Accord ingly, George Kay and Frank Bandle were appointed a committee togo around among the business men to see what can be done towards raising the necessary funds. 1t is proposed to form a com pany with £5,000 stock to operate theclub, b0 shares of §100 ch being issued. On this basis, it is thought, a club can be successfully operated. It should be stated that already about 3,000 of the amount has been promised. It is believed +that the remaining $2,000 can easily be sceured. No stock subseription of less than $100 will be taken If the liberal encouragement which the scheme has 80 far received is kept up, the club will be organized with a boom. At the meeting last night, the question s to which | o Omala ought to enter was frecly discussed.

Two Men Arrested for Running an icit Still. Revenue Agent Thrasher and Deputy United States Collector Doud returned yesterday from West Point, where on Saturday they attended a hearing of Mahlon Collins and James Hutchins, who are charged with having been run- ning an illicit still in Madison county. The men were held under bonds of $1,000 ench to answer to the grand jury of the United States court. Rand Collins, who was ulso charged with the oftense, was released on proving an ahbi. In April last Colling ana Hutchins built a distillery at their place in _the woods between Battie Creck and West Point, and registered their plant with the ternal revenue department. A, E. Sh don, the editor of the Burnett Blade, was made guager and store- keeper for the establishment, and for some time the work ran along smoothly. A month or so ago, through the conniy ance, it is alleged, of the democratic can- didate for state treasurer, Burnett was removed from his position, and since that time the distillery has been running along without any gauger or store keeper in direct violation of the revenue regula- tions. ‘I'he men charged with the offense are old-timers in the distillery busine Both are Virgini and learned thel It is rged by t the only offense tho prisoncrs is not in the operation of .fiu-u‘ plant in violation of the regulations, ut that they also haye illiet stills in oporation in the woods Madison county, turning ont a regular wbhite moonghine of the old brand. delay. You s MR. BLACKBURN A WERED, The Meeting of the Board of Educa- tion Last Night, Members Blackburn and Davis were absent from the meeting of the beard of education last night, The meeting wa ealled to order by President Points. Estimates for work done on new school Jhouses and the boiler house for the high sehool were reported and allowed. .. The petition ot Herman Linderoth for the use of a room in Cass school for the purpose of teaching a night school in the » Swedish and English languages was granted, ““The committee on teachers and text books offered their report in reply to the questions propounded by Mr. Blackburn @t the last aecting of the board. Mr, *Blackburn being osent, Mr. Clark moved that the report of the committee be withheld until a future mecting. The wotion drew out n marked opposition to any further post- poneient of the matter. Chairman , of the committee who had the f answoring the questions, said burn should be at the meeting instead of looking after his political The committee, he said had port and were ansious submit it, in the hope of stopping the newspaper talk that has be arted by the questions, After some discussion the report was called for aud read.

