NEW LIGHTS ARE UNPOPULAR
Hoops of IncRndescents for Ak-sar-
Ben Bring Ont Chorus
of Knocks.

Equipment of the trolley poles In the
tarnam street block between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets with the new style
OF Ak-sar-Ben incandescent lighting pro-
posed, has produced chorus of knocks on
the innovation. The device consists simply
OF two small hoops supporting about a
dozen incandescents near the top of each
iron pole. 4.,-
THE old festoons and strings of lamps
were bad enough., said one man, but this
AFFAIR is about the cheapest and meanest
looking nuisance 1 have ever seen put on
the streets of metropolitan city. We are
inviting people from all the tributary ter
ritory to have a good time and incidentally
TO get their dollars. and we allege that we
are going to have gala dress and supply
An unlimited amount of innocent amuse-
ment. Well and good. but why should we
resort to this cheap illuminating apparatus
when the size. wealth and prosperity Of
Omaha and the thousands of visitors IL
will have warrant something much better?
understand the hoops put up are merely
experimental and hope they will prove SO
unpopular that they will have to be taken
down. Economy may be pleaded. but that
is specious In view of what Omaha obtains
annually from the Ak-Sar-B Ben carnival.
We have had enough cheap rot like this
to last us many seasons. Let's get in the
class where we, belong on such spectacIes,
spend little money on arches stucco
masts and the Ike and light Up the CITY
as never before"

TRAINoR VISITS INFIRMARY
County Commissioner While I'm Dem
yer Inspects County Hospital
for Information Here.

County Commissioner p. ]. Trainor has
returned from Denver. where he spent sew
eral days. AS chairman Of the county hos
pital committee he was interested in the
Denver county institution and took occa-
sion to visit It and the poor farm He gave
particular attention to Denver's method OF
caring for tuberculosis patients, as this is
a problem the county board here is trying
to solve. -.'-
Somewhat to his surprise he found no
provision in the county hospital there for
the Isolation of this class OF patients. al
though there is always a number Of them
in the hospital. They are kept at the hos
pital until they are strong enough to be
moved and then they are sent to the poor
farm where there is a small building set
apart for them. There is no special treats
ment prescribed for them here, however
The care of this class OF patients Is left
largely to private institutions. The hospital
Is about twice as large as the Douglas
county hospital and has $50 inmates. The
cost of running It is 80 cents per capita per
day. The poor farm consists of 800 acres
and Is maintained at an annual expense of
$4,000 over the income from the land There
are Us inmates and the per capita cost il
about 20 cents a day. Mr.. Trainor figures
that this is considerably more than It costs
to run the hospital and poor farm >here.
AT the Denver hospital there are fifty
female nurses and I'VE internes. At the
Douglas county institution there are nine
nurses and not more than two internes.

BAD MONEY FOR THE CHURCH
Lead Coin Passed in by One Brother
to Redeem His
Pledge.

Julian Olseen. treasurer of Trinity
Methodist church. walked briskly up
to the receiving teller's window in the
United States National bank Monday after
noon. Showing a shot bag half filled with
silver coin through the window, he said,
Some more money for the church." The
teller counted the money. and when his
practiced fingers reached a certain sickly-
looking and light weight silver dollar he
disdainfully handed 1t back to Mr.. olseen.
1t was largely composed OF lead. Mr..
olseen had to take a good coin from his
pocket to fill up the hole in the church
account, and as he gave It TO the teller
he remarked. "Id give 81 to know who
1t is keeps paying his pledge with bad
money"
Mr.. Olseen intended to keep IL quiet, but
one of his friends witnessed the episode
and told It to his co-workers at the grain
Office of w. c. Sunderland He was the
butt of all their jokes until he managed
to pass the coin on Joe McGrath, and now
Joe is trying to get rid of IT,

ISOLATION HOSPITAL CASE
Innrnary Not Fully Investigated of
Charges Preferred Against
IL 70 City Authorfties

Health Commissioner Connell has not ye'
completed his investigation Of charges
against the isolation hospital. He took the
mayor out Tuesday for look over the
premises. there being no cases Of smallpox
or other contagious diseases there at pres
emit.
1t is admitted now that the hospital was
never properly completed and that It lacks
many Of the appurtenances properly be-
longing to an institution OF the kind. Not
until short time ago was wire for screens
to windows and doors sent out to the hos
pital. 1t is the intention Of the mayor to
have any abuses or faults existing cor
rected, and in future to eliminate all
grounds for complaint.
Health Commissioner Connell insists that
conditions never have been nearly so bad
as represented by two women patients who
went to the hospital against their will.

of various qualities, and in loading it
upon the tEucks the vaTiOJfs qualities
are taken, say from as many as eight
different cases. so that each truck
load represents a blend OF many vary
ing grades After being sprinIIed on
the trucks. it is taken 10 the sweat
room. where It is kept al a tempera-
ture of 81 degrees and In humidity
OF 50 per cent for a period of from two
TO four weeks.
1t should be understood that the
process OF artificial fermentation has
n double result, each of which is vitality
important 10 the quality of tHe tobacco.
in the first place, as seen above, lt
serves to sweat out the rauHness, re-
moving the sap and gummy substances.
