Medical Luxuries Presoribed by Dr. Keogh for the Uounty's Sick. EXAMINATION OF PECULIAR ~ WORK Members of the Board of Edueation Express Thelr Opinton of the ¢ i's Call for a Statement of Expenditures, Ever sinco the organization of the new Board of County Commissioners an ldea has provailea that the old administration had« an African concoaled in the wood pile, or at least in that portion relating to the dealing out of drugs to the county poor. S0 thoroughly did the members becomo convinced of this fact, that a couple of weeks ago the committee on court house and jail inaugurated an investigation for the purpose of satisfying their own minds upon the sub- fect. Tne work has been quietly prosecuted Wwith a prospect of some juicy developments when the report, which is looked for next Saturday, is made. The members of the committee are very elamlike when it comos to the question of talking and absolutely refuse to give their findings to the public'in advance of the ro- port that will bo submitted to the board. Itis a well known fact that last year the contract for supplyiog drugs and medicines was awarded to Alfred Schroeter, he being the lownst biader. Everything that weunt out of his store, that was furnished to pau- pers, went upon @ prescription from Dr. [Keogh, county physician. Tho doctor to earn his salary attended the county pationts and carefuily administered to their wants, pre- scribing for them as his judgment dictated. It is in the prescribing that the commis- sioners find some things that aro of consider- lo interest to the public, Kor instanco there was one man who was sick. Hesaw the county physician who prescrived one quart of whisky. The medicine was taken by the patient and the next week he visited the drug store armed with another prescrip- tion calling for the same quantity and kind of medicine, This same man secured four such prescriptions from the county physi- clan, after which his name was dropped from the list of county paticnts, it being presumed that the gallon of whisky used during the four weeks either killed or cured. Aunother county patient was sufficiently sick to apply for assistance at the hands ot the county physiciun. The man of pills knowing what™ was wanted to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate at once wrote out a prescrivtion which called for a fino tooth comb without stating whether it whas to bo taken internally or externally. The man got bis comb, which was paid for by the and went his way, cured and happy. re was unottier man who was a severe sufferor, and after learning that Dougias county hired a doctor by the year, the poor fellow visited the man “of phvsic. The con- sultation was held, and when he departed, securely tucked away in his wateh pocket he carried a prescription that called forn hair brush, but the directions telling how the remedy was to be taken were omitted. Theso are only a few of the irregularities discovered. There are any number of in- stunces of a like nature, and when a full and searching invostigation is concluded, the commissioners aro of the opinion that the history of the county doctor and the county drug bill will furnish several chapters of rather interesting reading matter. DOES NOT EASE THEM. Members of the School Board Don't Like the Council's Action, The ity councilis not likely to find the Board of Education in a mood favorable to furnishing the itemised statement of ex- penses called for 1 the Jacobson rosolution at tho last council meeting. ‘While somo of the members of the board seem willing to furnish the councit with the statement requested, others think that the council has no right to assume tho functions of a censor over the affairs of the Board of Education. Speaking of the said: r. Powell derstand by what right the city council makes the demand for this itemized statement. I don't see that it can do any harm particularly to furnish it, but I think we would have just as good a right to ask the council to furnish us with a similar statement of their expenditures.’ *‘In case the coucil should take a notion to cut the lovy asked by the board from 2 mills to say 1! mills, would you be in favor of tak- ‘g logal steps to force the 2 mills' levy " “I certainly would. The Board of Educa- tion certainly understands the needs of the Omaha schools better than the city coucil does, and I think we will do very well if we get through on a 2-mill levy.” Mr. Euclid Martin said: I ses no objec- tion to furnishing the council with the state- ment of our expenditures and of the esti- mated expenses of running the sohool for the current year, but 1f the coun- cil should decide to cut the levy that we have asked thea I should favor a resort to the law which givesthe board power to decide the amount of the lovy. 1 think that we have made a very reasonable ostimate of the expenses and tho 2 mllis levy is novan oxtravagance.' Mr, Smyth was somewhat more decided upon the matter, Ho said: *I am opposed to rendering the council an itomized state- ment of the Board of Education expenses for the reason that 1 doubt the legal right of the council to supervise the workof the board, If theintention of this action on the part of the council is to promoto economy, why don't the council set tho Boird of Fducation an example ‘worthy of imitation In its own deliberations, 1 think the board has done remarkably well to cut the levy from 3 mills, which we got last year, to ¢ mills this yoar. I hope in time that we shall be able to "get along without auy levy whutevor, but we oan’t accomplish that until the liconses and fines fund in- creases, Ishall be in favor of standing by our demand for a 2 will levy. The city coun- cil bas no choice in the matter., The duty of the couveil is purely ministerial, Last year the council cut the school levy from 4 mills to 8 mills, but under the preseunt charter the conncil has 1o such authority, “Members of the Board of Education, I think, are just as patriotic and just as capa- ble of attending to the business that de- volves upon them as the members of the oouncil.” The question of furnishing the itemized stutement asked for by the counoil will come M) at the regular meoting of the board next onday night and will probably briug out a lively debate. —_— Physicians say that there is no remedy for consumption, In some cases this may be oorrect.

