Laughter, Digestion And Health An eminent Russian physician has stated his opinion that laughter Is one of the best means known to science for the cor rection of Dyspepsia, stomach and nerr ous diseases. . Laughter, however. In a dyspeptic is like the memory of running brooks and shady glens to the famishing and dying man lost In the desert. If one oould but know all the causes reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a half-heartednees of a dyspeptic's gaiety. ! There is a ceaseless call for appetite, food , and ehjoyment to a dyspeptic, coupled with a moross, moody belief and knowledge that such a call is mockery and ir Indulged in will bring discomfort, pain and regret. Perhaps if It were understood that the digestive system, including mouth, throat and alimentary canal, embracing as It does the stomach, 1s composed ot mem braneous tissue filled with millions ot small nerves, which control added mil lions ot little mouths or suckers. Perhaps if this were known men could more com prehensibly understand that to disarrange such a system would mean Indeed intense physical pain. How suppose that this alimentary canal Is a mass of worn-out. debilitated nerves and mouths, each suffering excruciating physical pain and discomfort, and suppose such a canal filled with the fumes of foul odors and decayed food from the last meal, and one has a slight Idea as to the lsck ot laughter of a dyspeptic. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the highest digestive Ingredients one grain of a single Ingredient being capable of di gesting 3.UUU grains of food relieves the alimentary canal of Its onerous duties, as sists it .along Its entire length (30 feet) to perform its routine. Imparts strength and buoyancy to the stomach and gives back to the blood a strong, healthy nourish ment. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natural adjuncts to digestion. They do not falsely stimulate an already weakened machine, but build up where building la needed and remove where removal la necessary. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have nothing to conceal. Here Is what they are made of: Hydrastis, golden seal, lactose and aseptic pepsin. Forty thousand physicians In America and Canada use and prescribe them. They should be used after every hearty meal whether one la a dyspeptic or not. Every druggist carries them; price SOc. Bend as your bum and address and we will send you sample package free.

