Doetora Disagree.
That doctors can disagree was demon
strated at the meeting of the City Board
of Health yesterday. A little son of Bert
Llnch, 808 Pierce street, was recently re
ported 111 with smallpox and the family was
quarantined. Mr. Llnch objected to being
confined to his home and called In Dr. A.
P. HanChett and two other doctors. They,
it seems, diagnosed the case as one of
chlckenpox and not smallpox. City Physi
cian Tlnley pronounced the case smallpox.
Dr. Hanchett, who Is a member of the
State Board of Health, submitted a com
munication to the board yeaterday In which
he declared the case one of chlckenpox
only and requested that the quarantine be
raised. Dr. Tlnley stated to the board
that In his opinion It was a very clear case
of smallpox and Dr. Hanchett's communi
cation was ordered placed on file and the
quarantine will not be lifted for the pres
ent. N. Y. Plumbing Co. Tel. J90. Night, F667.

DOWNSPOUTS TO BE CHANGED
Ho Longer t Be Permitted to Fur Water
Upon the 8idewalk.
CONTRACT LET FOR CITY COAL SUPPLY
Vine Street, Which la to D Paved,
Reduced to Width from Thirty
Eight to Thirty Feet Wordy
War Over Brick.
The ordinance relating to downspouts Is
to be rigidly enforced. This was the deci
sion reached nt the meeting of the city
council yesterday afternoon when attention
was called to the fact that a number of
owners of buildings on the principal busi
ness streets had so fnr paid no attention to
It. The ordinance, which gave owners of
buildings affected until September 1 com
ply with Its provisions, requires that all
downspouts must be so constructed us" to
either carry the water Into the sewer direct
or under the sidewalk Into the gutter. In
no case shall a downspout be permitted to
empty the water over the sidewalk, as Is
the case on so many of the large build
ings. City Marshal Richmond waa In
structed to at once look into the matter
and see that the ordinance was enforced.
The contract for furnishing the city with
coal was awarded to the firm of Gilbert
Bros, on their bid of $3.65 per ton for Cen
tervllle lump in carload lots, f. o. b., with
40 cents per ton additional for delivery in !
the city aod 60 cents for delivery at the
Indian creek dredge. Some of tho alder
men at first were opposed to using such a
high priced coal for the new municipal
heating plant, being of the opinion that It
would be more economical to burn steam
coal. Gilbert Bros, will also supply auch
hard coal as la used In some of the Are
stations at 110.50 a ton, this being the regu
lar retail rate. Alderman Gilbert Is a
member of the firm securing the contract.
The contract for brick sidewalks waa
awarded to John Sklnkle and that for
cement walks to E. A. Wlekham. Skinkle's
bid on brick walks was: Four-foot walks,
32 cents a square foot, cash; six-foot walks,
45 cents cash, with 6 per cent added for
certificates on both classes of walk?. Wl 'k
ham's bid on cement walks was 14 8-10
cents a square foot cash and 16Va cents cer
tificates. Red are Width of Street. '
The request of property owners on Vine
street, which was ordered paved, that the
width be reduced from thirty-eight to
thirty feet, was granted, and Contractor
Wlekham was authorised to move the curb
ing four feet on each side of the street,
for which he will receive 7 cents a foot.
The cost of moving the curbing is to be
taxed with the paving against the abutting
property. Contractor Wlekham has a large
quantity of brick on the ground and In
formed the council that he Intended com
mencing the paving of this street Monday.
At the last meeting of the city council
Alderman Tlnley declared that the side
walk Inspector had complained to him that
he had rejected a quantity of soft brick
hauled by Contractor Wlekham for side
walks on Avenue C between Twepty-flrst
and Twenty-aecond and that later "some
one," whom Alderman Tlnley stated he
understood was the city engineer, had told
the contractor that the brick was good
enough and permitted him to lay them.
That he had given any such instructions
City Engineer Etnyre yesterday afternoon
warmly denied and protested against such
statements being made without any founda
tion. A heated passage of words ensued
between Alderman Tlnley and City Engi
neer Etnyre. which was resumed after the
adjournment of the council meeting, and
for a while It looked as if the dispute
might end in a personal encounter, but this
was averted by other aldermen Interposing.
The city engineer was Instructed to notify
Contractor Harden to' replace all soft brick
on the sidewalks on Twenty-third street
between Broadway and Sixth avenue with
proper material.
Pavement Is Damaged.
Contractor Wlekham complained that the
water and gas companies and plumbers in
general tore up the brick paving without
securing the necessary permits, with the
result that the paving was Improperly re
laid and in a short time the streets were
full of holes and depressions. The city
marshal was Instructed to look into the
matter and see that the ordinance covering
It be enforced.
Aldermen Younkerman, Gilbert and Olson
wero appointed a special committee with
power to act In the matter of changing
the grade of the sidewalk on the north side
of Broadway between Main and Scott
streets. New cement walks are to be laid
In front of several of the buildings on this
block and It is desired to have the grade
uniform along the entire block, which at
present it is aot.
IteKratlna Is MkM.

