It Transacts Important Busines Relation to Sohool Buildings. A special meeting of the board of educa- tion was held last night for the purpose of considering the issuance of bonds in the sum of $300,000 for now school sites and for the erection of new school house Thero were eleven members of the board present, and when the meeting was calied to order the body resolved itself into & commit- tee of the whole, and after a long discussion on the differentappropriations for the various schools, recommendations were made for the following scliools Aigh school addition,, .. &5, Hartman school building 50,000 Hartman addition to site Hickory building Hickor; ranklin school . 't Omaha site. . .. West Omaha building Long street building. Gibson site Lathrop site, General improvements Walks and retaining walls. . Motions were madv for appropriation sites at Twenty-third and California streets and at Nineteenth and Clark streets, but both were lost. p The committee, upon arising to revort, recommended that the amount of the bonds which is $27%,500, be issued if there was a orable vote at the clection which will bo held for that purpose. The board adjourncd without adopting the report of the committe AMUSEMENTS The greeting extended to Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett, on their return to Omaha, at Boyd's opera house, last night, was in all respects creditaple and gratifying. Evory seat, up stairs and down, was oceu- pled with as fine appearing aud ap- preciative an audience _as can be found any where. Laaics in fashionable attira, prominent merchants, bankers and lawyers, as woll as belles anc beaux of swell society, occupied sittings in the gallery that beiongs to the gods, and were thankful for the opportunity, By noon, Thursday, it was impossible to” secure chairs, either in the parquet, dress circle or balcony, 80 great was the rush. Council Bluffs, Liucoln, Fremont, Plattsmouth, and other ' fowns within n radius of fifty miles, were woll represented. That they thoroughly enjoyed the perform- ance is already conceded, but those who were not fortunato enough to be present can uot comprehend the treat given to those who were. It was an entertainment, for in- tellectual people, and ouly such as are well versed in the higher class of acting could be expected to feel satisfied. ‘“The Merchant of Venice' was the play, Mr. Booth appear- ing as part in which he has won greater fame than any actor, and M. Barrett, in sanio, a_character that bas ney 0 offective as it is in;his hands. All that might be written of these two stars is fully merited, but what is the use of covering ground that has been gone over s0 often, The excellence of their work 18 an every day story. The American stage has no other such actor as Bdwin Bogth, no man who approaches within hailing distance of him. His characterization of the old Venetian Jow s un- questionably the most wonderful viece of work the theater-goers of this gen cration ever will see. Mr. Booth’s moro in- timate friends doubtless observed last night that he was less carncst and firery than usual in soine of the stronger scenes, bocause of Liis recent illness, but _every point, pas- sion, feeling and thought possible to con- ceive, as belonging to the character, was brought out as oaly the trained and mas- terly mind _can bring them out. TFor the time Booth had passed entirely out of existence, was compietely forgotten, and in his stead lived the creation of Shakes- peare's fertile brain. Mr. Barrett’s part in the performance was naturaily overshadowed by that of his associate, but for all that he au not be accused of having slighted it in the least. The supporting compauy is all that couid be de- sired. Each member seems to have been especial elected to fit a certain line and does what he has to do well. Miss Shylock, a doubtless Minnie Galo continues to hold the position of leading lady, and she is a charming nc- tress. Her presentation of the fair Portia tly pleased everybody, and next to the sturs, the honors of the evening were be- stowed on her. Fredrick Vroom, John A. Lane, Lawrence Hanly, Owen Fawcett, Miss Eleanor Tyndale and Agnes Acres, deserve special montion. The piece was well staged and in every particular the performance ran smoothly. A pleasing feature of it was the good singing introduced by a quartette of excellent male voices. At the matil this afternoon, “Othello” will be the bill with Mr. Barrett in the title role and Booth as Ingo. To-night they give *‘The Fools Ie- venge" and “Yo!

We have recently received a letter from one of our well-kuown subscribers upon a subject which we prefer to pub- lish for the perusal of our readers auticipating that in doing some one will relieve us of the rualmunihilily of answering “Subseriber’s” questions. Here is the lotter: 3 r Editor: For several years past [ have been the recipient of sev- eral pamphlets issued from time to time H. H.

Now, Mr. itor, would like to know if the statements made by those parties who testify to the great good which Warner's Safe Cure has done them, cau be velied on.

