ABOUT THAT TYPHOID FEVE®' Dr. E. Holovtchiner Says No Typhus Bacillus Has Been Found. SAYS CITY WATER NOT TO BLAME Rebukes Alarmist that is Promoting the About Amount of the Disease and Crying ‘“Bofl Water.” Seare OMAMA, Jan. 24.—To the Editor of The Bleo: The dally reports in a certain Omaha | hewspaper of the number of cases of ty- | phofd fever and of the number of deaths from that disease are not only sensational, but are really nauseating. The constant harassing of our school su- perintendent for not causing the water to boiled in the school bufldings is also ex- perating and to a high degree annoying. Let us analyze the so-called typhold fever epidemic and its supposed cause We all know that impure water, bad milk, dccayed vegetables or stale shell fish are greatly responsible for typhold fever, Our city bacteriologist has repeatedly an- alyzed and examined our city water in dit- terent localities, and, has never found in one Instance or in any sample the prit responsible ‘for the city water for the sporadic cases of typhold fever in éxistence today in Omaha. He did find, however, as I understand, under the microscope, colon bacilli and al- buminold ammonia in his analysis; but these agents are not responsible for typhotd fever. They would be the cause of intes- tinal or bowel derangements, and that is probably the trouble we have to contend with In the majority of cases heralded as typhold Admits There is Some Typhold. I do. not deny that we have typhold fever In Omaha. I myself have some cases on hand and very severe ones. was thers a time when we were free from | typhold feyer? Infectious diseases of a:l| \nde, like the poor, we have always with J; but never before did any newspaper sistency. at if all th of existing in Omaha were to be reported daily in the press; or if all mental or nervous diseases were chronicled from day to day, Omaha would have had the reputation of the most infested city with | consumption or would havé the appearance of the most gigantic {nsane asylum in the | world; while as a matter of fact, Omaha has less consumption than any city of its size; and, by the way we are steadily growing and progressing, we certainly are the most sane and safe city in the worid Now as to the harassing of ‘our school superintendent for not having water bolled in the schools; the hue and cry about it 1s equally absurd. It s easy to advise boll- ing water in schools, but how? Did the alarmist cver darken the threshold of our sohools? 1f he did he would know that such a procedure Is practically impossibie. With the probable exception of one or two schools there are no facllities whatever to boil water, and then, after you have pro- cured bol'ed water how would you pro- vide sanitary methods for serving same? Striving to Improve. We are constantly devising all sorts of schemes now-a-days to get away from the trough and cup sy In the schools, water without coming in metal, and we are abollshing the common cup altogethér. We have the Individual eup system, sanitary faucet mothods, ete., but how would we dispénse boiled water It not from a barrel of tub or receptacle of huge dimensions to accommodate the hun- dreds of children [n one school? But why argulng, flguring and calculating, when there 18 no epldemic of typhold fever in Omaha? When the typhofd bacllus was never found in the water and the milk supply found not to be contaminated with typhold virus? As to the cases of typhold fever existing this year—the same cause must be attri- buted to them as was a year ago or any other year, without sounding any unneces- sary and spectacular alarm. DR. E.

