EXPOSITION ANNEX BURNS 0ld Police Headquarters and City Hall a Mass of Ruins, ATTRIBUTED TO A BAD ELECTRIC WIRE Factory Total Destroyed dences Nadly Damaged Fire —Wh The hottest fire Omaha has seén since the burning of the Boston store building on the 34 of February last occurred yester day afternoon at about 4:30 o'clock. The fire started In what Is known as the tlon annex at the corner of Fourte and Davenport streets, and before the fire- men quit work the annex was a mass of fuins. There was a large amount of in fammable material in the bullding, princi- pally on the sccond floor, which was occu pled by Billow & Doup as a mattress factory, Pown stairs was Louls Gutting's u\l’l’mgu[ yepair and trimming shops The fire is supposed to have started in the mattress factory from a defective tric light wire. It spread rapidly to the great quantities of excelsior stored there and the employes had a hard time to get out before being overtaken by the flame On account of the confusion there was con piderable delay In sending in an AWhen the department arrived the flames had gained such headway that great sheets of fire poured from all of the windows in both the first and second stories of the building fhe heat was intense and the crowd wa driven back without orders from the polic As soon as Chief Galligan got a glimpse of the blaze he ordered a general alarm sent in d every piece of fire apparatus in the city e ne laid as fast as the alarm came, Lines of hose were companies came up, and the three steamer hitched their suction pipes to hydrants in order to be ready for an emergency. For tunately these machines were not needed, & was sufficient for a two ghe water pressur 4 i or at least a half hour the wtory building. U flames, fanned by a light north wind beat against the walls of the Fx- position building, but the generalship of Galligan and the energy of hig firdmen prevented the mes from dam- ‘Wging this building. It was a hard fight from the start. Some of the hosemen werc griven back time and again by the intense heat, but they held to their nozzles and won the fight In a short time. It was just an lour and five minutes from the time the first alarm was sounded until Chief Galligan ordered some of his hose companies home and declared the fire under perfect control Fire and Police Commissioners Hartman Smith and Strickler watched the work of the department from inside the fire lines, and complimented the chief on his work when the fire was under control. WHO THE LOSERS ARE The carriage shop in the basement, owned by Louis Gutting, suffered almost a total Jass, only a few buggies being pulled out be fore the fire became too hot for any one to get near. Mr. Gutting places his loss at about $2,000, with no iusurance. Most of the buggies in the place were sent there to be repaired, and he did not carry any in- purance on his stock of hard woods stored n the west end of the building. Billow & Doup, mattress makers, occupy fng the second story, are the heaviest loscrs as they had a large stock on hand and only yosterday brought in a fresh car load of excelzior. Mr. Doup had just started for Chicago and had reached” Council BIuff ahen he saw the black smoke and tele- Phoned to ask where the fire was, as it ®ppeared 1o be near his place. He w gold the location and returned. He that the firm employed four girls and fifteen muen and boys, all of whom he underatood escaped unhurt, except Mr. Billow, who “stopped to gather up some books and was compelled to jump from the window to (he ground, only a short distance, and was slightly scorched about the face and hands, When the fire was hottest the middle of the east wall fell in and caused the pipe- gen and crowd to fall back. The roof and the floor fell at about the same time and for a moment or two the smoke was so dense on the streets that a man could not see the person standing next to him. WAS ONLY A SHELL. The building was a frame shell, with a brick veneer, and as the thin brick wall be- came heated from the flames behind the yeneer gave way and the firemen had to keep an eye out for falling bricks. It was during the time of the falling walls that Dack Simpson, driver of hose company No. 8, was hit with a brick and stunned. He fell and sprained his ankle and was taken home, Insurance men say that the building was Mot worth more than $5,000, it that. Billow & Doup's loss will fall under this amount, wnd Gutting's less. The total loss will hardly reach $12,000, all fully insured except Gutting's stock. The property belongs to the Folsom estate. Notwithstanding the fire the Sousa concert ill_take place in Exposition hall tonight. here was no damage done to the Exposi- fon hall or the Fifteenth Street theater. During the fire, sparks from the burning excolsior set fire to L. W. Denton's house, @irectly west and adjoining the annex on Pavenport street. The entire rear part of Rhis house was burned, and the loss on building and contents will amount to $500. ho residence of Willlam Jackson, colored, 415 Davenport street, also caught fire and was damaged to the extent of $100.

