George Eckerich shot and fatally wounded
her S-year-old brother. The tragedy oc-
CURED az $50 Sunday morning while the
children were playing alone at their home,
a farm ten miles northwest OF Nicola, Ia.
The weapon was 70 caliber rifle, and the
bullet struck the baby IN the forehead,
penetrating the brain, and inflicted a
wound that permitted little hope of reoov-
cry, although the child was still alive
yesterday afternoon.
The Eckerieh boys had used the gun
earlier in the morning In an attempt to
shoot a coon. but IL had proved of little
value They had brought II into the house
and threw IL down and went TO their work
In the feed lots. For a short time the
children were entirely alone in the house
ana one OF the elder members came into
the room just In time TO see the little girl
playfuIly point the sun at her baby
brother and hear her say. Now I'm Eoins

little fellows life and an operation has
been performed, in which pieces OF spin
tered bone have been taken from the brain
but the bullet was buried too deeply to BE-
extracted.

CAUTION ACT AS TO DISEASE
TABLED FOR ANOTHER WEEK
DIR. HOIOvtchineT's Resolution Does
Not Pass the Board of Education
Other Proceedings.

The resolution brought before the Board
OF Education by Or. HolOvtchlner TO have
daily examinations by all teachers to as
certain from the children whether or not
there is any infectious diseases in their
homes went through various vieissitudes
Monday night and was finally tabled for
another week. The resolution which was
presented At a previous meeting was to es-
tablish a system OF inquiry by the teachers
In the public schools. so that as soon as a
child came from a home where there was
disease the teacher could take some steps
to prevent the spread OF infection. The
members Of the board, excepting one or
two seemed rather inclined to favor the
scheme. but further discussion was de-
sired
A resolution was introduced by Member
Lindsay and passed which gave the ap-
prevail OF the board to the regular policy
Of the management OF the high school
lunch counter in restricting It to the ex-
elusive use Of teachers and pupils Several
orders were made for new furniture in
GLIDING new chairs for the high school and
desks and chairs for Columbian school.

Action Postponed
on jackson Street
Track Proposition
Property Owners and Counoilmen Row
Over the ACCESSIBILITY Of the
Proposed Extensions.

More excited protests and arguments be-
tween differing property holders on Jack
son street and Fourteenth street resulted
Monday afternoon at the city council com
mittee meeting IN putting over for another
week the proposition to extend the tracks
OF the Union Pacific railroad up jackson
street There are several petitions I'm the
case on both sides and the council has been
discussing II for several months.
The boulevards in Omaha are a Joke"
said John L. Kennedy, favoung the extern
sion, in answer to a statement that Jackson
street was a link in the driveways. This
isn't a city, It's a country town, and we
will never have a real city with bouievards
that are a pleasure and parks that are
not a disgrace until business interests are
built up by public spirit"
Cooley +. Brucker. president OF the
council, gave Mr.. Kenunedy a severe re-
jorder for decrying Omaha. Mrs. Mar
garet NREl, owner Of the LANCE hotel
spoke twice TO say that her property would
be almost entirely destroyed II the railroad
comes up Jackson Others who spoke
against II we're Hal McCord, Frank Col
PETER and J. A. c. Kennedy. Following
Mr. Kennedy, W. Whitaker Of the Union
Pacific spoke for the railroad and referred
rather sarcastically to the opinions on the
practical railroRding questions involved that
were expressed by other lawyers.
Rome Miller, also against the PROPOSE
ton, followed Mr.. Whitaker and several
oouncilmen took a whirl at the general
heated dispute. The postponement was
made over the protest Of several OF those
interested, including Clark Powell, and over
the votes OF three councilmen Brucker,
Johnson and Schroeder
To review the reports OF the appraising
committee on damages in construction Of
the Florence boulevard at Grand avenue

Omaha Must Stand
Expense of Bemis'
Suit for Damages
Judge Munger Decides the City and
Not Armour 6 Co., Responsible
for Accident.

Tottering binboards are costly advertis-
ing mediums in these days OF modern pub
Hcity methods-costly to the extent Of
100 in the case OF the city OF Omaha
against Armour 3 Co
Judge Munger OF the federal court rem
dered an opinion Tuesday morning in
which he decides the Omsha-Armour Htiga-
ton in favor Of the defendant which,
tersely stated. means an $4,000 loss TO the
city. A dozen years or so ago, the Armour
people erected a billboard for advertising
purposes on FRrnam street west Of
Eighteenth street Later the billboard
was sold to the real estate firm OF Hsr-
rison q Morton. Still later, George p
Bemis was walking east on Farnam
street one clustering April day, and the
billboard blew over. striking him with such
serious physical effect that ne brought suit
against the city for damages. In the dis
trct court of Douglas county, Bems won
his case, a higher court affirmed the iudg-
ment and the damage was paid.
Then, BY way of redress, the city brought
suit in the federal court against Armour
q Co, charging that inasmuch az Armour
g. Co, originally erected the billboard, re-
sponsibilty continued throughout the ex-
istence OF the board as an advertising mo
dium. despite the transfer Of ownership to
Harrison & Morton.
Judge Munger holds that Armour & Co,
are not liable, inasmuch as the board at
the time they erected IL and at the time
they sold It to Harrison & Morton was not
so unsteady as to be menace to public
safety and that it's shaky condition came
about as the result OF the rRvRges Of time
after II had passed out OF the control OF the
original owners. Therefore a motion to
relieve the defendants Of responsibility was
sustained The city has already paid
Bemis the amount OF the judgment

CITY WATER REVEALS
FEW LONELY MICROBES

After Week,

The city water of Omaha is getting so
unhealthy for the microbes that only nine
lonely little germs can be found in a

DR.. Langfeld, who was called upon by
the city council to give them a report OF
his regular meteorological examination,
and then after one report was Indignantly
requested to come in person and explain
hts scientific terms, said that the chemical
treatment of the Omaha water supply is
becoming so cruelty efficacious that con-
sumers are beginning to taste carbolic acid
and the bacteria are being slaughtered.
Several complaints have been made to the
authorities because of carbolic flavor in
the water and the bacteriologist said that
the treatment might be made bit less
thorough.
There was a time recently when there
were as many as $50 germs to the cubic
centimenter, that is $50 dead ones, as DR..
Langfeld never counts the pathetic little
corpses. The law allows 100 and now that
the number is one one-tenth of that the
bad water scare is over.
