that the company will build at once.

The Crowell company is a wealthy firm,
with elevators at various points along the
Northwestern In northern Nebraska and
offices and terminal elevator at Blair. Mr.
Crowell did not dlselone his plans when
making the purchase nnd did not say how
large a building he would erect. Judging
from the volume of business done by the
firm, It (wlll be a structure of sufllctent
alie and capacity to make it an Important
factor tn the local grain situation. Mr.
Crowell did nay he expected to begin work
at once.
Compelled to Come Here.
It has been the prediction of Omaha grain
men that the reduction in railroad rates
secured by the Omaha Grain exchange
would Induce nil companies of any con
sequence doing business In Nebraska to
make Omaha their terminal point. Al
though new elevators have been located
here since the establishment of the ex
change, they have been projected by people
who already had Omaha Interests. The
Crowell company Is the first absolutely
outsldA company to announce Ita Intention
of having an Omnha terminal.
"We simply had to come In," Mr. Crowell
Is quoted as saying
way if we wanted to do business to the
best advantage. I believe the other com
panies eventually will have to build ele
vators In Omaha.''
There has long been a rumor that the
Nye-Schnelder-Fowler company of Fre
mont la to come Into the city, but the re
port has been denied at the headquarter!

bers of tne grain exchange that the Fre

City Council Listens to Oatllae of
Plaa and Practically Agrees to
Great Favors Requested
by ftevr Company.
One of the features of the meeting of
the city council last night was tha re
quest from M. C. Peters of Omaha for
privilege to lay railroad tracks on Twenty
ninth street, from B to F streets. Mr.
Peters addressed the council In his own
behalf and explained what he wanted rail
road tracks for. He said that he had se
cured options on blocks 6, 18 and IS In the
northern part of the city, and desired to
erect a large mill for grinding cattle and
horse food. In case the city consents to
allow a track laid on Twenty-ninth street
and will vacate B and C streets across
Twenty-ninth street, he thinks that it will
not take long to get a start on his mill.
Oolna into details Mr. Peters said that
the plans provide for a mill having a ca
paclty of 120.W0 pounds of stock food I
day. This capacity will be increased as
conditions warrant. "The only thing," de
clared Mr. Peters, "to put my plans In op
eration Is the guarantee that my company
will be assured of trackage and connec
tions with the Burlington and Cnion Ta
clflc railroads." Continuing, Mr. Peters
said that at this time tracks might not
ba laid as far south as F street, but he
wished that privilege If his business war
ranted It. He bIbo requested that the coun
cil take some action to locate fire hydrants
in the vicinity of his proposed mill.
J. E. Kelby of the Burlington spoke next.
He said that there is a constant demana
for more trackage ,ln South Omaha. "All
that 1b needed," asserted Mr. Kelby, "to
make South Omaha the home of numerous
mills and factories Is sufficient trackage.
He then declared that if .permission Is
given Mr. Peters for a track on Twenty
ninth street as far south as F street other
mills will be built before a great while.
Mention was made of a flour mill to ba
erected along this proposed tracKage in
case the city council did not oppose the
measure. "All tnat we nave io uo iu imun

The Island of Cuba, which promises to
be one of our Insular possessions one of
these days, has got a well deserved repu
tation throughout the entire world for the
production of delicious tobacco. Heavy
dews at night; tropical flowers In such
profusion produce conditions that are no
where else apparent. Each locality of the
Island raises tobacco with Its own peculiar
quality.
There never has been a segar manufac
turer In the United States, who had the
courage to declare that he was using any
certain grade of Havana Tobacco except
the McConnell Segar Company of Indlan
apolias, Ind. They make a segar called
Sir Jonathan that they sell under a bona
fide guarantee to be a strictly imported
Yara Havana filler. The factory has made
this one segar for thirteen years. It cer
tainly is a delightful and fragrant segar.

