10 WHO WILIL CUT THE NICE ICE?| That's What Conndl Wants to Know, | Dave 0'Brien or Howell? AND BERKA JOCKIES FOR A START Health Commissioner Thinks Little of Couneil’s Water Resolution | and Fiest ' Ward Member Thinks Less of His Job. Commenting on the resolution passed by | the city councll to have an Investigation | made of the reservolr and settling basins | of the Omaha Water company and to have them opened for aeration of the surface, Health Commiseloner Connell s somewhat dublous of results What efin be done under such a resolu- tlon?" he countered to a question as to his | Intentions. ‘Thore places are frozen over solidly. Who I8 to cit the fce out, and who is to PAy for the work? 1 doubt it we can force the wéter company to put crews to work | cutting fce; and If that should be done, how long Would the surface remain of fee In this kind of weather?" Dr. Connell had heard the rumors that from ohe to 111 bodles of bables and adults, white and colored, had been found in a reservolr or a settling basin, or In all of them He admitted tacit knowledge; but his #mile was sweetly sad as he sid. ~\r‘p|)u] an opportunity to discuss the rumor. “We have trouble {n plenty, young man, | without undertaking to dissect dreams and | dope stories; so kindly forget such things." Where and Who te Tackle. | Judge Berka is busy planning flank and frontal attacks on the Omaha Water board. | Just where to get In is glving the counctl | strategfst somé thought. Whether to essay | an attempt on the dignity of R. Boecher | Howell ‘or to sashay against the “kid- | ding" proclivities of “Dave” O'Brien s a | problem the First ‘ward councliman will | put up to his staff members, Kugel and Hummel. Howell s known by the council- men to ba twenty-four hours waterlogged in his aplomb each day, while O'Brien has the King Boromhio brand of graceful humor on tap from the moment he awakes | in the morning until he empraces King Murphy(eus) after the last laugh goes up at night. And beyond afl other considerations is the thought, deop seated with councilmen, | that the water board will politely tell the | councll comittee to go to grass; that im- mediate action is contemplated; that the board knows when to be quick, even if it is mostly _dead; and that anyway, what's the use? “Well, we'll do the best we can,” Judge Berka, with his flashing “These things are always best hitched up by conciliation. No use taking a derrick to ralse Cain, and I have no axe. We will see the water board, all right, but whether wo see anything done is something even Counellman Humme] cannot say. What he | ®ives up, the rest of us better wait for. | We will: do our duty, since we have been appointed by the council with that com- mand attached.” ARMY TAKES PAUL’S TIP AND RULES OUT BLEACHED FLOUR | If it Makes Agricultare De"rlmelll to Ofte War Department Will Sure Cut it Out. clear “If mest moke my brother to offend I wlill eat no meat while the world standeth,” sald the Apostie Paul, who, after all started this anti-meat eating crusade. “If bleached flour make the Department of Agriculture to offend, we will buy no more bleuched flonr till the litigation endeth,’” says the Department of the Mis- sourl. For months no bleached flour has been bought at Fort Omaha or Fort Crook, and now the Department of the Missourl has issued a general erder forbidding Its pur- chase or use by any post in the depart- ment until the test case pending in the federal courts shall have been disposed of. FALL CAUSED SHEEHAN DEATH Accldent Witnessed by Motorman Fractured Skull of Union Pa- cific Engineer. That the death of Patrick J. Sheehan was accidental and ‘was the result of a fall at Tenth and Pacific streets, was the ver- dict of the coroner's jury that investigated the death of the late engineer of the Union Pacific, The finding followed the evidence of J. C. Jensen, 84 North Twenty-fifth street, motorman of a Farnam street car. He saw Sheehan fall about 9 o'clock at the place where he was afterwards picked up un- consclous.
