EVERYTUING HIGH BUT WAGES Councilman £teel Tells of the Condition of European Breadwinners. LONDON S JAILS CAN'T HOLD THE DRUNKS Armies of 1dle Men Sleaping in the Streots Unable to House Themsolves on the Pittance Earned by Long Hours of Hard Work, Councilman John Steol is at home again after a trip of some .weeks duration, on which he visited the leading Iuropean popu- lation centers. This tour included a four days stop in London, five days in Paris, ono in Brussels, two in Hamburg and a twenty- ono dave ramblo among the scenes of his childhood in Sweden In all the cities and countries visited Mr. Steel made as careful a study of the social conditions and problems with whioch ho was confrontea as the time would permit and talks tery ontertainingly of what he saw. “In the wonderful city of London,” he eays,. I found more idie men and moro drunken mon than in any other place. I saw them Iying about the strects and on the public parks and squares by the hundred. Sueh a spectacle was never secn in an Amer- foan city. Iasked a polica officer why it was allowed and he toll me that there was not fail room enough in London to contain them. 1 saw more girls from 12 to vears old Berubbing doorsteps, carrying parcels and buckets ana engaged in such work as only the cheapest kind of laborers do here than I over saw before. Aud they wore bavely clothing enough to conceal their nakedness, and that little was rags, *1 fuquired 1nto the guestions of labor and wuges as often ns 1 had opportunity, and conclude that generally the wages paid in Londou are about 40 per cent less than those paid in America for the same class of work. Tho cost of living is a little, possibly 10 per cent, less than itis in America. Kent and fuel ‘aro cheaper than bere, but bread and meat cost just as much in London as in Omaha, “I'he conditions in Frauce are so difforent from other countries that I am not able to make any comparisons, but renerally speak- ing tho farther away from Kngland I got the lower I found the market for labor. “In Germany the wages are very much Jower than here, but people there Work very much more slowly than here. In almost any class of work the American laborer will do in one day as much as his brother workman 1 Germany can do 1o two. 1 watched men paving and brickluying and on all sorts of puolic work, and I am positive that in_the samo time they do not accomplish more than half as much as the American workman, “Iu Swedon labor is still cheaper and tho strugglo for existence more bitter. No price 1s too ridiculously low 1o pay for com- mon labor, and it requires two-thirds of the wages of mechanios to pay their boord bills, and they get very ordinary cheap board at that. Kor ordinary labor ihe wapes paid run from 1 crown to 11 crowns a day. A crown is 27 cents, and a 25-cent meal in Sweden is 10 better that a 25-cent weal iu Omana. “One thing which interferes with an intel- ligont study of the wage guestion in Kurope is the fee system. You find it everywhere after you loave the shores of Amorica, and your hund is continually in your pocket for the sixpenny feo. In mauny places waiters, cha mbermaids, porters and the like, get no pay at all from their empioyers. They live on'the “tips.” In Paris waiters in the cafes pay for the privilege of holding their jous, and they can afford to do it. ““You tak® a cab, for instance, in London. The fareis very reasonable and you ure nover overcharged, for on the dash board of the vehiclo therois a table of rates printod on porcelain, 1f thers are twoin the cab and you drive for an hour you witl be asked 10 pay two and sixpence—about G0 cents— but there Is a driver with his hav in his hand waiting for a “tip.”” He aoes not own the vehicie and he ruust make a living some- how, and you are expected 1o be generous. It is a wretched system. 1 know more about the manner of living in Sweden than anywhers else since it is my native oountry and I spent more time there than anywhere else. There is a wonderful difference between life jo town and life in the cities. As far as the appearance of the people woes the streets of a Swedist city are Dot very uifferent from those in America. The people dress well and live well. They have made cookery an art. Butin the coun- try you will hud the people clad in homespun and eating meat once u week or perhaps twice if they are fortunate. The meat is of an inferlor quality and it is no cheaper than here. There area groat many varieties of fish and It is an important item of diet in my nativo country. a “In fact, so far as my observation™ goes there 1s bothiog oheap in Europe except labor. Any article which you wish to {)umhuw will be cheap if the principal factor n its creation is lavor and the materiul a minor consideration. Here is a penknife for instance which could not be purchased in America for less than §2. It cost me 60 cents in Stockholr. In Hamburg I bought what we would call a good 10-cent cigur for 2 cents, In Stockholm one item of a laundry il for the most beautiful work was a shirt, 3 conts. “Of courso my fleld of ovbservation was limited, out I saw enough to convince me that Americans cannot, ufllpl'u('mle the extent of their prosperity until they have visited Furope, and 1 heurd enough to convince me that the young men and young wowmen of Burope do not come to America for thesole reason that they have not the money to pay their passage.”” 