owners Of the iuterurban electric railway

TO IMPROVE MAIL SERVICE
Best Wagons fer the Purpose Will BE
Put ON Here ~
JuIy \.

John A. Chapman, special agent Of the
Postofice department, is in the city for the
purpose of making arrangements for a
temporary contract for carrying the mails
between the Omaha postofice and the de-
pots, the contract to last until July L.
Until July l." said Mr.. Chapman,
Omaha will have to get along the best Il
can in this respect, but after that time
the best service of wagons IN the west will
be put on in this city. The department has
decided that open wagons and broken
dow horses must go. Heretofore the con-
tracts have been let to the lowest bidder.
regardless OF his residence. Now all bid
ders must live on the line to be carried
and the result is that we are getting a
better class of carriers. Formerly the con-
tract was let to a resident of some eastern
state, who sublet It to a local party for
something less than the amount he received
from the government. The result was that
the people who actually handled the mails
we're generally irresponsible persons and
their vehicles we're a disgrace to the serv-
ice.
THE new system will cost us more
money. but IL will be better In eyerS way.
Before any vehicle or any horse Is allowed
to be engaged in the work II must be in
spected and approved by a representative
Of the department. All persons who are
to act as drivers or agents Of the con-
tractors must submit to an examination to
demonstrate their ability for the work.
This will not only assure a better class OF
employees, but will take a great deal of the
responsibility from the postmaster. who
will know that the work is in the hands Of
responsible parties" ~,

NEED MEDICAL INSPECTORS
Incoming Trains Serve to Bring
Smallpox Patients from Coun-
try to omaha.

81 am satisfied that the various railroads
running into Omaha are cooperating with
me in my efforts to prevent the spread of
smallpox said Mayor Moores yester-
day, but it Is rather too much to hold a
railroad conductor. responsible for the
physical condition Of his passengers, and
II smallpox patients continue coming in
from outside points at the rate they have
during the last month we shall have to put
inspectors on the trains to intercept in
fected passengers.
Il have no doubt that physicians and au-
thorities Of small country towns of Iowa
and Nebraska make a practice of shipping
their smallpox patients to Omaha. A num-
Der Of such cases have come to my notice.
In many instances the disease has not mani
tested itself to such an extent that anyone
outside of the medical profession could tell
that the patient was suffering from small
pox. and. OF course, in cases of this kind
we couldn't expect railroad train crews to
act. 1t begins TO look as though medical
inspectors for the various incoming trains
is the only solution Of the problem"

Get to Work.

Military drill will be resumed at the
High school next Wednesday, after an in
Permission of more than two weeks. Dur
ing the week of vacation no drills were
held and last week they were also omitted
because OF confusion in beginning school
again in the new quarters.
Wednesday, however, the military work
will be resumed, the First battalion fall

Companies G, d and E and 1t drills on Mon
days and Wednesdays. The First battalion.
Companies A, B and r., drills on Tuesdays
n Thursdays. Because Of the limited
supply of arms and equipment the entire
regiment can never drill at the same time.
During the winter the cadets are not
taken out of doors, but are drilled In the
halls Of the old building. This space is
limited n marching formations are neces-
earily restricted to a few. but excellent
work can be done with the manual of arms
and the sitting up exercises. Commandant
Pearse expects that by spring and open
weather The boys will be SO thoroughly
trained in these W departments OF the
work that they will rapidly attain excel
ience in company and battalion formations.

QUARANTINE DECLARED OFF
Winnsbac Indian Reservation Again
ThrowH 0psp TO Outsiders.
coNTAeIoN HAS RAN ITS FULL COURSE
United states Omcers VIII Now bring
In Prisoners and Witnesses for
r Prosecution of Liquor
Selling Cases.

The quarantine upon the wlnnebago In
dian reservation in Thurston county was
raised yesterday morning and today the
united States marshals will begin to serve
papers and prepare for the special term Of
the United States court to be held in
omaha next. month.
The quarantine was placed on the res
eryation In October and has been enforced
strictly since that time. II was the cause
of considerable friction between the resi-
dents Of Homer, Fender and other towns
along the line Of the reservation and the
United States authorities. The merchants
of Homer and other towns in Dixon county
sent a protest to the sec stary of the in
terror and the commissioner OF Indian affairs
requesting them to order the quarantine
lifted, saying that Il was damaging their
business 20 such an extent as to be intol-
cradle. The federal officers refused to in.
terfere with the action of the agent and in
the early days Of the quarantine many eff
forts were made to evade 1t. The result
was that smallpox was scattered over a
large part Of the surrounding country and
then the people began to respect the order
OF the United States.
1t is said that the disease was never
under control on the reservation, but that
~ mas ceased AFTER running through tne
tribe, less that 20 percent of those not
heretofore considered immune having con-
tracted the disease since last fall.
While the quarantine was in force the
federal officers paid little attention to the
enforcement Of the law regarding the sale
of liquor to Indians and there was consid-
cradle violation on the part of those who
we're willing to take chances. The agent
and deputy marshals have had a number Of
cases called to their attention and will
start the work Of rounding up the violators
who for nearly FIVE months have been
.uorkina uithout fear of mnlastatinn-