Prastibinind -4 AT HE WAS AWFUL MAD, An Irate Passenger Who Had Been Confi- denced and Foolod, 1t is an outrugeous 1mposition 1" Thus spoke a man in a crowded street car last evening, us ho rammed acopy of the ‘World-Herald into the car stove. 1 bought that sheet bocause the newsboy cried out tho assassination of Minister Egan. 1 found only threo lines on the subject. The heading states positively that ligan was as- sassinated, while the faked dispateh, prob- ably written by the Omaha editor, discredits the first statement. When I saw this dis- parity I stepped back to the newsboy to tell him he had misrepresented things. Ho re- plied that he didn’t care—that the World- Herald man had instructed him to cry tha assassination of Egan. “I will wager a thousand dollars thal there is not the slightest foundation for the report, 1t is a fake pure and simple, manufactured solely for the Burvose of selling extra coples of the paper. But itll be my faultif that paper over fools mo again.” The irate passenzor was speaking to a friend, but his remarks were overheard by everyone in the car. Another passenger felt called upon to roastthe Fake Factory for other similar sins, and he took for his text tho white whiskerea romance of the pro- posed building on Farnam street. In double leads and on the first page the World-terald announced that B, F\. Smith the Boston capi- talist would soon put up & mammoth store- house just above the Board of Trade build- ing, Dewey & Stone were to ocoupy the new building as a retail furniture store. The editor, probably thinking that it would be unfair to mention the latter firm and not give the Shiverick company equal notice, made the positive announcement that Mr. Smith would also erect a large building up town for the Shiverick eople. On Lop of all this, the heavy editor got in his work on the fako and pounded the boomlet tomtom in & manner worthy a better cause, Mr. Smith took the trouble to notify Tne Bee that there was not the slightest founda- tion for the story. ‘Wednnsday morning again the Fake Fac- tory announced that JohnfA. McShane had!de- cided not to puechase the lot at the corner of Fifteenth and Harney streets upon which he had intended to erect a hotel. 1t was further announced that Mr. McShane had dropped the whole scheme. A Bee re- porter saw him Tuesday and asked him about the report that bhe had pur- ch | thelot. He declared that he had just concluded to do so, and that he was ne- igotiating with parties whom he expacted to undertake the enterprise of putting up a new hotel building on the lot.

Mr. Kimball Opposed to Putting Them on Exhibition—Rallrond Notes, It baving been suggested to President Kimball of the Union Depot company that he put the two sets of plans for the structure on public exhibition at an uptown business place, in order that peoplo may compare them, that gentleman was led to say that the proposition was ill advised and impracticabie. “Tho dotailed plans of the depot, he stated, cover & hundred sheets of paper, half of which are two-thirds as large as & common nouse door. They cost ovor §16,000, which figure will be increased by other plans yet to be furnished. Mr. Kimball thinks very few people have the time or patience to examine these papers, oven If they have the technical knowledge to understand them. and, at any rate, the depot company will not subject 1ts valuable plans totho possiblo loss or damage of such an exhibition.

At the present time the indications are that the meeting will be without & place to lay its hoad, owing to the fact that the treas- urer's office in the new city hall, which for several months has been used as a council chamver, is in the hands of the mecbanics.