2 ORDER OF "HE IRON HALL. Btatements of Its Troubles from Oma Mombers of the Order. The Order of the Iron Hall1s undergoing 8 convulsion that promisesto terminate in the financial wrecking of the organization. A doubt regarding the financial sounduoess of the order has existed in various places for somn time, Tho feeliug grew untila con- siderable body of the members united 1 ask- ing for the appointment of a receiver and a thorough wvestigation of the finances of the order. Tho case is now on trial at Indian- apolis, which is the headquartors of the order. The facts clicited on the witness staud show & peculiar action on the part of Su- reme Justico Somerby and other officials of ho ordor. Mr. Somerby, besides being tho figurative head of the order, is prominently connected with a Phaludelphin bank, and it is alloged that he diverted tho funids of the order in order to save tho bank from bank- ho testimony of witnesses showed that the highofelals of the Iron Hail had not paid articuiar attention to the expiration of their ouds. The supreme justico was supposed 10 be under o bond of §,000, but ho adwitted that be had been witheut o bond for two eurs und had only filed one after the re alvership M. C. Dayis, #he cashio order, bad originally filed # boud for 830,000, 85 was required, but one of his bondsmen had diea and his place had not been suppliea. According 10 the statement of Sapreme Justice Somerby, $170,000 of the funds of the order was used Lo avert the raiu of the bauk, This, Mr. Somorby asserts, was nocessary, as tho oraer bad so lurge a deposit in tho bauk that the insolvency of the biuk meant the utter faslure of the order. It was be- licved that the use of $170,000 would save the ovapk and the order. Thb sum was drawn from the treasury without the usual wareant. The faots leaked out, and heuce the muss that threstens to wrock the order unloss a comvromise i effected. MTbere have been two lodges of the Iron Hull iu Omaha, both of which have given up the ghost. Oue was neves fully organized. Sowe of the members wrote to the heads of the order asking & number of quostions re- gurding its finnocisl methods, and failing to recelvo an muswer they decided not to pur- suo tho organizaiion oy furtber. ‘I'bo other lodge received its chartor aud flourished for a timo, but also threw up ils charter some thwe ago. Wil Probably Make a Compromise. IxniANAroiss, Ind., Aug. 13—t is gener- ally believed here touight that the suit ask- ing for a receiver for tho Order of the iron Hall will be compromised. Just before ©out eonvened this moruing to resume the b rla - of evidenoe in the sult the attorneys Joh W twe sides held suetber cousullation. They afterwards refused to divulge the na- ture of it and would ouly say that it w socret conference, not for the public. Plsin Mt Daniel W. Kreffler intimated it wasa movement 1o effect & compromise and that was all that coula be learned. After tho conference the executive com- mitteeman, I. W. Sayre of Philadelphia, was ut on the witness stand. The feature of is evidenco was a statement ho made when Somerby appointed him supreme adjuster of the order he asked him to sign 8 paper pledging himself to support Somerby in_all mattors, He signed the paper, he smd, after adding that he would support the Iron Hall. For several months Sayre has beon baving a contest over the office of adjuster with Somerby's son-in-law, McGreham. This morning the executive committee confirmed Sayre's appoiniment. When the court ad- journed today it was until next Wednesday morning. — - JOHN J. VALENTINE. 6 of & Well Known and Aprossman. Something of the Active At a meeting of the Wells-Fargo company, held on August 11 at San Franeisco, Cal., Jonn J. Valentine was elected president of the company. Mr. Valoutine, who was vice president and general manager for the company for a num- ber of years, is quite a remarkable man. He was born at Bowling Green, Ky., and ro- ceived but a common school education. In the winter of 185455 ho bogan bis business carcer with a firm of druggists, who were also ugents for Carter, Thomas & Co.'s old stage and oxpross lino 1 Bowling Green, and although to outward appearance he is still a young man he has been engaged in the exoress business for upwards of thirty-seven years. In the win- ter of 1861 Mr. Valentine omigrated to California and while out there no was ap- pointed superintendent of the Pacific di- vision of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express. He