likely to become the fashionable mode of
salutation in Omaha for a tlmo of greater
or later duration to come. If the reply Is
in the negative , the respondent is likely to
ba carried by force to sotno point where
the virus Day be Introduced to hU system ,
for the Board of Health Is about to issue an
ardor calling upon citizens , especially those
In the northern part of the city , to become
vaccinated.
The cause of all arises from the fact that
for the first time since 1894 smallpox signs
re again being displayed In'this city. Uroti
three cottages in the northern part of
Omaha , the red danger signals have been
nailed. Seven caies of the disease have
been discovered In threa families genuine
cases of smallpox , although In the modified
and mild form ol varlolold. Whether the
disease has become widely prevalent In that
portion of the city has not yet been learned
by the health department. There seems to
bo little doubt that It la epidemic In Ne
braska City and vicinity , whence the disease
was imported Into this city.
The disease has existed In the city for a
couple of weeks or more , but was discovered
only through accident by Assistant City
Physician Ralph on last Tuesday. On that
day he answered a telephone call from a
grocery merchant in the northern part of the
city.
city."A
"A man with big blotches and blisters on
bis face Is coming to my store , " was the
message , "It may be smallpox. "
Dr. Ralph Immediately visited the house
of the euspeot. He looked at the man nnd
at once told him he was suffering from
smallpox. The man threatened to throw
him out of the house. Dr. Ralph discovered
two more cases In the family. Ho visited
an adjoining house and found three more
cases there. He then called upon the physi
cians of the afflicted families. These doc
tors declared that the disease was chicken
pox. Dr. Ralph Insisted that he knew small
pox when he saw it and that the families
bad the disease.
Dlasjno * ! * Finally Endoned.
Dr. Ralph was making further prepara
tions Wednesday. He visited the afflicted
families with another physician who also
declared that the disease wag chicken pox.
Later In the day another physician Informed
Dr. Ralph that he bad discovered a case of
smallpox about four blocks away from where
Dr. Ralph had found his. On account of the
differences of opinion a board of physicians
was formid to visit the suspected families
for the purpose of discovering exactly the
nature of the dlseass. This board consisted
of Drs. Ralph , Peabody , Foote and Kunde.
The quartet of medical men made a thor
ough examination of all three families last
night that lasted for several hours. They
were unanimous in declaring the disease to
be smallpox. Yesterday morning signs were
called upon the houses where the disease
exists. City Physician Spaldlng made ar
rangements to Issue his order of vaccination.
Other precautions are being taken to pre
vent the further spread of the disease and
An Investigation Is being made In the neigh
borhood to learn just how far the disease
bas spread.
The disease doubtless came from Nebraska
City. For the last six weeks there have
been rumors that smallpox was prevalent
there , but th * majority of the resident phy
sicians declared the disease to be chicken
pox. All doubt as to the nature of that dis
ease In Nebraska City , however , has now
been removed according to the following tel
egrams that wer * received by The Bee this
morning :
PERCIVAL , 'la. , Dec. 8. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Owing to the conflicting reports In
regard to the prevalence of smaUpox In Ne
braska City the local Board of Health de
cided yesterday to Investigate the matter.
It employed Drs. Tweedy of Tabor , la. ,
and Cole of Thurman , la. , who with the
'board ' visited Nebraska City today. The two
physicians visited while there seventeen
cases and pronounced the same to be small
pox. There are also two cases In the .vicin
ity of Perclval. The heal Board of Health
ha * taken the necessary steps to prevent the
spread of the disease.
NEBRASKA CITY , Dec. 8. ( Special Tele
gram. ) It Is true that there are several
case * of smallpox In Nebraska City. The
disease so far is of a very mild type.
Proper authorities are taking stringent
measure * to prevent Its further spread.
BroBKht from Nebraska City.
About three weeks ego a member of one of
the afflloted families In this olty visited Ne.
braska City and undoubtedly brought the
dlsesase with him , for he was at once taken
ill with it , although the attending physician
declared it to be chicken pox. The disease
o far baa been very mild and has not
troubled th * afflicted people very much , as
Chey have been about. In fact , of the seven
cases In Omaha several have already almos
run their course. None of them are danger *
ou * . The disease Is supposed to have been
brought to Nebraska City by a couple of
soldiers whe returned from the south.
"What are the ohancas of an epidemic ? "
aid Dr. Ralph la answer to an Inquiry
"That is difficult to answer. Certainly the
two weeks that the disease baa been here
baa given it plenty of time to spread through
the neighborhood. It is in very mild form ,
bowever , cannot see how it was not de
tected before. "
"The people who have been exposed at all
to the disease should vaclnate at once , " de
clares Olty Physician Spaldlng. "Tho
ooner the better. It will lessen their chances
of letting the disease and even If they are
attacked by It It will be in mild form. I have
seen to it that there is a plentiful supply of
the necessary virus In the city , and the
Board of Health will at once Issue an order
to vaccinate. People should also keep

