Railroads Hnstl for Coal.
Much has been said about the "alarming
scarcity" of coal on the Burlington road,
and reports from Lincoln Indicate that the
situation Is such as to menace the move
ment ot trains. "An official" Is quoted by
a Lincoln paper as saying "the situation
could not be more threatening."
Inquiries at the office of General Manager
Holdrege yesterday brought this statement:
"Our coal supply Is short. Ilka that of
nearly every road In the country. But th.
situation Is not alarming by any means: In
fact. It cannot really be called serious,
slnoe we have been able to get all the coal
needed and still see our way clear, by per
slstent effort, to meet the demand. This
requires constant hustling, 'that Is true,

keep things going. But like the Burlington

NEW JUSTICEOF THE PEACE
C. H. Knbat Selected by Connty Com
missioners to Succeed George
A. Prlcbard.
Attorney C. M. Kubat Is to succeed
Oeorge A. Prlchard a. a Justice ot the

and a better Job.
The other matters before the board at
this morning's meeting were not of par
ticular moment. Commissioner O'Keeffe
had his war paint on In anticipation of a
bill from Moses Sturman and Albyn Prank
for back pay, but there were no "doings,"
as the bills will not be reached until th.
next meeting. When It was decided to try
to stir up old delinquent taxpayers by serv
ing upon them apectal notices of threaten
ing nature 8turman and Frank were given
the Job at 16 cents per notice served. Later
they complained that they found this not
-i?rh nnd were allowed 25 rents per no
tice served, the raised rate dating back to
May 1, at which time their work began.
Still later they again complained of the
scale and were allowed 50 cents per notice
served, this rate to prevail from July 1.
Now they ask the commissioners to go back
to May 1 with the 50-cent scsle and allow
them an additional 2.1 rents each on all of
the 292 notices served In May and on each
of the 280 notices served in June. This
would mean a total additional allowance
of fits for the two months.
Employes in the various offices of the city
hall - have during th. last two days been
subjected to a gratuitous but enforced and
very thorough fumUatlon, and even the
visitors to the building have not entirely

Disease In Mild Form Breaks
ThanksBlvlngr and Is Just
Discovered,
At 3307 Sahler street the health depart
ment has Just discovered a faml'y In which
smallpox has existed since Thanksgiving
day without any report havlns; been made
to the authorities or any physician called
to attend the sufferers. The family con
sists of a man tamed Chappell, his wife
and their eHht children, who have been
huddled together In cramped and squalid
quarters and when Dr. Arnold, assistant
health commissioner, called Friday he
found five of the children suffering from
the disease, although three of them were
pretty well advanced toward recovery.
Those of the family who are now 111 are
Iva, aged 13; Bessie, aged 5; Henry aged
11; Clyde, aged 16, and Earnest, aged 9.
The first report was made to the depart
ment Friday by a neighbor, who tele
phoned that he believed the family living
at the address stated bad smallpox. Dr.
Arnold went to the place and found sus
plclon to be correct, although the disease
Is not of a very severe type. It is none
the leas contagious, however, from the fact
that It Is mild In Its form. Dr. Arnold
learned that the disease first broke out In
tha family about Thanksgiving day. The
father of the family Is by trade a carpenter,
but he told Dr. Arnold that since the chil
dren were taken 111 he had not done any
work and all of the other members of the
family had stayed at home. The house has
been fully quarantined.
