NON-PARTISAN CANDIDATES, Names of Those Selected For Places on the School Board. A WELL ATTENDED MEETING, First Steps Taken in the Effort to Eraaicate the Party System ¥rom Elections of This Oharacter. Ohosen For Their Fitness. Representative citizens filled the board of trade rooms last night in response to a eall for a meeting to nominate a non-partisan ticket to be presented at the election for members of the board of education, to be held on Monday next. The meeting was called to order by Mr. M. C. Burr, Mr, John D. Howe was chosen as chairman and Mr. W. S. Poppleton as secretary. Upon taking tho chair, Mr. Howe said: “Gentlemen, I don't know whether it is quite the proper thing for a chairman, called #s I have been and honored as I have been by your selection, to commence an addre Certainly, I shall not make any extended re- marks upon taking this chair, thanking you for the honor conferred. But I desire to say that [ have no doubt whatsoever, that all here present feel as I do with reference to the matter. The election of the members of the school board should be lifted entirely out of politics, and there should not be a man a member o f that board who is not only a man of good business judgment, but a man of good average education, and above all things a man of the most sterling integrity, With no jobs to get through and no axcs to grind, wholly incorruptible and unapvroact- able to those contractors or persons who come here to foist upon us school books, furniture or anything of the sort. We need honest men. There is a deep and settled conviction in this community that we are going to have that kind of men if we can get them. Many men iv this city will do what I shall do; that is, they will gev together all the ticketa in the field and carefully and sin- cerely serutinize every name upon every ticket, and make up a ticket to vote, consti- tuted of the best meu upon all the tickets hout regard to politics or party aftilia- lls were made for Mr. . Rosewater. who, in stating the object of the mecting, “Gentlemen of the board and fellow citi- zens: 1f I remember corrcctly, the legis lature of this state, four years ago, made the law changing the method of electing boards of education in cities of the first class. Omaha at that time was the only city of the first class in the state, and for' Omaba this law was especially aesigned. It was a new departure for Omaha, We had elected all our school boards at the regular elections for municipal and_county officers. I that I was personally the promoter, jector, rather, of the first movement to make school board elections in Omaha popular, that is, to submit. to the people the choice of those who are to manage the schools. “In 1871 when we had two different school hoards, one known as the directors of the school district and the otaer as the regents of the {Omaba high school. The common schools were zoverned by a body of men who put themse,ves up at a caucus, beld usually by about a dozen persons, elected a treasurer, and conducted the schools in their own way, very often in defiance of public sentiment. On the other hand, some Rentlemen connected with the uppor crust of Omaba society had surrounded themselves with a good deal of glory by becoming re- gents of the Omaha high school, and, en- trenched in that power, created for them by a special act of the legislature, they refused to have anything to do with the common school board, and even went into law suits with that body. *“To do away with this conflict and abuse of power I had introduced in the legislature of 1571 the first act creating boards of educa- tion in the city of Omaha. By that act the common school board and regents of the Omaha high school were abolished and the citizens of Owmana were required two 1mem- bers from each ward, who were o constitute the board of education. ““Well, the world moves, and as_time pro- gressed it was discovered that this election of members of the school board by wards was not very satisfactory. It resulted sim- ply in ward representation, and the local managers of the ward caucnses and packers of vrimaries managed to give us members of the board of = education who were ciosely connected with them in ward work, and the result was that very often inferior men found places on the board. “Then a chanre was made, and instead of electing the board of education by wards and precincts, we elected, if I remember right, one-half 'of the board by wards and the other half at large. Finally, the law was changed again, and we have