A gas stove in the house leaked, and when Scanlan awoke he was 50 weak that he fell to the floor. He managed to get a window open, however, and when he and his family had a chance to breathe a little atmosphere they began to get over the ill effects of thelr experience. ‘We are asked every few days write fire insurance.

SCAFLET FLVIR HAS BZEN CONCEALED City Physiclan Macrae Complains of the Con- duct of 1 octors and Receives Tnstruc- Rigldly Enforce the ! Law in the Fa:ure, tions to The Board of Health held a meeting at th and heard council chamber yesterday afternoc cation from City to a commu Ph; epidemic sician of h referenc the ecarlet fever now going The physicians | ave been somewhat lax in reporting thes cases as required by law. The communica tion in substance said “I have been making an Investigation and | have found that the state of affai is abso- | utely rotten. At 809 Avenue C I found three cases not quarantined, and cther children in | same were going school. At| Avenue B I found a case that cught to | ave been reported six we:ks ago, house to but was | not, and other children living there had been in school all the time. Many others have had the disease and gon: back to school a few days after getting up. There Is a law that covers this class of cases, and every one should be arrested and fined. The doctors think that nothing will b: done and 80 make no report.” The reading of this communication excited a great deal of discussion among the mem- bers of the board. Councilman Gleason said that he had been told by doctors that while there were never so many cases of scarlet fever in the clty before, were very light to be no danger. Councilman White thought that the city physiclan ought to be allowed to fight his own battles, and If he chose to bring the other doctors and the parents of sick ones up with a snap he ought to do it himself. Both Dr. Mcarae and W. S. Mayne, the clty attorney’s assistant, were cailed in for a consultation. Macrae did not think it was his business to file informations against law breakers, because he was only an adviser to the board, not an exccutive offic: physicians, he said, claimed there difference between scarlet rash and scarlet fever and so would only report the latter. The two diseases were in fact one, and all should be reported. The milder the form of the disease, in fact, the more dangerous it was to the community. His duty, he in- sisted, ended when tions of the law to the city marshal, that official should then be required to they without exception, and there scemed he had reported infrac- and actlon against the guilty parties. As a result of all the diszcussion it was decided that the city clerk, marshal and physician should be instructed to enforce the law, and that, the members of the board thought, would fix the business so that no one should be able to shirk his duty on the strength of the board’s neglect to authorize him to perform it. The outcome of the pro- ceeding will probably be that some doctors and others who have been remiss in living up to the provisions of the statutes will be made to smart for it. Before adjourning the board passed a res- olution calling upen the school board to see that the school houses of the city are all disinfected thoroughly during the holiday vacation, BENNISON BROS.

Jail Delivery Last Evening. Sherlft Hazen received a message from his deputy at Avoca last evening notifying him that two of the prisoners in the county jail at that place had broken jail and could not be located. Ed Bird and Willlam McDaniels are their names. Both lived at Oakland until a few months ago, when It was discov- cred that they had been in the wholesale burglary business, and they immediately changed their place of residence -to Avoca. Both have been indicted on several counts, and it they are caught and forced to a trial there is not the slightest doubt of their going to the penitentiar.

Last Sunday morning Trimble was in the rear room of the bank when Huntington was callel before the cfficers of the institution and the representatives of the bonding com- pany. Although he took no hand in the he was near enough to hcar all that 1, sceing Huntington when he fred the shots at the two Fidelity men and also when he turned the pistol toward his own head, sending a bullct crasliing into his brain, At the inquest, Trimble testified before the coroner's jury, reciting the facts of the trag- edy in a most gpectacular manner, describing the movements of all the men and pretending to repeat what they said. Whenever he re- ferred to the shooting, he bacame terribly ex cited and nervous. His friends noticed thi with some degree of alarm and an examina- tion was had, the result of which was that the attending physician held to the opinion that the young man was bordering upon in- sanity, but thought that if he were taken from the surroundings of the bloody scene, his mind might be restored. With this object in view, friends of Trimble started last Wednesday night to take him to his old home at Keokuk, Ia., where his father, Judge Trimble, resides, On the way there, Trimble talked constantly of the shooting of John Huntington, referring to it as a cowardly murder, and one that could been avoided if the young man had been given an oppor- tunity of explaining without being crowded to the wall. As the men prcceeded upon the journey Trimble became more violent and refused to eat or sleep. When Quincy was reached his mind gave way entirely and he was taken to the Newcomb house, where he became quite violent. Trimble has resided in Council Blufts for some ten years, and has succeeded in build- ing up an extensive law practice, having been considered one of the brightest young attorneys in th: western part of the state For some months he has been afflicted with insomnia in a mild form, but not so as to interfere with his business. He was one of the staunch friends of John Huntington, and had always maintained that the young man was innocent of the charges which had been preferred against him by the officers of the bank and the detectives. His relatives aro highly respected and ar: among the most influential people in the eastern part of the state. was a Don't Think 1t.

The work of paving Oakland avenue has been going on rapidly for the past two weeks, and will be completed early next week. It is one of the best Jobs of pa:ing ever done in the city. An excavation of about ten inches had to be made in the center, in order that a concave surface might be presented. A layer of four and a half inches of sand was covered by a layer of bricks laid flat. A 4,000-pound roller was run over this, after which an inch and a half of sand was put on top. Then comes a layer of bricks on edge, and over the whole was run a seven-ton roller. Only the lower layer was of Council Bluffs brick Yesterday afternoon the city council held a meeting and decided to make the change desired by the property owners, from a con- cave surface to a crown, from Ross street to Washington avenue. Had the original plan been adhered to it is probable that the first heavy rain storm would have sent a flood of | water through the houses at the foot of the hill. * The crown will divide the overflow and empty it into two catch basins on Washington | avenue, besides making a saving of 7 cents a foot to the abutting property owners in the matter of grading.
