City Charter.
"For the bcttirmont of the police force
of tlio city Pollco Judge Gordon la to be re
moved. The city officials nro united upon
this point anil the first move In this direc
tion was the adoption of the resolution at
Friday night's police board meeting , rec
ommending to the council that It take stops
to remove him. Just what course la to bo
puraued from now on Is somewhat doubtful
Impeachment may be tried , but It Is more
than probable that the legislature will bo
appealed to to remedy the situation. " said
an ofllccr of the city.
"Impeachment proceedings could properly
bo brought In the district court , " says City
Attorney Council.Vo ha\o plenty of evi
dence to support them much more than was
disclosed nt the board meeting. Judge Gor
don's withdrawal froru the meeting pre
vented ut from showing our full hand. Hut
\ve liavo evidence to prove not only that the
pollco Judge has accepted straw bonds In
pollto court , but also that ho has approved
worthless bonds for men and women whom
he has adjudged guilty enough to bind over
to the district court. Transcripts from the
records of the district court fully prove this.
With this In hand the city would have no
diniculty In showing that I'ollco Judge Gor
don has practically granted Immunity to the
dlsreputablo and criminal characters who
prey upon the citizens of Omaha and upon
strangers to the city.
Solution of the Problem.
"A much easier -nay of solving the
dlfflculty , however , lends through the legis
lature. This Is the more practicable owing
to the fact that some clause must bo In-
ecrted In the city charter to provide for the
cloctlon of a police Judge. The section re
garding this matter In the present iliarter
has been held unconstitutional by the supreme
premo court and consequently the city finds
Itself In a position whcro It cannot secure
a successor to Judge Gordon. According to
the supreme court Judge Gordon was not
ro-clected In the last spring election , but IB
simply holding over under the city election
that was held In the fall a jear bcfoie.
"Tho charter revision committee grappled
with the problem and has asked for tlio In
sertion of ft provision In the charter that
will call for the appointment of a pollco
Judge by the council. The Judge Is to boone
ono of the regularly elected Justices of the
peace for Douglas county , six of whom ore
elected every two years.
"That Is the best way out of the dim-
cully. Moreover , It will comply with every
provision of the law. The constitution re
quires that tlio pollco Judge shall bo elected
and shall hold olllco two jeara. Under the
charter , which makes an interim of three
years between city elections , the pollco Judge
could not bo chosen at a city election. We
cannot malto him an appointee of the major ,
as ho must bo elected. Therefore If ono
of the Justices o the pcaco Is chosen , -no
will comply with all legal provisions. The
police Judge will bo elected by tlio people
and elected for a term of two years. "
( iordon linn IIIn Huy.
The trial of Acting I'ollco Captain Her
formed the leading topic among the habitues
of the pollco court , with Judge Gordon as the
central figure. His honor sec-moil to take
the result good-naturedly , remarking that
he might have known bettor than to have
filed the charges before the Board of Flro
nnd I'ollco Commissioners. In referring to
the findings of the board ho pointed out that
he has been found guilty ot having continued
several hundred cases and dismissing them ,
also of having made It a practice to take
straw ball when not the least evidence was
submitted on which to base such findings.

mlt to his cross-examination regarding mj

Gordon. "I could have sat there and have
refused to answer til.n questions , and I
adopted this course at flrjt In the hope that
ho would eoon change his tactics. I In
tended then to rood the board eomo ot Its
onn rules and show them that according to
those regulations a police officer bad abto-
lutely nothing further to do with prisoner *
than to bring them to tlio pollco station
and turn them over.
"When I saw that Mr. Connell hail a great

