WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY OF THE OUTLOOK
Cholcrn In Almost Sitro to Como nnd In
ClvnnllnrM in llio Only N.ifcty 1'lnim
lor Ititlftliif ; I nmli for
the Worlt.
The prevailing sentiment In all branches of
the municipal government is .that the city
needs n general cleaning up , and that It the
money nocosiary to accomplish It cannot bo
raised In ono way It should bo In another.
The amount rcoulrod Is variously estimated
nt from > ,00J ( to $ tl,0K ) ) , and the general fund
is so depicted at the prosonl tlmo that It Is
said to bo out of the question lo sccurj It
thoro.
That , however , doss not chnngo the exist
ing statu of affairs about the city , out only
( loinnnstratoj the nocaulty for raising the
money some other wny.
Mayor Bonus said yesterday that there
WAS no room for doubt that n thorough con-
oral cleaning of the city win the only thing
that would put It in shupo lo undergo a slogo
of the cholera with anv degree of publto
ftafcty , as tbo projont condition of certain
quarters would Insure a frlghtim mortality
rate. Ho Vhought that It would roqutro from
$3,000 to ttO.UJU to do the woric as It should
be dono. How the money was to bo raisoa
no could not say. Ho did not Know whether
Ibo council had a legal light to inauo an nn.
proprlatlon for the purpoao or not. It had
'inado ' nn appropriation for a proper observ
ance of thu Fotirlh of July , and tbo people
bad not klckod about It , nnd bo was Inclined
to think that popular demand mlebt perhaps
make similar action all right tu ibis caso. It
bad boon suggested to him that the wealthy
men of the cliy might solve the question If
they chose to do so , by guaranteeing the
necessary amount , -and trusting to Provi-
dcnco and the next legislature to reimburse
thorn. Popular subicrlptton might bo tha
moans of securing the aucouiplUhmont of
Iho work , but ho could notsco how It was to
bo done in any other way.
l.ugiil AspvctH of tlio Cnsu.
Judge Ferguson said that ho could not ex
press an opinion ns to llio locality of any act
of the council In milking nn appropriation for
this purpose , as ho was not familiar with Ibo
city charter , and furthermore was unwilling
lo opross an opinion in advance on a matter
that might como before him at some future
limo In his judicial capacity. While ho
linow nothing of the legal aspect of Iho case ,
nnd therefore could not express himself on
that point , ho said that bo was very much in
favor of tailing all steps possible to piuvrnt
disease. Ho bad cleaned up bis own nroin-
noi and thouahl tlial tuo health matter had
been looked after very generally in his
neighborhood , and ho hoped that a public
cleaning would not be overlooked.
City Attorney Council expressed the
opinion that tbo council could make an up-
piopriation If they had anything to appro
priate , but said that unfortunately the con
dition of the general fund precluded the
possibility of securing any assistance from
that source. His Idea wus that the bust way
of cleaning up th < ? city was to huvo every
man and woman self-conslltutod a committee
of ono to sco Unit their own premises were
put In goou condition , and If tnnt was done
the city would uo put in tip-top shape. Ho
believed that tbo police should uricst nil
property owners wno did not clean up their
jnemises , and sco thai Iboy were prosecuted
and lined.
Dr. Clnrku Canon , cx-commisslonor of
heallb , said Ibul It would require $10,000 lo
clean the cllv as It should be none. It would
require that amount if Iho money was placed
where it should bo undoxnonued judiciously ,
but nol if a day's wages was paid for half u
day'n work.
Chcilcru'H ComIn- , Sure ,
"If Iho cholera comes to Omaha , and
I have no doubt tnat It will , " said the
doctor , "the llrst places that it will strike
are the wretchedly llltnv quarters in
the eastern nan of the city. It is in
Just such localities as those thai tha disease
thrives nnd Increases , and It is there , lee ,
thai Its mortality U the greatest , l do not
expect to sco any great run of the cholera in
turn country this year , mid for thai mailer I
do not tbluU Ihat it Is half as bad in Russia
as it will Ko next rear. It never has as big a
run Iho llrit year as It does the second. It
seems to sort of break thu ice , so to speak ,
the llrst squsoii and get Iblngs in readiness ,
ud then it cuts loose tlio following year and
gets in Us Hardest work. The trouble Is going
to be with the clothing of immigrants from Iho
infected districts. It will bo almost Impos
sible lu disinfect It nil thoroughly , and thu
disease will bo brought on vessels on which
It did not manliest Itself ut nil. Cnolcra is
not so fatal as diphtheria , but it is not so
common aud pauplo are more afraid of It.
Tbo treatment for It Is to give iho saline * * , ns
tbo tendency of thu disease is to take the
Rcrutn out of tbo blood , and drv up thu life
lluld. "
Dr. S. K. Towne , deputy commissioner of
health , said that much has roen done in ibo
way of cleaning up the city , but that much
81111 remained lo do ; that the garbage piles
had been gotten In very fnir.shnpu , but thnt
Ihero was still a great dual of innnuru loft In
tha alleys , and that there were many wells
that ought to bo condemned and tilled up.
