8 LOOKING OVER ITS LEDGER Board of Education Counts Its Money and Makes Estimates for the Fature, DEFICIT ANNOYING [ AN REALITY /pecial Meeting to Be Held to Consider the Bituation — Superintendent Marble Ad vises Care in Cutting Expenses— Principals’ Salaries Readjosted. At Its regular meeting last evening the Board of Education pald some attention to the financ'al condition of Omaha's schools. Secretary Gillan presented a financial report based upon the most reliable data at hand and showed the board that the school year would closz with a deficit of at leasty$65,000. The board has ordered a complete and tailed report of all expenditures and hold a special meeting next Saturday digcuss the financial situation, It was voted to end the fall Friday instead of next Monday. Secretary G llan presented a detailed finan- clal statement, showing the receipts and ex- penditures of the board from July 1 to December 1, and giving an estimate of the probable resources and expenditures for the remalning seven months of the school y The receipts, including the amount hand In the general fund July 1, amounted to $905,149.65. The disburs amounted for the same period to § The overdraft, as shown by the above figur amounted, on December 5, to $70,762.82 The recelpts for the corresponding months in 1893 amounted to $69,278.21, showing falling off in receipts from tax collections, police court fines and state apportionment of $4,406.41. The secretary also called atten- tion to the fact that owing to a shrinkage in the general school funds of the state the seml-annual state apportionment, due in the latter part of January, will show a shrink- age of from $10,000 to $12,000. The sccre tary estimates tha receipts for the remaining months of the school year as follows: From saloon licenses, $190,000; from tax coll tlons, $22,000; from police court fines, $9,000 from state apportionment, $12,000; from m cellaneous sources, $6,000; total estimated re- celpts, $239,000. LOOKING AHEAD A LITTLE. The probable expenditureg for the remain- ing months of the school year are estimated as follows: Six months, at $33,000 per month, $195,000; one month, no school in kesslon, $6,000; interest and exchange, $30 000; to make up present deficit, $70,76: total, $304,762,82, These figures show a probable deficit on July 1, 1895, of $65,762.82. Apropos of Secretary Gillan's report, Mr. Gibson submitted a resolution directing the committee on finance to prepare a complete and conclse statement of the operating ex- penses of the Omaha public schools, s statement to show only the amounts ex- pended for operating expenses, independent of the money pald out as interest on the bonded dndebtedness. The resolution was adopted, and the board will hold a speclal meeting next Saturday evening to consider the proposed report. According to a resolution offered by Mr. Burgess the salaries of the principals of the Dodge, Windsor, Franklin, Forest and Pa- cific schools were readjusted on the follow- ing basis, as per resolution adopted two weeks ago, as follows: Dodge, increased from $100 1o $110 per month, two rooms being added; Windsor, Increased from $80 to $85, one room added; Franklin, increased from $100 to $105, one room added; Forest, increased from $90 to $95, one room. added; Pacific, decreased ‘from $130 to $110, four réoms being discon- tinued. By another resolution the committee on salaries was instructed to investigate the - question bfiprinelpals’ salaries at the Daven- port, Lincoln” and Train ‘scools, there being an apparent discrepancy betwe:n the salaries paid these principals and the salaries paid to other principals having charge of the same number of rooms. /| WANTS DIFFERENT REVENUE. 4 The board adopted the following rosolu- tlon, offered by Mr. Lowe: Whereas, The public school interests of. ithe ‘state ‘are paramount to any other sin- le_interest; and Whereas, * Thelr support, more particu’ larly “in metropolitan citie, Is made pri- marlly und ‘largely dependént upon reve- nue derived from police fines and liquor licenses, the inadequacy of which souree of revenue has been fully demonstrated in the past two_years; and Whereas, We belleve the time is at hand .when the people should determine whether the public' school system shall longer be dependent upon such an uncertain Source of revenue and its efficiency be thereby im- palred; therefore Resolved, Mhat it is the sense of the Board of Education of the school district of Omaha that the coming legislature be called upon to submit to & vate of the peo- ple a proposition to amend the constitution of the state g0 as to divert said fines and licenses to police or other funds, CAUTION IN ECONOMIZING. Superintendent. Marble submitted a lengthy report. By way of introduction he referred feelingly to the recent death of his daughter and the resolutions of sympathy adopted by the board. His report was a general dis- cussion of the school situation. In closing ho sald: *“In comparison with most other cities of my acquaintance, it appears to me that the citizens of Omaha have enjoyed benefits in thelr excellent schools of which they have felt the burden very lightly. It has cost money to elevate the schools thus, but the anethod of raising the revenue has relieved the taxpayers. This standard of excellonce cannot be maintained without continued ex- penditures, and the stringency of the times will of necessity make the burden seem great. “The school year has already been reduced one-tenth, making it necessary to crowd the work of ten months into nine, and imposing extra work on teachers and pupils, “After all, the excellence of the schools in the last analysis is due to the teachers Superintendents may be useful In sugge ing and directing; boards of education render efficient ald in all that pertains to manage- ment and surroundings, but the teacher in contact with the individual child is the efficient force in education, and the board und superintendent do thelr best work when they secure a good corps of teachers. In order o do their best work these teachers must possess enthusiasm, ambition, a fine esprit du corps. The shortening of the schcol year, and after that the reduction of salarles, as has been suggested, would strike a fatal blow at our schools, it scems to me. “Again, there are various introduced here in recent have been adopted in all progressive com- munities, the kindergarten, music, drawing, manual training, physical culture, ete., and each of these has an in“uence outside of our particular sphere and vastly wider, an influence which there is not time here to discuss. The cost of all these is small in comparison with the total expense of the schools, and they glve tone and character to the education of the city. It would be another fatal blow to our schools to elim- inate any one of them. “Now, there ls danger, % seems that In the stress of the times great harm may be done by a too sudden spasm of economy, and the work of many years may be destroyed in a single year. We may lose In one year what it will take half a score of years to regain. It 1s better for the community to endure a little pecuniary hardship than to jeopardize our schools, and are uot the parents here ready for some sac- rifice In the Interest of the rising genera- tion of children? Pavements and streets, sidewalks and water works may wait. For the children the golden hours are passing, never to return. p ———— Never a taint of adulteration & Dr. Price's Baking Powder. sence of purity. - — Took ln Two Counterfelters.

