Two Families in Need,
There are at least two families in South
Omaha at the present time who are in des-
perate circumstances one of the families
is that of Mrs. Lucy Curtis, living on West
F street. She has been receiving some aid
from the county, but for some reason her
pittance was stopped in the matter of the
coal. During the last severe cold she was
Obliged to borrow. The second is the case
of Mrs Conrad and her sick daughter, who
live in the hollow between II and J streets
and between Twenty-fifth and Twenty
sixth streets. Mrs. Conrad has been almost
helpless from an accident some years ago.
She at one time sued the city for the in
jury, but did not succeed in getting any
thing that would support her. OF the 500
it is said the attorneys fees consumed the
greater amount. At present her daughter
is sick i'm bed and it is likely that an in
vestigation would show that lack of suit
able food and clothing has much to do
with her Illness. Some private parties
have done little toward relief.
Rendered Unconscious by Fall.
Lou Foley, a son of Kenny Foley, Sew
enteenth and X streets, was rendered UNI
conscious by a fall yesterday afternoon.
He had been out coasting with number
of his boy friends and while trying to
slide down steep place OH his shoes fell
and his head struck on stake which had
been driven by a surveyor At first it was
thought the boy seriously hurt and he
was carried to his home by the boys who
were with him. Here he was attended by
DR.. Kelly. In the course OF about two
hours he regained consciousness BY even
ing he was much improved and may be
able to be out this morning.
Election booths Rented.
The mayor has perfected the contracts
with the owners of the voting booths for
the use of their buildings or rooms Cor
the coming primary election and the last
revision of registration and lastly for
the general election. The total cost viii
be S23 for each booth. The primary s=d
the election are each so and the revl-
sion 50. The voting machines are being
stored i'm the city hall building It is
thought the cost of handling the machines
and moving them will be considerably less
this election than formerly. Complete
lists of the poll books they now stand
are being prepared by the city clerk. These
are to he made ready for the use of the
board of revision, which is to meet again
March 81. copy of the same is to
go to the chairman of the central COM
mittee of each party. With this most
of the work required for the present in
connection with the elections is finished
Friday the clerk posted notices of the
primaries and made mention of all offices
to be filed and also named the polling
places in order.
