bine a wise real estate Invest
ment and a home, we say buy
In Dundee. Omaha la growing
rapidly towards the west along
the Dodge street road and lot
values are steadily Increasing.
Good building lots have been
selling well In Dundee since
early spring. Before Investing
elsewhere you owe It to your
self and family to visit Dundee
and look over the ground.
Take a West Farnam Dundee

line and you are In the midst
Of the lots we are now offer-
lng. You will enjoy the good
air and pleasant surrounding

this your future home.
Pleaae bear In mind that

ate and distinct village, hav
ing Its own government. It
has all the conveniences that
can be had In the city of
Omaha and is one of the most
beautiful suburbs of this lsrce
and growing city. We hsve

which are now being offered In

Comment on Reaalt.
The result of the special election was not
unexpected, as an exceedingly vigorous cam
paign had been waged against the proposed
franchise for several weeks. The defeat of
the proposed charter. It Is generslly con
ceded, was due to the new schedule of
water rates rassed by the city council,
people generally taking exception to the
minimum meter rate.
V W ttart m,M,.r e the water .nl-a
company while not wholly unprepared for
mo result or yesteraay s election, was dis
appointed at the outcome. He was not pre
pared to make any detailed statement Inst
right, merely saying: "I know nothing of
politics and have no explanation to" offer
for our defeat. I regret that the voters
have denied us the right to use small
unoccupied space under the surface of the
streets."
George S. Wright, attorney for the ws.ter
works company, when seen last night after
the reeuk of the vote was known, said: "It
was the quietest election I have ever taltrn
part In and was a fair contest between the
business Interests of Council Bluffs and the
political Interests of a few office seekers.
The small property owners have been de
ceived by platitudes and promises which
they will find to their sorrow cannot ar-d
will not be fulfilled. About half the normal
vote was out What we call the floating
, vote am not come to or hang around tho
polls. The water works company refused
to allow one dollar to be spent for other
I than legitimate purposes. We have no ex-
I cuses to offer nor spologies to make."
Councilman Wallace contented himself by
saying when asked for an expression of
opinion: ii was tne win or the people,
that's all."
The election was a very Quiet one. but
both sides worked hard to bring the voters
out. The total vote cast was 2,908, not
counting about eighty-five ballots which
were spoiled by being marked wrong. At
the special election at which the Independ
ent Telephone company's franchise was up
to the voters there were 2.809 rotes cast,
1.755 being for the franchise and 99 against,
with ninety-two defective ballots.
