The Blll Now Before the Nebraska Law Makers, Owmana, January 23, 1883, 10 the Eaitor of Tus Bxx. A bill now pending before the state legislature, introducod by Mr, Ses- sione, and read for the vecond iimo on January 10, 1883, having for ita ot joct the establishment of a state boara of health for cortain sauitary objects and for the regulation of the practice «f mediclne, has attracled my attention, Of ita savitary measnres I have no h- ing to say, bat ils medical regulaticn saw when he first stepped out upon the pla form. The engineer, fireman and brakemen has preceded the con- ductor and were safely lodged awa;, The origlnal plan was to ditch the traiu and the switch had been left open for that purpose, but the engin eer eaw the danger in timeand stopped his train. When he got cff to see what the danger was he was captured and with the other membecs of the crew imprisoned. The express car was ‘‘cut out” by the bandits, who then began the attack by smashing in the panes on both sides of the car, and shooting through it in all directions, being stubbornly resisted by the Wells, Fargo messenger, Mr. Ross. R s was struck by two shots, one bitting him in the hand and the other in the bip, but neither hort him badly. Ross roturned the fire, being guided by the sounds outalde, He fired through the roof at the robbers who had climbed on top, and fired slx or seven shots through the end of the car as the robbers were uncoupling, The prieoners in the tank houso heard the robbers say that one of their gang had been wounded in the leg Rots dragged the iron sifs to one eide of the car, put the wooden chest on tho other side, and lay down on lis cork mattress between them. Ho was armed with a six shooter and a double barrelod shotgun, and blazed away on all sides. Theu the robbers throat- encd to burn him out, but he refused to surrender. They went af'er wood to burn him out, but found only o handful on the engine, and then several of the fellows started ont to get more, but did not find it. Ross kept them at bay until the west bound passenger train came up, but the robbers ordered the con- duotor to move on, and he moved with his train, It was expeoted that he would re- turn sfier running a short distance and drive off the robbers, but he did not. The robbers returned to the attack on Roas, buc he held out until another traln oame along in sbout three-quarters of an hour and the rob- bers lett, The passengers gave Ross a testimo- ulal when they reached Ogden, SLAVEN'S YOSEMITE COLOGNE Made frorr the wild flowers of the rAR FAMED YOSEMITE VALLEN It is the most fragrant ot perfume, Manufactured by H, B, Slaven, San Franclsco, Forsale in Omaha by W.

Just at present the topio of the hour is how to get out of & burning building, and fire escapes are being largely dlssussed and introduced, Newhall was well provided with fire oscapes, The troublo with the whole system cf escapes ls: The strangers know nothing about them, and in the confusion and din and smoke of & great fire nobody knows where they are or how to use th Common sense suggests that slova- tors be abolished or so built as not to be fire conduotors, It is notlceable in all the late great fires that the eleva- tors have played a conspicuous part in spreading the flames and smoke and cuttiog off the escape of the viotims. If the elevator in the Nowhall house had been properly bailt all the people could have beeu saved; for in the first place no such fire coula have happened. The shaft of that elevator conducted smoke and sparks and flame to the top story just as fast a8 they could rise, and cut off all es- cape by way of the acoustomed route Hence the bewilderment of all those featuro is somethirg that should ce- capy the attention of all medical men, This act proposes to establish a board of five medical men, to be gradoates of reputablemedical colleges (s somewhat vegae tern ), to be appointed by the governor of the state, Three meom- bers of this board shall constitute a quorum, and they are given power by this act, not only to demand a diplo- ma from the practitioner, but, if a majority of the board think fit, an examination ax well, and according to section 13 of this xct they can ‘‘annul any cerufirate upoa proof that the holder has been guilty of immoral or unprc fassional conduot” —vague terms these, of which that same majority are to bo alone the judges. Now this act seems to me very arbitrary. In the ficat place, thei governor of the state is not a competent judge «f med- cal men enough to appoint such a board. Iseeems tobe a kind of royal commisslon given to whom the govern- or thioks most needs the place, and if he iv a republicanora democrator anti- monop, he will be apt to make it a po litical 10stead of a medical board, We do not need legislatton for indiyiduals, we need it more for those money-mak- ing eorporations, the medical colieges, who, all of them, arelegally chartered to grant dipiomas. If legislation s to domand from tho practitloner an cx. amination it ought to demand a much more etringent ono from all teachera in medical echools, Lostead of that the law regarding the chartering of medical colleges is 80 lax {hat any two or three men with means enough can get a charter In ten days timo—educa- tion or not--and grind out as many students as they please and all legally, What we need in thess days more than anything else in a legislative way is to deprive every mediosl college in the United States of its licercing power and throw it upon our state universities or upon a board elected by the American Medical association, the only comoetent body fit to elect a board suffiolently lb{a and unblased for all regular practitioners in the United States. Lot medical schools teach and an unbiased board examine, and qnacks will soon become extinct in the United St PHRSONAL. F. E. McClary,Geo, R. Peck and W.