mind that he could carry It on Indefinitely.
I tried , In withdrawing from the prosecu
tion , to read tbo board some of Its own
rules , but wan stopped from making any
argument. I shall not make any attempt to
get back at the board or tha police force ,
but will proceed to do my duty as I liave
seen It In the past. "
Chief of Pollco Martin White teemed
greatly pleased at the action of the board
In upholding the police. Ho said : "It was
not the Intention of the dcfcnso to show
that Captain Her was Justified In ejecting
Judge Gordon from the Jail office by the
judge's past conduct , but that the arrest of
NcUon was justifiable. Oneof the charges
against Her was that ho Interfered with the
administration of justice. If he could show
that the man was really guilty and that
Judge Gordon had made It a practice of
wearing out the patience of the prosecution
by continuing cases and then dismissing
them , and further by the release of prison
ers on straw bond , the charge must natu
rally fall , or at least lose its weight. It
would have been possible to bavo shown that
Judge Gordon was not In the habit of enterIng -
Ing thn jail office ; In fact , that this was the
first time he ever had gene there to Inspect
the Jail record. "

The authorities are determined to locate
the hospital In Fontanclle park despite the
protests of neighboring residents. Regard
ing this Major Moorcs says : "I fully ap
preciate the objections ot the people who
ll\o about the park , but , sifted down , they
are more of a financial character than the
result of any four of the disease. They
think the value of their property will be
depreciated. Such considerations cannot
bo regarded when the health ot the
city or the care of a victim of
smallpox is in the balance. In such an
emergency the city must take steps to pro
tect the health of the city and to care for
Its sick , without regard to minor considera
tions. In the present situation we must have
a smallpox hospital. We could not select
any slto In the city that would not be ob
jectionable , and wo must therefore get the
ono that Is least so. After thoroughly con
sidering a number of sites , we selected Fen
tanello park as the ono that will do the least
Injury and there the hospital will bo lo
cated , although It may never bo used. "
No new -cases of smallpox have been re
ported at the office of the Board ot Health
and all the patients are In a favorable con
dition.
READY TO QUIT THEIR JOBS

The resignations of the police officers who
were ordered reinstated on. the force by the
commission have been placed In the hands of
City Attorney Connell and will bo handed
over to the Hoard of Flro and Police Com
missioners at its next meeting. The board
ordered the payment of their salaries to
January 23 , In accordance with the ruling
ot Judge Keysor , and the resignations are
dated to accord with their payment.
None of the officers were reinstated to
active duty and the majority seem well
pleased at the order of the board making
them a present ot a couple ot months' sal
ary. Resignations are signed by these for
mer officers : Nicholas V. Halter , Fred D.

SCOTT GRANTS MANDAMUS

Conrt Settle * the Connty Printing
Contract ) Overturning the De-

Judge Scott sat In chambers to hear the
application ot the Festner Printing com
pany for a. mandamus to compel the Board
ot County Commissioners to execute a con
tract with the company for the county printIng -
Ing for 1899. The arguments related merely
to the facts previously stated. County At
torney Shields contending that the board
reserved the right to reject any and all
bids and that the bid ot the Frstner com
pany was not complete. The court granted
the writ after an extended monologue , a
considerable part of which prctalned to the
protest from Pressmen's union No. 32 , winch
had been Introduced in evidence. He con
tended at length that the board had no right
to consider union or non-union labor in
granting contracts. Ho declared that the
right to reject all bids was not an absolute
right and that the board should have ac
cepted the lowest bid at once alter It was
received.
HOUSE LOOTING MUST STOP
Owner * and Rental Agent * Organise
that They May I'unUh
the Vnmluls.
Since the binding over to the district
court of Charles Kills and Peter Green for
breaking Into the dwelling house owned by
R. G. Pierce , the real estate men have
recognized the necessity of organization
against depredators of this character.
Ttio Nebraska law under which thieves
are liable for forcing their way Into vacant
dwellings Is not as specific as It might be ,
and the agents Intend to see that the in
terests ot the owners are protected by their
own vigilance. Numerous houses have been
entered and the plumbing torn out Just as
It was In Mr. Plereo's house and it Is ft hard
matter to get at the men who do the work.
The pipe , brass and copper , are sold to the
junk dealers , who usually keep no record
of such a purchase , so it is hard to get a
trace of thieve * . An organization for the
prosecution of thieves and the protection
of all vacant houses , they think , would go
far toward lessening the larce number of
depredations and such an organization Is
In process of formation.