has served this company in various cap. ties, but nas now reached the highest posi- tion within the gift of the company. His talonts are of a versatile nature, for in addition to possessing great aptitude for the work to which he has dovoted his lifo he has found time to publish and_prevare each yoar a summary of the gold and silver of the en- tire country and his compilation has been recognized as reliable and a leading authority on tho subject. He has ulso taken an active part on tho question of the free coinage of silver in the mnewspap the gist of his contention being that to pre- serve honest money an _absoluto parity of value must be maintained between gold and silver, and that this canuot be effected by removing all vestrictions whatever from the coinage of silver, tho inevitablo offect of which would be to create a glut in the home market and depreciate its value, Mr. Valentine has also found time to identify himself with the great charitablo movements of the age. By an organized effort among agents and employes of Wolls, Fargo & Co. targe sums of money were raised for the reiief of communitics in dis- tress. Notably among them are the great fire of Chicago, the low fover epidemic at Memphis, the overflow of the Mississippl river, the graat fire of Virginia and the grasshopper vlague of Nebraska ana Kansas, besides a whole host of others. 1In short, he has proven himself in every sphere of life an eflicient officer, a public-spirited citizen and an all-round userul man. Rt BROTHERS REUNITED. F. Tilly and His Brother Mect After a Separatic Many Years. Most any man would be glad to meet a brother whom hehad not sean forseven long years. The feeling that is brougnt on by such a meeting is enjcyed by J. F. Tilly, the city superintenaent of buildings, today and is caused by the arrival of Charles M. Tilly, who is accompanied by his wife. Mr. Tilly, the visitor, nas boen av Denver, where as a Shriner he represouted Cypress commandery of Hyde Park, Mass. Although representing the commandery of that town, the home of Mr. Tilly 1s, ana for eloven years last past, has been at Mo terey, Mex., Wwhere ho holds the position of superintend- ent of maintenanceand ways on the Mexican National railway extending from Corpus Christi to the city of Mexico. In speaking of Mexico, Mr. Tilly said that it was rapidly becoming Americanized. Americans, he said. wers fouud everywhero and in every line of business. The town of Monterey, ho said, had 45000 inhabitants and was rapidly developing into a manufac- turing center. ~ Already Americans had lo- cated furniture faotories, sugar factories, soap factories and woolen' mills, employing lul forces of skilled laborers. The City of Mexico, be said, was decidedly English, In fact the English had captured tho town. Most of the capital was from Engiand, but the Americaus were rapidly gotting & foothold. In the construction of the railways he said tbat England furnished the steel, Germany the iron and tne United States the locomotives ana cars. The Mexi- cau government was voady to concede that the American steel rails were bettor than thosn of Kngland, but the cost drove them out of the market, especially when the most of the capital empioyed was from Englaud. Mr. Tilly was delighted with the Colorado mountains, but expressed the opinion that the Itockies were far behind Mexico when the question of scenory was taken into con- sideration, In going up to the City of Mex- ico from Corpus Christi there were wany places where it required an engine and a pusher to take four coaches over the moun- tans. In some places passengers could stund in the observation car and lookirg back seo five loops in the road over which the train had climbed., Mu. Tilly regards Omaba as the most flour- ishing city that he has seen in the states. He will remain here until Tuesday, while his wife will stay several weeks, visiting friends aud rolatives. — END OF A CHOLERA SCARE, Helmetta. N. 4., Is Not Infected by the Dread Disease. Hewmerra, N. J., Aug. 18,—Dr. H, D, Zan- del of this villace says the reports of sick- ness here are grossly exaggerated. There 1s absolutely no foundation for the roport of a @ cholera scare. The populacion of the vil- Iage is about 400 and there bave been but four deaths since August 1, one an aged woman, one a child of nine yeurs, and the other two infants less than a year old, who were victims of the usual summer complaint incident to children. Not more than five or six porsons i the village sro now sick, all with & mild forw of dysentery, bearing no resemblance to cholera and nocither con- tagious nor infectious. Says He Was B! New Youk, Aug. 13, —Superintendent Bryoes will investigate charges made by James H. Smelzer, agent of the Texarkana & Fort Smith rairoad in Texus, agaiust Policeman Farrell, whom he charges with blackwail aud rhbbery. Smelzer was arvested on Broadway July 1, for intoxica- tion.

