The smallpox situation In Omaha has be
come decidedly serious , and the physicians
of the local health department make no
concealment of their apprehension that nn
epidemic of considerable extent Is Impend
ing. There arc four known cases of the
disease In as many different sections of the
city , and at least two of these have- been
cither unknowingly or knowingly exposed ,
nufllclcnt to make It very probable that
other coses will t * reported In the near
future. The only ray of comfort that the
health department can extract from the situ
ation Is that the disease Is as yet of com
paratively mild form varlolold. The health
officials arc talcing energetic efforts to pre
vent the spread of the disease. Superin
tendent Pearse has Issued a general order ,
requiring all school children to be vaccl-
nataed as a , requirement for attendance at
the public Bcbools.
The. following are the cases that are re
ported and arc being cared for under the
direction of the city authorities : The Mc
Coy family , on the far northern end of the
Florence boulevard , reported a couple of
weeks ago' the Newton family , 3924 North
Twenty-eighth avenue , about a mile south
west 4 > f the former case , reported Sunday
the 18-year-old daughter of Ernest Peycke ,
213 South Thirty-sixth street , reported Mon
day ; Peter Kennedy , 1214 South Sixth street ,
reported Tuesday.
Next to the anxiety caused by the report
of the new cases of the disease the city
physicians are most mentally disturbed by
the actions of Ernest Pcycko In connection
with the cane In his family. Mr. Peyckc has
taken steps to avoid the disease and to es
cape quarantine In a manner that the physl-
clan,8 'do not hesitate to declare criminal ,
and they threaten to make It warm for him
In case that they can locate him.
Peyckc Leave * Town.
The afflicted member In the Peycke house
hold Is the 18-year-old daughter. She has
been 111 for n , short tlrao and on Saturday
the rash of the disease broke out upon
tier. Monday the disease was declared to
be smallpox and Mr. Peycko and his little
eon left the house. Where the two have
gone , neither the family nor the physician
will tell. At the office of Peycko Bros. , In
quirers are told that Mr. Peycke has gone
out of the city. If he Is located In the city
the health officers Bay that they will take
energetic action against htm ; It ho has left
the city , they are powerless.
Monday Mr. Peycke ordered a telephone
to be put Into his house and was very
anxious that It should be Installed during
the afternoon. Not knowing that a case of
smallpox existed In the family , the telephone -
phone company compiled with the request
and a man was set to put In the Instrument.
This employe of the company will be
closely watched and If any symptoms of the
disease should appear ho will be Isolated.
In the Kennedy case , a number of people
have been In contact with the victim , but
unknowingly. Kennedy has been elck for
a 'couple of weeks , but he thought that he
was afflicted with chicken pox and had no
medical attention. A physician accidentally
discovered the nature of his disease when
lie was in attendance on another patient In
the same house. Since Sunday the city
physicians have found that a dozen different
people have been In close contact with Ken
nedy , many of them children , and these per-
, < * etui haxetbeennutunder ur.vejllance.
The' Board of Health is making an en-
de&vor to discover every person who has In
any way come In contact with any of the
afflicted people. These persons arc vaccl
Dated and every one who has come In con
tact with them Is also Innoculated. They
have been warned of the danger they ar
In from the disease and told what precau
tions to take. They are watched and II
they ore stricken with the disease they will
be Isolated.
Vaccination to Be General.
The cases In the Poycko and Kennedy fara
illes are connected. Kennedy was an em
ploye of Peycke Brothers and had the dis
ease two weeks ago. It la believed that the
Feycke girl got the disease from him when
eho visited the firm's establishment. How
Kennedy got the disease Is unknown , but
U IB believed that he brought It to the city
as ho wae In the employ of the Peycke
Brothers but , a short time. Other employes
of the flrm were In contact with him.
v , The children of both the Peycke and Ken
nedy families attended parochial schools anc
thoeo Institutions have required that the other
pupils must be vaccinated. All public
school children must also be vaccinated
As a precaution , City Physician * Spaldlng
requested Superintendent of Schools Pearse
to Issue ft general vaccination order , and
the latter immediately complied. No chile
will be allowed to attend any public school
of the city unless he or ehe presents a
corticate of vaccination from a physician
' Children who cannot afford the cost of vac
cination will bo vaccinated at the expense
of the city.
While the situation is serious , City Physi
cian Spaldlng does not believe that a pest
house Is aa yet necessary , although he has
made arrangements for one. Regarding
this , he says :
' "AH' the cases' so far reported are of
mild form and can be properly cared for In
the 'homes. We have been able to suffi
ciently Isolate them. In case that It Is
necessary to remove any person from his or
ber .residence , however , I have made ar
rangements to secure a smallpox hospital or
u pest house upon twenty-four hours' notice. '
Site * for Auditorium.
The auditorium committee haa decided to
aak the public to eend propositions for sites
for tha structure to H. H. Harder. The Mini
of the boundary In which the site must b <
located Is aa follows : Capitol avenue on thi
north , Howard street on < the eouth , Twelfth

