MAY BE DONE BY DAY LABOR Tmportant Reform in Conduct of Oty Af- fairs Under Oonsideration, Nltll PLAN FOR SWEEPING THE STREETS Change Probable Under the Revised City Charter—What the Work Costs Omaha Compared with Other CIt) ~Upinions of OMel 1t the amendment to the city charter pro- poked by the eommittee which provides that ceftain classes of public work may be done by day labor becomes a law, it Is very likely that no contract will be let for the street siweeping after the expiration of the present contract. Chairman Winspear of the Board of Public Works is emphatically of the opinlon that a considerable sum can be saved by having the work done without contract, and his view Is generally endorsed by other clty officials. Under tho present system the city pays $17.99 per mile for street sweeping. On July 1,(1890, the city made a contract with C. I Bquires to do the sweeping at a rate of $15 per mile for five years. The contractor worked under this agreement for nearly two years, but there was a continual friction be- tween him and the Board of Public Works, and finally he threw up the contr Tho contract was let to James Stephenson for the unexpired term at tho present rate, with the provision that he should be paid for ay least 1,000 miles per year. That makes the cost of the street sweeping during the cur- rent year nearly $20,000. It is claimed that Squires can be held on his bond for the ad- ditional expense incurred by the city in res letting the contract, and that as ggon as the contract expires, which will be next July, suit will be instituted by the city to re- cover the difference between his bid and that under which the contract was relet to Mr. Btephenson. In this connection it is of interest to know that In many other cities the cost of streel #weeping has been materially reduced by the employment of day labor. Last year it cos\ the city of St. Paul just $13,766.97 to clean 1,687 miles of streets. This makes the average cost per mile $3.67, or less than halt what is being paid In Omaha. In St. Paul the streets are swept from early in the spring to the end of November. The sweeping force consists of about sixty men, who are em ployed directly by the city. The force con sists of elglitcen teamsters who are pald $3.25 per day when they furnish their own teams. There aro three foremen at $2.10 per day, and thirty-six laborers who load the refuso in the wagons at $1.60 per day. Besides these the city runs six sweepers and twelve wagons. The work is under the control of the engineering depart- ment, and its business is attended to by a force of clerks in the city engineer's ofiice. There is a general inspector who hae the #upervision of the whole department, besides dump inspectors and timekeepers. The methods pursued in cleaning the Btreets are very similar to those of the Omaha contractor. The sweeping is all done at night, the refuse being swept into the gutters by the sweepers and then loaded Into wagons and carted away. In the business parts of the city the streets are swept every night and all paved streets extending out from the business districts are swept twice a week. On Saturday plght an extra force of men is put on, and the entire city is cleaned up so that it will present a neat and attractive appearance on Sinday. It is claimed that under this system. much better results are obtained than in Omaha, where the cost is more than twice as much. Omaha is not the only city where reforms ars being meditated in the ‘matter of street cleaning. In San_ Francigco the subject has been taken up by the Merchant's asso- clation, who have recommended scveral im- rovements on the system that has formerly sen in use. The association has tried the experiment of hand labor, and a_section of the retail portion of the city is being kept clean in this manper. The expense Is borne by the property owners, the merchants on each block being charged 10 cents per day for twenty-five foot frontage or less and a proportionate amount for larger establish- ments. _Similar experiments are being trled in New York and many other large cities, and the general tendency is to discard the con- tract system in favor of day labor. s Dr. Price's Baking Powder is one of the high grade articles more economical to use than the cheap, weak and unwholesome powders, pi e R Gl HER PETITION DENIED. Mrs. Rhodes' Reasons for Seeking a Divorce Found Not to He G The divorce mills of the district court were put in operation by Judgs Ambrose yester- day and started to grinding upon the case of Ada Rhodes against her husband, George, who s a porter on a Pullman car, Both of the parties to the suit are colored, and for a time Lave moved in the bon ton circles of the colored soclety, belng strong pllars in one of the churches of the north end. Theirs is a marriage which dates from May 4, 1892, and which was celebrated at 8t. Joseph, Mo., where both parties resided for a time ard before they removed to this city. n asking for the bill of separation the wife avers that soon after the wedding ceremony had been performed George com- menced being ebusive and took to drink Not only did he do this, but he even struck her in the face with his fist, and upon one occasion threat d to cut her throat with the family butcher knife. The straw, how- cver, which broke the camel's back, so to speak, testifies Mrs. Rhodes, was when she was thrown out of tho house on a cold December night with only a fig leaf raiment to cover her person. Rhodes enters a general denfal to all of the testimony, excepting that which relates to the marriage, and alleges that Ada ac- quired the habit of staying out late at night, and that when he protested she became in- dignant and left h's bed and board. He also declares upon oath that the woman went to dancing school, and that contrary to his | instructions returned to her home with other men. After listening to the testimony Judge Am- brose copcluded that Mrs. Rhodes had falled to establish the charges alleged, and, as a re- sult, she was denled the bill, after which the ense was dismissed and the costs charged against her. Claims Big Damages. In the case of Tyndale Palmer against the World Publishing company the defendant has filed a motion asking that the plaintift be required to give additional security for costs. The mation hes not yet been set for hearing, but it will be called up during the present term of the court. This is a case wherein the plaintiff asks for & judgment for the sum of $50,000, alleging that his reputation has been mutilated to such an extent that this amount of money would be required to patch it up and mako | It as good as It was some years ago, or at the ‘time of the publication, which it is alleged did the harm.

