At tbe meeting of the Pout b a est Im
provement rlub last tight tbe power canal
proposition vh given ronriacTat.ion and
resolution In favor of tbe Kosewater tran
ihtf ordinance unanimously adopied.
The matter aas brought up It W. H.
Green, a bo said: "Th people should be
given an opportunity to vote on 'he fran
chise proposed by Andrew Rosea-ater.
Omaha mul have cheap power, but It will
never be secured unless some man u given
an opportunity to Interest the capital
needed. Other cities are making prorreas
alone these lines and Omaba mutt not be
left in the rear."
City Attorney Council told cf tbe
recent anion of tbe council in this matter,
ret-ulting in tbe death of tbe Hae;:all ordi
nance. Tbe only ordinance abicb can bow
be passed in time for tbe sprirg election
it tbe pending ordinance granting a fran
chise to Andrew Roeewater nd bis asso
ciates. R. W. I'Tball spoke in favor of tbe meal
ore briefly.
waellsaaa Here's Position.
Fred Hoye said that be supported tbe
Hascail ordinance honestly, but if tbe
people of thii city are sure that the pend
ing ordinance ia tbe pending one he a ill
aupport it; that while he in the servant of
the people be muni use his own Judgment
in the matter.
In response to Mr. Hoye. Mr. Green aaid
that taik of other companies amounts to
nothing, or tht y are all In the air; that
BO expense is attached to tbe city under
tha Roeewater ordinance; that he would
oppose any bonus by tbe city; that the
mosey cannot be raised unless a franchise
la first secured.
This resolution, offered by M. J. Feenaa,
was adopted:
Resolved. That the Southwest Improve
ment club urgently requests the city coun
cil to permit the people of Omens "to vote
i:pon the question -of rrar.tina a fremhlse
for an elect rie power company a proposed
by Andrew Roacwater. hs this auesttor ran I
be voted upon this spring at no additional
eajxnse to the rity.
Wiri Matters,
Fred Brhame reported that but seventy
eighl feet frontage is necessary to give a
majority of the property along Twenty
fourth street, between Liravenwortb and
Mayon streets, for tbe change in grade, and
thst there are two property owners who
will probably sign this week representing
146 feet. 0 that thr ebans.e in grade is con
sidered practically secured.
Fred Htye reported thst he had fulfilled
his promise of the week before and a reso
lution for additional electric lights is be
fore the council.
The members of tbe club from tbe Sev
en! h ward took occasion to 'roast" D. T.
Mount for failure to attend to the work of
his office, particularly in the way of secur
ing Improvements for the Seventi ward.
Mr. Hoe aaid that tbe erty cannot be
adequately lighted until the coencil is al
lowed more money is the lighting fund.
M. J. Fernan gave a short history of the
club. Baying that its success In securing
Improvements for that part of the city is
dne to the fart that it has never taken any
part in politics.
K. 1 Entry, a resident of Omaha for
forty-one years, was present and gave a
talk on city improvements, dwelling espe
cially on the necessity of making all im
provements permanent where possible, es
pecially in the matter of grades, as changes
are expensive and one great change is much
better than several small ones made at dif
ferent times.
TRIP THROUGH WEST INDIES
Katber Hayes at lairr Tells at a
Pleasa at W later Wrtli
Jssrsry.
Father Hayes, parira priest of Imogens,
la., for the lrst fifteen sre. has but re
cently returned from s tve weeks' trip
through the West Indies Bid is quartered
at tbe Merchants. Tbe tr.p was taken
solely ft pleasure and observation tad
as in aU respects a most delightful and
interesting ene. Fpesking of kit n-erl-enc-s,
he said:
'I ass but one of a psrty ef shout f.
that took tbe trip on a Hamburg liner, a
magnificently equipped shin The tour took
in all of the British. Isnifh. French and
American Vest Indies. 1 was particularly
impressed with Porto Rice, and our stop
at San Juan was a very plcsssnt one. The
conditions on the island are not very en
couraging. The people are mostly blacks
and are very poor, and poverty is increas
ing among them. I attribute 11 to tbe
American tarjfl.
"While tl.bw.OOO has been returned di
rectly to tbem, it was first taken from
them, and they are leas satisfied than
under the free trade system prevailing
under tbe Spanish occupation. frices are
fc.gb and the natural indolence of tbe
people only aggravate their poverty. As a
rule they are moral, courteous and gen
erous, and extremely improvident. At San
Juaa prison HH prisoners a ere behind tbe
bars for petty crimes., largely theft, and
a considerable a us her for murder or at
tempts at murder. On an inland half a
mile out in tbe bay is a leper colony of
th.ny-ane. Lrprciry is decreasing since
tbe Americans have acquired tbe island of
Porto Rico.
"1 visited tbe inland of St. Thomas and
found affairs there in bad shape. Tbe
people of Bt. Thomas are nearly ahlte and
are a thnifty class. The harbor is the
finest in the Wert lnclies. The trouble
there lies tn tbe prospect of tbe self of the
irlcnd to tbe Vnited Stales and the subse
quent failure of tbe nrgotiat ions. A num
ber 'if speculative Yankees invented in all
tbe available lands and property there in
anticipation of making millions wben the
island became tbe property pf the Vnited
States. Then ciroe tbe collapce, shen tbe
Bale fell through, and now you can buy
villss. farms and plantations at your can
prices. In fact, tbe bottom has dropped out
of Pu Thomas with the collapse of tbe
boom. Tbe island is sot self-sustainlrg,
as tbe Danish government has to contrib
ute from tlfi.ooo to U&.OCtf each year lor
its government.
"I visited both Hsvana and Santiago de
Cuba and find the same general conditions
of poverty prevailing there as in Porte
Rico. The Cubans are enthusiastic ove
their liberty and independence. The people
do not take kindly to tbe Tlatt amendment,
but rather take it as an Infringement cn
their liberty and rights. The evidences of
the American occupation are manifest in
the sanitary conditions in all tbe cities I
visited. It is bard to reconcile tbe average
Cuban to tbe necessity of rlcanlinpss. He
aould sooner have tbe yellow fever and
unhampered liberty than cleanliness and
dependence.
' I visited the island of Martinique and
saw the partially buried city of St. Pierre.
But few vestiges of the buildings remain.
The streets are still strewn with the skulls
and hones of the ill fated inhabitants. We
ascended Mount Pelee to within two miles
of the crater, which is Btlll belching forth
volumes of steam, smoke, mud and dust.
We could go no nearer because the ground
was too hot. The most abject and pitiable
poverty prevails among the Inhabitants,
many of tbem being made helpless cripples
by the great disaster."