the west. The site must occupy a half blocker
or a tract of land 132x264 foot. The propo

COUNTERFEITERS ARE BEFORE THE BAR
John Ilrovrn Get * Seven , John Mc-

Three Year * In the Penitentiary
'at Sioux Pall * , 9. O.
Tuesday afternoon United States Marshal
Thutnmell and his assistants lined up a
motley crowd of convicted prisoners before
Judge Munger , who proceeded to dispense
a few fine * and sentences by way of re
minder that It don't pay to sin against
Jnclo Sam. The big prlzca were won by
John Brown and John McCarty , who got
seven and five years , respectively , for
counterfeiting.
Before taking up the question of een-
ences Judge Munger overruled the mo
tion for a new trial In the case of Brown
and McCarty. He hold that the variance
Between the facts alleged In the Indictment
and those which appeared In the evidence
was not sufficient to furnish an adequate
basis for another trial. In regard to the
contention of the defense that the prisoner
could not be convicted of having passed
counterfeit coins as "true and genuine , "
because the secret service agents to whom
: hey had cold them knew they were coun-
: erfott when they took them , the court took
: ho view that the Intent to defraud could
not bo alleged and that there was not suffi
cient proof to justify conviction on these
count ? . He stated that ho would therefore
not consider these counts In passing sen
tence and would overrule the motion for a
new trial on the remaining counts.
Seven and Five Year * .
The attorneys for the prisoners spoke
Briefly In an effort to Induce the court to
lenient In Its Judgment and emphasized
the statement that they had to be led to
offend by the officers , who had furnished
the evidence 'by ' which they were convicted.
Judge Munger then sentenced Brown to
pay a fine of $100 and costs and servo
seven jears In the penitentiary at Sioux
Falls , S. D. , on each of four counts , the
sentences to be concurrent. McCarty re
ceived the same fine and a five years' sen
tence on two counts.
Moses Koben , the old man who Is alleged
to have spent a lifetime In manufacturing
counterfeit coin , was given a sentence of
three years at Sioux Falls In addition to a
fine of $100 and costs. Roben Is 73 years
old and his age Is presumed to have op
erated In his favor.
Charles Hauffler , a farmer boy from Har-
lan county , was fined $26 and costs and
sentenced to six months in the Dodge
county Jail for passing a counterfeit $10
bill In the summer of 1897. It was state ?
In his favor that this was his only offense
and that otherwise he had borne an ex
cellent reputation. As his sentence dates
from the first day of the present term of
court , October 14 , he will bo out In time
to help plant the corn crop In the spring.
Peter Rlggs and Robert Tompklns were
fined $100 and costs and sixty days each
In the Douglas county jail for Introducing
liquor on the reservation. Their sentences
date from the first day of the term.
Dorney Cae Near * the End.
The case of the United States against
Frank M. Doraey of the defunct Ponca
bank Is approaching Its end and It Is ex
pected that the government will rest some
time today. W. B. Logan remained on the
stand during most of the day yesterday
and continued his Identification of the notes
and tickets In regard to which he was In
terrogated on the preceding day and later
W. A. Hartley , clerk for the receiver , was
called and started over the same track.
It Is not expected that the defense will
Iccupy as much time as the government
has required and It Is possible that the
case will be finished this week.

