Sexton Blank freely answered all ques. tions put to him by the ofticials, and he said that for infants the graves were dug about four feet deep, and for grown persons five foet. Dr. Somers took a staff thre t in length and forced it through the dirt abovea | number of the graves.

I maintain, and without fear of successful contradiction, that the dissem1 nation of our contagious discases. especially those of childhood, is very I due to lack of proper ventilution in public buildings. I will go farther. That scourge of all civil- ized communities, consumption, is harb cultiva and provagated through of suffcient ventilation, The require | ments of pure air by the human body for its ustenance in a | reasonable de alth is based on well known laws, an departure from that | standard means a lowered vitality and hence ess power to resist ase and throw off poisonous vapors mhated. The adult person in ordinary quiet respiration will exhale about thirty-six enbic inches of air at each respiratory act or 3% cubic inches per min ute. This includes the exhalation from 1u throat and sk This air. it pure when inhaled, should contain not to exceed six or seven parts of carbonic acid to 10,000, But on exhalation we find it contains of this substance 400 parts in 10,000, so i order to dilute this impure aiv and bring ivup to the standard of six or seven parts in 10,000, we must add over $4,000 cubie inches o twenty cubic feet of pure air per minute. A room measuring 2x:52x12 contains 9,600 cubic fect If we place forty-cight persons in such a room they will exhaust the air supply in ten min | utes. Hence it would be necessary to replenish the entire umount of air six times every hour. We will suppose that the inlet for air contaias, after making allowance for all obstructions, two square foet of surface, Then the alr must travel at the rate of 480 feet per minute through the inlet duct in order to give the requisite amount of pure air to the room A great many forms of apparatus been invented and are in use today claiming to give all we ask and more. Many of them will do the work part of the time, but what is needed in our school buildings, churches, hospitals, theaters and assembly rooms is some system that under all citcumstances and every condition of the atmosphere will | give this, the minimum amount, and most of the time one-third greater amount, of pure air. From present kiowledge of the subject Lam satisfied that the fan system is the only one that gives us absolute control of the air supply. The objection to the exhaust system, including the exhaust fan, is that a partial vacuum is created within the room by exhaustion and the pressure is from without inward 'y crevice is filled with the incoming airand at whatever de- gree of temperature obtains on the outside. But if the force fan is used an atmospneric pressure 1s created in the room greater than | that of the outside air, hence your pressur is outward and every particle of air intro duc into the ‘room can be of a specified temperature, Look through the churches, theaters, hospitals and even the school buildings of this city that are heated | with steam. and show me one where there is any prov'si m made for ingress of pure air. You will be shown a hole through an outside wall behind a rtor, but that is not a pos- wive method, It depends on the direction of the wind and the amount of heat in the raai ator how much interchange of air you will get.

The sheriff hdd just finished v account in Tue Brr of th pe of Mur derers Rochl and Pallister from the New York prison at Sing Sing when a messenger boy entered the oftice and handed over a t gram from one of the New York prison officials. The me ge was short, but was right to the point, as it simply said: *‘Roehl and Pallister escaped. Supposed to be headed your way arge reward. Arvest and hold for identification Nothing more was thought of the matter for the time being. as the sheriff supposed that the teleg hundreds that had been’ sent principals cities in_the country thing happened a_few minutes started might be an ince count.