been electing the entire body at large. The change of four year ago went beyond and above all party questions, and the school board was taken clear out of politics by the provision that the election of the board of education should be on a different day than that on which other municipal officers were elected. The franchise in school board elections was extended to all mothers of children attending the schools, and to all women of age paying taxes, “So, then, the object of the law manifestly was to enlarge the scope of the election, to sever any connection between the political varties and members of the board of educ: tion, and to elevate the standard of the public schools out of politics and any con- Dection with politics, and in_order, also, to take the common schools out of the rut of ward politics. *'A provision was made that only one-third of the members ot the board should be elected each year, and that the total number of mem- bers of the board should be fifteen. In view of the fact that we have nine wards and are only to elect five members of the board of education, it is impossible that trades can be made that would give each ward a mem- ber of the school board. And in view of the further fuct that all electors may choose members irrespective of wards, it may come to pass that one ward has four or six of the members to bo elected; and as far as that is concerned, if these four or six members are food men of intelligonce and capability, no harm is done. What we want is a first class board of education. “But in uixiw of the law, every effort has been made during the past four or five years by some of the party managers to perpotuate thie old system. They insist that there must be primaries und ward gaucuses, that dele- Botes meot in convention, trade and put up and that we must choose members P R kets, and nowhere else. Well, we all understand’ that when a pon is elected by convention he feels in honor bound to allegiance to his makers, and that when any patrouage 18 10 be distributed through him or his influence he must first fuyor those who have favored him. 1tisa common and proper rule that men will help those who belp them, and not those that nt, “1t is to avoid all obligations of this char- scter, to placo the board in & position en- tirely free and untrammeled in the excreise of these powers, that the law governing the ection of inembors of the board of educa- tion was framed. in view of the fact that the board expends yearly betwoeeu $200,000 and 300,000 m salaries and expenses, and sometimes as much as $200,000 more for school buildings, ete,, that our citizens and taxpayers think it high time to take a live interest in the eiection of this board, and sce to it that henceforth the public schools b® iv the hands of clean, capable and antelligent men, and it is for that purposs that this moeting is called. ‘It may take several elections and severa! combats before we thoroughly eradicate the party system from the schools but we ropose 1o move forward in the work until he evil is abolished, even if it takes ten or fitteen years. I hope, wy friends, thut we Do abloto proosed lu th 0d work without any preliminary arrangement or understanding, and, indéed, it is clear that there can he no nndnnundluu in & meeting of this character. I now propose that you bring forward the names of men whom you think weli qualited to serve s members of the | board. These five members can hnnmlubed to-night, und if the party con- yentions of to-morrow indorse the gentlemen mamed here to-vight, well ana .uod but in woy event I advocate ltleklntx the nomi- moes of '.Nlmunnz -ndsang 0 the polis and doing what we can Lo t them.” The names of the folluwing gentlemen nnl presented for the consideration of the meeting: C.

Fire Causes Great Damage to 1ack's Clothing Store, At 11 o'clock Jast night fire was discovered in the second story of A. Polack’s clothing store at 1316 Farnam street. Before the fire- men arrived the flames had caused the break- ing of all the windows in Lhe rear of the building and one of the plate glass windows in frout. ‘The firemen soon had the flames under control, The five originated in the second floor of the building, which was hlled with overcoats and furnishing goods. The entire stock on shis floor, valued at about $20,000, was de- stroyed by fire and water. The stock on the sceond floor, valued at ), 000, lamaged by water. ‘The origin of the fire is unkuown. Mr, Po- lack, the proprietor, is in Cheyenne, and will not be at home uutil to-morrow.

