The Board of Education held a regular meet- ing last night, at which the pay roll of the teachers, janitors and other employes of the board was passed. The appropriation sheet also contained a large number of claims, all of which were ordered paid. The total amount was nearly $40,000. The following communication from W. N. Nason, president of the State Relief com- mission, was read: *‘At the suggestion of prominent citizens, I take the liberty of addressing you with the object of soliciting the co-operation of the honorable members of the school board in as- slsting the State Relief commission In alle- viating the distress, which I regret to say ‘I8 assuming appalling proportions among the citizens among the drouth districts in the state, by authorizing the teachers in the varlous schools to receive contributions of money, clothing and provisions for distri- bution by this commission. We suggest to i ‘Enpullrlze the movement-that it be made a B cent collection fund. “In 1890, when the citizens of this city made it possible for this commission to dis- tribute clothing, provisions and fuel to a very large amount, the teachers of the city schools in their warm hearted efforts to aid us af- forded important asistance.’ The communication created considerable discussion. Some of the members were heartily in favor of it, while others thought it would be a bad precedent to establish. The latter were opposed to it especially be- cause many of the children in the schools had parents so poor that it would embarass them to be called upon for articles, and par- ticularly money. A suggestion was made that the request for money be left out, but some cf the members were opposed to this, as they stated that they knew of families which were willing to give small amounts of money, and did not know where to go. Many of the members thought that the board should take no acticn at all, but al- low the teachers to receive contributions if they chose. The board seemed to be in a fair way to get Into a tangle over the mat- ter, when Mr. Rhodes moved that the munication be laid on the table, By a vote of 6 to 5 the motion was carried. Later in the mecting Mr. Babeock offered the following resolution, which was passed: Resolved, That the teachers in the various schools be' and are hereby author! to recelve from the children of their schools contributions of clothing or provisions for the citizens In the drouth districts of this state, and that all contributions so ma be distributed through the State Relief com- mission, The president stated that he had been un- able to obtain 10,000 coples of the president’s annual report, printed at.a cost not to ex- ceed $25. The lowest figures he could get was $40, and he wanted further instructions. Mr. Tukey offered a resolution that 10,000 coples of the report ba printed, at an ex- penditure not to exceed $40. Mr. Gibscn thought that it was throwing money away to spend it for printing the address, as the report of the finance committee, which cov- ered the same matter more exhaustively, had been published in the city papers, but his ob- Jection had little effect. The resolution was passed by a vote of 9 to 2, A communication was received from J. 8. Leavitt stating that lot number 7, in Ambler Place, had been deeded to the school board cn August 16, 1887, but that the deed had not been recorded until September 1890. A tax was assessed against it In 1890, and it was advertised and sold. The board was asked to cancel the certificate of sale by pay- ing the tax. Referred. C. Bartelsen presented another claim for $10 for cleaning the annex to the Forest school. The communication had been left with the principal of the school, who pre- sented it to the board. The matter was re- ferred. The secretary was instructed to pay the coach of the High school football team during the past season $50. This money had been raised by the students and placed in the hands of the board. The report of the financial committee was ordered printed in the annual report of the board proceedings. The secretary was instructed to advertise for bids for lumber to be used in repairs. John Rowe & Co. were ordered paid $26 for additional work on the Omaha View s¢hool, * Mra. James, wife of the late deceas:d jan- itor of the Lathrop schcol building, was ap- pointed to fill the unexpired term. A policy of $2,000 additional insurance on the High school building was rejected, as the total amount of insurance cn the building had Dow reached the limit, $75,000. 5 puk nikEo AN ROUTE he Istand--short Fastest Time, " To all points in Kansas, Oklahoma, Ind'an ‘Perritory, Texas and e!' points in southern California.