H., Va., says that War- ner’s Safe Cuve cured him of Bright's Disease,” It strikes me thut there is of sense in the claim which those parties make that the doctors are treat- ing too many persous for wrong cuu and that oftentinies, people are treated for consumption, brain, heart and nerv- ous disorders, when they are suffering from kidney disease which should be treated, as they say, by the use of War- ner’s Safe Cure and a8 a result, when disease is fivst removed therefrom, that which is supposed to be disease in the Lungs or other organs, will disappoar. Many of my neighbors te!l me that this remedy has done much good for them— move good than their doctors, If kid- ney disease is the real cause of so many other diseuses why, Mr. Editor, don't the people whe are afllicted with sick= ness, iusist upon a more cureful inguiry being wade, in order that the truc canse may Lo ascertained, and the proper wrcniment given?” “Suuscriues,” zood deal THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. APRIL 27 188() RAILROAD MEN QUARREL. They Still Accuse BEach Other of Manipulating Rates. WHERE ARE THE AUTHORITIES? What Scems to Be a Olear Case Made Out—The Inter-State Commis- sion Arraigned For Carelessness, Manipulating Rates. Cricao, April 26.—(Speeial Telegram to Tng Bee.)—A quiot movemont was sot on foot to-day to punish thé St. Paul and North- western for the manipulation of rates, whereby the Ellsworth Coal company was enabled to get & reduotion of 35 cents a ton on its shipments of coal and coko. The con company is equally liable, but the movement 80 far oxtends only against the toads. The rime mover is not a railroad man. Sald he to your correspondent: “The inter-state commerce commission and the inter-state commerce railway associations are roaring farces in-so-far as meaning what thoy say is concorned. Both associations have repeat- edly said that they would punish any infrac- tion of the law, and the latter association made a groat blaro of trumpots over the stavement that it would bring suit agamst any illegal act peeformed by @ railroad whether in or out of the assoc tion. Now that was pure, unadulterated buncombe, and all the railroads know it. The inter-siate commerce railway associa- tion and commission have both declared they would act whenever tbey learned of evidence against any road, whether a com- plaint was made or not. Now we don't believe, nor does a raiiroad man in Chicago- that either association will take action un- less & complunt is pressed on their notige. ‘We shippers know that discrimination is al- most as common now as before the inter- state commorce act came into being, Some of us are verhaps not as sharp as others and we have been gotting the worst of it, Now wo have the statement over the signature of Chairman Blanchard of the Central Traffic association and Chairman Faithorn and Midgiey of the Western Freight association, that” two roaas and a shipper are guilty and we propose to see whether thero is a law in Isracl to punish them. We will wait a rea sonable length of time for the associations to take actions as they claimed they would, without complaint. When this time has ex- pired we will simply push the statement of the three chairmen before both associations. That is all_the proof we want to secure a conviction if the association means busi- ness.” A NEW OVERLA ND. It Will SBucceed the Golden Gate Spe- cial May 4.

The Alton Amnounces a Reduction and Excitement Prevails. The local roads are considerably upover the movement of the Chi Alton, inits threatened reduction of G cents in the rate on lumber between Chicago and Kansas City. This, they claim, will result in the Iowa lines putting in the same rate, 10 cents, on lumber between Chicago and Oma- ha. Chicago lumber merchants handle white pine exclusively, and the southern and south- western territory is the.producing center for vellow pine. = The roads ~ west of the Missouri river maintain that the Chicago roads, and the Chicago lumbor mer- chants are making this move in order that they can shut out the dealers in yellow pinc which is the principal grade of materiul used in Omaha and points in the contiguous terri- tory. An official of the Missouri Pacific said: “Let the Alton keep on and it will ind us camping with it. It is not the Alton’s desire to put in low rates as much as it is that ot the Chicago merchants. Under the the present rates we are able to bring the pine wto competition, and of course the re- duction from 16 to 10 cents in the Chicago freight_ rates would make a material_diffor- ence.

The great forest through which Stan- ley recently passed, which he estimated to cover 246,000 square miles, is only a small part of the great” African forest which extends almost unbrokenly from the west const inthe Gaboon and Ogowe regions, with atwidvh of several hun- dred miles, to the great lakes. This belt of timber, trending away to the heart of the continent in a direction a little south of east, 1s the greatest forest region in the world, according to the New York Sun: 4A part of strikes south of the Congo at the great north- ern bend of that¥iver, and the country embraced within 'the big curve is cov: ered with a compact forest, the tower- ing and wide-spreading trees shutting out a large part of the sunlight. In these forests; completely shut out from the rest of the world, live huun- dreds of thous#nds of people who are almost unknown tp the tribes living in the savanna regions outside. Scattered through the big wpods within the Congo bend are little communitics of Batw dwarfs, of whose.existence the traveler has no inkling until be suddenly comes upon them, Here also, along the San- kura river, are the tree habitations de- scribed by Dr. Wolf, where the natives live in huts buiit among the branches to escape the river floods. It was in great clearings made in these forests that Kund and Tappenbeck discovered some of the most notable villages yet found in Africa, where well built huts with gable roofs, line both sides of a neatly kept street that stretches away for eight or nine miles. These villages are even more interesting than the street towns in the more spursely tim- bered r outh of them, which wero rded as very wonderful when they t discovered by Wissmanun. It account of these villages that hop Taylor to choose this part of Africa as the goal he wished to reach Last year the Commercial compan which “is investigating the trade r sources of the Congo, sent its steamer the Rio des Belges, up the Ikatia river into this great timber land, and the ex- plorers described the country along the banks as ‘‘covered with an almost im- penetrable virgin forest.