SECRETS OF THE SAUSAGE
City Veterinarian Finds tint Diseased Meat
ia Being Sold.
CONSUMERS UNAWARE OF THE PRACTICE
Illicit ! Indication mill Severe 1'cnnltlen
Arc I'ropoftiMl In Order tlint the
Public May lime Proper
Protection ,
Beef Impregnated with tuberculosis , pork
from hogs afflicted with hos cholera , meats
from the carcasses of cattle , hogs and sheep
which badied of disease or have been
killed when afflicted with dlioaso are some
of the wares that Omaha butchers ore sellIng -
Ing to consumers In this city. So City Vet
erinarian nnd Meat Inspector Ramacclottl
declares and because of his belief In this
condition of affairs ho is about ready to
submit to the city council an ordinance
whereby the sale of such meats will be Im
possible In the future.
"A few days ago I obtained
trace ot a man who was trying
to sell the carcasses of two hogs
which were plainly affected by hog chol
era , Indicated by red spets , " savs the
veterinarian , "I tried to find this man , but
failed. I have little doubt that he succeeded
In disposing of the meat nnd that It was ul
timately eold to Omaha consumers , because
I have quite often confiscated as badly dls-
cised meats that I have found In the
butcher shops of the city on sale. "
Sometimes diseased meat will bo bought
by a butcher because he does not know that
It Is diseased ; in many cases It Is bought
because It Is cheap. In the former case the
city veterinarian frequently detects It and
confiscates It ; In the latter , the butcher dis
poses of the meat as quickly as possible
either In Its original form to. private con
sumers or to the cheap chop houses of tiho
city or In the shape of sausage or other
form. City Veterinarian Ramacclottl says
that there Is no way under the present or
dinance whereby this practice can bo wholly
topped.
Method of Introduction.
There arc two way in which this dis
eased meat Is generally Introduced In the
ctly. A farmer or some other owner may
have on hand eomo stock that dies or Is
about to die. In the latter case ho kills it
Ho flays the carcass , dresses It and then
disposes of It to the city butcher. Other
diseased meat comes from a "broker" who
makes a practice of buying stock rejected
at the stock yards and of buying dead or
dlceased animals from their owners. These
animals are also flayed , dressed and eold.
This business ds quite extcnslvo , says the
city veterinarian.
Attempts have been made to stop these
butchers. Men have been arrested for sellIng -
Ing diseased meat , but the ordinances of
the city are not aufflclent to result In con
viction. Other men have been nrrestcd for
buying diseased animals and sclllog them
to butchers , but they have claimed that
they bought the animals only for their
hides and did not sell the meat , although In
many cases there Is amoral , If not a legal
certainty , that they did sell the meat tot
consumption.
TO put ar end to such a condition of
affairs the city veterinarian proposes to es
tablish a public abattoir. This Is to be
run by contract by the city. Hero every
partlclo of meat. Is sold In the city , except
such as passes through the packing houses
and therefore Is marked with the stamp of
the government Inspector , must como in on
the hoof. The animals -will bo examined
while allvo by the city meat inspector. It
they pass scrutiny they will be killed at
the abattoir nnd the city meat inspector
will hold a post mortem on the carcass to
discover traces of disease. It the examina
tion proves satisfactory , a stamp will be
affixed and the meat miy be eold to the
butcher. The meat inspector will continue
to make the rounds of the butcher chops
and If ho finds any meat without his stamp
or the tag of the government Inspector ho
wilt confiscate dt. The ' ( penalty for the
violation of any provisions of the ordinance
Is to be fine ot not lese than $50 nor
more than $200.
City Veterinarian Romacclottl has drawn
up this ordinance and has submitted It to
the city attorney. It will b handed over
to the council In the near future.

