On motion of Secretary Conoyer it was not accepted. The report of the city treasurer, show- ing a balance on hand of $8,366.87, and in the sinking fund a balance of $1,- 516.49, and bonds on deposit $70,5600, was received. An estimate in favor of E. J, Brennan for building the stone wall at the High school, amounting to $414 09, was al- lowed. An applicatio position as teach! Referred. It was declded that the grading at the Hartman school should be stopped. The following were elected teachers on recommendation of Superintendent James and the teachers’ committee: Ollle V. Bolin, Kate M. Gavin, Moselle Eddy, Mary A. Frazier, Huldah Isaacson, Emily A. Robinson, Lizzie R, Needham, Irene Harris, Lida Shallenberger and Alice M.

The committee to whom was referred the communication of Councilman Anderson, asking for an appropriation toward buylng a patrol wagon for the po- lice, reported that they fnl?ed to find any authority to justify the board in appro- priating for such a purpose. Accepted. M. W. Hoover was re-elected superin- tendens of repairs, at a ealary of $1200. A rosolution to assign Miss Bertha Negl as assistant teachor was adopted. A resolution to allow the Ruttan Heating company $500, on account, was adopted. A resolutlon to draw a warrant for the full amount due Arthur Johnston on con- tract, and to leave the matter of extras to the committee on the Hartman schoul building. Superiatendent James brought up the change of grading fn the lower olasses from three to each grade to two in each grade, the object being to make less classes and larger, and reliove the small children in the north and south parts of the city from the necessity of oing to the high school for classes. ~Mr. %-u approved of the change, Mr, Con- oyer and Mr. Specht opposed it. Mr. Hall offered a resolution sustaining the superintendent’s course in changing and also amending the rale to coaform there- to. Mr, Copeland moved to suspend in- stead of amending the rule. The mo- tlon was lost. The board adjourned. AN ALL-ROUND SWINDLE. Curtis, a Union Pacific Olerk, Guilty otthe Crimes of Larceny ana Forgery, from L. Wendriel for to Instruct in German, Yesterday afternoon, a lady, Mra, Loomis, living at 1914 Webster street, came up to Judge Anderson’s ccurt, and told a story of deception and fraud, con- cernihg one W. L, Curtis, a clerk em- ployed In the auditor’s department of the Union Pacific headquarters. It seems that young Cartis has been boarding for some time at the house of Mrs, Loomis and has been running up a heavy b:ard bill. Sunday, on being called to account, he agree bill. Accordingly he produced a check on the Omaha National bank for $28.50, signed by Judge Gustav Anderson, which appearing all O, K., was duly accepted by Mrs. L, 1n change she tendered $7.50, which was taken by him. Shortly afterwards Curtis passed off another Omaha Nationalbank check, purporting to be signed by Judge Anderson, which was also willingly accepted. The checks, in the due course of business were sent to the bank where, In a short time they were found to be forgeries,. The work was very cleverly “done, Curtis being quite an expert as a penman. 1t appears that Cartis has been ac- quainted with Judge Anderson for some time in a personal way, but more lately in a professional capacity, Therc was a suit pending against Curtis in Judge An- derson’s court, which was brought against him by a well known clothier BEhere, to whom Curtis was heavily indebted. Curtls was under bonds to appear, and the trial was to come off to-day. Several legal papers were served upon Cartls in the prelimin- arles of the trial, and in this way he had a good opportunity to study the chirog- rophy of Judge Anderson. It has later transpired that Coriis Eas jumped the town. He atole, night before last, & valuable sait of clothes and a gold watch belonging to his room-mate. Nothing has been seen of him since, and there is not the slightest clue to his whereabouts. A search was made for him last night, through all the gambling places of the city, where he might be supposed to be spending his time and money, but nothing was seen of the forger and thief. Curtis way generally considered a fairly reliable and honest sort of fellow. Gambling and fast living, howev proved his moral ruin, ELEOTING OFFICERS.

A Brace of Touching Incidents ana Their Sequels, Some two weeka ago, twolittle girls living some where in the suburbs of Om- aha on the Bellevue road, came into Drexel & Maul's undertaking eatablish- ment and purchased a coffin .for a little dog which belonged to one of them. The Iittle mlstross seemod almost heart-brok- en at the death of her pet, but to all ad- vances of condoling curiosity, refused to tell her name, or where she lived. Final- [* ly, after purchasing a coffin, the two childron trudged out into the cold again, walked several miles against the beatiog wind, snd buried the dog with tearful and pathetlc care. The incident is still remembered as one of the carlous ament- tles which break in upon the monotony of everyday life. But there has developed a sad and touching sequel to the story. Shortly after the burial of the dog, its little inistress was taken sick with a fever contracted from the disease of the dog. The child gradually wasted away, and desplte the the tenderest and most skill- ful of medical treatment, died Sunday morning, two weeks after the death of the little friend. A curious coincidencs with an exact, re- version of circumstances occurred on the same morning and almost at the same time. About a month ago Coroner Maul was called to investigate the death of a little child which died in a little hovel (the house of Mrs. Davis) on_the corner of Ninth and Dodge streets. The little girl, some five or six years of age, was buried. A little dog, the pet of the child, grieved incessantly at the death of its mistress, and refused to touch a wmorsel of food. It contracted a low fever, exactly iden- its littlo mistross. The canine gradually pined away and died Sunday morning. Both cases are precisely reversed, and certainly present a marvellous coincid- enca, STRIKING ICE MEN. A Gang of 150 Ice Cautters Btrike for $L,50 per Day.

It is clalmed by the men that Guy & Fitch have been paylng anything from $1 to $1.25 » day and that most of their men were only paid $1.10 per day. The trouble was finally settled by Guy & Fitch fixing the rate of wages at$1,25 per day. A number of men engaged to work at that price, but the msjority re- fused and were discharged. ———— The Bottoms' Mystery. A week ago briof mention was made in these columns of a young man who was ejected from the Council Bluffs train, and who had wandered off into the river bottoms. He was intoxizated at the time and disappeared suddenly. It was sup- posed that he had been robbed and mur- dered by two notorious crooks in whose company he had been seen late in the afcernoon. Since that time Detective James Davis, who has . been fol- lowing up the case quistly, has. discover- ed a circumstance which coofirms the ility of the theory that the mys- tery is one of robbery and murder. has the names of two unsavory toughs, habitues of the bottoms, ona of them an ex-convict, who have been quarrelling about the disposition of a certain lot of jewelry and clothes which were stolen by them, The plunder is supposed to be- long to the mysteriously missing young man, The pointer is a valuable one, and will be quletly followed vp. o ——— The Oriminal Record, month of December: Murder.............

Miss Lowis was employed at the asy- lum from June, 1883, to December 15, 1884, An Interview with her regarding the condition of the asylum glves some information that certalnly deserves the attontion of the leglalature, “Daring my stay in the asylum,” said Miss Lewls, ‘‘there has been no exami- nation of the luegs, heart or excretions to show what, if any, physical causes there wore to produce insanity, When the rolls of the physiclans were brought in, assigning certain causes of insanity I was never asked to ascertain whother these assigned reasons were correct or not.
