8 BOARDOF EDUCATION MEETING Recommendations, Resolutions and Other Business Transacted. ORATORICAL GLIGHTS OF MR WEHRER Kellom School Give Rise to Much Discussion—Avallabl Present on Hand in the Tre Details of the Meeting, Bteps for the Funds at sury— Vice-presidenc W. N. Babcock presided At tho Board of Education meeting last night. Superintendent Firzpatrick recommended tho pstablishment of an ungraded school where girls and boys who have falien behind may be given special instruction in those branches in which they are deficiont and thus prepare them for regular work again. Ho states that such schools had been tried in other cities and had proven to be very prac tical. He recommended that tho ungraded school be located whero the p upils from the Long, Lake, Kellom, Izard and Cass schools cound attond. Superintondent Fitzpatrick was granted o leavo of absence from February 13 to 20, to attend tho meeting of the National Associa. tion of Superintendents in Brooklyn, where ho is to deliver an address upon' “What Should the State Do for Childreu Between the Ages of 3 and 6 Years!” Funds on Hand, The treasurer's statement was read and showed the following funds on hand to the credit of the school board: General fund, 10, sinking tund, 751,08, A 'petition signed by about twenty citizens asking for the establishment of a special school for all pupils who had fallen behind in their studies was presented. Referred to the committee on course of study, Tho first catyclasm of oratory broke forth over a resolution introduced by Mr. Martin, avthorizing the contractor on the Kellom school to put in oak steps of one solid piece instead of. two or three pieces glued to- gethor. Mr, Morrison objected to the resolution. He declared that the steps mado of two or threo pieces and glued together wero better than steps made of a solid piece. Ho thought the solid piece steps would warp with the heat. And then Mr. Wehrer opened his throttle valve and gave the boura a sample of oratory resembling the calliope solo in a circus pa- rade. The talk of Sparticus to the gladiators was asummer idylus compared with Mr. ‘Welrer’s effort. He favored the glued steps and declared that the recommendation favor- ing steps made of a solid piece was simply the vaporings of somebody who aidn't know the difference between an ok step ana a corn- cob pipo. ‘Lho board enjoyed a laugh over Mr. Wehrer's outburst, and then the discus- sion went right along. Mr. Mengedoht, the contractor, was askod to say a word. Hesaid he would make the stes cither solid or in pieces just as the board wanted them. Tho resolution authorizing solid piece sieps was adopted. Clatms Ordered Paid, The committee on supplios was instructed to take action upou the matter of furnishing scats for the Kellom school. The committee was authorized to use all the old seats not 1n use and advertiso for bids upon any new seats that might be needed to supplement the old ones. The committeo on claims reported salaries and bills due amounting to $36,146.06 which wore orderod paid. And then the du ssion drifted toward the cesspool of the Walnut Hill school. Mr. Morrison reported a claim for cloaning tho aforesnid cesspool, but said that tho suporin- tendent of buildings had told him that the bourd had boen paying too much for the work, as the cesspool was not 50 largo as the scavenger had reported. A good deal of discussion was indulged in ovor the mattor, and finally the bill was re- forred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Elgutter offered a resolution authort 1ng the secrotary to draw up a general state- mont of the number and character of the buildings tobo erected this year and tho character of the work that will bo required of tho architects who have becn asked to bid on the work, so that they might bid intel- ligently upon'tho job as a whole, The resolution Was brought out by the fact that a resolution had been passed at a previons meeting calling for propositions from architects upon all the architectural work tp be done by the board this year. Mr. Elgutter said that the fornior resolu- tion was too vague. Tho architects, he said, could not tell how much work tho board might require or how rapidly the plans might be demanded. Mr. Martin said he was opposed to giving tho architects tho inside track upon tho matter. There were the buildings to be put up plainly stated upon the ballots which uoted the bonds. The architects coula cel tainly read and they certainly ought to know how many plans would be nceded, and_thay ought to know by reading the cost of tho buildings somothing about the character of the plans required. g Mr. Popploton spoke in a similar strain. He said the architeots might bid on tho work intelligently by reading over the ballots used at the recent bond election and thereby learn the number of buildings to be erected. Each architect should understand that ho would bo expected to do all the work, and to do it in proper time. Mr. Morrison thought that no one man could get out tho work 1o time, Architects, Not Farmers, Gibbs replied that the architects who would bid upon this work were not farmer: they were men who employed numerous assistants, The board would 0ot expect one man to prepare these plans. He might employ twenty men to get out the plans, but the man employed by the board would be held responsivle” to the board. Mr, Martin said that when the board made a contract with & man to put up ‘8 building i1t was nou expeoted that the contractor should do all the work with his own hands, neither should it be expected that the archi- tect employed to furnish plans would do all the work himself, Mr. Martin believed that tho board would save 0,000 by employing an architect to do all the work for the year Instead of advertising for plans for each building and paying 3 per cent of the cost price of all the buildings for the plans. ‘I'he resolution was referred to the commit- Im: on buildings and property with power to act. Mr, Gibson offered a resolution to promote the study of mental arithmetic in theschools. Reforred to committee on text books and course of study in conjunction with the superintendent of schools, And then thero was a breeze from the Kel lom school. It came in with a resolution by Mr. Powell authorizing the superintendent of buildings to examine the floors (n the Kel- lom school and ascertain if they had boen laid {n accordance with tie plans and speci fications, The resolution was adopted without dis- cussion, On the quict it was learned that several partios had stated that the contractor had failed to put down paper between the floovs, 88 required by the specifications and the con. tract, The matter will be carefully investi- gated. Dr, Mr. Wehrer Makes a Hit, And then Mr. Wehrer made the greatast kit of his career in the school board by offer- ing the following resolution : hat the-clty comptroller be r turnish to this bourd an itemz the expenditures of the city officiuls: nuwmely, the mayor, oity council and all the city of: ficlals, their purpose and the salury attiched to ‘their positions, inoluding ail tnelr pointees, namely, Inspeotors, clerks, ete. for what purpose; and, furtliermore, what biua pecome of all the fines' and costs for the lust iwo years collected in the poliee court. ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted Mr, Swmyth offered another resolution, calling upon the council to account for the funds collected for permits and !icenses that bave never been turned into the school fund. ‘Th's resolution was also adopted without a dissenting vote and the board, baving gotten even with the council lo the resclution busi ness, adjourned. ————————e Over 8,000 merchants handle Union s0ap in tho west. uested to nt of e kS Philip Will Gracefully Submit.

