Judge Reese said: "' v

TONE OF THE DOCTOR'S VOICE

tagrlon lianas on a Slender
Distinction.
Omaha physicians, who have a regard
for the financial welfare of patients will
hereafter exercise care in regard to the
manner In which they call upon -the city
physician to consult with them regarding
the nature of cases under treatment.
Under the opinion of the commissioner of
health the city physician Is entitled to
the usual physician's fee when he Is called
by another physician to examine a patient
as consulting physician, and if the patient
is able to pay the fee he may be held re
sponsible. On the other hand. If he la not
called into consultation, but to finally de
termine the nature of a disease under
treatment he Is entitled to no fee.
The difference may not be plain to the
ordinary . mortal, but an Illustration can
be understood. If the attending physician
calls up the city physician and says "there
Is a contagious disease at house." the
city physician must go out. make an In
spection, and if he decides that the dis
ease Is contagious, he places' a placard
on the house and tells the attending physi
cian to report progress. If the attending
physician in calling up the city physician
should say, "doctor, there is a case of
illness at 's home and I wish you
would look at It with me to determine tf
tt be contagious," the visit is made in the
same manner, the same precautions taken
and must pay two doctors if he is able.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTII OMAHA
Council Springs a Surprise by Cutting
Down the Lery.
MAKES ECONOMY NECESSARY
Cnttlnsj Down Expenses Do ring Re
mainder of Present Fiscal Year
Jeeeaarr Order to Pre
vent m DeSclt.
The council Introduced the general levy
ordinance last night and sprung a surprise
by cutting the levy to I I mills. On a val
uation of t21.CM.rC7.M this will produce
$l!Nk.K0.2O. Against this only 90 per cent
may be drawn, leaving the actual available I
funds $162.77$. 60. Such a figure Indicates
a policy of the most rigid retrenchment for
next year. It has been assumed I that the
city would be obligated to spend $220,000 In
the coming year. There la no possibility
of reaching this figure from the levy. The
balance at the close of the year will be
practically nothing, and there Is no hope
of other collections bringing In more than
$3Ji,ono. Therefore there remains for the
city expenses about $200,000. In the eleven
months elapsed of the present year the ex
pense has been $501,000. It will reach $215,000.
The mayor sent in a communication
stating that he would not allow any boost
ing of funds beyond the expenditure per
mitted by the charter. He therefore recom
mended that 108 arc lights be cut off for
the balance of the month. The Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners wss In
structed to cut down the expense of the po
lice department to cover the $500 shortage.
This means that fully six patrolmen will
have to be laid off for the balance of the
year. For next year eighteen are lights
will have to be dispensed with and no others
may be added. Similar economy will have
to be pursued In all other departments. The
Interest on the city obligations, counting
the bond tssues conservatively at $1,260,000,
equals $TA0OO. There Is In the fund $Gl,61f.
This leaves $1,611 to pay the maturing ob
ligations. The Interest during the present
year will resch the large sum of $70,000, of
which $3,143.S7 has been paid already. Next
year the Interest will be still larger. It
is apparent that there will be a shortage
there of $20,000.
The following Is the exact division of the
funds of tho levy ordinance:
General fund..; , .'..$ 84,200
Fire fund 18,00

The council passed on several Important
measures. One of them was the -recom
mendation of the ordinance vacating C
..root, from Twenty-eighth to Twentv
j ninth. This was done on the petition of
u. jj. Christie, who announced that a
large Minneapolis flouring mill company
was on the point of locating on property
In that vicinity. It is practically assured,
therefore, that the concession will be
granted. Mr. Christie still withholds the
name of the company, although he said
that a representative was in the city last
Wednesday to look after the affairs of his
company, it having been reported that the
concession would be made last, Wednesday
night. V '