The Board of Fire and Police Commis- sioners held another executive sesslon yester- day forenoon and remalned behind closed doors until long past the dinner hour. The fire | chiel question, whch has occupled a good deal of the time of the members during the past week, was the subject of the delibera- tions. W. A, Paxton was closcted with the commissioners for over an hour, and it Is un- derstood that he made a vigorous demand, on the purt of several heavy property owners, for the retention of Acting Chief Salter at the head of the department. Like the previ- ous meetings, no firal action was taken, and the commis: rs would only say that noth- ing had been done. The board will meet again this afternoon at 6 o'clock, when it is expected a chief will be appointed, All_other baking powders are shown by the World's fair and California Midwinter fair reports to be inferior to Dr. Price’s in purity, strength and excellence, - Brothers In Court.

He exhibited & number of these letters to the judge, and said that on Friday evening be entered a car and found his brother there.

C,, Dec. 17.—At Oukinsh inlet, on the west coast of Vancouver island, between Kyuquoit and Cape Seott, Arthur Rellinger, a 7-year-cld white boy, is held as a slave. His owner and master is Chief Titlouse of the Chucklesett tribe, who pur- chased the lad a few weeks ago for $90 cash, expecting to rear the youngster and inculcate the traditions of the tribe so that he may become the head and founder cf a new and strong Chucklesett nation. he lad was seen by a number of sealing | captains, who went to the west coast to sign Indian hunters and who found the boy tattooed, painted and garbed in the costume of the young brave and enthroned in the chief's house at Oukinsh, Chief Titlouse ex- plained that his tribe was rapidly becoming extinct and it would be the boy's great mission to avert this, He would, the Indlan promised, be well cared for and allewed to want for nothing. He had been brought into the tribe, but mnot to toil. Already twenty wives had been selected for him, the number allowed to the greatest chief, The boy told the captains that he had been gold by a man claiming to be his father, but he is believed to have been Kid- napped from Seattle, He says his name is Arthur. He is terror-stricken among the Indians, who are the lowest type of aborigines on the Pacific coast.