The pastor of the church. Rev. P. J. Judge ,
IB considered most fortunate In having
ccurcd the services of the.two eminent mls-
lonarlcs , Fathers Boarman and iMagcveney ,
to conduct the mlislon. Father Marshall
Ignatius Boarman is a typical American , beIng
Ing on his father's side , a lineal descendant
Ot Captain William Boarman , one
of the founders of Baltimore's
Catholic colony of Maryland. His
family alone has , within the lost 250
jears , given to the church one bishop , sev
eral eminent secular clergymen , a half dozen
Jesuit priests and a large number of relig
ious women. On his mother's side Father
Boarman Is a near and blood relation o !
General R. E. Lee. Ho Is widely known as
a zealous and successful missionary. His
st > to of preaching is plain , scholarly and
persuasive. Father Eugene Aloyslus Ma-
eeveney was born in Mtmnhls , Teun. , of
Irish parentage. After completing a bril
liant course ot studies In the University of
St. Louis , he entered tbo Society of Jesus
while yet very younc. In tha society Itself
he made a long course ot fourteen years ot
special studies In literature , philosophy , sci
ence and theology , and was thereafter as
signed to the chair of higher studies In va
rious colleges and universities. He has lec
tured several years before the Catholic sum
mer schools and is well known as a lecturer
on history , Ills style ot preaching Is very
attractive , forcible and ornate.
The Sacred Heart parish Is coming to b
ono of the most nourishing In the community
and contemplate * erecting In the near future
a temple of worship that will be a credit to
ecclesiastical architecture In this city. Us
people arc very zealous and energetic church
workers. The present mission Is expected to
bo of unusual Interest and Importance and
to contribute largely to stimulate still more
the various energies of the parish In the
Lord's work. Iho mission Is Intended pri
marily nnd principally for the parjshtoners ,
but Incidentally all are United and cordially
welcome , Catholic and non-Catholic. No
doubt many non-Catholic Inquirers will come
to hear from two such able exponents the
doctrines of Christianity as explained from
the standpoint of the Catholic church , Scats
free.

AUTOMOBILE CABS IN PARIS
Coinlni ; Into ticncritl U e Electricity

Power.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 28. Com.nl General
Gowdy at Paris reports to the State depart
ment that there has been a marked Increase
during the last year In the use of automobiles
In the city of Paris , not only as pleasure
vehicles , but for practical application as
public cabs and for business purposes as
delivery wagons. It Is announced that soon
there will be 100 motor cara driven by elec
tricity running In the streets of Paris , and ,
If the experiment bo successful , the cabs
will be Increased to 1,000. With this par
ticular project In view a large plot of ground
has been secured , where the building of
works necessary for the housing of the cabs
and machinery for the electric supply are
being rapidly completed. The training
ground also has been inado for the cab
men. This is laid out with every possible
form of paving wood , asphalt , stone , etc.
Including two steep hills. Hero and there
are dotted about a number of dummy flgurea
and In and out of tbcso the cabmen have to
maneuver under the orders of an Instructor.
As a rule in four lessons the driver is ready
to navlgato Paris and after ten lessons is
considered thoroughly competent. Each cab
Is supplied with sufficient power to be driven
thirty miles at about eight miles an hour.
Among these systems of automobiles in
Pails there are many using petroleum , which
called forth a most pronounced objection
from the public by reason , first , of the odor
following their passage ; second , the noise ,
nnd , third , for the passengers , the extraor
dinary vibration. A consummation of great
value would bo a machine which would
combine durability , speed and economy with
out these annoyances and defects.

that the lotion or wash docs not touch the !

Internal remedy should bo used , acting upon
the raucous membranes through the system.
Thcro li no remedy which acts so promptly
and gives such Immediate relief as Gauss'