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
See May Bat with Impunity Certain
Font * Which Arc Rank Tolion to
Other * .
The constitutional differences and pecu
liarities which exist among individuals
should always be carefully watched and con
sidered. One person can handle poison Ivy
with Impunity while another Is poisoned If
only in the vicinity of the vine and without
contact. Some members of a family resid
ing in a malarial district will suffer regularly
with chills and fever while other members
will not be at all affected.
Food that Is actually poisonous to eome
persons , will not so act on others. One per
son may ent all kinds of green fruit and
vegetables with Impunity , while another
person could do so only at the risk of life.
Certain kinds of fish are actually poisonous
to some people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
It Is this peculiar condition of the system
which constitutes the danger point In the.
Individual case and should be prudently ob
served bv each one for himself. Intestinal
derangements frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food. Thus
a person affected with kidney or liver trouble
should not eat very white bread since thn
extreme whltenesu Is often produced by the
use of alum with an Inferior article of flour
and as alum IB known to be poisonous In Its
effects on a sound constitution , this Is why
alum baking powder Is never used by people
of judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends upon
whivt we cat than many people realize and I
Is for this reason that the different states
are one by one passing pure-food laws.

FRIED DENIES THE "CHARGE
tlmt He linn Not tli-en ItccclvltiK
Any Stolen Property nnd the
Stuff Taken Wn * IIU Own.
Max Fried appeared bcforo Judge Gordon
nd entered a plea of not guilty to having
ccelvcd stolen goods. The case was con-
Inued for trial.
The search warrant which was the founda-
lon for the complaint alleged that Fried
ocelved five butts of tobacco and two sncka
of coffco belonging to T. J. Williams , pre-
umably Mullen , and two sacks of grami-
ated sugar belonging to Shaw & Fell. The
omplalnt charges him with the receipt of
00 pounds of roasted coffee belonging to
T. J. Mullen. This was , according to the
omplalnt , sold to him by I. Schwartz.
Fried holds that the officers went to his
place at 2403 Leavenworth street and took
offee from the bins and filled sacks with It.
le says It would be Impossible for an expert -
pert to select coffee under similar clrcum-
tances , because the bins contained different
kinds. Ho Insists that ho has been guilty
of no wrong-doing. His attorney , Jeffries ,
alsed the same point concerning the search
warrant as was emphasized last week In the
gambling cases that Is , that the warrant
nust set forth the exact location of the
julldlng to be searched , the floor of th
mlldlng and the city and county In which It
s situated. In the gambling case Judge
Gordon held the point well taken , denied
he writ and ordered the return of the
ablefl , cards and chips which had been con-
iscated at the time the gamblers were ar >
csted.
Tuesday afternoon Attorney Jeffries In-
Isted upon taking up the compfalnts upon
which Frled's two stores had been searched ,
le raised the point that no location was
given In the warrant and It was therefore
nvatld. Judge Gordon ruled this to bo true
nd denied the writ. He ordered the return
f the articles enumerated upon the back
f the search warrant.
This meant the removal of all the ma-
erlal evidence against Fried. Deputy County
Attorney Thomas protested , but an order
was written by Mr. Jeffries Informing the
ollce that they should turn over his prop-
rty they had taken. This order was dis
obeyed by Captain Donohuo and the court
about to clto htm to appear to answer
o the cliargo of contempt when the captain
hanged his mind , The coffee and sugar
delivered to Fried and ho was per
mitted to place the sacks In his wagon.
Then he was rearrested and the two men ,
'aylor and Brown , who were with him. All
were locked up until Fried agreed to permit
ho poNce to keep the goods until his trial
t they w&uld release him and his two men.
'his was conceded.
The case against Igadorc Schwartz and Si
Sutton , who are accused of stealing the five
butts of tobacco from Paxton & Gallagher's
ilatform , afterwards found In Frled's
store and recovered without the aid of a
March warrant , commenced before Judge
Jordon about 4 o'clock. Employes from
'axton & Gallagher's store Identified the
obacco and a. boy testified that ho saw the
Wo defendants loading It Into their wagon
a block way from where It was stolen. The
efense sought to prove an alibi by Isadore
Schwartz and his father , who testified that
hey were selling turkeys In South Omaha
at the tlmo the robbery occurred. Max
ried denied that he had ever bought any
obacco from the defendants and that they
tad not been In his store since sometime In
> ecember.
Homer Painter haa flled a complaint In po-
Ice court charging 6eorgo W. Wilson with