Mr. Thomas Kilpatrick opened the argu ments for the evening, choosing as his topic the question **Has Our Financial Legislation Been in the Interest of the People!” Mr. Kilpatrick read a lengthy and carcfully pre. pared address on financial legislation, and whetber it had been wise and in keeping with the best knowledwo of our age. He quoted statistics of coinage and gave the history of silver and gold coin from 1780 up to the present day. Tho great financial question was_thoroughly discussed in Mr. Kilpatrick’s able paper, and at tho close he was loualy applauded. Hon. T. B.

Gring's undertaking establishmert Sunday, rumors of a new building on tho sito of the row of one-story structures on Farnam streot botween the Chamber of Com- merce and Seventceuth street have been floating around. Mr. Sweesy was seon by a BEE reporter yestorday afternoon and asked if there was any truth in the rumors. ““Yes,” said Mr. Sweesy, “I have been thinking of putting up a_large, substantial brick structure covering the entire lot, 60x152 feet, and to be six storios high. For' 'some time past 1 have been nogotiating with the Dewey & Stono Furniture company to erect the building for them. As yet no definite conclusion nas been reached on account of a difference of opinion in the matter of rental. 1f the bloox if put up I want to lease it for a long term of years and this is a bad time to enter into long leases on account of the dull times. However, 1 think that an agreement will ultimately be renched.” Itis understood that Mr. Sweesy wants #12,000 per year rental and the Dewey & Stone company only offer $10,000.

County Ca ssloners Hold a Star Cham- The county commissioners have at last de- cided to plunge the knife into the salaries of the employes about the court house and jail. Yesterday afternoon the entire board formed itself into # committee of the whole and closeted itself behind locked doors, with Major Paddock in the chair. The heads of the several departments wero served with notices to appear and show where cuts could be mnde, The entire time, however, was spent with County Clerk Sackett, but’ just whut was accomplished, no persons other than those who attended 'the star chamber mecting, knows. It was stated that the commissioners pro- posed a gonoral cut all arouud, but_never a word did they say about cutting their own salaries of $150 per month, L Ask your grocer tor Quail rolled oats, RAGRAPHS, G.