No one s so well Known as a mareh writer, and his writings alone would make him famous all over the world after two such successful marches as the “High School Cadets” and the *“Wash- Ington Post.” These show a wonderful re- source of catching strains and bewitching melody, and also something of what Sousa can do with band urranging, He is almost un- precedentedly clever in this way, and almost every score is touched up and mad che d made more at- tractive by “ 8 pen. This s why some of the most familiar music sounds so novel and “attractive when played by Sousa's band. But beyond all of his fame as a o is his greatness as a conductor, This was demonstrated when he made so much of the United States Marine band And now that he has his own citizen band. composed of the cream of the soloists of Gilmore's, Cappa’s, the United States Marine band and other bands, he s enabled to giye his talents full sway, and there 1s.no one to dispute that he has the finest military band ever organized and gives the finest concerts, The two choruses to be sun g by the Avollo club will ‘be adjuncts of great in- terest. They will bo conducted by Mr. Pen- uell and accompanied by the band. Sousa will play his new march, “Manhat- ton Beach," which many declare to be his best. e—— OMESEEKERS' EXCURSIONS SOUTH, Via the Wubash Rallroad.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY. MAY DENTISTS ~ ELECT OFFICERS Next Mecting of the Nebraska Society Will Be in Norfolk, ENTERTAINED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT timent Against the Use of Sub- s Caleulated to Provent Pain Visitors Will Conclude Thelr Work Todny. The Towa and cleties held separate m Nebraska State Dental so. etings this morning in order to elect officers and transact such other business as came before them. The Towa men met in Council Bluffs and the Nebraskans in the Barker block in this clty. he following officers were elected by the Nebraska soclety Dr. Shriver, Omaha president; Dr. Ivora, Wayne, vice president; Dr. McCreery, Beatrice, recording secretary Dr. Huestis, Nebr City, corresponding secrotary; Dr. Cole, Norfolk, troasurer; Dr. Whinnery, Omaha, member of board of cen S0rs, orfolk was selected as the next place for its annual mecting, which will mence on the third Tuesday in May, Three more new members were elected yes terda s follows H. W. Learn, Long Pine; 8. C. Bancroft, Omaha; A. S. Wasson, Ponca, The Towa dentists elected officers as fol- lows: J. 8. Kulp, Musc dent; B. L Brooks, Vinton, vice president; F. T. Breen Towa City, secretary Moines, treasurer. The next place of meeting will be at Towa City, AR Des Begun, After 10 o'clock clinical work was taken up. J. A. Dieffenbacher of York gave prac- tical illustrations in the use of the Hayes apparatus for generating and_applying an aesthetics in dental work. He is an en- thusiast on th ibject and placed several of the dentists under the influence of the hypnotic, but some of them are inclined to ridicule the claims made for the effectiveness of the apparatus, There is one thing, how- ever, the narcotics are combined with air and the patient s not smothered into unconsclousness, as is done some- times by the old methods. Dr. Dieffen- bacher extracted several teeth in an ap- parently painless manner and the patients soon recovered from the effects of the anaesthesia. This apparatus registers the volume of narcotic taken into the lungs and as soon as the patient is under its in- fluence the use of the narcotic is stopped which in a measure lessens the danger attendant upon such operations. But there is a steadily growing feeling of aversion among dentists against the use of gas or narcotics fn any shape or form and it seems to be only a question of time until their use will be dropped altogether. D. P. Simms of Lincoln gave an exhibi- tion of his manner of making the Rich- mond _crown and bridge work. S. R. Patten of Omaha made a fine con- tour gold filling, using hand pressure, and F. D. Sherwin of Edgar, Neb., filled a lower molar for a patient in order to fully demon- strate the efficiency of his new saliva cjec- tor or syphon, which seems to be attract- ing considerable favorable attention from the tooth fillers and pullers. At noon the members of the Towa society came over from Council Bluffs, and in coni- pany with the Nebraska members went to the central fire station in answer to an in- vitation from Chief Galligan, to witness the working of a metropolitan fire depart- ment. The chief ordered the men to make a hitch, and the chemical company hitched and ran a block inside of twenty-two sec onds. The hitch was made in ten seconds and the four horses on the big aerial truck were hitched nearly as quick. Ghief Gal- ligan escorted the crowd through the house, after which the visitors gave three cheers for the department and its chief. One man wanted to know “what's the matter with Galligan?” “He's all right,” shouted the entire crowd and then they went back to close up the work of the convention. PAPERS OF THE AFTERNOON. Discussion of the clinic work and its demonstrations by practical use took place when the societics were called to order in the afternoon. Dr. Sherwin of Edgar was the first speaker, and he explained the work- ings of his saliva_ejector, which has before been described. Dr. Dieffenbacher dilated on his favorite method for using an an- @esthetic, and gave a further description of the Hayes process. The feeling against the use of gas or narcotics in any form, ex- cept in the most painful cases, was plainly shown in the discussion of the subject by other memb Dr. Johnson of Chicago condemned the dentists who advertised the painless extraction of teeth in unsparing terms. He said that the so-called nostrums for enabling dentists to pull teetn without pain were frauds, and had caused the reputable dentists more trouble than any other one thing in their profession. He was greatly in favor of discarding the use of anaesthetics, and thus avoiding _their evil after effects on the patient. Dr. Miller of Grand Island spoke about his style of bridge and open-faced crown work. . J. J. Grout of Rock Rapids, la., read a paper ou ““The Care, Attention and Extraction of Deciduous Teeth.”” He was of the opin- ion that too little care was given to children's teeth, and said that if more attention was paid to the mouths and teeth by parents when the children were able to walk there would be less trouble for the little ones a they got older. He believed that the rule of health and a good health diet would make the teeth grow sirong as well as other por- tions of the anatomy. He said that if mothers exercised more care in raising thefr infants the teeth would not prove very troublesome in after years. He made his remarks very effective by the use of some large charts. James . Flecner of Oskaloosa, Ta., read an essay on: “Why Don’t We Try?" He was followed by William H. Steele of Forest City, Ia., with a paper on ful Hints." The meeting adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning, and today will be taken up in read- ing minutes, hearing reports from various committees and the installation of the newly electad officers, after which the convention will adjourn sine die and most of the mem bers will go home, although some of them have arranged to remain over for a short time 1o visit in Omaha and Counctl Bluffs.

She stayed there but a short time, as her appearance was such as to excite comment, and Wednesday morn- ing called on the county commissioners fo ask that she be sent to the county hospital until after her confinement. None of the commissioners were about the office and it was after noon when she finally managed to see Mr. Livesey, who gave her a permit, admitting her 10" the hospital.