that on December 33-Wilson forced his , way

J. R. Turner -was flned $10 and costs for
the larceny of two 25centmirrors from

Trust company to keep It out of the forty-
foot strip running through the Horbnch prop
erty , along the old IJarbed Wire works site ,
to Fourteenth street.
Recently the Omaha Bridge nnd Terminal
company purchased the track of the Union
Pacific running along the west side of the
strip In dispute. The whole controversy Is
whether the Omaha Bridge nnd Terminal
company should bo permitted to use the
strip , ns the Union Pacific has for four
years , or whether the strip Is to bo con
sidered as a means of Ingiess nnd egress for
the vUro works property. Tha strip runs
southerly Into Fourteenth , street and slightly
to the eastward , at a very obtuse angle to
the street.
It has been said that the hand of the
Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge and Rail
way company Is behind the Scott suit.
Rome \\cek8 ago , -while General Manager
Webster had some men atsork on the
forty-foot strip tearing up the track Scott
obtained a temporary Injunction from Judge
Fawcctt of the district court and the mat
ter has been tied up ever since. Now that
the answer of the defendant has been filed
n hearing may be had at any time.
The document gives the history of the
descent of title In the wire works property ,
a 300-foot piece , from John A. Horbach ,
through Manager .Martin M. Marshall of the
wlro works nnd his widow , Mary Marshall ,
and thcnco to Trustee Mlllard nnd to Trun-
tco Scott for the Omaha National bank and
the Loan and Trust company , the bank get
ting the north half nnd the Loan nnd Trust
company the south half. Marshall erected
his wire works In 1887. Mrs. Marshall sold
the north half last January to Mlllard and
Mlllard subsequently convoyed It to Scott
In November by a special warranty deed.
The south hnlf was sold by Mrs. Marshall
In June , 1897 , to the Loan and Trust com
pany. The wlro works are on the latter
hnlf. All this property Is on the west of
the forty-foot strip.
On the other side of this strip was a piece
of property which the Omaha Bridge nnd
Terminal company purchased from Mrs.
Mary F. Burke last May for $49,800 , the deal
hnvlng been made through E. T. Stotesbury ,
trustee for the company. It had been under
stood that the two railroad companies op-
crating tracks In the strip , the Union Pa
cific and the Chicago , St ? Paul , Minneapolis
& Omaha , did so by the sufferance of Mrs.
Burke and under an agreement to remove
thom , at any tlrao aha demanded It. The
agreement between the Omaha Bridge nnd
Terminal company and Mrs. Burke , says the
answer , was that whenever It desired It to
be done Mrs. Burke would have the tracks
removed. She did have the Chicago , St.
Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha's track removed
and bad notified the Union Pacific to remove
Its , but the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company bought the Union Pacific's track
after the Union Pacific had made prepara
tions , but before the work of removal began.
According to the document It Is recalled
that after Horbach sold the wrro works
property to the Marshalls ho procured the
two railroads to lay their tracks along the
strip in question , as though he still had
possession. These-tracks were for the bene
fit of the Marshall enterprise , but the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal compnny alleges that
the title to the strip was never conveyed to
the Marshalls nnd therefore could not be
asserted by the Omaha National bank and the
Omaha Loan nnd Trust company.
The answer also sets up that efforts have
been made to ascertain the exact boundary
line between the properties of the litigants.
Vlco President Webster of the Bridge &
Terminal company made a personal Investi
gation nnd ascertained that the railroad
tracks existed by the sufferance of Mrs.
Burke , and before the consummation of the
deal with her ho asked the bank and the
Loan and Trust company just what the
preclso boundary was and the extent of their
Interests , representing to them that he was
about to purchase the Burke property , In
cluding the forty-foot strip.
Ho was Informed by them , so says the
answer , that they owned the Marshall prop
erty and no more , and the bank had a fence
