About $5,000 also Is wanted for permanent street repairs. In all, about $160,000 will be asked to defray the expenaes of the Improvements desired.

It Is asserted that bonds now can be sold at a low rate of interest and that the overlap can be provided for In the same Issue, thus cutting down the Interest fund. In this connection some of the membera of the council have been corresponding with cities of the same class In other states. In some Instances it is found that the fire and po lice departments are better provided for and that there are more miles of paved streets, while the levy is higher. While the valuation of 8outh Omaha Is $16,000,009, that of Qulncy, Maai., a city of 23,000 population la $22,000,000. The levy there for running expenses is $177,040 a year and yet the city is In debt. From the comparison made, South Oman la not considered so badly off except in that it needs more public im provements, and as the taxpaying public knows, Improvements cost money. Mayor Koutsky is holding down expenditures to the lowest notch and expects to show at the end of his first year in the executive chair a big saving as compared with former administrations. There Is likely to be some opposition to the Issuing of general bonds for $150,000, but the talk now la the calling of a mass nwlog for a general discussion of the matter. Collect lag Taxes. During the month of December, 1902, City Treasurer Howe collected city taxes to the amount of $90,137.46. This is the largest amount ever collected in a single month by the treasurer here. While some of the cor poratlons paid In full, others took advant age of the two payment clause In ths char ter. As a general thing, ths email property owners paid In full. Treasurer Howe Is now engaged in checking up his books prepare tory to Issuing a call for outstanding war ranta. This call will be msde about Janu ary 15. Improvement t'lnb Meeting;.

Among the many manufacturing Institu tions which have made wonderful headway In the city of St. Louis can be mentioned the cigar factory of the F. R. Rice Mercan tile Cigar company. This company has not only met - with immense success on the "Mercantile" 10-cent cigar, but also on the "305" and "Agent" 5-cent cigars, and there is no question that a great part of this rapid growth on the Mercantile and other brands of cigars Is, to a great extent, due to the fact that the firm has not only got an elegant force of first-class salesmen, who are extremely popular with ths trade and who are working with a full heart for the success of the firm, but also because the factory has one of the best force of cigar makers. This feeling was clearly demonstrated when the firm found that they were unable to get enough first-class ctgarmakers to fill their orders. When they laid the matter before the eigarmakers they at once de cided, being that they could not furnish enough men when the orders were piling up in the house, that they would sacrifice a few of their Sundays and make an excep tion, which has never been done before by ths Clgarmakers' union, to work tor a firm on a Sunday. The sales of ths firm lsst year were the largest in the history of their business, snd the Increase la due to the fact that the factory absolutely refuses to give out any schemes whatever either In ths way of free cigars, cigar lighters or cutters. Every thing Is sdded to the quality of the cigar, and the conaumer will in the end find out which branda are aold on a strictly merit basla and which are acid on a scheme basis, and will then select the merit cigars. A great many have visited the factory during the year and were Impressed with the cleanliness and the workmen. Alao the fins Havana, that la worked In the factory, and It always affords the firm pleasure to escort anyone through the fac tory who wishes to see It. To Build an Klectrle Road. CLINTON.

BASED ON THOMPSON'S VOTE Democratic City Committee Decides on Wart Representation in Convention. PRIMARIES TO BE HELD IN FEBRUARY Difference of Opinion Exists Only as to Standard to Be Adopted In Apportioning; Delegates to the Convention. It took the democratic city central com mittee Just fifteen minutes In executive ses sion last night to change the method of apportionment of delegates to the city con vention from the arbitrary number of nine from each ward to a number per ward based upon the last vote cast, that for W. H. Thompson, candidate for governor. The setting of the date for the primaries as February 12 and of the convention for February 14 was a process equally brief, and after some additional business of a more routine type bad been transacted, the com mittee adjourned. Washington hall was the place set for the convention. The executive committee was empowered to change the dates. The apportionment matter failed to bring forth the fight that had been expected. Twenty-flve of the twenty-nine members of the committee were present or repre sented by proxy. An early vote showed that ffteen of the twenty-flve favored a change from the arbitrary eystem to the appor tionment by vote. Following this came a vote as to whether the apportionment should be on the vote for Thompson for gov ernor In 1302. or that for Poppleton for mayor In 1!'00. Fifteen stood for the Thompson gauge, ten for the Popplton. Apportionment Decided On. As it was agreed to give one delegate for each seventy-five votes or fraction thereof cast, the new system allows ll.r delegates at the convention, while formerly there have been but eighty-one. The apportion ment by wards Is: Thompson Vote. Delegates. First KR.1 12 Second 1,430 . 20 Third 1,076 15 Fourth 8i7 12 Fifth 773 11 Sixth 1.072 15 Seventh 617 9 Eighth fiSS 12 Ninth 631 9 Totals 8.227 115 This apportionment gives a great Increase of representation to the Second, Third and Sixth wards, almost sufficient to control the convention. The members of the com mittee assert that there was absolutely no factional lining up on this matter, but that any difference of opinion as to the proper method and the proper vote to take as a basla resulted entirely from personal mo tives among the different ward residents. In the absence of Chairman W. D. Gil bert, C. L. West, chairman of the executive committee, occupied the chair. Secretary T. H. Comte was on duty. ' Stanley Leto- vsky's place on the executive committee was declared vacant, because of his change of political heart, and Olrlch Jellen was named on it In bis stead. Places for Primaries. Places at which the primaries will be held were named as follows: Fist Ward 1703 South Tenth. Pecond Ward Fourteenth and William. Third Ward 1024 Dodge. Fourth Ward Undecided. Fifth Ward The first cigar store south of Locust Htreet, on the east side of Slx- leemn. Sixth Ward Idlewlld hall. Twenty-fourth end Grant. Seventh Ward Twenty-seventh and Dor cas.