UNION PACIFIC HAS NEW PLAN Main Line to Coast from Omaha is to Go Through -Northport, Neb., Into Wyoming on a Much Better Grade. That the Unlon Pacific raflroad will ex- tend its Northport, Neb., branch westward through Wyoming, forming a new main lne from Omaha to the Pacific coast and practically isolate Cheyenne . from the route of transcontinental traffic is in- dicated by reports from the Wyoming cap- ital and from Denver. The proposed right-of-way will mean a cut-oft of forty miles and wil do away with a grade of 1,000 feet to the crest of the Black Hills. It will cover the route of the extension of the Northport branch to a junction with the main line at Med- feine Bow, Wyo., the additional construc- tion to form a new mafn line from Chap- pell, Neb., to Medicine Bow. Word was recelved in Omaha Monday morning that Union Pacific officlals had filed survey plats in Cheyenne from indications work will be pushed on the new extension. It was also reported that the company's shops at Cheyeane will be transferred to Denver. | According to the plats filed in Wyoming the extension will enter the state a few miles south of the point where the North Platto river is crossed by the state line. Through the Groshen Hole country the survey passes nine miles gouth of Wheat- land and elghty-five miles north of Chey- enne, goes through the Black Hills by a series of tunnels and connects with the main line at Medicine Bow. Much Difficult Work Ahead. The detalls piainly indicate the difficulty that will be met in bullding the cut-off. Among the numerous tunneling projects will be one bore 15,0 feet in length and {another 3,100 feet long. A. L. Mohler, vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific, is now In the west, and It Is belleved his business The entire plan is along the general lines of improvement econtemplated in the west by the Union Pacific. The bullding of the new headquartérs bulding In Omaha and is conneeted with that of the new cut-off. |/ the proposed: remodeling of Union station are a part of ‘this plan of wholesale im- provement. From Denver comes the report that the Unlon Pacific has for some time planned to remove its shops from Cheyenne to Colorado. This gives ®olor to the report that the extension to the north of Chey- enne s to be undertaken soon. Removal of the shops frcm Cheyenne to Denver will mean _ the monthly pay-roll of §16,00, or nearly $1- | 000,000 & year, from ome state capita! to another.’ The Union Pacific has a deal on to take over property owned by the Pull- man company in Denver. PAYS HIS SIX DOLLARS ON .| FIVE-YEAR-OLD DIVORCE “Better Late Than Never,” Says Roy ‘Walls as He!Settles for Decree Obtained in 1005. “Better late than never,” is the motto of Roy Walls, a colored man who has just paid up the costs in a divorce decree handed down in November, 1905. Mr. Walls was not late on the whole amount. He pald $3.9 of $9.95 due at the time the de- cree was signed, and Monday he paid the | other 3. Walls sued for divorce from Belle Walls, charging that he was terrorized into mar- rying her on pain of threatened imprison- ment. The decree was signed by Judge Sears, but never entered. Nowadays the district court has a strictly enforced rule that when the costs are assessed to plaintiff in a di- vorce suit the judge shall not sign the d cree until the cash has come Into the hands of the clerk of district court. There s a difference of opinfon as to whether a di- voree granted as was Wallg', with the de- cree signed, is effective or not before the tosts are pald. Under. the mew rule there is assuredly no decree until cakh settle- ment s made. Why Walls came forth at this late date | does not appear. There fs a division of | opinion, one side contending that a dor- mant consclence became suddenly active, the others assert that Mr. Walls is prob- ably contemplating leading a dusky belle to the altar—of his own free will this time—and that he therefore wished the other wiliance severed beyond the perad- venture of a doubt.

Dry Cieanlng Talk Number 2. What Is Dry Cleaning? Many people have erroneous Ideas about what Dry Cleaning really is—they have the im- pression that their clothes are actually cleaned dry—as tho the cleaner by some magic method would pass, his hand over the garment aid say “Prestol It 1s cleun.” Fact is the Word "Dry” is a'mis- nomer. Chemical Cleaning would be nearer correct, only people are apt to assoclate “Chemical” with acids, alkalis, etc., Which are not used 'in Dry Cleaning. The ry ‘Cleaner depends prin- cipally upon gasoline, naptha, ben- zine and other petroleum and coal tar products for his cleansing ina- terial, instead of water as do the launderers. There is no especial the operation except that the knowledgo gained by years of experience “and study, " coupled with & modern and fully equipped plant, enables one to do belter work’ than his competitor. Our dry ecleaners know their business thoroly, and as for our equipment, well—if there is any- thing we haven't got it 18 cocause we have never heard of ft—our plant is the largest and most mod- ern in the Middle West. - The Pantorium . ffloaners and Dyers.” 1813 Jones St. " Both Phones. xt Week—* The Imitators.” e p— WO GRIEF ON BAKE DAY‘. “Pride of Omaha” that's bhard to beat, Drexel Shoe Co., 1419 Farnam Street Consumers Did you ever stop to think that we save you $1.50 on every ton cf our famous RADIANT NUT coul Our price $5.50, others $7.00. and whan | burning' our LANT you are saving §1.00 per Ton Oul brics 30,00, Gihata $7.00. ‘This coal comes from Franklin county, Illinois, ‘and is the best coal mined in the state.