HALF MILLION OF BONDS SUE Receivership Blocks Effort of Council to Red ace Water Rates, bat Haa No Effect ob Proposal to Balld Municipal Plaat. The Council Bluffs City Water Work company haa gone Into the hands of a re ceiver, E. W. Hart, manager of the com pany for nearly twenty years, haa been appointed receiver and yesterday iUsd his bond In the gum of 320,000, The placing of the company In the hands of a receiver was made on the application of the Farmers' Loan and Trust company of New York City, trustee for the holders ' .... mt i . - . , V. A IMLHin,Wtf or me iirex issue ui uwua wt ww . amounting to 3600,000. The petition of the Farmers Loan and Trust company was filed on Monday of this week in the United States circuit court In thla city by Hall & Stout of Om ahsj attorneys for the Farmers' Loan and Trust company, but pending the appoint ment of a receiver, waa not mad public until yesterday afternoon. Th order appointing Mr. Hart as re ceiver was made Tuesday at Kansas City by Judge Smith McPherson and waa placed on record In the court here yesterday. The appointment f Mr. Hart as receiver was agreed upon by th? trust company and the water warks company. Under the order of his appointment Receiver Hart la vested with full authority to conduct the man agement of the business of the company as ha htd heretofore. Reason for Receivership. The petiUon of the Farmers' Loan and Trust company Is a document of between thirty and forty pages of typewritten mat ter. It asks for the appointment of a re ceiver on the alleged grounds that the Water Works company is Insolvent and that the bonds for which the trust company Is trustee are past due and unpaid. These bonds became due about th tune of the ex piration of the company", franchise, over two years ago. Closely following the filing of the petition of the Farmers Loan and Trust company, the answer of th Water Works company was placed on record by Oeorge 8. Wright, local attorney for the company, and all the papers In the case were taken by him to Kansas City and submitted to Judge Mc pherson, who granted the application of the trust company and made the appoint ment of Mr. Hart as receiver. Mr. Wright returned from Kansas City yesterday morn ing, the bond of Mr. Hart was prepared and filed and the appointment of a receiver for the company then made public. The formality of dispossessing Mr. Hart as manager and reinstalling him In charge as receiver waa gone through yesterday after noon. In Its answer the Council Bluffs City Water Works company denies that It Is In solvent, except that It admits Its Inability at this time to take up the 3600,000 bonds Issued by It. I The action looking towards the appoint ment of a receiver, Mr. Wright said, had been brought at the request of a majority of the bondholders. Blocks Now Water Rates. The appointment of a receiver by the United States court takes the company en tirely out of tbe Jurisdiction of the state courts, but the receivership does not In any way affect the action of the city In regard to the proposed issuance of 3600,000 water works bonds or the construction of the pro posed municipal water plant. "The filing of the receivership proceed ings in the United States court on Monday," said Mr. Wright yesterday, "gave that court Jurisdiction of the matter before the meet ing of the city council Monday night, when the new water rates ordinance was Intro duced. The appointment of a receiver by the United States court takes th company wholly out of the Jurisdiction of the state courts, and the city council now has no power to fix rates for the company or to do anything to interfere with the manage ment or Its affairs by the receiver." "The business of the water works com pany will continue to be administered by Mr. Hart, but now under th direction an3 control of the federal court," continued Mr. Wright. "If the city should finally decide not to build a municipal plant and should decide to grant a water works franchise, the receivership would make It possible to clear up the affairs of the company and effect a reorganisation more speedily than If It did not exist." City Solicitor Clem F. Kimball does not agree with Attorney Wright as to the city counell not having the power to fix rates for the company now thatf the company la under the Jurisdiction of the federal court. He said: ' "The regulation of rates Is a legislative action on the part of the city council and I question whether the court would have the right to Interfere with such action. It certainly could not Interfere until the council haa made the rates and then only on a proper showing that the rates so made by the city council were unreason able. The city still has the same power to fix rates that It had before the company went into the hands of a receiver. Of course, the receiver might file such a show ing that the new rates contemplated by the ordinance now before the council are un reasonable, that the court would Issue an Injunction restraining the city from en forcing the rates, but the mere fact ot the receivership would not make It possible to compel consumers to keep on paying a rate that wss unreasonable, and the question whether the rates are unreasonable can only be determined now In the same man ner as they would have been determined had there been no appointment of a re ceiver." Mr. Kimball said that the city's claim for recovery of hydrant rental alleged to have been excessive and unreasonable, would probably now be filed in the federal court, but that If a purchase of the company's plant wers finally negotiated a claim of this character would probably be merged in any settlement which might ultimately be made. WORK OX FEDERAL, BlILDIXO Prellaalearles te Construction of Addition. Postmaster A. S. Hsselton received orders yesterday from the supervising architect at Washington to Instruct the city engineer to mako soundings, establish levels, com pile measurements and take photographs of the site of the addition to the postofflce. Peregoy A -Moore, former owners of the lot adjoining the postofflce grounds on the west which was purchased by the govern ment, have been notified to remove the buildings wUhln the next thirty days so that th engineer can begin his work. Indications are that the work of erecting th much needed addition to the postofflce will be commenced in the spring. Mr. Has elton said yesterday: "Letters which I have received from the supervising archi tect In Washington Indicate that the de partment Intends to go ahead with the work of construction as soon as possible. Th Washington authorities are conser vative and often tak a long time before they take actual steps toward a new proj ect, but once they get started they go at It with a will and I have every reason to be lieve that the work on the addition to the postofflce Is to bs pushed from this time on." BOOSTING ALOG THE Y. M. C. A. Committee Mack Encouraaed by the First Day's Work. "Help us raise th roof." This Is the slogan of the committee which started out yesterday to raise the money needed to complete the Young Men's Chris tian association building according to tho original plans.

These committees will report at noon today, when another meeting will be held around tho luncheon table. Although no figures were given out. it was stated last evening that the committees had met with great encouragoment.

