her on the account of Deuel county, from
the authorities of which he has broken
Jail several times, made an attack on Jailor
Mehlert and attempted to escape, but the
Jailor had become suspicious from the
actions of the pair for some days and had
exercised precaution.
As he was about to put the prisoners
into the cages for the night and was In
an open corridor with them Crawford
made a lunge for Mehlert's key chain and
keys and made the attack with such force
as to tear the chain and a portion of the

had a M-cellber gun drop on Crawford
' In a moment and Crawford surrendered.
After careful maneuvering he had both

NEBRASKA CITY-The Board of Educa
tion rather took the people by surprise
last evening when the secretary was in
structed to consult with Omaha architects

of $78,000. The board haa long realised that
there was not sufficient school room and
that some provision had to be made soon,
or turn away pupils. It Is proposed to dis

ing the city purchasing the water plant
and the republicans were not far be
hind. Mayor Stelnhart has Just returned
from' the east, where he made an ex
haustive study of water plants, and
gave his figures to the council last
night. The total of his report was that
the plant had never been a paying Institu
tion and that there was a floating debt of
some $18,000 and outstanding bonds to the
amount of over $300,000. His report put a
quietus on those who were so anxious to
purchase the plant.

Health Commissioner Connell yesterday
sent to the raayot and council a report
of vital statistics for 1906, with a com
munication setting forth present conditions
and needs of ths hea'th department Dr.
Connell contends his department should
have a larger appropriation that the city
of Omaha may be properly protected. The
health commissioner's report contains the
following; figures:
Total deaths during ISttS were IS9, of
which 1,192 wore white and 47 colored; 704
males and 686 females: 47B married, 004 sin
gle and 167 widowed. Nineteen nationalities
were represented in the deaths. August
wss the high month, with 1M deaths, and
May low, with (L Of 308 deaths from com
municable diseases W died of tuberculosis.
Classified by ages the report shows t
deaths of persons under 6 years Of age,
104 deaths between 70 and 80, 41 deaths
between SO and W and 11 deaths between
80 end 100.
During 190$ there were S.1A6 births in
Omaha. Out of that total LOGO were males,
l.Oiio females and 116 still births. Of the
births 47 were colored. The births and
deaths of colored persons were exactly the
same during 190$.
Deaths from violent causes were as fol
lows: Ptomaine poisoning. 4; railway ac
cidents, 9; gunshots, 6; knife wound, 1;
fractured skull, 1; throat cut, 1; strychnine

automobile accident, 1; killed by horse, 1;
burns, 1; general accidents, 26; suicide, 16;
heat prostrations, 1; drowned, ; street car,
2; opium, 2.
Waats Mora Mosey,
Dr. Connell's communication states:
I deelre to call your attention to the In
adequate appropriation made for running
the health department. It la utterly Im
possible to maintain anything of a sanitary
condition in the city with the amount of
money appropriated. To show how ridicu
lously small the appropriation that has been
given this department la, compared with
even thirteen years ago, for instance, in
IRifl there waa expended for aanitary in
spection alone $4,iM). The total expended
for sanitary inspection In 1906 was less than
$1,200. So the city spent In 1906 for main
taining the aanitary condition over $6,700
leas than it did thirteen years ago, when
the city was nowhere near the site it
now is.
It Is absolutely necessary that you In
vestigate the needs of the health office and
see that there Is a proper appropriation
made for It the coming year. If-1 attempt
to bring the city ud to anvthlna- like a
sanitary condition the funds allotted to me
ror tne year 1W7 will be exhausted by Sep
tember. The total amount appropriated for the
neaun aepanment ror laos waa $9,000, with
$376 added from miscellaneous sources in
the shape of bakers' license mnnev and
money received for disinfecting, etc The
iuuhi amount expenaea in 19US was $9,372.87,
which I aive In an Itemised atatmn l.
where In my report, leaving a balance of
$2.13 in the health department.
The total amount appropriated n the
emergency nospitai lund for 19 was $2,500.
The amount exDended wri iimjii hih
In an Itemised statement, is riven elsewhere
In ,my report. This waa an overlapse of
ma. iuu nave appropriated $2,000 to run
this department this vear. What h
pense will be only time can tell, but there
w ub no curuuiment or expense necessary
to maintain the Emergency hospital or
peethouse, oven If it should run far beyond
the amount appropriated for Its mainte
nance. Under a senarata section T inhnii -

milk being sold In the city which was not
more or less adulterated. I am glad to bs
able to report there has been a wonderful
lmJvr.m?nt " ,r M th Alteration if
the milk Is concerned, but there is still a
great lack of sanitary condition In the

count of the lack of tie p to make Insoec
Uoos and obllse the dafrym.o correct
the many avfls existing In the dairies,
cows, and the handling of the milk.
I have asked your honorable body on two
different occasions to appoint a veterinar
ian to Inspect these, dairies and correct
the evils whloh are now existing. Until
this Is done It will be Impossible for the
health department to bring about the re
forms that are absolutely necessary. If
you would Uke my suggestions and rear
range the Inspection now existing and ap
point a veterinarian as a dairy inspector,
which would necessitate only an expendi
ture of $1,600 more than Is now being spent,
some of which Is being virtually thrown
away, I could accomplish more In three
months for the good of the city than Is
now being accomplished during the whole
year. This does not Include some extra
sanitary Inspectors which I will put on aa
soon aa spring opens and give the city a
thorough cleaning;.
I am not able to give as good an Itemised
account of the work done by the milk in
spector aa I would like, owing to the way
the records have been kept In this depart
ment In the past. I have Inaugurated a
c system for keeping these records in
the future and in my next report will be
able to give a complete record of the work
done In the milk department.
Weed Ralissee.
The weed nuisance la under the health
department and Is very Important In many
ways; they are not only detrimental to
health, but an eye-sore to the Inhabitants,
and show a dilapidated condition of the
town and often are the means of keeping
outside capital from Investing In the city.
Four years previous to 19u the city spent
$2.o0 each year in cutting weeds. In lVKi,
with an expenditure of only $490 by the
city, there were more weeds cut in the
city of Omsha than there had been In the
last five preceding years combined. The
citlsens, as a whole, are enthusiastic over
having this nuisance removed and some ar
rangements must be made -very soon by
your honorable body to abate this nuisance
the coming summer.
I would suggest that you make a news
paper publication a legal notice, instead
of having to serve individual notices, as
this would make a legal notice on owners
of property who live out of town to have
the nuisance abated, aa wall as those resid
ing In the city. If there Is a fund set
aside known as, the weed fund, then all
weeds that were not cut by the time speci
fied, the city could cut and pay the expense
out of the weed fund and tax It up to the
property; as those taxes were paid they
could be put Into the weed -fund and It
would therefore not be necessary to make
an appropriation for this fund more than
once.