M, Hunt's Building Vigorously Discussed Money Bet Can Be Collected—Murder- ously Assulted and Robbed T o Experience Witha Gang of Toughs. Vice Prosident M. R. Murpliy presided at a well attended meeting of the South Omana Live Stock exchange yostorday afternoon at 3 o'clock. It was the regular monthly meet- {ng, but the large attendance was due to the fact that final action was to be taken on the proposed amendment abolishing prepaid market messages to country shippors, The members of the exchange were protty ovenly divided on the question. The pack ers, shippers, scalpers and stock vards rep- sentatives with some of the leading commls- sion houses wero opposed to the amendment, whils the majority of the commission firms were strongly in favor of it. The same was true at Chicago and Kansas City, where a similar rule is on tho books. A motion was made to call the roll and record each momber in black and whito on the proposition, but this idea failed te meet approval by a vote of 24 to 34, Tho meeting then proceeded to vote by bailot, each mem- ber as his name was called placing a *“for"’ or “against” ballot in the box. There was con- siderable excitement throughout, but appar- entiy no hard teeling roused. 'The amend- ment finaily carried by tho close vote of 3 to 30, It is a question whether the rulecan bo en- forced, but 1ts friends sy it can and will and that it will result not only in a_big saving to commission firms, but in more evenly dis tributed recoipts and consequently in fewer fluctuations in market prices, Tho amendment goes iu force at onco and is as follows, Kule 9, section 13: 1t shall be deemed a violation of this rule for any member of this excyungo or firm of whichhe may be a member dF employe to pre- pay Or in any way become responsiblo for the piayment of any telegram or telephone mes- saze sent giving informutlon concerning the condition of the stock muarket, except to give actunl sales of stock mude for the party to whon! su i or telephone messige is sent on day such sale is made, and quoting therein the condition of the market.

The remarkable suit 1 which Thomas O'Neil suod to recover $100 won from John McMillan in a bet has been finally decided by Judge Levy. His honor declaros that the winner of the bet wins the suit and Georgo Parks, the stakeholder, is ordered to sur- render to O'Neil the $100 put up by Mec- Millan. “Mac" is very indignant at this decision and after his honor handea down the same yesterday the remarks made by MecMillan were anything but complimentary. Heo capped the climax by threatening that in threo months he would have Judge Levy oft the bench. : Tho case has attracted a great deal of at- tention in South Omaha, not only on account of the prominenco of the persous concernod but because of the popular query: “Can money lost on & bot be collected In the caso under consideration McMillan had put up $100 on a bet that he could de- liver within a certain time alottoa customer of O'Neil's for $I O'Neil bot that he could not and ' the proper papers were drawn up. McMillan lost, but instructed the stakeholder not to surrender the $100 put up by him. O'Neil brought suit 1o recover this money from Parks, the stake- holder. McMillan as intervenor took the place of the nominal defendant. The defense dwelt mainly on the allegation that betting was illegal and thereforo the money could not be coliected. Judge Levy held that the statute prohibiting botting mentioned only gambling institutions and appliances, and further that as work and labor were necessary to secure the lot and deliver the same that thero was no gambiing or gambling appliauco about it that is cov- Ly the statutes. He thercfore gave judgment to the winner, O'Neil, for the full amount. Tho greater part of the costs, those of in- terventicn, were assessed to McMillan, the loser of the bet. The other costs will be paid by O'Neil, the winner, as his honor held that Parks, the stakeholder, was an inno- cent party and should not bo made to suffer any loss, City Council, The construction of ‘*Hunt's chicken coop,”” a8 Councilman Walters terms iv, was consid- ered at length by the city council of South Omaha last evening. The building in ques- tion is & wooden shanty being erected inside of the fire limits by C. M. Hunt, one of South Omana's wealthiest citizens, permission hav- ing been granted by the councilat a previous meeting. Councilman Walters daclared that according to the promise of Mr. Hunt the structure was to be of sheet iron and was to havea gravel roof; that the building was about completed and it wus all of wood. Mr, Walters therefore moved that the building inspector be instructed to inspect the build- ing in question and see if it was being con- structed in accordance with the ordinances governing the construction of buildings in- side of the fire limits, The motion prevailed after cousiderable aobate, A sidewalk was ordered put in on the wost side of Twenty-first street from G to J. Mr, O'Rourke, the temporary chairman, called attention to the fact that the poor eople of South Omaha were utterly ignored y the county commissioners and declared that not a pound of coal or flour or any other necessity had been given to the indigent of South Omaha this winter. He theyefore ap- pointed Messrs, Haley and Bowley as a com- mittee to act with himself in looking after the matter, J. C. Norton of Norton Bros. demanded of the council that his claim of §1,743 grading against the city be allowed so he could draw interest on tne money. was informed thit the matter was under consideration by the proper committee, Messrs, Wood, Walters and Rowley were appointed a committeo to consider the mat- ter of a city hospital and to find a building saitable for such a purpose, The city attorney was instructed to asce! tain why South Omaha did not receive her share of road tax from the county. The monthly salaries of city officials were allowed, Robbed and Left for Dead, A boid case of highway robbery occurred on F street near Syndicawe park about 4 o'clock yesterday, a Swede named Carlson being the victim.

