QUESTION OF FUNDS A LIVE ONE
Special Levy 'ot l,lkcl-, lint Jloncj- I
.Nrrdrd to Carry Out Any I'lnn
fur Public Sanitation that
.May lie Adopted.
It In expected that the newly oigaulzcd
Hoard of Health will meet this afternoon
for the purpose of formulating a net of
rules nnd regulations. At the first meet;
tng of the board a, committee wns ap
pointed to look nftcr this mutter nnd the
suggestions of the various members will
be compiled ur noon ns adopted. The
health rules governing several cities of
larger size than South Omnha arc bolng
considered with n view to securing tho
host regulations that can be arranged. It
Is safoto say that the rules will bo strin
gent and an effort will he made to pro-
vide suitable penalties for violations
Colonel .1. B. Wntklns. a member of tho
board, said yesterday that the essential
thing Jutt now Is the cleaning of tho
streets and alleys. Ilo believes In making
this compulsory.
"Notices should bo served." said Colonel
Wtklns, ''upon residents where the alleys
or backyards are dirty and In such cases
twenty-four hours should be given to clean
up. In caso tho order of the board Is Ig
nored arrests should follow. The city
must be cleaned up and the practice of
throwing refuse Into the alleys nnd streets
must bo stopped."
Naturally It will fall on (he sanitary
Inspector to serve such notices, hut as ho
Is engaged In looking after contagious and
Infectious diseases It Is prhbablo thnt tho
mayor will be nske'd to detail a police offi
cer to servo tho notices.
As for tho funds to carry on this work, It
Is tinderstood thnt the charter permits
the council to make a special levy In addi
tion to the regular 1901 levy. It Is hardly
probable that this will be done, as tt Is
thought that tho money needed ean be
secured In somo other way. There Is still
vn balanco In tho general fund, and some
of this money may bo used. Tho details
of securing funds Itavo not yet been do
elded tiDon.
Inspector Jones Is kept busy these days
looking after cases called to his attention
nnd fumigating houses where patients In
quarantine nro discharged. Ilo said yes
terday thnt If the bonrd would glvo htm n
man to do the fumigating, he could find
tlmo to serve notices for a genernl clean
ing up. It Ih thought best to employ n
pnlUemnn for the serving of notices In
caso It enn be arranged.
One of the Important regulations will bo
section compelling physicians to make
prompt reports of contagious diseases. It.
ts stated thnt' some of the doctors are dil
atory In thla matter and the Immediate,
filing of such reports will be demanded by
the board.
Trouble About Cashing: Wnrrnnta.
. Warrants for November pay wero Issued
to the police force yesterday, hut the
members of tho force found some d 1 111 -'cully
In disposing of them. The banks
refused to take the warrants, even at it
discount, nnd the city treasurer nlso stated
. thnt he could not cash them at this tlmo..
Some of the warrants were finally placed
with n business firm at a discount of 5 per
cent.
There remains tn the police fund Jusr

roll Is made the present force can be paid

Janitor nt the city hall, be transferred to
the same fund. With these two reductions
the fund will hold until January 1 nud
will come out even. It is thought thnt the
council will order tho changed suggested
made in order to prevent the overdrawing

Attorneys state that tho ordinance passed
by tho city council on December 3, 1000. In
relation to the locating of buildings In
streets cannot be enforced on account of an
error In the publication. There Is nn old
ordinance on tho book, however, which still
stands nnd under this ordinance certain
nqunttcrH will bo called upon to move. The
discovery that tho 1900 ordinance was void
was only mado yesterday and a caso in
ono of the justice courts was dismissed
oh this account. It Is thought that tho
other cases now in contemplation will be
brought under tho old misdemeanor ordi
nance. If this cannot bo done It will be
nrccssory to draft a new ordinance. Somo
of the city officials fear, that unless some
thing Is done soon certain Hquatters will

