S Bee: 1 beg leave to tions in regard to v Traiuing school: The state provides a Normalschool at Peru for the benefit of those desiring to become hers. The taxpayers support this chool. Why are we also taxed to maintain one hiere at home? Last year the cost of the school $600 per month—the prineipai rec per month, four training teachers §100 per month, each janitress §25 more, while the fuel and_othier expenses amouuted to about $25, making a total of 26,000 per school year, As the class never numbered over twenty pupils the scnool proved a rather expensive experiment. ast Febru- ary the class consisted of eightecn bpupils, three of them being Roman Catholics, wio have not been appointed as teachers. The Board of Iducation abolished the school lust fall, claiming it was_illegal. The state superintendent also said it was 1llegal. 1f the school was illegal iast year how has it gained its logality now? There 15 a rule of the board providing for the paying of 50 per month to graduates of the Normal school. ‘This is given to other Normal school graduates, but the Omaha raduates receivo but 80, Why do nonresi- dents reccive more than those thut graduate n Omaha? There are yet six cadets the schools, but the vac stantly filled by t about iving $150 tobe placed in ncies are being con- from other places and the taxpayers' daughters have to stand aside. As yet the graduates of last Febru- ary have not received a certificate from the Board of Education because of this legality Bre of last evening there isa piec inst the traiming, but the public oes not know all the facts about 1t. Another question: By what authority did the principal put aside the examination marks of the cadets of the theory depart- ment. which consisted of ten months, and substitute the practice marks. which occu- pred but five mouths? This fact is the more remarkable because the Board of Education had charge of the examinations in theory, whercas the practice marks were given rather avbitrarily by the principal aund trainin so that taxpayers have rathier an expensive luxury to pay for, TAYPAYER, e Arc Portlolion, Our second supply of the Art Port- folios was exhausted Saturday.

OManA, Dee. 9.—To the Editor of Tur Bie: 1 cannot persuade myself that it is ver the purposc of a newspaper to deliber- cly set about inflaming the public mind against a necessary and usetul line of busi- 35 or against a class of citizens who aver- as high in the community for integrity and zood citizenship as the dealers in fuel, but to know that the effect of a newsnaper's utterance sometimes operates as above in dicated, it is only necessary to read the re- ported mterviews with representative labor iug aien based, as all aver, upon Tue Bee's recent editorial which was so absurd and ridiculously incorrect in its statements and conclusions that I assumed the people to be well enough informed not_to need any -de- fense of the coal dealer. But, lo, here are the people, evidently believing the gospel of Tue Be 1shall not allow myself to be drawn into a controversy in tiis matter. but I wish to state a few things which will, T trust, sat- isfy the public that coal dealers are not ex- tor id ave nol growing vich on il gotten gains; neithor are they hindering the progress of our well beloved city ag team coal for factory use can be pur- chased in lare or small quantities at from £ to £ (or less) per ton delivered by ons, which is as low as the cheapest L used in Chicago (1 great manufacturing ,and is £o low tuat many dealers are illing to engage in this branch of the conl business beeause they consider that the margin of profitdocs not justify the labor and expense of dolng the pusiness. Tue | is purchasing this grade of coal and hus vroof of this statement. Householders do not and cannot use “mine run” coul, which was the basis of Tie Bee's estiuate of cost. “Mine run” sienifies coal dumped into railroad cars justas tho miner londs it in the mine, and contrins perhaps 60 per cent lump coaland 40 per centof slack and screenings. ‘This grade of coal is used only for purposes of making steam and is sold very low,at $2.i5 to &3 per ton, de- livered by \wagons. Conl for houschold use 15 screened ot the mine before shipment and rescreened at the dealer’s yard before d livery to consum Coalsmined in the states contiguous to castern Nebraska do not make up 10 per cent of the coal sold for household use in Omaha. ‘The highest rotail price of the: coals is # per ton and per ton . “The people demand better coals than these and at least %0 per cent of the household trade in soft coal in Omaha is supplied with Wyoming, Colocado, Iilinois, Ohio and Ar- kansas coals, the prices of which vary from 50 to §7 per ton. The reason of the higher price is the higher freight charge, because of the incre d distance thut the coal is hauled. Both hard and soft coals have been sold in Omaha during the past cight or ten years at a uniformly low margin of profit. But few dealers have made more than a comfortable living, and’ as many coal de have failed orabandoned the business during that pe- riod as are today engaged in it in this ci There is no coal trust in Omaha. Iach dealer is independent, doing business upon hiis 0wn responsibility, The Coal exc is not an organization whose object 1s to ex- tort money frou the people. It aim is to prevent unfair and expensive busin methods and to secure umformity and econ- omy in the conduct of the business, In this day of intense competition th laboring men have their unions, the docto their sovieties, the wholesale grocers their associations, tne bankers their clearing houses, the coal d their exchange: Almost cvery line of business is organized in a similar manner, “The coal business is open to all, and if the present dealers wero malking L mar- the lowest is gins of protit as alleged in Turk’ many would flock into it, LER, P s Donations to the Creche, Dondtions to the Creche for November were as follows Provisions—Mrs, Pleak, M 5.

City Clerk Groves has returned to the body a ist of prop- erty of the companics within the fifty feet limit of the right of way, which was not returned by the asseseors. This property has herotofore been returned only to thes state board for assessment. Upon the nd- vice of the city attorney, however, the coun- cil has taken steps to' have this property placed upon the rolls of thecity for taxation, and by so doing several thousand dol will bo covered 1nto the city treasury. to List and Tax attempt to do this last June was f stalled by a restraining order secu by the Union Pacific and issued by Judge Dundy. ‘The motion to dissolve filed by the city attorney has never been up for hearing, and the case nas rested. Now the Union Pacific sets up the claim that the restraining order prevents tune city from making such a proposed assessment fo this year, as well as last year, Hence it did not appear by representative before the co mcit yesterday to show causc why the brop i should not be placed on the usscssmont rolls. The Burlington resorted to the same tic tics as the Umon Pacific, securinz the re straining order instead of appearing befcre the council I'riddy. The other ronds hav- 1z property returriod by the city clerk. and which_were notified to appear Miday, treated the mnotice with silent contempt. These roads ave the Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Belt Line and the Chicago, St. Paul, Minnchpolis & Omaha. Asthese roads have not deigned to take notice of the proceedings _of the council it is probable that their prop- erty will be placed on the assessment rolls without further delay, ana their failure to appear or be represented will be taken as enting vitg for the dissolving of the re- ng orders of both the Union Pacific nd Burlington Mr. Connell is confiaent of success. He beheves that the charter vests the council with the power to malke the pro- posed assessments, and thinks that this point is 80 clear that when tha facts ave presented to sJudge Dundy he swill immediatel; call the restraining order. The papers will probably be filed not later thin Monday morning. s Y. W. C.