Elevators can be bullt so as to be the very best of fire escapes, and at the same time aot as aids in suppres- #ing the flames; and next to the eleva- tor, the stairway is the best fire escape if built properly, Let there be an ordinance passed compelling all hotels, theaters, public halls and school buildings using elo. vators to build fire proof shafts—1. e., sh.fts from ground to roof built of brick or boiler iron, and shut oft by Iron doors from each story, with the elevator platform running ““tight fie” 80 a8 to keep out the smoke from above and below, running on firon goers, Such an elovator would go up and down through fire and emoke and empty story by story, if the fire originated below or above; and it wiil ba seen the elevator has an outer open- ing on @ street, Any sensible archi tect could noon dovise euch a lifa pro- tecting seneible clovator, The next best, and adjunct, is to aboliek by ordinance open balu-tered stairways in public buildings. They are good fire condvctors, Bulld box stairways with iron cut-offs at each landing, 80 as to confine smoke and fire to the stery where It originates. Gao, C. Newman, of Lincoln, is at the Paxton.

Which Will be Argued in Omaha This Week, Ia its railroad column, The Kansas City Journal saye: “The Headlight has a fow remarke to make on the cace of the Donver & New Orleans railroad agaivst the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which will be argaed tiia week at Omaha, I is & very interesting caee to railway men, a8 it 1nvolvee the right of a road to make exclusive connection with another roadl. The Santa Fo had on agreement with the Denver & Rio Giraude to prorate on freight and passengers at Pueblo, but rcfused to do the esame thing with the )\ Orleans when it Fuilt into Puaeblo, With the Santa Fs hostile, and the Rio Grande an open, ener- gotic ana bitter enemy the New Or- leans had practicaly no ontlet, and had %o covfine itself tc transacilng a strictly Jocal businesy betweon Pusblo and. Denver, a distance of a little over oue hundred miles. This of course necisilated desperate action as the road was ahut out from its share of through traflis and by its position, was rendered powerlees to rtrike back ex cept in & petty and unconseqnental way. It reduced rates from Danver to Paeblo from eomething like §7 to 81, and ran fast trains which enabled it to make some money on huge Sun- day excursions, but its rival, the Rio Grande, did the same thing and reap- ed a8 much of w harvest, Then came the legal plea. The New Orleans aeked the United States ccurt to compel the Santa Fe to prorate and connect, upon the ground «f public good, The New O:leans’ argument that it is against public volicy to allow a corporation to run a non.competirg live by excluding it from rights and frivileces accorded a rival line in which the Santa Fe is not financially intereatcd is by many legal lights con- sidered very good. If there is such a principle laid down it will be given new intercs’ by the decieion in this case, although, even if tho plaintiff is euccessfu!, he will be in bad shapa The hewdlight balieves tho Sinta Fe could ancoy the road and render its A Carpenter's Opinion of Needs of the Trade, Mr. Elitor: A very importaut and practical quostion at this time con- cerns quite & number of the Omaha carpenters as to the outlook for bual- ness for the coming season, Eome are arking their friends if they think it possible that a carpenter can live in Omaha another year. Sume express doubts and s>me declars their inten- tion of leaving town eoon as possible, Now then to an onteider this may seem strange talk in a city large as Omaha, where so grest improvements have been going on for the last five years, and may continue to go on for years to come. Well it is strarge from one standpolnt, tut not strange from another when the facts are known asto the real causes. Suppose the average building boom in Omaha con- tinues to go on for yoara to come un der tho present modus operandt, every Ouwaha carponter with six months of Omaha experience at the trade is well convinced that the longer he stays in Omaha as a carpenter the worse cff he wets to be. And whysc! Now that's the question to b solved by the aver- #g> Umaha carpenter whois compalled, as it were this winter, to divide one meal into three in orderto go through the motion of eating three meals a day. Now we want to ask cf all con- cerned in the business, as it relates to our pecunlary interest and welfare, would it not be wise, would it not be good sense in us to fraternize as me- chanics and take this matter into con- sideration in order to reach or mature some system whereby the trade can bo made more remuuerative and re- spectable to its possessor? For our own special benefit we have gone over the ground and taken in the eituation from cause to effact as weo understand it, but do not feel dis- pose to give out our ideas or opinions at this time, any more than io say we d> not think the matter so eerious but that a remedy can be found that will adjust every d fliculty, It is certainly not assuming too wuch to say that if wo have the will a8 a class of mechanics we have the ability to formulate a system that will work us & banefit as other mechanical departments have done in Omaha, and what the carpenters have done in all the principal citics east of the Mis- souri river. Now, Mr, Editor, by your permis- sion we invite interchavze of optuion throogh the columns of Tue Beg with referecce to the propriety of making the carpenter trade more respec! and moro remunerative as a business in the city of Omaha and viciuity, Who will be the nex!?

