All the members except C. B, Babeock were pres- cut, The preliminary business transacted con- rgely in the reception of applications nitorships and the. presentation of claims, all of which were referred to the ap- propriate committees, Beverly and Wooley reported that the ventilating shafts and Jambs in the Hartman school building were out of plumb and asked that the respousi- bility be fixed by the toard. The matter was referred to J. A, Latenser, the architect, with power to act. ‘IT'be committeo on High school was in- structed to investigate any changes deemed advisable in the courso of study and man- agement of that institution and to recom- mend the same to the board for action Several applications were made for the use of rooms nud apparatus for conducting private summer schools, and the question was finally adjusted by referring them all to the committee on buildings and property and the superintendent, with power to act. A similar disposition was made of a request of the Omaha Scientitic association for the use of one of the unfurnished rooms in the fourth story of the High school building for the temporary locationof its collections. Upon recommendation of the committee on claims, the following sums were ordered paid: Fuller & Warren Heating and Venti- lating company, $1,143; Shane & Jackson, brick work, $3,124; Dewey & Stone, furnish- ing board rooms, £2,208; Aloe & Penfola com- pany, sundries, 848, The claim of the John- Slectric Service company for its balance Of §215 was daferred. Inevitaslo Discussion of Hoat. The inevitable discussion upon the qu tion of heating and ventilating was precipi- tated early in the evening by a resolution of- fered by Mr. Elgutter, that all bids for such supplics for the Long ‘annex and the Hickory building be rejected. This motion was promptly voted down, but the issue could not be thus casily suppressed. A second storm was raised when Mr. Coryell moved the adoption of the foilowing resolution: Resolved, That the Smead Heating and Ventilation system with the flushing closets be adopted by this board for the Long school building at £2,030, and the Faller and War- ren system W 1 Hlushing closets and the Holbrook Syphon system for ventilation at a cost of &2,000, be adopted for the Hickory building. his, Mr. Coryell claimed, would be a fair compromise between the members who fa- vored different systems of heating and venti- lation. It would enable the construction of the buildings to procead, so he claimed. An animated discussion was participated in by Messrs. Morrisou, Elgutter, Juyne, Knodell, Smyth, Duryea and Powell, On one side it was contended that this was a compromise, that it was the only way in which work on the buildings could be hastened this year. The opposition was based on the assertion that only one system could be the best, that neither of these sys- tems would suceced without mechanical con- trivances for drawing off the foul airand that the Smead company was doing the same work in other cities at greatly reduced prices. After the addition of an amendin providing that the plans and spe be made agreeable to the board and under direction of the architeet, the resolution was adopted by a vote of 8 to #; Babeock, Elgutter, Pierson, Morrison, Smyth and Powell comprising'the negative.

His prime motive for coming to Omaha is to superin- tend the sampling and assuying of a quan- tity of lead-silver-gold ore from the Galena district of the Black Hills of South Dalota Mr. Bullock is interested in numerous prop- | erties in that section, and says his only fears now are that the recent decision of the India government in regard to the coinage of the white metal will have such a de- | pressing effect upon the market as to make | silver wining, no matter how rich the vein | matter may be, unprofitable in the extreme, ‘While here Mr. Bullock will place in the hands of an Omaha publishing house the manuscript of a book which will bear the title, “‘I'wenty Years in the Territories.” It subject matter will touch on the doings of the vigilants of Montana, the horse thieves of Nobraska and the stage robbers of the Black Hills. Mr. Bullock as a peace oflic in all three of the territories —at that time—is gut-edged, and as he has a happy way of telling an anecdote, a good use of the English language and a pleasing way of stringing adjectives together, and withal, his narratives’ being of a kind or autobiographical character and the atmos- phere of truth surrounding them all, will have of more than passing interest to the old timers of Omaha and Nebraska who were associated with Seth in the early days of the state and many of whom greeted him effusively yesterday. ——— Omana Club Removal, Henry W.

City Kngineer King made his report on the condition of the road out near Jetter's brewery, that was reported in a dangerous condition by Mr. J. J. O'Rourke some time ago. Mr, King said that a new culvert would have to i'm put in and that the cost would be about £00. Mr. Conley said that this streot in question had never boen dedi- cated and ho was opposcd to expending 500, or any other amount of the city's money, on private ground. Mr. O'Rourke stated that one-half of the street had been dedi- cated, but the other half had not been. He said the city would be held liable for any damage incurred there by an accident.

