quarantine, with more than one pa
tient In a few instances. In the city
emergency hospitals there are seventy-four
scarlet fever patients.
The doctor has yielded to various
requests that publicity be given to
the scarlet fever situation
"I do not see wherein the city will
be benefited by giving the number
of cases reported each day unless the
names and addresses are made
known. I am willing to give the lat
ter Information every day," said Dr.
Crnnell.

Mo Need of Apprehension.
Considering the population of Greater
Omaha, Dr. Connell does not regard tha
I scarlet fever situation here as serloua
enough to cause any apprehension. Ha
reiterates his contention that there are
various other Nebraska cities with more
cases in proportion to population. He
'notes that many of the victims ara

WELSH CAN SEE NO
DANGER M FLOODS
Heavy Blanket of Snow and the
Thick Ice Offer No Cause
for Alarm.
ALL DEPENDS ON THE THAW
Thousands of farmers whose fertile
acres lie In the rich "bottom" lands
of Nebraska and Iowa are beginning
tc cast apprehensive eyes upon the
th'ckening snow blanket over the
country and tho thick ice in the
rivers, and scores of them have writ
ten to the local weather bureau to
ask tbe united question: .
"What Is the outlook for floods this
spring." '
"I can't answer the question, " says
Colonel Welsh. "The mere fact that we
now have, a good bit of anow and that
the ice is nineteen inches thick on the
river at Omaha and twenty-two Inches
at Sioux City does not indicate floods.
"If spring will just come on In an cv
derly and decent and sane manner, the
old Missouri , will carry away all lne
superfluous .water.
'Detead on Thaw.
-The main cause of floods Is a thaw In
upper rivers while " the lpwer channels
still remain choked with ice. In that
case the great volume of water coming
down from, the north is obstructed rhy
this frosen barrier and flows out upon
the land. . . --
"While our flood stage here at Omaha
la nineteen feet, there Is a good deal
of 'bottom" farm land that a sixteen
foot stage would put under water.
"Generally speaking the danger from
floods in tnla part of the country nts
vanished. Thta Is due principally V the
cultivation of the land. In ita preaent
state It: abaorba most of the molstuTe.
Thia used to flow off of the hard, vir
gin prairie and Into the atreams. Much
water la taken from the atreama for the
use of man and beast and In the aggre
gate thla subtracts a considerable volume
from the water.
"Since issi when, on April 24, the water
rose to a stage of 23 8 foot st Omaha end
you could take a boat and row from Eigh
teenth and Nicholas to the middle of
Council Bluffs, we have had no serious
floods.
"And we are not at all likely to have
any."
Real Estate Agents

the cltv ordinance relative to cleaning

coat of such work by the city. The fol

Trimming by Jeff
Highway Directors
Omaha la definitely to be omitted from
the route of the Jefferson Highway,
which is tho proposed road from Winni
peg to New Orleans.
HandaJl K. Rrown, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the Commercial
club, and E. V. Tarrlsh, manager of the
bureau of publicity as vice president and
member of the board of directors, re
spectively, of the Jefferson IHghwey ss
sociatlon. were beaten at every turn, by
fair means and foul, which meeting was
called to hear contests and new clntms
for recognition on the highway.
"They deliberately vlolntrd their own
constitution and by lsws," says Mr. Tsr
rlsh, "in that they refused to appoint a
nuetral committee of englnecra to con
sider Omaha's claims, even when we of
fered to pay the expense of the commit
tee's investigation.
"President Meredlih reprimanded the
delegates from the chslr. openly sccuslng
them of violating their sgreement msde
at New Orleans some months ago in this
respect, but they went ahead with It.
'They admit that the route aa at pres
ent laid out haa some 600 or 00 miles of
dead mileage In It tho way It meanders

"Patience has ceased to be a virtue.
The city started thla matter six years ao

the part of the Missouri Pacific will be
with poor grace," remarked a member ot
the Dundee ctuh.

Aa for the possibility of the railroad
company deciding to elevate tracks from
a point near Cuming street to a point
near Leavenworth street, one of the city
commissioners In touch with the situation
declares this would cost upwsrd of $7;O0O0,
and he does not bellevo the company will
go Into thla expense at this time.
Tha city engineering department feels
confident the viaduct will he built. It la
