cists that It Flalshed Aadltorlam
Woald Make More Money aa
that It Is Row Not Do
ing Bad.
"While the stockholders of tho Audltirium
company might be willing lor me cny 10
buy the Auditorium at a reasonable figure
t would require voting of sometning line
JtfOO.OOO worth of bonds and the satisfying
of 1.600 stockholders, after which the build
Ing would not be as well maintained and
utilised as It Is at present," says IT. av
Nash, president of the Auditorium com-
Dany.
Just why the proposition snouiu come
up at this time to have the city vote bunds
and buy the Auditorium, is a mystery to
me. 'Ths proposal can do nothing but
harm to the Auditorium company
hlch Is Just now ottering for sale
the last 16.000 of the oi second
mortgage bonds, which will pay all the
current debts of the company and com
plete the building.
We have worked hard to get the iw.wo
of second ir.ortgnga bonds sold, because
there Is a mistaken Idea that the Audi
torium Is a' financial monstrosity. As a
matter of fact, with 15.000 more bonds
placed, which will doubtlosa be sold within
a short time, the Auditorium will take care
of Itself and in a few years will be pay
ing the stockholders a llttle-not very mucn
perhaps, but ZH to 3hi per cent.
"Why. that Auditorium haa earnea j,vw
In the last seven months above the Inter
est and taxes. That's not doing very bad.
All It needs Is to be completed, as It does
not look good to big attractions. They are
afraid It is not popular because of its un
finished condition and they will not
tackle it.
Doubts Security of Stock.
I would estimate that If the city wants
to buv the Auditorium that J300.000 wortn
of bonds be voted, but 1 am not sure that
the stock could be secured. A majority
of the stockholders could not sell the build
ing to the city If they wanted to do so
There are 1.600 stockholders to be taken
Into consideration. Any one of them can
go Into court and stop the sale of the prop
erty and there would be a number who
would do It If the proposition to give the
city the property for something like 1136,000
was ever seriously considered.
"The Omaha and Council Bluffs Street
Railway company owns $15,000 worth of
the Auditorium stock. I don't believe It
would be possible for the city to secure as
much as tho street railway company owns.
"As a matter of fact the deal will not go
through and it would not be a good thing
If It did. We don't want our Auditorium
ued for a scries of political meetings, and
that la what it would be used for by the
pnrty In power If the city of Omaha' ever
used It. There would be a ward caucus
in the Auditorium within a week after the
city got possession of the building if it
was caucus time.
Mr. Nash Is of the opinion that some are
enthusiastic over the city owning the Audi
torlum, because they saw the city of Den
ver furnish an Auditorium "free for noth
ing" to the national democratic convention
and they naturally believe the Omaha Audi
torlum should be free for everyone, heated
lighted and kept clean for any kind of a
meeting, and that if It was Omaha would
be the greatest convention city In America,
onto Differ with' Nash. . '
The president of the company Is one of
thn three largest Individual holders of
Auditorium stock . and Is making every ef
fort to- acll the 15,000 remaining of the
second mortgage bonds necessary to com
plete the building. The Om.iha Real Estate
exchange passed a resolution deciding that
tho dealers would take $1,CC0 of the bonds,
but the 11.000 has never been raised and
this makes It necessary for the company
to sell the bonds elsewhere.
While Mr. Nash la doubtful a.bouo tho
proposition being practical, some of the
business men favor the city buying the
auditorium.
"It Is the most sensible bond proposition
that has been made for a long time," said
Joseph Hayden of Hayden Brothers. "I
think the city should own and maintain
the Auditorium and I would be in favor
of voting the bonds necessary to take over
the property."
8. P. Bostwlck of Payne & Bostwlck,
said: "I believe the Auditorium would be
more popular If It was owned by the city.
As was suggested In a meeting of the real
eetate exchange and afterwards In the
newspapers, there Is an Idea in too many
people's minds that the Auditorium com
pany Is an arbitrary sort of corporation
and is getting something out of the busi
ness which the Auditorium does. Wh'.lo
this Is untrue, the idea prevails, and If
the building was owned by the city, the
prejudice of many would be removed and
tho enterprises and entertainments given
in the building would receive better patronage."

Instructor says that a building Is a neces
sity, that the schools have outgrown the
present quarters and that If Omaha wants
to keep abreast of the times It must do
something for manual training,
If we had a building of our own we
would Install a blacksmith shop, steam en
gines, lathes and all manner of machinery.
A four year's course would then be Insti
tuted and the boy who graduates from
that course would be in a position to accept
a good Job. His apprenticeship would have
been served. Paxton & Vlorllng now will
is that course now. If we had more ade
quate facilities we could equip the young
men of Omaha so they could, upon the
completion of their high school course, tako
a position In the Union Pacific shops and
hold It."
Mr. Wlgman says that a suitable build-
lr.g would cost from $50,000 to JG0.000 and
that $26,000 ought to be expended for ma
chinery In the shops.