The semi-anrval convention of the North Platte conference of the Evangelical Lutheran church concluded its delibera- tions at the Grace Lutheran church at 13: South Twenty-sixth street yesterday. The con- ference was in session for three days and a uniform interest was manifested both on the part of the clergymen and the members of the Omaha congregations. The first hour of the session yesterday was devoted to winding up the regular busi- ness of the conference. During the morning the following committees were announced for the ensuing year: Minutes, Rev. W. A. Lipe of West Point, Rev. L. H. Kuhns of Omaha; auditiyg, Rev. A. J. Turkle, Omaha, Rev. H. J. Hapeman, Dakota City; letters and papers, Rev. H. J. Hapeman, Rev. Kuhns; resolutions, Rev. Kuhns, Rev, Turkle, Rev. Lipe. The ' reporis. on the condition of the churches showed that the church work had been earnestly kept up. The contributions for benevolent purpozes were fully up to the apportionments and the attendance at the means of grace showed a growing in- terest throughout the conference. There were large classes of children also being prepared for confirmation and most of the churches reported material accessions of membership. The only regular exercise of the morning session was an address by Rev. H. W. Kuhns, D.D., of this city, who spoke on “The Influence of the Atonement by Reason of Its Necessily and Extent. . The subject that afforded a basis for the discussion in the afternoon was “Holy Liv- ing” Rev. Turkls told how a religious home life can be best obtained and promoted so as to secure the Christian nurture of the children. Rev. Lipe spoke on the effec- tive helps in bringing about a spiritual re- vival in an indifferent and careless age, and the last hour was devoted to the Sunday schools and the young people of the church. Superintendents Penfold, Schultz and J. F. Smith of this city discussed the varlous methods of co-operation of the Sunday school in the work of the church and how to make them effective. t eveuing, after the usual song service, Rev. M. L. Kunkelman of Wayne preached on “The Blessedness of Not Bilng Offended In Christ,” and Mrs. C. Phileo sang the offer- ory. One of the best features of the convention was the sermon by President McCool Thurs- day evening. Dr. McCool took for his subject “The Confession of Peter” and delivered a powerful discourse on the duties of those who avowed the Christian faith. He divided all men into three classes. First, those who had a hesitancy in confessing Christ on ac- count of business reasons; s\'?ond, thosé who had once been Christians, but had back- slidden, and, lastly, those who were living consistent Christian lives. In conclusion he made an urgent appeal to all present to at- tach themselves to those last mentioned, as it was only there that real contentment was to be found, at the Uze Brow Bronchlal Troches for coughs, colds and all other throat troubles. *Pre- eminently the best."—Rev.

Telephoue 1085, Gerwian spoken | A DOCTOR'S MISTAKE It Seemed Slight, but it Caused the Deat@fa Brilliant Man. . ITWAS UN]NTEA\TIONAL The Story Told In Fall and the Lesson It Tenches Made Fiain, “It was a doctor’s mistake!” These words recently appeared in the news- paper accounts of the death of a brilliant American statesman, who passed away In the prime of life. His malady, with its complicated symp- tome, had long puzzled the physiclans who attended him, and it was not until after his death that the true cause was discovered. The doctors had suspected catarrh of the stomach, liver complaint, bladder trouble; they had surmised about all other ailments, but they never once guessed that it was Bright's disease which was slowly but surely blotting out the life of their patient. Mistakes have been the secret of many an untimely end in this mysterious and treach- erous disease. Among the vast number of medical remedies how very few are ever effective In relleving disorders of the liver and kidneys? A mistake in the use of these remedies is often lable to cause death, and doctors, even the best of them, are frequently in_danger of making a fatal error, But there are some things in medical scl- ence about which there can be no mistake, and which can be used in the most critical cases without fear of fatal consequences. That is why so many broad-minded physi- ciang throughout the world have united in proclaiming the merlts of at least one Amer- ican medical discovery, because they know from experience that it is safe and certain. Here, for example, are a few representative opinions which show how thoroughly ad- vanced medical men agree on this important subject. The late Dr. Holland, who was an edu- cated physiclan, some years before he dled wrote in Scribner's Monthly: “It is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day are more successful than many physicians, and most of them have been dls- covered or used in actual medical practice. When, however, any shrewd person, knowing their ‘virtue and forseeing their popularity, secures and advertises them, in the opinion of the bigoted all virtue goes out of them.” Dr. William Edward Robeson of the Royal navy of England wrote to a London news- paper, called the Family Doctor, as follows: “Having had more than seventeen years' ex- perience in my profession, I can consclen- tiously and emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect more cures by the use of Warner's Safe Cure than medicines ascertainable to the The late Dr. Dio Lewis, who seldom pre- scribed any medicine, wrote as follows: “If I found myselt the victim of a serious kid- ney trouble I should use Warner's Safe Cure. The testimony of hundreds of intel- ligent and very reputable gentlemen hardly leaves room (o doubt that it is one of those happy discoveries which occasionally bring ald to suffering humanity.” Dr. A. R. Gunn, dean of the United States Medical college and editor of the Medical Tribune, some time since wrote and pub- lished a book in which he said: “The in- gredients of Warner's Safe Cure are among the most valuable medicines of our materia medica, and the combination is such as to insure the bést possible action on the kid- neys and ufinary organs.” Dr. Andrew Wilson, F.
