EXPLOSION AT HOSPITAL ftetm Tank of Bteriliiior Apparatus in Oparatinc Boom Ilowg Up, NO ONE IN THE ROOM AT THE TIME Doctors Had Jnst Completed Opera tloa aad They, With Pattest aad Norses, Had Jost TaJiea Their Departare. The explosion of the hot water tank of the atetillsing apparatua did considerable damage yeaterday In the operating rooma at the newly opened Jennie Edmundson memorial hospital. Fortunately, however, no one was injured, aa th nuraea In charge of th operating rooma had left a few min utea before the explosion to go to dinner. Th heavy riveted lid of th hot water tank was blown off and upwards, tearing a big hole in the plastering and steel lath ing of the celling and breaking one of the roof Joists, but not damaging the tiled roof itself. The lid in Ita descent struck one of the sterilising tnachinea, badly dent Ing and otherwise damaging It. The large plate glass windows, each ten feet square, In the general operating room and the private one of Dr. Macrae, Jr., which are on each side of the atetillsing room, were blown out into the yard below. By some strange curcuma tance the other wlndowa in these and the aterlllxing room were not damaged In the slightest, and even the glaaa bottlea and other vessels on a table near the big window In Dr. Macrae's room were not disturbed. The explosion occurred about noon and shortly after an operation had fceen per formed in the rooma.' What might hava been the consequence had the explosion taken place while the operation was In progress is hard to aay, but certainly would hava been serious. Whether the explosion resulted from a defect In the apparatus or from some other cause could not be learned ye,terday and probably will not be aacer- talned until a representative of the firm which Installed the aterlllxing machinery reach ea here. The new hospital has been In -operation only since Tuesday, February 12, when the patlenta were removed to It from the old building on Sixth avenue and Ninth street, and the accident Is greatly deplored by the management, not only- on account of the financial loss, but also on account of tho inconvenience which will reault until the damage can be repaired and the aterlllxing machinery put In proper condition, again. The membera of the Women'a Christian aa soclatlon, who own and conduct the hospital and .the staff of physicians, however, ex pressed themselves as deeply thankful that no one was Injured. The operating rooma, which are located In the east end of the building on the top floor, are separated from the wards by heavy doors and consequently the sound of the explosion waa materially leaaened. The patlenta were not . alarmed and those who heard th noise . fancied something , had fallen down the elevator. ' Clock repairing. Broadway. O. Mauthe, 128 West pi.T. Plumbing Co. Tel. CO. Night.

As one result of the meeting of th Pot tawattamie County Bar association held yesterday morning to consider complaints relative to Thomas Q. Harriaon, . practic ing in the Justice courts and advertising himself a "lawyer" and "attorney" with out having been admitted to the bar, the legislative committee ln at rue ted to draft a bill making 4t a misdemeanor for any.per.on to practice in the court, or advertise himself as an attorney or law- yer who haa not been regularly admitted to the bar.

Th meeting waa far from being a har monlou one and it showed that Harriaon ' la not Without friends among the members , of the bar.

That we deem it the duty and that It la within the province of aald grlevanc rntnmittiui nf thla a aanda t Inn a n4 we her. hv instruct uid committee to take such ' action aa aald committee may deem advls- able and expedient to prevent any person from practicing law in the courta of thla state, or any person from holding himself out aa an attorney, or counselor at law. who haa not been admitted to practice law i as proviaea Dy statute. In presenting th resolution Mr. Benja min stated he had no Interest In th matter other than to uphold the profession and to protect th public asamat any man who holds himself out to be an attorney at law by having "Attorney at Law" printed on his letter heada and other sta tionery, and in addition to having "Lawyer" painted on his office door. Is listed In th city and telephone directories as both law yer and attorney, when such a man in fact has not been admitted to th bar. Messrs. Aakwith and Schurs, members of the grlevanc commute of the association, related what had takn , place In Justice Greene's court and th action they had taken therein. C. M. Harl and Emmet Ttnley both took exceptions to the action of th grievance committee and Tinley declared he would emphatically oppose th endorsement of th committee on that occasion. H characterised the languag used before Justice Greene as disgraceful and decidedly Improper. He took occaalon to clt th name of evral present mem ber of th bar who had practiced In th juattc courta before being admitted to th bar. .Th discussion, which at thla point waa becoming decidedly heated, developed th fact that certain member of th bar had written to th judge of the supreme court protesting agalnat th admtsatoa of Har rison to th bar. Thl waa not denied, but in fact was admitted, and in support of their having done so the attorneys In question offered to substantiate th charge which they had mad against Harriaon. City Attorney Kimball waa mainly ro sKnslbla for bringing th acrimonious dls- cussion to an end by declaring It waa un seemly and should stop. He contended that Harriaon had a right to rractlce In th Juetlce courts, but that his holding himself out aa an attorney when m fact he waa not waa the only actlorable matter with which the association had to deal. After disposing of the Harrison matter by Instructing the legislative committee to draft the bill before referred to, the asso ciation took a turn at J. Brown, the aaloon crusader from Kansas. On motion of W. H. Klllpack. former county attorney, the griev ance committee waa instructed to wait on Mr. Brown " and ascertain what standing ha had In this county. First Fall 9aae Rehearsal. The many day of faithful rehearsal by the hundreds of slngere, aoldlers. dancers and children participating In Egypta re sulted in an exceptionally satisfactory stage rehearsal at the New theater last night. It la really marveloua that so much could b accomplished in so short a time. The vast festival chorua sings with precision and spirit that comes only from complete mas tery of the score. Councir Bluffs Is fairly overflowing with fine voices and now our soloist are demonstrating that they possess no small degree of dramatic Instinct. They enter into the work with a test that be tokens a keen realisation of the aplended opportunities offered them by the thrilling story of the opera. It abounds In strong scenes and brilliant climaxes. There are times when the large s'.age Is completely filled by moving masses of people. The spectacular effect of thla multitude of character, all arrayed In the rich' flow ing rosea of the orient, I at times almost bewildering and no traveling organisation could hope to rival it In massive groupings and stage pictures. One large shipment of special scenery has already arrived. Among the settings now In place Is a superb view of - the river Nile with Its pyramids and sphinx and waving palms and rushea. The waters of the river leap and sparkle under the rays of the rising tropical sun, an effect produced by the powerful electric ml chines. Another remarkable electric effect Is the "Pillar of Fire," leading the He brews through the wilderness. Salooa Papera Disappear. Learning through the morning newspa pers that he had left a batch of petitions In aaloon Injunction auita on the counter In the office of the clerk of the district court Wednesday afternoon without say ing anything to the attaches of the office as to what he wanted done with them, J. Brown appeared at the office yesterday and tendered an apology for his forget fulneaa. Mr. Brown was somewhat dis concerted when Informed that, the batch of petitions had mysteriously disappeared from off the counter during the early part of the morning. At the same i time Mr. Brown was Informed that no one in the office of the clerk of the court had had sufficient curiosity to look inside the en velopes and ascertain what they contained, the fact that they contained the petitions In certain aaloon Injunction suits, bearing hla name, being disclosed by several news papermen whose curiosity was greater than the attachea of the office. Who took the papers Is a mystery. More Mission Meetlnsra Planned. The Closing session yesterday of the district missionary rally at Trinity Meth odlPt church were better attended than on Wednesday.
