. . , When the present chloe of the fro depat-
ment wa oppolntet by the Heart of Fire
nnt 10lc9 Commisioner the people of
; 1 Omaha were given to understand that the
election of a chief from Olt of town was pro.
Imlnary to a general reorganization ot the
department on the basil of the most mOltrn
fire fghtng Iteas. This was token In some
. quarters Ol an Indication that a consiierablo
f : number of the oM men were goIng to bo dts .

r ' It no Limo a part of the plan of the comm\ .
aiontr3 or of Mr. fledell. Al men who are

duty or neglect to abide by the regulations
' ' . of the lepa ; tment. lut various reforms have
already been Inaugurated In the managament
and dlsclplno of the department and other
are In contciuplation. These have been repeatedly -
. peatedly diectntstd by the members at the
boall and the fire cblef.
One of the first matters to receive attention -
; lon has been the regular dris of the de-
partment. These will be materially aug.
5 mentell and every fireman In the department
wi bc dried at frequent Intervals In the
use of all the apparatus that ho may have
c to handle at a fire. The Pomilier ladders
, b will be rrglarly used and the pilemen , as
wtl as the hoolt and ladder men wi l
, made perfectly familiar with their
use. I Is the idea of Chief
, Hrel to have J II'ompler service
, In connection with each' ' hook ant ladder
: truck ali this drill will le supplemented by
those wih the life line lnd net as soon as'
the department Is In a p slton to supply the
apparatus. The Pompler % drill IS an exercise
. that bring every muscle In the body Into
play. Chief Uedel II of thin opinion that fre-
men should be maintained In IS perfect phy-
. slcal condition as possible. When they have
- work to do It must be done In a hurry and
. ' - only a wel conditioned man Is able to
fight fire with a clear head and untring mus-
dee. The use of the ladders also gives the
, men confidence and command of themselves
when working at a consIderable height from
the ground . For these reasons . as well as
to render the men proficient In their use the
. 0 Iompler drill wi be a regular feature of the
- house work. In the regular thrills every
, ' piece of apparatus will bo brought Into play
exactly as though It was at a fire. The aerial
trucks must be manned and raised In the
i quickest possible time . hade run off . connec-
Uons made and every mon taught to study
his particular part of the worlt , so that when
. an alarm Is turned In he wi unconsciously
carry out his part with the best degree of
omclency count. possible and make every motion
FIE TELEPHONE SEI1VICE.
Ono of the meditated Improvements Is a
> telephone service . exclusively for the fire dc-
partment Under the present system a good
deal of time Is lost tn ringing up the central
omco and waiting for I connection , but If the
engine houses arc place on an exclusive cir :
, , ; cult communIcaton wIll 1 only be a matter of
. an Instant. The fro alarm service wi be
" moved from its present location to the ofce
/ , of the chief In the city hall. One reason for
this change Is the danger of the disability of
I th9 apparatus by fire at Its present locaton ,
I I a fire should break out the whole fre
1 z " alarm system would bo rellerel1 ieess , but L
; In' tIle city hal thIs dangel would bo reduced
tT to i mInimum. Then a considerable amount
"
f4 : would be saved In rent.
" . Chief Hcdel I workIng on a new set of .
I" : rules enl regulations which wi more clearly
" define the duties of the officers and nieli
, , Some Improvement wIll bo male In the system :
tem of reports from the various companies
. and there will probably bo a change In one
- . or two features of the present alarm system
. . For Instance under the present system two
; r more alarms may be turned In from boxes
, & . In widely different locations. The chief ar-
1z- rlvo at one of the 'frcs and decides 'o make
a second call. The second , or general alarm
may be sent In and as several boxes have
I ; bean pulled there Is no way In which the rc-
. malnlng companies can tel to which of the
. . tires they are called by the second alarm.
In dIscussing the Immediate nece9sltes of
the department yesterday Chief Hedel I
sold that the most pressing necessity was
for men. "The frt consideration should be
to adequately mAn the apparatus that Is now
: ' In UEe. For Instance , I was at No. a' S
house this mornIng ali saw the drill In rals -
lag the heavy truclt There are six men attached -
: tached to the truck , while tt was never con
. &ructell to be handled with less than ten :
anon Some of the outsldo hose S
have only three men Such a company as
, this Is a farce when It comes to putting out ,
. , , . a fire. Every company shoull be able to
, lay and man two lines of hos ( but three men
' cannot handle one to advantage . When an :
alarm Is turned In one of these companies
. ' , arrives at the fire. The driver must .talte
' - care of his team before ho can render any ,
asslstanc That leaves two men to run the
hose . make connections with the hydrant ) and
r nozzle , handle probably several hundred feet
of hose and play oa the fire. As the three
' , men cannot bo on duty all of the time , It may
even be possible that only two men will bo
at band to answer the alarm Now what
. does such a company amount to ? The frst
. five minutes Is all Important at a fire. 'I'here
should bo men enough to handle the hose
- rapidly and get to work on the fro at the
quickest moment Each
pOE.lble company
should be able to lay two hInes of hO3' with' I
, out losing a second and there should bo men
1 . enough on the hook and ladder trucks to
- bring them Into Illay with equal celerlt3 .
Anyone can ceo that this Is Impossible when
the apparatus Is Insufficiently manned . Then ,
also , It Is always probable that a line must
bo changed at tn\ . One or two men cnnot
do this without losing a g03d deal of valuable
lmp , whpro If there was a lull company the
line could be handled so rapidly that the loss
. would not be felt. Suppose a case where
the lIre Is In the third . fourth or filth titer y
r and the dlmcliy or getting a stream to bear
Is Increased and you ere & oil than eve : r .
' 'Fvery down Iowa company should hia , e
at least a full complement of six men to obtain -
tale efecth'o results "
NOT UP TO DA'm.
In discussing the Ileston of apparatus the
chief remarlted that thIs was an ago of ad.
. vancement hi fire "plaratu ! as wel 'as other
. things and sense of the Omaha Ipparatus ;

