The Farmers Off for Denver—Several Criminals Waive Examination—Ar- rested for a Grave Offense ~Minor Mention, The present school board is full of knots These knots have been the topie of talk for some woeks, Besides the knots in the board there has beon a split lately, four members, M Hunter, Blixsim, Stewurt and Waite, being on one side and Messrs, Wells and Schoet caused by atgen on the other. The split was concerning the high of which Prof. Stevens has been the princi av past. At o meeting of the board some time ngo the professor was offered the same position for another year, but before o contract was made there was a clond in the sky. Prof. Stevens is suid to have bean vory anxious for the high school department to be given a distinct jurisdiction, and taken out from under the control of Su periutendent McNaughton, who has charge of the entire schiool system of the city. To such at once raised, and the discussion developed the apparent animus of the move to be a dwsire on the purt of Prof. Stevens tocut loose {rom Superiut aighton on personal grounds. The two have been on formally fricndly terms, but they were not falling on cuch others necks in @ lobbering embrac . Prof. Stevens quietly inforn s of the board that he had discovered that the superintendent was not as well qualiffed for the position as he shonld be. This was rather a stariling discove a comparative stranger to make those who had known the superinend- ent for years hud been voting for his re- tention, and had watched with p ition given him in state and gathe In the support of position ¢ s went 8o far us to write out specifications, among which was one that the superintendent was not even a good speller. He eited as illustrations some ques- tions prepared for examination papers. There were some bad spells in these questions, but thoy were y explained by the fuct that they were mistakes of those copyiug _them, and not of the superintendent, whohad hur- viedly drafted the original questions, and © in the rush of duties had not compared the copies, expecting that Prof. Stevens would look them ov The mistukes even of the copyists were not serious, and thecharge when sifted was looked upon a8 too frivolous to warrant any serious consideration. The professar cliimed, too, that the superintendent was 00 far behind in his methods of teaching, and in fact that he did not want to teach under such @ man, On the other hand the superintendent's friends loughed at the ideaof a young man coming here as @ comparative stranger and assuming to pass judgmient upon the choice of theschool board, who velied upon their own knowled, of the superintendent’s qualifications and his conceded rank among the teacliors of the land. Tlie sheme for setting the bigh school apart from the school system of the city fell witha thud, It becume evident that there would bea lack of harmony in the workings of the schools if Prof. ens was retained, andso ata meoting or the board it was de- cided to him to resign, aud {oturm over immediately ords be- longing to the This action was taken when th :ly four members present, Messy hoentgen being abseut.” Thei WS unanimous so far as these four were concerned, but the ahsentees were hot when they heard of it. They ce discourteons, My, Wells med that Mr. Waite had agmed to way from the mectingand thus break uovim, so that no action would be taken 10 tho city. ied any such agree- ment and so some bitterness sprang up. The resolutions of the board have been treated with silent contempt by Prof. Stevens, wno has been waiting, relying on his friends to ave for him the ultimate justice which he d. The four members who had taken ion have been undor a strong pressure to get amodification ofit. Two of ¢ democratic members have been visited by jing men ju their party and avguments, promises and threats are suid to bave been snted in turn, he meeting of the board last evening was attended by ofl the members and enough citi- zens who had become interested in the con- troversy to flll the room and _occupy o striug tending @ long way into the hall. It was the regular mecting, aud demanded a ood deal of prelimmary work in_couhection With the opening of the city schools. A petition was prosented for the establish- ment of another school in the Sixch ward. The matter upon which all interest centered was brought up for discussion by the state- ment of Mr. Hunter that there were some members who complained that an unfair ad- vautage had been taken nt the previous meeting and thatit was desiced by them to have the action then taken rcconsidered and as parlinmentary usages domanded that themotion to reconsider be made by some member who was present, he was willing to make the motion. Before it was seconded Mr. Wells called for the reading of the min- utes of the last meeting, and the secretary was directed to comply. Aftor he hud finisbed Mr. Wells arose and explained that he was compelled to be absent at the time of the meeting, and that he had ar understanding with two members of the board that there should be no meeting, and he aesived to have the people of Council Bluffs understind thal he was not r ant to his duty and to understand, too, that the action taken by the members was unjustand took from him and his colleague on the teachers’ committee, Mr. Schoentgen, the opportunity to do their duty. In conclusion he asked forthe reconsideration of the action taken. all papers_and posit theq antil Mr. Wells should return Mr, Waite stoutly d clai theadvel Mr. Waite responded with equal spirit and emphatically denied that he had made any agreement ‘with Mr. Wells by which ne (Waite) was to remain_away for the purpose of breaking the quoram. said he had simply promised to see the president of the boavd and advised Mr, Wells tosce oth members. The question, Mr. Waite said, liad resolved itself into sinply one of veracity between Wells and bimself, Wells vesponded in a_ver by nssuTing the chiair that T willing to lot the question of veracity vest b fore the board and the public, ind vehemently asserted that there never was a time when oxeited manner e was perfectly bis word was rvightfully questioned. Thne gentloman grow earnest and was iuterrupted by Waite and Blaxsim, and the chair all the gentlomen to order. “Mr. Wai charged that I have fabricated the sto since I returned home,” continued Wells, 1 want to show that this charge is false. Tho s not on 1 e my word has failed to produce it promised, No alled has obligation have I aishonored. No se of | paper with my_nawme——" But thec zain - culled Mr, to order tioning him to a sonalities, Wells then made his motion to reconsider and it was seconded by Mr. Schoentgen, Mr, Blaxsim thought that if Mr, Wells had been in the school voardas long @ he had, and had been snubbed as often as ho had, he would not feelso badly. The teachers' com- mittee had no cause for cornplaint, Mr. Blax- sim stated, onaccount of the finance com- mittee having fixed the sulavies of the teach- ers. The motion to reconsider was then put and lost, the vote standing 4 to 2. Wells then offéred & motion that tho salary of the principalof the high school be placed at ¥1,600 u year: second nssistant, $100 per month; third assistant of the high school at $100; fourth assistant at §35 per month, ‘L'he motion wus lald ou the table with the samo 4 1o 2 votes, Mpr. Wells again moved tnat the resolution assigning the teachers at thoe last meeting bo \IJ M, reconsidered. This was opposed by Mr, Hunter, Mr. Waite put his lanc out agaln and | pricked Mr. Wells sharply, who roturned the | thrust with vigor, He denounced the action of the voard in summarily usurping the pr ileges of the \eachers' commitice au de- manded in the tame of the people that the teachers' commitiee be heard, and repelled the insinuation th\t they had been recreant to their duty, Another effort wajmade o pass the motion of Mr. Wells, but it \as a failure, Weils then' moved t\at the resolution call- the resiguatiodel Prof, Steyens be S~ | roconsidered. He knew of no reason why such an action should be taken. Mr. Waite said that Stevens was In open reballion against the board. President Stewart said he thought some l'w(]vhmul\ul\ was due from Prof. Stevens of his refusal to compiy with the ordersof the board, The vote onthe motion was 4 to 2 against it. The retary read the following resolu- tion, which was adopted after a bitter discus- Resolved, That the president and secre of the board beand they are b not w h Prof. Arvthur ry Ly Instricted CVens as a y any of the departments of our tor the coming years that any and all sations existing between the district and Arthur Stevens ns o teacher inour schools be und are hereby ¢ od.

