With this aim In view It has been de cided to Increase the dues of all members of the order and raise the Initiation fees, The surplus funds derived from these In creases will be set aside for the new build ing fund during the ensuing year and a site will be bought when the amount col lected from the Increased dues warrant such action. It has long been the ambition of the knights to own their own lodge' building and club house, as Is done by other lodges of the organisation In eastern and several western cities, some of which are smaller than the Omaha lodge.

GARBAGE PLANT FOR OMAHA Concern Will Be Created by T. B. IffcThsr un if Lid is ioseptei ACTION WITHIIN NINETY DAY?, Hi SAYS If Plana Are Carried Oat Animal nil Vegetable Refuse Will Be Moved Away Free of Charge, T. B. McPlicrson, South Omaha capital 1st, Wednesday morning announced he and other business men would erect a garbage plant near Omaha within the next ninety days If the bid received Tuesday evening by the city council will be accepted and contract made with the city of Omaha. In view of the fact that Mr. Mcpherson s bid waa the only one received and that the bidder agrees to live up to the specifi cations prepared by Health .Commissionei Connell, it la confidently believed Mr. Mc- Pherson and his associates In this enter prise will be awarded the contract. Mr. Mcpherson would not say Just what dls position win be inude of the garbage iiouia ne receive the contract, but the rumor Is that the garbage will be reduced and part of It sold for fertiliser, the oils to te used for commercial purposes.

Removal Free of Charge. If this contract la awarded It will mean that all animal and vegetable garbage In Omaha will be removed free of charge, every day In the business section, twice a week In the residence sections dur ing the spring and summer and once a week from residences during ;he cool period of the year. This will necessitate all oltl sena separating that part of garbage classed aa animal and vegetable refuse from ashes, cans and such material, the latter class of garbage not coming under this bid or Included In Mr. Connell's speci fications. It is obvious that there is enough ..u......riM.i products in the animal and vegetable garbage to warrant rentln . plant and collecting the material free. in event of this contract being awarded by the city council to the South Omaha men. Health Commissioner Connell will then prepare ordinances to provide for the separation and care of garbage by resi dents. Mr. Connell believes this contract will save cltlxena a total of $75,000 a year, although this estimate has been declared high. Mr. McPherson, through Guy L. Ax tell, who signed the bid, asked for a con tract to run from fifteen to twenty years. The proposed garbage plant will cost be tween $30,000 and $40,000. City officials gen erally believe this Magic City proposition, If accepted, will mark a new epoch Id Omaha's garbage situation.

April 24-As a re sult of the Investigation by the legislative commission Into the expenditure of $9,000,000 for furnishings and decorations for the new stale capltol, It Is probable that criminal proceedings will be instituted by the state against certain persons who have promi nently figured In the Investigation. The commission has been investigating the charges of extravagance, over charges, duplication In payments of bills and fraud for nearly two months, and has yet to take the testimony of many Important per sons who have knowledge of the eubject under Investigation. Among those to be examined Is former Governor Pennypacker. Whether civil suits can be brought has not been determined, but members of the commission are convinced that It has been domonstrated that the charges upon which criminal action can be brought are as fol lows: Substitution of Inferior materials In vio lation of specifications. Overchai glng the state for materials, the value of whicn It waa stipulated was to be fixed by the market price, as well as charg ing the same prices for articles which were by uo means what they were represented to be.