the upper floors the firemen could do nothing
but stand by and see them fall back Into
the flames or dash themselves to pIeces on
the t pavements. Life lines anti nets should
be procured and the entire department drilled
unti they were experts In their use.
Chief Redel has also suggested several
Improvements I In the building regulations.
lt le l says there can bo no other relatons.
that lt Omaha Is an Inflammable city. While
there t are sere large business blocks of
Imprond I fireproof construction , there are
hunllreds h of buildings that are veritable fire
traps. Lodging houses tenement houses and
dozens ot other buildIngs are constructed :
ue pen the thEory that they were to be
ua eternaly secured from any attack of fire , ,
and even In the business districts there was
tlere
I great scarcity of fro escapes. No large
buldl : ! should be allowed to be constructed 1
without a complete fro wall through the ,
center , so that In case of a Ore the firemen I
fremen
coul cc concentrate their streams on one.hal
of 1 the building and the other half at least
would bo safe . This would reduce the fire
hazard fully one.half.partmcnt houses
Ihoull 5t also be provided with fireproof parti.
tOI between the suites of rooms. I this
was tlohe the department : \oul know Just
what they had to depend II\n nail coal
fight the fire much more intelligently anti
e ffectively. Title latter Idea Is provided for
by an amenllment to the building ordinance
which was submllII to the council by
Con' missioner Hartman , Chief Hedel and
I'spector of 1ulllngs Deverili . :
The contemplated amendment consists In I
the additIon of the following : "In all apart-
ment houses the dividing wails or partitions
between the apartments Provided for ecich
family shall be made entirely of Incombust-
ble material , or of steel , partitions filled to
the ( till thickness and height with mineral ,
wool or other incombustible material , equally
as good , anti ' plasttrell on the metal lath.
In the absence of definite subdivIsions befi
tween the apartments of different families , :
eight rooms shall bo counted as the equiva-
lent of one apartment. In boarding houses , , .
lodging housts or hotels , ninety feet or less
In height } , there shall be for every eight
rooms In anyone story dividing wals or par-
tlons as described above separating these
eight rooms from the contIguous spaces. All
hotels , lodging . or teneltnt houses aparty
ment houses , boarding houses anti publc
buildings , three storIes or more In height anti
not built absolutely fire proof , shah have 0
semi-fireproof ceiling to each floor , constructed .
structe as follows : Furr below the bottom
of each joist longitudinally . with I metal

eral wool , asbestos or other fireproof ma-
tonal , as approved by the bulling superln-
tenslent. Salll metal strips and lath to be

"What we need at the present time . " said
Police Judge Christmann this morning , "Is
an experienced detective who Is not known
to our people here to circulate around anl ]
get tn with the gongs that are holding up
people almost every night. Burglars should
also bo looked after. Quite I number of
petty thieves are at large In the town , anti
I think a shrewd man could very soon get
In with them and thus secure evidence
enough to send all guilty parties to hiniso ' ? , . "
The present condition of the cIty's finances
wIll not warrant the employment of a good
detective at the present time , although one
Is badly needed.

Nobody disputes It.
From the day It was first prescribed by
that most eminent of American physicIans ,
Prof. Edward E. Phelps , It has been recom-
mended , prescribed and its merits extolled
by the ablest of physIcians. The best medical -
cal journals have devoted almost unlimited
space to the cures It has effected .
The daily press or the large cItes has con-
tamed account after account of remarkable
cases of "health restored by Paine's celery
compound. "
Some of the most famous men and women
anl
at the country have very recently authorized
tim publication of their unsolicIted test
mania Is. They or their physicians have
franltly told how , when all elsa hnd failed ,
Paino's celery compound had made them