Shurift Beunett took the pape ing at the item indicated discove v/as an account of the two New York men “Yes, I see that,” answered the sheriff,” but what of it?" Lawson then unbosomed himself, and that he knew Pallister as a fried.” 1t was six years ago when they both resided in Cleveland, O. They worked together until about three years ago, when Lawson came west. Shortly prior to that time Pallister had made his home witha Mrs. Finch, or French, who resided in Massillon, O. Goiug into the details, Lawson said that this Mrs. Finch, or French, was a widow. Her husband shot a colored man in Massil lon in 1879, was convicted and sent wup for twenty years, but after having served two years ho made his escape by sawing out_of the prison and at once went over into Ken tucky, where he was killed two years later while engaged in a saloon row.” In talking with Pallister, Lawson said that he had always expressed wonder that his brother. in-law should have gone to Kentucky, saymg that if he had been in the same fix, he would have settled in some out of the v the west. Three years ago I that he was in Ohio and that while there he saw Pallister, who told him that his aunt had removed to Omaha and that he intended to visit her soon. After some additional conversation Lawson told the sheriff that since his arrival in Omaha he had scen Mrs. Finch, or French, and that a few months ago she was residing on South Twentieth street, below Ieavenworth, where she was running a small laundry, Armed with this information the sherift visited that portion of the street indicated and soon ascertained that the woman had re- sided there until a few months ago, but that she had recently removed to Deadwood, in the Black Hills. He also learned that the woman had a4 somewhat shady reputation and that while conversing with her few as- sociates she had said that she had a nephew in New York who intended to visit her and furnish her with money to start a respect- able apartment house, The fact of the telegram and also the in- formation gathered on South Twentieth street causes the sheriff to take considerable stock in the story told by Lawson. In fact, he takes so much stock in the story that he has put his deputies to watching all of the depots and the iucoming trains for suspicious characters, all of whom will _be arrested on sight.

Clara Allen will soon be a free woman, After seventy-cight hours confinement the jury was unable to agree upon a verdict and the complaint against her will in all proba- bility be dismissed. This action will end a controversy which has aroused an unusual degree of public interest, and as far as the courts are concerned whether the woman saw the fatal shot fired at Mayor Miller will always remain a mystery At11:800'clock Friday night the twelve men were brought before Judge Keysor of the crimmal division of the district court, where they stated that 1t would be impossible for them to agree upon a verdict, even if they were kept locked up forever. To this stal ment, made by the foreman, each juror agreed, after which they were allowed to separate and repair to their respective homes. With the ending of the trial Clara Allen is practically a free woman, and _the mystery surrounding the death of Charley Miller will continue to remain buried with his body, as it is settled will never again be placed on trial to answer to the charge which stands against her upon the court records of this county As yet the county attorney has any action in the premises, but it is pretty certain that he will enter a nolle in the case during the next few days. Mr. Kaley hus his reasons for doing this, and is of the opinion that such a course will bs the best for all parties concerned. The trial which has_just ended has cost the county $1,500 and it would b impossible to conduc another prosecution for less money. Beside this, he thinks that the jury was composed of fair-minded men and that if he could not convict before them it would be uscless to try again.

McKinsley had been in the city but a few days, having come from Chicago, where he had been employed as a waiter. Shortly after his arrival he made the acquaintance of Harry Smith. One afternoon he was walking up Cuming street and happened to meet Smith sitting upon the railing on the cast side of the Brevoort block.

The ventilation in the Kellom school depends en tirely upon hot air, and when the fives in the stoves are permitted to go down, or when the wind is high, it is impossible to secure proper ventilation, and complaints have been wrding the odors that arise in the building on these oceasions. 1 contend that there is no system of ventilation 80 perfect as the mechanical one where fans aro used I am not making war upon the Smead or any other system, and am carrying out the | instructions of the Board of Health to en ree the ex g ordinances covering such matters. The putting in of such systems of closets is a_direct violation of the city ordi nances, which clearly provide that wh water and sewer | b8 can be secu: connections with sewers must_bo made that vaults cannot be continued, or none other thun water closets can bo put in. The position of tho board upon this matter is backed up by records from other cities, At Waorcester, Mass.,the dry closet systems were i use in one of the sciool buildings. Within | six months there were fifty-one cases of con tagious diseases existing in the where the school was located, and of the number proved fatal. The | thorities traced the origin of the ey t the system in use in the school and had it removed immediately, ana no more trouble was experienced. We are simply dosirous of enforcing the laws, and are not fighting the Board of Education.” To Quarantine Against Canada. rried into this country from abroad it will probably find entrance by way of the Dominion of Canada. This danger has been discerned by the United States of ficials, and a strict quarantine is maintained at all ports that were affected by the discase last year. Dr. Somers has received an ab- stract of the sanitary reports of the agents | of the government ai the foreign ports. From | this it is ascertained that a number of steer age passengers, mainly Russians, were for- warded from Hamburg March 25 to England enroute to Halifax, their final destination being Chicago, St. Paul and other cities in this country. Ihey wero held five days at the detention barracks under observation before being allowed to proceed.
