THE NEWS ABOUT THE BLUFFS An Official States That the City Water is All Right. THE DANGERS OF SEWER GAS., Everybody and His Relations as Found in the New Directory— Burglars at Work Again —Personals. Sewer Gas and City Water. The water question continues to agitate the public mind, and several communications re garding it have been received at this office. The majority of them are of an inquiring tone, one inquirer voicing the sentiments of many in his anxiety t know “if tnere is really anything in it.”” Another of the com- munications is herewith given: To the Editor of Tug Bre: An editor Is supposed to know a little more than anybody else who don't know anything about it. So, Mr. Editor, will you please tell me about sewer gas! What is there more fatal about it than the was that cscapes from an ordinary water closet 1 your garden{ Will a trap prevent the gas invaaiog your dwelling? [s there any danger from gas where water only from vour kitchen sink is carried through a trapped pit to a deep vaulti Is there a professional sanitary engineer in this city or in Omaha who knows one kind of gas from another? Who can prevent unteaithy smells from invading our dwellings? Is there a chemist here who can analyze water, and ascertain its impurities, and lot the people of Council Bluffs know what kind of water they are drinking, and how it dif- fers from what was furnished by the water compuny six months ago! If the water company do not afford us pure water, and cannot afford to do it, and deny that its water is impure, let the city council at once apvoivt a committee of scien- tific men to exaniive the methods now in use to supply us with water, as well as the char- acter of the water so supphied. No time is to be lost in the matter. Six mouths ago'we had the best water of any city in the world and there 18 uo good reason why we shoald not have it now. In conclusion let me say, wo should either have pure whisky or pure waer, TRMPERANCE. The writer of the above is ovidently one of the many citizens who have been consid- erably itated during the past few weeks by the report that the waterworks company was not furnishing as pure water as might be expected, oad that the company was rather indifferent as to the condition of the sottling busin at the foot of Broadway. Nnumerous inquiries similar to the above have been made of late, and the result of careful investigation is herewith given. ‘Lhe subject of sewer gas is one concerning which much has been written, still its insidi- ous properties are seemingly but little under- stood. The general public understands that it smelis disagreeable and is unhealthy, tend- ing to disease and epidemics. There is also a prevailing idea among property owners that traps should be provided in uil sewer pives to prevent the gas backing up from the sewers to the houses with which they are connected. However, this matter is very generally left to the plumbers, and with them rests a large degree of respousibility. ‘With this very scant knowledg2 on the sub- ject, the public evinces a disposition to be perfectly sutisfied, and in the majority of cases no further investigation 1s made until outbreuk of typhoid fever or kindred dis- eases calls attentio to the fact that something is wrong, when the “malarial atmosphere” s finally de upon us the source of tho trouble, and o the matter is drovped. Sewer gas is con- stantly given off from the thousand and one foul matters and impurities that find their way into that public drain, the city sewer. As'n was it is explosive, clearly showing this property when allowed no chance of escape, and compelled to back up to the higher por- tions of the sewer. Under these circum- stances it is forced back through the water in the sewer traps, which, at such times, are obviously inadequate to the tusk allotted them. In view of this, there are hundreds of sanitary engineers who maintuin that a sew- er trap alone is not sufficient protection against the encroachments of sewer gas. They advise the placing of a vertical pipe, running above the roof ot the building, which will convey the gas from the sewer beyond the raach of the resident, the sewer trap pre- venting the escupe into the rooms. By menns of this escape pipe the danger of explosion is obviated, and all possibility of the gas backing into the house is done away ysician was asked concerning the pe- y fatul properties of this gas, and his opinion was expressed as follows: “The disease most commonly produced by sewer gas is typhoid fever, and this disease is spread more widely by this means than by any other. For this reason the sewers should be especially guarded against during an epi- lemic. The typhoid germ is very minute, and is carried into the sewer by the water. 1t 18 50 small that our best authorities assert that it rises with the sewer gas, and thus spreads the diseasc most alarmingly. Aside from this, I don’t know us sewer gas is par- ticularly futal, that is, any more 8o than any other. Cases of asphyxiution by it are re- ported oceasionally, but they are not com- mon.” There are several professional sanitary en- gineers in this city and Omaba, who give these matters particular attention. First class analytical chewists are not numerous in this part of thewcountry. A. Martin Mul- ler A. A, professor of chemistry at the Omaha medical college, is recommended by the medical profession as a skilled analyst. In discussing the question of impure water, the physician above quoted remarked: *I don’t sée how it can be that our city water is 80 very impure or unfiv for use. There 18 very little sickness in the city, in fact, I have never found it so eenerally healthy during my residence of seven years in the Bluffs. It can not be thut there is anything so very serious just at present, though there may be some few impurities in the water. You must know that it does not take very long for anything of this kind to show itself in the city. There may be a little truth in the re- port, but I think that good, Hve]g imagina- tion has helped it along cousiderably. If quite a number unito in telling & man that he 18 sick, he begins to believe it, and my belie 18 that the same is true in this case,” el Notice to Fox Club.

