OMAHA CARES WELLFOR SICK
Eleven Hospitals of Which the City

Specialists in several Lines with Ma

Many Patients Brought
TO Omaha.

Hundreds Of patients suffering all man
ner OF ailments are attended each month
with the highest facilities known to hos
pital science in Omaha institutions, at a
charge considerably lower than in most
cities OF Omaha's size. There are eleven
hospitals In the city, not to mention
several dozen other institutions of a
special or charitable nature which care
for the III and suffering.
Although many OF them belong to in
dividual religious sects the institutions
open their doors to patients OF any faith
without restrictions.
1t is stated by leading physicians OF the
country that this city is blessed with some
OF the most noted and efficient physicians
and surgeons and nurses in the country.
This situation is amply borne out by the
fact that many people from out Of town are
patients In local institutions at all times.
Though each OF the regular Institutions

The fact that there Is no especial city in

private society had gathered up to that
time.
The public library had Its first
home In the building owned by J. g. Willis
from which It was moved to the Labor tenn
pei at Fifteenth and Dodge streets. The
next move was to quarters over Falconer's
store now occupied by Thomas Fitzpatrick
g. Co., and from there In 1888 another
move was made to the Paxton block
The agitation for permanent home now
began to take shape and the donation Of
the present location a part of the late
Byron Reed bequest made possible the erec-
ton of the present beautiful permanent
home OF the library which was first occu-
pied in 1894 The building, which was erec-
ted by the city, cost approximately
500, 900. The structure Is of Renaissance
style Of architecture and is designed with
the convenience Of its patrons as the first
consideration.
Competent Librarian In Charge.
The library Is under the general care of
a librarian who has a number of capable
assistants. The several departments are
each under the charge OF a special attend
ant. These departments are: home circula-
ton, catalogueing, reference room, reading
room and children's room. Another depart
| ment is the bindery, which is operated in
the building. where needed repairs such as
arise from hard usage, are made to the
| books
| One OF the most interesting things in the
library, although 1t is aside from the
library proper, is the Byron Reed collection
OF books, manuscripts and coins. These, at
the time they came into the possession OF
the city, were estimated to be worth $4,000
and with every year their value increases.
! Especially complete Is the collection OF
paper money and coins, and there are sew
eral Of the autograph letters which cannot
be duplicated anywhere.

Other Good Library.

In addition to the Omaha Public Library,
Omaha has a large number of libraries
connected with the various educational in
situations of the city! OF these perhaps
the largest and most important 10 that of
the Douglas County Bar association which
is now kept at the Creighton University
Law school This library, the consohda-
ton of the New York library, the Omaha
Bar association library and several other
collections of books, makes one of the
most practical working Libraries in the
middle west.
The Creighton college library ranks next
In Importance. This collection which con-
tains in the neighborhood Of 1900 volumes
and is housed In a room especially prepared
for 1t a few years ago, is designed prim-
arily for reference use by the students in
the Arts department OF the university.
Another excellent working library is that
OF the Presbyterian Theological Seminary
and the local medical schools as we'll as
the number of Scandinavian, German and
Bohemian SOCIETIES have libraries ample
for their use. The local Masonic fratern-
ity has library OF some 800 volumes and
the Omaha High school is laying the
foundation for a fine one.
In South Omaha Is also found beau
tiful and we'll equipped library, built In re-
cent years at cost OF $4,000. the amount
being donated by Andrew Carnegie. This
library contains approximately 5000 vol
umes and will average almost 1000 bor-
rowers per month. The place which the
library is destined TO fill cannot be com
pletely served because Of limited resources,
but an excellent start has been made.
Liniger Art Gallery.
Omahas only art collection, open TO the
public, is the Ldniger Art Gallery at the
corner OF Eighteenth and Davenport streets.
This gallery was founded and maintained
by George w Liniger. In 1885 Mr.. Liniger
constructed a fireproof gallery adjoining

an appropriation bill an item TO pay

This was amusing, but not serious.
Next day the Stand-patters thought
the Insurgents were due for a
little lesson. Now the Insurgents have
one special pet, known as Calendar
Wednesday. This is an institution
which they secured from the Cannon

at the beginning of the session. It's
Importance is the fact that on that
one day bills can be brought up with

So the Stand-patters decided to trim
the Insurgents by making few holes
in Calendar Wednesday, and proceed

there were enough Insurgents present
so that the Speaker was over-ruled
and the trimming was on the other
side, In fact ii was the first time In
ten years or so that the House had
over-ruled the Speaker, and was con-
sidered by all as a great humiliation

Then the real fight came on. The
Cannonites again decided on "trimm-

all the absent congressman to come
in and help. Many came and Thurs
day the same stunt that failed We'd

As the cut was on a curve, neither

when they met.
The crash was terrific, and heard

almost to scrap iron, several cars
filled with coal rammed in on top, the
cut was filled to the top with con-

coal. A fire started from one of the
boilers. but was soon put out.
