HEARING ON ASSESSMENTS COMES NEXT Contractor tar It Will Hrqalre Absat Two Month to Complete Arrangements for ConnraeUa Active Work on Dltehea. The Boards of Supervisors of Pottawat tamie and Harrison counties in Joint session yesterday afternoon signed up the con tracts with the Western Dredging com pany of Omaha and Pollard, Ooft St Co. tember by Brown & Co. of Huntington, Ind., the former contractors. The contract with the Western Dredging company Is for the construction of three ditches, known as the Willow creek, Boyer river cut-off No. 1 and Boyer river cut-off No. 2. The total amount of the contract Is estimated at $K5.:44. The firm gave a bond In the sum of 13,33). Pollard.'Goff & Co. has the contract for the construction of the Allen creek ditch, i old one, and U Is said that the residents which it is estimated will cost $12.12. The : In the neighborhood huve frequently ex bond furnished by the company was In the pressed the opinion that It should be torn sum of 110,532. According to the original contracts as awarded last September, the construction of the Willow creek ditch was to be com pleted by November 1, 19o8, and the same date waa set for the completion of the Allen creek ditch. The Boyer river cut-off ditch No. 1 was to be completed by Sep- evidence has been secured here, it Is be tember 1, 1906. In view of the delay caused Heved, to substantiate the claim of Mrs. by the Injunction secured by R. A. Brown Louisa T. Brown, formerly of this city, but te h, 3 Co., the contractors. It was stated at yesterday meeting, will be entitled to an extension of time In which to complete their contract, and this It la understood will be determined before the boards ad journ today. 1 The queatlon of issuing the bonds neces sary to defray tho cat of the work was discussed informally yesterday afternoon, but it was decided that there was no great hurry as far aa this was concerned, as nothing could be done In this direction until It was definitely ascertained what the total assessment against benefited prop erty owners would be. It Is estimated that i the cost of the construction of the ditches, ; together with other expenses, will amount to about 1235.000. All the expenses Incurred two years ago will be paid out of this issue of bonds and taxed up against the property benefited. Two years ago $2C0 of the bond issue was sold before the drainage law was declared defective and the pur chasers will be repaid out of the new bond Issue. It was decided to keep up the Joint or ganization of the two boards with H. C. Brandes of the Pottawattamie county board as chairman and the auditors of the two counties as secretaries. Beth Dean, engineer In charge of con struction o the work, was allowed a first estimate of $560, of which I25 Is to ba paid by Harrison county and 1225 by Pottawat tamie county, out bf the first funds avail able. Attorney W. H. Ktllpack, who was retained, to assist County Attorney Hess in the litigation caused by Brown St Co., was allowed 398.40 for his services in the case before the supreme court. The boards adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. J. 8. Pollard of the Firm of Potlkrd, Ooff St Co., stated that It would take from fifty to seventy d.v to get machine.-y on I the ground and rcfors they would be able to begin work. The dredging machines have to be brought from the eat and the-boats on which to operate thein must be built. The Wertern Dredlng com pany, being nearer at home, will probably be able to commence its part of the work sooner. It is figured that the construction of the four ditches will take from ten months to a year to complete. I Preacher to Boost Y. M. ('. a.

Whltmore. bound over to the grand Jury on the charge of assaulting wlth Intent to rob Ole and Jim Jensen in the Northwestern railroad yards, was re leased yesterday from the county Jail on a bond In the sum of MfM) furnished by B. P. Wlckham. There is a second charge pending against Whltmore, that of break ing Into a Rock Island freight car and stealing an eighty-gallon keg of port wine. Learning that Whltmore was likely to give ball on the other charge, the police were prepared with a warrant for Whltniore's rearrest on the second charge, and It was placed in the hands of the sheriff's force. Assistant County Attorney Ross, however, ordered that Whltmore be released and no attempt be made to rearrest him on the other warrant. This was entirely contrary to the wishes of Chief of Police Richmond and he has tened to the court house to Investigate, but Whltmore had been let loose in the meantime. Chief Richmond, after a fur- ther conference today with the county au- thorltles. will decide what steps he will take In the matter. He expressed himself as much surprised at the action of the assistant county attorney in allowing Whit- more out on such a small bond In vlw of the gravity of the charges against him.

One can eat for two, but nour ishing two is a different thing. It calls for a de gree of internal strength that the average woman lacks. People of luxury are not very strong by habit; overworked people are weak in some func tions from exhaustion or' their surroundings. Scott's Emulsion can be depend ed upon to overcome such conditions. It is a won derful food for a mother and child.