APPEAL FOR t'HHlflTf. HOME
Friend of Orphanage Aaked to Assist
In C'oatlnaln Work.
The death of Rev. J. G. Lemen, founder
and manager for twenty-one ytars of the
Christian Home orphanage in this city,
where 226 children have to be cared for Is
a matter of deep concern to the friends
of the Institution In this city. They realise
that every effort possible must be made
to keep the Institution going but this can
not be done without funds. In view of the
extraordinary situation they decided yes
terday on Issuing the following appeal to
the friends of the Institution:
To the Friends of the Christian Home:
Now In the time of all others when the
home nfeds our aid. The Irreparab'e loss
It has sustained In the death of its founder
and manager mnkes it especially necessary
that we act promptly In sending remit
tances. Mr. H. R. Lemen. the assistant manager,
haa charge of the work. There are at pres
ent 23o chllilren in the home depending
upon the home band. He will need every
encouragement In his enlarged Held. He
has been assistant manager for a long
time and Is familiar with the work and la
compentent and worthy of our support,
of unquestioned Integrity, energetic and
has every accomplishment necessary to
carry out the stupendous work of the
orphnnage. This he cannot do except by
the united effort of all the friends of the
home.
The work of the home cannot stop for
a day. Its founder and for twenty-nne
years Its manager, and his beloved wife,
who devoted their lives to the work, in
tended it for a!l time. All the property Is
held by the home In lis corporate capacity,
and upon their son, whose appointment as
manager was reaffirmed by ills acceptance
of the position at his father's request in
his last hours, now rests tho responsi
bility to carry on the work.
And In his behalf, and In behalf of the
orphan children recommend that the
home hand and every friend send aid at
once, that at this time when the weight
of responsibility rests so hravlly upon him,
that he have the encouragement of support
and that the work may not be crippled
through lack of funds to meet obligations
and current expenses before Thanksgiving

Admits Stealing; Horse.
The three men charged with stealing three
horses, the property of Joe Stevens, member
of a gang of gypsies encamped on Broadway
and Thirty-second street, who were ar
rested Thursday afternoon by Sheriff Mor
gan of Mills county, were brough back to
Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon by De
tective Callaghan. They gave the names of
Cleave Bowen, John NUan and George
Clucas. The three horses, a delivery wagon
and a set of harness were recovered.
Clucas was captured near Glenwood with
the entire stolen outfit, while Bowen and
NUan were found in a camp at Pacific
Junction. Clucas admits stealing tho
horses, but says he waa drunk at the time
and did not realise what he waa doing. He
Implicates Bowen in tho theft of the horses
and says that Bowen took the wagon and
harness. The harness. It has been since
learned, was stolen from the barn of F.
Peterson on Twentieth street and Fourth
avenue. The owner of the wagon has not
been discovered, but the police believe It
waa stolen in South Omaha.
Bowen and NUan claim to have been
working in the Dakota harvest fields. Clu
cas, from letters found on him, haa been
recently living In Lincoln and Omaha.
When Stevens reported the theft of the
horses to the police he offered a reward of
$23 for their recovery, but is now trying to
back out of paying it. Chief Richmond has
doclded to hold Stevens as a witness and
he will be placed under bond.
James Haa Hla Troubles.
B. F. James, colored, has a whole lot of
trouble on his hands. Late Thursday night
ho waa arrested on complaint of Mrs. Mag
gie Tulose, also colored. She charged James
with threatening to shoot her with a re
volver. In police court yesterday morning
James was sentenced to thirty days on
bread and water for being drunk and dis
turbing the pence, and In addition waa fined
$100 and coats for maintaining a disorderly
house, evidence being Introduced to show
the character of the house conducted by
James at Twenty-first street and Broadway.
This did not, however, end tils troubles.
His wife, Mrs. Blanche James, went before
Justice Ouren and filed an Information
againat him, charging him with assaulting
her with a beer bottle. Justice Ouren noti
fied the police to hold James, as he would
take the case up against him ns soon as he
completed the police court sentences.