Many people think that bees one their

not occurred to them that there are rem

for Its cures. It is a liniment and ia called

of Monon, Ind.. writes: "I can truly Bay

Mr. Jos. W. Currena. tbe postmaster at

Receipts at tbe South Omsha postoflice
are constantly grew nig. For tbe mor.th of
February the stamp sales aniounteJ to
S,48f.ltH This shows an increase of shout
1400 over tbe same morth s year ago.
Month by month tbe buriness of tbe potit
ofUce here Increases. This increase is not
alone confined to stamp aales. but pertains
to the money order department as well.
Februery is generally confide red a dull
month, but ibe compa"lson shows thtt tbe
oSoe here etceeCod the expectations of tbe
postmaster. March If s good month and
heavy receipts rre looked for. With tbe
rapid Increase in buFiners there Jr a de
mand for more help and it is understood
that noon tbe pot mart c-r will ak for more
clerks and the chances are that there will
le need of one cr two additional carriers.
As it is now tbe carriers have sll tbey ran
do to cover their routes in tbe allotted
time. With eves one mere carrier the
service could be improved to a considerable
extent, although there is no complaint to
be made on the present delivery service.
Tb station at the Exchange buiidinr. has
taken away a portion of the busloest from
tbe main office and is of great benefit to
tbe live stork dealers, as the maile are
handled much more rkpidly lhun under tbe

only a superintendent and s c Icrk. but
ahen tbe busy season commcccer it if ex
pected that an additional clerk will be
needed in order to properly handle tbe
mail fled by tbe Stork Ytrds company,
the banks and tbe commission men.
Mast laproie sUeaslks.
All over the city improvements in r.ide
walts are being made and the city officials
decltre that it is no more than right to
compel the Board of Education to lay good
walks arcund its property at Twenty-third
and K streets. The walks in front of the
school property on K street are in a very
bad condition, while on Twenty-third street
there is no wslk to speak of at all. A
notice Is to be sent to the board by the
council soon in relation to this matter of
repatrs and the customary thirty days'
notice will be given. In case repairs ore
not msdc within the time limit the city
aill do the work and then endesvor to col
lect the coFt from tbe school district.
M ore Cars Ordered.
Local packers have Just filed an order
for a large number of refrigerator cars.
There has been a scarcity of cars for the
carrying of packing bouse products for
some time and tbe shortage has caused an
order to be sent to St. Louis for the im
mediate construction of 1.000 cars. Cudaby
and Salft are the purchasers. At the
present time Armour has plenty of cars.
but the other packers are short. The cars
ordered are to be delivered as soon as
possible. Each car corts about tl.ftf and
pays for itself in three yeara. The life of
a refrigerator car is rated at seven years,
so that the earnings for four years are
clear profit to the oa ners.

Tradeary f the Times.
The tendency of medical science is to
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being gives ta
the subject. It is raster and better to
prevent than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend witsv-can be prevented Ity
the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia alasys results from a cold or
from an attack of infiuenza (grp), and it
has been observed that this remedy coun
teracts any tendency of these diseases
toward pDeumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands cf cases in
which this remedy has been -used during
tbe great prevalence of colds and grip
In recent years, and can be relied upon
with Implicit confident. Pneumonia often
results from a slight oold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever snd difficulty
in bresthing and pains in the rhest, then
it is announced that the patient has pneu
monia. Be on tbe safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. It always cures.
