Vlrlaal Confiscation. He aald the power which was .sought In this bill was not built upon good common sense. The title of the bill should be changed to "an act to permit a certain Water board to obtain the property of a private competitor by Insidious methods." It was giving great power, not to the city of Omaha, but to the Omaha Water board. This board is coming before tho legislature with a proposition to allow it to go Into competition with a corpor ation which paid taxea of dlfforent kinds. "They say to you," said he, "that we pay no taxes, we pay no occupation tax. are pay no tax on our franchise, but you must give us the right to compete against a company that pays all of these thlnga for the support of the government of tha city.

In which he eald that no city should operate plants of gay kind against a private plant He urged the committee te remember that IX the city wanted to go into the lighting business, It had the right under the charter to condemn, purchase, ant aoqulre the Omaha Electric light plant and that any legislation which allowed municipal competition with a company that had kept Its promises to the people fo make lower rates last summer, and bad tnada another promise to make a still greater eut the coming summer, pvas unfair, and unjust.

RAILROAD INCOME OFF FORTY MILLION Statistician for Western Lines Says Annual Revenues Decreased This Much Since 1901. ASKING NOW FOB, TEN MILLION CHICAGO, March 8. Because of reductions In freight and passenger rates since 1901, the forty-one west ern railroads who are applying for Increased freight rates are experienc ing a falling off In their revenues of $40,000,000 a year, according to tes timony given today before W. M. Daniels, Interstate Commerce com missioner. L. L, Wettling, statistician for the rail roads, submitted more figures claiming that the western railroads should be per mitted to Increase their rates on certain commodities. He said In 1901 the receipts per freight ton mile were 8. fit mills, as against 8.27 mills per ton mile in 1914. The aveerage passenser rate per mile for the western railroads had been reduced from 2.1 rents In lfcJl to l.tt cenU In V'M. What It All Meaas. '"These differences Illuminate the whole situation." said the witness. 'They mean an average reluction In passenger rate of one-tenth of a cent a mile, or a yearly falling off of 110.000,000. an average re duction In freight ratea on a ton mil basis of ono-twenty-flfth of 1 cent, or a falling off yearly of fM.0G0.0TO. a total reduction In revenue due to decreased rates of $40,000,000." The railroads assert that If the In creased freight ratea now being asked were granted they would gain $10,00n,a nearly In revenue. Mr. Wettling prepared tables purporting to show that advances In wages since 1901 were greater than th amount which would be realised In the proposed Increased rates.

If we are able to con trol pain and disease by means of any pre paration, we certainly are warranted in Its use. One ol the prluolpal symptoms of all diseases la pain, and this Is what the patient most often applies to us for, 1. e. something to relieve hla pain. If we can arrest this firomptly, the patient Is moat liable to trust n us for the other remedies whleb will effect a permanent cure. One remedy which I have used largely In my practice Is Antl ketnnle Tablets. Many and varied are thear uses. I have put them to the test on many occasions, and have never been disappoint ed. I found them especially valuable tor headaches of malarial origin, where quinine waa being taken. They appear to prevent the bad after-effects of the quinine. Antl kamnla Tablets are also excellent for the headaches from Improper digestion! also for headaches ot a nearalglo origin, and es pec tally for women subjec t to pains at certain times. Two Antl-kamnia Tablets give firompt relief .and in a short time the patient s able to go about as usual." These tablets may be obtained at all druggists. Ask for A-K Tablets. They are also unexcelled for headaohes, neuralgia and all pains. Pit. imADHUllY, DENTIST 3 Tsars la Omaha. In His Vew Location, sai-as wood, man of the World Bldg.
