this sdmlrnble method of presenting the

The attorney . for th city and Mr.
Burn last evening authorized the state
ment that the city's appraisal will be ap-
eup proximately tjow.uuo ror tn entire plant.
while that ot Mr. Klersted wa 1500.948.
It was also stated by Mr. Burn and the
city's attorney. Messrs. Kimball and Tin
ley, that the depreciation would be quite
large, probably as great aa 35 per cent.
Inndeqoacr of System.
City Engineer Etnyre wa on the atand
for a targe part of the day. HI testimony
related to th Inadequacy ' ot the system
for supplying the wants of the city, which
reduced, if It did not wholly destroy, the
"going value" of the plant. Attorneys
Webster and McHugh fought hard to pre
vent thW testimony going In, and instanced
a decision in the United States court of
appeals where similar evidence was ad
mitted In the record ot the Omaha water
case and was excluded. Judg llobson,
chairman of the condemnation court,
stffted that the Iowa law provided for no
such review, and as the court had to pass
finally on this phase of the matter th
Judge had decided to permit th widest
latitude In the Introduction of evidence,
seeking everything that would In th re
motest degree bear upon the actual value
of the plant at the present time, and that
such motion would be uniformly over
ruled. The same objection wa raised
when City Engineer Etnyre testified to tha
condition of the Broadway paving; that
the street had been ordered repaved and
that nothing should be charged as cost
for relaying pavement above water pipes,
and it was likewise overruled.
The Judges decided to convene court each
morning at 10 o'clock, as that appears to
be a early aa the attorney for th water
comrany can reach here from their home
tn Omaha. Mr. Burn will resume his
testimony this morning and Mr. Etnyre
alii again take the stand.

Views of Spring Rugs and Farewell of Stock Rugs
Our Inrgo nig deportment, which Ims been moved from the fifth to the third floor, with its heautifui,
vernal, floral-patterned goods, is taking on an attractive, fresh appearance of spring.' To walk amid its
new offerings, with their colors and designs selected especially to harmonize with the spring decorations
is an inspiration. Every housewife who accepts our invitation to do 50 is sure to feel that prices on these
new rugs are economical and reasonable. Included in this spring showing are Axmiuster, Itoynl Axmin
ster, Body Brussels, Hoyal Wilton and Scotch Hugs, in most desirable designs and beautiful colors. We
intend to duplicate these'pntterns and have placed the first exhibit nt bottom prices. But to make a visit
to our store still more of a pleasure trip for the housewife we have arranged our stock rugs for their fare
well appearance at great concessions. These are sterling qualities, made from choicest patterns of ear
pets and borders. They were bought in at low prices and therefore are now offered at figures repre
senting merely n fraction of their true worth. Though the quantities were lessened greatly by the Janu
ary demand the variety of patterns is practically as diverse as ever. These nigs are in a variety of
iizes and offer a wide choice. t
