AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
News Of a Day Cleaned Among the DeniSen
Of the Magic City,
FEW CALLS FOR CHARITY THIS WINTER
People. rs n Rule, Have Plenty and
DO Not Appeal to the city Au-
thorities for Relief i'm
Distress.

Up to the present time very few INDECENT
persons have applied to the city officials
for food or clothing, Mayor Ensor said
yesterday that so far this winter he had
issued only one or two orders a week for
groceries or fuel, where formerly he was
called upon to issue from fifteen to twenty
orders a week. The charity committee of
the council has had little to do as yet, eN-
cept to issue orders for coal to a few OF
the very poor. Those who are now receiving
aid from the city are known as regular PEN
sioners. Very few newcomers are applying
for help at this time. and this condition OF
affairs certainly speaks we'll for the con-
dition OF the city. These employed in the
packing houses are working on broken time
just at present, on account Of light receipts
Of live stock. but the fact that so few are
asking for help shows that the money
earned during busy times has not been
wasted. Very few idle men are to be found
on the streets, and not nearly as many men
apply for lodgings at the city Jail as for
merly. The building of the Armour ware
house is furnishing employment to quite a
large number of men, thus reducing the
number Of oilers considerably.
Local charitable societies are not being
called upon as much this winter as last,
which is considered an indication that times
in South Omaha are much better than one
year ago.

Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-29


At the urgent request of w. A. King, chief
statistician Of the department Of vital sta
tistics of the United States census office,
measures will be adopted by City Clerk Car
penter to insure the keeping of a complete
and correct record of all deaths in South
Omaha during the year 1900. The year 1900
is the period to be covered by the census
mortality statistics and the census officials
are particularly anxious that a complete and
uniform record be kept in order that the
results may be included in the report of
the twelfth census.
What the government particularly desires
is uniformity in the tabulatlng of the death
record and to this end a number of blank
forms, the same as will be used in the
larger cities, have been sent to Clerk Car
penter to serve as samples.
In connection with the compilation of this
data StatistiCian King writes Mr.. Carpenter
as follows: The collection of deaths dur
ing the year 1900 upon the form OF %certiti-
cate sent you will make it possible for me
to add your city to the list of progressive
registration cities, and also to have it's NOR
tally data appear in all of the twelfth CEN
sus tables and compilations. This considera-
ton, together with the benefits that will
accrue to your city from a better knowledge
OF its healthful conditions, gained in this
way, should cause you to take immediate
and favorable action"
For the purpose of complying with the
request of the census department City Clerk
Carpenter will have some new forms for the
recording Of deaths printed and will urge
upon the physicians and undertakers the
necessity for filling in all the blanks, thus
making a complete record, which when fin
ished at the end of the year 1900 will be
transcribed and sent to the vital statistics
department of the ceusuS bureau.
The form to be used in recording deaths
is very complete and calls for a vast amount
Of Information First, of course, comes the
name, then color, sex and c~onjugal condi-
ton. The date of death, date of birth and
age follows. Space is provided for the filing
in of the occupation and place Of birth Of
the deceased and also the birthplace of
father and mother. The cause of death,
place of d>ath and late residence will also
taker, place of interment, name Of attend
ing physician and number of the burial
permit.
Up to the time Mr.. Carpenter took charge
of the city clerks office, nearly four years
ago, very little attention had been paid by
city clerks to the keeping of an accurate
record of births and deaths. Clerk Carpen-
ter prepared books for the purpose Of keep
ing a record, and also insisted that physi-
clans comply with the law in regard to re-
porting all deaths upon postal cards fur
nished by the city.
The doctors fell in with the idea readily,
and very little trouble has been experienced
in connection with the keeping Of these
records for the past few years. All the un
dertakers have agreed to use the new form
Of report as suggested by the census de-
partment and the physicians will be APP
! pealcd to in "A day or two so that the re-
cording of deaths according to the improved
method may on January /.

Few Days Brew
of Deadly
Uric Acid.

In a few days you brew enough uric acid
in your own body to produce death,
Your kidneys are your only salvation.
Because when they are we'll, they filter
out this deadly poison.
So, when your kidneys are sick, you can
understand how quickly your entire body
is affected, and how every organ seems to
fail to do its duty.
They are all being slowly poisoned,
Uric acid poison i]rritates the nerves and
causes rheumatic pains in joints, muscles
and limbs, headache, backache. stomach
and liver trouble, shortness of breath, heart
trouble, dizziness, nervousness, irritabllity.
lassitude, loss OF ambition, weakness and
wasting away.
Red brick dust and similar sediments in
the urine are also caused by various salts
of uric acid.
The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy.
1t instantly relieves the congested, over
worked kidneys, and gradually brings them
back to health.
Healthy kidneys keep down the excess
OF uric acid, and you soon feel the benefit
I'm new health and strength.
Swamp-Root should at once be taken upon
the least sign of IN health. II will make
you we'll and is for sale the world over in
bottles of two sizes and two prices, nifty

tails; recommended by skillful physicians in

ments. because they recognize in it the
greatest and most successful remedy for
kidney and bladder troubles.

Live Stock exchange has been called for
Friday afternoon to consider a number of
subjects. Delegates to the meeting OF the

doubtless be among the matters to be con-
sidered at this special meeting,

'all honorable means to fight the advance

lobbying before the meeting opened today
secured the promise of nearly $500 to fight
the railroads.
