Omaha's sanitary condition at present Is , to say thu least , mottling but creditable. U'he main thoroughfares themselves are deplor ably unclean anil the by-streets and alleys nro absolutely filthy. O' course a continua tion of such a Btato of affairs Into the spring , nnd summer , would only result in disease , sickness and death. The authorities nro in 'f dally receipt of communications from complaining citizens Imploring that BOIIIO octlon bo taken immediately looking toward nn amelioration of the t city's sanitary condition , and inasmuch ns the city council has yet failed In any way to respond to there solscitations , the chief of > police yesterday sent a lone communica tion to the mayor urging upon him the neccs- t sltv of laying the matter before the munici pal legislature with the request that they at * once bestir themselves in this regard. The chief advises n thorough renovation of the Whole elty , nnd recommends , to insure the accomplishment of this end , that the garbage force , both men and wagons , be largely in- t creased nnd set to work without further clclny. The chief's letter also embodies many valuable suggestions , and urges upon 1' the mayor the necessity of prompt action in the mutter. _ , Tlin Creche.

August Weiss was born In Brcslnn , Silesia , February 38,1S3& Ho was educated In the preparatory school , or gymnasium In his na tive place , for the university , but did not enter upon the course of the latter , prefer ring to enter nt once upon the business of his life wnlch ho had decided wns to bo other wise than pouring over university text books or listening to university lec tures. Ho accordingly took to the sou. and ns n merchant marine In the service of England hud experience in all parts of the world , especially In Chill , 1'oru , Panama , during which tlmo ho was In the employ of the Pacific steamship company. Ho readme ! Omaha in lb < 7 , nnd soon nftcr entered the commission nnd grocery business with a man named lirandcs ns partner. They remained ogcthcr sometime when the latter died and was succeeded by the brother of the de ceased , the present ex-Judge Urandcs of this city. Their store was situated on Farnnm near Tenth street , almost upon the same slto us that which has Just been abandoned by Pe.vehc brothers. This business /was con ducted for six ycors , when the firm was dis solved , Mr. Weiss entering the Insurance business and establishing his ofllco in the Knrbach block on the soutcast corner of Fif teenth and Douglas street , a place which ho held up to the tlmo of his death. Mr. Weiss was in the llrst years of his life here nn active nnd energetic worker. Ho had still n longing for the military life which ho hud experienced on ship-board , and this led to his organization of a military com pany , known ns the Omaha Guards , of which ho was captain , and which nourished for nearly three years. It wns an expensive or ganization , and Us uniform wns considered very rich , and there are still In this city a number of the members who speak with pride of the dashing appearance they made in their gay regimentals. Mr. Weiss wns also president of the Schuct7cnvcrOln , which was organized in JOtl'J. This society had u shooting range out where the white lend works nro now sit uated , It had n membership of thirty-live , under the leadership of Captain Urlau , now dead. Hut this organization , also , with the lapse of years , has long since gone out of existence. In 1SS1 Mr. Weiss wns elected justice of the peace , defeating Mr. Hilcy , nnd in 1SI ho wns re-elected , dofeatlnir Mr. Wright , who subsequently reached the bench. His con stituency was In the Third ward. Hotwcon times he attended to his insurance business , which had always been very profitable , cs pccially among his Get man friends. For three months in Ibb4 , while Judge Uenckc , the police magistrate , was In Europe , Judge Weiss occupied -the seat. His incumbency was not without criticism , but the Judge con- solcil himself that he was right in nil the trouble , and he could not bo convinced that ho hadn't been. In lbV3 ho was nominated for police Judge by the democratic party -niid was defeated by Judge Stenberg. A year later ho was again nominated b.v the same party , for Justice of the peace in the Third ward , under the new law restricting the Justices of Omaha to one for each ward , The republican nominee was Leo Helsley , who was elected , but who Imsnow.abundonccl the ofllcc nnd gone into journalism. For the ast two years of his life Judge Weiss has jcen devoting himself studiously to his iiiMir- wce business , and was so occupied when dis- asc prostrated and death llnally claimed lim , The ludge was married twice1 , llrst In 1SO o Dora Schwenk , from whom ho procured n. livnrco , and Inter to his present wife , Miss Schocnlow , daughter of the editor of the Vlaksblatt , of Columbus , In this state. Ho coves no children by either marriage. The Judge wns a genial , good-nuturcd man. Jp to the day of his death ho had been a fa- nillar character on the streets , always wel- : omcd by his friends nnd not sought after jy his foes. Ho was quite a quite n linguist. [ n business matters ho was close and died losscssod of real and personal property valued nt between ? 7r > ,000 and ilX ( > ,000. Ho will bo buried on Sunday at 2 p. m. in For. cst Lawn. rmm.