Aa before announced these two commit tees will endeavor to raise 315,000 by 10 o'clock Wednesday night, January 27. In order that the 35,000 promised by a group of business men may become available. This offer of 85,000 was first suggested by Frank H. Keyes, who agreed to contrib ute one-fourth, or 31,250 of it. On condition that the remaining 315,00) of the 320,000 needed to complete the building with the third story as originally planned, waa sub scribed within a certain time. Mr. Keys bad previously subscribed 3500 uncondi tionally. "Things look mighty encouraging," said General Secretary Harry Curtis last even' lng. " and I believe the people of Council Bluffs are going to make It possible for us to take down that 35.000 which four business men have promised us if the other 315,000 is raised my January 27. I feci very hopeful. In fact I might say confident, that the money will be raised." CLEARING DAMAGE BY EXPLOSION Tests Being; Made to See Where Gas Comes from. The Independent Telephone company had a number of men at work yesterday re pairing the damage done by the explosion in the cable conduit Tuesday. New covers are being placed over the manholes and vent holes provided, so aa to prevent as far as possible another accumulation of gas In the conduits. Manager English of the Citlsen's Gas & Electric company had his men make a number of tests yesterday along the line of the manholes but they were unable to locate any leak In the gas mains, although the smell of gas was still very noticeable at the manholes. The tests, Mr. English stated, would be continued until the leak. If any leak exists. Is found, when the break will be speedily repaired, "It was fortunate for Mr. Laubach that the manhole covers gave way when they did," said City Engineer Btnyre yester day. "If they had not Manager Laubach would probably have been blown clear through the exchange building. He Is very fortunate In escaping without being serl- ously Injured." Mr. Btnyre Is of the opinion that the explosion was caused by Manager Lau- bach of the Independent company going Into the tunnel leading to the conduit with a lighted lamp to seek the cause of the strong smell of gas coming Into the ex change building from the conduit. Mayor Maloney yesterday had notice served on the Independent Telephone com pany that It would be expected to raise the manhole covers at least once a day for several days to come, In order to clear the conduits of any gas which may yet re main in them and thus prevent another exploaion which might not terminate sj fortunately as the one Tuesday did.

Neb Ada Covey, Herman, Nub X The Story off Nebraska The Omaha Bee has planned to publish "The Story of Nebraska," not the story of the prairie schooner, the sod house, the trapper or the fur trader, but of prosperous, progressive, busy, up-to-the-minute Nebraska. Many of the new and some of the older settled counties have been making prog ress so quietly that the world at large is not aware of their achievements. Our object U to bring all loyal and progressive citizens into close r touch in the commercial and social relations, and to work for the development of the natural resources of the 6tate, to foster and build up manufacturing industries, and by every consistent effort encourage the employment of skilled labor and improve the conditions of the laboring classes. The story will give only a glimpse, a mere outline. The reader will be shown among the print just enough to give him a general idea of the state. Its opportuni ties to the dairyman, and its openings to the home maker. The free rural mail box and the telephone pole are crowding the frontier. The wolf and the wilderness have retreated. If during her early, history Ne braska has surprised her own people, surely a brighter future awaits them. ....--- There will be a little about the towns and cities, just now somewhat misunderstood and misjudged, and something about the rural districts, the farm and the stock ranch. Here and there will be found a few figures, not many, just a few, as measurements and for the information of those who enjoy such things. It will tell the achievements of a people, who in less than half a century have wrought ont of a boundless prairie a progressive, productive state. It will give in brief the new life in the new country, the swift passing of events, the possibilities of advancement and pleasure. These articles will be fully illus trated and will appear in the Sunday Bee from week to week. Next Sunday-Johnson County. 5Ae Omaha Sunday Bee . .

At a meeting of Eighth district republicans held here yesterday for the purpose of hearing the report of a subcommittee appointed at a previous meeting to investigate the pro posed contest for congressman in this dis trict it developed that the committee had not found as much to encourage them as htd been expected and some things were at least a little disconcerting. Still tho committee feels that If Colonel Hepburn Is willing for the contest to proceed he would be victorious. But Colonel Hepburn made it very plain to his friends In the district that under no circumstances would he per mit the contest to go on if it were to hinge on technicalities. Ho wanted a fair re count, believing that If an error were made In the first count It was because of a dif ference In Judgment as to what constituted a party ballot rather than any Intimation of fraud. The committee decided to send Its findings to him for Inspection before proceeding, though to protect hla Interests In the meantime notice of tne contest waa filed.
