NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFES fohosl Board Members Finally Av.id the Ooal Uontraot, HOW IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT LAST, Carbon Company Will Furnish the uel—Other Subjects of fmport- ance Discussed — Exonerated Miss Wickham Entirely. There wero four members present last ovening at the meeting of the school board, held for the purpose of making another attempt to award the contract for furnishing the conl supply for the public schools during the present winter, Waite and Stacy were the absent members. Hunter moved that awarded to the Carbon Prosident Wells ruled th unnecessary, and a voto w. as follows: " Yeas, Wells Schoentgen and Shubert. the contract bo Coal company. v a second was taken resulting id Hunter; n Hunter then suggested that the basement of the Hill school be filled with coal, as the cold weather was d ng on, and when the hill became covered with snow and ice it would be next to impossible to have any coal delivered. Wells askea what price he was paying for coal now. Hunter replied that he was buying the fuel of the Carbon Coal company iith the understanding that if the contract should bo finally awarded to that company it should all be put in at the prico named in the bid, namely, £5.40. If, however, the contract should be awarded to somo othier firm the board would have to pay for it at regular retail prices, which fluctu- ate somewliat, but average about Schoentgen thought there was no hurry about flling the Hill scheol basement, and made a motion to adjourn until Saturday evening. ‘The vote on this resulted in a tie a3 before, Sichoentgen and Shubert voting in favor ‘afd Hunter and Wells against Wells then culled Shubert to the chair and made some remargs, in ‘hich he treated the members of the board in general to a hot roast for acting like overgrown schoolboys, meeting wnd adjourn- ing time after time, urale to sottlo a little coul matter that ougnt to bo settled by any business wan in five minutes. He read clip- pings from several papers by which ho tried to show that a coal famine was imminent, and he thought the matter ovght to be set: tled at once, Wells had just opened a package contain- ing two cigar boxes fillod with the two kinds of conl under discussion, and challenged the members of the board to toll which was the better, when Stacy rushed in very much ont of breath and took his seat. Wells moved again that the contract bo awarded to the Carbon Coal company. Hunter showed a letter by which he shoied that the actual cost of the coal which was delivered by the Carbon company at .49 was £1.15, and he thought the board was getting a rare bar- eain.He also mtimated thav Mr. Waliace, if awardea the contract, would not be ablo to furnish tho coal as agreed, on account of the rise in pric Schoenteen retorted that Wallace's word was as good as Clarke's, and if he agreed to furnish the coul at that fizure he would do it. Stacy said he had made an_investigation and had found that the coal offercd by the Carbon company was not so good as the other for use in furnaces or stoves and no better for steam heating, He shonld vote for Wallace. In order to shut off debate, Schoentgen moved the previous question, which was carvied, Schoentgen, Stacy and Shubert voting yeaand Wellsand Hunter nay. It was evident that Wells and Hunter were in a hopoless minority, and Wells theretore made a motion to award the coutract to Wallace at £.65, at the same time entering a protest against voting away 16 ceuts of tho public funds on_every ton of coal and stipu- lating that every ton must contain 20,000 pounds, After a hot discussion, which was again sbut off by the moving of the previous question, the coutract was so awarded everal communications were read relat- ing to an article that appeared in a recent Omaha_sectarian weekly, in which it was stated that Miss Kate Wickham, one of the public school teachers, had tried to inculeato ber religious belief in her pupils, and_had afterwards threatened to whip any of ner pupils until tho blood rar who should teli his or her parents what she bad said. The charge was stoutly dented by Miss Wickham, and a couple of letters were read from the mea upon whose author- ity the uewspaper article was al- leged to have been written, stating that they had never made any of the stato- ments with which they were credited. Upon motion of Membver Sctioeutgen a resolution was passed exonerating Miss Wickhuw from tho chargas mado against her and condemn- ing any such wrongful accusations made without a shadow of investization, After a few matters of minor importance had been passed upon the board adjourned to meet pgular session a week from next monday evening, at which time the final re- port of the committeo nppointed some two weeks ago to investigate the Cox-Shubert coal difficulty is expected to make a report, BUSTON STORE.

ONE A equently and None vir Die y ! where's the express office?”’ was the question that greoted the earsof a young man that drives a delivery wagon for S. T, MeAtteo, yesterday aftornoon as he was crossing a strip of prairie in the vicmity of the Union Pacific wransfer, The speaker was a man who had evidently spent his lifo in tho rural districts, and hi3 most marked features consisted of the hay seed in_his hair and a wila look about his eyes. He did not know which express office bo wanted to find, but mumbled something that led tho driver to infer that he had a very peculiat reason for wantiug to find the placo which he did not feel like im- parting to the public. Tho young man turned nterviewer, however. and in a short time learned that the same hairless and toothloss game had been worked on Mr. Verdant that has resultod in the easy trans for of s0 much wealth, The countryman had run up against a bunco man who was long on nervo but shorton cash, and had to have $125 with which w0 get somo of his prooerty out of the hands of tho hard hearted express company whose officers refused to let go of it until the requisite wherawithall should be forthcoming. That amount happened to be just what the accommodating granger had with him. and ho did uvot see that he was veing worked until bis new found friend had made off with tue cash and left him tho ex- perience. “The victim of the gamo reported tho caso to Depot Master McMillen, bat_rofused to give his name, and loft over the Rock Island for the east. 'He furaished a_description of the confidenco man to Mr. MeMillen also, and thero is a possivility of his being caught if he ventures about the transfer again, All the apples exhibited by the Horti- cultural sceioty have been given to the ladies of the Woman’s Christian associa tion, and are on sale at the exposition hall'by the peck or bushel. —— We have our own vineyards in Califor nia.

