It developed that Funkhouser has a pre ferred candidate for health commissioner. This Is J. Solon R. Towne. Also that Dr. , Dan Let has many friends among the councllmcn; that Councilman Davis, who Is a physician, favors a young man for the Job .and,' that open objections were voiced against Dr. Connell on the grounds both that 'he . is a "homeopath" and "Incompe tent" In the opinion of Mr. Funkhouser. Of Dr,f B. A. McDermott the statement was .triads that It has only been about nine months alnce he returned to Omaha after several years' absence. To back up his theory that the commissioner should be a young1 man Dr. Davis said that the younger physicians are more thoroughly In structed In the latest developments of science: He held up as an example how the theory of yellow fever Infection by stegoymla mosquitoes has been propagated only within the Inst few years, i .:,.-'.-Looks J, Ike Mlehaelaen. ... -., When It cafhe to .considering vthe city electrician's Jo.h it was Opined -that tha mayor, would J&robably ieuttn., Waldohian, "On what grounds?" demanded a rock ribbed follower of f Jefferson. ' v -necouso na i a . republican," replied a war, and there was a big laugh.' Chief among the obstacles encountered In planning to turn down the r-lty engineer was the efcoica of another man to "fill the place. Apparently no one had thought of thla or was prepared to suggest a candi date. .--. Charges made against Rosewater Included some by Elsasser alleging faulty eewer constructlon and some by Bridges accusing the engineer of recommend'ng a contract for Inferior repair asphalt for 1908.- Bridges said he had pbtslned hla Information front a man named ".'Gene.1', The asphalt he complained about waa .that supplied by John Grant, It being what Is known ; aa California, asphalt. Grant bid the lowest In ripen competition and .waa awarded the contract for the season's, supply. Bridges said the price was $22.60 , a ton. Ho said he had gone tj " 'Gene" and asked the latter If the asphalt received was of a uni form quality:, that 'Gene" had confessed reluctantly (though he hated to say any thing about It, being an engineering -department employe); that ."one car-might be good and . tnt neat one . pot." ; Further, that "no ore could ..teU what kind, of a patch It. wia going .to .make on the street."

The other members were sure they hadn't done anything of the kind. Fifteen minutes were used up In debating the subject. Then all confessed they didn't' really know and begged one another's, pardon. Funkhouser said he wouldn't vote for Tom Flyon for street commissioner or John C. Lynch for gas Inspector. But the argument on .these did not become acute, for Funkhouser seid the offices created by charter would not be passed upon by the mayor at the meeting tonight. Exhibition of Party Kolfe.

