Request for Fwk Bonds.
Tho South Omaha Board of Park com
missioners met last night and came to an
agreement concerning the Improvement of
the South Omaha parks. Th board
adopted a resolution recommending that
the city council issue $15,000 bonds to be
used for the permanent improvement of
th parka. One of the stipulations of the
request was that $6,000 of th Issue was to
be used to purchaao additional land to be
added to Majidan park to make It access
ible. Mandan park was bought from Edward
Dee during the Hoctor administration. The
park has no means of entranoe with the
open streets of the city 'and can only be
reached through th private property of
P. J. Barrett. He proposes to sell the city
five acre with, a roadway for $6,000. This
Is mora than the park board wishes to ex
pend. Th city council la authorised by
the statute to issue $15,000 bonds upon the
written request of the Board of Park Com
missioners without submitting the issue
to a popular vote. The council will prob
ably act at the earliest moment In com
plying with the resolution of the board,
which will be laid before them at the next

One scarcely realises how much I done

of public health. Th National Association

takes first rank In th effort to wipe out

chusset third and Illinois, Maryland, New
Jer''' California, Colorado. Connecticut
and Ohio In their order.
Recent studies of the death rate from
various ailments reveal startling condi
tions. They show that Americana ar pay
ing a terrible penalty for overwork. While
th death rat from contagloua diseases
ha dropped it per cent since 1880, that
from disease of the -kidney, heart and
brain ha Increased 8$ per cent In the same
period. These figure tell of th tax of
hard work and high living. Kidney dls-
eases, springing from Intemperate eating
and drinking and from hard work, now
how a death rate hat haa Increased 131
per cent sine 1880. Ther ar 84 par cent

there war thirty year ago and 57 per cent
more death from heart disease. Mean
while all contagious diseases are ahowlng

It cannot b argued that thl Increasing
mortality In th disease of overwork and
overlndulgenoe Is due to unprvntabl

drawn In th annual report of Herbert

Postmaster-General Hitchcock reports
that the Post-Office Department loses
$64,000,000 a year in the business of
carrying second-class mail (magazines and,
periodicals).
There is not a deficit of $17,000,000,
, as the department alleges, but actually a
surplus of more than $10,000,006, when
the specific loss on free rural delivery is
taken into consideration, and the de
partment's figures of $64,000,000 loss on
secpnd-class matter are wrong by more
than $60,000,000.
THE
EVE.

page to this subject, showing the injustice
of the recommendation to raise the rate on
all magazines and periodicals but not on

One fact: In the year ended June
30th, 1908, the weight of second-class
matter compared to 1907 decreased 18,
000,000 pounds. The postal expenditures
creased $18,000,000. There is some
thing in it besides second-class matter.

Oat State Debt of South
Dakota.
PIERRE, 8. D., Feb. 10.-(Speolat.) Gov
ernor Veewey today gave out hi first
statement as to. his candidacy for renom
Inatlon. He took the position that th
coming campaign In th primaries will be
upon the Issue at state expenditure and
said: "I am ready to go upon th plat
form upon thAt issue and compare th
work of the legislative session of 1MB, when
Mr. Elrod waa governor, and that of 1B00.
I can ahow that th appropriation for
state expenses which wer mad by th
190 session could be met with a levy for
state expenses which was made for th
two year of tho Elrod administration 4
mills for on year andJ mill for th
other. While auch a levy would mft tha
expense, ! am not In favor of reducing
tha levy this year to t mills, but will ask
for i mills, not only to meet th stat ex
penses, but to wlp out th debt which
haa been Incurred In the four year prior
to IS. A 4-mlll levy for this year will
do thl and leave th stat to tak oar
of current xpnse and not be hampered
by debt of the pas admlnlatcMlons. n
fact, I will, aa I did two year ago, stand
for a sufficient tax levy to meet th grow.