FAILURES AND FIRES. Willis M, Yates Makes an A- sigument. A Haetiogs Hardware Man Suspends Bueiness, A Fire and a Failure Acrossthe River. During the past few weeks numer- ous rumors have been afloat as to the probability of Mr. Willis M. Yatee, the well known Dodge street, grocer, suspending butiness, They were call- ed out by the numeroas failures which have been recorded in this city this winter and were incressed ia numb:y yestercay and the reports confirmed by the filing in the county clerk’s cffice of an sssignment in dae firm by Wil. lis M. Yates, to Mr. A, C. Troup. Abcut ten days ago Mr. Yatcs stated that on October 28°h, 1882, his stock invoiced §4,000. It hus einco been raduced some, but is worth aboot § 000 to §3,300. His hock accounts amount o §3 200, and his store fix-|, tures, safe, two horses and wagon, which ccs: §2,000, are worth §1,000 ab least He was owing, all told, §7, 000, “‘Could I collect oy book ac counts, or could T sell my etock at in voics pricea T could pay all T owe out- side of what I owe H. W, Yates, who will allow me to use it in another bus i I have advertised to eell my nose, and will do 8o as soon as 1 ean find the man who will pay me a reasopable price, and thus furnish me with fands to pay my merchandire debis, Sold sll my real estate a year or more ago.” Well informod parties said they b» lisved that Mr, Yates was houest bu was iac ined to place his valuation too high. His stock was eatimated not worth over $25/0 by competert judees and his book accounts, good, could not be contidered worth over $2000. His fixtures wera also esti- mated at about §70) or §8(0 Cou'd he have sold out at a good price he would be able, doubtless, to pay up, but he was considered as hardly eol- vent at a safe valuation, Mr. Yates was anxious to troat all his creditors alike, be said, and there- fore did not like to give anyone special securliy, being desirous of going on with his bueincsy if possible On the Tenth of January, Lomever, he gave the Nebraska Natiimal bank a chattel mortgage to sccure the pay ment of two notes dated in October and dve in 90 drys, The nmo of these no‘es is §900 and the accurity covera tho stock and fixtures of the store, horaes, ete. It s stated on good anthorily that the stock will not fizure vp over $2,000 v valug, and that the buck ac counts, which ate good, will not ex- ceed $1,000, whilo the indebtednete of the honsa will, it is ssid, ¢xveed £8,00. The hoaviest lecal creditors are the firms of Steele, Johnson & Co., whase claim is $1 000, and Mil- lard & Peck, about £500, while Meyer & Raapke, Peycke Bros., and Metcalf & Bro., all lose small sums, lers than $100 each, and Maroney nver $100. Five eastern creditors have claime in the hauds of an attorney here ag- gregating €800, Mr, H. W Yates’ clrim i3 put at between $3 000 and $4 000, and the balance are all mer- chaudiee claime, FAILURE AT HASTINGS, The Bradstreet agency, from whom the above particulars are «btained, in- form us of the failure of . A Benja. min, the hardware merchant at Hoe- tings, who has nold out his n*cck for the benefit of Lis creditors. Ho owed about 5,000 borrowed money, and €8,000 cr €9000 in all. His only assets are his book eccounts, aumming up about $§2,000, which have been turned over to bo collected and ap- plied on his accounts.