If what was whispered and charged g street comers was true he wanted Prof. evens to g, but he demanded that the charges be formulated and put clearly befo the board and Stevens be given an oppol tunity todefend himself, The president and Mr. Waite were wiling to bear Prof. Stevens' explanation. Mr. Wells joined in the request and Prof. Stevens was brought before the bosrd and the original resolution calling upon him to return all pipers, ete, in his possession was_read to him. In his explanation he clained to have transmitted to the superintendent a part of the papers de- ist bim on the manded beforo the passage_of the resolution, inder of them he had Amitt and the rew the teachers’ co He was sharply given to e, Who now had them, ‘hised by Hunter, and the fact was ed that he had not used the questions p «d by the superintendent and presented by the board for his examin: tions, and had acted uponthe advice of t teachers' cormitt In r to interro tories by Wells, Stevens said the questions as pre »d by the superintendent were not fitted for thework of the pupils, and that there ¢ errors in them that called forth the derision of the pupils. In answer to questions as by Mr. Schoentgen, Stevens said he had kept the questions and examination papers in bis pos- session until he turned them over to the teachers' committee, for the reason thut he feared he would be refused permission to see them. The fact was broughtout that Stevens had cicculated a petition and presented it to the teachers' committee, asking to have tho high schc akken from the charge of the i ntendent, and the high school principal given exclusive care and maderesponsible ouly tothe board. In his petition the pro- fessor said the change desired was almost a universil custom, Letters were produced in contradiction of this assertion from nearly all the leading cities, showing that there was ot & single city whero such a custom pre- vailed. After a very bitter discussion, during which the gentiomen had great difficulty in restraining their tempers, and during which itwas shown that Prof. Stevens had with- Leld the examination papers on account of his belief that they constituted the only grounds tosustain his ct s against Superintendent MecNaughton, and did not consider them safe in the possession of the board, the resolution canceling Prof. Stevens’ engagement was called for but was not acted upon. Instead, it was decided to postpone final action until 100'clock this morning, and the board ad- journed until that hour. b Wall paper at nants, ut C, L, 1¢ conts not rem- i st Mandel in every line from 810 to £10.

