Norfolk baosts a bar that is etui mcntly respected all over the state Not the kind of a bar that you ar tfctnklnc of , but the bar denoting icga profession ; though the city is equlppe IB the other line , so far as that is cor corned. There are few cities In the countr f Norfolk's file which can claim a eminent a bar as can Norfolk. An not for advertising purposes , citbei Norfolk can produce sterling "goods when it comes to this proposition , a it can In other lines of Industry. Most communities recognize the ac vantage of an able set of attorneys n law. All communities hope down 1 : their heart R that they will never gc into trouble requiring the services c the legal profession , and that th court's net may never get them or tangled in embarrassing litigation , bu now and then man Is made a target c and must throw up his arms in scl defense or succumb to the attacl And BO Norfolk , with the rest of th country , appreciates the beauty c wning an able bar , for the sake c emergencies. There's Judge Humes. Any city o earth could be proud of a legal min like that that belongs to Judge Barnei That mind has mada him not only on of the greatest of Nebraska's attoi Beys , but it has made him also onoo iho most superior ot district judge and supreme judges over known I : tbo commonwealth.

City Council Votes Down Municipal Ownership Proposition. Omaha , Feb. 1 The Omaha city council IIIIH taken n direct slap at mu- ilcipnl ownership and has decisively timed down a proposition to vote bondn for the erection and operation f n municipally owned electric light plant. Of the twelve members of the city council only ono voted for the proposition and ho wns thu ono who ntroducod the measure. Two weokB ORO Councilman McGov- > rn Introduced an ordinance to submit he Issuance of $500,000 bonds for a municipal lighting plant to the voters. At this week's general council meet- ng , the proposition came up to a vote , nd elovun of the twelve members vot- d against It , thereby killing the ordl- mnco completely. "I am opposed to the city operation of the public utility corporations but do believe In city regulation , " says Councilman Zlmman , who has mndo a special study of questlona of this char acter. Although the platform upon which the present council went into office had as planks the municipal owner ship of all public utilities , the council has so far failed to take over any of thesu corporations preferring to await the outcome of the fight for the city water works which was started four years ago , beforu undertaking any fur ther jobs of that kind. Also , the coun cil linn left on Us hands the "white elephant" of n city market , which was constructed several years ago by a former city council and which has boon the laughing stock and disgrace of the city over since it was completed. Two weeks ago the city council of .Toilet , 111. , sent n committee to Omaha to examine the workings of this mar- kct , house and to report to the main body at Jollet , it being the Intentions of that city to construct a municipal market for Its own use. Hut the visiting councilmcn were BO disgusted with what they found hero that they formulated a report against building a plant in Jollet. The Omaha plant was built at a cost double' that at which it could have been built by pri vate enterprise. And. , only two stalls were over rented. The house has brought in n revenue of $240 for the three years It has * been built The original cost was $11,500. The Jollet committee decided the Omaha bouse was not n paying proposition. The present Omaha city council Is now making another attempt at securing renters for the old building but have not yet succt-eded in getting a single one Into it , Meanwhile , all kinds ol legislation is being passed in ita favor , but legislation cannot fill the empty stalls with paying tenants. When the city councilmcn weit elected on the ownership platform , few of them bad ever studied that propo sltlon at all. After their olcctlon , when they begun studying the proposition and saw tbo effects of the market house , the asphalt repair plant IE which so much money was sunken and the mess which the water board has gotten the city into , a majority o ! the councilmen seem to have abandoned donod thu idea of municipal ownerahli and the decisive vote against the build ing of the municipal lighting plant fol lowed. ED HARTER HAS APPENDICITIS. Left for Chicago to Be Operated on b ) Dr. Murphy. Ed Harter , who recently arrived li the city to accept a position as com merclal traveler for E. A.