He is Responsible for a Rather Lively Rumpus, Tho publication of the rumors against the morality of cer tain members of the school board and teachers in the public schools in this city, attracted gencral attention yoster- day, and induced Tnr Brer to interview a number of parties directly inwerested, as fol- lows : Paul Vandervoort was asked by a reporter as to what information he had in substan- how in a tiation of the charges. He could, ever, be induced to talk only general way. At the meeting Thursday night,” said he, “T knew nothing positive, yet I had heard so much talk that, when Colonol Aiken sprung the mattor, I concluded the best way to get at it and find out facts would be to send in a shot at random. “You ought to have seen the breezo my little bomb created. After the meeting ad- journed every man bogan to tell what he knew. Sholes amused us all. He displayed a great desire to clear himself of any blame, though ho seemed to have as much knowledge as any body else about the rumors of immorality and corruption in the school board aud among the teachers.’ T'he talk with Mr. Vandervoort indicated that all this stir and threatened exposure, has, for its object, the decapitation of Super- intendent James, “That mun,” continued the postofice ofMicial, “has outlived his use- fulness in this town. He is becoming too much of an autocrat. Only teachers who fuil at his fect and worship him can hope to become principals, For this reason, there are several ladies much better qualified and more competent than some occupying the best places that have been kept down for years and will be whi there, 1 am personally famil- iar with one instance where strong influence was brought to bear in behalf of a certain toncher who waated a principalship, but be- cause of her rather independent attivude, tho effort failed. This occurred four or five years awo. She is one of the very best teach- ers, still can’t get a position above the lower grades. On the other hand it is well known that James has elevated women, who are wholiy incompetent, simply because they fall ut his feet and worship him. 1t is also a notorious fact that he sits @own on the school board nightly. ““Who are the fifty teachers reading Boo- 's ‘Decameront’ 'hat I can’t tell you.” “Where did they buy them?" “I understand, of the old antiquarian on Farnam street,” “Isn't the book one of standard classics ! “Certainly, and can be found in every first- class lib; , but we don’t want its influence engrafte uto the minds of our boys and Riris through their teachers.” ‘‘Whom are these inuendoes about immor- ality supposed to hit1"” “Well, name is_quite freely used. but T Imvc no mefhs of knowing that any of the stories are true. You know how such things fly when they get started. And generallyewhere there is so much smoke a littie fire can be found. ““What doas the Seventh ward oxpect to accomplish?” “We want men in the school board against whom there can be no suspicion; we want an investigation into the conduct of Henry M. James as superintendent, and we want his favoritism wiped out.” Mr. Henry M. Japes, superintendent of the city schools, was seen in regard to the charges brought against him by J. W. Eller at the Seventh ward republican caucus Thursday night. “The charges are very vague,” he said, ““and, on that account unjust, as many coug, structions can be put upon thom. If Mi% Eller means that 1 have been immoral in any way, he is greatly mistaken, as any person who knows me can tell you. If reports are true some of the men making the charges last_night are not above reproach themsclves. Vandervoort, for in- stance, may turn out like the fellow in & crowd who commenced yelling ‘stop thief’ and the result_was that the fellow himself was discovered to be the thief and was ar- rested. “‘Vandervoort charges that many teachers are purchasing immoral books. I know noth- ing of this. But there were two lady teachers here this morning who asked me what ‘*Boccaccio's Decameron’ was and I could not tell them as I had never read or even seen it. “‘Probably Mr. Eller means that I have teen guilty of favoritism, as was alleged.in a cowardly, anonymous lettor in my late ab- sence. This is false, and comes only from disgruntled teachers who have not been given the advancement of which they deemed themselves worthy. I have striven to do my work iu an impartial manner, and to do this 1 have to say ‘no’ to teachers who are clamoring = for better positions and better pay when there are others better fitted for the place asked for. I'll warrant that if you ask any teacher in the city who is complaining of my being partial, whetber or not_she has not sought for a better position and failed to get it, that 1f she answers truthfully she will say ‘yes.’ ‘There are others who are relatives of teachers and who wish these ladies to have their interests looked after at the sacrifice of everybody’s else. Thus there is a member of the board who is bitterly opp to me be- cause I will not fall in with in a seheme to increase his sister-in-law’s salary.” Sgveral book sellers, when asked if they hud sold copies of Boccacio’s ‘‘Decameron’” to teachers, stated that they had not, so far as their information went. One of these gentlemen had not sold twenty-five copies of the work in twenty years, and the other had sold several copies of it ten years ugo, but only one had been purchased by u lady. Messrs, Coburn, McConnell, Morrison, M.llard, Sholes and Clarke, members of the board of education, were interviewed as re- gards the alleged charges of immorality among mempers of their body and the teacn- er nd declared that they had no knowI- edge whatever in the premises. The Book and Its Sale. With reference to Boccacio's ‘‘Decame- ron,” of which, it is alleged, over forty cop- ies were purchased by school teachers of Omaha, it may be said that the book was written in 1853, The tales it contains have extraordinary literary merit, and are esteemed models of style, but some of them are extremely obscene. The Decameron, it is claimed, was written at the request of Joanna, queen of Naples. Shakespeare derived the subjects of several of his dramas from the work. 'THE COURTS. Cases on Trial Before the Federal and District Judges. J. C. Smiley formally entered into partnor- ship with Samuel Clevenyer, of Randolph county, Indians, to carry onareal cstave business in Omaha. In part payment of his share of the profits, Mr. Smiley has been un- able to secure absolute possession of some property, according to a petition filed in the district court yesterday, and asks an order of the colirt to grant the title to the prop- erty.

