The special committee composed of mem
bers of the cltyi council and the Commercial
Club which has been cngag'd In Investigating
iho deficiency In water pressure and other
fire fighting facilities concluded Its delibera
tions at the council chamber last night and
decided on a report which will recommend
r
a radical reform. U will recommend the re
tirement of Chief Qalllgan , preparatory tea
a thorough reorganization of the flre depart
ment and the addition of new men and ap
paratus.
Tha only witness examined last night was
Captain II. E. Palmer , who was supposed
to represent ths Insurance companies. He
was asked to tell what he knew about the
big flrcs that have occurcd In the city during
the past few years. Ho testified at length
as to the circumstances of the Omaha Hard
ware company flre , where ho said the flre-
men wer * fifteen minutes getting a Rtream
on the building. Then they were unable to
Cot a stream above the second story. At the
Umo of the flre In ths Omaha Republican
building thcro was an absolute lack of water
pressure and the building was destroyed by
a flro that could have been easily quenched
If there had been a HUCIclent pressure.
At the Farnam Street theater flr.'i the fire
men were from flvo to eight minutes In get
ting a stream on the flre. U was alleged
that If the- firemen had got Into the building
nt the start the blaze could have been con
fined to the stage.
The Morse-Coe flre was a shining example
of bad management and Insulllelsnt water
pressure.
INSURANCE COMPANIES FBAnPUL.
The witness then went on to declare that
the leading Insurance companies had con
stantly shown a disposition to withdraw their
business from Omaha. Far three years the
losses paid In Omaha had amounted to twice
as much an the premiums. The companies
had complained both of the Insulllclcnt water
pressure and of bad management on th ? part
of the flro department. They cited the fact
that other cities of the slzo of Omaha had
twice as largo lire departments and expanded
twice as much In maintaining. Unless EOIIIC
radical action was taken fully CO per cent
of the Insurance business would bo with
drawn. During this tlmo rates had been ad
vanced fully 40 psr cent and this was n
direct burden on the men who owned prop
erty. The companies had agreed that If a
reform was Inaugurated those which hail
withdrawn their business would return anil
the last reduction In rates would bo with
drawn. The charg ? had also been made thai
there was a lack of discipline In the flre de
partment and that the chief was > not (11 ( foi
active service on account of bad health.
When asked what the Insurance companies
would require the witness said that the )
would be satisfied IT three new engines were
purchased , together with a sufficient amount
of hose and enough men to work them. The }
also want a larger main on Douglas street
and some additional hydrants In the business
district. They also want a man Imported
nnd placed at the head of the department
who Is familiar with flro fighting In big
. cities and with modern appliances.
' South Omaha cut an Important figure Ir
the matter according to the witness. Tin
companies depended on assistance from tin
Omaha flre department In calculating thcii
risks In South Omaha and on account of thi
weaknesaT'ot ' the Omaha department $300,001
In South Omaha Insurance Ijad been with
drawn during the past sixty days. If th <
packing houses could not get Insurance here
they -would have to move to BOIIIP other cltj
and Omaha was consequently Interested t <
"this extent. There had been u contlnua
tendency on the part of the companies t <
reduce their lines , and where agents wen
formerly free to write n line of $15,000 , thej
were now restricted to $5,000 or ICHK.
The witness admitted that some of- the InCreased -
Creased Imzards might bo charted 'to the In
crease'In the extent ofelectric wiring In
buildings. Three or four years ago there
was little or no lighting by electricity In
business buildings. There were probably n
dozen risks In the city on which the risks
had been advanced on account of alleged de
fects la wiring.
OPINION OF THK COMMITTEE.
After hearing Captain Palmer's testimony
the members of the committee went Into ex
ecutive session to agree upon n report. The >
were closeted for a little over an hour am !
then , It was stated , that they had sub
stantially agreed upon a report which would
probably be unanimous. The report will
bo drawn up at a meeting to bo held at Mr
Montgomery's otllce at 11 o'clock today , am !
will probably bo presented to the city coun
cil this evening. It will find In substanci
that there Is a lack of water pressure am
that the present system should ba reinforced
by larger mains and additional hydrants It
the business portion of the city. It will alec
declare that there Is a lack of efficiency Ir
the flro department both In regard to nunv
bcrs , apparatus and discipline. The pur
chase of at least three now steamers of tin
most powerful make will be recommended
together with additional hose and a matcrla
addition to the present force. It will asl
that a now chief bo employed nt once , win
must bo an expert , who has a thorougl
metropolitan experience and Is familiar will
the best methods. The new chief will bi
expected to effect a thorough reorganlzatloi
of the department.

