THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: BUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1903, TWENTY FEET OF TUBING Bain Discloses Extremely Oostly Piece ( of Official Negleot. LITTLE GRAFT BECOMES QUITE EXPENSIVE Douglas County Loses on the Elk Olty Steel Bridge In a Greater Ex- tent Th Was Ever Thought. ( Twenty feet of tubing at §25 a foot made & nice little rakeoff—$600 In a chunk—and the same is likely to cost the county of Douglas $,000. All through the failure of a bridge contractor to bulld his bridge as per eontract. He put in the tubes the specifica- tions called for, but only in the bill. The tubes he put into the bridge were five feet shorter than those he charged for, and this five feet Is proving the most expensive little piece of official neglect that Douglas L county has encountered in a long time, The flood In the Eikhorn river occasioned by the heavy rains laid bare this swindle. County Commissioner O'Keeffe went out on & tour of inspection immediately after the rain had ceased, to determine what damage had been done in the west end of the oounty, and what was necessary to repair it. His arrival at Elk City was most op- portune, for had he been delayed a few hours the expensive steel bridge would now be resting on a sandbar down stream from its present insecure position on Its InsuM- clent supports. Mr. O'Keeffe found the bridge which spans the stream at the cro ing of the Military road swaying, the tubu- lar plers being pushed out of place at elther end, and the strain plate, which recelves the thrust of the truss, threatening to slip oft and allow the structure to fall. Log chains were secured and the plate fastened to the tubes and then an Investigation was made, $ Bridge Builder Makes Discovery. An employe of the bridge company that put in the bridge was on hand to‘assist in making the examination, and he very care- fully went to the extremity of proving the other side of the case. In his anxiety to show that the county commissioners had been negligent in the matter of providing tubes too short he dived and found the lower ends of the tubes lacked eighteen inches of penetrating the sand to the hard- pan. “Those tubes cught to be at least five Jgr feot longer,” was his verdict after he had { finished looking over the structure, Careful measurements were made and the length of the tubes was found to be twenty- 4 three feet. The bridge man, who apparently knew nothing of the specifications, was ex- ultant in the bellet that the mistake had been made by the county commissioners. ' The records of the county commissioners show that on January 19, 101, Commis- sioner A. C. Harte offered the following resolutior Resolved, That Robert Z. Drake, who has i{nm contract for bullding steel bridges in Douglas county, Nebraska, be and ighereby ingtructed to build a 200-foot span steel bridge with steel floor girders and fence ' on fifty-four-inch steel tubes, twenty-eight oot long, over the Elkhorn ‘river at M.l tary road crossing, about one and one-half miles west of Elk City, Douglas county, Nebraska. This resolution was adopted, those voting yea being Messrs. Harte, Hoctor, Ostrom “* and Mr. Chairman, who was then Mr. Con- . molly. The contract price for the bridge was $18,88. Later when the jtemized bill " was rendered and sworn to by Robert Z. ! Drake, and allowed by the board, it con- “tained this item: 113 foet of tubing st $26........ ..32,80%0 “This bill was allowed, the records show- ing the report in its favar to be signed by all members of the board, namely: H. £ B. Ostrom, J. P. Connolly, Thomas Hoctor, A. C. Harte and Peter Hofeldt. Disclosure of the Rain. Now, the rain has disclosed that the tubes on which the bridge rests are exactly five feet whorter than the contract calls for, five feet shorter than the bill paid by the ' county specifies, and that little graft of $500 is certaln to cost the county $5,000 If the bridge is to be saved and rendered safe. Moreover, the same sort of tubular plers are now being furnished the county at the rate of $12.60 per foot, just half what was charged for the five feet that were never . furnished. Henry Rasmus of Elkhorn precinot, him- self a contractor, was paid $ a day by the _ county for inspecting the work of con- struction on this bridge. It Is now alleged " that when Rasmus was supposed to be in- specting the work on the Drake contract he was In reality bullding & bridge hime self in another part of the county. Robert Z. Drake left Kansas City last ssvening for Omaha, after a telephonic talk with Commissioner O'Keofte. They will ¢ meet at the courthouss at 9 o'clock this { morning to talk the matter over. £ One of the features of this bridge tragedy .18 that the piiing on which the old b ¥ at the Military road crossing was bullt & still stands, while the expensive new bridg: Is In danger of being swept awa¥. An- other is that the bridge near Waterloo over the Elkhorn, 100 feet longer span, Is still in good condition, and cost the county but #,600, Bingham A His On: oy. W. W.

Mr. Nattinger was born in Ottuwa fifty-seven years ago, spent the greater part of his life there and his remains fittingly rest beneath the s0d of his native city.

Louls falr, where he remained untll last June, when falling health obliged him to return home.

TROOPS ARE ON THE GROUND | National Guard Ordered to Cripple Oreek District Arrives at Glllett, DENVER, Sept. 5.—The first special train | bearing the first contingent of the national | guard, ordered to Cripple Creek yesterday by Governor Peabody in conneotion with the | strike of the miners in that district, arrived at Gillett at 2 o'cloek this morning. There was an Idea that they would not attempt to enter the camp until daylight. Since the start from Denver Adjutant Gen- eral Bherman Bell has perfected plans for the mobilisation of the entire state militia, numbering 1,600 men, should he wish to do s0. An arsenal will be established, and within twenty-four hours 600,000 rounds of ammunition will be collected in the gold camp. When asked whether he anticipated any serious troubls, General Bell said: “I do not know what we will have to meet wit but I shall be prepared for anything that may tarn up. Rumors that an attsmpt will be made to interfere with the progress of the troops toward Cripple Creek caused General Bell to change the route of travel from the Short Line to the Colorado Midland. 8o perfect wero the arrangements that none of his personal staff kuew the general's inten- tions until they were aboard the train leav- Ing Colorado Springs.

It will gladden and restore the hopeless husbands to healthy vigor, energy and ambition, This curious Bast African plant, con- taining the active principle which pro- duces such marvelous results, was discov- ered by a German botanist. He was sent out by bis government to search for val- ble seeds and plants to be introduced to his native country. While experi- menting with the julces expressed from the crushed stems and leaves of this plant on Guinea pigs and rabbits the pe- cullar effects were 80 pi mchll in the male animal tely tried on the human subject, The results on the healthy male were re- markable, the (nfluence belng manifestod within the first twenty-four hours. nd- ing the erude extracts so powerful, the different parts of the plant ‘were at once put through the usual process in the lab- oratory mnd the alkalold, the pure active principal, separated. This was adminis- lored to several of the patients in the hospital in whom the sexual power had been entirely destroyed for years; their impotency was regarded as hopelessly in- gurable.