JOBBERS TAKE THE WARPATH
Adopt Stronnr ncnolutloni In Opposi
tion to the Proponed Exposi
tion fur Next Year.
Omaha jobbers having failed In their cf-
lorts to have the promoters of the 1899 ex
position abandon their enterprise at a
mooting in the Commercial club yesterday
afternoon adopted the .following resolution :
Resolved. That we. the jobbers , wholesale
dealers and manufacturers of the cities of
Qmiiha and South Omaha , believe the hold
ing of an exposition in Omaha in the year
1899 will be detrimental to the best inter
ests of the cities of Omaha and South
Omaha , the state of Nebraska and the entire
west : and , bo it further
Resolved , That the jobbers , wholesale
dealers and manufacturers of the cities of
Omaha and South Omaha have been since
the Inception of the proposed exposition for
1899 strongly opposed to the same , and we
take this opportunity of making it known
to the public at large and particularly to
all those 'throughout the transmlsslsslppl
country , who have eo greatly assisted In
making the exposition of 1S98 so brilliant
a success. .
A committee was also appointed to draw
up stronger resolutions , which will bo circu
lated through the city for the signatures
of jobbers and all others opposed to the ex
position , which will present uch a showing
of adverse sentiment that Is Is believed will
cause the promoters to hesitate in their
actions. This resolution ! as follows :
Resolved , That wo believe the holding of
en exposition in the year 1899 in Omaha
would result to the detriment of the manufac
turers and jobbers of this city , as well as to
the best interests of the state and community
at large , and will detract from the great
advantages and high standing secured to
the transmlsslsslppl country through the rep
utation derived by the success of the expo-
sltlon of 189S and will further tend to ills
solve the harmony and good feeling that now
exist between this city and surrounding ter
ritory ; and be It further
Resolved , That we re earnestly opposed
to the proposition and that we will discour
age the same In every legitimate manner.
Telegrams were sent to the Nebraska del
egation in congress requesting it to with
hold support from any measure tending to
pledge government aid of the enterprise un
til after the jobbers have an opportunity to
present their side of the case.
Tha meeting decided to take such other
stop * to put an end to the proposed expo
sltlon as may suggest themselves , among
them an effort to have the owners of the
property on which the exposition Is located
refuse to renew the lease rte the new
company.
A mass meeting will probably be called
for some evening next week to which every
body will be Invited who is opposed to the
exposition , and an attempt will be made to
sound an alarm which may have some influ
ence upon all those interested in the busi
ness welfare of the city.
It is proposed to hold meetings every day
to discuss the progress of the work in this
direction , and nothing is to be left undone
which will handicap the promoters of the
enterprise and finally induce them to throw
up the whole matter.

Concerning Btr t Car Berrtce.
OMAHA. Dee. 7. To the Editor of The
Bee : It is quite amusing to non-politicians
t notice the avidity with which some o
our city aldermen introduce ordinance * re
questing the street car company to builc
new lines , presumably to benefit people Uv-
tng on the south side , while the lines we
have furnish so little accommodation to these
ame people. Here are a few objections , or
I might call them chantes In management
of old lines which should be made previous
to adding new track.
A person living on the South Omaha line
should have . transfer to any part of the
city for one fare. Trains should be run frequently
quently enough to avoid sandwiching in pco
plo during hours workmen are going to am
from work. If you question this , any morn
Ing notice cars going south between 6 and
7:30 : o'clock with employes of packing house
whose nickels should have the same valu
In this free country as those ot the Farnam
street resident. Today , If you are fortunate
to live near the South Omaha line , you are
compelled to pay two fares if you wish to
go west on Farnam street , west on Harney
street , west on Walnut Hill or north on
Twenty-fourth street , while there Is no good
reason for it excepting the ovaries of the
car monopoly.
Can any city councilman or street railway
magnate explain to the public how the street
railway company can be defrauded In grantIng -
Ing such transfers ?
Another thing our city fathers might inter
est themselves In , and that is 'ho manner in
which this corporation will remove snow
from the tracks and pile it four nnd live
feet high on the sidewalk and leave it for the
eun to dfspose of. See southeast comer
Twenty-fourth and Vln'.on streets.
Street railway magnates wonder why op
position cornea to them at times. These are
a few things regular palroas of the road
would like to see a change for ' .he better
in , and if we could only enlist a feiv sledge
hammer blows from The Uce these 'coupon
clippers" might take warning nnd cease
/holding up those compelled to use our city
railway. Yours sincerely ,

at previous sales were sold at auction yes
terday In the State building on the exposi

