E. M. Fairfield, general manager of the

arranged to have Dr. Leal of Jersey City,

"We have arranged to have Dr. I.nl

health department In making almllar de

"Although convinced that the typhoid In
Omaha Is due to other caum-a than the
city water, I realize the necessity of al
laying any suspicion In the mlnda of water
users by reducing the bacterial unit to the
lowest possible flgrtre. If all bacteria are
removed, there ahoutd be nothing left to
Worry about. ,
No Typhoid North of Florence.
It will be of Interest to Bee readera to
know that a thorough search of the coun
try north of Florence reveals no typhoid.
This Investigation, made last month, ax-
tenda ten or twelve mllra up the river on (
both sides and along streams tributary to
the Missouri and hO bases of typhoid waa
found. Four or five cases were reported
In or near Florence during the winter, but
as none of the patients was III more than
a very few days, In two cases not even a
doctor being called, the conclusions Is In
evitable that It could not have been ty
phoid. "As to tha conditions along the East
Omaha coast as depicted In an evening
paper, I have only to say that for years
the city has been fouling Its own nest by
permitting, that dumping ground to exist,
;For years the Water company haa pro
tested, but without avail. The excuse haa
always been the same as the present one,
that before high water comes the worst
has been removed. Even If contamination
from this source has been hitherto escaped,
' we cannot expect the miracle to repeat
Itself Indefinitely."

Mrs. L. O. Svvopc
Gives Deposition
Mother of Sirs. Hyde Tells of Colonel
Swope'i Eccentricities Still Be
lierei in "Yarb" Man.
KANSAS CITY, March 3. After weeks
of delay, occasioned by squabbles between
attorneys and her presence tefore the
grand jury, Mrs. Logan O. Kvope, the
guiding hand In the Investigation of the
Swope mystery, today gave her deposition
in Ir. B. C. Hyde'e slander suit against
John O. Paxton, an executor for the
Thomas H. Swope estate.
There was little sensational testimony In
Mrs. Swope's story. In fact It was hardly
a Interesting a deposition as had been
expected, considering the hard fight that
Dr. Hyde's attorneys have mado for It.
With twinkling eyes and many smiles for
her son-in-law's attorneys Mrs. Swope told
of the eccentricities of Colonel Swope, and
then, with all seriousness expressed her
confidence In Chasses Hatred Chase Jor
dan, the swarthy "yarb" man who in eight
years hoe received between $10,000 and 830,
000 for "doctoring" the Bwopes.
While Mrs. Swope waa telling her story
a deputy sheriff In Wyandotte county,
Kansas, was searching for the herb spe
cialist, for whom he had a warrant charg
ing Jordan with practicing medicine with
out a license.
The warrant waa secured by James Meek,
assistant prosecuting attorney of Wyan
dotte county, after the State Board of Med
ical Registration and Examination had
made complaint against Jordan. Jordan
was found at hla home' 1J1, and as a result
the warrant was not served today.
A. C. Smith, a drug salesman, also test!
fled In Dr. Hyde's suit today. He told of
soiling pills to Jordan that contained berfla
donna and acetanallde.
But regardless of all Jordan's troubles
Mrs. Swope believes In him. She is still
"doctoring" with him. Thus she testified
today. She also testified that Mrs. B. C.
Hyde, who precipitated the Investigation of
the "doctor," also had confidence in him
at one time.
"Francis Hyde," said Mrs. Swope, In
speaking of her daughter, "was Just as
well pleased as any of us when Jordan
cured me."
Colonel Swope, according to Mrs. Swope,
was extremely eccentric. Constantly fear
ing death, he had talked of his demlBe for
years before the end came. For twenty
five years he drank, becoming "tipsy," as
she expressed it, during the latter part of
each afternoon. He suffered greatly from
stomach trouble, until a short time before
his death, when he appeared to improve.

