8 THE OMAHA DAILY K5JK : FRIDAY , JAIS'UAllY 29 , 1892 WHISKY AND FINE COMBS Medical Luxuries Prescribed by Dr , Keogh for the County's Sick. EXAMINATION OF PECULIAR WORK of the Ilonnt of Kdiicntlon Kiprrsn Tlirlr Opinion of the Cmmc-ITs Cnll rornStntnncntof I'xjicndltnrcR. Ever since the organization of the now Board of County Commissioners an Idea has prevailed that the old administration had an African concealed in the wood pile , or at least In that portion relating to the dealing out of drugs to the county poor. bo thoroughly did the members become convinced ot this fact , that a couple of wccki ngo the committee on court house and Jail inaugurated an Investigation for the purpose of satisfying their own minds upon iho sub ject. Tno work has been quietly prosecuted with a prospect of some Juicy developments when the report , which is looked for next Saturday , is made. The members of the committee nro very clnmllko when it comes to the question ot talking and absolutely refuse to give their Undines to the public In advance of the re port thai will bo submitted to the board. It 1s a well it now n fact that last year the contract for supplying drugs and medicines was awarded to Alfred Schrootcr , ho being the lownst bidder. Everything that went out of his store , that was furnished lo pau pers , wont upon n proscription from Dr. Keogh , county physician. The doctor to earn his salary attended the county patients and carefully administered to their wants , pre scribing for them aa his judgment dictated. It Is In the prescribing that the commis sioners Una some things that are of consider able interest to the public. For Instance there was one man who was sick. lie saw the county physician who proscribed one quart of whisky. The medicine was taken by the patient and the next ween ho visited the drug store armed with another proscrip tion calling for the same quantity and kind of medicine. This same man secured four Buch prescriptions from the county physi cian , after which his name was dropped from the llsi of county patients , It being presumed that the gallon of whisky used during the four weeks either killed or cured. Another county patient was sufficiently sick to apply for assistance at the hands of the county"physician. . The man of pills knowing what was wanted to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate nt once wrote nut a prescription which called for n line tooth corab without staling whether it was to bo taken Internally or externally. The man got his comb , which was paid for by tlio county , and went his way , cured and happy. There was another man who was a severe sufferer , and after learning that Douglas county hired a doctor by the year , Ihe poor follow visited the man-of phvslc. The con sultation xvas hold , and when he departed , securely tucked away In his watch pocket ho carried a prescription that called fora hair brush , hut the directions tolling how Iho remedy was to bo taken were omitted. These nro only a tow of the Irregularities discovered. There are any number of in- Btunccs of a lllio nature , and when a full and searching investigation is concluded , the commissioners are of the opinion that the history of the county doctor and the county drug bill will furnish several chapters of rather interesting reading matter. DOES SOT rr.uAsu members of tlio School Hoard Don't J.Ilto the Council's Action. Tbo city council is not likely to find the Board of Education in a mood favorable to furnishing the Itemised statement of ex penses called for ititho Jacobson resolution at the last council meeting. \Vbiio Bomo of the members of the board seem willing to furnish tbo council with the statement requested , others think that the council nas'no right to assume the functions of a censor over the affaire of tbo Board ot Education. Spcauinpr of the matter .vcstfrday 'Mr. Powell said : " 1 d ? not un derstand Dy what right th'o city council makes the demand for this Itemized statement. I don't see that it can do any harm particularly to furnish It. but I think wo would have juct as good a right to ask the council to furnish us with a similar statement of their expenditures. " 'In case tbo coucll should take- notion to cut tbo levy asked by the board from 3 mills to say \ \ mills , would you bo in favor of talc- Vng legal stops to force the 2 mills' levy ! " "I certainly would. The Board of Educa tion certainly understands the needs of the Omaha schools better than the citv coucil does , and I think wo will do very well if wo got through on amill lovy. " Mr. Euclid Martin said : "I sco no oojoc- tlon to furnishing the council with the state ment ol our expenditures and ot the esti mated expenses of running the sohool for the current year , but if tbo coun cil should decide to cut tbo levy that wo have usked then. I should favor a resort to the law which gives the board power to dccido tbo amount of the lovy. 1 think that wo have made a very reasonable estimate of the expenses and the 3 mills levy is not an extravagance. " Mr. Smyth was somewhat moro decided upon the matter. Ho said : "I am opposed to rendering the council an itemized state ment of tbo Board of Education expenses for tbo reason that 1 doubt the legal right of the council to supervise tbo work of the board. It the Intention of this action on tha part of the council is to promote economy , why don't the council sot the Board of Education an example worthy ot Imitation In its own deliberations. 1 think the board has done ramarliably well to cut the levy from 8 mills , which wo got last year , to 2 mills this year. I hope in time that wo shall bo able to cot along without nuy levy whatever , but wo can't accomplish that until the licenses and lines fund In creases. I nmll ) bo In favor of standing by our demand for a 2 mill lovy. The city coun cil has no choice in the matter. The duty of the council Is purely ministerial , Last year tbo council cut the school levy from 4 mills to 8 mills , but under tba present charter tbo council has no such authority , "Members of the Board ot Education , I think , nro Just as patriotic and Justus capa ble of attending to the business that de volves upon them as the mom bora of tbo touncll , " The question of furnishing the Itemized ttutomont asked for by the council will coma up at tbo regular mooting of the board next Monday night and will probably brmg out a lively debute. 1'hjslclans say that there Is no remedy for consumption , In some cases this may bo correct.