The second trial of Albert Phillips, colored. and Lewis Brooks, white, for the murder of John Sundblad at Albert City, Is in prog ress here. The two men had engaged In the bank robbing business In northwestern Iowa and were tracked to Albert City, where they and a third man, who was shot dead, were surrounded in the depot. The posse fired upon them and the fire was returned. Eundblad was the only one of the posse killed. The men were convicted and sen tenced to hang, but were given a new trial because the evidence failed to show what the supreme court wonld approve as pre meditated murder. It Is regarded as certain that the men will be convicted and probably of mutder In ths first degree, In which case they will be again sentenced to hang. Fire May Prove Bleaalnsi. CEDAR FALLS, la., Jan. 10. (Special.) It Is very probable that the fire which caused the $100,000 losa to the Great West ern Cereal company at Fort Dodge will be the means of reopening the inllls of the compsny In this city, which were closed a few days previous to the fire. A score of men were thrown out of employment In the midst of the winter. The reason for closing the mill waa the scarcity of oats In this vicinity, all having to be shipped In from Fort Dodge territory. The Fort LOST SIGHT OF A Most Important Aid to Education. An Important point often overlooked by parents In bringing up children ia ths use of proper food as an aid to education. Children make wonderful progress when scientifically fed. A little woman In East Brentwood, N. H., says of her girlhood days, "I was never very rugged and cold lunches and hearty even ing meala and improper food soon begsn to work serious havoc. "Then came a period of self-boarding while away at college and it ia now easy to see where, in the haste to acquire knowl edge the true knowledge of proper and nourishing food was neglected. The result, as may be Imagined, was indigestion, dys pepsia and constipation. Then followed a weary time of dieting and, one after an other, physicians were consulted, till hope of permanent cure was abandoned. Then, two years after leaving school, I entered a new home as a bride and having grown wiser through experience, I resolved to use food in sccordance with hygienic principles. This was also necessary as I could not eat anything at all rich. "We commenced to use Grape-Nuts and soon became convinced that It was the most nutritious food we could obtsln. I noticed sn Immediate Improvement in my health, my Indigestion became less marked and eventually left me for good. "It la now two years that we have eaten Grape-Nuts regularly, and I was never aa well In my life as now. I have gained ten pounds In weight snd can eat, without causing the slightest distress, the richest kind of food aa well as anyone, the dys pepsla la entirely gone and constipation never troubles me. "This msy not interest others, but it is of greet Interest to us, for it is our firm belief that my present good health la due solely to the constant use of Grape-Nuts and ws feel that we have great reason to be thsnkful to the maker of such a per feet and delicious food."

Reserve Investment Banquet, About a doien agency representatives of the Reserve investment company, from Nebraska and adjoining states, sat down to a banquet given by the company at the HOSPE, MElDGTJSODTj of l"Jcst Virginia Writes to a friend from Charleston, under date of Sept 8th, 1902, saying, "I hare used a number of bottles of KODOLand have found it to be a very effective and, indeed, a very powerful remedy for stomach troubles. I do not hesitate to recommend it to all person who have weak digestive organs." Indigestion is mainly due to a lack of some of the element which constitute natural digestive juices. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure supplies these, and reduces the food to a condition required for transforming it into living tissues. Kodol is unlike all other reme dies in that it combines both digestive and tonic properties. Its use enables the stomach and digestive organs to digest, assimilate and transform all of the nourishment contained in all of the whole some food that may be eaten, into the kind of blood that make bone, sinew, tissue, muscle, health and strength. DYSPEPSIA CURE If the stomach is disordered Kodol will correct it, and if diseased Kodol will cure it. This famous remedy lays the foundation for health and the upbuilding of strength by cleansing, purifying, sweetening and strengthening the glands and membranes of the stomach, and by supplying the natural juices necessary to perfect digestion, assimilation and nutrition. Dr. Hayes, of IVaohingtorij D. C, Writes an autograph letter to one of his professional friends, saying: "In a number of chronic cases, after exhausting the materia medica for even palliative measures, with negative results, I have prescribed Kodol with marked and increasing benefit, from the first dose until the stomach's disability has been permanently relieved.
