LIGHT COMPANY TO REDUGETHE RATES Will Make Reduction No Matter What the Outcome of Conference with Officials. LOWER THAN D AIRMAN BILL GRAIN EXCHANGE TO CLOSE FOR TODAY On account of what tha members desig nate aa an Illegal holiday, the room of the Omaha Grain exchange will be closed this afternoon. The occasion Is tha annual outing of the Grain exchange members. The Omaha grain market waa strong, wheat selling 23Hc above tha price of Wednesday. The sale, however, were made before reports came In from all over the country, announcing the return of perfect harvest weather. Price then aagged off, following Chicago, which waa down aome 3c on wheat and nearly aa much on corn and oats. Receipts continued light, there being but two car of wheat offered. Corn re celpta were twenty-two carloada and Omaha price were up ie, the sales being made at TOgTOo. Oats were He up and the ten carloada sold at 9&&04c per bushel. Along the lines of the Infor mation first prlntel by The Bee, conference or no conference, mediation or no mediation, the Omaha j Electric Light and Power company proposes to wait for none of these, but will go ahead and offer a reduced rate schedule to the pub lic very shortly, and while officials cannot be Induced to say much about it. it is hinted that It will be effec tive for the July bill. Thus while the Commercial club special commit tee appointed to mediate difference between the city council and the elec tric light company, is getting ready to mediate them, the company is go ing ahead independently with a schedule of reduced rates. I. B. Zlmman, contract agent of the company, when asked concerning the matter, said "I really dont know any thing about It." General Harries, president of the elec tric light company, knows all about it, but he la not talking much. When he does talk, he talks on subjects foreign to electrlo light rates. Redaction Proposed. Anyway, the new rate voluntarily pro posed by the company, will cost the con sumer for llehtlng purposes 8 centa per ktlownt hour for the first twenty-five kllowata, and 5V& centa for tho rext 125. Then It will oet. 4 centa per . kllowat for the uext 1.E00 kllowata, and corres ponding redtu?Uona per kllowat will be made for greater amount. "It waa hard for ue to understand," said General Harries, "how the other rate proposed some time ago cdUId have aroused auch universal protest when we were voluntarily cutting down our groaa Income some $80,000 a year. To say the leaat It was looking a gift horse in the mouth." The prexent proposed rate. It la said, will reduce the qompatiy's Income some $10,000 per year. The secondary rata now proposed for per kllowat for cur rent above twenty-five kllowata and not above ISO kllowata la to be a half cent per kllowat lower than the secondary rate proposed In Mayor Dehlman'a ordi nance In the spring. It waa found at the time, tho Dahlman ordinance was up for discission that In some Instances the proposed change would really increase a consumer's Mil rathe' than re&uce it. It la aald that the proposed new rate sched ule will cure thl situation. Date for Annual Market Week is Now Agreed Upon Acting upon the suggestions of the Omaha merchants, the market week com mittee of the Commercial club haa fixed the date for the fourth annual market weak, which haa become an annual fall affair in Omaha.

Important to Health During Hot Weather Summer Condition Con tribute in Varioae Way to Constipation At no time should people be more care ful of the condition of their bowels than during the hot weather. Constipation should be guarded against especially, as many serious, and often fatal, diseases are traceable to neglect. Some people find that certain fruits have a laxative effect, but this cannot always be depended upon: a mild laxa-llve-tonic that will act gently, yet posi tively, without griping or shock to the ftyetom, is far preferable. A combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold In drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is highly recom mended aa being easy and natural In Its action, pleasant to the taste and certain In its effect. A does of this excellent remedy at bedtime will restore normal activity In the morning, carrying off tho heaviness and bloat. Baits, purgatives and cathartics should be avoided aa they upeet the entire system, and at beat af ford but temporary relief. Dr. Caldwell'a Syrup Pepsin Is not ex pensive and can be obtained In any drug store for fifty centa a bottle. For a free trial botle, write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, Washington St, Montioello, 111.
