In lh epulis I report from the romniltt's
appointor! by the Omaha Water board to
inv -sttgat the water franchlaa of the
i liv. It n reromtneiidpd Friday that the
A W board take Immediate trp to prevent the
pHHiian of an ordinance contemplated by
the fiouth Otnaha council. Tha committee
(uKreNta certain modification- of tha pro
pnied ordinance, on the contention that the
ordinance would greatly reduce the value
of the water works property In South
nmeha. and that Omaha, aa owner of the
water works and forced to pay over. IMO.O
for It. must Immediately take action to
prevent thin deterioration.
The report ya that notwithstanding pro
trsta Omaha flnda It muat pay more than 1
S&"&,uwt for the water plant In South Omaha.
The Water board wishes to (tuard tha city
In all ways possible. Now that tt appears
that the South Omaha city council has
consideration an ordinance that
seriously affect the water plant In
I South Omaha, unlens reasonably modinea.
It l plain duty to take ateps to aecur rea
sonable modifications or a new ordinance.
It la proposed to grant a water works Iran,
chlse to the Union Stock Yards company.
The granting of this would be Inimical.
"Wa realixa the fctock Yards company
haa not been adequately supplied with
water and believe It should be allowed to
provide water for Its own use, but should
not be allowed to compete with Omaha's
i municipal water plant," says the report
lgned by R. B. Howell, P. C. Heafey and
1). J. O'Brien, committee of tha Water
i - board. v
Accordingly this committee has recom
mended to tha council of South Omaha
that the proposed ordinance be no amended
that tha privilege asked by the Stock Yards
company shall run only to tha Stock Yards
company and Its successors, and that
streets, alley and public grounds be defln
Itcly stated, all to be finished on or before
January L 1912.
The committee called upon E. Bucking
ham and In short he stated that the fran
chise was Just as tha Stock Yards company
wanted It. "It would appear that Influences
controlled by tha Omaha Water company
are urging the South Omaha council to
grant to tha Stock Yards company, with
out cost, valuable rights, that tha United
states courts are compelling the city of
Omaha to accept from tha Omaha Water
company and pay therefore a substantial
portions of 1600,000," says the report. "It Is
possible that the Omaha Water company
ght acquire again these rights for which
hey had been handsomely paid without
returning a dollar of the money paid. It is
understood that the mayor and a majority
of the city council of Boutn Omaha are
likely to be in favor of the ordinance as
originally Introduced."

"I double dare you to give him an olive."
It was Miss The tlee, a block or two east
of the society room, talking.
"Wahta, huh!" straightway remarked
Don H. Foster, the young man at MIp
The Dee's left, and with that he politely
tendered the dtxh of olives to Mr. Charlie
Circle Fool. Accepting the courtesy with
simple dignity. Mr. Circle Fool ate the
morsel to the degree of great gusto not to
say sang frold.
Thus was the Ice broken at one table,
much In the same way small talk fell Into
an easy swing at the others. In the Com
mercial club dining room Friday noon.
Miss The World-Herald, Ml The News
and Miss The lies had society with bells
on right at their dainty elbows. Sioux In
dians wearing the traditional Jewelry and
decorations of shells, elk teeth and feath
ers, graciously broke bread with the young
women on terms of friendliness.
Never was there such a dinner. Will A.
Campbell, smiling and playing his part
IA the very essence of grace. Invitations
to the unique dinner described the func
tion as one having the purpose of giving
the Indians and the women a good time.
The Commercial club was donor of the affair.
Besides the three feminine guests of
honor eight red men, their dusky wives and
several very small Indian lads and lassies
t at the feast. It was due to the Inciden
tal presence of Krnest snd Frank Jackson,
Ople Chambers and Don Foster, who
merely own land In the Rosebud reserva
tion of South Dakota and have an exhibit
at the Omaha Land show, that the conver
sation of the event breezed easily along.
Chief Yellow Horse responded to a toast
by rising to his feet and delivering himself
of an excellent speech in tha language of
the Sioux. '
Among others present were Messrs.
Henry Milk, Kane Milk, Charley Circle
Fool, Ben Charging Hawk, Herman

City Officials Do
Not Like the' New
Public Service Bill
Assert it Will Take Jhe Right of
Granting; Franchises Away
from City.
If the bill giving public service corpora
tions In Nebraska Indeterminate licenses
and putting these matters In the hands of
the State Railway commission Is passed,
the city of Omaha will have no more to
say about franchises In this city than a
man In Oshkosh, according to Assistant
City Attorney I. J. Dunn.
The bill was introduced into the senate
by Senator Alberts and is known as senate
file No. 121 The bill provides that alt pub
lic service corporations shall be given In
determinate licenses and gives these regula
tions in the hands of the State Railway
eommlsson," said Mr. Dunn.
"This means tbat franchises may be
granted In Oman to publlo service cor
porations by the commission without the
city council or people having a say In the
matter.
This commlseLen, under this act, can do
as It pleases. It can grant franchise In
Omaha, from which the city will not de
rive on cent of revenue. That will be
fine tat of affairs. The purposes of this
bill are too obvious."
A campaign against the passage of the
bill will b started by Omaha officials. The
bill I being closely studied by City Attorney
Rlne, who will make suggestions for Its
defeat as soon as he has studied Its
phases.