" Thus spoke a man in a crowded street car asl ovonlntr , as ho rammed a copy of the World-Herald Into Iho car stovo. "I bought that shoot because the newsboy cried out the atsnsslnatlon ot Minister Hgan , [ found only three lines on tbo subject. The le&dlng states positively that Egan was as sassinated , while the faked dispatch , prob ably written by the Omaha editor , discredits the first statement. When I saw this dis parity I stopped back to tbo newsboy to loll jlm ho had misrepresented things. Ho re plied thai ho didn't care -that iho World- Herald man had instructed him to cry tha assassination of Esan. "I will wager a thousand dollars that there Is not tbo slightest foundation for the report. it Is a fake pure and simple , manufactured , solely for the purpose of selling extra copies of the paper. But it'll bo my fault if that paper over fools mo again. " The irate passenger wax speaking to a friend , but bis remarks were overheard by everyone in the car. Another passenger felt called upon to roast the Fake Factory for other similar lns , and ho took for bis text the white whiskered romance of the pro posed building on Farnam strcot. In double loads and on tbo first page the World-Herald announced that B. F. Smith tbo Boston capi talist would .soon put up a mammoth store house just above the Board of Trade butld- Inp.

Mr. Klmbiill Opposed to rutting Them on Inhibition Ituilroad Notes. It having been suggested to President Klmball of tbo Union Depot company that ho put Iho iwo sols of plans for tbo structure on public exhibition at an uptown business place , in order that people may compare them , that gentleman was led lo say that the proposition was ill advised and impracticable. The detailed plans of tbo depot , ho stated , cover a hundred sheets of paper , half of which are two-lbirds as large as a common house door. They cost over $10,000 , which figure will bo increased by other plans yet to bo furnished. Mr. Kimball thinks very few people have the tlmo or patience lo examine those papers , oven if they have the technical knowledge to understand them , and , at any rate , tbo depot company will not subject its valuable plans to the possible loss or damage of such an exhibition. On the other hand bo says that corporation is entirely willing that a com pa tent architect examine the plans , make com parisons and glvo the same to tbo public.

The motormcn complain that a number ot impudent boys , some nearly grown , are con stantly annoying them by stealing rides be tween II and Vlnton streets. It is not the sto'on ' rides nnd Insolence of the young imps that they care particularly 'about , but the constant peril in which these young follows place themselves by jumping off of motors running at full speed lo catch on others coming from tbo opposite direction. Within the lusl few days Ihreo or four boys hnvo had very nar row osrnnes from gelling killed. Yesterday one Jumped off Iho roar end of a trailer and attempted to run ID front ot a motor comlnc from the opposilo direction , when ho wa < struck nnd knocked down. The motorman reversed bis lover and put on brakes , and when ho slopped the train bo expected to see : ho manclea remains ot tbo boy on the track. But by some rare good fortune the boy was thrown to the side of the track and barely escaped being crushed by the wheels. When tie : motorman looked back ho saw iho young imp with his thumb on his nose , his lingers extended nnd hoard him shouting ; Q"Say , get a move on ye ; viol's do matter wldyo , any way 1" Ono or two boys have boon killed while up to such antics and the motormcn have a con- Hnnt dread lhat moro will meet tholr death iti a similar manner.

Ignatius Donnelly , In reporting the result ot the committee's labors , noted tbo ommlsslon and expressed the opinion that the address in its present form would not ho acceptable to the pjoplo's party. Ho re ferred to the number of foreigners in the party , ana said the prohibition clause should bo modified to as to save to them the Idea of individual right In iho matter of beer arlnk- Ing , held by thorn so tenaciously. In tlio committee room ho said ho had , though him self a believer In temperance , advocated the substitution of the phrase , "abatement of the liquor traffic , " as being moro acceptable to the people's party , but ho had been over ruled by the roit of the committee. Tnubencek of Illinois moved to accept Donnelly's suggestion and substltuto the word "abatement" for annihilation , but E. J. Wheeler suggested that "suppression" would bo a bettor word , and in that form the au- dress was adopted. After the vote Tauhoncck announced that ho had neither voted for nor against that address - dross because he was conildent that Its state ment of the prohibition question would not bo acceptable to the people's partv. A com mittee was appointed to present the address to the St. Louis convention February 82.

Third All moans ot public triuisuortutlnn and communicating should bo conttollod by the government , to obtain for : ill the peoulo equal and equitable advantages In such serv ices , and if the effort to eo control said moans of transportation and communication shall prove Impracticable then wo favor govern ment ownership of the same.
