After going into the matter In detail nl
reviewing the contract from t lie dale of

30Dcludea aa follows:
Tha contract provide that the city will
reimburse the stock yards one-half of Its
tiutlay for construction, either by cash or
bonds, aa the purties may agree upon. anJ
shall repay the outlay when railed upon
by the stuck yards company. We are of
lh view that this contract Is of the kind
nd character which a court might require
to be specifically performed, or might com
iwl the performance of nv other acoro-
prlate proceedings. Of course, the court
might take the view (hat an adequate rem
edy existed at law. and that the city might
lie remitted to an action In damages for
It breach. Be that as It may, before thn
city could InslHt upon the stock yards com
pany performing its part It would have to
In a position to perform that part of
the contract binding upon It. That is to
nay. eithtir have the cash or be in a posi
tion to Issue the bonds to reimburse the
Htork yards one-half when the construe,
tloa s completed; and. of course, would
have to provide the rash or bonds to relm
bursa It for one-half the outlay, if any,
during the period of maintenance. We be

that the stock yards company shall have

An effort is being made oy ma memuvia
of the local Young Men s I'linsuan asso
ciation to raise by subscription U.Dut)
within seven days. This money is to be
used to fit up new and more commodious
quarters for the association at 413 North
Twenty-fourth stteet and to construct a
gymnasium. About sixty members of the
association and busines men have pledged
themselves to push the proposition. In this
work the association will have the hearty
support of State Secretary J. P. Bailey.
In connection with the plan of raising
funds a mass meeting of men and women
Is to be held at the First Methodist Epis
copal church on Sunday at 3 30 p. m. Sec
retary Bailey and others will speak. No
subscriptions wi:i be taken at this Sunday
afternoon meeting. The result of the can
vass will be made known on Thanksgiving
evening.
For a long time Local Secretary Marsh
baa been calling the attention of 6outh
Omaha people to the necessity for secur
ing more room. The membership la grow
ing rapidly and the gymnasium classes are
full. With a portion of the money to be
raised a building pix".u feet Is to be erected
In the rear of 413 North Twenty-fourth
Street for gymnasium purposes. When
more commodious cuarters are secured It
Is thought there will be no difficulty in
securing a large increaac in the member

General Manager Vance I.ane of the
Nebraska Telephone company suid Friday
that no effort would be made by the com
pany to place cables In the conduits this
year. "We have only recently completed,
our conduit system In South Omalii." said
Mr. Lane, "and as the season i so late
now we do not deem It advisable to start
pulling the cables through the conduits.
There has been some delay In getting the
cables needed and the officers of the coin-J
pany have decided that by spring all of
the material needed will be on hand and
that we can then proceed with the con
struction of our building at Twenty-fourth
and K streets and at the same time run
the cables Into tho new building."
This means that the telephone poles
elong Twenty-fourth street and on other
streets where conduits have been laid will
stand until next spring.

WOMAN PKKAC'HEK.
A Practical Doctrine.
"My home was broken up some time
ago." writes a venerable lady from Ohio,
"and I spend my life going about, visit
ing my children.
"But wherever I go I take my Postum
pot and a supply of the food coffee along
with me. I cannot take the risk of being
without it, for 1 firmly believe that were
It not for Postum Food Coffee I would
not be living today.
"I began to use It 4 years ago. For
several years prior to that time I was a
great sufferer from stomach and heart
trouble and headache. I consulted the best
medical talent, but medicine did me no
good, and my condition seemed to grow
' worse Instead of improving, till I was
! practically given over as a confirmed
I Invalid.
I "Finally a doctor suggested that I stop
'coffee drinking, and although I was loth
I to do so, I complied. I was visiting my
J son-in-law In Ottawa, at the time. He
'. was a Postum drinker, and at his urgent
recommendation i began Its use. It did
not appeal to me at first, but I found that
this was because It was not boiled long
enough. When it was made right I rel
ished it.
"In due time, after the coffee effects
had passed out of my system so that
Postum could do its work. I began to get
better in e.very symptom. My stomach
ceased to trouhle me, and digestion be
came normal. My heart action was re.
stored to a healthy status, tha headaches
and nervousness became less frequent and
severe, and at last ceased altogether, and
now I am well and strong, aa few persons
are at iny advanced age.
"Be sure that ' I preach the Gospel of
Postum everywhere to those I meet. I
have converted many, especially my own
children and grandchildren, who have all
been made healthier, livelier and heart
ier by the ue of IVistum." Name given
bv Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

The Burlington has announced several
Important changes In the time card for
the running of trains west of the river.
The most important one, affecting the peo
ple of Omaha, Is that of No. 6, which
formerly left Omaha at 8:60 each morning

permit lawyers from Omaha to reach Lin
coln In better time to appear before the
supreme court. These changes are all to
be effective on and after December 3.
Passengers from the Black Hills and In
termediate points will reach Omaha at t
o'clock in the afternoon instead of 6
o'clock, as formerly. This will give pas
sengers going on east five hours In Omaha
and passengers who wish to return the
same day will have eight hours In Omaha.
