of thn attltudn of tho railroad we felt tho
lack of numYlent funds, and now that the

Iilaccd In a decidedly unploanant situation.
To carry out the elaborato plans wo have

though wo had not that amount In sight, wn
felt that wo could aafcly proceed. Our In

Coinmlsaioiiei-N Aonrpt ncrnnimrndu
tliinB to Iniprovi lli- I, nt of
Omnhii I"l roiiirn.
Tho committee appointed by the Hoard
of Flro and Police comrnkslonora to in
vcstlgatn tho condition of the various lire
rotations In tho city made Its report Mon
day night recommending a numbsr of Ini
nrovoruenta which are deemed necessary at
this time. Tho committee was made up of
Commissioners ColTman, Colllrm and Kon
. Body.
Tho report opens with a tribute to the
flrctnon of tho city, who are described as a
faithful, fearless, patient set of men. Tho
committee believes that In recognition of
tho firemen's merit their quarters should
tio as comfortable, healthful and homelike as
tho funda of the department will warrant.
iA tour of Inspection among tho thirteen
flro stations convlnoed the commltteo that
tho beds in many Instancea are unfit for
use, and now Iron beds with cnter braced
wlro springs and first -class rantt teases
should bo substituted. Chief Ilcdell also
tofltlfles that some of the beds have been
In sorvlco for many years and have In a
measure outlived their usorulneas. Pur
chases have hitherto been impracticable,
Lowovor, owing to lack of fund.
The committee ndvlses that the firemen
bo allowed llfty minutes instead of forty
minutes In which to go home for thulr
mcala, tho former period noltig the usual
ono allowed In other cities. Tho reason
Klvon by the chief for the forty-minute
porlod Is that there Is Insulllclent time for
nil tho Inmates of a house to go lo their
meals If longer time is allowed. It Is only
jiosslblo for two men to leave tholr duties
nt onco, and it each remained longer than
forty mluutes tho laM nun's lunch would
bo deforred until late In tho day.
In tho opinion of the committee there Is
too rigid economy practiced In the lighting
nf tho flro stntlcns at night. The men are
paid to hitch their horses, dress and un
dress, nnd oven road In Boml-dnrkness
Tho chief explains that the only order ever
Issued to tho men on the subject wns that
they should not burn more gas than was
necessary. It was never Intended that any
one wishing to read ahould not have tho
full benefit of the gns Jets.
Tho committee recommends that a num-
fer of Wolsbach burners bo Installed and
thut ono Incandescent light be .placed In tho
sleeping rcom of each station, and one on
rlthur sldo of each apparatus arranged to

Heart trouble, at least among the merl
cans, Is certainly increasing, and while this
may bo lurgely due lo the excitement and
ivorry of American huslness life, It Is more
often tho result of weak stomachs, of poor
digestion.
Real organic disease Is Incurable: but not
cno caao In a hundred of heart trouble Is
organic.
The closo relation between heart trouble

Mid poor digestion Is because both organs , ""j " )a "J ' '. ' KourtliVrhe natural rights of man are to Twen't v-second nnd I strectH " 1

Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which Irritates
and weakens the heart.
Tho most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to Improve the digestion nnd to
lusure tho prompt nsslmllntlon of focd.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which may be found at drug stores,
nnd which contain valuable, hnrmless di
gestive elements In a pleasant, convenient
form.
It Is safo to say that tho regular, per
rlstent uso of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will curo any form of stomach

the gong.
The committee nlso points out the need
of water heating apparatus. The stations all
have bath tubs, but there H sad! to be no
means of heating water except In ten-gallon
enns on top of the stoves.
In the opinion of the committee the old
fire station on Tnth street should be
abandoned, as it Is considered unfit for
habitation. It was also considered advls
nble to condemn the station at Twenty
seventh and St. Mnry'B avenue an soon as
practicable and to erect n new house large
enough to accommodate n hook and ladder
and hoso wagon.
The total expense of the department for
ISM was HIT. 731. IS. The allowaneo for

suniclent to make the Improvements rec-

IN THE FIELD OF LABOR
Slieet Mrtnl Worker' Strrke "Will Sot
Re Settled TntM Thursday
KventiiK,
Since tho meeting of the fiheet Metnl
Workern' union Monday night there has been
no development In the striko of that body
for higher wsgos. The employers state
thnt the shop which is still running at the
scale demanded has agreed to employ no
more men unlet they will nccept the scale
established by the mployers' association.
The employers will not meet until Thurs
day evening, tho same evening upon whleh
the Building Trades' council meets, and
until that time mnKern will remain as at
present.
Tho tinners held a meeting yesterday
afternoon nt 2 o'clock at which the situation
was dlscufBCd at length. The meeting was
not empowered to take any action, but ex
pected to henr from tho employers. Thn
commltteo appointed to -rotifer with the
employers reported, and their report was
connldered, but It war the general senti
ment that It Is too early In the tight tn
talk compromise. "This Is a dull time In
tho trade," said ono of tho members, "and
wo are In nn position to make the employers
feel the rmult of the strike, but a llttla
later, when buildings aro near enough
completion to need the work of the sheet
metal workers the trouble will be nettled
quickly."
Word has been received from Portland,
Ore., stating that as certain transportation
companies and others are sending nut mat
ter to attract Immigration, the carpenters'
union of that city feci constrained to notify
all carpenters to stay away. Local carpen
ters say that enrpentem arc not now needed
In Omaha, as there aro enough here to do
all work In sight at present.
William Rnsenbrnok was elected delegate
from the Painters' union to the Hulldiug
Trades council Monday night.

