Omal ptying Its Filth Into Water Used for Drinking Purposes, A matter has just come to light which de- serves the immediate attention ot the city council of Council Bluffs. A new sewer has recently been built in Omaha, intended to drain a largd portion of the northern part of thecity. The district 1t covers is 4,940 acres in size, according to the plans drawn by City Engineer Rosewater of Omaha, and the main outlet is at Florence, a few miles north of the city. This throws the filth from the entire district into the river at a point abovo the place where Council Bluffs gets her sup- ply of drinking water, This state of aff. is one that should not be allowed to exist a day longer than is nec- essary. ‘The altention of City Physician Macrae has been called to the matter and he intends to give it his immediate attention. He states that from what he has heard ho thinks the outlet of the Omaha sewer is so far above the source of the water supply that no danger need be apprehended. The sower is not used as yet to uny great exteut, but as North Omaha builds up it wili go on pouring out a constantly increasing amount of filth into the stréam and pollute the water until iv becomes a breeding place for disease, By requiring the water works company to move its pumping station above Florence this trouble can be done away with, It is probable that some action will be taken as soon as the city physician has time in which to make i report.

'l‘llflfll WVIRA“NT s Tontet in Which Den- and Wil in the Mastery, Notwithstandi fact that only one match was to be plnved last night in the Omaha tennis tournament there was as lamr a gathering of spectators on the ground qn rney nmu\ohny day during the Rl ?L fvan nearly 7 o'clock when Denise and Wilbur entered the cotrts to do battle with Hart and Rh'lmma\’owk for a place in the semi-final round of doubles. Denise's success in the singles against Hart gave interest to the smatch, and when the game started ibicdeoked for a while as if Hart,, ,vould have his revenge. It was perfectly evident that Denise was less fn\‘f&flnblu at_doubles than atsingles, and hig-pirtner was weiker than himself. Time after time, however, was a ball sent to Witbur and if he got it back 1t would be returned down Denise's side-line as a winning stroke. By this means Hart and Youhg, whose combination was far superior, won ' the first set at six games to four, and had won three to their opponent’s two in the second, At this point, however, there was a change, For several games Denise returned every ball that came to him on the volley and thirteen consecu- tive points were scored by his side, This altered the aspect of affairs alto- gether and Hart and Young, both of whom seemed to become less and less accurate as their obponents improved, took only one ame out of the last ten. Though again eaten, Hart played a more ac-urate and more ambitious game thau he did in the singles, but the greater number of the balls, especially toward the end of the match, were directed to his partner's side of the court, and Young was given a-little more work to do than he could manage success- fully. Tt should be said that tho volleyine on both sides was first class and, at times, even brilliant, Deuise and Wilbur will next meet McKell and Brown in the semi-final round. In the upper hatf of the draw Brown and Haskell will oppose Fosbenuer and Lawrence in the semi-final, and both these matches, the com- mittee has decreed, are to be played by Mon- day night.

CHICAGO, July'14.—-Great precautions will be taken to mnko a repetition of Monday’s awful dfsaster an impossibility. Every olficial is' ardiised and in the fu- ture firemen, employes and visitors will be given full protection. In order that nothing more may be said concerning thedanger of the promenades on the roofs of the buildings, the administra- tion yesterday instrueted Director Gen- eral Davis to keép the people from the roofs. This willmost affect the Trans- portation, Adm,lnis!.mtwn and Manu- factures building, . The order met with o vigorous protgst +from: the eleva- tor people, who bnwe a - concession for carrying people to the root; but the pro- test was not considered, The exposi- tion company recaives 65 per cent of the gross roceiptsand it héis* been a highly profitable concession from the start. The magnificent view affordea from the roofs of the buildings attracted an im- mense number of visitors every day, and while it was both a profitable and ad- mirable feature of the fair, it was one fraught with danger which is now recog- nized and will be avoided. An indication of the possible danger was given the night of Decoration day. Tt was the first extremely large crowd at the fair. Four or five thousand people had gone on the roof of the Manufactures building to see the fireworks. There was a plank sidewalk around the para- pet of the roof simply to make walking upon the roof unnccessary. One of the planks slipped @ little, o that when it was stepped on the other end flew up. There was no danger, but there was a crowd. Some one screamed. There was an incipient panic, Everybody made a rush for the elevators. Fortunately the strong forces of guards were able to control the crowd and restore quiet. No one was hurt, but it simply shows what might happen in case of fire. The chances are that in such a case exit by the elevators would be cut off the first thing. What would fol- low with a large number of people on the roof can scarcely be imagined or described. As the concession is such a valuable one there is a possibility that the econ- cessionaires may sue the exposition company for thus summarily cutting off their concession. They probably have a legal right to damages. = Still there is an element of such frightful danger lurking in the concossion that the con- cessionaires may be willing to forego their legal rights.

A passenger on the west bound Union Pa- cific tram was taken in for §0 yesterday while the train was stopping for passengers, Tho tourist was standing on the platform and seemed anxious that every one should kuow thatho was aboard. He was well dressed and was jiugling some silver in his pocket whon two men approached the car and asked the fellow if hocould change a 810 bill. “Ishould smile T could,” replied the pas- senger, and he pulled out his well filled purse. The first bill he got hold of was a €20, He held this betwoon his fingers while ho stsrted to fish out something smaller. One of the two men snatched the £20 bill and the tvo ran away, dodging behind box cars and making good their escapo.
