PAINT FOR SHERIFF'S OFFICE

"The sheriff's office la positively filthy.
It'a an outrage to aak tha publle to trans

This waa the declaration of Commissioner

lution Introduced by Ostrom Instructing ths
county clerk to dispense with the ordering
ot duplicate tax books and the writing ot
tha aama for the year 1801, or in any fu
ture year, until otherwise ordered by some
board. It was this set ot book that served
the member from South Omaha as a red

those who aay that beneath its veneering

thing prophetic of coming events. The

CHICAGO FIREBUG AT WORK
Firemen Are Called Upon to Contend with
t LongString of Incendiary Biases.
i
EXTINGUISH TEN FIRES IN ONE DAY
Moat Berlons Occnrs This Msralag, tn
Which Fifty Thoasaaa Dollars
Worth of Property Is Destroyed
Before Blase Is Qaenehe.
CHICAGO, April 12. After extinguishing
several Area yesterday, most ot them to
gether and apparently ot Incendiary origin,
the firemen ot South Chicago at daybreak
today were called upon to contend with
the most serious of tbe long string of
blaiea.
. Tbe first of thia morning's fires consumed
a barn containing several horses. St.
Patrick's church came next and waa de
stroyed before the Bremen could reacb It
Scarcely bad they reached the church when
they were called to fight a dangerous look
ing fire at Wlllard Sons A Bell Forga
worka. After a hard fight here tha flames
were checked. Meanwhile tba warehouse
of the Washington Ice company had caught
Ore and before tha flames were subdued
$5,000 damage had been done. Tbe Calumet
theater came next, sustaining $10,000 dam
age before tbe Ore was extinguished. A
four-story structure having a feed store on
the ground floor and dwelling above was
discovered to be burning before tha theater i
fire was put out. Two families escaped In
their night clothes. The building was de
stroyed. Meanwhile Nloholss Scbroeder'a
saloon bad burned down.
Loss In the Fire.
The total loss of this morning's Are Is
put at $50,000. Aa the buildings wera not
near each other the firemen declare that
the fires were the work ot an Incendiary.
The people of South Chicago were greatly
alarmed by the rapid work of the firebug
and a careful watch Is being kept today.
The financial loss In the fires of yester
day aggregated $20,000. Evidence of In
cendiarism was so convincing, however,
that citizens joined the police in patrolling
the streets In an effort to guard property
and capture the Incendiary or Incendiaries.
In spite of the extra precautions, however,
today's fires were started. Ciltena were
bewildered at the attack and daylight was
welcomed with great relief.
A demented boy, supposed to be a
pyromanlac, is said by several residents to
have been seen at all the Urea. Ha Is
about 17 years of age and weara a red
sweater and derby bat. Three residents
say that they could Identify him if they
see him again. Their description tallies In
each case. The police are looking for htm.
PROTEST FROM JONES STREET
Property Owners Object to Having
Garbage Damp Near Their
Premises.
The designation of the foot of Jonea
street as a public dump has sustained a
setback on account of the protest of per
sona owning property In that vicinity, and
the result Is that tbe matter is again in
tbe air. Mayor Moores said yesterday morn
ing: "We have no suitable place In mind now,
but It la a question that will have to be
settled soon. The city engineer and I
will start out In a buggy early next week
to And a place. When it Is found we pro
pose to bold tbe drivers of garbage wagons
strictly to account, and the dumping of
refuse matter in any place other than that
designated will be met by fines propor
tionate to the offense.
"I think the time Is ripe for Omaha to
take up tha problem ot a crematory for
the reduction of garbage, and aa Boon aa
the tax levy Is made I propose to aea what
can be done In that direction."