Something of a thrill was caused In the

case for the heirs.
The questions asked the county attorney
bore on his relations with the Catholic
church as an attorney.
"You have performed various legal ser
vices for Bishop Scanned?" was one ques
tion. Mr. English answered that he had, and
In reply to another question stated that he
had drawn up Incorporation papers for a
number of parishes of the Omaha diocese.
"You are generally considered the at
torney for Bishop ScannellT"
"I am not under retainer as such," was
tha answer.
Other questions asked bore upon Eng

Connor waa to share equally with several
blood relatives.
Father MeCaTcra Star Wltneaa.
The proponents' trump card In the suit
was played in the testimony of Rev. P. A.
McGovern, pastor of St. Peter's church.
Father McOovern told the Jury that a few
days before Mr. Connor's death he had
been called to the house by Mrs. Ellen
O'Connor, sister of Joseph A.. Connor, and
asked to interrogate Mr. Connor about hla
temporal affairs.
Father McGovern testified that he did so
and that Mr. Connor answered, "It's all
over there in the desk," meaning his will.
By this testimony, with that of P.ev. J. C.
Buckley to the same effect, though at a
much earlier date, the proponents hope to
convince the Jury that Mr. Connor himself
did not destroy the absent will.
The position of the proponents is this;
Assume that the will was in existence when
Mr. Connor died and it is therefore in
effect. Its terms are learned from the
copy offered In evidence.
The proponents are under the necessity
of breaking down the presumption that the
will not having been discovered after Mr.
Connor's death, it was destroyed by him.
On this point bears the evidence of the re
spondents that Mr. Connor up to the last
minute expected to recover, to resume
active business-and perchance to draw up a
new will.
Father McOovern was cross-questioned
at length by Judge J. J. Sullivan, who
sought to show that the priest broke Mr.
Connor's confidence in telling immediate
members of the househoM what Mr.' Con
nor had said to him. Other questions were
put by which it was sought to Indicate to
the Jury that as the parish priest of St
Peter's, the witness had an interest in the
provision of the will which left an endow
ment for parochial schools. .

IS COVERT A TAXPAYER?
Qaestloa Arises aa to Right of Steel
Worker tm EaJerla Operations
of Coart House.
Doubt has arisen whether Percy F.
Covert, plaintiff in the injunction suit
against Caldwell & Drake, Is a taxpayer,
as Covert asserts in his petition he is. The
records in ths office of the county asaeasor
fall to ahow that Mr. Covert haa within
the last two years made any return on
either real or personal property.
John O. Yeiaer, Covert's counsel, "thinks"
Mr. Covert has paid personal taxes, but Is
not aura about the matter.
"If he la not," said Yelser, "we shall sub
stitute someone else who is." .
The suit to enjoin the court house con
tractors is not regarded very aeriously by
the representatives of the firm. One thing
la certain, there will be no Immediate hear
ing upon the matter. A restraining order
is not prayed for and the caae is on ths
regular equity call, where It will not come
up for some weeks. Covert, the plaintiff,
is president of tt local of ths Steel Work
era' union, a fact which hla rounsai de
clined to disclose at ths time of filing suit.
Omaha is the second corn market In the
world,, according to the government report,
which Is Just out for the year 1909. At the
close of 1908 Omaha was in fourth place,
but during the year passed St. Louis,
Peoria and Indianapolis. This record was
made despite the faot that there was a
great falllng-off during November and
December, due to the rains of November
and the extreme cold of December, which
made It almost impossible for the farmers
to get their grain to market.
Omaha held its own as sixth in the list
of wheat markets and In oats received is
fourth, the same as last year.
The monthly report of the Omaha Grain
exchange shows an Increase of 4t,0Ot
bushels for February over tha correspond
ing month last year. The wheat receipts
for last month were 736,600 bushels; corn
receipts, 2.907,600 bushels; oats, 1,10,600
bushels; rye, 82,000 bushels; barley, 60,000
bushels; a total of 4,968,700.
