GATHERING IN THE GRAFTERS Ohlof White Vigorously Pursues the Visit- ing Orooks and Vagrants, SEVERAL "GOOD” MEN ALREADY IN JAIL lekpockets Taken Out Clrenlntion for the Time at Lenst=Efforts to Protect the People from Thieves, Although the big fair can hardly be sald to have been fairly opened It has already become very evident®to the police that the big crowds which are expected during fair week and the many entertalnments which will draw cltizens from thelr homes are proving & magnet to the crooks all over the country. While the best professionals do not arrive usually In a city where occurs such A big affair as the state falr will be until the blg days there are already In the city Jall a number of men who are looked upon by the police as among the best in thelr chss, and a full dozen who are denominated by the term ‘“gosd” men. This seems to tndicate that during the week Omaha will attract within her limits a goodly number of the men who live upon thelr wits, Chiet of Police White fs ready to admit that the city will in all probability be visited by many crooks during the week, but in the wame breath makes the statement that he s ready for them. He knows #o many thieves and pickpockets and fs so well acquainted among them that he does not think that the best of them will be able to get Into the city without his knowledge. Furthermore, he will act on the theory that an ounce of pre- vention 1s worth a pound of cure, and will not walt for them to turn some trick before mprisoning them, but as soon as he discovers that they are in the city he will at once locate them if possible and place them under arrest and keep them in jail until the fair in over. He has acted on this theory already, and as an evidence of ity success five of the smoothest pickpockets In the country are now in the eity fail. He recelved Information on Saturday morning that a gang of St. Louls plekpockets had arrived in the city, Before midnight on Saturday night five of them, which number may compose the entire gang. were behind the bars. Upon receiving the information the chief had at once given descriptions of the crooks to his detectives and on these descriptions they were located in a comparatively short space of time and before they had time to do any work.

One of the pickpockets was arrested under humorous circumst The chiet was standing In front of a store window on Doug- Ins street, where n dense crowd had congre- gated, and while thero he noticed *St. Louis ' a notorious pickpocket, passing through the crowd. He was about fo go after him, when he remarked-another p'ckpocket, whom he also knew, standing In front of him and evidently geiting ready to do some The chief stood still and rema'ned earnestly gazlng into the window, and the thef st to work “to obtain a luminous diamond that adorns the chlef’s shirt froat, When the thief had gotten well under way tho chiet nabbed him and told his na The thief appeared to take It as a huge joke, and laughel heartily over the Incident, although he was arrested Chlef White rent Detectiva Savage and Officer McLarnan out with a deeription of “St. Louls Irish,” with instructions to find him. The two officers did a very clever bit of work In pleking him with his partner out of a big erowd that got off the cars at Six toanth and Corby strcets on its way home from Courtland. Beach. The two eroojs said that they were working men who had come 0 the city with the Intention of work'n * tho packing houses in South Oniaha, but when Detective Savage sald: “I guess I w'll hays to placa you under arrest, Mr. ‘St. Louls Irieh, " “Irish” threw up both hands by. say- ing that he did not know that any one in PATt of the country knaw him. 8t, Lous Irlsh” is a man 27 years of ago, of unknown name, and s said o have boen a thiof ever since he was old enough to walk.

At that time Ryan was a member of the gang of thieves which infested the city and two of whom killed a shoe clerk whilo the latter was pursuing them in the offort to rogaln a palr of shoes which they Bad Just stolen. There are three other known plekpockets under custody, but who have not attained as much of a reputation. They gave the names of Charles Cavanaugh, Frank Forgie and James Bruroton and were arrosted Saturday morning by Delective Dunn in the company of Ryan, In addition there aro fully twenty men in Jail who are supposed to be crooks and are hooked with the general charge of susplcious characters, Chief White 13 not ready to say that there WwhI be no tricks turned during the week, but he foels confident that the operations will not bo very extensive. He himself will b on the 8treets during the groator portion of the week in an effort to spot any crooks whom he may know, In the same work will be engaged sixteen detectives and old officers in citizen's clothes, In addition to the regular force the resldence portion of tho city will be looked after by twenty-four special officers. While thieves will have a good chance to work thelr graft in the crowds on tho streats, the greatest danger s really from the house workers, 8o far as known very few of these havo arrived In the eity so far, but there will undoubtedly be some here before the week 1s ended. ~ As the majority of the eltizens Will be away from their residencos a portion of the time, at least, to see the falr and view the parades in the evenings, the house S Will have an excellent opportunity to operate It therefore behooves all citizens to carefully secrote thelr valuables before they leave their howmes. A dozen more susplclous characters, both men and women, were arrested last night. Some of them are thioves of local notorlety who have been driven out of the city and have voturned for the falr. Others are of Lincoln and other nelghboring towns.

