He was the onoe who presented Schoentgen’s name to the democratio con- vention, and he was one of Schoentgen’s strongest adheronts all through the cam- paign, as ho had been beforo the campaign opened. When Schoentgen was defeated along with his running mate Wells was left as the only democrat on the board against five re- publicans. A report was circulatod on the streets yesterday to the eftect that Wolls would resiga his position as member of the board at once. Mr. Wells was seen by a B revorter and asked what ground there was for the report, He replied that ho had not told bis plan to anyone, so that he could not. fmagine how the rumor hud sturted. Ho had not even considered the matter, he said, but aftor o few woments’ conversation ho said enough to show that he bad considered it, and pretty seriously. *The fact is,’ said he, ‘‘thore are some matters to bo brougbt bofore the board dur- ing the coming year that I don't want to have any share in deciding upon.

President McCall of the New York Life In- surance Company Banquetted. Tho Omaba club and several prominent business men gave an impromptu lunch to President McCall of the New York Life In- surance company at the club vosterday afternoon. It was areprasentative eathering of business men, Thirty gentlemen were in attendance, Dr. Miller acted as toastmaster, In the course of a short speech he said he felt highly complimented by the presence of a gathering of the most prominent citizens of Omaha in response to his invitation. Ho was agreeably surprised when he met the new president of the New York Lifo Iusur- ance company to find him a comparatively young man, and not only surprised but de- licited that ho was the associato and co- worker of men high in position in state and nationnl affairs whom he (Dr. Miller) had known and admired. Among these were the late secretary of the treasury, Mr. Manning, and a number of well known dJdemocratic leaders. Ho then introduced the guest of the evening, President John A, McCall of the New York Life Insurance company, who l'gx\'ei\'u'x u very hearty groeting. Mr. McCall said he felt highly gratified ab this warm reception and expressod himself s being greatly pleased with what he haa scen of O1naha and of its pushing, enorgetic business men. Hereferred freely tosome of the eminent Knickerbockers with whom he bad been associated politically and socially. Re ferring to his recent assumption of the oftice of president of the New York Life, be stated hat be had accepted the position entirely un- tricted from conditions that would embar- T him inits goneral supervision. The com- pany carried §120,000,000 in general r sources and had 'a surplus of 15,000, 000, which would meet any require- ments that might be mniade upon it atall times. Ho had come to Chicago to meet over 200 of the company’s agents in tho northwest and had found the affairs of the company in the west n a flourishing co dition, "From Chicago he had gone to Min- reapolis and St. Paul to inspect personally the buildiugs which the company had crected in these cities and tho proborties upon which it had made loans. He was gratified to find the buildings fairly occu- pied and the invesuments of the company on the wholo in very satisfactory condition.” He had come to Omaha with the same object and he would return to New York to assure the directors that Omaha and Nebraska promise to bo the most remureratiye field for the company’s investments. Governor James £. Boyd made a few re- marks in the course of which he said that he regetted to be called upon when gentlemen much abler than himself to speak were pres- ent. He was very glad to see President McCall in their midst und to learn that the investments of the company he preaided over had been so vrofitable. There were many present who were far hetter conversant wiih insurance matters than he was and he would therefore give way to others. In regord to the weaith and prosperity of Nebraska they had only to look around them to seeon all sides splondid opportunities for good invest- ments, Hon. J. M. Woolworth congratulated Mr. McCall on the honor which he bore and prophesied success for him 1n bis undertak- ing. Mayor Bemis said it was not necessary to apologize for not being a public speaker, He stated that they all knew it. He was glad to meet Mr. McCall and welcome him to the city. ‘The mayor hud lived in Now York twenty-five years ago. He was glad that such ~ an iostitution as the New York Life company, representing millions of aollars, had profitably invested part of its mouoy 1n Omana. Other eastern moncy which was now hoarded could be profitubly invested here, A railway to the northwest could be built, and au air line from Omaha to New York would ba a good thing. ‘T'hecom- pany might also build & bridge across the Missouri river. It could be rented the same as the Life building. It would be a vast beuefit to the city. These statements caused considerable merriment. Dr. Miller then called upon Mr. Edward Rosewater, who in response said that he felt much embarrassed to be called upon on the eve of a national cacpaign to pay homage to a democratic president, but it might be par- donable upon this occasion. Nebraska and Omaha were still in their infancy and the development of the westhad only just bogan. Twenty-five vears ago Omaha bad not much over 5,000 pobulation; within the next twen- ty-five years she will havo a half miliion of veople. T\\'cnly(ymlra ago when Dr. Miller predicted that” Omaba would have 50,000 population people catled him crazy, but Omaha had 100,000 population long before the doctor had vredicted she would have 50,000, It was the same way with the New York Life building. When Mr. Booth located it on the top of Farnam street Il certain business men shrugged their shoulders and thought he was taken in, but the building 13 now almost in tha business center and within a very brief period it will bo right in the business center of the city. The speaker closed by saying that the highest tribute that could bv paid to Mr, MecCall was the fact that he was chosen as president of his company from among so many insurance men of the country who aspired to the high position, * Mr. (i. M. Hitcheock followed with a short address in which he said he was born not over 500 feot away from the point wher were aud that very naturally ho might b a broader conception of the community in whicn Lie had lived all his life than some and he certainly felt groat friendship for the New York Life Insurance company and its representatives 1n this city for the con fidence they had shown they pos- sessed in Omaha by the investment of such & large sum of money, But ne wished to assure the president of the company that it had bestowed no greater favor upon this community than it would re- turn for the venture that had been made. Ho had often been impressed by the strange tim- idity of eastern capital iv regard to legitimato western investments, but he was glad to see that the New York Life Insurance company, Jargely by the foresight of Mr. Bootb, had adopted the broad plan and original idea of investing in the promsing communities of the west in such enterprises thut would tie it to the west forever. W. N. Babcock, general manager of the Union Stock yards, then addressed the gath- ering, giving a glowing account of ths won- derful achievements that have been brought about in South Omaba within tho past eight vears. lor the last vear the cattle receipts were nearly 700,000 hoad, and of this number 80 per cent wero sold at the South Omaba yards and 60 per cent were slaughterea at that point, T'he receipts of hogs for the same period were 1,500,000, Kighty per cent were slaughtered at this point and the balunce shippea for packing houses in the east. **Wo anticipate,” Mr. Babcock said, 1n closing, “an enormous Dusincss based upon the 1ivo stock and grain product of the state, and we do not think we shall be disappointed.” Brief remarks were also made by Mr. Guy C.

