NEW ORLEANS BURNS SULPHUR.
Sisty-0ne Cases Reported from One Plantation Situation in State
 Grows Worse.

New Orleans, Aug. 2o.- Off, cial report of today's i4rer rec ord to $ p. m. New cases, 45; deaths, 1.
 Hundreds 9f t45asands of nos Quitoes net d sudden death in New Orleans today. Itwas gen eral fumiga-i0n day and for two hours the fumes of burning saj- phur arose in every street in the city.
 Dr. Warner. the minister who is charge of this work, estimated that almost twenty car loads oi sulphur were burned in the homes of the city. A hundred thousand pounds were given away by the committee to- the people who were too poor to bay it.
 The situation in the city con- tinues to show improvement, al- though all the new foci which were reported today were in the uptown district. The next week will show the turning point in one direction or another, if the experiences of previous epidem- ics can be relied on.

TAf FEDERAL BUILDING.
Description Of the Handsome Structure Which is Now Nearing Compile
 tion at BdteSville.

The handsome federal building on Main street just above the business part of the city js rapid ly nearing completion, says the Batesville Guard. It is probable that by the 1st the postoffice will occupy it's splendid new quarters and that the end of the month will see the entire building con- pleted.
 The building is 96 feet long by 5 feet wide and three stories high, with basement. It is the most expensive building in the city, having cost $54, 681. The basement and part Of the walls of the first story are built of the Batesville marble from the Pfeif- fer quarIes, being the same stone as that used in the construction of the state capitol.
 The supersructufe is built of a superior quality of common brick made at Gardon, trimmed with BatesviIIe marble. All the windows are of plate glass. The plumbing includes pipes for gas and wires for electric lighting and telephones, the wires being laid in hollow tubes so they may be repaired without defacing the walls.
 The first floor will be devoted entirely to the postofice and no office in the state will have hand somer quarters. The main room is 35 by 5 feet and the postmas- ter's office is IT by 20 feet, while the money order division will occupy quarters 19 by 29 feet. The postoffice equipment is ample and of the most modern design. From the street one enters a handsome corridor with terrazzo floor and marble base. The cor riders, court room and judges room are finished in oak, the bal ance of the building in yellow pine.
 The second floor, reached by a handsome stairway, contains the federal court room, two hand some rooms for the judge, two for the district attorney, two for the clerk and one for the mar shal. The court room is 27 by s feet, with ceiling 20 feet high. The third floor has seven rooms, two of which are to be assigned to the use of the juries. The other five are as yet unassigned. The walls of the building are fin ished in white plaster as hard as stone itself. The construction and finish of the whole building, indeed, is of the very best mate rial and workmanship. The base ment contains a modern heating apparatus and toilet rooms for the employees, and throughout the building there are vaults for the safe keeping of valuable pa- pers. The heating plant is equip ped with two boilers.
 The cost of the building, as above stated, is S54,681. The cost of the lot was $8, 800; the heating plant, S3, ,62O; furniture, $3, SIS; mail boxes, S1, ,222, mak- ing the total cost S71, ,841. There are other items of cost to be ad- ded to this sum, but after all these are paid there will be a small surplus left of the original appropriation of $80, 900 made for l this building.

VOTING MACHINES FOR OMAHA
Manufacturers Agent Writes TO Bee
to Explain some Things in Com
nectiOn with Contract.

letter has been received by The Bee
from A. c. Powers, state agent for the
United States Standard Voting machine,
written at Lincoln, explaining how the ma
chimes were offered to Lancaster county for
$500 whereas $3.50 was charged in the recent
equipment of Douglas county. The $50 diff
ference is due 20 a difference in the sizes
OF the machines, those sold 10 Douglas
county providing for forty candidates for
any one party and those submitted to Ian
caster county for 5000 only thirty candidates.
Assurance is given also that the machines
will be shipped to Omaha ia time for dem
onstration at every polling place primary
day, September 10. Mr.. Powers says:
When the company's proposition was
made last year II named two prices 10
Omaha and Douglas county, tO-wit: For
$500 each; for forty candidates to each polit-
ical party, $3.50 each
II was found, and the Joint committee so
recommended, that a machine that would
provide forty candidates for each party was
needed in Douglas county, the highest num-
one year upon the ofhoial ballot OF a single
party being thirty-three. In Lancaster
county the maximum has been twenty

FINK PROTESTS On CUTTING
County Treasurer Says Reducing Prices at
soavsnger Tax Sale is Bad,
SAYS CITY HAS NO SPECIAL RIGHTS
Objects 10 FleminE's Plan of Huckter-
ing Certificates, Insisting
City and County Are,
COequaIs.