BENEFITS OF CONSOLIDATION
W. (.'. Shrlver Pursues Hip Kml Hnthcr
Tlinn the Menus to lie Af
enniptlslird. The officers of the Real Estate exchange
re anxious to place before the residents of
the county their idea upon the subject of
the proposed consolidation ot the city and
county governments and object to any In
ference that tho proposed consolidation car
ries with It any Increase In the taxes levied
upon country property, either real or per
sonal, Said W. O. Shrlver, secretary of the
exchange:
"I believe that when the voters of tho
country precincts and villages understand
the object of the Real Estate exchange and
the promoters of the consolidation Idea
their objection to the plan will vanish. In
the first place, I do not know whether the
Intentions of the exchange can be carried
out without n constitutional amendment or
not, and I do not Intend to consider the
matter at thN time, for that has been re
ferred to a committee on which are some of
the best lawyers In the state. What I dc-
Ire to say will apply to the practical in
tention ot the promoters of the Idea.
"In the first place, consolidation Is not
an end. but tho means to nn end. The
object Is the reduction of taxes, not only
In the city but lu tho county. There are
useless offlceM In the city hall nnd In tho
court honse, the taxpayers of the city bear
part of the expense of both, whllo the
taxpayers of the county outside of tho
cities bear part of the expenso of ouc
alone. Now, I believe thnt In any plan
of consolidation provlsfou will be made to
havo the taxes raised In the rountry pre
cincts apply only to the expenses of the
county outside of the city, as the expeuses
of the dlfferpnt school districts are paid by
taxation In these districts; that whllo the
administration of the government of both
county and city Is Invested In but' one
set of officers and the fewer of them the
better, a plan can be dpvlsed by which
the country precincts and tho villages shall
be required to pay but their proportion of
the expenso of the office. A special deputy
In somo of the ofilces might bo appointed
to attend to the work as applied to the
country and his expenses be paid out of tho
taxos raided in the country taxing
districts. All money raised by tnxa-
tlon In the country districts should be ex
pended upon country schools, country ronds
and brldgosnnd such objects as particu
larly apply to that, section of tho county,
while tho taxes raised in the city nhouid
npply to the matntennnco of the general
government which will havo jurisdiction
over the entire county. Having reduced tho
number of high salaried officers and placed
the Government on nn economical basis
there would be a resulting reduction In
taxes In all parts of the county nnd tho
country would receive as much benefit rela
tively as the cities. In nddltion to this the
country voters would have a direct olco In
tho choice of the municipal ofllrers and In
many cone's would be In a position to select
men who, coming from tho county, would
have nn especial Interest In tho welfare
of the county outside of the cities."

after tho visit of tho secretaries, which Is
expected some tlmo before the first of the
year.
Who Hie Secretin les Arc,
The secretaries referred to nro those of
the American Christian Missionary society,
tho Foreign Christian Missionary society
nnd tho Christian Woman's Ronrd of Mis
sions, which, with such auxiliaries as the
Educational society and tho Negro Mis
sionary society, practically constitute tho
conventions and consequently occupy the
nine days of tho sessions.
Combating another suggestion of Secre
tary Smith's, there waa Introduced nnd
adopted a resolution to the effect that the
local arrangements committee would agree
to furnish ns many copies of an official
program, to equal In design and workman
ship tho programs furnished the Minneap
olis convention, without expenso to the
convention or to the national board, but
with the understanding that It (tho local
committee) would oppose ns an unfriendly
act tho attempt of anyone else to securo
advertising or other financial support In
any of the three cities for a similar pub
lication. This, too. Is something of a de
parture, ns heretofore the official programs
havo been gotten' out hy tho missionary
officers nnd not the local commlttccr.
At last night's meeting there was nlso
launched n new publication, the general
committee authorizing n sub-romnilttee to
at once begin nrrangcmentH for Its pub
lication. It is to , appear scml-mouthly
from now until after the convention and
perhap become permanent. Its prlmnry
purpose to -be the promotion of the con
vention and of the church tnterents of the
thrco cities.
Prlsen for Stories.
At the suggestion of the chairman of the
evening, C. S. Paine, who hns been chnlr-
man of the general committee since a few
hours after Omaha was glieii the conven
tion by the delegates at Minneapolis, ar
rangementa were mado to offer three prizes
of $15, $10 and $3 each for the three best
stories of not more than 1,000 words ench
promoting the convention nnd the three
cities Tho stories nro to bo given ns gen
oral n publication ns possible In both tho
church and tho newspapers.
A motion to hnvo the chairman select
a soclnl committee of 1,000 local peoplo
to direct tho work of entertnlnlng delegates
was adopted nftcr being amended to read
that the chairman should select such num.
her as he deemed best.
Letters of congratulation nnd encourage
ment wero read from promluent workers In
other states, among their predictions being
one that the convention In Omaha would bo
the largest In tho Disciples' history, with
tho one exception of the Jubilee.
Tho Associated Press Is to bo asked to
carry tho proceeding!) of this convention
more fully than It has those of tho pro
vlous sessions, nnd to that end.lt was pro
posed that In every town In Nebraska,
Iowa nnd surrounding states petitions re
questing full reports bo circulated among
all church people and such others ns may
be favorable, and tho petitions then filed
with tho local newspapers. Chairman Palno
expects this to havo weight, as ho states
that in Nebraska the Disciples alono num
bcr 18,000, in Iown 50,000 and In tho Btntes
of this particular section .100,000.

Omega
Oil
You can tell by tho
smell of Omega Oil
that it is different
from any other lini
ment you ever saw.
It has a peculiar
and pleasant odor.
Besides being the
best remedy in the
world for stopping
pains, it is also
the nicest to use.
It is not made of
turpentine or ammo
nia, but the body of
it is a pure vegeta
ble oil. Into this
oil is put four other
ingredients, one of
which is a green
herb that stops pain
a good deal on the
same principle that
a puff of wind blows
out a lamp, or water
quenches a lire.