Ilo thought that { 10,000 would put the city
In llrst rata condition. Ho said that iho con
dition down on tbo south bottom was indeed
frightful , fully as bau us shown by Tnu Bni : ,
nci ho was certain that tftero would bo nn
nwful nest ol cholera llioio shortly after its
arrival in thu city.

"Cholera does not thrive in a dry locality , "
ho buld , "but. down tbero whom It Is low ,
dump and win , it would develop ulurmlnglv.
U'hu personal habits o ( tbu donl/eus ot the
Mums are so lillhy Unit it would invite the
disease , and after it gnl among tliein It would
curry them oil by scores , us their systems
lire not In condition tu successfully combat
it , 1 dun'l see how It Is possible to keep out
tbo disease , us In order to do so a perfect sys
tem of qimr.intlno and Ihofough disinfection
of u'.l ' clothing must bo kept up until winter
nets In next year. It Is almost sure ID get In ,
and the thing for us to do , therefore ,
is lo have our city no clean nod nil
our surroundings to unfavorable for
disease that wn can prevent Its
spread in our midst. U will gobnruwith
Chicago , for that city Is In a fearful condi
tion. They had over 1JO ) deaths from tv-
phonl fever last year , wbllo Now York , with
ever u third moro population , bad but ilTO ,
In January Chicago baa Ull deaths from the
disease , nearly u many us Now York had
for the year. The run of that disenso shows
tbu condition of thu city. The trouble with
us has boon and U , thu if card of Health has
no authority to go nhcad and do cleaning and
charge It against iho property ns u tax or
special ussebHinont. A roiolulion has now
boon prepared and will bu introduced nt the
next moating of the city council that \v 11

can compel properly irwners to cui
the weeds , not only on tludrlots , but on al
lidlolnlng streets nnd ullorti , or pay us for
doing iho work. 1 his will help us u great
deul , as u lot of garbage is now thrown Into
the weeds unii till knowledge of it disclaimed
by property owners , and bosldes this tbuic
lire many eases of this kind thnt wu are un
able to 11 ml , which of coutso Increasns the
unhealthy condition ot the city. If we uro
given the authority to make.property owners
rouiovo ibolr refuse and garbngo ana cut iho

to combat the cholera vury successfully. "

Haprosontntlvos of the city nnd the Union
Pdclllo olllclals mot yesterday nt tbo city
engineer's ofllco In conference upon points of
difference between tbo municipality and the
railroad looking to a completion ot tbo union
depot. Tbero word present President Kim-
ballot the union depot company , Goner.il
Solicitor Thurstou of the Union Paelllo. City
Attorney Council , City Engineer Kosowulor ,
cx-Muyor Charles 11. Drown , Councilman
Sol 1'rlnco , Peter Klsassor and EJ IIowoll ,
City Attorney Connell contended that the
railroad had on many past occasions violated
the ordinances under which they hold lands
lu the city of Omaha , to which Mr. Thunton
entered a general dental. He stated that tbo
courts were open and bad boon open for
yours to test tbo realtors at issue and ho had
no hesitancy In saving that tbo railroad bad
performed ovcry contract which It hud
ngrcod to.
Then cntno up the Ola Man of the Sea tbo
bridge question and tbo attitude of the
Union Pacific company toward tbo otber
loads attempting to ontcr tbo city of Omatin
via tha Uuloa 1'aclllc brldgo. Mr. Council
then read from the grant uiviug to the Union
Pud Ha the right of terminals provided the
company would bring other trains of other
roads across the bridge , at compensation
mutually ngroed upon. This Mr. Thurjton
bald buil boon done oy his road a.s the papers
In thu Uock Island and Milwaukee would
show.
Thurston .Stiltua tliu-lHsiio.
Mr. Thui-ston said in a running tallc : "Tho
situation about tbo union depot is this. Wo
arranged to allow all roads deslrinir admis
sion to come In on the ground lloor for CDIU-
ponsnttou , and wo ijnvp the building of tals
depot to an Independent company. At thu
outset wo wore mot by the proiiosltion that
wo could not convoy the aopot grounds to nn
Independent company. Of course wo were
willing to allow the Durllnpton company to
build n depot on our grounds , but thay were
not Inclined to.do so. It the city of Omaha
wants u union depot the title to thn ground
will huvo to DO cleared up. Wo can go ahead
nnd llx up n depot there that will
bo commensurate with our needs.Vo can
shut the UurlliiKton out under our franchise.
U'e do not nsk anything at the hands of the
city , but if the city is desirous to buvo the
uepat completed the course to bo puisuad is
very plain. "
Mr. Connell stated that while ho was not
authorized to nmke any proposition he hud
made a proposition to Mr. ICelloy lu order to
get nt some o.isis to work upon :
The city to walvo its call tor the bridge toll
arbitration bond" .
The city to walvo its call for the depot
maintaining ooncts.
