ell that the assistant veterinarian would
be forced to resign were his request for an
assistant not granted. The new function
airy shall have a salary of $50 O month
The only hitch that arose In considera-
ton Of the request was the question.
whether II involved the creation of new
office, in which case an ordinance would
be required. The council in the end de-
cided that an assistant to an assistant
properly was merely an employee and not
an official, and that therefor, the council
could act without framing an ordinance

when the council, upon a resolution from
Councilman Berka, ordered him to gather
data from forty cities to be used in con-
sideration Of the petition from the Omaha

empowered to proceed in arranging to pay
the Omaha Electric Light and Power COM
pany, for the maintenance of four lights,

are located at Seventh and Marcy, Sew

western institution of learning" declared
President Stookey on his return from a
journey to the eastern states. 1T was as
sured time and again of the confidence that
the east feels in the country which centers
about our western metropolis. They have,
too, an appreciation of the great oppor-
tunity for the college in this field and are
willing to cooperate in helping the devel-
opment of the school
But at the same time feel most sin
cerely," said DR.. Stookey, that the local
interest and initiative will be the measure
of such cooperation and practical help"
DR.. Stookey's journey was not without
material fruits, either.
THE trustees were happy to receive a
substantial addition to the current funds
Of the college," he added, although this
is not the time Of year to canvass for
funds
The college needs about SOS 600 more

where MiiIlons az Entombed.

The cataoombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the eataeombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tan the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face of the day. The art Of the
catacombs is unique and most inter-
esting. Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels whose
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations, SO that the cata-
combs may be said to be pictorial

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread of the scourge
of tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment of
their tuberculosis prisonersJ These in
situations can accommodate, however,
only 500 patients. In three-fourths of
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode of
prison life is considered, the danger of
Infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila, where accommoda-
lions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York, which provides for
$50.
