FLORENCE QUARANTINE OFF
City Oounoil Raises Embargo on Decision
Smallpox Does Not Exist.
EXPERTS SAY DISEASE IS CHcEtNPO)
Last Round in the Controversy Re-
tween the Physicians = DIR.
spalding Reports TO
state Board.

The city council of Florence, acting as
jury, after hearing the testimony Of the
plaintin-phy sicians contending that small
pox exists in that city-and the defendant
physicians cortending that smallpox does
not exist there-at a meeting held Thursday
night, as readers Of The Bee know, raised
the quarantine placed in the three homes
where the contagion was supposed to exist
and announced to the world that Florence
was free from this dread infection. Reso-
lutions, properly setting forth the facts
and conditions were adopted.
This is the latest round in the contro-
versial combat between the contending
physicians. The people of Florence are
willing to admit they may have a few
chickenpox cases within their midst, but
vehemently deny there is any smallpox.
II have already reported the cases to the
State Board of Health as smallpox" said
DR.. s. K. spaldlng deputy state medical
inspector, Friday; II do not know what the
board will do 1t has no money with which
to prosecute. This is the end OF the fiscal
year and It's appropriations are all con-
sumed. So far as 1 am personally con-
cerned, have discharged my duty"
Action of Council.
These are the resolutions adopted by
the council;
At a special meeting of the mayor and
council of Florence, held last evening, the
following resolutions was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, BY an unfortunate mistake it
has been reported that certain cases OF
smallpox exist in Florence, and,
Whereas. Such report was and is false,
yet has been widely circulated and pub
nshed In the daily papers of the city of
Omaha, greatly to the detriment OF our
city and its citizens, and.
ports our schools have been closed for
nearly a week and certain of our citizens
subjected to quarantine; and,
Whereas, Our mayor and Board OF
nitely determined the nature of the ailment
of certain children of three families in
Florence, heretofore reported as having
smallpox, have employed three experts.
namely. Drs. R Towne, ]. b. Quinby
and ]. B.. Ralph of Omaha, to examine
and diagnose all OF said cases of alleged
smallpox and report their findings; and,
Whereas, Said expert physicians, to-
gether with DR.. w. o. Akers of Florence,
have this day made such examination and
Board of Health their certificate, as fol-
lows:
FLORENCE, Neh, Feb. 2s. 19O7.-To
the Mayor and Board of Health of the
City of Florence: Gentlemen-At your re-
quest We, the undersigned physicians Of
the members of the Mowry, Rich and
Clausen families in Florence, reported to
be afflicted with smallpox, and we do
unanimously agree In our diagnosis OF each
Of said patients and cases in this that
they are or have been afflicted with chick
enpox only, and that none of said pa
tents consisting of children only have

TWO PLANS FOR COUNTY JAIL
One Set cOntemplstss West Wing and
Other Remodeling Second Floor.
LATENSER SUBMITS BOTH TO THE BOARD
Former scheme Involves Cost OF
Twelve to Fifteen and Latter
Five to Eight ThOus-
and Dollars.

At the request of two county commits
] sioners, John Latenser. the architect, has
drawn two tentative plans for the improve
| ment of the county JAIL one for a pro-
posed additional two-story and basement
extension to the west of the present struc-
ture at a cost OF between $1,000 and $4,000,
and another for remodeling the second
floor of the present building, formerly oc-
| cupied by the jailor, to cost between 5000
and $780,
| The plans have been submitted by Mrs
/ Latenser to the county commissioners, but
official action will not be taken until after
| further consideration and more compre-
| hensive ideas of the two plans Is gained.
Some Of the county commissioners are in
| favor of the new wing being added to the
old building on the west, which will ex-
| tend the structure nearly TO the west side
walk on Eighteenth street while other
: commissioners are in favor of the rehabilit-
alton of the old jail, believing that, with
the space heretofore used by the jailer
utilized in the way of cells, the present
crowded condition OF the cells will be
obviated to a great degree.
What Plans Contemplate.
The plans, as drawn by the architect for
for several separation rooms on the first
floor, to be used In segregating and class
flying new prisoners; four modern cells on
the second floor and a kitchen in the base
ment The kitchen would be connected
with food chutes or dumb walters in the
old jail by tunnel. Such an Improvement
would cost at least $4,000, according to
the estimates submitted by Mr.. Latenser
and probably as much as $4,000 II the old
portion of the jail was improved to any
extent.
II the plans presented for the changes
to the second floor of the Jail are adopted,
the cost will be several thousand dollars
less, but would decrease the capacity COM
mensurately. The latter plans are for the
construction of a padded cell and cells for
juveniles and women in the space formerly
occupied by the jailer. 1t is also proposed
in these plans to enlarge the office of the
sheriff and buildt a jail kitchen separate
from the main building.
1t is believed padded cell is absolutely
necessary in any event. without regard to
which improvements are ultimately decided
upon, II any, as there Is no cell of this
character in Douglas county, and its util-
ity is Of unquestioned value for the proper
care OF insane prisoners.