vlvcs or lady friends to dine or lunch at any
line of day or after the opera , and bo as-
urcd of being served with the best that

ear and earned die gratitude of the male
nembcrs of Omaha's population by his ability
s a caterer , has Just opened the "Scharf
3afe , " for ladles and gentlemen. It Is
ocated In the new Schlltz building , on Slx-
ccnth street , very convenient to Boyd's opera
louse , as well as the business center. The

Ichly tiled and the paneled walls and cell-
UK finished with white and gold In the re *

In New York City , for five con
secutive years , the proportion
of Deaths from Consumption
has been three in every
Twenty Persons.
Epidemics of Cholera , Yellow I'cvcr ' and
other diseases of similar character , so ter
rible in their results , occasion wide spread
alarm and receive the most careful consid
eration for their prevention and cure , while
consumption receives scarcely n thought ,
yet Ihe number or their victims Rinks into
insignificance when compared with those of
consumption. Comparatively few people
know what to do for their loved ones when
they see them gradually lose strength , lose
color , manifest feeble vitality and emacia
tion , or develop a cough , with difficult
breathing- hemorrhage. Cod liver oil
was for a lotiff time given in all such cases ,
but the poor success attending its use
coupled with its nauseating taste has led
many practitioners , as well as the public at
large , to place their main reliance in Dr.
Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery. It de
serves early attenlioii and will prove eflcct-
tial not in every casebut in a large percentage
of cases , and we believe that fully 98 per
cent , of all cases of consumption can , if taken
in the early stages of the disease , be cured
with Ihe " Discover } ' . " Dr , Pierce does not
ask people lo believe until they have in
vestigated for themselves. A pamphlet has
been published having the names , addresses
nnd pholographs'of nJargc number of those
cured of consumption , bronchitis , lingerinpr
coughs , asthma , chronic nasal catarrh and
kindred maladies which will be mailed free
to those sending for it with their name and
address upon a postal card , or you can have
a medical treatise , in book form of 160
pages , mailed to you , on receipt of nddress
and six cents in B tamps. Yon can then
write Uiose cured and learn Ihcir experi
ences.

That's n mystery. Take ( Payne ) ami work out the two
missing words. Cut It out nml bring it to the Nebraska , stat
ing your height , weight ami appetite , whether married or
willing to be , and in return the first successful answer will
receive first prl/.e , 4ia guess on how soon the cunal will bo
built. " Kach answer must be accompanied by elcventecn
cents worth of Columbian stamps.
Little folks' clothes arc nearly everywhere sold on the
same ridiculous guessing plan. Guess it is worth so much
more , because the patterns are desirable , or perhaps Sirs. So
and So's boy wears one of 'em , and the demand might in
crease.
\Ve don't trouble ourselves about what others do , but
what we do. No guessing here. Small boys' suits arc
here A veil represented. I/.irgc collection of patterns and
styles , perhaps not the prettiest in the land , according to
some queer tastes , but they're the best from the best houses
in the country. Can't do any better unless we could com
municate with planet .Mars.
There is no guess work about our prices either the only
guessing we are at is how many new patrons each suit will
make. Our prices are a motto , "cheaper bought cheaper