The meeting takes place in the city clerk’s office amily Ko Ferdinand Snitzious is again under arrest. This time he is charged with committing an assault upon Will Chandler,his step-son. Snitzious and his wife havo had several separations on account of Mrs. Snitzious' children, all of whom are grown up. Only a few weeks ago Snitzious and his wifo had o row, when Suitzious smashed up some furni ture and was fined in the police court for his conduct. They agreed to separate ani have not been living tozether since. Sunday even- ing Snitzious met his wife at the German cele- bration and the old spark of love was rekin- dled, ihoy left the ball and took a trip to Courtland “beach, where in the moonlight both promised to again love, rospect and protect the other. Returning to the ball Will Chandier, a step-son, who has little or no respect for Snitzious, knocked all the ar- rangements the old counle had made sky high. Snitzious started to go home with his wife, but discovering that he was being fol- lowed by Chandler, changed his mind and went back to the hall. On the platforn at the door ho was met by Chandler. Snitzious says that Chandler assaulted him fivst, and Chandler says that Suitzious slipped up be- hind him and struck him with a sundbag, At any rate Chandler has a badly skinned head, and he will prosecute Snitzious for the as: sault. After the row was over Snitzious went home and went to bed. Chandler's sister went to the police station and succeeded in getting Caplain Austin to go and rouse Snitzious from his slumbers and locis him up, although no warrant was issued. ‘The charge on the jail book is “ussault with in tent to kill,” but is not likely that Snitzious will be tricd for anything but simplc ul. The case is set for Wednesday morntug at o'clock. Magic City Gossip. Mr. C. Weber of Albright left last night for Chicago. Councilman Schultz is home from a vyisit to the Worla's fair. Mrs. J. W.

BIG BETSY’'S ROAR. The Trial of the Monterey's Giant at Sen. Nothing of special interest occurrod until the next morning, says Harpor's ‘Weekly, when Cantain Howison, who was in charge of the Board of Tnspoction, and Captain Kemp!T, commander of the Monterey, determined to fire the big guns with the ship under way, instead of running in to an anchorage, as had been planned. When the orders were given to beat to quarters it may b imagined that the moment was an exciting if not an anxious one. *“Big Betsy” and *Sister Al the twelve-inch rifles on the fol ward turret, are the heaviest guns in sorvice and neither had ever been fired outside tho proving grounds, just after their completion. Their discharge from on shipboard was purely experimental and thercfore attended with sow apprehension and intense interest The ten-inch guns in the after turret were fired first, one with a charge of 200 pounds of powder and a 450-pound projectile, and the other with afull charge of 258 pounds of powder and a projectile of the same woight, and everything had passed off perfectly, 50 the order was given to load “Big Betsy.” The charge of 335 pounds of powder and an 830-pound shell were fod to the marine monster, and then, while everybody held his breath, Lieutenant Nicholson, the oranance ofticer of the Monterey, pulled the lanyard, and the deed was dono. There was a mighty roar and a flash of flame, and the shell went hurtli westward, ricochetting once and again until it sank in the wa ters of the ocean. But where was t wreck of matter and the crush of worlds that was to_accompany the discharge? There simply was none. The* entive recoil of the gun, fired with a full serv- ice charge, was only forty-ono and a half inches, and there was not a piece of glass or erockery broken on the vessol, nor was a man injured or stunned in any way by the concussion. Another predic- tion had gone by the board, and *Big Botsy's™ quality as a lady of force and discretion been fully established. e/l CALLING UP TRA";ELERSv A Brace of Odd Experiences in Villigo Towns. traveling man has had his ox- with the intelligent bell boy salls” for the carly train. “I was pounding my ear protty livoly one night in a Texarkana hotel, id a Texas man to a St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat reporter, “when abig thumping on my door b 1t me up sitting in bod. ** ‘What is " 1 asked. “Boss:' said the darky, man what wants to go on train to Big Sandy “1 had left no ‘¢ and T made that darky understand in a few short words.
