DIRTY LINEN WASHED OUT

Legislative Bill.
The Commercial club refuses to ' be
coerced Into taking up the fight of the city
hall officials who are opposed to H. R. 167.
It voted , to take no action for or against
' the bill.
i Instead of discussing the provisions of
H. R.' No. 157, known as the Andrew
Rosewater bill for changes in the'munlct
pal government, as was intended at ft
mass meeting Friday afternoon of about
150 members of - the Omaha Commercial
club, the meeting was principally devoted
to an airing of factional quarrels between
the city council ahd the city engineer's
office and resulted In the Washing of con
slderable dirty linen on both aides. .
After Mr. Rosewater had replied to the
attacks made upon- the bill, James C.
Xlnaler .moved that "it be the sense of
this meeting that we endorse II. R. No.
157." The question never came to a vote,
as ft motion to adjourn without taking
action' oa the bill was made and carried
with but few dissenting votes. Members
of the club thought It was unwise to go
on record as ft club in either endorsing
or refusing to endorse the bill," In view of
the fact that only about fifty members of
the club had remained to the close of the
meeting.

TWO PLANS FOR COEffl JAIL
One Set Contemplate! Wert Win and
Other Bemodelinff Second Floor.
LATENSER SUBMITS BOTH TO THE BOARD
Former Schema Iavolves Cost of
Twelve to Fifteen an Latter
Five to Eight Tnona
and Dollars.
At ths request of two county commis
sioners, John Latenser, the architect, has
drawn two tentative plans for the improve
ment' of the county Jail, one for a pro
posed additional two-story and basement
extension to the west of the present struc
ture at a cost of between $12,000 and $16,000,
and another for remodeling the second
flooj of the present building, formerly oc
cupied by the Jailor, to cost between $5,000
and $8,000.
. The plans .have been submitted by Mr,
Latenser to the county commissioners, but
official action will not be taken until after
further consideration aad more compre
hensive Ideas of the two plans is gained.
Some of the county commlsslsoners are in
favor of the new wing being added to tho
old building on the west, . which will ex
tend tbe structure) nearly to the west side,
walk on Eighteenth street, while other
commissioners are in favor of the rehablllt
atlon of the old Jail, believing that, with
the space heretofore used by the Jailer
utlllied in the way of cells, the present
crowded condition of the cells will be
obviated to ft great degree.
What Plans Contemplate.
The plans, as drawn by the architect for
the proposed additional west wing, call
for several separation rooms on the first
floor, to be used in segregating and class
ifying new prisoners; four modern cells on
the second floor and a kitchen In the base
ment . The kitchen .would be connected
with food chutes or dumb waiters in the
old Jail by ft tunnel. Such an Improvement
would cost at least $12,000, according to
the estimates submitted by. Mr. Latenser
and probably as much as $16,000 If the old
portion "of the Jail was Improved to any
extent.
If the plans presented for the changes
to the second floor of the Jail are adopted.
the cost will be several thousand dollars
less, but would decrease the capacity, com
mensurately. The latter plans are for the
construction of ft padded cell and cells for
Juveniles and women In the space formerly
occupied by tho Jailer. It is also proposed
In these plans to enlarge the office of ths
sheriff and bulldt a Jail kitchen separate
from the1 main building.
It la believed a padded cell Is absolutely
necessary in any event, without regard to
which Improvements are ultimately decided
upon, If any, as there Is no cell ' of this
character in Douglas county, and Its 'utll
Ity is of unquestioned value for the proper
care of insane prisoners.