Thursday afternoondied soon after the record of the event was published in the lieu. It seems that ho had loiigcontcrnplatcd the rash act because , some time ngowhnn ho sent to the drug fit in of Leslie & Leslie , on the cor ner of Sixteenth and Dodge street * , nn order for morphine , the request w.is refused , and since that time Pegrim has been compelled to get his drug elsewhere. His remains were conveyed to Urcxol & Maul's , where the coroner held nn inquest. The Jurors were George Mcdlock , If. H. B.jvi3 , G. W. Eistmnn , Samuel Hell , S. Morrison and U. E. Livcsey. The verdict returnwl was that the deceased had como to his de.ith from a dose of mor phine , administered by his own hand with suicidal intent. The wife of the deceased is now living in Hed Oak , having left her lius- band some time ago because of'his dissolute habits. She was telegraphed Thursday evening , and yesterday , in response to her request , the remains were forwarded to th.it place. Paul Fcik'li , a ncnhcw of Mrs. Fred Krug and Ed Wittig , died last evening nt St. Jo seph's hospital , after an Illness of two years from dropsy. The deceased was well known , nnd leaves n large circle of friends who re spected and admired him for his many line qualities. The remains were icmoved to the uiidci taking establishment of OrcNol&Mmtl , from whore the funeral will bo conducted , Mr. Wittig defraying nil the expenses of burial. Mr. Feitch was for six yeais a clerk in the grocery house of Henry Fundt. A FUXKUAIj FAKK. A Fleeced Victim CIIUSCH the Arrest or "MournerK. " The Union Pacific depot and Tenth street seem to bo infested with n number of confi dence men who ply their cunning trade on unsuspecting travelers who stop In the city u few hours while on their way cast or west. The lust known victim is Fred Schmidt , u young German who stopped in the city hist Tuesday while on his way to the western part of the stuto. While 6n his way up town ho fell in with the usual couple of affable fel lows , who in a short time completely wormed themselves into his confidence. This time the "affable fellows" needed only SUO to pay a funeral bill and had nothing m change less than a f. > 00 bill. If Schmidt had the money they would borrow it for u few minutes , drop in and pay the undertaker , and then re pair to u bank where they would get the bill broken and return the money to Schmidt , i ho credulous Gorman had only $70 , but turned it over to the sharks very willingly. The three repaired to a stairway near the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas , where they left him standing at the bottom telling him they would bo down again in a minute , as soon us they turned the money over to the undertaker. After Schmidt had stood for about a half an hour waiting for them , ho slowly begun to realize that he hud been confldenced , He hunted the police up and put the matter In their hands , resolving to stay in Omaha until the sharks were brought to Justice. From the description given , the police succeeded in arresting them yesterday afternoon , when they gave their nunics us L. C. Taylor und Myron Cronkito. They were astonished when they were con fronted by Schmidt at the police station , supposing , doubtless , thut ho , In common with their other victims , had quietly gone on his way home. They were tried , convicted nnd sentenced each to sixty days in the county jail , twenty days of that time to sub sist on u diet of bread and water. The City IMiyslclnu. QMUH , Feb. 9. To the Editor cf the Br.E : Referring to your editorial in the HER of the 6th inst. , touching n proposition to pay the city physician n salary of J2.400 per year , it does look as if the city physician had some body who is very solicitous for his welfare , for unless his duties are greatly enlarged ho certainly wouldn't earn one-fourth of that amount. For it is ttio county not the city physician , wio attends to the sick poor and the only really professional labor the city physician is called pen to perform Is an occasional call to the Jail. His duties merely consist In peeping a record of births nnd deaths , ' a clerk to an imaginary- board of health. This is , ae POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

If it were desirable that the city assume the care of its sick poor there would certainly be more than one man could attend to injus tice to the patients ho would have under his care.
