CITY OF OMAHA.
Some Interesting Facts About This Met
ropolis Of Nebraska by Prof.
Don Morton.

Omaha, Nebraska, is rapidly
reaching the point when 1t will
take rank as the leading city west
of the Mississippi. 1t covers
about twenty-five square miles of
ground, and if picked up and
dropped down IN Fulton county,
would hide whole township. 1t
has 500 miles of streets, of which
over 100 miles are paved. The
population is 20O,OOO-about 20
times as many people living IN
this city as in all Fulton county.
The city is building very rap.
idly. Building permits have been
granted for putting up 81, 900, 900
worth of property IN 1909. There
are six colleges, deaf institute,
academy, five hospitals-oesldes
number Of smaller institutions.
1t is an important city for assay
ing, refining, and smelling ores,
Of zinc, lead, copper, silver and
gold. Especially Is Omaha noted
for It's packing houses of winch
Cudahay's main plant Is here,
Swift and Armour each has a
large plant. Omaha also boast of
having the largest wholesale I'm.
plements building in America,
that of John Deere Plow 20.
The General Offices OF two of
Americas largest railroads are
located here-the Burlington and
the Union Pacific. These Off 3es
alone give employment to 1900
men.

corning the industries of this city
but time will not permit and
newspaper space would all be
consumed before the manuscript.

ed here, and especially "LlttIe
Fulton" At present there are
five Fultonites here. These have
all recognized the place which
Omaha is making for herself.
No doubt some have been inter.
ested in the meeting of the Wool
Growers Association which was
held in Chicago two weeks ago.
Chicago was given the preeml-
nence as a wool center; Omaha
second, as place for storing and
shipping the vast amount of wool
received from the Middle west.

HAS CAUSED FOUR DEATHS
Severe Type OF Influenza Has Been Pre-.
vailing in Lower Part OF Coun.
ty For Several Weeks.
STATE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATES.

A representative of the State
Department of Health recently
spent the entire day with the
physicians in Buck Valley and
the adjoining Coves, Investigating
severe type of influenza which
has been prevalent IN this com
munity since early In November
and which has already caused
four deaths.
The symptoms of this disease
are as follows: The onset in
nearly all instances is sudden
and begins with severe backache,
pain IN the muscles of the neck,
back and extremlties, sick stom-
ach, abdominal pain, great weak.
ness and prostration, and IN a
number of cases was followed in
a day or two by a mild form of
jaundice. In the cases dying, a
rather severe type of jaundlce
preceded death.
The disease has proven to be
distinctly contagious IN charac.
ter. In the village of Buck Val,
ley, children from the school
were permitted to view the re.
mains of two children who died
from the,dlsease and four of these
children sickened with a similar
illness, not ending fatally, how
ever, eight or nine days after
this exposure.
The people in this community
had already learned of it's conta
gious character. The school dl.
rectors had properly closed and
dlslnfected the school room, keep
ing the school closed for seven
days. The general alarm prevail.
ent IN this com munlty was set
somewhat at rest by this lnspec.
ton. The entire com munity has
been advised that, because of the
unusual severity of this influenza
and of Its beng so easily trans
mltted from the sick to the well,
visiting with the sick should be
discontinued; that those who are
Ill with the disease should be
carefully isolated the same as Is
done with the more common com
munlcable diseases; and, If others
die, that the funeral should be
made as nearly private as pos
sible.
The Department of Health ad.
vises that, for the present, large
gatherings be prevented as much
as possible; and, that children and
all young people should avoid com
ing IN contact with those who
are now sick with the disease, or
with those who have recently suf
fered from 1t. Free ventilation
of all sleeplng rooms and living
rooms is advised; and it is further
recon mended that on the first
appearance of symptoms similar
to those detailed, that the patient
be carefully isolated, and that the
family physician be called.
At least 100 young persons
have suffered from this disease,
and four have lost their lives from
it. Older people seem to be less
susceptible to it, and many moth
ers have nursed their sick chll.
dren without contracting 1t.
1t Is hoped that by observing
these precautions the disease will
soon be stamped out. The ply.
siclans In the community are co.
operating In every way with the
Department of Health to accom-
plish this end.