Iupils from the neighborhood of the Dodge school bolonging to higher grades do attend the schools named, because there are not enough of thew to justify the continuance of their elasses In the Dodge school. It has already been stated that these few pupils do not crowd the schools where they attend, and do not in any way interfere with ¢ convenience the pupils with whom the clnssitied, In some cases the schools to which they are sent would be too small with- out them. d Why have the grades above the fitth been removed from Dodge, one of our best buildings, and where are the children who formerly filled such classes in this school? At tlie close of last school year there re- mained in the sixth and seventh grades of part of the Dodge school twenty-eight pupils in three different classes, Several of them did mot return this year. To keop three classes in a room, when it can be avoided, is a waste of teaching force; to mploy n teeclier for less than thirty pupils, cn they can be well accommodated in other schools near by involves a wasto of public mone The pupils of these classes, as the fourth question plainly states, wore'sent to the Pa- Ci weavenworth and easy to understand, in the lower part of the city, tha azo were occupied by residence: ir quota of children to school, are now covered by business blocks. The large falling off in the school population, as determined by the hows at inroads business enterprises have made and are still making in the residence portion of the city, In 1554 the ird ward, in the center of whieh the Dodge sehool is located, reported children in 1585, 853; in 1856, only 610, er, there is included in the School ation in this ward a larger number of ally past school age, other ward. A~ very large num en the ages of sixtecn and twenty-one is found in this part of the city. ‘This isaccounted for by the t that 50 many employes of stores, factories, hotels, boarding houses, ete., ete., living in the lower part of tha city are included in the school enumeration. In the Sixth ward three-fourths of the school population, as reported at the spring census, are under fifteen years of age. In the Second ward four-fifths are under fifteen years of age. In the Third ward only a little more than hali are under fifteen, and nearly one-half of thatage that furnishes very few Mo enumes school youth who are than in an ber of minors betw school children This reduces the actual school population of the Third ward to a littie more than pupi T'wo other facts must also be borne in mind. First, that the Leavenworth sehool now oceupies a large nart of the territory that three years ago be onged to the Dod-e sehool, and_ secondly, at the largest ch chool in the city 13 d only a In view of all th s plain that this sehool, whichi oceupies one of our best buildings, must nevitably decline. It is the result of @ law that has éxerted its influence nevery large city. To suppose that this school éan be kept up, 88 1t was years ago, Is to ignore the fact that Omaha is a large and growing eit 7. By whose authority are children scat- tered all over the city, instead of being confined to schools in their own district or vielnity. By tho rules of theboard of education, the superintendent is responsible for the grading and classilication af the pupils. ‘There are no districts, and it is not at all certain that the difficulties would be dimimished if districts should be established with fixed metes and bounds. As it i8, except in a es, most of which have aiready been explained, chil- dren do attend school nearest which they live. The idea that “'children are seattered all over the city,” is entirely erroneous. Below the High school very few childron— probably not 1 per cent of the whole, are re- uired togo 50 far that they eannot’ casily &0 lome for their dinners. In tbis particular the sehools were never in so good condition before, 8, Why do wo_have 8o much confu the opening of the schools among children seeking their proper places? This question is prompted by a misappre- lension of the facts. Of course the chaning of the grades and classes of six or seven thousand children produces some confusion, but we venture the assertion t no other business in Omaha, involving interests of so much importance and affecting so many peo- ple is conducted so promptly o with so little confusion. The present year this was done $0 quickly that some of the schools were en- tirely settled and ready for business the first forenoon, and with so'much care and o few mistakes, that not half a dozen cases oceurred in which parents appealed to the superintendent for a further hearing and a different result. As a matter of course there must be some adjustment between rooms that are too full and those that do not have pupits enough, but this has been accomplished easily and without confusion 9. Wiy are teachers obliged to remain in ignorance of their assignment of a term’s \}ul k lum}l the day preceding the opening of the schools? Here is another misapprehension. Of the chers in the schools now wh vere em- yed last year, all but fourteen '3 1 the sehools in which they taught The changes of these fourtcen were nearly all caused by the action of the board by abandoning the rooms they formerly oecii- pred. or by electing them to other positions— principalships or positions in the high school, 10, Why ar teachers from all parts of the eity foreed to gather at Dodge or the board rooms at the call of special teachers when these teachers have time to meet teachers at their own schools at 8:30 or 8:50 P Because ours graded schools, "To meet each grade in a school would require from four to eight days to each building and four months to ¢o onice around the city, All the teachiers of the same grade ean be miet at once Just as well e plan proposed would te- sult in the abolition of teachers’ weetings altogeth Why is there so much ill-feeling among much lack of harmony, so many jealousies, 50 little apparent anxiety tor the good of the sehools, and so much wire pulling tor beiter places Cannot your committee devise some 10 of districting the eity so as to avoid confusion above referred to among the childre 13. Cannot your committee devise some wethod of assigning teachers which work fewer hardships to teachers and con- duice more to contentwent amony them ? 15, Cannot your cowmittee take eharge of tne special teactiers and so divide the work o them that all shall be kept comfort- ably busy and fewer disagreements shall oceur between special and assistant teachers? These remaining questions contain seve voints that may be considered together, The following explanation is offered by the super- intendent and fully concurred in by the committe ‘To the intimation that there exists on the part of the teachers much ill-feeling and ealonsy, and a notable want of harmony, [ have this w say: 1 do not know how I could Lave a betler” opportunity of knowing the feclings, motives and disposition of the teachers than wy official position affords me, and Lam positive that Mr, B. misunderstands the great ass of our teachers.

These eements are usually the result of an i unxiety on the partof the assistant and special teacliers for the general good of the schools, 1t is a mistake to suppose that the special teachers are not kept comfortably busy. Each of them works on a progra visiting all the schools in the city at regular intervals, and giving from sixty to eighty lessons each week. 1 do not know where special thachiers are kept more busy. It seems proper at this time to say that the schools have opened this terin more satis- factorily, and that they are in a better condi- tion than ever before. The pupils are so di tributed that no school is 5o large as to make it unwieldly, or so small, with one or two ex- agreements wlio have on kind coptions, as to make the instruction too | the Porta Pia, to take final and costly.

Paris Corresnondent of London Daily Nows: A Russian_consul, Count Dimitri de Noroff, who often stops at Paris, has good reason to thank his stars for a sin gular piece of luck. Two months ago he met in a cafe two gentlemen, fanltiossly t up, with whom he onicred into con During a stroll on the | vard which they afterward took together, the two friends knocked him down with out warning, and ran away with 4,000, or €180, which they found in his pocketbook Last week, after a stay in Moscow, M, de Noroft was walking in th ing down the Champs when he saw one of his assailants taking the air in front of a eafe chantant. e witly gripped him by the throat, but not tiglitly enough to prevent his es: cape.and an exeiting chase ensued across the benches of the cafe, whose occupants exprossed some astonishment at the pre cipitate movements of the stylish gentle man and his partner. M. de Norofl, how ud eltected 1 fter some de was proved ever, was not to be feiled elever eapture. The man, nial hefore the commissary to be tho thief, and disgoriged the entire sum of money, which he had considor ately preserved intact during M, de Nor oft’s absence in Russia. But the story does not end here. Only yesterday, as he was posting a letter, whom should M de Noroff see but the second thief wat ing to put two large envelopes into the box. He also was sceured, with the as sistance of a telegraph clerk, and idonti fied by an elegant cameo ring on his fore finger. Moreover, the two envelopes were found to contain several bundles of forged bank notes. —— Mesmerizing By Telephone, Electrical Review: A rather tall story has emanated from a professor of mes. merism who visited Portsmouth recently. He was “interviewed’ by a local reporter, who, after questioning him on a variety of matters, asked whether he had ever succeeded 'in casting a mystic spell over a subject who w t o distanc “Yes," was the profe rosvonse.

Currie, Thompson & Co.’s oflice, and gave them dircetions by wire what to do. I think expeetation had a good deal to do with it, but, at all nts, they all went off into a trance, and Drs White, Granger and Lowe, eminent phy sycians in Glasgow, satisfied themselves of the genuineness of the phenomena by running pins and needles into them.™ - Why He Boug!
