IU1RD OF CENTURY CARMAN For TWrty-Two Years George Drew Has Eun Can. HAS GE0WN PROSPEROUS, TOO DANIEL ANNOYS DR. CONNELL City Prose-rotor la Charged by Health COBimlsalooer with Igaortng Nolaaneo. The health commissioner finds consider able fault with the city prosecutor who, he ays,- will not cause the arrest of soms per sons for maintaining nulsancea alleged to be as bad, If not worse, than the nuisances which resulted In the recent hearing before the Board of Fire and Police Commission ers. A. C.

When the report was received Dr. Con- nell expressed Indignation and and aaid it was only another case of many ot the same kind and that In his annual report he In tended to take these cases up to show the public the reason why the department was unable to enforce the laws. He said that In addition to trouble In getting complaints filed ths police judge was, In his opinion, too lenient, as an analysis of the certain esses would show. The house of which the complaint Is mad Is a frame building. Began In Primitive Days aa Drlrer of Old Horses and Is Today Btaadlaa la Front ot Motor. George Drew, a motorrnan on the West Leavenworth to Walnut Hill line, has been an employe of the street railway for thirty-two years. Thirty-two years doesn't sound so long when you "say it quick." but when you hear Mr. Drew tell of the hardships through which they went in the early days the vast difference be tween the city transportation system of 1S75 and of today la evident. When Oeorge Drew went to work for the street railway company aa driver of one of the red horse cars, Oeneral Ulysses 8. Orant was president of the United States, the big Chicago Are was still a topic of conversation, the country wss Just re covering from the panic of 187S, Nebraska was still In ths formative period, Omaha was an overgrown country town with not a paved street. "The company had seven cars when I started to work," says Mr. Drew. "Two of them were painted red and five' were green. I was 'relief on the red line, as It was called. I drove the cars while the regular drivers were at dinner. When I wasn't doing that I was busy at odd Jobs around the barn, helping take rare of the horses, repairing the csrs, greasing the wheels, or going out along the track and acooplng the water out of some of the mud holes so the horses wouldn't fall In and get drowned. Old Coming Street Darn. "The barn was st Twenty-first and Cum ing streets In those dsys. It Is still stand ing. The track that I drove over ran from Eighteenth and Lake streets down to Eighteenth and Isard, over to Sixteenth,' down to Capitol avenue over to Fifteenth, down to Farnam, along Farnam to Ninth, and down Ninth to the old depot. At each end of the line there was a turntable to turn the cars around on. "The trip took 'forty-two minutes each way. Tes, I guess a man could walk It In that time and some ot the people did walk In bsd weather because they could beat the car. i "The cars were very small and very That was the way we cleared oft the snow In those days." For a number of years Mr. Drew also took charge of ths horse supply depart ment of the transporatlon company. Car loads of wild young horses were re ceived from the west and it was his work to break them for service on the cars. When the entire system uf the city was "electrified" he sold off the horsas for the company. He drove for a number of years on what was called the "overland routo." This was a horse line which ran from Thirtieth and Bristol to Lake Btreet, down Lake to Eighteenth, to Izard, to Six teenth, to St. Mary's avenue and out that thoroughfare to Twenty-seventh street. Mr. Drew claims to be something of a "stub expert." He drove the horsecar on the Lake street stub for about live years and when the electric cars were put on all over the city he was assigned to the stub running west from Park avcuuo and Leavenworth street. There' he remalneJ for eight years before taking a run through from end to end of the line. Mr. Drew has prospered In Omaha. He and his wife, daughter and son-ln-Uw live In a comfortable home at 2C02 Wirt street. Mr. Drew owns the house, two other houses and half a block of valuablo ground. tROuF RIVER IS NAVIGABLE GIRL FLEES FROM COURT Fogltlve Miss Evades Juvenile Officer by Stepping Oat Secoud-Story i Window.

The bout sailed from Bioux City several days ago and has been coming slowly down the stream, which tumbles, slides, meanders, sidesteps and plays leap frog between Bioux City and Omuha, mak ing the distance some greater than a crow flies or a Northwestern express slides over the 100 miles of track.
