Adopted. Mr. Morrison introduced a resolution to build a two-roomed school at Forest. Adopted. The board then went into commitcee of the whole to consider the question of submitting to the people the proposition to vote bonds Lo build new schools and to_improve the high school and grounds. A lengthy discussion arose as to the most advisable way of dis- posing of the money in case it was voted on and carried. Mr. F. R. McConnell wanted £65,000 to build a new grade school on the high' school grounds. Mr. J. J. Saville objected, saying that the accommodation at the high school was ade- quate. Mr. Morrison objected to having $55,000 spent in building a new structure on the Nigh school ground.” He thought $50,000 quite enough Mr. Coburn favored an addition to the present high school, although he at one time thought a new building advisable. He advo- cated the spending of $75,000 in building an addition, improving and repairing the pres- ent structure and beautifying the grounds. Mr. Clark advocated improving the pres- ent high school by an addition instcad of 'a new structire. and if nocessary would wil- lingly spend $75,000 on such improvements. He also advocated spending $15,000 extra in improving the high school grounds and . building. walks around the same.

An Important Case Pending in the United States Court. A somewhat complex land title case came up before Judges Dundy and Brewer in the United States court. A man named Hurloy owned land in Lancaster county, in this state, and a man named Flynu began a suit to quiet title, Hurley resided in Maryland and could not be served with a summons and the latter was exeouted thrugh the news- papers of this state. When the case came up in the district court F'lynn was granted the title, in action, to the lands. Flynn then sold the land to Rickett & Wilson, and they in turn disposed of it to a man named Arndt. Hurley, after the decroe had been granted, disposed of the land to Griffs, and now Arndt und Griffs are contesting ownership. In an ejection suit of Griffs against Arndt a ruling was made in fayor of the former by the United States supreme court on the grounds that the decree granted Flynn was void. In this Judge Brower agreed but Judgo Dundy dissented, and accordingly o certifi- cate of division was ugreed upon and the same will be referred back to the supremo ourt for final action. ‘The matter of agai eferring it 18 to settlo the | regards the summons service inthe case of John K.

A slick trick was practiced on the Millard hotel people yesterday by a party named ¥, C. Allen, who purported to come from St. Lounis. He registered on the 10th inst, and left on the 12th, giving in payment a check for #0 made upon the Stock Exchange bank in South Omaha. His bill was about &, To this he added other items. The total of these was deducted from the face value of the check and the balance was given to the guest, who professed to be a cattle man. Manager Mc- Donald beowme uneasy, and made inquiry in South Omaha, and found that there was no bank of the name at that place, the nearest approach being the Union Stock Yards bank. But that institution had no funds on deposit belonging to the alleged Wells, It was there ascertained that Wells had made another bogus check in favor of John M, Comstock, Kansas City, and for the samo amount. Mr. Wells' whereabouts are unknown, but it will be unwholesome for him to come into the vicinity for some .ime. The Cut In Live Stock Rates, Cmicaco, Nov. 18, —The Western Freight association, at its meeting to-day, took no action on the proposition of ‘the Chicago & Northwestern to reduce rates on provisions and live stock to 5 cents from Omala to Chi- cago.

Loxpoy, Nov. 13.—~The Chronicle's . Rome correspondent says: It is certain that the American bishops have petitioned the con- grogation of the propaguuda against the predominant influence exercised by the Ger- man Catholics in America. They urge upon the vatican that it is advisable not to permit the formation of scparate German parishes, or tho nomination of German dignitaries. S s The Utes Willing to Move. Jawacis, Colo, Nov. 13.—The southern Utes and the commission bave been in coun- cil for the past two days, und Lave agreed upon the terms of a treaty for the removal of the Indians to Utab.

