Al Wcltzol. city plumbing inspector, anil
Captain w. Bohan of number Six hose
company, now confined at the city pest
hoilse with smallpox, declare they aro re
cetving the best of care, have clean
rooms, and owing to the fine weather,
have found their forced sojourn at the
Place not at all unpleasant
"They had mo scared to death before
I came out here," said Weltiel. "1
thought the place would be a regular
death-trap,, Imagine my surprise whon
they put mo in a clean, cool, well-ventilated
room) fed me good food and gave
mo the beBt of care possible."
Weltzel said there undoubtedly Is need
of repairs at tho place the building ought
to be painted, tho plumbing repaired and
the entire building overhauled, as ex
tremo weather would destroy all the
"pleasantness" of tho place.
Captain Bohan said ho had also re
ceived tho best of treatment and while
ho didn't consider the building a fire
proof place nor exactly a fire-trap, he
saw whero Improvements were needed.
Ho believed tho wholo building ought to
be overhauled and repaired.
"The men In chargo of the pest house
are thoroughly capable," said Police
Commissioner Ryder. "They never lose
a case. In warm weather It is not a
bad place. It Is airy, there is plenty of
space for the Inmates to exercise during
their convalescence, but In cold weather
everything Is changed. Tho water plpeB
freezo and fresh water must be hauled
to the place, the furnace bucks and goes
out of commission, tho plumbing Is bad."
A secret session of the commission was
hold to discuss tho situation at the pest
house. It was the opinion that there,
ought to bo some repairs, but none could
suggest from what source to secure tho
money. An Investigation will be mado
and a, special meeting of the council held
at 9 o'clock Monday morning to reach
some decision on what can be dono.
Nebraska Crops
in Fine Condition
Secert Service Agent Canada of the
Union Pacific is back from an extended
trip through Nebraska and says that
during his forty years' residence In the
state nover knew spring crop prospects
to be as good as now.
Generally out In the state there has
been considerable rain and snow during
the last thirty days, which has put the
ground "in perfect condition for the
growth of the winter wheat as soon ae
the weather warms up. Farmers are all
enthusiastic and on account of the high
prices received for all of their products
last year are preparing to plant jvcry
acre that can be made available. Live
stock never wintered better and caltlo
have come through tho winter without
having been fed any grain and but little
hay.

Whereas, The time has come when men
with tho Interests of tho common people

realizing that the attempt at removing
the effect Is an endless chain that never
brings about permanently that state heio
out to mankind In the Declaration of
Independence wherein It says. "We hold
these truths to be self-evident that all
men are created equal, that they are en
dowed by their Creator with certain In
alienable rights, that among these aro
life, liberty and tho pursuit of happi
ness." and,
Whereas. There Js pending In the Ne
braska legislature a bill which goes down
to the root of the social evil of large
communities, and which will prove a step
In the cause of clean morals and clean
living, and, "
Whereas, Every laborer Is worthy of his
hire, and, ,
Whereas, If the state has a right to
regulate tho effect of certain conditions
relating to the common good, It also has
the right to removo the cause, therefore
be It
ltesolved, That we, the Second ward
branch of the Omaha Socialist party,
knowing that the present condition of
labor is deporable. and believing the
minimum wago bill will be a step In the
light direction, especially as applied to
women, therefore bo It further
Unsolved, That wo, the said Second
Ward branch of the Omaha Socialist
party, hereby heartily recommend tho
passage of said minimum wage bill by
tho present lawmakers In the state
legislature.