The very highest authority on agriculture and ita possibiiities says fn reference to the recent development of truck or garden farm- ing in the Orchard Homes region: “Truck farming, although It consists In the production of green vegetables for market, is distingulshéd from market gardening by the fact that while the market gardener iives near a market, and delivers his product with his own teams, usually producing a general varlety of vegetables, the truck farmer lives remote from market and depends upon trans- portation companies for delivery and sale of hin produets, and -usually devotes himself to such specialties as are best sulted to the soll and climate. 1t is for this reason that the Orchard Homes lands suit the homeseeker, Fruits and vege- tables are shipped to the great markets of the north, west and south and bring the pro- ducer the highest price for his product, while he pays the lowest possible frelght rates, thus insuring him prosperity and suc- cess. It Is for this reason together with the fertile soil and equable climate, that Orchard Homes lands pays the worker all the way from $150 to $400 an acre year after year. You do not peddle your product out by the wagon load, but sell in bulk all t you can raise each month and always recelve a good price for-it, - There.is no such thing us a fallure of crop, for an abundant rainfall, refreshing breezes, long seasons and a gener- ous #oll combine to make your success sure and constant. Cattle run at large all_the year and become fat and marketable. They are not tormented by flies or other pestifer- ous Insects, but thrive and do well on never failing nutritious grasses.

DOCTORS EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS Librarian Barrows Produces Authori- ties to Show that Contagion is Not Spread by Clrenlating Reading Matter. In connection with the death of Miss Jessie Allan, late librarian of the Omaha public library, from corsumption, the physician who formerly had charge of the case during the early stages of the discase has publicly as- serted that Miss Allan, without possibility of doubt, succumbed to the ravages of germs transmitted to her through the handling of books that had circulated among infected patrons of the library, This bold assertion naturally created some apprehension among people into whose homes the books of the public library are regularly introduced. It fs natural to reason that if the librarian in charge of the public library can contract con- sumption from the books, so could ordinary book borrowers, and the risk 8f drawing books out of that institution might counter- balance the advantages derived from it. On this point, however, there seems to be no reason whatever for alarm or even uneasi- ness among public library patrons. Librarian Barrows of the Omaha public library has been investigating the authorities on this subject and finds that they are substantially unanimous in flatly contradicting the sensa- tional statement of the Omaha physiclan, “It is_greatly to bo regretted,” sald Li- brarian Barrows, “that the lamented death of Miss Allan should give rise to this question of contagion from books In public libraries, and I could not for a moment discuss any pes- sonal phase of the matter. But I al:o th it is only fair that the patrons of the library and the general public should bo informed of the results which have been reach:d after full Investigation. Very serious harm can be done tl Iibrary by placarding It as a breeding placs for contagion. These dimag- Ing statements, it believed by the people, would impair the usefulness of this institu- tion beyond the hope of recovery. I cannot talk to you from a professional standpoint, ne'ther enter into any discussion on theo simply give you a summary of the facts as reported. ““This matter is not a new subjest by any means and has received full and careful at- tention both from the medical standpoint and from the librarian’s point of view, based on actual experience, STARTED AN INVESTIGATION. “In 1879 the lamented Dr. Poole, then 1i- brarian of the Chicago library, read a paper at the Boston conference of the American Li- brary assoclation on this subject. Dr. Poole said that one of their direciors had lost sey- eral of his children by scarlet fever. Tha director knew of no instance where the dis- se had been transm'tted by books, but was aware it could be communicated by clothing. | reporters wers present and the next the public was told of tha dangers of contagion from this source. So great was the interest awakened that the directors of the library at once took steps toward a thor- ough in igation. Le'ters were written to medical and sanitary experts in different parts of the country and to leading librarins, “Fifteen leiters were received from medical men, and not one of them could give any fact falling under his personal observation tending to show that contagion was ever imparted by a book from a circulating library. The medi- cal experts had nothing therifo e to di-cuss but a theory—namely, the possibility for contagion, On this point nine expressed themselves in the affirmative, three admitted the quasi possibility of such_contagion, and three were disbelievers in the theory of trans- missior The views of the best medicil authorities have bean collected in an art'cle written by W. F. Poole, the well known librarian of the Chicago library. A no less emincnt authority than Dr. Samuel A. Green, city physician of Boston, speaking of the possibility of trans- missfon of diseases by the use of lib-ary books, says: “I have