STIRS UP COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY No Momey to Pay Extra Nurw Father Has a W G Institation. but Commisstoner’ ter Job i ener at The Board of County Commissioners met at its chambers at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and then, on motion of Connoll chairman of the charity committee, ad- journed to the county hospital and there held an “investigation” of the conditions prevailing at this institution. This inves- tigation served to prove just two things. First, that some religious workers who have often visited the Institution belleve there is immediate and urgent need of an additional nurse for the male ward and more rigld diseipline of the entire force of employes, with close survefllance of the inmates. that they may be permitted to recelve no liquor. Second, that Commissioner Connolly con. siders it none of Will Brown's business that Mr. Connolly's venerable father is the man who Is drawing $25 per month and his liv. ing for serving as gardener through the winter months as well as the summer months. The evidence brought out In the lnvesti- gation lacked a great deal of justifying the sensational character given the charges by an evening publication, but both Rev. C.-H. Young of St. John's Episcopal church, and Will Brown of the St. Andrew’s soclety, who were the chief complainants, asked to be excused from responsibility for the “yel- lowish” interpretation of their remarks, and explained to The Bee that it had been thelr purpose merely to call attention to needs in certain departments and not to sail the institution In general. What Rev. Young Saw. In the course of the investigation, Rev. Young was the first to testity. He related that he had observed neglect of some uf the male patients at critical times in their sickness and that he had observed also some drunkenness among the inmates on Christmas day. WIll Brown subwtantiated these charges, explaining more explicitly that the help. less had not been washed mor had their linen changed often enough to keep them even decent. Mrs. Priess further stated that George Sayres, consumptive, had been & particu- larly distressing case and that her husbana bad been complaining of being beaten dur- ing her absence, but sald that Mrs. Henry Oest had been an excellent matron. County Physiclan Lee Van Camp sald he did not notice material difference in the conditions now and those prevailing when he was intern, but that he then had two nurses, including one whose work he had shouldered, In part, that the latter might attend medical school. Dr. W. F. Milroy thought the conditions occasionally might be criticised, but that in & general way the hospital has been very creditably conducted. Dr. Stokes of the surgical staft said he thought this hospital compares favorably | with that of Cook county, Illinois. Rev. | Young interpolated the statement that he has seen vermin crawling on the pillows of the patients. H. G. Manville said he had seen the closet bowls in a fithy condition, evidently from neglect. Commissioner Ostrom stated that he thought the complainants, 1 they desired merely more attendants at the hospfte] should have approached the board in per. son Instead of leaping into print. Hita at Connolly, Commissioner Connolly made the an- nouncement, hitherto kept secret, that the nurse-druggist had resigned some time ago, but that the board had refused to accept such resignation because not yet able to find anyone willing to take his place at the ralary offered. Then came the clash of the day. “‘What I8 the salary?”’ asked Will Brown. “It s $25 per month and his living here,” sald Chairman Connolly of the charity committee, ““Well, couldn’t there be a lopping off somewhere ¢lse to increase the pay for this work?" was Brown's next question. “I don’t know of any,” answered Con- nolly. ““Haven't you a gardener here now?" “Yes. “What does he get?" ““The same salary as the other." ““What 1s his name?" ““Well, Mr. Brown, I will answer that by saying that it is none of your business. He s not under investigation. Now do you feel satisfled?” “Yes," answered Brown seremely. I knew his name without asking.” “l thought you did,” responded Con- nolly, and very shortly the hearing ad- journed to the court house. Nothing was done there. It is said that Ostrom was ready to move to employ an- other nurse, but that the other commi sioners prefer not to take the action just | at this time. When Mr. Brown was asked what the complainants would do next, he answered that they would walt to see what the board | does and if it does mothing, probibly will | “stir it up again.” A Champlon H Bucklen's Arnica Salve, the best in the world, cures cuts, corns, burns, bolls, ulcers, sores and plles or no pay. 25c.

At the last session of the dlatrict court over which Judge Westover presided, Rush was vigoroualy prosecuted and was promptly acquitted. He was rightfully acquitted, too, because the testimony of the three Indi- ans, who said he had given them the liquor, could not be corroborcted in a single in- stance, as they were kept apart and were not pormitted to hear each other's testl. mony. Nelither was the testimony which they gave convineing.

He held out to be passed upon later seven ballots, five of which will be for Lobeck unless technical objections are sustained.

It was reported on the streets yesterday llhll E. A. Cudahy had commenced nego- | tiatlons for the purchase of the entire property owned by George L. Miller just west of the city. It Is understood that Mr. { Cudahy has made an offer for the entire property, including the lake. Mr. Cudahy, 60 it Is reported, is willing to pay $45,000 for the property as it stands now and the lake. This has been refused by Dr. Miller | and negotiations are now in progress. At the present time the Cudahy company pays | Dr. Miller $4,000 & vear for the privilege of cutting fce on the lake, with the under- | standing that Cudahy owns the entire erop. “The scheme for purchasing the property of Dr. Miller,” sald a person who is sup- posed to be in close connection with Mr. Cudahy, “Is ultimately to result in estab- lishing & resort at the lake similar to that at Manawa and at Courtland beach. It is erted that there Is fine fishing at the ake and that if money enough is Invested the lake will be made a popular resort. With this idea in view surveyors have laid out a line for the extension of the Q street car line from Thirty-ninth street west to the Burlington crossing. If this car line s extended beyond its present limits it will be necessary to do considerable grading, but it is thought that fnis can be arranged without any difficulty. sumers here are being supplied with Illi- nols and Missouri coal. For two weeks not a car of soft coal has been delivered to lo- cal dealers, although orders were sent in months ago. The packers still get a mini- mum supply and hope that the shortage of cars in the west will soon be over. With the packers it is the same old story that they teil to the rallroads every day, and that is “no coal, no shipments out.” But with local consumers the rituation is get- ting down to the worry point and many residents are now trying to make the ac | quaintance of wood sellers. Wood Is also ecarce, but enough is being brought in from the country to supply the city for some little time.