THE OMAHA | AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Reckless Boys Who Daily Defy Death and | the Motormen. ANTICS THAT WILL END IN A TRAGEDY Maliclous Meanness Which Makes the Con- ductor's Life n Weary Round of fanity—How the Tug of War Went Last Night. The motormen complain that a number of impudent boys, some nearly grown, are con- stantly annoying them by stealing rides be- tween H and Vinton streets. It is not the stolen rides and insolence of the young imps that they care particularly about, but the constant peril in which these young fellows place themselves by jumping off of motors running at full speed to catch on others coming from the opposite direction. - Withia the last few days three or four boys havo had very nar- row escapes from getting killed. Yesterday one jumped off the rear end of a trailer and attempted to run 1o front of a motor coming from the opposite direction, when ho was struck and knocked down. The motorman reversed his lever and put on brakes, and when he stopped the train he expected to see the manglea remains of the boy on the track. But by some rare good fortune the boy was thrown to the side of the track and burely escaped being crushed by the wheels. When t!ie motorman looked back he saw the young 1mp with his thumb on his nose, his fingers extended and heard him shouting: @''Say, get a move on ye; wot's de matter wid ye, anyway 1 Onoe or two boys have been killed while up to such antics and the motormen huve a con- stant dread that more will meet their death in & similar manner. They have therofore appealed to tbe police to look after the boys and, if necessary, arrest them. Innumerable tricks are played by these pests, one of which is to set the rear brake and ring for the car to stop. This causes many needless stops and much aunoyance. Tug of War, ‘The tug of war contest 18 the ail-absorbing topic in South Omaha, and Blum’s hall was crowded with visitors last night to witness the struggles between Sweden, Germany, Ireland and Bohemia. The first pull was between the Swedish and Ger- man teams, It was a stubborn con- test, but the Scandinavians won from tho start. The Germans died hard, however, and it took an hour ana fourteen minutos to get the requisite four feet of rope from the Scandinavians and it puts them in the lead. The members of this invincible team are: Nels Lundgron, captain; John Lind, anchor; J. Mattson, John Johuson, Fred Johnson, Jacob Jacobson, C. E. Johnson. Alexander Lind, O. Newstrom, Ed. Johnson. Combined weight, 1,675. The next pull was between the Irish and Bohemian teams. After a fow minutes’ struggle the belt of the Irish anchorman bursted and after some debate the contest was suspended until it could be mended. The members of the Irish team were: John Sexton, captain; John Fitzgerald, anchor; Dan Regan, E. Killinger, H. Killinger, John Duffy, Dave Mulcahy, Timothy Coftee, T.

The principle bone of contention was the liquor question. (. . Washburn, national secretary of the people’s party, and the other members of this organization present,laborad in the general meeting, and afterward in the committee, for the adoption of the following: We belleve tho solution of the liquor prob- lem lfes In_ubolishing the slement of profit which 1s 0 source of constant temptution, evil and corruption, We therefore demand that the exclusive importation. manufacture and sule of intoxieating liquors shail be conducted Ly the government.or state, at cost, under conaitions and restrictions wWhich may bo adopted by the various states. In adopting this as a national plank, we give no offense to elther the personal liberty nien or to the pro- hivitionists. We merely deciare for the prin- ciple and leave the restrictions for adoption to the various states according to the tem- perunce sentiment in each stato. Tho fight for ‘“nationalizing the liquor trafiic” was largely ineffectual, however, for it found no place in the address brought in by the committeo to be presented to the com- ing conyention of the people's party in St. Louis. Ignatius Donnelly, in reporting the result of the committee's labors, noted the ommission and expressed tho opinion that the address 1n its present form would not be acceptable to the psople's party. He re- ferred to the numnber of foreigners in the party, and said the prohibition clause should be modified to as to save to them the idea of individual right in the matter of beer arink- ing, held by them so tenaciously, In the committoe room ho said he had, though him- self a baliover in tomperance, ndvocated the substitution of the phrase, “‘abatement of the liquor traftic,” as being more acceptable to the people’s party, but he had been over- ruled by the rest of the committee, Tauvencck of lllinois moved to accept Donnelly's suggestion and substitute the word “‘abatement” for annililation, but E. J. Wheeler suggested that “suppression” would be a better word, and in that form the ad dress was adopted. After the vote Taubeneck announced that he had neither voted for nor against that ad- dress because he was confident that its state- ment of the prohibition question would not be acceptable to tho people's party.

She said that she wanted to rap against Thomas, but sho did itin a manner that caused merry aperatures to apvear in the faces of all the spoctators, and once or twice the court met with indifferont success in suppressing an involuutary cachinnation. The abused woman said that Tom wasn't really a bad fellow, the worst thing about him being that ho was a bachelor. She didu’t want him punished soverely, but advised the court to reprimand him, “good and plenty," “You are akind-hearted woman, aron't you?” asked the judge quizzically, “You bet I am. Tom knows that. you, Tom!" and a flood of Jauua was turned loose at the same time. Stevons, however, did not deign a reply. The judge was disposed to administer a reprimand as sugwested, but when ho learned of the unusual good nature of the prosecut- ing witness, he concluded that Tem's offonso was greater than ho had at first supposed and accordingly fined him &5 and costs.