ONAWA, la.. Oct.1 28.-Spe;ial.)Onawa
haa a war over the city scalei recently
put In, An ordinance was passed providing
a pena'ty of not more than tioo for weigh,
tng over 500 pounds on other scales. Some
objection waa made by Northwestern and
Illinois Central elevator men and also by
other partiea, but they continued to weigh
over the city scales until yeaterday, when
J. D. Gray at the Illinois Central elevator
refused . to weigh longer over the city
scales, and was p'.aced under arrest for
violation of the city ordinance. It is un
derstood that a test case will be made
and the matter taken to the district and
supreme courts at once. The ordinance
Is a copy of the one in force at M'ipleton
for some years and city authorities claim
It will atand the test in the courts, while
on the contrary the elevator and ral'road
men aay they will knock it out as soon a
it reaches the courts for a decision. Many
citizen and farmer are lined up on the
question and there is considerable interest

Mardered.
(From a' Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 2S. (Speclol.) State
Dairy Commissioner Wright and the dairy
men of the state express themselves ns
well satisfied with the showing made by
Iowa In the butter exhibit at St. Louis
this year, and although hoping Iowa might
carry off first honors in the final butter
contest, the fact that the state came so
close to it Is regarded as quite sufficient.
"We got second place," said Mr. Wright,
"but we rubbed Minnesota so hard that
there was little glory in It for the north
em state; and when we consider that we
spent $1,750 at St. Iyuls while Minnesota
spent upwards of $20,000 we ought to feel
very well content in Iowa. We had two
men from thla department engaged In
working up Interest among the butter mak
ers, while Minnesota had eleven men at
work. We showed butter a quarter of a
point below the highest, which came from
Minnesota, and two samples which led all
other states save Minnesota. New York
won the banner for best average, but had
only eleven samples, while we had nearly
one hundred. We got two gold medals for
high average of Individual exhibitors for
the season. We brought to Iowa the silver
medal for second best package of creamery
butter shown. The silver cup for highest
average at the scorings for the season,
which went to Iowa, was for an average
far above all others."
Strange Case of Disappearance.
There is much excitement unions the
Swedish people of the city over the mysteri
ous disappearance of Miss Anna Anderson
last night. She was a domestic in the serv
ice of Mrs. Joseph, In the north part of the
city. She and her sister walked over to
the east side to church last night and, re
turning together, separated at the Vic
toria hotel to go to their reapectlve homes.
Anna' never reached her home and nothing
has been heard of her. She would have to
walk nearly a mile from where she was
last seen. The sister declares she had quite
a bit of money with her and she believes
she has been robbed and killed.
Decides on Amended Law.
The supreme court decided a caBe In sup
port of a law which has already been re
pealed, to amend the defect which became
visible on thiB identical case. In the case
of Sarah Kuhn, who Is serving a life sen
tence for the murder of her husband, she
had claimed her share of the estate after
his death and the court now awards it
to her on the ground that the Iowa law
which prohibits an Inheritance from one
who has been murdered to one who has
caused the death does not apply to the case
of a wife, who does not In fact Inherit from
her husband. The legislature discovered
that the law did not cover this caBe and
last winter amended the law so it would
cover such cases. Mrs. Kuhn will get
about $1,000 by this decision.
Court Nearly Vp with Work.
Chief Justice Deemer went to St. Louis
last night and before going stated that the
Iowa supreme court, which a few years ago
was nearly a year and a half behind In Its
work. Is now caught up as nearly as it
would be advisable for the court to be, and
that there Is now no reason why lawyers
cannot get decisions In their cases always
within six months or less from the time of
appeal. He Issued an order that at the
January term of court all caaes filed prior
to August 10 be Included on the docket.
This Is the nearest the court has come to
being up to the attorneys for many years.