gpaldlag Reports to
Kate Board.
Tho city council of Florence, acting as a
Jury, after hearing the testimony of the
plaintiffphysicians contending that small
pox exists In that city and the defendant
physicians contending that smallpox does
not exist there at ft meeting held Thursday
night, as readers of The Bee know, raised
tho quarantine placed in the three homes
where the contagion was supposed to exist
and announced to the world that Florence
was free from this dread Infection. Reso
lutions, properly setting forth the facts
and conditions, were adopted.
This Is the latest round in the contro
versial combat between the contending
physicians. Tho people of Florence are
willing to admit they may havo ft few
ohlckenpox cases within their midst, but
vehemently deny there is any smallpox.
"I have already reported the cases to the
State Board of Health as smallpox," said
Dr. 8. K. Spalding, deputy state medical
Inspector, Friday; "I do not know what ths
board will da It has no money with which
to prosecute. This Is the end of the fiscal
year and Its appropriations are all con
sumed. So far as I am personally con
cerned I have discharged my duty."
Action of Coaacll.
These are ths resolutions adopted by
the council:
- At a special meeting of the mayor and
Council of Florence, held last evening, the
following resolutions was unanimously
adopted:
V nereas, By an unfortunate mistake it
has been reported that certain cases of
smallpox exist in Florence, and,
Whereas, Such report was and Is false,
yet has been widely circulated and pub
lished in the dally papers of the city of
Omaha, greatly to the detriment of our
city and its citizens, and,
whereas, On account of such false re
ports our schools have been closed for
nearly a week and certain of our citlxens
subjected to quarantine; and,
W hereas. Our mayor and Board of
Health, for the purpose of having defi
nitely determined the nature of the ailment
of certain children of three families in
Florence, heretofore reported as having
smallpox, have employed three experts,
namely, bra. 8. R. Towns, J. B. Qulnby
and J. B. Ralph vt Omaha, to examine
and diagnose all of said cases of alleged
smallpox and report their findings; and.
Whereas, Said expert physicians, to
gether with Dr. W. O. Akers of Florence,
have this day made such examination and
diagnosis and ' filed with our mayor and
Board of Health their certificate, as fol
lows: "FLORENCE,' Neb,, Feb. 28, I907.-To
the Mayor and Board of Health of the
City of Florence! Gentlemen At your re
quest we, the undersigned physicians of
the city of Omaha, have this day examined
the members of the Mowry, Rich and
Clausen families in Florence, reported to
be afflicted with smallpox, and we do
unanimously agree In our diagnosis of each
of said patients and cases In this, that
they are or have been afflicted with chlck
enpox only, and that none ot said pa
tients (consisting of children only) have
smallpox.
"J. B. RALPH. M. D., Omaha.
' S. J. QL'INBY, M. D., Omaha.
8. R. TOWNE. M. D.. Omaha.
"W. O. AKERS, M. D.,
"City Physician of Florence."
And, Whereas, The said physicians
since Issuing said certificate nave ex
pressed the opinion that it would be per
tectly safe to raise the quarantine now on
the homes ot Messrs. Mowry, Rich and
Clausen, and.
Whereas. . From said exnerts' renort and
other like report from Dr. Robert P. Jem-
sen of Omaha, we are thoroughly con
vinced that there has not recently been
nor is there now any case of smallpox
within pur city, and that our cltlsens and
the public health would in no sense bo'
Jeopardised by having said quarantine re
moved, therefore.
Resolved, That the report of said ox
pert physicians certifying that no small
pox exists in said families in Florence be
and the same hereby Is accepted and the
quarantine heretofore ordered oy our Board
of Health against the homes of Messrs.
Mowry, Rich and Clausen be forthwith re.
mnVAd. i t
Resolved. Farther. That our action
heretofore recently taken ordering closed

Three hundred students, headed by sev
erai of the faculty of the Nebraska School
of Agriculture, arrived In South Omaha
Friday morning from Lincoln, to pass 'a
day inspecting the Union stock yards, and
the packing houses. Ths first place visited
was the yards, where the business of tbe
morning was at its height This gave the
young men a chance to see how sales were
conducted and the working of all matters
relating to ths reception, separation and
weighing of Mock. Their chief object here
was to Inspect stock on the hoof. Several
lots of fine stock were examined, and es
pecially the hogs. These' lota were kept
separate and were killed In the plant dur
ing tbe afternoon.
The students were full of exuberant spir
its and made the pens and chutes ecbo
with more hideous yells and catcalls than
have risen in the yards since the last visit.
Mingled with all were tbe spirited uni
versity yells.
Prof. H. R. Smith, head of the agricul
tural school, was with ths students, as
were also Profs. Magdans, Perrln, Oalnes
and Burr.
From the yards the body of agriculturists
went through the exchange building and
crossed the yards to Swift Company's
plant. Extensive preparations had been
made to receive them. A corps of guides
led them through the plant, exhibiting all
the features of the killing, preparation and
curing of meats. 3. J. Ferguson of Chi
cago was present especially to meet tbe
students and give them instructions re
specting the requirements of the narkets
and the kind of hogs and other stock
which best satisfies the packers. He was
with them In ths stock yards and pointed
out the proper animals for profitable kill
ing. '
Several young women were present to
hand out dainty samples of sandwiched
ham and pickled meats at Swift's plant.
much to the delight of the boys. After go
ing through the plant they went back to
the exchange dining hall, where they were
entertained by the courtesy of. the Union
Stock Tarda company. They were treated
to a line dinner, and the management made
a brief speech, thanking the students for

BROOK IN THE HOUSE
One of the falqne Features of Louis

Home.
In the wonderful, home built for himself
by Louis C. Tiffany In the native woods
of Cold Spring Harbor an open stream of
water runs through the house. Water from
the hillside Is caught, carefully treasured
In a land basin in one of the high points
It is 'also pumped by steam and by elec
tricity from driven wells Into tanks which
hold some 40,000 gallons. Leaving the larger
cascade the water passes through a series
of Invisible pipes Into the bouse and . ap
pears In the central court to vitalize an
oriental setting. On the floor, surrounded
by an Interesting mostao of rich colors
built solidly of blocks of marble, is an
octagonal tank. In the center of this Is
a large vase of glass, long necked and
clear. It Is here that the water again ap
pears. Entering at the bottom and over
flowing at the top It flows swiftly down
tbe sides into the marble tank and thence
Into a long marble channel across the court
to a smaller cascade Just outside. Palms
and ferns stand like sentinels to point the
way. A deep banyan shade, accented by
flowers of violet and of rose color, en
riches the scene.
Two immense bowls of blown glass, about
the heigh of an ordinary table, stand one
on each side of tne marble channel. By
some hidden means the water enters at
the bottom and overflows at the top and
then flows down the side Into the cascade.
