Th. meeting of the council, with Burkley
- absent, ai general committee yesterday
afternoon had the flavor of a comic opera.
For two noun the majority of the coun
ellmen present arrayed tbelr wlta against
one another and tried to say funny things.
Julius S. Cooley made a speech so loud
and impassioned that It brought the clerks
from adjoining offices to the doora. What
ever may hare been Its defects It evoked a
decision from -the eommHtee to give Mrs.
Elisabeth V. Van Brocklln $1,000 for per
sonal Injuries, said to have been sustained
la February.. 1899, by falling at Eleventh
and Harney streets on Ice on a itep leading
from the aidewalk.
A petition from the Willow Springs Die-
- tillery company and citizens In the vicinity
of Fourth and Hickory streets asked for a
water main and hydrant, aaying that prop
erty valued at 175.000 owned by them la
onttrely without fire protection. Lobeck
said that Superintendent Hunt of the water
company bad told him the hydrant, as
well aa others, might be placed If the
council desired, but other councilman, de
murred, declaring they did not know ex
actly where the council came In on tha
water question, believing that It waa In
the hands of the new water board. Bo
nothing waa done. The question brought
up another, that of permanent quarters
for the water board, and it waa decided to
fit up a large room on the aecond floor at
present unoccupied. It la on the eaat side
of the corridor and next to tha Board of

Attorney- Ogden and Charles Meti ap
peared for tha Meta Brewing company and
- protested against tha proposed closing of
Martha street, at Its Intersection with the
Burlington and Union Paclflo tracks. Tha
council has : planned for a subway under
Bancroft street to tha south, which would
divert the travel from Martha atreet. At
torney Ogden explained that tha closing
of Martha street, where a flagman la now
maintained by tha railroads, would Injur
property; owned by .tha Meta company on
Martha street. " City Engineer Rosewater
stated, that Martha street did not extend
across the tracks, never having been dedi
cated to1, .the otty, and therefore waa no
authorized highway at all at the Intersec
tion with tha tracks. No action waa taken.
It waa decided to aet aside 12,600 from
the general furid for Ak-Sar-Ben lighting.
Thlat la tha amount usually expended for
tha purpose.
Frank B. Montgomery, through Attorney

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
The Omaha City Mission association Is
contemplating several impm-tant and much
needed Improvementa to the mission prop
erty at Tenth and Capitol avenue, to he
made aa soon aa tha weather will permit.
The lot Is to be Inclosed bv a fence of a
else that will shut out much that Is ob
jectionable In the vicinity; the yard will
be leveled up and pnt In shape for a play
ground; the city water and aewer pipes
will be extended to add these conveniences
to the building, and an addition will be
built at the rear of the present building
to be used for bath, fumigating and atore
rooms. These Improvements have long
been needed and the lack of them has been
a serious handicap to the' work. The ab
sence of a fence haa mado It Impossible to
control the yard or regulate play hours for
the smaller children, while the lack of
fumigating and store rooms has seriously
interfered with the work of supplying
clothing to the needy of the vicinity. The
miscellaneous contribution of clothing
makes fumigation imperative, and a dry,
aafa place to atore these things la equally
necessary. Perhaps most Important of all
Is the bath room. Coming, aa many of the
children do. from homea that consist of
one or two little rooms that almost In
variably must accommodate a large family
and frequently members of other families
too, tha bath la practically unknown, the
reault being not only unpleasant but a
positive menace aa well. The claaa work
haa beea especially profitable this winter,
and, while much of It will be suspended aa
soon aa warm weather comes. It Is Miss
Magee'a Intention to supply other Interesta
for the summer that will keep the children
together and enable her to keep in touch
with them until the work opens again In
tha fall.

of the prisoners without retiring for con
sultation, v 1 ,
. Judge Robinson stated that there waa
aome conflict in authority regarding habeas
corpus In this case, but that the great
weight of authority appeared to the court
to protect a witness and left to a witness
to Judge tor himself aa to what questions
he shoald or ahould not answer. In dis
charging the prisoners the court held tbst
they could stand on, their constitutional
rlghta and protect themselves.

after stooping. I had to get up many , times during the night to urinate and go often during
the day. After having the best physicians prescribe for me without relief, I decided from my
symptoms that the medicine I needed was Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy. After trying a sample bottle with good results, I purchased six bottles
of the regular, size, and after taking them was entirely cured. Swamp-Root is a wonderful
remedy when a man is not feeling well, after exposure or loss of sleep and irregular meals. It
is also a great' medicine to tone up a man's system. Other members of the police force are
using and recommending Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of
this great remedy. k
The officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the
good you have accomplished in the compounding of Swamp-Root. . ,