Word was received by the Commercial
club Tuesday that the National Petroleum
association had won the Chloago-Omaha
oil rate case and a reduction of 2.7 cents In
the rate ort oil from Chicago to Omaha was
ordered by the Interstate Commerce com
mission.
The rate on petroleum and Its products
from Chicago and Peoria to Omaha has
been 27 cents for many years. The com
plainant showed that the rate from Chicago
to Kansas City was 22 cents; also that in
making the through rates from Ohio points
to Omaha a combination of rates from the
Ohio shipping point to Chicago and from
Chicago to Omaha was used and the rate
from Chicago to Omaha in such instances
was 22 cents.
After hearing numerous witnesses and a
large number of explanations by the car
riers, the commission ordered that a rate
of 24.3 be made from Chicago and Peoria
to Omaha.
As some 12.000 tons of petroleum and Its
products were shipped to Omaha last year
from Chicago and Peoria the saving
amounts to about $6,480 to Omaha dealers.
In the testimony Introduced before the com
mission It was shown that 9.602 tons of oil
were shipped to Omaha from points east of
the Mississippi river during the first eight
months of 1907. The saving on this amount
alone would bo $3,131.

AULARIA AND
WEAK HEART
Tho following Interesting story told
by Mr. J. II. Riley, Pensioned Fire
man of South Uoston, Mass., Is a
sample of the thousands received from
grateful men and women who have
been benefitted by the World's great
tonic-stimulant.
In an Interview, Mr. Riley said:
"I Joined the Flro Department of
South Boston In IS 80 and was lately
pensioned off bec.xise of a bad fall
while In service, which telescoped my
spine.
"A little over a v?ar ago I was taken
sick while In the ngine house, and It
developed Into heart trouble and ma
laria. I went to a number of doctors
and two different hospitals and went
throueh a course of treatment from
each, but I did not receive much bene
fit from either of them. The doctors
would not let me go in swimming, nor
smoke, nor drink nything but water.
I stopped both tea and coffee. My
case was getting very serious when
a friend said to ra9; 'Why don't you
get a bottle of Duffy's Malt Whiskey?
I know a man who was glyen up for
all time, and he took Duffy's Malt
Whiskey and today he Is as well a
man as you can find. So I com
menced taking Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, and tha result Is that the
doctors now say that I am all right,
ont f never ffit better in my life. Of
course, I am very little good as far as
heavy work la concerned, owing to my
Injury, but I am well, and that is a
good thing to be nble to say. I thank
you for the remely that put me on
my feet again."
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is an
absolutely pure distillation of malted
grain; great care being used to have
every kernel thoroughly malted, thus
destroying the germ and producing a
pre-digested liquid fcod In the form of
a malt essence, which is the most ef
fective tonlc-tlmulant and invlgorator
known to science; roftened by warmth
and moisture, its palatablllty and free
dom from injurious substances render
it so that it can be retained by the
most sensitive stomach.
rjoge; One teaspoonful in each glass
of drinking water during
weather will kill til germs.
If weak and run down, take a tea-
spoonful four times a day in half a
glass of milk or '.vater. It stimulates
the heart action, causes the Diooa to
course more quickly through the veins,
and builds new tissue.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold
throughout the world by druggists,
grocers and dealers or shipped direct
for $1.00 per bottle.

BOY KILLS HIS BENEFACTOR
Insane Yoath Is Turned Over to Im
migration Authorities to Be
Deported.
Frank SvorjU, convicted of killing his
benefactor at Bellvllle, Kan., several weeks
ago, but acquitted of the charge on the
grounds of Insanity, has been ordered de
ported by the Immigration authorities on
the ground of being an Insane criminal.
Svorjd came to America about a year ago
and made his home for a while with an
uncle near Bellvllle, Kan. He ls said to
havo been possessed of an extremely
vicious temperament and delighted in tor
turing and abusing domestic animals. His
uncle remonstrated with him for his cru
elty, when a neighbor, conceiving tliut
Svorjd was being persecuted by his relative,
persuaded the boy to make his home with
him. Svorjd after remaining with his, new
benefactor a few weeks resumed the. prac
tice of torturing and abusing animals and
seemed to take special delight In abusing
a valuable work team. His benefactor at
first mildly admonished the boy to cease
sbustng the team, but he was at it again In
a few days with greater viciousness than
ever. He managed to get hold of a shotgun
and loaded It with buckshot and one day
he hid In the barn and while his benefactor
was doing some worl outside the barn
Svorjd shot him In the back, completely
riddling him with buckshot, causing the In
stant death of his benefactor.
In the trial of Svorjd It was developed
that both of his parents In Bohemia were
Insane and that his mother had only left
an insane asylum in Bohemia a few days
before this boy's birth.
The Omaha representative of the immi
gration bureau will go to Bellvllle this
week, where Svorjd Is still confined in jail,
and take him to New York, from whence
he will be sent back to Bohemia.

Chicago Jobbirs are perplexid over he
recent decision of the Interstate Commerce
commission, In which the commission
ordered a reduction of 15 per cent on
through first claes freight between the
Mississippi end Missouri river. John L.
Webster, representing the Missouri vall-y
dry goods jobbers, waged a hard fieht
against the railroads unci furced a re
duction of 15 per cent on the through
freight, which Is figured on making a
saving of about fl'tfUOO a year to the job