PANAMA QUESTION UP FOR DISCUSSION Propositi , to j Allow Fare-base-applies 1 Abroad Provokes of , Kaiended. !)- " bat. ,: ' t WASHINGTON. May The senate to day sent the, railroad rate bill to confer ence, listened to a long defense by Sen ator Kittredge on a sea-level canal and three democratic speeches on the resolu tion relating to the purchase of canal supplies In foreign markets and devoted the remainder of the time to the post- offlce appropriation bU. No objection Was made to the appoint ment of the banking members of tin- interstate commerce committee as con ferees on the rate bill and they were not Instructed In any manner. They are 8en- ators Klklns, Cull'om and Hitman. Consideration of the Panama supply resolution waa Interfered with by the canal type bill, which was laid before th aenate at I o'clptk aa the unfinished busi ness. Senator Klttredge's speech was the first on this subject and was listened to with great Interest. ' . The postoflloe appropriation bill was read, partially for committee amendments. The message, from the house asking for conference on the railroad rate bill waa laid before the senate today by Vice President Fairbanks. Senator Tillman, who had charge oT the measure during, Its troubled course through the senate, movad that the request be granted and conferees appointed by the chair. Senator Bailey protested against a, provision In what js known aa the coal amendment, which pro vision excepted lumber and manufactured products thereof. He said he was out of the chamber when the amendment was adopted and although he knew It had been offered he had thought It defeated. The conference asked was agreed to and the vice president named Senators Elklua,. Cnllom and Tillman aa .jonfereea on the part of the senate,,. t , ... Panama Parrhase Resolution. The Joint resolution authorizing. .the. pur chase of articles for the Panama canal to be United States production, unless the prices are extortionate and unreasonable In the .opinion of the president, waa call-d up In the senate today by Senator Hale. Senator Rayner spoke In opposition to the resolution Jn behalf of the Maryland Steel company;- which wants to .furnish two su?l dredges which Secretary Taft pro poses, to save money, on by ..buying In Scotland. Senator Rayner, while opposing thla particular, measure, reiterated, his be. lief In the democratic principle of buying. In the cheapest .market anywhere in the world. .'.' "in this article," continued Mr. Rafner. "It .Is- stated that $n0O,0CO.0U will h ex pended .-In. the construction of the . canal and Its equipment. "The effect of this resolution will be that -perhaps t2nO.Oon,Ooo will be wrung as a tribute from the people to Increase the profits of our protected Industries. Thla resolution closes to the government of '. the ,V"nlted States every market In the -world-except the home mar ket. In connection with these enormous ex penses. We do not know how the president stands ln'relatlnn to this matter. It has been, claimed aU Along that, he was I rt favor Of purchasing- th material and equipment for Jhe fanat oi;her things being? eouaV'Jn the 'market where they could lie purchased the cheapest. Jt Is Earnestly lipped ...that he "has hot CHanged ills mind In reference to this -matter a ad thaf he Is not no-V' either tacitly' or by active 'participation, lending his aid to the passage of this resolution "The bond between the protected bene ficiaries and the' treasury of the United States should long -since have expired bv limitation. This Is a renewal In a new form of this unholy combination. It is in the Interest of the American Frotecfh-e Tariff league, which,, notwithstanding the respectable membership that composes it, represents every monopoly upon the Ameri can continent that Is plundering the hornet of tha American people." Meraaa Criticises Roosevelt. Senator Morgan discussed laws put In force by the president for the government of the canal gone, which he declared to be an . abuse of power. No member of con gress would dare to Introduce such laws. he said. He mentioned aa an instance the provision permitting the governor to banlah undesirable persons. This law, he said. waa absolutely necessary to good govern ment, and the canal son could not bo con trolled without It. Tet, he said, the presl dent had exceeded his authority. He said that two years' experience had developed the fact that the canal never can be built under existing law. The affairs of the lone he said, had been placed In the hands of men who have no boundaries of power. ' . Senator Mallory offered an amendment to the resolution to strike out the word "extortionate, "ao that foods could be pur chased .abroad if American prices were tin reasonable. Senator Stone,, favored the amendment and spoke in opposition to the resolution. ' ' The Missouri senator waa compelled to aurrender the floor at t p. m. and will con elude hla Speech at aaother time.. Senator ' Morgan offered an amendment htaklng the' canal aone a military reserva tlon ana providing that all of "the Income of the aone should be set apart for the benefit of tbe aone, to be administered for that purpose without having to be con verted into the treasury of. the United States. Thi amendment provided -for the payment ot a duty of 10 per cent advalorem on all goods Imported to the rfanul aone from territory not controlled by .the United Statee. The resolution went over till to morrow. FILIBISTEH THK HOI SK Desaoerata laalst I poo Preseaee (tooroa to Traasaet Baslaeaa.

I Bread dyspepsia Is common. It affectr the bowels because white bread la nearly all starch, and starch Is digested in the Intestines., not in the stomach proper. Vp under the shell of the wheat berry Nature has provided a curious deposit which is turned into diastase when It Is subjected to the saliva and to the pan creatic Juices In the human intestines. This diastase Is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn It into grape-sugar. which .la the next form; but that part of the wheat berry , makes dark Hour, and the modern miller. cannot readily aell dark flour, ho nature's valuable digester is thrown out and the human system must handle tine, starch as best It can, without the heip j hat' Nature Intended. Small wonder that appendkitia, peri tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of trouble exist when we go so contrary' to Nature's laty. T(ie food experts that per fected Grate-Nuts Food, knowing these facts, made use in their experiments of the entire wheat and barley, Including all the parts, and subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth, 'which allows time and the proper conditions for devel oping the diastase, outside of the human! body. In this way the starchy part Is trans formed Jnto grape-sugar In a perfectly natural manner, without the use of chem lcala or any . outside ingredients. The lit tle sparkling crystals of grape-sugar cin be seen on the piece's of Grape-Nuts. This food therefore U naturally jre-dlgested and Its use in place of bread mill quickly correct .the troubles that have been brought about by the too free use of siari'h in the food, and that ia very com mon Ln the h'lman race today. The effects of rating Grape-Nuts ten days or two aerks and the discontinuance of ordinary white bread. Is very marked. Tha user will gain rapidly In strength and ph.vsicsl and mental health, .