Paxton, as he stood within the shades of the big hotel that bears his name, “I have recently received advices from influential men in the east, and a test case is going to be made there. The men of means throughout the country wiil natur- ally be interested, and awalit developments.” ‘‘The ~Associated Charities s providing for 8000 families this winter,” remarked D. J. Trenery of that charitable institution “This is almost double the amount of pov erty that existed in this city last winter, but we are doing the best we can with the means at our disposal to relieve the increased des- titution. Talk about drouth sufferers—char- ity can begin at home. Our labor test is applied to nearly all applicants for aid, and people generally are willing to work. =~ Ont man the other day was insulted by the labor test, and said that it would lower his dignity to work with his hands.” “I ain’t worrying about the postofiice,” and Governor Boyd smiled serenely as he sald it. “The other fellows are doing, the worrying, if anybody Is. 1 think an appoint- ment wnblm made this week, and the agony settled. Beyond this I do not care to dis- cuss the subject.” “I am going to have a new theater in Omaha at any cost, no matter how present negotiations terminate,” sald Manager Craw- ford of Topeka. ‘‘Furthermore, you can say that Will Burgess is going to be resident manager of the same. The whole thing will be settled Saturday.” “I don't believe house rents will ever be restored to their former standard,” came somewhat regretfully from the lips of A. P. Tukey. “But I do believe that there is Boing to be an early revival of activity in real estate, whether the canal is ever built or not. I think that in the spring many people will loosen their purse strings and put their money in realty investments in Omaha."” In speaking of the judicial controversy be- tween Judge Edgerton and Judge Dundy, the latter said: “When I first went to Deadwood I thought the calendar would only consume a week, and I was in poor health and I filled the assignment. I found the court calendar would require several weeks of my time, and T, therefore, pursued what I deemed the proper course, and cleared it up. This in- cluded a large number of cases which had been continued from term to term on frivol- ous pretenses. The people evidently appre- clated my work, judging from the cordial treatment they ' bestowed upon me while there, and after I had completed my labors on the bench at Deadwood. I never ignored Judge Edgerton, and furthermore, he never issued the:order for a jury at the time quoted in his pointed letter to me.” “Our substation, A, is getting to be as large as a full fledged’ second-class post- office,” said Postmaster Clarkson. “The es- tablishment of a sub-postal service In Omaha during the past year has been productive of good results in every respect, and the public doubtless appreciates it. The volume of business at both stations has greatly in- creased.” “The reccivers of the American Water Works company are going to put in larger water mains in Omaha just as soon as the weather will permit,” said Ellis L. Bler- bower. “‘These mains will be put in where they are needed, and the work will be done in the sprivg. There has been previous talk about this, but the definite arrangement has just been perfected. I think other and more extensive improvements will be made. It has been the policy of the court and the re- ceivers to keep the plant in the best possible condition and make such improvements as gre needed. Such matters as extensions and new lines are regulated entirely by ordinances of the city councll, but the condition of the plant was never better than now.” “The present law regarding fees for police officers testifying In court is going fo be amended at this session of the Nebraska legislature,” said Chief Seavey, “at least & strong effort will be made for this remedy. The present condition of affairs in the Omaha courts which secks to deprive policemen of witness fees fs based on a technicality and was first agitated by Ira Bachelor. I am £0Ing to Lincoln to confer with the mayors and chiefs of police of fourteen cities of Nebraska and we will discuss legislation needed which pertains to municipal affairs, I shall bring up the witness fee matter for discussion and am confident that an organized effort will be made to have the objectionable clause in the present statute knocked out.” ARDT—Berth . of consump funeral at 2 1863, from 1y third street, , at § a, m.

They have grown to be as much a necessary part of the furniture of a modern house as a piano or a leather easy chair. There are over fifty different styles, all copies of genuine colonial originals, but for the three essentials of comfort, beauty of outline, and historic suggestiveness there Is no pattern so popular as this. It embodies the high back with the gal- lery back above, the “dug” or recessed seat, the broad arm rests, the tapering cross- braces, the nearly every well known feature of the 18th century construction. We take special pains with the marquetry of our colonial frames, and at the low price at which we are selling these chairs thero is nothing that can compare with them at the price in this country.