NEED OF LOCAL INSPECTION t Has Been Proven That Tuberculosis Entering Human Stomach In Milk , Can Get to Lungs More Danger In Milk Than In the Air. Lincoln , Neb.'Fob. 2. Editor News : n your last week's Issue of the Weekly News 1 rend mi article from the pen ) f a Norfolk physician on "How Dis eases Spread , " which bo wrote in rely - > ly to an Interview your reporter must mvo had with some state senator. As 'ar ns the argument of the senator Is concerned it's immaterial whether con suming moat or milk of tubercular oni- nala produces tuberculosis of the ali mentary tract or of the lungs , the re sult to the human being IB the same , sooner or later death. It la probable the senator may not bo aware that tuberculosis can exist elsewhere than n the lungs , where it is called con sumption. In veterinary medicine we do not make use 'of the term consump tion. However , I believe it has been prov en quite satisfactorily that the germs of tuberculosis can find their way rotn the alimentary tract , If Intro duced there through the food , and then carried by the blood stream or lym phatic system and finally find lodge ment In various organs of the body , lungs Included. True "nature does provide against the spread of these germs in the blood" as it does against all germs , and as it does also when they gain entrance into the lungs , nnd In the greatest majority of cases nature wins out , but where the germ gains entrance in an indi vidual who by predisposition or weak ened in some way , as by a cold or re cent Illness nature Is not strong enough to surround and kill the germ it takes hold and multiplies. If meat was in all cases thoroughly cooked clear through the germs would be killed , but such is not always the case , nor is milk rarely If ever boiled ( not warmed ) before drinking. I enclose a clipping from the New York Times which please publish with this. I think it corroborates both the senator's and the contention of the qualified veterinarians that it's time we were paying more attention to the source of our meat and milk supply , along with our ordinances against spit ting In public places , etc. Like. Cali fornia , Kansas is endeavoring to ob tain local inspection of meat and milk supplies , nnd I am glad to flnd some cities and even towns of Nebraska re quire the same. I say speed the time when the state will compel It every where. Disease Is Spreading. Tuberculosis In swine In Nebraska Is alarmingly on the increase. Why ? That's n question our state experiment station nnd our state veterinary medic al association have determined to solve if possible. Is it due to more feeding of separator milk , since all farmers now do their own separating ? Is It due to swine following tubercu lar herds of cattle ? We have proven hogs fed on car casses of cattle dead from tuberculosis develop the disease not alone in the alimentary tract and lymphatic system , but also in the lungs. Chas. A. McKlm , M. D. C. Washington/D. C. , Jan. S. A report en the relation of tuberculosis lesions to the mode of Infection , submitted to the secretary of agriculture by Dr. E. C. Schroeder and W. E. Cotton of the bureau of animal industry , contains in formation resulting from extensive ex perimentation which goes a long way toward upsetting the popular notion that pulmonary tuberculosis , or con sumption , only follows the direct inha lation of the tubercle bacilli from dried sputum directly into the lungs. Tuberculosis was produced In the lungs of a calf and three hogs , in the course of these experiments , by inocu lation near the end of the tail. This indicates , * In * the vlewof , th exports , that the lungs may readily become the seat of tuberculoua disease , no matter through what channels the bacilli gain entrance to the body , and that the lo cation of lesions in the lungs can no longer bo considered as reliable evi dence that the infection entered by means of the respiration. Too much Importance baa been at tached to the agency of dried sputum In the study of tuberculous Infection , the investigators say , and too little to the more serious danger from fresh or moist tuberculous material , which en ters the human food in many ways , one of the commonest of which is at tributable to the tuberculous dairy cow. Evidence has been presented to support the contention that the lungs of these cows are more directly ex posed to the Infection through the lymph channels and blood current than in any other way. In the experiments with cattle and hogs subcutaneous injections of viru lent tubercle bacilli were made as near the cnda of the tails of the animals as possible , because this point was'the furthest removed available portion of the body from the lung , and the loca tion from which the infection of the latter seemed least likely to occur. Twenty-three days after a healthy calf had been inoculated with the vir ulent preparation the animal died. Post-mortem examination showed that the lungs were badly infected , while the other organs apparently were In a normal condition. The lungs pre sented a perfect picture of a fatal mlllary tuberculosis. The hogs which were inoculated were killed , and the same conditions were found in the lungs. The experimenters believe that in these cases the bacilli were either tak en up directly by the capillaries and thence carried to the lungs by means of the venous circulation , or else by the lymphatics Into the veins and thcncu to the lungs , Thu report says : "Tho practical conclusion to bu drawn from the results obtained U that ingcstlon Is a greater danger than the respiration of tubercle bacilli'es pecially as the tubercle bacilli may bo ingested In the fresh state In which they are expelled from tuberculosis lesions nnd cannot bo respired until they have been subjected to various attenuating processes. The substance in which tubercle bacilli are enveloped or imbedded when they leave the in fected organs under ordinary and us ual conditions requires considerable time before It can be sufficiently dried and pulvcri/.cd to float in the air. Ba cilli do not rise from moist surfaces and Ilont In thu air. The complete des iccation that must occur in advance of pulverization is elthor n compara tively slow process or is hastened by ngencles , like thu heat from the direct rays of thu sun , that have a'potent. . Influence against the vitality of patho genic bacteria. "Sputum , for example , dries on the surface in a way that coats it with a protective membrane through which evaporation progresses slowly ; it i a very adhesive substance , and be comes more so during the first stages of drying , and It must bo exposed when thoroughly dried to actual attrition be fore it can be detached from the sur face on which It has dried and roach a sufficient disintegration to the blown about as dust. " The experimenters summarize their conclusions as follows : "Tuberculosis is a disease contract ed through the Ingestlon of tubercle bacilli. "The lung is the most frequent organ affected , independently of the point at which the infectious material enters the body. "Tuberculous infection may pasn from ono part of the body to another remote to it without leaving a chalu of lesions to mark its path. "Fresh tuberculous material has the highest , nnd dried nnd pulverized ma terial a doubtful significance. "Tuberculous material from catjlo has the highest virulence for all tested species of the mammalian kingdom , to which man anatomically and physiol ogically belongs , and tuberculous ma terial from man has a lower virulence. "Man is constantly exposed to fresh tuberculous material in a helpless way through his use of dairy products from tuberculous cows and cows associated with tuberculous cattle. " It seems from this array of facts , the report says , every one of which Is based on positive experimental evi dence , that we should feel no doubt re garding our plain duty , which is , no matter what other measures we adopt in our fight against tuberculosis , neb to neglect one of the chief , if not the most Important , source of Infection the tubercular dairy cow. COMMERCIAL CLUB THINKS NORFOLK - FOLK RIPE FOR IT. ONE FOR $10,000 AVAILABLE Secretary Mathewson Says That the Commercial Club Believes Norfolk Would Gladly Support it , as Value is Recognized by Public. Norfolk is ripe for a Carnegie library according to the belief of the Com mercial club. Secretary Mathewson , in speaking of this belief , saya that It is thought Norfolk has arrived at the point where a Carnegie library would be willingly and gladly supported by the city , and that such an institution should be asked for. The Carnegie library can bo secured if'.Norfolk wll | agree to opend one- tenth the value of the building c'kfeh year in maintaining the institution. 1C is said that a library building costing $10,000 could be secured for Norfolk and it is believed by the Commercial club that ten percent of that , or $1,000 per year , could bo raised by taxation without any trouble whatsoever , since the value of such an institution la rec ognized by all. This expense weald call for a two-mill levy , or about twen ty cents per year on each $100 of as sessed valuation. CEMENT BLOCK PLANT DESTROYED Gobbler A Gobbler Suffer Complete Loss In Old Creamery. Gobbler & Gobbler , whose cement block manufacturing plant was located in the old creamery building whlcn has just burned , will resume business immediately , although they suffered a loss that is heavy. Their molds and stock were burned and they estimate the loss at $1100 , Insured for $450. The cement blocks In the building were not hurt by the fire but they were crushed by the massive falling timbers when the creamery collapsed. Mr. Gobbler says that the cement floor burned , up , literally , and there Is but a pp.tch four feet square loft today to tell the story. He says that this wan the first cement floor he ever saw burn. The cement blocks were red hot from the fire. Mr. Gobbler says that if the Ore had waited a few days he would have bad his plant out of the building , because ho was making room for the creamery that was to be installed. Ho was un able to got more than $460 insurance because the building was so far away from water and was vacant. Mr. Gobbler states that the struc ture bed been a nest for tramps for years.
