ANT GALLIGAN DISCHARGED Joint Oommitt:e of Oity Council and Com- meroial Olub Desires Radical Reform, REORGANIZATION OF FIRE DEPARTMENT Bentiment of panios Ex- pressed with Great Effect—Fecble Water Pressure Augmented by Weak Fire Department Managemont, Insurance Co The special committee composed of mem bers of the city council and the Commerclal ©lub which has been engag'd in investigating $he deficter in water pressure and other fire fighting facilities concluded its delibera tlons at the council chamber night and declded on a report ommend a radical reform. It will recommend the re tirement of Chief Galligan, preparatory to & thorough reorganization of the fire depart- | ment and the addition of new men and ap- paratus. Ths only witness examined last Captain H. E. Palme to repr the insurance He was asked to tell what he knew about the big fires that have occured in the city during the past few years, He testificd at length a8 to the circumstances of the Omaha Hard ware company fire, where he said the fire- men wers fifteen minutes getting a stream on the building. Then th o unable to | get a stream above the second story the time of the fire in the Omaha Republican building there was an absolute lack of wate. pressure and the building was destroyed by a fire that could have been easily qu nched if there had been a sufficient press At the Farnam Street theater fir men were from five to eight minutes in get- ting a stream on the fire. It was alleged that if the firemen had got into the building at the start the blaze could have been con- fined to the stage. The Morse-Coe fi of bad Ppressure. INSURANCE COMPANIES FEARFUL. The witness then went on to declare that the leading insurance companies had con- stantly shown a disposition to withdraw their business from Omaha. For thres years the losses pald in Omaha had amounted to twice as much as the premiums. companies had complained both of the insufficient water pressure and of bad management on the part of the fire department. They cited the fact that other cities of the size of Omaha had twice as large fire departments and expended twice as much In malntaining. Unless some radical action was taken fully 50 per cent of the insurance business would be with- drawn. During this time rates had been ad- vanced fully 40 per cent and this was a direct burden on the men who owned prop- erty. The companies had agreed that if a reform was inaugurated those which had withdrawn their business would return and the last reduction In rates would be with- drawn. The charg> had also been made that there was a lack of discipline in the fire de- partment and that the chief was not fit for active service on ac of bad health. When asked what the insurance comp would require the witness said that would be satisfled if three new engines were purchased, together with a sufficient amount of hose and enough men to work them. They also want a larger maln on Douglas stroet and some additional hydrants in the business district. They also want a man imported and placed at the head of the department who is familiar with fire fightiog in big « clties and with modern appliances. South Omaha cut an important flgure in the matter according to the witness. The companies depended on assistance from the Omaha fire department in calculating their risks in_South Omaba and on account of the weakness of the Omaha department $300,000 in South Omaha Insurance had been with- drawn during the past sixty days. If the packing houses could not get insurance here, they would have to move (o some other city and Omaha was consequently interested (o this extent. There had been a continual tendency on the part of the companies to reduco their lines, and where agents were formerly free to write a line of $15,000, they were now restricted to $5,000 or less. The witness admitted that some of the in- creased husards might be charged to the in- crease in the extent of electric wiring in buildings. Three or four years ago therc was little or no lighting by electricity in business buildings. There were probably a dozen risks in the city on which the risks had been advanced on account of alleged de- fects {o wiring. OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE, After hearing Captaln Palmer's testimony the members of the committee went into ex- ecutive session to agree upon a report. They were closeted for a little over an hour and then, it was stated, that they had sub- stantially agreed upon a report which would probably be unanimous. The report will bo drawn up at a meeting to be held at Mr. Montgomery's office at 11 o'clock today, and | will probably be presented to the city coun- cll this evening. It will find in substance that there s a lack of water pressure and that the present system should be reinforced by larger mains and additional hydrants in the business portion of the city. It will also declare that there Is a lack of efficiency in the fire department both in regard to num- bers, apparatus and discipline. The pur- chase of at least three new steamers of the most powerful make will be recommended, together with additional hose and a material addition to the present force, It will ask that a new chief be employed at once, who must be an expert, who has a thorough metropolitan experlence and is familiar with the best methods. The new chief will be expected to effect a thorough reorganization of the department. last which will night was who was supposed mpanies the firc : was a shining example management and {nsuffici-nt water Ask for More Engines. At the meeting of the fire and police com- missioners last night Commissioner Strickler introduced a resolution -requesting the mayor and city council to authorize the purchase of three first class steam fire engines and 5,000 feet of hose, and to also provide funds for | the malatenance and equipment of the same. | After a short discussion the resolution was adopted. i No agent in the domestic domain serves 80 well as Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. | e BROKE BREAD WITH BOOTH. Omaha Citizens Meet the Salvation Leader at Close Range. It was a closer range than at any time during General Booth's sojourn in Omaha that a limited number of invited guests were permitted to see and shake hands with the author of “Darkest England” and the great | head of the Salvation army of the world at a | breakfast given In the general's honor yes- terday in the crypt of the First Methodist church, a breakfast that was provided by the ladies of the church and therefore complete in all the essentials that go to make up such an affair. The table was arranged in the center of the room, three sides of a hollow square, with the guest of honor at the head. To his left sat Rev. Frank Crane and to his right Mrs. George W. Hoagland, the hostess of General Booth during his visit to Omaha. In addition to these there were present representatives of the business, pro- fesslonal and social world of the metropolis H. T.

In New York City, for five con=- secutive years, the proportion of Deaths from Consumption has been three in every Twenty Persons. Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and iseases of similar character, so ter- ion wide spread alarm and receive the most careful consid- eration for their prevention and cure, while consumption receives scarcely a thought, yet the number of their victims sinks into insignificance when compared with those of cnusmurllnn, Comparatively few people know what to do for their loved ones when they see them gradually lose strength, lose color, manifest feeble vitality and emacia- tion, or develop a cough, with difficult breathing, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil was for a long time given in all such cases, but the poor success attending its coupled with its nauseating taste has led many practitioners, as well as the public at large, to place their main reliance in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It de- serves early attention and will prove effect- ual not in everycasebut in a large perceptage of cases, and we believe that fully o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if taken in the stages of the disease, be cured with the ‘“Discovery.” Dr. Pierce does not k people to bel until they have in- estigated for themselves. A pamphlet lias been published having the names, addresses and photographs of alarge number of th cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingerinj coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catasrh :mfi kindred maladies which will be mailed free to those sending for it with their name and address upon a poestal card, or you can have a medical treatise, in book “form of 160 pages, mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents ip stamps.