never known an in- stance where thare was any grounds for be- lieving that contaglous diseases were earried by books in clrcuation from the public Ii- brary. Throughout the year 1872 a sevire cpi- demic f smallpox prevalled in this city, and it war my duty to see every patient and to trace if possible the history of the case. In no instance was I able to connct the infec- tion with the use of books from the public libra At that time I was one of the trustees of the Institution and took a particu- lar interest in the matter.” Four thousand three hundred cases of smallpox were investi- gated by Dr. Green. HERE DOCTORS AGREE. Dr. Charles F. Folsom, secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Health, says he can recall no Instance of scarlet’ fever traced to books from a circulating library. Dr. Robert N. Tooker, professor of sanitary sclence in the Chicago Homeopathic college, says: “The means by which contagious dis- cases are transmitted Is one of those qies- tions upon which doctors proverbially disa- gree. The germ theory is just now the dominant one, but it {s not universally ac- cepted, Granting It to be true, it does not follow that the germs are carried by books or letters. Cases of smallpox and scarlet fever are reported where the contagion was pre- sumably carried in this manner, but the isolated cases which could no: have arisen by such transmission are so much larger as to leave the former cases in doubt. One is much more likely to meet the contagion on the street, on the cars and in public assem- blies than on the shelves of .the public librarles. During the last epidemic of yel- low fever thousands of letters were received from the infected districts, and yet no case of yellow fever was developed here. The 800d work of the public library need not stop nor be interefered with through fear of spreading any of the infectious diseases. The probability or the possibllity of its doing so Is 50 extremely small as to be practically nil."” In this connection Dr. Henry M. Lyman ot Chicago, professor in Rush Medical colle Is quoted as having beeli the author of a very satirical letter on the subject of trans- mission of disease by books. The doctor suggests the advisability of appointing an official fumigator for the public iibraries. A city of Chicago’s size he would have under the charge of 15,000 to 20,000 sanitary police- men. No one should be allowed to enter a house without disinfection. Physicians should be housed In jail and attended in their Visits by an assistant jailer to fumigate them afterwards. Every child, the doctor sug- gests, should be taken to school In a glass recelver under charge of a sanitary police- man. He should not be allowed to leave his cage, but be supplied with air from the top, properly warmed and carbolized. Let- ters should be left in the postoffice for a week to be disiufected in a temperature of 240 degrees fahrenheit. People should call at the postoffice themselves, for it is dangerous for postmen to be running about spreading disease “Tho librarians,” continued Mr. Barrows, “who were addressed, did not deai in specu- ! but treated ‘the practical question dir If transmission of disease by books did oceur, the employes of libraries, who are constantiy handling those books, would be the very first to come under its influence. The librarians were unanimously in the nega- tive on the theory of transmission. Mr. Jus- tin Winsor of the Boston public library said that among the hundreds of employes hand- ling books during his ten years' experience there had never been a siugle case of con- ; he thought that sanitary regulation a’ wise thing to do, but more for the ose of allaying appgehension and pro- ting the lbrary from dspersion than any real danger. Mr. Peoples of the New York library took the same view, and the iibrarians of Philadelphia and Milwaukee - concurred. Dr. Park said he had never had a case even of cutaneous disease in the Chicago library resulting from handling books. Both In Boston and Philadelphia there had been smallpox epidemics; books were out and had boen returned to ‘the library, were disin- fected and fi-ced on the sbelves—no con- tagion resulting. ot NEARLY ALL OF ONE MIND, “At the San Francisco conference in 1891 the question was again discussed by Gard- ser M. Jones of the Salem, M 5 Mr. Jones presented the * side, and Inquiries were addressed to sixty-six repre sentative librarianscof the United States, Canada, England .and Scotland. In some cases the librarians:Mad no experience bear- ing on the subjeet. .Out of forty-four replies received, thirty-ninesnswered in the nega: tive on the transmission theory. The con- sensus of opinion well expressed by Librarian Lindertelt of the Milwaukee Ii- brary, who sald: “‘Ror my own part 1 do not believe any merieus danger of carrying contagion by means of library books exists, but there are in ewvery community quite a number of persons who feel nervous on this rubject, and for their e 1t is well to take every reasonable precaution.’ And Dr. G. E. Wire, librarian ref the medical depart- ment of the Newberey library, says: ‘These diseases are not contagious at all periods of their existence, and in thelr worst stages there is no reading done by patlents or at- tendants. Of courge, If you really go into extremes, as do the bacterlologlsts, there would be no chanece for any one to live; germs would be all powerful and every- where. But the human race survived thousands of years before disease germs were thought of, and still survives, despite the germ theorists. In all these reports no librartan actually knew of a case of con- tagious disease being carried by a book, elther to a reader or a library attendant, one case alone excepted, where an attend- ant contracted a skin disease, and that was not a case of what is usually considered contaglous disease, ““The methods adopted in other large cities are in full force ard effect in Omaha, and our public library is amply protected. Every case of contaglous disease in the city is re- ported to the librarfan by the Board of Health, Should the family have drawn books, a notice is at once sent that the books must not be returned to the library until the attending physician certifies the patient Is out of danger. But before the book Is returned it must ba disinfected, and on its reception here It is again subjected to a thorough fumigation before being replaced in circulation, Notices are also posted In the library calling attention to the city ordinancs regarding persons or families where conta- glon exists drawing any books from the Iibrary, a violation of which entalls a heavy penalty. We have all these safeguards, and we have a clear record of not a single case of contagion arising from the handling of books during the existence of this li- brary. “Antiquarian or second-hand book store men handle old books constantly, and are not protected by any safeguards whatsoever, and they cartainly get hold of well worn, thoroughly thumbed lots, and they are long- lived beyond any question. If “this germ theory be true we are exposed daily to dis. ease, and may reasonably expect contagion in the street cars, the theater or the church —anywhere and everywhere that humanity congregates.” DISCUSS CONSUMPTION. Public Library Considered nw Free from the Germs us Other Places. The physiclans of Omala all gen- erally agree that the danger of contracting consumption fs of a re- mote, highly improbable character. When asked 1f he saw any danger lurking about the public library books and 1f it was true that tuberculosis was likely to be imparted by their use, Dr. Paul Grossman smiledl, but his unswer was as emphatic as it was reas suring. It is highly Improbabl:—entirely It 1s £o improbable that we can alm say it is impossible. These stories are all both,” continued the doctor with some unc tion, “and the mitter is carried too far.”” H: then reiated the experiments made by sclen- tific Germans two years ago. They had taken a railroad car in order to ascertain the dan- gers which it climed_one would run from Infection when traveling in a public conveyance. The car had been highly im- pregnated with germs and expozuces of ani- mals made resulted in demonstrating the ab- surdity of the theories of the extremists, Not an animal suffered. ‘The doctor further cx plained that the human blood was what | known as a germicida and in a healthtul, vigorous condition would not succumb to ex- posures. Dr. 0. S. Hoffman 'used in responding to a question similar to that propounded to Dr. Grossman. “It is so highly improbable that wa might say it is almost Impossible. There is not one chance in 10,000 of tuberculosis being imparted by ths use of library books, PEOPLE NEED NOT FEAR. “The only probable method of imparting consumption would be on the supposition that people make a habit of expectorating in the books, Which is absurd, There are so many means of communication, any one of which is more probable than the one advanced—over- work, expoture, hereditary predisposition and tho like. Some occupations, such as indoor life, might make a reception of the g-rms more ready, but none of these causes point to the library as a probable cause of the dis ease. If consumption was' a rare disease it might put another phase on the question when a_librarian succumbed. But it is not. T have had my attention cilled to the system of disinfection employed in Omaha ard I can say that it is absolutely safo and like those which have met the approval of eastern ex- perts. The minds of the people should be disabused of any feers on the subject of ge ting diseaso from using library bcoks. It is a groundless fear." Dr. A. K. Qetwiler also coincided with this view and suggested that in the great Har- vard library there had never been a case koown of attack among the librarians from thesis. The statistics of various libraries over the country had been gathered and failed to show among over seventy employes any symptoms whatever, “The fact that the death of a librarian. in Omaha took place from consumption,” added the doctor, “is not significant. It is only one cate, whereas one-seventh of a1l deaths occur from consump- tion in some form."” Dr. Gifford entcrtains strong views regard- ing enforcing public sanitation and approves the German plan of prohibiting expectoration on sidewalks and other public places of con- gregation. “But so far as a publ'c library being more dangerous than other public places,” the doctor sald, “I think it is even less so than most placas of congregation.” Other phycicizns questioned along this line accorded with these v e 061 LIBEAS Tra 1 with Periodicnl Dysentery. Henry P. Silvera of Lucea, Jamaica, West India island, says: “Since my recovery from an attack of dysentery some ten years ago, it comes on suddenly at times and makes me very weak. A teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy taken in a little water gives me relief. I could get a dozen testimonials from people here who have been cured by this remedy.” FAIR TRAINS, the same words Via Missourt Pacific Rallway, Call at depot, 15th and Webster, or city offices, N.