T The Jews in Egypt. Baltimore Sun: Cuneiform tables found during the present year in the grave of royal scribe of Amenophis I1I. and IV., of the XVIIL. dynasty have brought to light a most interesting chapter in the history of ancient Egypt. 1t has been known that large numbers of Semites—of the same race as the Is- raelites and possibly themselves Israe- lites—fought in the Egyptian armies and built the great wall on the east of Egypt and pyramids in the Nile valley, but it has not till now been made clear what first led to the migrating from Mesopotamia to the land of the Pha- raohs, The tablets explain the puzzle. They are for the most part letters ad- dressed 1o Amenophis, and among them is tho correspondence of this king with Tushratta, king of Mesovotamia. Amenophis, it appears, was a mighty hunter. In the first tan years of his reign he killed, it is alleged, 102 lions with his own hand in the plains of Mesopotamia. Be this as it may, in the course of one of his expeditions in search of big game he met Ti, the lovely daughter of Tushratta, and fell in‘love with her. His suit prosperad and in due tima their nup- tials were celebrated, and T went down into Egypt accompanied by 317 of her principal lad These Semetic beau- ties produced, it appears, a favorable impression upon the kigyptians. Their charms led to the advent of others of their countrym who, finding that Egypt offered a favorable field for their inherent business capacitios, settled down in great numbers and gradually acquired possession of the lands and goods of their hosts. The factof the preservation of this library of cunnei- form tablets testifies to the influence of Queen Ti. Under her protection her countrymen probably enjoyed oxcep- tional privileges. At any rate during her reign they prosmrmf greatly, and during the reigns of the feeble sov eigns that followed Amenophis 11T the; were probably able to maintain their position. But with the advent to power of the XIX dynasty came a change. The aliens were put to the uncongenial tasks of making brick and building walls, pyramids, ote., until at lengeh they rebelled and left l'lg{'plin a body for Pai- estine. Inoneof the letters translated by Mr. Bodge, of the British museum, Tu hratta proposes first the continuanee of the arrangement made by their fathers for paswuring double-humped camets, and thus leads up to the main proposal, which is thut Manie, his great- nephew shall marry the daughter of Kmi‘ Ameuophis. Manie, he suggests, might be allowed to visit the young lady and woo her in person. Such an alliunce would, he considers, be & bond of union between the two countries. As though by an afterthought, he adds that an article Amenophis had asked for would be sent at once, and with it “large gold jars, large gold plates and other articlés of gold,” The wily Tush- | | the re: ratta returns, after this meaning intor- polation, to the marriage question, and promises to &@® ®e handsomnly in the matter of the dowry as his grandfather had doneon a like occasion. As for urces of s kingdom, he boasts that “‘its gold is ljke dust which cannot be counted.” H{ cancludes with an enumeration of the presents of peace ho sends by the bearr of the vessels inlaid with twonty pieces bf lapis-lazuli, nine- teen inlaid golf objocts of cused gold, forty-iwo olfects made of precious stone, harness, chiiriots, carved wooden articles, and thfrty eunuchs. Lapis- lazuli, harness and chariots seem to have been imported largely into Egypt from Mesopotamia., A letter from Kuri-Galzu, s(h\p of Karaduniyash, the traditional rden of Iden, to Amno- phis 1V, asks for gold for the ornamen- tation of the house of his god, and offors in return anything. Amenophis ma, want from Babylonia. Meanwhil Kuri-Galzu sends a lot of lapis-lazuli, ten sots of harness, five chariots and various woods. A third letter from the King of Alushiya to Amenophis shows that very pleasant international rela- tions existed. The writer asks that the property of a subject of s who had died in Brypt be sent back to his tam- ily. He begs also that Amenophis will accept ‘‘five vessels of bronze, the like of which are not made in Egypt,” with abull Amenophis had asked for. He promises to send also certain trees the king of Kgypt desired. In return for all his gifts the king of Alashiyn asks for only “two kukupu jars and a man who understands eagle: What a “kukupu” jar is we are ununble to say precisely, but it appears from these letters that the bric-a-brac craze dates back to 1600 B. C. and perhaps a good deal farther. G 7 Y Types of Frontier