County Treasurer Fink appeared before
the members of the city council in COM
mittee Monday afternoon to protest against
the action of the city attorneys office in
securing an order from Judge 1'roup re-
ducing tho prices at which a number OF
pieces Of property were bid in at sea Senger
tax sale. The city's representative bid in
these lots at figures ranging from $50 to
$50, in round figures. The order issued by
Judge Troup on request of Assistant City
Attorney Herdman cut the prices down to
as low as 81, and from that up to $3.50.
The county treasurer takes the position
that II this can be done on the part Of the
city 1t car also be done on behalf OF private
purchasers This he will not for a mo-
ment admit, and he wants the city authori-
ties to understand just where he stands
and what he proposes to fight for. Mr.
Fink contends that both the city and
county legal depal tments have held all
along since the scavenger law has been in
operation that the city and county stand
in exactly the same position as the private
purchaser under the scavenger law. II he
can the county treasurer wants to main
tain a consistent rule until the finish Of
the scavenger sales.
Takes Issue with Fleming.
County Treasurer Fink also takes decided
issue with Tax Commissioner Flemlng's
plan for handling certificates by means OF
private barter. He says:
Under the law assignments of these GER
tifcates can be made only by Endorsement
of the county treasurer in his official capac-
ity. No other person whatever has any
right to authorize assignments. and l do
not propose to give my Endorsement in any
form to Fleming's proposed huckstering of
these certificates. The interest of the city
is the interest of the county In this mat
ter. They are coequal in every respect.
This office, in protecting the interest of
the county has all through made Il a point
to protect the interest of the city at every
turn. We have done this in every in
stance and will continue to do so. Neither
Mr.. Fleming or any other person can
usurp the duties of the county treasurer. "

RETURNS FROM MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Confirmed in View that streets Can
BE Better Cleaned with Flush
inE Wagon Than
Hose.

Omaha would have stood a fair show OF
getting the League OF American Munich
palities convention for 1906 II Chicago had
not entered the race, according TO City En-
gineer Rosewater who was this cty's sole
representative at the meeting Mt Toledo
last week. Mr.. Rosewater made a speech
outlining the advantages OF this city, Ho
had secured the promise Of Chicago's sup
port IL that city decided not to try for the
convention, but the commercial organiza-
dons Of the Windy City arrived intent on
carrying the day.
On the first ballot for 1906 convention
place Omaha stood fourth on list in
cluding a large number OF important
cities
About 500 delegates from the larger
cities attended the meeting which Mr..
Rosewater thinks was a decided success.
He had one OF the big papers read before
the convention. II was on asphalt pave
ments and has been printed in The Bee.
1t was discussed by former Mayor Head OF
Nashville, Tenn, who is now an attorney
for the Bltulithic company. Mr.. Head at
tempted to attack asphalt in favor Of
bitulithic and the city engineer took the
opposite side.
Conclusions Confirmed.
MY conclusions that Omaha is spending
about two and one-half times what II
should by cleaning the streets by flushing
with hose were confirmed" said the cngi-
neer. Il find the flushing wagons which
! I advocated are in successful and economi-
cal use In a great many cities. Progress
sive municipalities have discarded the hy-
drant flushing and are using the wagons or
machines, as they are called. l was
! told by a representative of the firm
that makes the wagons that he visited
| Omaha and was told by a high city official
| that nothing that would eliminate the Use
! OF men on the street would be permitted
| here.
ANY assertions that our sewers are not
| constructed so as to permit the use OF
| flushing gons is rot. Are we to under
| stand that sewers are needed when
| cleaning is done by stream from a hose,
that ruins the pavement and is very costly,
without taking the destruction into con-
| sideration7
| The sewers are all right. 1t is the
game OF politics that is keeping them out
