REPORT BY WERTEVGlliER
Informs Mayor that Smallpox. Situation is
Not Alarming.
SUGGESTS WAYS TO ERADICATE DISEASE
Marnr Moores Will Act I nnu All n.
aeetlnn of F.apert from the
Inltral Slates Marine Ho,
pllal Service.
The report of the smallpox situation In
Omaha aa made by Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker
cf New Orleans, who Is officially Inspecting
conditions all over the state, was received
fey Mayor Moores yesterday morning and Is
tnoet gratifying to him. He said:
"The doctor's report Is of such a nature
s to be both encouraging and helpful to us
Id handling this problem of public health.
His compliments are appreciated and most
assuredly his advice will be followed as
nearly to the letter aa possible. The In
pectors will at once take up the house-to-house
examination in Infected blocks, aa
ho recommends, and t shall prepare a cir
cular letter embodying his taccinatlon ar
gument, which letter will be sent not to a
few, but to every business house, factory or
other place In which Ave or more persons
are working together. In this circular 1
111 add to his remarks my own strongest,
solicitation that they all be vaccinated.
This new glycerine lymph does away with
extremely sore arms and there Is really no
excuse why practically all Omahana should
not tske this precautionary measure."
Dr. Wertenbaker left Omaha to go to
foutn Omaha early yesterday morning and
will go from there direct to Lincoln.
Dr. We rtrn baker's Report.
The report of Omaha conditions, one copy
of which he aent to the State Board of
Health and another to Washington, is given
below In full:
OMAHA, Mrch S4 To his Honor,
lYnnk K. Moores: In arrordance with the
Instructions of his excellency. Governor
Swage, and with your consent. 1 have
this day Investigated the smallpox situa
tion In Omaha. 1 have the honor to sub
mit the following report, with such sug-
J cations as seem advisable to Improve ex
sting methods.
Dr. J. B. Halph, your commissioner of
health, has kindly given me a statement
of the methods folowed by this city for
the suppression of smallpox, an well as
the conditions as they exist at present. In
company with Dr. Ralph, I visited the
emergency hospital this afternoon and
made an Inspection of the building and
patients. There were fifty-one patients In
Various stages of smallpox at the time
of my visit. Several were about recovered
and will be ready for discharge in a few
days.
The emergency hospital Is decidedly
above the average of such hospitals. The
buildings, while rough, are warm and
comfortable and sufficiently equipped for
, the purpose. The dining room and cooking
arrangements are excellent; the food was
bountiful and much better than Is usually
. furnished; It was well prepared and well
erved. The patients seemed satisfied and
as contented as possible under the circum
stances. The hospital seems to be effl
',' clently managed. All the patlente were
doing well.
In regard to existing conditions and
methods. It Is evident from the continued
' presence of smallpox In the city, that
there must be some weakness In the
present methods. It appears that there Is
. no systematic house to house Inspection
to ascertain the existence of hidden rases
of smallpox, the health department relying
on the reports of physicians and others
for Information. There are doubtless some
cases that are not seen by a physician, or
. otherwise escape being reported. Each of
these rases becomes a center of infection
from which spring up a new crop of cases,
and the chain becomes interminable.
.Locating New Cnaes.
In order to check this process It Is neces
sary to locate as soon as possible each
new rase and safeguard It from Infecting
new material. This Is best done by a house-
to-house Inspection, which should be re-
Jieated at short Intervals until ail danger
s past.
Next to locating and Isolating existing
cases, it ts most Important to render all
persons liable to Infection Immune to the
disease by vaccination. The use of a pure
?lycernlsed lymph will obviate all trouble
rom the excessively sore arms that have
raised a prejudice against vaccination, and
with such a simple preventive at hand It
aeema criminal to permit persona to be-
Surprising Results.
A Simple Internal Remedy Makes
Remarkable Cures of Catarrh.
People who have used sprays, inhalers,
alvea and washes for catarrh and have
found how useless and Inconvenient they
are, will be agreeably surprised at results
following the use of a pleasant Internal
remedy In tablet form; druggist every
where admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
-7 'Sgljgt
which they sell at 60 cents for full slicd
treatment, la the safest, most effective
and popular of all catarrh remedies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and
throat losenges contain opiates; these cheap
medicines glTe a temporary relief, es
pecially with little children, by destroying
nerve sensation; the Irritation In throat,
which causes coughing. Is temporarily re
coved, not by removing the cause, but by
deadening the nervea of feeling, the Irrlta
. tlon la not felt, although it la still there
and will promptly return.
Stuart'e Catarrh Tablets Is the best rem
edy to remove catarrhal secretion,
whether in the nose, throat or atomarh,
because they ar composed of wholesome
antiseptics. Blood root. Red gum from
Eucalyptus tree, etc; when you use these
tableta you know what you are putting
Into your system and not taking chances
with cocaine, opiates or sirallsr poison
' found In so many catarrh curea and cough
v. medicines.
i Dr. Ramsdell. in commenting on cstarrh
curea, says: "I can heartily recommend
Stuart' Catarrh Tablets, because they ccn
tain no cocaine nor other dangerous drugs
found in so many advertlaed catarrh curea.
I have known of many cases of long stand
leg catarrh of the head and throat com
pletely cured by the dally use of thtae tab
leta for aeveral weeks. One case In par
ticular, which I could not reach with an
Inhaler or epray and where the catarrh
caused dally headaches and a noticeable
Icaa of hearing, waa entirely cured by this
harmlese but effective remedy."
Dr. Walnwrlght aays: "1 never Brsl-
tat to preecrlbe Btuarfa Catarrh Tablets
for catarrhal headacbea and catarrhal desf
cess. because I know them to be perfectly
eefe for child or adult and have seen many
remarkable curea resulting from their regu
lsr dally us; because tbey arc advertised
and old In drug atore la no reason why
any good physician should not use them,
because we should seise upon the means of
cur wherever fouad."
Stuart s Catarrh Tableta are especially
valuable tor catarrhal colds In children,
because they are pleasant to the taste and
iray be used freely to break up aevar
sold and croup at lb very beginning,
i - -
come a menace to the public hearth for
th want of Its adoption.
The question of compulsory vaccination
Is one that mjst be decided bv our city
authorities, but I will say that if every
person In Omaha was made Immune to
smallpox by vaccination you could eradi
cate the disease from the city In an In
credibly sh.irt time. I am glad to learn
that vaccination hns been made a pre
requisite for children attending the public
schools. This Is a step In the right direc
tion. I have offered several suggestions to Dr.
Ralph for Improvement In some of the de
tail of disinfection and he has accepted
them. I Inclose herewith a copy of a publi
cation Issue. I by the I'nited Htates Marine
Hospital service on the suppression of
smallpox. If the recommendations contained
therein are carefully followed smallpox will
rapidly disappear from your city. To sum
up. I recommend:
First A house-to-house Inspection, with
the prompt Isolation of patients.
Hecond The Isolation and vaccination of
all persons exposed to smallpox and the
disinfection of their clothing.
Third Vaccination with pjre tdvoernlsed
lymph of ail persons In the cltv that have
not been successfully vaccinated within a
year.
Fourth The prompt and thorough disin
fection of all Infected houses am, articles.
Fifth That the assistance of all corpora
tions, business firms and individuals be
Invoked In making general vaccination aa
thorough as possible.
Conditions Kut Alarming.
In conclusion, I beg to state that I do not
consider the conditions In Omaha at l
alarming. There are more cases of small
pox in the city than is desirable, even
though most of them are isolated In ne
hospital. I nm Informed that there has
been a steady decrease In the number of
cases for the past month, and this will
doubtleset continue as the weather grows
warmer and the people live more out of
doors, until It disappears.
The danger of the situation lies In the
fact that unless the existing rases are
found and isolated and Infected houses and
materials disinfected, the disease will re
appear again next winter and the troubles
of previous years will be repeated.
In this connection It Is suggested that all
winter clothing, etc., be thoroughly aired
and sunned for several davs before being
packed for the summer, ana that on bright,
sunny days houses where sickness has oc
curred during the winter should be thrown
open as much as possible to admit the air
and sun. Respectfully,
C. P. WERTENBAKER,
Fassed Assistant Surgeon, I'nited States
Marine Hospital Service, Bpeclal Aide to
the Governor.
The Hide Supplants the Sword.
A half century ago the sword waa con
sidered the best known weapon in warfare,
but it is now being discarded by the Brit
ish soldiers, and the modern rifle ia sub
stituted. Many people throughout the
country are also discarding old methods of
trying to cure headache, nervousness. In
somnia, Indigestion snd dyspepsia, and are
using Hostetter's Stomach Bittera, the old
reliable remedy for these aliments. It Is
recommended by physicians, and a trial
will convince you of ita value.
FOR HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL

