CONNELL ANNOUNCES A CLEANUP Health Commissioner Says Steps Will Be Taken to Remove Conditions Responsible for Impurities in the Water. Dr. Millard Langfeld, city bacteriologist, has submitted to Health Commissioner | Connell a report glving the results of re- cent tests of city water. The report is not at all favorable, quite the contrary, In fact. [ Four samples of water were gathered on January 8 at the following locations: The Field club, Twenty-fourth and Ames, 4014 South Thirteenth, Forty-second and Dodge. “All are equally bad says the city bacteriologist, without further comment Of three samples taken from the Walnut Hill reservolr Dr. Langfeld says two are to be classed the same as the four above, and one is even worse. Speaking of the report of his bacteriolo- glst, Dr. Connell said: ‘“Today we are taking samples at the Florence station and at the Burt street station. If it proves that contamination exists and that it comes from the river there is nothing we can do until whatever | condition above Omaha that is responsible can be abated. If, however, find that the fault is In the settling basins, then we shall immediately get busy to have the unsanitary condition corrected; and there will be no foollshness about it either.” Samples of milk examined by Dr we Lang- | fald from two large concerns shows 10,000 bacteria in the case of one company, and but 2,000 in the other. This showing is con- sidered as indicating that the milk s of very high quality. Here’s a Man With a Faith Sublime Not Afraid to Leave Twenty Dozen Eggs in a Basket with a Policeman. With egge at 4 cents @ dozen one could hardly blame him, Henry Smith, a farmer halling from the prairie lands out Wahoo way, approached one of Chief Donahue's gendarmes at Union station. The man from the country bore a large basket in his arms. “Say, officer,” exclaimed Smith, “keep your eagle eye on this basket, will ye, while I get a bite to eat. There's twenty dozen fresh eggs in there and they're | worth & smaji fortune to me."” Pollceman Pool took one peep at the eggs and then began doing guard duty, He did the guardsman's stunt for an even | twenty minutes, until the farmer returned. He realized that his duty was an impor- tant one besides that's the kind of & man he was. [COURTING THE CORN SHOW Indisnapolis Starts Campaign to Get Exposition Away (ro: Next Year.
