake and hear her tell the story of her
cure you would not hesitate to secure a bot
tle from your druggist immediately. This
pure Wine can be taken in the privacy of
the home. Tou need not see a doctor nor ,
be examined nor take advice. Just buy
$1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui and a pack
age of Thedf ord'g Black-Draught and take
them in private at home. That is bow
Miss Drake and hundreds of thousands of
other young women have been cured. We
hare never known of a case that has not
been greatly benefited by this treatment
and few that have failed of a permanent
cure. If yon are suffering and need advice
write to The Ladies' Advisory Department,
The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chatta
nooga, Tenn., and a letter of advice will
cost you nothing. Go to your druggist
and get a bottle of Wine of Cardui today.