to a settlement of the olalm of J. L. Cohn,
whose horse was hurt at Twentieth and
N streets. He recommended a settlement
with Miss Anna Meyers for personal In
juries. Her claim was $7L
W. H. Queen an filed his official report on
the valuation of the real and personal
property of the city. The total Is $22,064,
837.30. A communication was received from the
Union Pacific railroad to the effect that
It could not at present furnish the city
with plans of the proposed Q street via
duct. The chief engineer stated thatj the
force was working on the plans.
An ordinance was introduced making
Twenty-third street a boulevard. A lengthy
petition was received, asking that this be
done.
A paving district was created for the
Improvement of Q street from Twentieth
to Twenty-fourth.
The city engineer reported favorably on
the L street viaduct. He said that It
could still bear an ordinary load. The
weakest point Is directly over the Union
Pacific, tracks, where the acid of the
engines has cut off about a third of the
i thickness of the floor beams. He recom
mended that the viaduct be kept open.
A number of special ordinances .levying
taxes for grsdlng and sldeWulks were
passed. The clerk was Instructed to ad
vertise for bids for the construction of
temporary sidewalks of permanent ma
terial. The Omaha Electric Light and Power
company was ordered to take down Its
poles on U street from Eighteenth to
Twenty-fourth and on 3 from Eighteenth
to Twenty-fifth.
G us Hamll A Co. were allowed $496.01 for
sidewalks laid under city contracts.
The council and the building inspector
had a setto over the tearing down of the
Riley feed store on Twenty-fifth streot
near N. It ended by peremptory orders
being given to give until July IS as a
limit for the removal of the building. The
building Inspector does not want to tear
the building down.

LITTLE ONES WANT HOMES
Child Savin a- Inetltnte Now Has Many
Varieties for Hospitable
Homes.
If any person desires a baby In the home
the opportunity Is now presented" in the
following from the Child Saving Institute:
At the Child Saving Institute twenty-four
babies are waiting for good homes. Black
eyes and blue eyes, winsome boy babies and
girl babies look up appealingly Into the
faces of visitors. Hundreds of homes need
these little ones that carry sunshine
end Inspiration and blessings with them
wherever they go. Those who go there
this week can make choice from a large
variety. The reason for the accumulation
of so many was an epidemic of measles
last spring, which hindered the work of
placing. That trouble Is entirely gone and
the bright, promising little ones need
homes. There are older boys and girls at
the Institute for adoption.
A committee on placing children In homes
will be at the home -Eighteenth and Ohio
streets: every morning during the week
irom 8:$0 until 11 o'clock and also Sunday
afternoons, to receive applications and have
conference with any who may wish to
take children. Letters addressed to the
Institute will receive prompt attention.

Ellery's band may come to Omaha this
summer, says Manager Glllan of the Aud
itorium. Mr. Glllan wrote to get It and the
band's manager replied he could not come
unless he got a four weeks' engagement.
Mr. jGillan thinks Lincoln and St. Joseph
or perhaps Lincoln and Sioux City would
take theband one week each and has mado
this suggestion to the management. Omaha
could support the band ..two weeks, and
If the two other towns would take it the
other two weeks It would pay Ellery to
make the western trip. He Is now at Chi

DOCTORS PRESCRIBE
Dr. W. S. Lewis, a prominent physician of Canton, Pa., says:
"I have used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for years, and re
gard it as the safest and most reliable tonic stimulant."
This well-known temperance doctor recalls in his letter a case
of a minister's son whose life he saved by the use of
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
On October 31st. 1906, Dr. Lewis wrote: "I take pleasure In adrlalng
you that I hare Used Duffy's Malt Whiskey In the sick room for many years,
and consider It the purest, safest and most reliable tonlc-etlniulant I ever used.
Even with the children It never has any nauseous effect.
"Some fourteen years ago 1 recall very distinctly having a case of sthenic
bronchltlsUn Edwin, ion of BenJ. Tracy, minister of M. K. church. Canton,
Pa. One evening I was summoned In haste and found the patient dying from
sheer exhaustion, hurried out my hypodermic needle and Injected one-half
ounce ot Duffy's Malt Whiskey in each limb. To the surprise of all, the boy
beg-an to breathe and could soon take a little Duffy's Malt Whiskey In milk.
Brother Tracy was a rank temperance man, but said that thereafter he would
never condemn whiskey when used In the proper place, being satisfied It saved
his boy's life.
"I have been a temperance man all my life, but have always been a firm
believer in the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for medicinal purposes. I
also claim that after one has passed fifty-five years (for then one la on the
downward path of life), one should take Duffy's Malt Whiskey as a tonlc
tlmulant. It renovates the system, opens up the secretions, gives life and
vigor to the generally broken-down tlasue and increases longevity, I have no
other Interest, either direct or indirect, in Duffy's Malt WhUkey than that It
has proven to me a genuine article in these days of adulterations."
The doctor's letter is one taken at random from thousands of similar
ones received extolling the virtues of this great family medtclne.