put up around Its portion , and the Loan nnd
Trust company secured a survey of It nnd
furnished Mr , Webster with a pl t. No
claim was asserted by them to the strip at
the time , says the document , nor were any
references made by Mrs. Marshall to It
In any of her deeds except that In the deed
from Mr. Mlllard to Scott a reference to a
use of It was made , but that this was In
serted subsequently to the Burke sale to
Stotesbury.
On the strength , therefore , of the silence
of the plaintiffs as to any claim to the
strip at any tlmo leading up to the Burke
sale , 'and the further fact that the piece of
the Marshall property held by the bank la
vacant and unimproved and the barbed wire
works slto proper Is being held by the
Loan and Trust company simply for sale ,
tbo Bridge & Terminal company asks that
the defendants to bo estopped from any In
junction.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
While the packers and live stock commis
sion men appreciate the now fast mall serv
ice between this city and the east , com
plaints are being made about the collection
of molls. Under the new system Chicago
mall Is now delivered to the packers nnd
commission men at 10:30 : o'clock In the
morning Instead of at 2:30 : or 4 p. m. as
formerly. The arriving malls have grown
so heavy of late that with the help now
employed proper attention cannot be given
to the collection of mall at the packing ,
houses and exchange. Eight mall carriers
are now employed and at least two rnoro
are needed to handle the rapidly Increas
ing buslnces. One man should , It Is stated ,
be employed exclusively for collecting mall
at the packing house offices and the ex
change building. The collections as now
managed are not satisfactory for the reason
that proper attention cannot bo given to
the matter of getting mall for points out-
sldo of the big cities out on time.
Shippers have complained that their re
mittances are much slower than under th
old system and It is asserted that market
reports are Also later In arriving at their
destination than formerly. Every employe of
the postofflce Is doing his best to handle
the big malls , but aa the carriers ore not
allowed to work more than eight hours , the
present force cannot handle the lettera.
More help Is badly needed and the attention
of the postmaster general will be called to
this matter shortly.
Like * South Omnlia Market.
John Anderson , a veteran Iowa stock
man , located at Atlantic , was a visitor at
the stock yards a few days ago. In speaking
of the ilvo stock situation In Iowa. Mr.
Anderson eald that quite a number of
small leaders lost money last seaton by
paying too much for feeder cattle and on
this account , some are going out of the
business. A good crop of young hogs Is
in sight and before long the supply will bo
up to former seasons. Mr. Anderson 'par
ticularly mentioned the fact that shlppqrti
are now coming to this market In prefer
ence to others. Those who have tried the
South Omaha market have returned homo
satisfied and have told their neighbors. At
the present time nearly all the hogs In
the section of the country around Atlantic
are coming here , while the cattle ship
ments to this point are on the Increase.
This. Mr. Anderson thinks. Is due largely
to the Improved service now being fur
nished by tbo railroads. There la little If
any delay at the Council Bluffs transfer
and this has done much to Influence ship
pers , besides the great saving In time and
shrinkage. In referring to the outlook for
cattle during the coming aprlng" and sum
mer Mr. Anderson was of the opinion tb t
export cattle at least will sell atverj > s t-
Isfactory prices , In fact , ha bejlevfs prices
will rule as high as $ ejr'havo been for a

will bo remembered that Cotlglns threw a
brick through a plato glass vtlmlow In tha
new Joslln block. The statutes provide
that In caste of malicious destruction of
property the magistrate must Imposu n sen
tence of thirty days In the county jail and
a fine of twice the value of the property
destroyed. As the value of the glass was
$70 the Imposition of this flno was a prob
lem for the judge , as judges of the jiollco
court cannot Impoeo a flno exceeding $100.
Judge Uabcock called the attention of
County Attorney Shields to this section
and It was decided that the only thing to
do was to bind thoprlsoncr over.
