berger in his movement against the Board
Of Fire and Police Commissioners In
Omaha Is thought to be the spur behind
the action OF the South Omaha Board OF
Fire and Police Commissioners, which has

lice department to double its efforts to pre-
vent Illegal sales Of liquor. The democratic
members OF the board never before took
such a decided stand, and never before is

/ of these members had been lenient toward
all points in the liquor traffic Recently,
when by the personal activity of Chief
Briggs, several men were detected in the
illegal sale of LIQUOR, a postponement of
the hearing was granted to the defendants,
and later when Chief Briggs was in the

cases. This was done with the knowledge
of the ruling majority of the board.
Chief Briggs said after the meeting he
was glad that the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners had given open public In
structions for It made his position much
easier.
The following is the full text of the res

any sign Of disease. 1t is still too early
to base any positive statement of results
and none will be issued until the expert

being attracted to the experiment daily and
the stockmen are keeping In touch with
the government officials. Letters of in
quiry have been received concerning the

sanction of the government will be suffi-
cient to make this method OF treating
cholera popular
