er's association, which was held in The Bee
building, this city, September 13 and 10,

just been received by the local members
OF the organization. The book is excep-
~tionally well arranged and its typograph-
ical appearance is highly creditable. Its
pages are embellished by excellent portraits
OF members and others who were connected
with the omaha reunion and it makes a
souvenir of that most enjoyable occasion
that is highly priced by all who contrib
uted to its success.
The first inside page contains an accurate
reproduction OF the magnificent birds eye
view OF the exposition, which was drawn
for the exposition management by E. J.
Austen and this is followed by a list Of
the officers for 1898. a well-written mono
graph on EARLY Friendships" by Edward
C. Cockey, forms an appropriate preface
and this is followed by a complete review
Of the proceedings Of the session. The con-
stitution and bylaws of the association are
also reproduced, together with the roster
Of membership and that of the United States
Military Telegraph corps. The volume ends
with the list of officers for 1899.
The portraits that occur at frequent in
tervals throughout the book include those
of Colonel John j. Dickey. l.. H. Korty, Ed
ward R%osewater, w. w. Umsted and other
Omaha members OF the organization, as we'll
as the portraits of John A. Creighton,
Mayor Frank L. Moores, w. Salisbury and

DISREGARD THE PROTESTS
Smallpox Hospital Goes Into FOnta-
nellie Park and to BE Com
structed mt Once.

Plans for the smallpox hospital that is
to be located in Fontanelle park have been
completed. The building will be plain and
at first of a temporary character. 1t will
be 24x6O feet in size, one story in height
and will contain ten rooms. Lumber for
the structure has been carted to the park
and the building will be commenced as soon
as the weather will permit. After the start
is made the hospital will be completed in
a few days, SO Building Inspector Butler
says.
The authorities are determined to locate
the hospital in Fontanelle park despite the
protests of neighboring residents. Regard
ing this Mayor Moores says: II fully ap-
p~reciate the objections Of the people who
live about the park. but, sifted down, they
are more of q financial character than the
result Of any fear of the disease. They
think the value of their property will be
deprecated. Such considerations cannot
be regarded when the health OF the
city or the care Of a victim of
smallpox Is in the balance. In such an
emergency the city must take steps to pro-
tect the health OF the city and to care for
its sick, without regard to minor considera-
tons. In the present situation We must have
a smallpox hospital. We could not select
any site in the city that would not be OBJ
jectionable, and we must therefore get the
one that is least so. After thoroughly con-
sidering a number of sites, we selected Fon-
tanelle park as the one that will do the least
injury and there the hospital will be To-
Gated, although it may never be used"
No new cases of smallpox have been re-
ported at the office Of the Board Of Health
and all the patients are in a favorable con-
dition.

SCOTT GRANTS MANDAMUS
Court Settles the County Printing
Contract, O~verturninK the De-
cisiOn of the County Board.

Judge Scott sat In chambers to hear the
application of the Festner Printing COM
pany for a mandamus to compel the Board
OF County commissioners to execute a con-
tract with the company for the county print
Ing for 1899. Thu arguments related merely
to the facts previously stated, County At
torney Shields %contending that the board
reserved the right to reject any and all
bids and that the bid Of the Festner COM
pany was not complete. The court granted
the writ after an extended monologue, a
considerable part Of which pretained to the
protest from Pressmen's union No. 80, which
had been introduced in evidence. He con-
tended at length that the board had no right
to consider union or non-union labor in
granting contracts. He declared that the
right to reject all bids was not an absolute
right and that the board should have &C.
cepted the lowest bid at once after 1t was
received.

The Sacred Heart parish is coming TO be

The pastor OF the church. Rev. p. ]. Judge,

Of Captain William Boarman. one

eral eminent secular clergymen, a half dozen
Jesuit priests and a large number OF relig-
ious women. On his mothers side Father
Boarman is a near and blood relation OF
General r. f. Lee. He is widely known as
a jealous and successful missionary. His

persuasive. Father Eugene Aloysius Ma
geveney was born In Memphis. Tenn, OF
Irish parentage. After completing a bril-
liant course Of studies In the University OF
St. Louis. he entered the Society of Jesus
while yet very young. In the society itself

HOUSE LO0TING MUST STOP
Owners and Rental Agents Organize
that They May Punish
the yandals.

Since the binding over to the district
court of Charles Ellis and Peter Green for
breaking into the dwelling house owned by
X. G. Pierce. the real estate men have
recognized the necessity Of organization
against depredators of this character.
THE Nebraska law under which thieves
are liable for forcing their way into vacant
dwellings is not as specific as 1t might be,
and the agents intend to see that the in
terests of the owners are protected by their
own vigilance. Numerous houses have been
entered and the plumbing torn out Just as
It was in Mr.. Pierce's house and 1t is a hard
matter TO get at the men who do the work.
The pipe, brass and copper, are sold to the
junk dealers, who usually keep no record
OF such a purchase, so it Is hard to get a
trace of thieves. An organization for the
prosecution Of thieves and the protection
OF all vacant houses, they think, would go
far toward lessening the large number Of
depredations and such an organization is
in process of formation.

Political Axe.
OLD EMPLOYEES TURNED OUT IN THE COLD
of the Majority Make Good
Their Promises and Appoint
Men Of Their Kind to
Fill the Positions.

The axe that has been suspended over the
heads of the county employees since the
political complexion OF the Board Of County
Commissioners was reversed dropped at the
regular meeting yesterday and a number
of the men who have. been on the pay rolls
wero summarily divorced from their Jobs in
favor of aspirants whose politics more closely
those Of the present majority. The
board agreed on the appointment of an as
sistant county physician, superintendent and
matron Of the poor farm and two ~janitors.
The other appointments were referred under
the rules on account Of the objection of the
republican members to their immediate con-
frmation.
The poor farm job went to William Ohm
stead over Ostrom's minority vote, and Mrs.
Olmstead was elected matron by a unani-
nous vote. Ostrom explained that since
Olmstead had been made superintendent he
thought 1t was proper that his wife should
be the matron, and joined the majority on
this issue. They will assume control

gineer at the poor farm at sS5 a month, to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The signal office,

now in operation by the signal corps in
Porto Rico and Cuba. These offices trans
act government business free Of charge.
Commercial business is handled at a uniform
local rate Of 2 cents a word, address and
signature included. but a message OF less
than ten words is rated and charged as a
ten word message. Messages from the
United States are generally routed as fol-
lows: For the province Of Havana, Matan-

Havana; for the province OF Puerto Prin-
cipe, through Santa Cruz, through Havana
and Cuba submarine cable; for the province
OF Santiago. through Santiago de Cuba,
either via Havana and the submarine cable
or via New York and the French Tele-
graph company's cable.
All telegraphic offices in Porto Rico are
connected with both Ponce and San Juan de
Porto Rico. These distributing points are
reached either via Havana or New York.
The system as now in operation In Cuba
is principally located in the western and
eastern portions OF the island, the central
provinces being less literally provided for.
Many additional lines are now In course OF
construction.

DANGEROUS METHODS

Use n Safe, Reliable Medicine

Few people realize, in treating themselves
OF Catarrh with the douche. snuffs, etc, the
dangerous methods they employ. Catarrh
cannot be cured by such treatment and 10
more times made worse in point OF the fact
that the lotion or wash does not touch the
affected parts and actually destroyed the ad-
jacent healthy tissues. To reach Catarrh an
internal remedy should be used, acting upon
the mucous membranes through the system.
There Is no remedy which acts SO promptly
and gives such immediate relief as Gauss

and cure because they act directly upon the