Brave Conduct of Oscar Brinkman in the Samoa Storm. — A HARD FIGHT WITH THE WAVES. Washed Overboard He Returns, as it ‘Were, From the Grave, Bringing Succor to His Endangered Comrades, Fearless Oscar Brinkman, Fremoxr, Neb,, April 26.—[Spocial to Tnr Ber. ]I have just learned of an act of great heroism by & youth eighteen years of age, Oscar Brinkman, son of Henry Brinkman, of Seven Oaks farm, near Fromont. Young Oscar was a sailor on board the Vandalia when that ill-fated ship met with the late disuster in the hurricane in Samoan waters When the hurricane struck the ship all bauds were at-their posts. The anchors were cast, but 1t soon became evident that they would not hold the ship against the furious gale, and sho slowly but surely drifted towards tho surf, A tremendous sea struck her, sweeping over her, washing away many poor fellows, and clearing the deck of overy- thing which was not securely fastened. In the interval of quiet which followea the men took to the vigging and clung to the masts and spa Presently tho vessel gave heavy lurch before the gale, and many men and boys, including young Brinkman, were literally BLOWN FROM THEIR PLACES, and were left in the foaming surge. Brink- man struck out for life and in another min- ute succeeded in seizing a plank which had been washed from the deck of the steamer, and to which he clung with all his strength. Another terrible wave swept over the ship carrying with it Captamn Schoonmaker. He was seen by Brinkmann, but apparently quite stunnod or else exhausted 28 he made no effort to combat the eloments and was carried away by the storm and not again seen. Brinkman, whilst clinging to his plank and furiously driven about by the waves,saw one of his mates struggling in the water and nearly exhausted, and 1mmediately quitting his planuk seized boid of him by the hair and swimming with him again got_on the plank to which they both clung whilst the storm roared. All around MEN WERE STRUGGLING FOR DEAR LIFR 1n the surging, seething waters, Many were stunned or killed outright by beine dashed against, floating objects which had been washed from the storm-battered ship. How ever, these two on the plank were driven to- wards the shore. Time and aguin they were overturned and immersdd in in the sea. One tremendous wave drove them well up the beach; when the wave had receded thay were left in shallow water and abandoning their plank, they ran as fast as possiblo landward, but did not succeed in getting far encugh up not to be caught by the next incoming wave, which carcied them off their feet and bore them back with the outwash of the sea. They being expery swimmers, kept afloat till the next wave washed them shoreward, this time landing them further up than before. As soon us they felt the bottom they again ran with Lha;,rulmoqt speed, and got far enough up to be OUT OF DANGER before the wave returned. Half dead, as they were. Brinkman's first’thought was to rendor assistance o those on board the ill- fated ships. He secured a boat, and pursuad- ing some of the natives to accompany him, determined to again venture into the angry sea, from which he had so perilously es- caped. Three natives and himself manned the boat, and started with a rope to establish a line between the shore and the shipTrenton. the small boat was upset bwn into the sea and again Fortunately it ded in getting on soon righted and all suc ard her again, this time lashing them- to the scats. A small boat in sucn @ sea us was then running is very helpless. The rudder is usclessand the oarg, the only thing they had to depend on, matte the odds of their ever getting out of the sea alive fearfully against them. However, these brave fellows TOOK THEIR LIVES IN THEIR HANDS for the sake of saving their fellow men, and struggled against the infuriated elements, at one time their boat riding through on the crest of a tremendous wave und again_down in the trough of the sea out of sight of those on board the ship, who were breathless! watching the progress of their rescue whose success or fallure meant life or de: to them. Finally the boat reached the Trenton, and s rope was_safely thrown on board and ut. The lives of hundreds of brave e saved by the heroism of one youth—households wero saved from mourning—wives and children, sisters and brothers have cause to rejoice, Who, had 1t not been for the bravery of Oscar I3 man, the Nebraska boy, would have b stricken with grief and their homes into places of mourning. The countr h has reason to be proud of having such men for its defenders. Brave deeds have been done by our soldiers and sailors, but few can rank higher on the roll of honot than the hero of Samoa, Attempted Suicide. William J. Coots uttempted suicide last night by taking a dose of morphine. Why he desired to jump into the depths of the unknown is a mystery yet to his friends, as they cuaim he had no apparent reason 1o be distracted. The deadly drug was taken 1n a medicine shop.