Declaring; Their Parpoi

At a meeting held last night homeopathic
physicians of Omaha took the first step
towards establishing a homeopathic hos
pital In thla city. Articles of Incorporation
were adopted and will be filed soon. No

a state or over 2,01)0,000 people, and have
tributary to this city western Iowa, South
Dakota, Wyoming and northern Kansas,

Inhabitants; and whereas among all these
people there is not a single place where a
poor person without means can so or be
taken when sick and .be treatef homco
pathically; and, whereas, " there Is hardly
a day when some needy and worthy sick
who desire to be treated by the school of
medicine of their choice are not denied
this privilege on account of there being
no place to which to take them unless they
are able to pay their hospital expenses;
realising and knowing these facta aa w
do, be it
Resolved, That we homeopathic physi
cians of Omaha here assembled do pledge
ourselves to do everything In our power
to establish and equip a homeopathic hos
pital In this city, and be It further
Resolved, That we as physicians will

will Justify to start such an Institution
In Omaha, and will give free of charge
our time and skill to any needy poor who
become Inmates of said hospital, and be
It further
Resolved, That reputable physicians of
all recognized schools of medicine be al
lowed to bring their patients to this hos
pital with full assurance that they will
receive the same rnurteous and careful at
tention accorded the regular staff of phy
sicians, and be it further
Resolved, That we make an appeal to all
our friends and to the charitably Inclined
people of Omaha and vicinity to contribute
toward the establishment of a homeo
pathic hospital In the city of Omaha.