It cost the city of Omaha $3.21 per vupil last year for janitor service in the public schools. It cost Kansas City $1.40 per pupil, Minneapolis $1.98 per pupil and Milwaukee $1.10 per pupi! for the same service. Ever since Tz Bex ocalled attention lasy winter to the fact that janitors of the Omaha schools were getting higher wages than men engaged in similar work in other large cities throughout the country several members of the Board of Education have been in favor of establishing a different scale of wages, but the matter has been postponed from time to time. The resolution passed by tho board last Monday aight by which the janitors were olocted for the year provided that the men elected should rocoive such salarvas the board might decide upon at & subsequent meeting and in view of this fact the janitors cannot ciaim the snme salaries they received last year if the board decides before uhe school year begirs o change tho scale. The aunual report of the superintendent of schools of Milwaukoe shows that tho aver- age daily attendance of pupiis in that city last year was 20,476 and that the total cost of janitors' services for tho year was $24,485.22. The average daily attend- ance in the Omaha schools last yoar was 10,370 and _ the cost Tor janitors for the year was $33,318.10. To putit in another form, the costof janitor servico por pupil in Omahna was a fraction over £3.21 for the year, whilo in Milwaukeo tho same item of expense was but a fraction over $1.19 per pupil. In Minneapolis the average aaily attondance last yoar was 10,- and the total sum expended for janitors was 832,81 with 6,000 more puplls in school Minneanolis pays less for janitors than the city of Omaha, In Kansas City the janitors aro hired for only ten months in the year. Thoy arc furnished with living aparvments and with coal. The average sulary is $i5 per month. For taking care of ‘one room the Kansas City janitor gets $10, for two rooms, §15 to $:0; threo rooms, §25; four rooms, £30, and & 15 added for each addi- tional room abuve four and $1.50 for floored basement, used for playrooms. The highest salary is £79, tho lowest 810, Tho averago cost ber month er pupil for janitor service is 14 cents in Kansas City, or $1.40 cents for the ten months, while in Omana it is £.21 In adaition to the work of keeping the in- terior of the school buildings in order, mak- ing fires, ete., the janitors of other large cities are requirea to keep the school grounds in good order, but in Omaha many of the janitors will not nail a loose board on the walk, never cut a weed or attand to any of the exterior repairs_that should bo a part of their work. There aro excep. tions to this rule. A few of the Omuha school buildings are neatly kopt. Some of the janitors appoar fo understand their business, butasa rule the Omaha school janitor considers it beneath b to do any of the work outside of the building. Just why 1tis necessary for the board to keop all those janitors employed during the summer months, when there is no school, seems to be somothing of & _mystery. All thoy do is to clean up the building for the opening of the new vear, and most of them accomplish that work in a- couple of weoks or less immodiatoly preceding the oveuing day. All theso facts seem to prove protty con- clusively that there 1s something wrong with the system of janitor service in tne Omaha schools. The Omuha Seale. Tho seale or schomo by which the_janitors of the Omaha schools aro paid_is foarfully and elaborately constructed. It is full of loopholes and cracks through whigh oxtra allowances lonk in perfect showers into tho pockets of the jauitors. It will bo noticed by rendinz tho alloged scalo that a janitor is in luck where hie has a_ number of detached rooms 1o take care of, even though they mav bo all on the same lot. Two two-room build- ings entitlo a janitor to more money than one foyr-room building, althougn the two-room bulldings may not be ten feot apart and the janitor is not obliged to climb stairs st all. At the Davenport school, 1or example, there are two two-room frame buildings stanaing close together. If these four roums were under oue roof the janitor would got $40 per month for takiug caro of them, but because be is obliged to step across about twenty feet from one building