Interested parties have been in the city the past weck securing evidence to be. used in the breach of promise suit of Mrs. Stein against Clarence Saulspaugh at Mankato, Minn. The suit is bringing some racy de- velopments to light. Both of these partics were resideonts of Omaha in 1888, Mrs. Stein was then the wife of a man named McNamara. She went out into soclety for a time, but soon storles began floating around which caused the doors of the polite world to become closed against her. ~She then met Saulspaugh, who was quite a dashing young man in those palmy days, and for him she forsook her husband, who afterwards secured a divorce. She drifted down In the soclal vortex, and it is alleged that she was on intimate terms with men about town. Then she and Saulspaugh left Omaha and went to Minnesota, where he afterwards fell heir to a large fortune including a large hotel. He ran the hotel and Mrs. Steln was installed as housekeeper. They went out into so- clety, and rumor had it that they would get married. But occasionally some of her former friends and acquaintances would stop at the hotel, and knowing the woman's his- tary, made remarks which caused Sauls- paugh’s relatives to oppose any union with the woman. After getting control of his fortune the young rounder concluded to settle down, and became engaged to an estimable young lady of Mankato. As soon as Mrs. Steln heard of this she commenced breach of promise proceedings for the sum of $60,000. The case s now on trial, and the visitors to Omaha_are looking up the woman's record while she was a resident of this city. B Cook’s .3xtra Dry Imperial Champagne has a delicious aroma.

State Auditor Moore Ifas a Conversation Which Leadsto fmportant Resalt Frank Van Voorhis of Chicago, an adjuster for the New York Mutual, Illinols Mutual and Phoenix of Landon insurance companies was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with (violating the insurance laws, Thero fs a law in- this state which makes 1t illegal for foreign insurance companles to do business here without first having com- plied with the provisions of the statutes and then taking out a certificate which has to bo issued by the auditor and publishing a statement of the business every six months. State Auditor Moore happened to be in the | city Sunday and he engaged Van Voorhis | In conversation. He ascertained that the gentleman from Chicago was here for the purpose of adjusting the loss sustained by the Consolidated Coffee company at its re- cent fire, and that he represented three com- panies which had been doing a large ‘amount | of business in this state and which had not | complied with the law. Mr. Moore has been on the trail of a number of these companies for come time, and ta quietly laid the mat- ter before (%e county attorney that night. As a consequence Chief Detective Haze swore out a complaint before the police Judge yester- day morning and soon afterwards arrested | Van Voorhis. The gentleman was accompanied | to the station by some friends, who signed his bond in the sum of $700. ' The penalty for such violation fs a fine of $1,000 and im- prisonment for six months in fail, or both, at the discretion of ‘the judge. This is the first case of the kind that has ever occurred in this state and will probably be made a test of the law. Van Voorhis arrived in the city a few days ago in the interest of the above named com- pamies and has been trying to adjust the loss of the Consolidated Coffce company’s fir2, He has not succeeded In doing so, but probably would have in a day or two. In speaking of the matter the state auditor said that he proposed to put a Stop to foreign com- panies coming in here and doing a questiona- Dle business, and said that the state had set aside a fund for this purpose. He estimated that outside companies were doing a business amounting to $10,000,000 a year in this state. | The trial will oceur shortly, as each side is ready to proceed. = “‘Behold the lilies of the field"—they are | not whiter than Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder. et IN THE COURTS.