Life. Theo. Roosevelt in Century: I have always been treated with the utmost courtesy by cowboys, whether on the round-up or in camp; and the few real desperadoos that 1 have seen were also perfectly polite. Indeed. I nover was shot at maliciously but once. This was on an occasion when 1 had to pass the night in a little frontier hotel where the barroom oceupied the whole lower floor, and was in Gonsequence the place where everyone, drunk or sober, had to sit. My assuilant was neither a’cowboy nor a bona (ide *‘bad man,” but a broad- hatted ruflian of cheap and common- place type who had for the moment tor- rorized the other men in tho barroom, these being mostly sheep herdors and small grangers. The fact that I wore glasses, together with my evident de- sire to avoid a fight, appavently gave him the impression—a mistaken one— that I would not resist an injury. The deadly affray that took place in our town after the cattlemen came in and regular ncttimont began was be- tween a ScotchuMn and a Minnesota man, the latter ing one of the si 1 stockmen. Both §hd shooting records, and each was g m#h with a vavied past. The Scotchmah, a¥noted bully, was the more daring of the two, but he was much too hotheaded and overbearing to be a mateh for his gray-eyed, hard- featured foo. After a furious quarrel and threats of violence, the Scotchman mounted his horse, and, rifle in hand, rode to thergiaom of the mud ranch perched on the hl‘igk of the river bluff, where the Am¥richn lived, and was in- stantly shot.dpyn E{‘ the latter from be- hind a cornew; ofthe building. Later on.I-once opened a cowhoy ball with the wife of the vietor in .this contest; the husband himeolf dulfoing opposite. It was the lancérs’and He knew all the steps far better-than Idid. He could have danced a‘minuet very well with a little practice. The sctené reminded one of the ball where Brete Harte's heroine ‘‘danced down the middle with the man who shot Sandy Magee.” But though there were plonty of men present each of whom had shot his luckless Sandy Magee, yet there was no Ialy of Poverty Flat. There 18 an old and true border saying that ‘‘the fron- tier is hard on women and cattle.” There are some exceptions; but, asa rule, the grinding toil and hardships of alife passed in the wilderness, or on its outskirts, drive the beauty and bloom from a woman’s face long before hor youth has left her. By the time she is a mother she is sin and angular,and thin, compressed lips and furrowed, sal- low brow. But she has a hundred qual- ities that atones for the grace she lacks. She is a good mother and a hard-work- ing housewife, always putting things to rights, washing and cooking for her stalwart spouse and offspring. She is faithful to her husband, and, like the true American thatshe is, exacts a faithfulness in return. Peril cannot daunt her, nor hardship and poverty appall her. Whether on the mountain in a log hut chinked with moss, in a s0d or adobe hovel on the desolate prairie, or in a mere temporary camp,where the white-topped wagons have been drawn up in a protection-giving circle nenr some spring, she isequally at home. Clad in a dingy gown and a hideous sun- bonnet, she goes bravely about her work, resolute, silent, uncomplaining. The 'children grow up protty much as fate dictates. Even when very small they seem well able to protect them- selves. The wile of one of my team- stors, who lived in a small outlying camyp, used to keep the youngest and most troublesome members of her fam- ily out of mischief by the simple expe- dient of picketing them out, each ehild being tied by the leg with a leather string, to a stakedriven into the ground, 80 that it could neither gev at another child nor at anything breakable. The best buckskin maker that I ever met was, if not a typical frontiers- woman, at least a woman who could not have reached her full development save on the border. She made first-class hunting shirts, leggings and gauntlets. When 1 knew her she was living alone in her cabin in gid-prairvie, having dis- missed her husband six months prev ously in an exgeedingly summary ma MEXICAN ner. She not only possossed rodoubt- ablo qualivies of hend and hand, but also a nica sense of justice, even toward Indiang, that is not always found on the fronti Once, going there for a buck- skin shirt, I met at her cabin three Sioux, and from their leader, named One Bull, purchased a tobacco pouch, beautifully worked with porcupine quills, She had given them some dinner, for which they had paid with a deer,hide. Falling into conversation she mentioned that just before I came up, a white man, apparently from Dead- wond, had passed by and had tried to steal the Indians’ horses. The latter had been two quick for him, had run him down and brought him back to the oabin, I told ‘em to go right on_and hang him, and [ wouldn't nover cheep about it id my informant; “‘but they let him go after taking his gun, There ain't no sense in stealing from Indians any more than from white folks, and I'm not going to have it round my ranch neithor. There! I'll give ’em back the deer-hide they give me for the din ner and things, anyway.” 