to the otner he is paid $12 extra and draws €2 In fact the board hires two janitors there pay- ing each 26 por month, and thoy work about four hours a day. It is also quite a windfall to a janitor to have a room about the building that is not used. He 18 paid for taking care of it just the same. 1fa building has ten rooms and there are only nine in use the janitor gets paid for the ten rooms because it 13 supposed that 1n some way he is held responsible for the entire building. Just what that respon- sioility amounts to or what the Board of Ed- ucation would do with a janitor if somebody should steal or carry away the unused room nooody seems to understand, Extra Pay for This. Janitors also claim extra pay where tho principal bas a separate office from her reci- tation room. And where it “bocomes neces- sary to change one end of a hall into a small recitation room 1o accommodate an over- crowded building the jauitor claims pay for an extra room and usually gets it At the Leavonworth school thero are eight rooms in use, but owing to the fact that thero are Lwo fur nished rooms in the bisement. that aro not occupied, the janitor gets paid for nine rooms. ‘fhese two rooms in the basement are locked up from one end of the year to theother, but thoy cost the board & a month, which goes Into the janitor's pocket. This is but an example of the way the alleged scalo of wages works. Hero is the Omaha scalo of wagos: Saturies of Janitors. r bullaings heated by stoves and fur- uncos: Sohool Vacation M M'unlhn.

A mulatto nephew of illegitimate origin had scandalized thoir home life. Thele mothor was cross and un- reasonable with them in all their shortcom- ings, especially so far as money matters were concerned.

Threo members attended the meeting of the Board of Coudty Commissionors held yesterday afternoon. The businoss was transacted without hitch or hindrance, with Mr. Stenberg occupying the chair. County Attorney Mahoney wrote that the board possessed the authority to instruct the county clerk to extand: the tax assessed to pay for the grading of State streetin the town of Florence. ' Mr. Paddock argued that the streot com- menced nowhere and ended at tho samo voint. For that reason the board had no authority to assess dbutting property to pay the cost of grading..) . Mr. Stenberg said the guestion as whether tho cost should be paid by the county, or taxod agaivst the property. The attorney bad said that the proceedings wero leal and thero was Lo reason why the $2,033 should be paid by the county. By resolution the tax was ordered levied against all of the property lying along the line of the streot, ‘Then the board tackled the question of the election of & memoer of the Soldiers Kelief commission to succeod M.

Mr. Williams, as an amendment, moved that the appolntment go over for one week. There were absentees, Chairman Berlin and Mr. Van Camp, and Williams wanted a full board when the appolutment was made. The ameudment carried over the original motion, The Douglas County Agricultural associ- ation asked that the commissioners appoint fifty deputies to serve at the fair grounds during the holding of the county fair. This was referred. The school board .of South Omaha served notice that it would expect the county com- missivners to make.the school levy, The communication stated that it would take £35,000 to run the schools during the coming your and that §21,000 bad been provided for by state and city tax. The whole matter was referred. Of the smount the school board wrote that of the $35,000, 30,000 would be for mawmtenance of schools. §,500 for the erection of a new school house and 2,500 to pay for a schoolhouse site, H. C. Akin presented a bill of $100 for A lithograph cut of the court house. No per- son knew anything about the ordering of tho cut, ana consequently the bill was referred. Mr. Paddock wanted to adjourn for two weeks. He said that ho would bo absent and was afraid that the republicans would take snap judgment on him on the appoint- ment of a member of the Soldiers Relief commission. ‘The majority could not see the propriety of letting next Saturday’s meeting go by default, and as a result it will be held with Mr. Paddock absent. . —— FOR THE COUNTY FAIR. rremium List for the Twolfth Aunual Ex- hibition Now Out.