The burglars have again commenced oper- ations after a vacation of few weeks, and start out this time with two jobs to their credit within twenty-four hours. Thursday afteraoon they visited the residence of A. J. Stoddard, 615 Seventh avenue, and secured considerable booty. There was no one at home except a servant named Lillio Part- ridge. She was upstairs, arranging her toilet. She heard a noise, and on looking down the stairway saw a strangor olimbing into the window. She was so frightened she did not utter a sound. The stranger carried away some_jewolry and the conents of a ohild's bank, besides several valuable orna- ments, Immediately after his departure tho girl raised the alarm. A search was mado for the party but he kad made his esoape. The preceding nigat they visited the house of F. Ogden, on Fairview avenue. It is sun- posed that entranco was affected through one of thobasement windows. All the family were at home, but strange to say tho marauders failed to awaken them, and the first intimation the people had that the house was burglarized was yesterday morning, when they awoke and found that everything had been turned upside down in all of the rooms but one. A atch, revolver and dirk areamong the missing articles. The thieves also took a lot of men’s clothing out into the hall where the electric light would shine on them, and picked out what suited their fas- tidious tastes, leaving the rest. Whether this 18 all the booty that was secured can not be told positively yet, as the whole houso was more or less ransacked. Several other citizens in that vicanity say they beard uoises around their dwelling, ns if some person or persons were reconnoitor- ing, but 8o faras known, no other houses were entered.

Clark & Co. el -l The Water Supply. “I notice that the papers aro gotting the people stirred up about water," remarkea one of the ropresentatives of the waterworks company, *“Idon't see as the water is any more roily than it has boen in times past. Every now and again there is apt to bea little trouble. Just now the river is ex- tremely low, and. as you know, there is a big amount of water used at this time of year. Of course thero 18n't tho chance to get clear water that there is in the winter. A good deal of this grumbling, though, comes from personal spite. Now, all this talk about the pond is wrong. The water comes from the river, and is as good as any Missouri water canbe. It's all bosh about its being un- healthy water, There is epidemic here, is there? St. Louis peovle are pratty healtny. In fact all Who drink Missouri river water live about as long as other people. There can not any surface water run into the con- duit or the pond at the river, uniess 1t runs up hill. Then there's a bank saround tho sides to keep it from running in. The talk about cattle is equally nonsensical. ‘There's a barbed wire fence runmng ail around it, so that cattle can’t get to it. Anybody can see for themselves that the water supply of Council Bluffs is all right, if they will only look for themselves, instead of Listening to every complaint and believing all sorts of stories. It's too important a matter to be treated carelessly, and it is bad to get folks alarmed when there is no_occasion for it.

He also claims that Fraincy made a falso afii- davit to the effect thut the estate was worth only 8500, and was ccordingly abpointed ad- ministrator on a bond of $1.000. He now claims that Frainey is $2,485 in debt to the estate, and as his successor asks that Frainoy’s deed to his wife be set aside and that the title be vested in the piaintiff, Frainey still devotes hims2lf assiduously to keeping on the othier side of the river, vainly waiting for the matter to settle itself and ‘the odium_ attached to it to blow over.

In the county jail yesterday afternoon was a middle-aged man named Ed Gannon, who appears to have lost his mind through re- ligious excitement. All the afternoon he paced the corridor of the jail with his right hand raised above his head, andin a loud tone repeating over and over again these words: **With the help of God, I am the son of God, I am not of this earth, I came down from above and shed my blood to save sinners, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Amen!” A number of persons wried to ascertain from him some knowledge concerning himself or the whereabouts of his friends, but to all queries he responded, **With the help of God, I am thason of G-d,” etc. The unfortunate fellow attended the meetings of the Salvation army during the early part of the summer, until he was taken sick and was removed to the Sisters’ hospital. He was discharged from the hospital a short time 8go and went to work in one of the hvery stables of the oity. He acted a little “flighty’ at timos, but it was not until yesterday that he became thoroughly daft. He will be taken before the insane commissioners to- day, and unless there is & change in his con- dition in a short time he will likely be sent to the insane asylum at Clarinda. He worked for some time for Dr. C. H. Pioney, who treated him on several occasions for his insunity, but the relief exveriencea was oply temporary. The insane commis- sloners {nvo thus far refused to adjudge him insane, but his condition is now so much worse that he can hardly be kept out of the asylum any longer. e Dwelling for sale on easy payments.

Reserving one-half of this space for the the throne and court of heaven, and one-half of the remainder for streets, we have 124,108,273,000,000,000,000 rooms.