Flags, Flagstafys, Blackboards and Building Sites Considered. Ten members of the Board of Education were in attendance at & special meeting of that body last night when President Spalding calied the meeting to order, In the reading of communications the see- retary read ore from the Co-Oporative Plasterers associstion and the Bricklayers uaion, who jolutly asked the board o Dass resolutions urging the mmediate commencement of work on the new school buildivgs, as this would afford eraployment to a large number of worken who are now idle.

The same committes made’s report on the resolution to provide ali school buildings with flagstaffs, and submitted figures, leav- ing the board to decide foritsolf whether or not tho flags shouid be prayided, shown that fifteen schogis now have flags floating and that the cost of the erection of stafls in yards would be froft £33 to $70, ac- cording to the height of thepole, The ¢ of staffs on roofs was estimated at about $45 each and flacs ranged in prigo from §7 to & Mr, McCounell addressed the board in reference to flags for the Kollom school. Whoa the school1s dedicatod he said Mrs Kellom and her daughters wouid preseut the school with a silk flag in honor of the man for whom the school 1% named, Mr. McCon nell also stated that Mrs. Kellom would pro- vido a staff, but the board would not impose upon her in that connection. It instructed the committee on property ana buildings to cause o staff to be erected For other schools the question of flags was doferred until another meeting, By resolution the bid of W. M. Welch to mako bluckooards of liquid slating in the Kellom school at 16 cents a square yard with a gaarantee for one year, was accopted. A resolution instructing the superintend- eut of buildines 1o keep up fires in tho Kel- lom school for at least & week for tho pur- pose of drying the building proparatory o its occupancy, was adopted. Bids for the Central school site were oponed and the following proposals for the diposals of lots were read: Charles Neiber, 162x120, Twenty-fourth and Davenport, $25,500; John Frenzer, 281x120, Twenty Davenport, $0,000; George 160, Twenty-fourth and Douwlas, $1,200; George C.

Twenty- ‘Thomas cond and Daven Owners of the Paxton House Annexat I gerheads, The case of J. W. Kitchen against Henry A. Eastman, involving the possession of the Paxton hotel, came up before a jury yesterday afternoon in Gibson’s court. M . A. J. and W. S. Poppleton had chargo of the case for the defendant and Mr. George . Pritchett for the plaintaff, The particulars of the caso were fully set forth exclusively. 1 Tae Bee last week. The facts in brief are that Mr. Eastman refuses to pay the rent because tho houso needs repairs ant Mr. Kitchen will not bear oxpense of making the necaed im- provements because he holds that the lease provides that all necessary repars were to be made by the lessee during the time of the lease. Mr. Kitchen has, therefore, sued for pos- sossion of the annex or kitchon part which belongs to him in person. The dificulty really involves the pogsession of the whole house because the hotél canuot be operated as it is now arranged without the use of the ennex known as the old Herald building. ‘Tne case was given to tho jury at5 o'clock, and after deliberating for half an hour the jury rendered a verdictin favor of the plaintiff, gracting him immediate possession of the property in controversy. The attorneys for the defendant served notice at ouce that an apneal would be taken to the aistrict court. Justice Gibson fixed the appeal bond at $i0,000, and it was promptly furnished, 1t was intimated by Mr. Kitchen's at- torneys that a suit would be bezun at onco to gain possession of the main part of tho building. Oneof Mr. J. B. Kitchen's attorneys in the Paxton hotel case said today to a BEE re- porter that an action would be commenced in justico court within a fow days by Mr. Kitchen to gain possession of tho main por- tion of the Paxton hotel. Realizing that the case will in all probability have to be carried to tho district court the attorneys have de- cided to begin it in justice court becausc that 1s a shorter route to dis- trict court than by way of the county court. Mr. Kastman will refuse to pay rent whilo the case is pending. The appeal bond in the first case was ac copted today by Justice Gibson and the first case will now rest until it is called up is dis- trict court. Mr. Eastman’s attorneys think the case will not be reached for ncarly six months, —_— - ARRANGING FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY Several Hundred of the Faithfal Will Visit Plattsmouth—The Program.