The city to convey the union depot grounds
to the proper company.
The railroad t to waive the ? loOOUO depot
bonds voted by the city.
Tbo railroads to rolniqutsn claim to the
land known us the IVluspcur triauglo aud
fenced In by the city.
Mr. Thtirston s.ild that his people wanted
to build tbo depot and had gone to work in
goou luith to build it , had torn up the old
depot and bud received from tbo citv
encouragement , but they were Hindered by
private pjrtlos through Injunction. Ho
wanted tbo title to the grounds to be cleared
up and thought that If this was uono'nnd the
suits withdrawn tbo dopnt would bo built.
Wane the Tltlo Cluuruil ,
As to the accretion ho was willing to glvo
the citv the land , resorvlnir n reasonable
right-of-way through it which is given by
ordinance. But to do that bo wanted tbo
city to contlm the title to tbo bottom
tom lands , that whtlo bo had no
doubt nbojl tbo title vesting in the com
pany bo wanted to avoid the periodical
cry through the newspapers that the Union
Pacific was holding land that it had no
title to.
Mr. Connnll generally thoucht tbo proposi
tion u fair ono , although bu expressed a
doubt about tbo bottom lands and particu
larly the blades L , N. O , P , Q , as to con-
llrmlne tboTitlo of the road In these.
Mr. Thnrston replied ihat bis peonlo had
always these blocks In vlow for future use ,
but Ihought that they were not tbo key to
the situation. These blocks were convoyed
in ISO'J , with n proviso thnt "in case the eastern -
orn terlnlnus ot the Union Pacillo railroad on
tbo Missouri river shall not bo located and
continued within onn and n quarter miles of
iMirnam street In said city ot Omaha , than ,
and in that case , the nremisos hereby con
voyed shall revert to , and become reinvested
in said cllv. "
Mr. Brown in speaking ns n citizen said
that ho understood Mr. Tburston's proposi
tion to mean that the title to the depot
grounds bo cleared up by being quit-claimed
lo Iho Union Pacific railroad , In order to
nvola the condilioiis of the Suunders deed ,
lie thought that lo quit-claim would hardly
ho a business nroposltion , for bo held that
the stipulations in the Saunders duod were
vital to thu Interests of the city.
He said ho would not make
a contract or in anywise glvo to the railroad
any forloituro of rlghl which would work
against tbo best Interests of the people. Ilo
contended thai to divest tbo deed of its
revorslduary uluuso would simply allow the
railroad company lo do what they ploascd
with the grounds. He thought the easiest
wny out , of the diniculty would be for
tbo Union Pnclllc and Burlington to unite la
j building tbo depot without tbo formation of
n uopot company.
l.llllo HOJIO for bottlomnnt.
Mr. Thuraton. however , cracked the nut
by saying thai llnancial reasons would prevent -
vent the two companies Iroin building a
depot us originally planned. He suld Hint
his pcoplo did not propose to erect a depot
nnd furnish crnunds Jor other roads unless
compensated , that under the Saundars deed
the Union Paelllo was not compelled to con-
etrucl a depot for use other thuu Itself ,
City Engineer Kojoualer , after listening to
tbu talk , said that as bo understood it the
Union Pacilic wanted u quit claim deed to
the depot K-ounus In oruur to got u clour
title to go into thu money murltct for the snlo
thcbO bonds , mid ho wuutml lo Know why
Ibul could nol bo dono.
Mr. Tbunton said that his people did not
want to abrognta the terms cf the Uuundors
deed'but wanted a conveyance to the rail
road company relieving It of any action In
iratisfcrrin ? ibo depot grounds to the depot
company.
Then the gentlemen drifted Into a desul
tory tnlic about "title , " "reversion , " "quit
claim1 "legal conveyances , " and other legal
plir.ibos to the exclusion of the proposition in
question.
But Mr. Connell llnnily said : "Why not
release on tha triangle nnd lot tbo other
questions go for u luiuro tiiiii ) or tor the
courts to settle. As it looks lo mo wo are
fartheraway than over from reaching n con
elusion. 1 have thrown out several sugges
tions and they huvo nut boon favor
ably considered. Now I 'am willing to
lot tbingj go as they have pone iinO
lot the Injunction suit come up for adjust ,
went. "
Mr. 1'rlnco wanted the attorneys to got to
gether privately and decide upon u basis
of settlement , but Mr. Connell thought
It would bo useless as Mr. Tbura-
Uscd in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard
on's proposition was a J'lg handled
iITnlr anil virtually overturned the
former proposltlort.no which Mr. Thurston
reipondcd , "I nnvuscolilng nothing nt the
r/nndsof thoclty Intnls matter. If theydon't
want a union dopotmvo will build n depot for
ourselves.1
More talk followoil until It was llnolly ar
ranged that Mcssn. Connell nnd Thunton
should got toRotbenand arrangetbo details
( or Iho convoyanoa of tbo propnrty to the
Union Depot company , and there the matter
rests.