I Ex-TrAcusn box-car, ran away and turned the buggy over and slightly injured the occupants, but to no serious extent, as was pronounced by the phbysician who then examined them. Thay thén rode to their home with Alf Ryburn, a liveryman, and on the way among other things of which they talked were the hearses which they desired to bear them to their graves. One desired the Geneva hearse and the other the Sutton bearse. Neither ex- pressed horself as being injured from the runaway. Arriving at home they entered the parlor where they remamned a fow minutes, when Bertha went to the kitohen, procured a glass of warm water, stating that she desired it to use with some soda in_bathing Lizzie's wounds. She took the gla§s and went back 1010 the parlor, closing the door after her. In the space of from ten to fifteen minutes Bertta came out saying that she felt some- what dizzy and she woula go ont 1nto the air and go aown to the barn and soe tho horse that had heen injured in therunaway. Lizzie and o younger sister soon followed her, the mother coming behind. When they got to varn and were looking over the horse Berths became exceedingly pallid and, as the other parties thought, apparently began to faint. She soon fell down with neck and head thrust backward, while spasmodic move- ments crossed the features and the arms and limbs moved in convulsive action. The fam- ily, together with some mechanics who were there, labored with her to restore her, but to no avail, and soou Lizzie was taken with the same symptoms and acted in the same pe- culiar manuer, Kuew She Would Die. About the time that Bertha expired, which was all the way from a quarter to half an bour after the first violont attack, Lizzie said: “Bertha is dead, and I'll die, too."’ Lizzie was about the same time 1n the throes of agony as Bortha had been. Just beforo she expired sho called her sister Minnie to nor aud told her to kiss her goodby, that she was going to dio and that they had taken poison. Drs.’ Ashby and Plumb of Fairmont wero called to the sceneand upon examination agreea that they bad been poisoned. They found all the post-mortem symptoms of strychnia poisoning present and immediately began search for a romnant of the drag or its receptacle, All poison bottles therotofore haa by the family weroe known to bave becn de- stroyed. Dr. Ashby soon fouud a regulation one-elghth strynia bottle with nearly ail the Inbel removed lving immediately outside the door in the grass south of the room in which tho girls had been with their cup of warm water, As thorough an examination as coula be made without dissection wus then and there made by the two physicians named. The coroner, Dr. T. C. MeCleery of Excter, being unable to be present, C. K. Summers, sheriff, conducted the inquest. The following leading _ecitizens of the com- munity were summoned as jurors; W. 5. Brown, W. I Brink, D. B. Ayres, W.T. McKnight, W, H. Nichols aud M. V. King. A large number of witnesses wero subpa:- naed and examined by Charles H, Sloan, county attorney. The verdict unhesitatingly arrived at was that the deceased came to their deaths from poison administered by their own nands with suicidal intent. Why No Autopsy Was Held. No autopsy was held for the reason that thers was no question from the evidence as to the facts, and no interested party re- quested that one be had. A potition was iator presented to the county attorney after the burial of the bodies, that thoy be exhumed and an autopsy hoid, but tne pe- ttioners alter hearing what tho facts were, they not having been present at the inquest, readily pronoucced the verdict correct and said they had no personal morbid curiosity to satisfy as to the private misdeeds and short- comiugs of the deceased, if any theroe sbould be, further than the causo of their death, of which there can be no question. If the autopsy should reveal anything to their dis- credit other than the taking of poison it would be but adding scandsl to their Jiving relatives, an ubnecessary blot to their memory, and carving unneeded, blackened characters on their tombstones, and if 1t should implicate others the evidence would be sealvd by death within the lips of the victims and concealed within the breast of self-preservation of the living wrongdoer, Nine physicians who were coasulted, in- cluding the county physician ana coroner, all pronounced the verdict sound and cor- reot.

It was in o state of perfect preservation, and only o little blackened by water. . Half a dozon more were found, then two gold buttons from the uniform of a British naval officer, Tho wext plunge of the bucket brought up a quautity of copper coin worn very thin by the water. Captain Simons’ weatber-beaten face re- laxed and ho smiled. “We are right over the stuff 1 am quite cortain,” said he, “and I expect to have all of it up very soon.” He spoke very quietly, too.
