The Dwyers iaughed at him. He im- mediately went around among tho clergymen and tried to get them to denounce horso rac- ing and the gambling incidental theroto. “Public sentiment was so strong,” he told & friend recently, “that nearly all the minis- ters wero afraid to offend it by attacking the racing_interest.

I'm no warrior, but when my living is ‘being taken away from me I'll give them astruggle for it. 1 don’t pretend that horse racing is the best thing in the world, but I say if betting is law- ful in the country it ought to be in the city. s he NANCY HAS A COLD.

Board Decides to Trust to Wehrer to Ventilate. Sanitary ventilation was about the first interestng subject brought before the Board of Education last night. The recent investigation made by Dr. Clark Gapen and others nad evidently pro- duced some effect upon thoe board. Mr. Babeock offered a vesolution to have a permanent committee on sanitation ap- pointed to look after all matters of sanita- tign comnected with the public school buildings. He supported the resolution by sayling that several members of the board had recently visited some of the school build- ings and nad found them in an unsatisfac- tory condition from a saunitary point of view, o thought it snould be made the duty of a special committee to look after all special cases where uusanitary conditions prevailed., Mr. Wehrer was upn arms against the resolution. He took it as being a direct slap at tho commitice on heating and ventilation, of which heis chairman. Mr. Wehrer re- minds one of what enius said to Coriolanus: “He is unschooled in boited language. e throws out bran and meal together without distinction I dis- cussing Mr. Babcock’s resolution Mr. Wehrer said “Tnem buildin’s has been heated and ven- tilated for years. If you liston to these felluz you would wonder how the children of Omaha live. They have some new schemes they want to shove in_here, but they won't get them in. If Mr: Babeock wants to ventilate anythiog I would like to see nim ventilate it right here.”” Mr. Babcoek’s resolution was defeated, and then he offered another ono to have a setof rules prepared by a special committeo for the guidance of teachers and janitors in veutijating the school rooms. This resolution was also distasteful to Mr. Wehrer and his friends. They held that the committee on heating ~and ven tilation was capable of handling the work that properly bolonged to it with- out the interfercnce or interposition of a special committen. Mr. Martin said that the board seemed to havo been taken with a special ventilation spasm, Ho thought it had been nduced by Dr, Ciark Gapen, who claimed to have found tho school buldings in very bad condition. Mr. Murtin thought the committee on heatmg and ventilation could_look after these matters if the chair- man, Mr. Wehrer, would take the trouble to call the committee togother occasionally Mr. Babeock's resolution was defeated After disposing of much routine work, during which Messrs. McConnell and Gibbs indulged in an interchango of perscnalitics the board went into committee of the whole on the bond proposition. Build- ings and sites were discussed at length. The report of tho committee was adopted, The following appropriations will bo rec ommended and bends will be asked to cover them School FOR BUILDINGS. igh sehool West O Frank!ln Cent Hurtman Lon Lothrop Windsor Saratogn ickor $1,000 000 100 25,000 Place 316,600 FOR SCHOOL Lathrop Fort Omahi Gibson Windsor Center.....

He is enthusiastic over his new acht, the Vamoose. He says the vessel is the fastest stoam yacht and he is prepared to back his opinion with money. She was mod- clod by the famous Fleresschoff brothers and was built with a view to speed. It was so late in tho season before she was tloated that he had no opportunity to meet all the very best yachts, but he hopes to give them a trial next’season. Mr. Hearst did not confirm the report that ho is to erect a magnificent building to cost £2,000,000 in Washington, which is to be used as'the headquarters of the Washington bureau of his paper and which is to bo the rendezvous of the Lundred or more newspaper corre- spondents at the national capital.

UNDER WHICH FLAG, FARMER? ! Questions Which Oonfront the Towa Gran- gors at the Present Timy, RIVAL ALLIANCES AND THEIR ENDS, iMorts Being Made o Load the Inde pendent farm rs Into the Third Party Camp—Des Mo Conventions, Des Moixes, gram to Tue F o annual of the lowa Fa alliance mieet in this city at 9 a. m, tomorrow promises to be oue of the largest and notable gathering of representativo farmers ever held in tho state. The success of tuis organiza tion is largely due to tho conservative policy adopted by its officers and to the push and energy displayed by a s of carofully selected local organizers, The alliauce, 8o far, bas kept measuravly free from all political entanglements, preferring to make its power felt in the party caucus. Among those who will bring credentials as delegates will be a number of former mem: bers of tho legislature and sov present candidates for both the houso and senate Hon. George Van Houtan of Taylor, tho re publican nominee for jovernor, 18 an active member of the alliance, and will undoubtedly bo hero s a delegato Some A During the past year the ag ers of the peoples independer been actively at work to switch off on_political lines and commit the organ ization to the third party movement. In the Lighth, Ninth aud Eioventh congressional districts their schemes were partially suc- cossful, and clated by thewr victory over their conservative brethren, they come to the state mecting with the avowed purpose of turning the alliance into a political machine to bolster up the fortunes of Westfall their candidate for governor and tho mainder of the independent ticket. All hopes of a harmonious meeting have heen i aside by both parties, and it will be war to the kuife from start to fiuish. The two oflicers of the stato alliance have been specially active in thwarting designs of the political tricksters are Stato Secretary August Post and W. N. Sargeant, lecturer for the state alliance, und against them the forces of the opposition will be rayed, President Furrow 1s serving his second term and will hardly be a candidate for re-election. As each loeal alliance and each county to throe delegates, the total attendunco may possibly reach 1,000, but as the remote counties arc generally ropresented by only & part_of their delegates the total umber will likely fall uudor half of that figure.

Tho sessions will be held in the Capital City opera house and all reporters and other outsiders will be ex- cluded though no great offort will be made to keep their deliberations secrot. This allance has never taken kindly to secret work, but rathor profers that the pub. lic shall have full knowledge of tha aims and objects of the organization Other Alliance Meetings. The session of the state allanco auxillary to the Southern Farmers Alliance and Indus- teful Union will also open tomorrow. As the constitution provides only for county repre- sontation the attendance will not exceed fifty or siaty, but will include scme farmers of statn wide reputation. Among those are ox-Senator C. .

Delogates Caucusing. Informal mzetings ‘are bemng held by the delegates to both ailiances, but in separate | halls. There are indications that.the inde- peudents have packed the alliance delezations | from several countics with their adhorents, and sent their strongest and. ablest speakers to lead the fight _in favor of the third party movement, So far only twenty-five or thirty dvlegates to the Soutnern alliance have arvived, including Campoell and Woshfall of Monona and Josepn of Union. Itis now | practically settled that a strong effort will be’ made to consolidate the two organizatious upon the Ocala piatform with some slight modifications, but the scheme will mcet with the united opposition of ail the delegates to the northern alliance who do not belong to the people’s party. The opposition to the sub-treasury lan is very pronounced among the more conserya- tive delegates, and should this measure be cudorsed an open rupture in the organization is sure to follow. The auditing committee has fluished the examination of the books of the secretary and treasurer and finds vouchers on file for every dollar expended. MINERS It SUMING WORK.