The plan is to builda fint class modern pontoon bridge that will answer the demands for all kinds of traffic, that will be owned jointly by the two cities and will be free for footand team trafiic. The location selected will be above the motor bridge and now since Cut-Off island hus been annexed and gives promise of such great value asa part of the city, it is provable that tiie new structure will boused to unito these two portions of tho city. 1f Council Bluffs is to retain possession of the island it will be necassary to have it united divectly with the city by a bridge. It is not improbabie that the property owners on tho istand would ba willing tocontribute liber- ally to the scheme and when once under way there is no doubt but that capital will pour in faster than itis wanted, “The cost of the structure has not been as- certained, but it will not cost the amount reviously estimated, §100000. The Ne- raska City and Sioux City pontoons were built for 815,000, and it is safe to estimate the costof the structure demanded between the island and the Bluffs at $0,000. Sucha structure would give a_great impetus to that portion of Couneil Bluffs, and make another permanent bond befween the twin cities, It is only a questionof a few years when the Broadw bridee will be insufficient to ac- commodate the trafic between the cities, and tho building of the pontoon atthe present time will notbe in erroneous anticipation of the demauds, SR The Manhattan sporting headquarters, 418 Broadway.

Gossage, editor of the Rapid City Daily Journal, were inOmaba yesterday, returning home from the republican state convention held at Mitch- ell, The geutlemen paid Tug Bee a pleasant call, and in speaking of the development of the minug interests of the Hills, Mv. Hare said: “Hill City is situated exactly in the center of the tin belt now being developed by the Harney Peak tin mining, milling and mun- ufacturing company.

Be- foro we hiad prohibition we had three saloons in Hill City —now we have twelve, and they are the vilest dives that you could possibly imagine, Where we saw one drauken man before we had prohibition, we see ten now. Hill City gave a majority of twenty-seven for prohibition, but if there was a vote taken today nine-tenths of the people would vote for a return of the liceuse law.” “Is there any effort beiug made to suppress the saloons ¢ “Yes, but it is of mo use. They closea saloon up fora few days and then it opens again. The boot-legger and hole-in-the-wall men are coming in, too, and the situation is just about as bad as it could possibly be. But HIll City Is_going to the front in a com- mercial and manufacturing way that will o everybody within a year.

Marohn of Chicago registered at the Merchants' hotel and had his baggage taken to room 77, which he con- tinued to occupy until Saturday last, when hedisappeared from the hotel without lea ing any word as 10 where he was going, how long he intended to be away, or auy: thing of the kind. Mr. Marhn ap- pared to bo very much of a gentleman, and there are parties in Omaha Who know him and who say that he has cer- tainly not meant to leave the city abruptly Fle hins either forzotten to leave word with the clerk regarding his absence and his inten- tion to return,or he has been foully dealt with. He left all his baggage just as though he would be bac in a few hours, and this fact pgives the situation @ singular and suspicious phege, The absent man 15 a merchant tailor by trade aud seemed 10 be in good spirits and carried with hin an air of prosperity and vusinesslike self spect that removes all suspicion of crooked- ness on hispart.
