CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Oratory Engendered ty an Application
from Cndahy Company.
EXTENSION OF AREAWAY STARTS TALK
Rraolntlon Lost, bat Recovered and
Adopted After Hard Work on
Part of Artlna Mayor
1. 1mm an.
A resolution proposing to authorise the
Cudahy Packing company to construct an
areaway ten feet In the street In order to
secure a driveway down the side and to th
rear of a new building at Fourteenth and
Jones streets caused more language to flow
at the city council meeting last night than
any other piece of business. After being
lost the resolution was reconsidered and
adopted by dint of a speech by Acting
Mayor Zlmmnn, who came down on the
floor of the council chamber to tirge the
necessity of the matter. Mr. Zimman
nmong other things, said that "ordinances
should be enforced as far as possible, but
the council should use Judgment, particu
larly In matters affecting the Improvement
of the city."
Councilman Hoye opposed the resolution
because It conflicts with nn ordinance say
lug areaways shall not extend more than
four feet and he was ngainst trying to
supersede an ordinance with a resolution.
Attorney Breen backed him up, raying the
city had already enough damage suits to
defend on account of unprotected area
ways. Wilbur Sears, speaking for the
packing company, assured the council that
a graduated Incline would be run down the
area for teams and that the company Is
willing to guarantee protection to the city
against accidents of any kind, as the work
will be done properly.
Snow Ordinance Killed.
Councilman Hoye made a gallant light to
get his ordinance compelling the street rail
way company to level off snow thrown In
ridges off Its tracks by sweepers, but failed
to muster sufficient votes to do so. He had
the ordinance taken from the files, where it
was consigned during his absence from a
council meeting, but that was aa far as it
got. Regarding his ordinance designed to
get poles out of the middle of sidewalks he
said It has accomplished Its effect and the
offending poles had been moved In Vinton
street.
P. J. CreeMon & Sons went In a letter
protesting bitterly against the proposed
award of the contract for the new engine
house at Twenty-fourthand Cuming streets
to N. J. Hildlng for 118.3R9. The firm
claimed to be $29 lower In Its bid by reason
of the fact that its bond will cost only S0
Instead of 1183. as at Unit supposed. The
bid directed $1 to be added for every $100
to pay for the bond, but it was discovered
later that this was overestimated. As the
bids had been Inspected by the legal &e-
partment. Attorney Breen waa asked for
advice and recommended against approv
ing the contract until the bonds for the
house had been sold. He said it was unwise
to make the contract before this was done.
The matter, was therefore referred to a
committee. An ordinance authorizing a
$25,000 bond Issue for the construction was
Introduced and read the first and second
times. These bonds have been authorized
by popular vote.
Relrhardt Applies for Place.
Emil Relchardt, retired bandmaster, U.
S. A., sent this communication, which was
placed on die:
I have the honor to make application for
the pc1tlnn of councilman of the Seventh
ward In place of Hon. R. W. Dyball, de

ance with the people of Omaha' and the
needs of this city fit me for the position
to . which I aspire.
Orders were given for the Installation of
a new arc lamp at Twenty-second and
IToward streets and for the Board of Pub
lic Works to construct by day labor an
18-Inch sewer on Thirty-fourth street to
Hamilton.
The ordinance proposing to donate Chi-
cago street between Eleventh and Twelfth
and the alley north to the Omaha Bridge
& Terminal company without the appoint
ment of appraisers was Introduced and read
the first and second times.
A resolution to give the building de
partment an additional inspector at $75 a
month waa lost.
thl- point there Is a steep embarkment and
had the train left the track there is no
telling what the result would have been.
The train was delayed about an hour by
the mishap.

A OOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
Abont "Blood Pnrlflers" and "Tonics.''
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed in
but one way, and that ia, from wholesome
food properly digested. There ia no other
way and the idea that a medicine In itself
can purify the blood or supply new tissues
and atrong nerves la ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or
indigestion is a germ disease, or that other
fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses
to digest food can be made to do so by
irritating and Inflaming the bowela by
pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indiges
tion, aour stomach, gaa and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the digestive
principles which weak stomachs lack, and,
unlesa the deficiency of pepein and diastase
ia supplied, it la useless to attempt to cure
stomach trouble by the use of "tonhs,"
"pills" and "cathartica" whlcn have abso
lutely no digestive power, and their only ef
fect Is to give a temporary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle In Stu
art's Dyapepsia Tauleta will digest 3,000
grains of meat, eggs and similar toods, and
experiments have shown that they will do
this in a glass octtle at proper temperature
but of course are much more effective In
the stomach.
There is protably no remedy so univer
sally used as Stuart's Tablets be
cause It ia not only the alck and ailing,
but well people who use them at every
meal to Insure perfect digestion and assim
ilation of food. v
People who enjoy fair healtth take Stu
art'a Tabids as regularly aa they take
their meals, because they want to keep well
prevention la better than cure, and Stu
art's Dyapepsia Tablets do both; they
prevent Indigestion and they remove It
where It exists. The regular use of one or
two of them after meala will demonstrate
their merit and efficiency better than any
other argument.

REFERENDUM TAKEN BY COMMERCIAL CLUB
.ocnl Sentiment Slightly F'aTors
Klshbnck Bill, bat is Ovemhelm
inuly Against the Sheldon
Measure or Modification.
An Invaluable aid to
Speakers and Slngersm
The business men of Omaha favor the
Kishback bill, which was introduced at
Lincoln for the purpose of forcing the Ne
braska, Telephone company to connect with
he Independent wires when they are
brought to the city limits and to deliver
the independent messages within the city
on a pro rata basis equal to une-fourth of
he toll. Tha business men of this city,
however, do not favor having two telephone
systems here and do not favor the Sheldon
bill, which would ullow the Independent
companies to establish booths In this city,
though not to enter houses. These opinions
re the result of a postal card vote taken
by the commercial club. The result on
the FUhback bill Is 203 in favor and 147
gainst that measure; for tho Sheldon bill,
38 for and 290 against, and on the proposi
tion of two systems in the city, 47 for and
29 against.
Die Douglas county delegation at Lin-
oln some time ago asked the Commercial
lub for some information as to the de
sire of the Omaha buhlnews men on these
ueetions, and two weeks ago representa
tives of the Nebraska Telephone company
and of the independent lines appeared be
fore the executive committee of the club
arid presented arguments for and against
any change. To learn the opinion of a
large and representative portion of the
business Interests a circular card was sent
out asking for an expression of preference.
The intention of the Fishbuck bill ia to
provide for an Interchange of business and !
the gain would bo all on the side of the in
dependent companies. The objection on tho
part of the Nebraska Telephone company is
that tho Fishback bill makes an Infringe
ment on private rights and a confiscation
of private property; that It has at large ex
pense built up ajid developed an extensive
business and that Its Omaha terminals are
expensive to maintain and heavily taxed,
and that to divide Its business with a com
petitor would reduce Its earnings.

about your work with the old-tlmi: vim and spirit. Kaxlly tired. Your rest is
disturbed, digestion poor. J4ave headaches now and again, and pains in back and
loins. If a woman, your monthly visits are painful, delayed or suppressed, and vun
have other female ills. Sometimes you even faint. It's hard to go up stairs. You
don't understand your condition, nor realise your danger. The plain, simple truth ia

nervous and hysterical. I lost my appetite and It seemed Impossible for me to obtain
a goodnight' rest. 1 lost flesh, lierame emaciated, hollow eyed and suffered with
fegiienl heart palpitations. My complexion became sallow and muddy, and 1 had a
haggard expression. I felt as though life had lost Its charm and I did not care to live.
Warner's Safe Cure changed all this. It came as a bless, ng to my home.
"1 felt better as soon as 1 started to use It, and within a month 1 waa like
another woman. New life, health and vigor returned to me, and a new light and
happiness came to my life. Your medicine did all this for me, and Is certainly
worthy of great praise."