Meals were served all day by the ladies of tho Broadway Methodist church and wero well patronized. Booths have been fitted up by a number of the firms of the city, ana are presided over by some of the clerks, so that Christmas presents can be bought to good advantage, especially in the duy time, when the admission to the hall is freée. Some of the booths have been fitted up i an elaborate manner, among the finest exhibits being those made by the Boston store and Miss Ragsdale. In the evening a magnificent coacert was given by Hans Albert’s orchestra of Omaha. A fine program of ten numboers was pro- sented, every number being greeted with loud applause. The attendance was good, but not so laree as the excellence of the en- tertainment deserved. A fine program is to be presented this evening, and It is hoved that a large crowd will bo present.

Ward, the fellow whom Ofticer Kemp arrested Wednesday evening for picking tho pocket of Mrs. O'Donnell, had a hearing vofore Justice Swearingen yesterday after- noon. He told a somewhat clever story of bis connection with the case, stating that he was *merely running with the crowd after the thief when he was arrested, but it falled to go down, and he was bound over to await the action of the grand jury. His bond was fixed at $200, in default of which he was sent to the county jail. Mrs. O'Donnell has failed to findg any trace of the 10 which the purse contained, and it has probably been divided between Ward's two pals.

THE OTHER SID Tink Line People Talk About Ne- braska's Oil Inspection. The manager of the Consolidated Tank Line company was seen by a reporter yoster- day, and made the following statoment in behalf of the company, relutive to the recent article in Tne Bee concerning the oil inspection in Neorask: ““I'here has never been any oil rejected in Counell Bluffs and shipped over here. All oils of every description in tavks or barrols shipped into Nebraska are inspected by the state iuspector or his deputies, and every thing shipped here complies with the laws of tho state of Nobraska, The Consondated Tank Line company is open at any time for the inspection of their oils from their storehouses or warehouses in the state of Nebraska. ““The different tests made by Tur Be: in the city of the Tavk Line's oils ropresent a flash test of from 84 to (i, when the facts that all tests are identically the same, render- ing it impossible for this variance of figures, and proving that the parties making said tests are incompetent if they wero made by the cup authorized by the lawsbf the state of Nebraska. All the oils of the Tank Line are from 5 to 1) degrees above the requirements of the law, which is 100 flash, Tue Bee's quotations of the laws are also erroneous, Tik BEe claiming that tho original law was 110, which stould mean 110 five test. The present is 100 flash, the differ- e botween the two being from twenty to ty-five degrees in the Foster cup, there- fore the original law is about ninety flash test. “The present oil which is being supplica in Nebraska is the very safest, in fact is per- tectly safe, “As to the fire test, it is generally under- stood by the people at la'ge, that the higher the fire test, tho better oil. This is a mis- take. After oil hasasufficient fira test wo make it safe, that is all that is required, and making a higher fire test destroys the iilu- minating qualities,” TOOK CHARG 1 ELL. Omahy's Union Depot in the Posses- ston of a Vicious Dog. There was a great big smooth coated St. Bernard dog in the union depot waiting room last night which had everything its own way for a while. The animal had been left lying under one of the settees early in the evening and the owner had left on a train, forgetting his dog. About 10:30 o'clock the dog got tired aud took a stroll around the room. He repelled all the attempts of the depot at- taches to be fricndly and made two or three vicious jumps and snaps toward people who tried to make friends with his majesty. At last all the doors were opened and armed with brooms awd sticks the railroad peovle made an attack. In the face of the desperate throng and the great drray of im- plements of war the brute fled out of the depot and eastward down tho tracks. When he had disappeared tho brooms and stove pokers were put_back in_chelr usual places, the policeman slipped his revolver into his pocket, the two messenger boys who wit- nessed the affair chimved down off the benches and every onc breathed easier. THEY TOOK THEIR MEDICINE Two Women Enjoy Eig Drinks ina Tenth Street Saloon. It looks rather strange to see women in a saloon nspecially when they walk up to the bar and order a coupleof drinks, but that's what the habitues of a Tenth street. saloon saw last night and it nearly took their breatn away. About 10 o'clock two plainly dressed women evidently just over from Germany walked into O'Horne & Horrigan’s liquid re- freshment stand and after depositing their goods and chattels on the floor asked for a couple of glasses of kimmel. Evory one in the resort, including the bar- keaper, stared in amazement at the women, but no'one said a word., Two glasses wero produced by tho aisganser of drinks and u ig square bottle bearing a foreign label placed upon the counter. The strancers poured out about four fingers apicee, drank the stuff in silence, lald a quarter upon the counter and walked out. *That's the fun- niest fake I have seen in a long time,” said the barkeep as he washed the glasses, I wonder where those women came from.” So dud every one else. e Reinstated th witchmen, Superintendont Sutherland held a long conference with the Union Puacific switch- men last evening in regard to the discoarge of Switchmen Cluncy and I'rye by Yard- master McNeil. These men were laid off by the yardmaster for some petty offense and the switchien’s union took the case in hand and aemanded a consultation. The result was that Clancy and Frye were reinstated in their ola positions without loss of time which accision greatly pleased the uniou men. e FIRE RECORD. 08 Altos, N.
