FIRE ESCAPES FOR LIBRARY
Trettt Itiid Dttermlted to Huts Ounoil
mi Act.
WILL UnGE THE MATTER PUBLICLY TONIGHT
Bnnnri ol to I.rc the Matter Drop,
hni tn !." Kry Mrntin In tfnvr
llif lliilMlnn Properly
As the municipal authorities do not seem
In ny hurry to move In the matter, Trustee
Balrrt of the public library will pall upon
the city council at It meeting tonight to
enforce the ordinance providing for the
erection of fire tseapes on public and other
buildings. The Merrlam block, In which
the public library la situated, Is still with
sut flro escapes and aa far as la known
the fire and light committee of tho City
council, which la understood to havo the
enforcing of tho ordinance In Its hands, has
not notified Mr. Merrlam to comply with
Its provisions.
The fire escape ordinance was passed In
August,' ISA!), and provides that all hulld
Inga within the corporal limits of the
:lty of Council Rluffa throe stories high
sr over and all opera houses, theaters,
hotels, public halls, lodgerooms, museums,
lecture rooms, public libraries, school
housert and buildings usod for places for
amusements of any kind and all buildings
wherein crowds of people arc Invited to
issemble for any purpose, and all hospitals
md conventa, shall bo provided with Btalr
way fire escapes.
For a while the ordinance was enforced
ind many of the. larger buildings In the
city -were equipped with tho required flro
sscapes, but none were ever placed on the
Merrlam block, which Is tbreo stories high
tnd covers almost a block of ground.
The trustees of the public llbrnry called
the attention of Mr. Merrlam to tho lack
of Are escapes and, this falling In Its pur
pose, they referred the matter to the city
:ouncll.
Large numbers of children gather In the
rooms occupied by the publlu library and
the trustees ars determined that flro cs
:apes shall be provided, at least at that
end of the building.
Whon asked yesterday why the ordinance
was not enforced as regards tho Merrlam
block Mayor Jennings said he had not
liven the matter much attention, supposing
that tho fire and light committee ought
to look after It. Trustee Ilalrd says he
will not let tho matter drop nod will use
very means In his power to have tho
library equipped with the proper fire es
capes. Davis sells glass.

Rr. W. J. Cslfee, pastor of the Broadway
Methodist church, preached his Thanksgiv
ing sermon yesterday morning to his con
gregation, as on Thanksgiving, on account
5f the union services, thero wll be no
servlc in the Broadway church. His topic
was "The Thanksgiving Psalm." He said:
"This la our annual week of thanksgiving;
let It be full of praise. In our homes, In
octal acd business circles, In our public
schools, on tho public highway and around
the altars of our churches, with everything
that lath breath, let us praise the Lord
Music Is the Attest way for man to praise
his Creator. If you do not believe It, read
the psalms of David, Israel's sweet singer.
We should believe In making much of tho
music In our churches, not only in choir
singing, but in congregational singing as
.well,
"With stringed instrument and trumpet,
with song, with aeollan harp soft am
aweet, and the loud sounding cymbal, It
the gentle murmurs of childhood and the
about of the strong, vigorous manhood of
our community, through the plaintive cry
of the invalid sufferer and the rollicking
glee of fresh, healthful youth, let Clod be
"praised."

Indicted county officials, which indictments
caused a sensation when announcea
few days ago, have been ms-
missed. Tho trial of Supervisors uar
grave and Williams was coromeuced, but
the court refused to admit testimony which
was deemed essential by the prosecution
and as soon as it was ruled out the county
attorney dismissed the cases. They were
accused of having made a deal with tho
Northwcatern railroad by which tho county
did about $400 worth of grading wnicn
ought to have been done at the company s
expense. It was shown that the members
of the board and other county officials In
terested received mileage on the railroad
as an Inducement to have tho work done In
this way. But the prosecution could not
form the connection between the work and
the mlleago books and the cases were
thrown out. One other case remains, that
against Insanity Commissioner Dovlne, but
It will go In tho same way. The termina

DES M01NE3, Nov. 24. (Speclal.)-The
Iowa delegation In congress will bo asked
to hav9 congress lake- some stepH looking to
a clearing up of the inevitable conflict of
authority on tho reservation of the Sac
and Fox Indians In Tama county. Tho res-
orvatlon la In different statun from any
other. The land belongs to the tribe of
Indiana In fee simple, as they bought It
from persons holding valid titles from the
government. It was not land set apart for
Indians, The trlbo placed tho control of thu
same In the slate of Iowa and the deeds
were hetd by the governor, but later the
state undertook to cede authority to the
United States and reserve police control,
but the federal court has decided this could I
not be done. Hence there Is n good deal
of uncertainty as to the attitude of tho state
and government toward theso Indians. Now
that a Serious problem has presented Itaulf
In regard to the control of the smallpov on
the- Indian lands the seriousness of the un
settled condition can be seen In stronger
contrast. The State Board of Health, with
the pcrmlsson of the secretary of tho In
terior, has taken charge of the smallpox
r.ltuatlon, but If tho Indians should resist
proper measures thero Is n question as to
what tho state hoard could or would do.
Accordingly the congreeslonal delegation Is
to be asked for some new legislation atfect-
Ing Just such cases. There Is great Indig-
nation In that part of the state near tha
Indian tribe over the enforced neglect of
tne smallpox epioemic, nui ncnncr mo im.u
authorities in towns near the Indians nor
tho State Board of Health could take action
and the government has no provision for a
smallpox emergency.

At tonight's meeting of the city council
It Is expected that thcie will he morn
trouble, about the proposed Plattsmouth
Telephone company's franchise. As the
ordinance now stands It la not satisfactory
to the Plattsmouth people and the same
may be said of tho city officials. Friends
of the Plattsmouth company will endeavor
to have some unKitdments made and
those who ore looking after the Interests'
of the city will offer amendments t.o that
by the time the ordinance. Is finally sub
mitted It will ho changed considerably.
In a communication to the city council
City Attorney Lambert explained that he
had spent a great deal of time on the or
dinance and considered that It protected
tho rights of the city In every way. Ho
requested as a special faor that no
changes or alterations be made which might
tend to make It Illegal, In splto of this re
quest the chances are that several amend
ments will b olfercd and possibly some of
them will be adopted,
In a statement made to The Heo a few
day ago an offlccr of tho Plattsmouth
company said that the company would wait
until It could Mibmlt tho proposition to the
voters at the spring election. From tin;
efforts being made to have alteratlous

Other matters to be considered tonight
will be the city physician and Hoard of

Dr. White Slntrri.
It has been given out unofficially that
Dr. YV. S. White Is to succeed Or. Janus
Kelly as county physician in South Omaha.
CommlflSlonor-elect O'Keeffe has said he In
clines to tho appointment of White. When
this Information became known yesterday
a great many democrats started on n still
hunt for O'Keeffe with protests In their
pockets. While those who protest do not
seem to have any particular candidate In
view, they do object to White, as he Is
considered entlroly too old for the position
and his popularity is considered to be ou
the wane.
A prominent democratic politician said
last night that If Mr. O'Keeffe appoluted
Dr. White there would be all kinds of
trouble brewing, as the party would not
accept the appointment without making a
protest. "What the people here want,"
said this politician, "is a physician who !s
up-to-dnte who enn handle cases at auy
time of the day or night. We want a
young man and Mr. O'Keeffo will be called
upon today In regard to this matter."
Whon Dick O'Keeffe wbb seen by a re
porter for The Bee last night ho sold that
he faored Whlto because of his supposed
influence. The new county commissioner
further said that ho had five applications
for the place, but he considered Dr. White
competent to do the work requited.