Will Provide ( or Clean Sidewalk. .
According to an ordinance which baa been
Introduced In the oltv council by Councilman
Stuht property owners will be required not
only to clear the snow off the sidewalks at
the conclusion of a snow storm , but will
also bo compelled to keep open two feet of
the gutter In front of the curb line. This
ordinance has been read a first and second
time.
Although It has been generally believed
that an ordinance exists that compels prop
erty owners to clean snow off their walks ,
the records In the cltv clerk's office do uot
show any such ordinance. It did exist atone
ono time , but the whole chapter In which
U was included was repealed and in the new
ordinance that was passed there was no
sidewalk cleaning provision.

Crawford alleced in the complaint that Mll-
lion , who Is an need Italian , had filed his
first papers for the purpose ot becoming
naturalized as Frank Roma and that this
was douo with the intention ot defrauding .
the city. The only way , It Is urged. In which J J I
this could have been done was In obtain

What Boro-Lifhia Water Ab
solutely Contains.
An eminent chemist's report :
Chemical Laboratory of Bellevue Hospital
Mcdltal College. Is'cw York , Juno 7 , 1S97.
Mr. James 1C. Anderson , President of the
Waukesha Water Company :
8lr-I have submitted Uoro-LHhta Water
to analysis and Jlnd It to correspond
spend with the Waukesha Nat
ural Spring Water In the character of 1U
salts. I llml that It ALSO CONTAIN.
LITHIA AND BORIC ACID. These sub
stances ARE ADDED , the llthla as ciir-
bonate. the boric ucld In the free f-tate.
The lithium carbonate Is held in COM
PLETE SOLUTION In both the still nnd
effervescent water. The water thus be
comes an excellent vehicle for carrying to
the system n llthla s lt of nlkallno reac
tion. THE FORM MOST DESIRED BY
PHYSICIANS.
My analysis shows these substances to
bo present In the following amounts per
U. 8. callon.
Lithium Carbonate 14.84 grains.
Boric Acid 7.94 grains.
The public Is well Informed upon the
merits of llthla when ACTUALLY PRES
ENT In table or medicinal waters. Boric
acid also possesses many of these.
The Natural Waukesha Hygenla Spring
Water Is a remarkably pure water of
apreeable taste and without odor , and thus
otters advantage fop treatment which even
distilled water does not , on account of unpreventable -
preventable contaminations *
This agreeable taste Is not Impaired be
cause of the skillful way In which the boric
acid , which Is ta-'teloss , and the lithium
carbonate are blended.
Boric ncld is a mild acid , the BORATE8
ARE SLIGHTLY ALKALINE ; both are
voided by thn kidneys and act as SOLV
ENTS FOR URIC ACID. The boric acid
thus supplements the action of llthla. It
arrests formentlve processes , and thus prevents -
vents as well as cures abnormal conditions.
Being moat palatable and healthful , Boro-
Llthla Water is especially well adapted to
table use. Yours respectfully.

JLootc ,
When you can buy a fine kid lined RiiBsinn leather
slipper for 2.50 a pair you're not doing badly. When
you can buy them for 2.25 you're doing a great deal
better. When you can buy them for 1.90 a pair ,
you are doing something extraordinary and that'g
just what you can do right here. In maintaining
this we simply want to give you an idea of how cheap
we are selling men's Christmas gifts , whether slip
pers or smoking jacket or shoos or hats or gloves or
bath robes or neckwear or suspenders or anything
that a man wears. A list of prices won't help you
much. From now until Christmas Eve the paper ?
will bo filled with prices that don't mean a single
thing until you see the goods. We have slippers for
men at 50c a pair , that cost that much to make them
but ; it would sound bigger value to say they were
1 'dollar slippers marked down to 61) ) cents. " We don't
do business that way. Wo want every lady who
wants goods in our line to come in and look over
what wo have. You do the looking and the goodi
will do the rest.
