A Guarantee of Hmnui Prosperity The PersUtent snd Wise Patronage et The Bee Advertising Columns l.oeatlea of Importaat Fire Plaae Keeerel of Mrs. Sters Friday. It wss given out yesterdsy that between and tnu names have been received to the petitions calling for a special election In rae the franchise Is granted the Stock Yards company for laying a line of I'll' through certain streets from the river to a reservoir In the stock yards district. Sev eral grounds of objection have been dis closed In the controversy, which has ranged over the pact two weeks, as was pointed out some time ago, there Is an objection to the use of the phrase "stock yards company or Its assigns " It Is held that this will give the company liberty to aell out to a syndicate from anywhere. In reply to this the stock yards people say that thy have no such Intention and that the "assigns" represent a company composed of the stock yards and packing house Interests thst will run and operate the plant. "We only want," a packing house official said, "water to run our plants, and we have no desire either to cater for a South Omaha water business or enter Into competition with any com pany or persons supplying South Omaha with water." Streets ,ot ladlreted. Another point raised Is that the ordinance does not Indicate the streets through which the line of pipes shall run. The stock yards people object to making this any more definite and say there are only a fear routes from the river and that If they designate any they would have to pay an exorbitant price for the land, once this were known. Further action on the ordinance awaits the decision of the judiciary committee of the city council. If some statements made yesterday were to be believed. Mayor Tralnor has committed himself to the pass ing of the ordinance and was going to have it pushed through the council. In ths po sition ths matter at present stands In the committee, such a statement could only be made for the purpose of politics and discrediting the city administration. "I have no open mind on the subject," de clared Mayor Tralnor. "but It haa not yet com up to me for action. The council has yet to pas upon the aubject and they will make their decision when the judiciary committee report either for or against the ordinance." But aslds from these objections urged against ths passing of the ordinance In Its present form there Is a general objection against "doing anything." as It Is put. for the stock yards company until It comes to terms in connection with the F street via duct. This Is an old bono of contention between the people resident In ths northwest side of the city and the company for years. It has been made an election rallying cry again and again by both partlea and like King Charles' head It baa cropped up again. Members of the council do not conceal the fact that they will contlnu to oppose the granting of the ordlnanc no matter how strong the case mad out In favor of It until the stock yards company comes to terms In connection with the construction of this viaduct across the tracks.' It Is thus the situation In regard to th ordi nance stands and It has yet to get Its second and third reading. City aad Water Compear. A committee of the city council with Mayor Tralnor and Charles Collins, local superintendent of th water company, yes terday mad an Inspection of certain hydrant complained of by th mayor when he vetoed th bill of the company for water servlcs at the meeting of the coun cil January 11 Mayor Tralnor stated that after ths Inspection Superintendent Collins admitted the mayor's contentions were justified both as to location and pressure. It was suggested that th hydrant at th northwest corner of Q street affn ths via duct should be placed on the viaduct and not under It as at present and to this ar rangement Mr. Collins agreed. Another suggestion made was that the Union Pa- clflo company ahould be approached to make an opening In Its high board fence so that the fire department should havs ready access to the hydrant at the Swift com pany's plant. This hydrant Is meant for the protection f the plant and thl part of th city. A to the pressure at West L street, Mr. Collins admitted that It Is low at certain time.' In connection with the new stock yards water scheme this fact haa been fre quently commented upon. The low pres sure. It Is stated, Is due to the amount of water being drawn by ths stock yards and packing houses and It Is affirmed the new scheme will relieve If not altogether do away with this situation. What will be done with regard to the hydrant at Twenty-fourth and O streets Is a matter for further determination by the council. It Is really only available In case of a fire when notice Is given the water company and It Is stated that owing to the cellar of a store at this corner being so much below the street ths danger of a burst Is feared It the hydrant were allowed to be In continual operation the same as others. Hostofflr (kaiin. Postmaster Lew F. Etter announced this morning the changea in the department consequent upon his promotion to the charge of the office. As was generally anticipated, Charles W. Miller succeeds Mr. Etter as assistant postmaster.

UsVsr T i 1 The housewife of today with wardrobes, linen presses, roomy cupboards, closets, cabinets and sideboards at her command, cannot appreciate the diificulties which bost her ancestors. Probobly she has never given thought to the situation of the women, of olden times and does not know that the problem of "where to put tilings" has ever been a perplexing one. In the days of the Tudors the housewife who was tidy furrowed her brow over this question. In designing furniture, masters of the nrt in that and other periods struggled to devise articles which would give women room for their many trinkets and dresses. How ingeniously they succeeded can be learned by an inspection of pat terns of the various classical periods in our ttore. These will enable the housewife to look back into other centuries and see how her an cestors were provided for by master designers whose models have been reproduced for use in the simplest cottage and most elegant man sion. Prices on classical and modern patterns have been reduced for the closing days of our January sale, making alluring attractions for shoppers. 450 $31.00 Bird's-eye Maple Dresser Strongly constructed along quaint lines, durable $20.00 $27.00 Bird's-eye Maple Chiffon ierWell arranged and strongly built, high quality $20.00 $25.00 Bird's-eye Maple Princess Dresser Furniture of character and strength $17.50 $62.00 Mahogany Dresser Ex tremely attractive design, com modious drawers, French mirror. $45.00 $18.00 Tilting Top Table Mahogany finish, strong.... $ 9-00 $5.50 Turned Oak Stand-Slervioeable and strong $ $4.00 Vienna Chair Cane seat, well constructed $ 2-50 $11.00 Chippendale Music Cabinet Mahogany finish. $ 9-75 $15.00 Rocker-Mahogany finish, gen uine leather seat . . $10 . 00 $9.50 Morris Chair Tapestry or Imi tation leather cush ion S $10.00 Gold Frame Mirror Beveled French plate glass, 17x11 S 6. 00 $70.00 Golden Oak China Cabi net Pretty design with all prac- tical elements ...... .$45.00 $65.00 Golden Oak .