1 told he oly wished we could -make and Indian agent. She made the Indians—and whites too, for that matter—behave themselves and walk the straightest kind of a line, not ating the least symptom of rebel- lion, but she had a strong natural sense of justice. The cowboy balls spoken of above are always great events in the small towns where they take place. Being usually given when the round-up passes nmear, everybody round about comes in for them. ~ Thay are almost al- ways conducted with great decorum; no unseemly conduct would be tolerated. There is usually some master of tho ceremonies, chosen with due regard to brawn as well as brain. e calls off th figures of the square dances so thateven the 1nexperienced may get through them, and incidentally preserves order. Sometimes we are allowed to wear our revolvers, and sometimes not. The na- ture of the band, of course, depends upon the s of the place. T remember one ball that came near being a failure because our half-breed fiddler *‘went and got himself shot,” as the indignant mastor of cevemonios phrased it. 3ut all these things ave mevely incidents in cowboy’s 1 It is utterly unfair to judge the whole class by whata few in- dividuals n the course of twoor three days spent in town.instead of by the long months of weary, honest toil common to allalike. Toappreciate properly his fine, manly qualities, the wild roigh-rider of the plai houid be seen his own home. There he passes his days; thero he does his lifework; there, when he meets death, he faces it as he has faced many other evils, with quiet, uncom- plaining fortitude. Brave, hospitable, hardy and adventurous, he is the grim pioncer of our race; he prepares the way for the civilization from before whose face he must himsell disappe: Hard and dangerous though his exist- ence is. it has Aet o wild attraction that strongly draws to it his bold, free spirit. He lives in the lonely lands where mighty rivers twist in long reaches between the barren bluffs, where the prairies stretch out into billowy plains of waving grass, girt only by the blue horizon—plains across whose endless breadth he can steer his course for days and weeks and see neither man to speak to nor hill to breaic the level; where the glory and the burning splen- dor of the sunsets kindle the blue vault of heav nd the level brown earth till they merge . together in an ocean of flaming fire.—C. 3 ——— An Important Experiment. Chicago Tribune: An elaborate sys- tem of experiments conducted by the Agricultural college of Michigan show that milk and butter products are slightly increased by rming the water drank by dairy cows. Prof. John- on, who directed these experiments, the resulis are not so pronounced in'favor of warm water as was expected, and the difference is so siight as scarcely to pay for warming the water. Though the gain in milk and butter may hardly pay the dairyman, never- theless we may say the improvement of the cow’s condition by the artificial warmth of the water is great. The an- imal may be compared to an inanimate motor like the steam engine, deriving all its power for locomotion and diges- tion from its internal heat. Ordinarily the heat necessary to keep the animal in health and vigor and to enable it to resist oxternal cold is evolved within its body by the mechanical changes oing on in the process of digosting its 'ood. When this supply of animal heat runs low, as it is sure to do in a severe winter, the animal suffers in all its or- gans. But if the natural heat is sup- plemented by the artificial heat in the water the animal drinks all its func- tions are strengthened and its ability to endure severe cold is considerably in- creased. Heat is also a powerful stimulant to the heart, so that a cup of hot tea is much more refreshing than a cold one. There is, thevefore, every reason to ho- lieve that if the Michigan experiments were tried generally on dairy farms in winter the results would decidedly in- crease the farmer’s profits. — - He Learned the Business.