FIRE WAKENS HOTEL GUESTS
Early Ones Have Jast Retired la Barker,
When Alarm it Bounded.
DAMAGE TO BUILDING IS NOT HEAVY
Two People Overcome by Smoke, bat
are Revived Without Hack Dlf
flealty Origin at Blaae. a
Myatery.
The Barker hotel startled everyone at
10:30 o'clock laat night by atartlng in on-a
blase ot glory from tha rear upper atory.
But tha blase waa aubdued without aerloua
damage to the building, and while tha fire
men were at work tha usual amusing and
stirring scenes were being enacted In tha
corrldora which go with a night hotel fire
which la not dangerous. Tha damage to
tha building will run between $1,600 and
$2,000, largely through water, and eight or
ten guests and employee of tha hotel lose
nearly their whole wardrobea. Fourteen
rooma were mora or less damaged by tha
blase, with aome partitions burned through
and a piece of the root gone.
Tha lira originated In a atoreroom at the
top of the central atalr and elevator abaft.
Tha cause is unknown. Oeorge Hart, a
driver for the Fred Bush Transfer Company,
and Electrician H. C. Lntsenberger of the
Orpheum were rendered unconscious by
smoke, but suffered no aerloua injury. Tha
building is tha property of the Joaeph
Barker estate and ia Insured, with con
tents, for $20,000. The hotel Is managed by
Frank Barker. There were about ISO
guesta. ' ;
A. B. Tonholm thinks that he was tha first
to give tha alarm.- S. A. Hanson, who
roomed with Tonholm, aaya that ba waa
awakened by tha crackle of flames and a
red glare through the transom. Ha waked
hla roommate, who opened the door and
ahouted Bra. Othera were awakened and
began to ahout. Carl Frlsbie, the small
elevator boy, bearing the ahout a, ran hla
elevator up to the third floor and, seeing
the fire, ran down to the clerk, William
Oordon, who turned In the alarm. Man
ager Barker, who rooma on tha aecond Door,
waa one of the first about. Most of the
guests on the top floor were able to make
their eacape by ona Of tha stairways, but
8. E. Mitchell ot Chicago was cut off and
used tha fire eacapa which opened from his
room. "Baldy" Sowers and Harry Smith,
who roomed next the atoreroom, also were
forced down tha fire eacape. A. F. Robin
eon ran through the hallway to tha atalra
and waa burned slightly on his hand. Tilly
Lett, the pastry cook ot tha hotel, ia said
to have become frantic With fear and to
have tried to Jump through a window.
Hanson and Tonholm, after atartlng the
alarm, looked to their own aafety. They
made a rope of sheets which would not
have reached to within three floors ot the
alley. Tonholm alao dropped his vest, with
his watch In It, coat and overcoat out tha
window. They were later returned to him
by Detective Drummy, who found them.
Hanson and Tonholm finally escaped by the
atalra.
Two ara Overcome.
After the flames bad been practically put
out Fireman Oeorge Blmpson found Hart
lying on the floor of hla room In a semi
unconscious condition. Ha waa carried
down to tha bar and Police 8urgeon Jung
bluth aummoned. At the same time the
workers on the aecond floor aaw another
maa atagger ta tha bead of tha atalra and
fall. He waa taken down and revived after
about a half hour's work by artificial
respiration. ' This waa Lutaepberger, who
roomed on tha floor Immediately under the
fire. He waa absent whsn tha fire began,
bat ran down to the hotel and .demaadad
ta ba .allowed to go tip atalra.. Thla as

very truly,
Chief of Police.
eoberger than went 1 to tha rear and as
cended the fins -escape. It la hard to un
derstand . how - he became overcome with
amoke, as the fire wm practically out be
fore hla arrival. He waa in the Arcade
hotel at tha time of the recent fire.
Policeman McDonald had a narrow escape
from a large piece of heavy skylight glass
which sailed past his shoulder aa he waa
holding a hoae. While the firemen were
busy In the hotel tha Dfty-flve-foot exten
sion ladder which had been raised against
the front of the building waa blown over
by tha wind. Luckily there were a num
ber of telephone and other wlrea running
obliquely from the polea to the building
and theae stopped tha heavy ladder with
out any damage being done.