Wilson vs. De IForest Rich- ards, a suit on a contract for the sale of pro- perty, was given to the jury at noon. The habeas corpus case, Louis B. Miller vs. Thomas K. Burroughs, is now occupying the court. The story of this case is briefly as follows: The parties resided at Talmadge, this state. Miller married a daughter of Burroughs. She died leaving a little daughter seven months old. Miller gave the child to its grandparents. He afterwards left Nebraska and went to Ohio and married hen brought suit in the Otoe t court to regain possession of his child. The case went against him, and a second suit was brought, which also resulted unfavorably to the plaintiff. The case was then carried to the United States court on a writ of habeas corpus. “THAT WAS MY SISTERI” The Strangely Tragic Story of One of the Whitechapel Victims. In his speech at the Presbvterian Syncd on Tuesday evening, says the London Telegraph, the Rev. John Mac- Neill created quite a sensation by tell- ing the following tale: He was speak- of temperance, and said that last Sun- day (when he preached a temperance sermon st the Tabernacle) he received a letter that had heen written by u lady on the danger of the use at communion of fermented wine. The lady in her lettor told wsad story of an inherited passion for drink. There were four or five of them,several brothers and two sisters, the children of intemperate avents. Hor sister had unfortunately inherited the craving, and before she was fourteen had taken to driuk. . The others bécame converted and did all in their power to cure their sister; but it was of no use. The sister at length married comfortably, and chil- dren were born. But the craving for drink grew greater and greater, and at length she was sent to a home for ine- briaves where she stayed a year. She left appavently, said the sister, a changed woman. Soon after, however, her husband caught a severe cold, and before going out one morning drank a glass of hot whisky—taking care, how- ever, not to do so 1n the presence of his wife. Then, as was his custom, be- fore leaving kissed his wife. At once the fumes of alcohol passed into her, and in an hour she was a drunk and roaring woman. She went from worse to worse, and at last left her husband and her children, one of them a cripple through her drunkenness. The Eus- band died two yeurs ago, a white-haired and broken-hearted man, though only forty-ive years old. ‘“Need I add." said the sister in her letter, ‘‘what be- came of her? Her storyis that of Annie Chapman, one of the recent Whitechapel victims. That was my sister!” Frederick Von Bodenstedt. The celebration of the seventieth birthday of Frederick von Bodenstedt, the most famous of living poets in Ger- | many, has assumed world-wide propor- tions, says the London Globe. His pecuniary meansin this, the evening of his life, have proved to be unequal to his fame, and an appeal has been made to Germans, thronghout not only the fatherland, but fhe entire world as well, to help to present him with such a sum of money as will vlace him beyond all momentary anxiety and surround him with all possible comforts for the re- mainder of his days. To this end there has been one fund in London, another in Manchester, a third in New York, and others elsewhere, 80 that all together it is expected a substantial sum will have been raised. Bodenstedt’s place 1n literature has long been defined. His reputation pre- vails wherever the German tongue is spoken, but it rests on one book. He wus a writer of lyrics, litery history, translations, plays, epics and stor as the author of “The Songs of Mirza-Schaffys’ that be is really known among. men. That one book, small though it be in size, will nevertherthe- less be suflicient to make the name of Bodenstedy 'a household word among German geserations after everything else he wrote is forgotten. The fact that in tho thirty-eight yoars that huve elapsed singe it was published it has passed through nofewer than 130 edi- tions is syfiigient to show that **Die Lie- der des l\ilup-firlmll’y must be & note- worthy book and its author a man in whose his| Zmy English readers as well as Germgns Mmay take an interest.
