Mayor Macrae expressed himself ns well
satisfied with the schedule and evidenced
this by losing no time in attaching his of
ficial signature to the ordinance, He said
yesterday: "While It Is well known that I
was In favor of municipal ownership and
still am ao today, provided It could be ac
complished, I am firmly of the opinion that
the new ache'aule adopted by the city coun

and to the water works company. The
water worka company la properly entitled
to a certain revenue and I believe tinder
this achedule It will be able to obtain It.
The man who heretofore has been get
ting his water for n mere nothing may
under this schedule have to pay more, but
It will not be more than what la reason
able. People appear to forget that they
should pay something for the privilege and
advantage of having water brought to their
door. This costs money and tho person
taking advantage of thin privilege should
bo willing to pay his proportion.

DATE BET FOR THE JONES HEARING
Commission to Take I'p the Charges
Frldny MornlnK.
At a meeting .of the Fire and Police com
mission last night It wh decided to hear
tho charges filed against Robert W. Jones,
chief of the Are department, by O. P. Mc
Kesson on Friday morning at t o'clock.
In the event of the charges being proven
and his dismissal from the department
the commission would be called upon to
appoint his successor. The appointment of
former Chief C. M. Nicholson aa head of
the fire department recently by the com
mission waa declared null and void by
Judge Wheeler of the district court, who
held that until he was removed Jones waa
chief of the department.
While It Is expected that the commission
will appoint Nicholson, none of the com
missioners will admit that auch la their
Intention. There haa been more or less
talk that under civil service rules Nicholson
cannot be elected for the reason that he
Is above the age limit, which la said to be
45 years. A member of the Des Moines
Fire and Police commission, who was in
Council Bluffs recently, while discussing
the fire chief controversy here, stated that
u trier the civil service rules no man out
side of the department who was over 46
years of age could be appointed, either aa
chief or a member of the fire department.
The age limit, however, did not interfere
with the promotion of a man over 6 years
from the ranks to the position of chief.
Public sentiment arrears to favor. In the
event of Jones being removed for cause,
the appointment of a chief from the present
ranks of the fire department, it being con
ceded there are several men In It capable
of holding the position.
The commission will take no action in
the matter of the suspension of Patrolman
Owena by Ma.lor Richmond, chief of police.
Owens haa not availed himself of the five
daya In which to appeal to the commis
sion from the action of the chief, and con
sequently the matter Is not before the
commission.

Bondsman Has His Troubles.
Since Alexander Dobson, proprietor of
the Metropolitan hotel of thla city, went
bondsman for B. B. Davis, Indicted In
Audubon county on charges In connection
with an alleged fraudulent land deal, he
haa attempted to surrender Davis, but
without avail. He made the third attempt
yesterday morning but It waa again a
failure.
Davis, when he made the land deal com
plained of, was a guest at the Metropolitan
hotel and gained the confidence and sym
pathy of Landlord Dobson, who furnished
Davis' bond for his appearance for trial
In Audubon county. Shortly after Dobson
claimed that Davis had been drinking and
he surrendered Davis to the Audubon
authorities. Davis succeeded, however. In
patching up matters and Dobson remained
on his bond. A second time this happened
and for the second time Davis succeeded
In pacifying Dobson.
Yesterday morning Dobson appeared with
Davis at Sheriff Canning's office and de
clared he desired to surrender Davis.
Sheriff Canning declined to act, it not
being In hla province aa the bond waa
famished In Audubon county. While Dob
son waa arguing the matter Davla slipped
out of the back door. When Dobson dis
covered Davla had given him the slip ha
started out In pursuit and overtaking hltn
escorted him to the railway depot with the
Intention of accompanying him to Audubon,
the trial having been set for yesterday.
In the meantime Davis' friends had not
been idle and had filed an information
before Justice Greene charging Dobson
with assault and battery on Davis. When
Dobson reached the depot with Davla Con
stable Maltby placed Dobson under arrest
and the latter waa taken before Justlco
Greene, who promptly released him on
hla own recognisance, Davis, however,
In the meantime had flown the coop, so
to apeak, and Dobson, mindful of the
fact that he had been aubponaed to appear
In court that day In Audubon took the
next train for that town. Davis, It was
stated by hla attorney last night, intended
to make hla appearance In Audubon today,
when. If he does. It is a certainty Dobson
will take the necessary steps to release
himself aa bondsman for him.

at this time invites diseaae and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any oryan,
the tendency is at thla period
. likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also canoe ra
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
cf suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of Im
pending evil, palpitation of the heart.
irregularities, constipation and dizzi
ness are promptly heeded by intel

Bottled Beer
This water haa in itself health-giving
properties that peculiarly adapt it to
the brewing of a delicious, palatable
1 beer. During the past fifteen years
STORZ BEER has become famous
because of the use of this water. No
other one ingredient entering into the
manufacture of beer has so much to
do with its general excellence as pure
water. Discriminating people who
want nothing but the best when eat
ing or drinking will appreciate this
point and insist on having STORZ
BEER.