Tho fusion Peter Cooper club met at a
hall on the third door at 141G Farnam street
Tuosday night with about thirty members
present, and decided to hold a dollar ban
quet,, the date being fixed, Bubject to modi
fication, at April 30. It was thought a good
plan to hold It about May 7, at which time
delsgatee will bo passing through enroutc
to the Skux Kails convention, but It was
doubtful If the attendance of Rrynn can be
secured on that date, while It had been un
derstood that ho can bo here April 30. It was
stated that Judgo Caldwell has also been
Invited, but his response has not yet been
received. Senator Allen ant Oovern Poyn

A banquet commltteo wan appointed, com
prising John O. Yeleer. E. K. Thomas, Vic
tor Wilson, Warwick fiaunders, E. I. Mor
row, A. W. Tldd nnd Collins. This commit
tee favored holding tickets at $1.60 or J2, In
order that a good feed could be given, but
the Inexorable decree of tha meeting was in
favor of a dollar dinner. If some caterer
cannot bo secured to give It at that price an
offort will bo made to have some women's
organization give tho spread.
A commltteo comprising Herman Cohen,
L. .1. Qulnby, George Magney, Willis Hud
epoth and II. F. Wclntosh was appointed to
revise the constitution and by-laws.
Steps were (suggested to secure the Rryan
picture turned to the wall by the middle-of-the-road
Peter Cooper club, but It was de
cided to Ignore that organization entirely.
It was slated that tho quarters occupied last
evening had been rented permanently and
tho following commltteo wan appointed to
have the hall fixed up and hung with pic
tures: J. Hnrry Mindrt, Herman Cohen, A.
J. Williams, E. I. Morrow nnd T. O. Kel

NEW VIADUCT IN NINETY DAYSl
Structure Spanning Tracks on Bonlerard
Goes Up at Once.
PARK BOARD ANNOUNCES ITS READINESS
I iilon I'nellle .irt Hint It Will lie.

The Hoard ,f Park ComtnlMdonors has n
well-grounded hope that the Iron viaduct
spanning the t'tiiott Pacific nnd llurllngtoti
tracks on tho boulevard near Thirty-first
street will bo ready for tralUc within ninety
days. The agreement enteied Into with the1
railroads Is that they ehall eotiHtruct the via- I
duct whenever the city declares Itself In i
rendition. Tho park board luw had a large
force of men at work along tho boulevard
between Twentieth and Thirtieth streets ami '
ban made uch progres that It feels Justified 1
In demanding that the railroads execute (
their part of the program. The nwurcoN for I
the Improvement of tho boulevard are drawn
fr. m the road fund, the annual offering
made to tho board by the slate.
Commissioner J. H. Evnns ald that In
company with Captain Palmer and E. J.
Cornlnh, the committee appointed for tho
puriK)si, ho would wait upon the railroads
today nnd request that the work bo un
dertaken at once. Mr. Cornish hns been In
Lincoln for several days or the visitation
would have been made laet week. Assistant
General Solicitor Iialdwin of the Union Pa
cific says that his read Is ready to begin the
viaduct whenever the board sofn fit. He was
not nwnro of the toard's Intention to make a
demand on the nail, but said that there wus
no chance of a disagreement.
Mr. Evans did not express such confidence
that tho proceedings would go forward
smoothly. There has been some contention,
he says, as tn who should bear tho expense
of rearing the approaches, as the railroads
considered lime this task should devolve
upon the board. The total length of tho
viaduct Is to be fino feet, and half of that
distance may be considered na an approach,
so that the point Is an Impnrlnnt ore. The
height of tho. structure above the street will
bo fifty feet.
City Engineer Rosewnter will have n
conference In n few days with the rail
roads relative to the viaduct tit Twenty
fourth street, which, under the contract,
may be completed at any time before Juna,
1001. Tho question of whether the ap
proaches shall be contitructeJ of earth or of
trestlework will be considered. An effort
will nlso be mnde to induce tho roads to
erect thn structure before tho time specified.
Work on the Sixteenth street viaduct Is
progressing favorably nnd no doubt Is ex
pressed hut that It will be finished within
tho time limit June 30.

As John Patton was colng to his work
yesterday on Twenty-fourth street, op
posite the exposition grounds, he saw what
at first glance ho took to he two men In
masquerade eostumos. fighting In the street.
Ho ran up to separate them, but on closer
Inspection concluded not to Interfere.
The objects In the road finally untangled
themselves nnd stood up. They wero
daubed from head to foot with fresh paint
of various culors. Cerulean blue dripped
from their hat brims and Van Dyke brown
oozed between their lingers. After handker
chiefs had been freely used i.Mr. Patton be
gan to understand tho situation.
The phenomenon with the green nnd yel
low waistcoat that suggested n recent plunge
In a dye vat was John J. looker, a painter.
His nose was red nnd his eyes were black,
but these tints hnd nothing to do with
his calling. The organs had been embol
Ished by tho fists of the other chromatic
presence, which wns finally recognized as
Charles Merritnan.
Looker has filed a complaint against Mer
rlman, charging him with assault and bat
tery. He says Merrlman attacked him as
ho was walking along the street carrying
four one-half gallon buckets of fresh
paint.