WATER RATES MAY BE CUT
fiednotion Ordered by Board on Heels of
Manger's Decision.
COURT RULES AGAINST THE COMPANY
Water Board Also Provides for At
torney at tnllmlted Salary-
Carl Wright Mentioned
as the Man.
Upon learning that the federal court or
der restraining the cutting ot water rates
had been formally dissolved, members ot
the water board met at the city hall yes
terday and Isrued an order directing that
the maximum charge per 1,000 gallons for
water furnished In quantities of 2,000 gal
lon a day or less be reduced 10 cents, or
from 35 to 25 cents. The flat rates were not
disturbed end It Is understood they will
not be. The document mailing the cut Is
designated as "order No. 1" and Is to take
effect Immediately. The new maximum
rates are declared reasonable and are as
follows;
Rate per
Gallons per Day. l.OuO Gallons.
2,000 or less $ .25
2.0011 to 4, OH) 20
4.000 to 16,500 15
16.600 to 25,000 12V4
Over 25,000 .10
This proviso Is Inserted for very small
consumers so that the water compnny can
get sufficient compensation to cover the
reading of meters:
The maximum meter rate for 2.000 gallons
or less per month shall be 35 cents per 1.0U0
fallons, provided, however, that no charge
or 2.0u) gallons or less per month shall ex
ceed the sum of 50 cents.
Under the old ordinance fixing the
maximum meter rates the charges were
named as follows:
Rate per
Gallons per Day. 1,000 Gallons.
100 to 500 33
5ii0 to 1.000 3)
l.OiiO to 2.0H0 r,
2,000 to 4.000 20
Over 4,000 15
Only Small Ones AOected.
"The reduction will affect the small con
sumers only," said Secretary Koenlg. "It
will mean a total percentage of reduction ,
on meter rates of from 7 to 10 per cent. , It
Is not considered good policy to lower the
flat rates as it has been shown In other
cities that the use of meters prevents
waste and enables water to be delivered at
less cost and correspondingly lower meter
rates, than upon the old flat-rate, wasteful
plan."

Statement by Futrfleld.
General Manager Fairfield of the water
company said:
I cannot say positively that the com
pany will resist the reduction in rates, but
think It will. The cut affects practically
every private residence In the city and will
make a considerable difference In receipts.
am quite confident the reduction can be (
knocked out on the ground that It is un- J
reasonable, for I believe we can show it Is.
The action In the federal court will not j
be pressed further. The fight probably will
be continued along tho lines that the rates ,
are unreasonable."

Issued Dissolving; the
porary Injunction.
Judge Munger Monday morning Issued nn
order In the United States circuit court
dismissing, without prejudice, the case of
the Omaha Water company against tho
Omaha Water board.
The water company secured a temporary
Injunction from the court several weeks
ago, restraining tne water Doara rrom
making a 26 per cent reduction In the water
rates, as It was understood by the water
company the water board contemplated
doing. The members of the water board
filed affidavits In answer to the contention
of the water company that they had not
definitely decided to reduce the rates 25
per cent, or any other sum, but that they
were merely considering the expediency of
so doing, nence neia mere was notning
for the court to enjoin.
The case was argued before the court,
J. M. Woolworth and R. S. Hall appear
ing for the water company and C. C.
Wright and J. L,. Webster for the water
board. The contention of the water board
wits that it had the right to reduce the
rates If it was thought necessury to do
so, and cited numerous authorities in sup
port of that contention.
The water company, on the other hand,
maintained that the rates were Irrevocably
fixed at the original granting ot the fran
chise of the water company by .the city
council by ordinance.
The matter was taken under advisement
by Judge Munger and he partly decided
the city council did not make an Irrevocable
contract, and that It was within the prov
ince of the council or water board to re
duce the rates.
In view of the probable nature' of the
decision being favorable to the water
board and the city, the water compnny
conceded therefore to a dismissal of the
case without prejudice, and an order to
that effect was issued.

COLE RETURNS FROM EAST
KrusT Park Manager Goes to Secure
New Attractions for His
Place.
W. W. Cole, manager of Krug park, has
returned from his annual trip to New
York, where he went to look for new at
tractions and new ideas for his park. lie
was more than enthusiastic over the suc
cess of Skip Du.vly's new hippodrome and
said that Its beauty was beyond realization.
The seats have all been sold for the next
four weeks and many of the tickets are In
the hands of speculators, who are reaping
a harvest.' This popularity of the hippo
drome Is draining the down town theater
and Newllork managers sre hoping that
the rush will soon stop to give them
a chance. If the reaction sets In and the
novelty wears off they predict that the
hippodrome will not do so well. While In
the east Mr. Cole secured an added at
traction for the park, which, he says, will
cost one-fourth more than the roller coaster
and be more popular.
A special agent -was sent to Europe by
Mr. Cole to secure new pictures for the
moving picture machine, and he thinks
that the result of this trip will be pleasing
to the patrons of the park.

Every worn an covetg a
shapely, pretty figure, and
many of them deplore the
loss of their eirlish forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children is often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
All of this can be avoided,
however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this
great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and
preserves the symmetry of her form. Mother' Priend overcomes all the
danger of child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through
this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.