Answer to Moane'a Allegations
Repnhllcnna Pleased with
Rally Hesalts.
At a well attended meeting of repub
licans at Twenty-seventh and T streets
last night nearly all of the candidates were
present and spoke. A great deal of en
thusiasm was shown and those who at
tended the meeting left with the Impres
sion that the next mayor of South Omaha
would be a republican. Most of the Inter
est in the campaign seems to crater in the
head of the ticket and it was openly as
serted at this rally that Loechner wa rap
Idly losing ground, while Sloane and Carley
were not considered in the fight at all.
Since Mr. Sloane bss seen fit. through his
personal organ, to print a card in relation
to his tsxes due the city. City Treasurer
Koutsky deems It advisable to make a
atatement In regard to the matter and this
statement follow:
A card appears In the World-Herald
under date of March signed by Mr. W.
O. Sloane, that Frank Koutsky, republican
randldate for mayor, has been endeavoring
to mislead the public with respect to cer
tain taxes which Mr. Sloane owes to the
city of South Omaha and are, aa he con
cedes, still unpaid.
I wish to say In reply thereto, that at
no time during the campaign have' I men
tinned Mr. Sloane or his shortcomings to
the public and that I am perfectly satisfied
to leave the merits of the respective candi
dates to the people and to abide by the
result of their decision on ADrtl 1. In order,
however, that the public may fully under
stand this controversy, I desire to say that
the books of the city treasurer show that
Mr. Sloane is Indebted to the city of South
Omaha for taxes to the amount of $233.30.
It la also true that Mr. Sloane holds cer
tain warrants Issued by the rlty of South
Omaha In his favor. Whatever book ac
counts he may have or claim to have Is
unknown. If, however, he has any such
account, It should have been presented to
the city before this and some disposition
made of It. About February , 1H01, Mr.
Sloane came Into the office of the rl'.y
treasurer and presented rertaln warrants
whleh he desired to have rashed. I called
his attention to the fact that these taxes
remained unpaid and suggested that he
turn the warrants over to apply on his
account for taxes, when he replied that he
would not pay the taxes, and again asked
me to cash the warrants, which I refused
to do, but agreed to take them and apply
them on the taxes as far as they would
go. which offer Mr. Bloane refused.
At no time have I made the atatement
that Mr. Sloane owed any specific amount
of taxes. The statements which I have
given herewith are as shown on the books
of my office and can be verified by anyone
Interested. I desire further to state that
Mr. Sloane, as well ss anyone else, knows
that any claims he may have against the
city, whether liquidated or not, cannot be
set off as against a claim for taxes, and
that the only way that a tax against an
Individual and in favor of the city can be
satisfied is either by payment In money or
the presentation of a warrant drawn In
the proper fund.
I desire to state further for the benefit of
Mr. Sloane and all other persons, that Mr.
Rosewater Is not my manager and Is In
no way connected with the management
of my present campaign; that I desire to
make the race for mayor In this election
on my merits, and that I do not believe
that any attempts that Mr. S'osne or any
one else may make to drag Mr. Rosewater's
name Into this campaign will Influence the
voters of South Orrmha In any manner
whatever and that the people will pass
upon the merlta of the respective candidates
upon election day regardless of. the inu
endos of Mr. Sloane or anyone else regard
ing the backing of the various candidate.
Respectfully, FRANK KOUTSKY,
Confera wfth Physicians.
Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker, who ia in charg-s
of the government marine hospital at New
Orleana, waa a visitor In the city yester
day. H met member of the Board of
Health and quite a number of the local
physicians at the council chamber at noon.
Dr. Wertenbaker addressed those pretent

tention to smallpox and other contagious

up by the Board of Health at one.
Complaint About Kmergeuey Hoapltal
J. D. Homan. nurae at the emergency
hospital, was at the city hall yesterday
complaining about the condition of the
walls. He asserted that the plastering was
Imperfect and that the walls were so
rough that It would, under the circum
stance, be Impossible to keep the place In
a aanltary condition. The plan waa to
avoid a white finish on the wall so that
whitewash could be laid on every week or
two. Mr. Homan aaya that the condition
of the walla will harbor all of the small
pox germs In Nebraska. City Engineer
Beal admit that the plastering I not up
to standard and he will not approve the
work if be la called upon to decide the
question of the completion of the hospital.
Mr. Homan la moving- hi household goods
Into the living room of the hospital, but
he insist that the plastering in the ward
room be changed ao aa to conform to the
specifications.
Sample Ballota Iasaed.
The new sample ballot, prepared in ac
cordance with the order given by Judge
Baxter Tuesday, were Issued yesterday.

candidates are now satisfied with ths
makeup of tha ballot. Today aeveral thou
sand ballota will be issued and by the end
of the week official ballots will be turned
over to the city clerk.

It seems that the people are still talking
of the recent bond deal put through by the