Voss, who keeps a boardiog house at the corner of Sixteenth and Califorma streets, filed a complaint against Officer John Von Muegge before the Board of Fire ana Police commssioners at its meeting last ove- ning. The complaint charges Von Mugge with disorderly conduct, threatening to ar- rest without cause, and trying to remove his trunk without settling his board bill. The hearing of the case was laid over for one week. Vire guards will be placed over the win- s of the matron’s room at the city jail to provent the escape of women and children temporarily confined there. Chiof Seavey’s sick report for January shows that tho policemen lost 162 days.

The matter was_referred to the committee on men and discipline, Its report last night stated tho board had no power to relieve a bondsman, but suggested that the officers mentioned be required to furnisk a new bond. Continuing, the committee recommended that all officors who have been on the police forco for more thau two years be reauired to file new bonas, as the financial condition of someof the sure- ties may have changed since the bonds were approved. The report suggests that the mayor asnd city council be requested ~ to pass - an ordinance uwder scction 18 of the city charter, fixing the amount of bonds to be given by members of tho police force and also requiring the boads to be renewed every two years. ‘The report was laid over for one week.

Many Mutterings Heard to the Conferen Ask is Not the From I What th Vouchsated Public, egates The Union Pacific railway is resting upon a sleeping volcano. Already there are faint mutterings of an explosion, and if it comes to pass there will bo one of the biggest strikes known to railroad history. Proceedings of the two grievance commit- tees now in session here have been guarded from publicity with the utmost care, and in- terested parties on both sides nave mek news paper inquiries with the statement that overything was lovely and there was no danger of trouble, 1f that was true a new spirit has come over affairs. The officers of tho two committees laid their griovances before Assistant Gon eral Manager Dickinson last Tuesday. Nearly a week has elapsed, and the trainmen have received no reply. The full commitie expected to have a conference with Mr. Dick- inson vesterday, but that gentleman had not returned from a trip to Chicawo. The members of the committees show some irritation, and are not as guarded as formerly in giving expression to their feclings. It appears from their statomoents that their grievances have been but to the railroad company as demands, ana_they with emphasis that they will insist on their rights. "They assert carnestly, and no doubt honestly, that they hope there will be no strike, but they admit that it is possible and announce with evident confidence that thoy are prepared for such an_emergency. They speak of the situation asa “fight.” intimato strongly that the Union must accede to ' their demands and they de- clure that the strike, if it comes, will stop every whesl on the entire systom. From all this it appears that the con ductors and brakemen are determined to force their claims to an issue, and that they have carefully considered both the possibility and the practicability of a strike as an alter- native, They hope for peace but are pre- pared for war. Their demands include one for an_increase in wages on some divisions, and there are some proposed changes in rules that are likely to be quite as troublesome. As one of the " trainmen said: “They may appear trifling to the public, but they arg important to us, and we mean business.” T. T Slattery, second vice grand master of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, was in the city again yesterday and hud anothor conference with members of the grievance committee ot that order.
