8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ABATURDAY, JANUARY 3, JANITORS WANT HARD COAL They Olaim Slack Will Not Farnish the Required Amount of Heat, BOARD DECIDES TO MAKE AN EXPERIMENT Expert Firemen Talk Upon the Subject of Coal and Opine that Janitors of the School Bulldings Do Not Know How to Use the Fuel. For a few days slack coal has been used In the furnaces of the Webster, Walnut Hill High and Bancroft schools as an experiment, but on account of the objections of the Janitors of the buildings the superintendent of school buildings has decided to discon tinue its use until he receives further orders from the Board of Education. The janitors sald that it was almost impossible for them to have the buildings heated In time for school when slack used, although th fires were ban afternoon after the close of the The experiment coal was ed every ay's sessions. had beefi tried with th Intention of substituting slack for the other kinds of coal used if it proved a suc The heat given out is as great and the pense would be much less. Last_year §15,000 was expended for three kinds of which were used, soft nut soft lump and hard coal. Of the soft nut 1,600 tons were bought at a contract price of $2.74 per ton, of the soft lump 1,500 tons at contract price of §2.95 per ton, and of the hard .coal 800 tons at a contract price of $1.75. In order to ex coal, verify the statements of the Janitors that heat could not be raised in time to warm the buildings before school eral of the cngincers and firemen in*the large buildings in the city were seen Engineer Houck of the court house spoke about the matter as follows: “The time that it would take to comfortably heat a building as large as one of the school houses depends upon the condition of the boilers. If they were kept clean, I do not think that it should take more than 45 minutes. But by the use of slack a great deal of soot and dirt is de posited in the furnaces, and they would have to be cleancd out at least two or three times a week, particularly the flues, the combustion chamber and the grates, The fire would have to be attended to more frequently and would have to be spread evenly grates. A great many of the janitors in the school buildings do not know how to do this, and it may account for their inability to raise the necessary amount of heat.” Beth the engineer and the fireman of the New York Life building thought that suffi- clent heat could be raised in at least an hour. The fireman said: “Slack coal makes more work than other kinds of coal, but I think it Is an easicr fire to keep going. Fuel has to be thrown on more frequently, but it burns well if put on evenly. Many of the janitors probably do not know how to use it. 1 can heat this building in 25 min- utes with slack coal, although my fires are banked only half as long as thosc in the school buildings, That, however, would not make much difference, ard I think that an hour at most would rai The fireman in the city id that he was using slack coal and could raise enough steam in a little more than an hour to heat the building, although he started a new fire every morning. He also thought that if the Janitors knew how to use it, enough heat could be raised in at least an hour, if the furnaces were cleaned out frequently, every two or threc days, or blown out every day after the fires were banked. When told of the statement of the janitors that the schools could not warmed in time, he asked the «question, “What time do they get up?” and thought that this had considerable to do with the matter, More tons of slack coal would have to be used than of other coal, but all the engineers and firemen were positive in their statement that it would be cheaper. Slack coal re- quires more attention, and gives more work, but sufficient steam can be raised in an hour at most, they all say. — Pierce was_president “Shen the manufac ture of Dr. Price’s Baking Powder was be- gun.

The proprietor of the People's Clothing company threatens to bring suit for damages agalnst the city as a result of the enforc ment of a resolution introduced in the coun- cil by Councilman Cahn and passed at one of the recent meeting It appears that some councilmen had been greatly bothered by runners and cappers for clothing houses during the past year. Most of these houses are on Farnam street, but for all that the runners were accusiomed to ply their business right in front of stores of the ccuncilmen. When some customer was about to enter one of these stores one of the runners would step up to him,and tell him not to buy there, but to go to the house he represented, where he comld get the same g00ds much cheaper. This method of busi- ness was not at all pleasing to the council- men, as it did not tend to bring any gold into thelr coffers, Finally they got sick of the thing and determined to have it remedied, The old ordinance provided that a license could be issued to runners for clothing houses, but. it did not restrain them within any limits, The consequence was that they went wherever they pleased in order to got customers, and It was no unusual proceed- Ing for them to get in front of a rival house and golicit business. Mr. Cahn introduced an amendment in the council which provide that the runners should not be allowed outside the sidewalks in front of the houses where they were employed, The amendment was passed, and when the licenses were issued for the coming year this condition was in- corporated. He forgot, however, that li- censes were ssued either January 1 or July 1. Al the clothicrs who have runners, excopt Arnstein, obtained their licenses on the first date, while Arnsteln's were issued on July 1 and consequently do not expire until July 1 of this year. As soon as Cahn discovered this he introduced a concurrent resolution cancelling Arnstein’s licenses and ordered the city clerk to refund him the licenso money, which resolution was passed, But Arnstein was not by any means pleased with this and did not obey the resolution. His runners went wherever they pleased & heretofore, — FIRE AND POLICE, Thoy Grant Licenses and Decide to Buy Firo Hose of the Best Quality.

Deputy United States Marshal Liddiard, who recently arrived from the Sioux reserva- tion, relates a new chapter in the interest- ing story of the murder of Red Horse, the old Sioux chieftain. Red Horse, one of the*best known Indians in the west, was beaten to death by Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird, near Rushyille, re- cently. They claimed religious power to do it. The Indian police captured them, and they were subsequently released on bal, A few days ago Liddiard was notified that Susie Red Horse, the squaw of the murdered chieftain, had gone on the war path with a big knife in one hand, a rifle in the other, and a large crop of vengeance planted in her heart. She had just heard that her hus- band’s murderers were out on bail. Aimost immediately she cut her hair off, the signifi- cance of this action being a thne honored declaration of war among the Four Hundred on the reservation. Then the irate squaw gave away all her property, thus clear! indicating that she wauted to die, but that before she did so she intended o avenge the death of her husband. Susie then started on the trail of Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird, who were kept in hiding Ly thoir friends. Susie had a record. When Fast Tiunder and his com- panion In crime were released on bail they remembered the fghting qualities of Red Horse's buxom widow and they kept out of sight, But a mutual friend betrayed the fact of their relcas As soon as Susie, armed to the teeth, started on a search for the hiding assassing the Indian police knew full well that if she was not stopped there would be two strange Irdian faces in heaven. The police at once started in pursuit of the fighting widow, In the meantime the utmost excitement prevailed on the reservation. Word was dis- patched to Deputy Marshal Liddiard, but he knew what interference in a Sioux family quarrel meant. Although a brave man, he left it to the Indian police to settle, Just a bit of dramatic tinge was, added to the will | the case, when the determined squaw went from place to places seeking to find the hiding place of the menwwho killed her husband. She fmplored tha ypung braves to betray their whereabouts. st Thunder wasn't making much nelée in the meantime and Plenty Bird sighed for win They both knew what it meamt to meet a squaw with a bad heart, especially when she was a walking arsenal. ;8o they lay low, Just as Susie Red Horse struck a clew and there was hape of facing her husband's murderers the Indiap police overtook her and she was compelled to surrender her weapons A few days later the police arranged an “atonement “feast's as an_armistice. The friends of Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird gave the widow a number of ponies and reasoned with her to Tet the law take its course, And right here is where Cupid got into the game as a potential factor in peace. The gentle Susie 18 44 years c1d and well seasoned with Sioux ugliness, but a young brave, who is suspected of being a martyr in behalf of his friend Fast Thunder, paid his addresses to the widow, notwithstanding that her raven hair not hanging down her back it had yét grown out again. He whispered the message of love in the ear of the listening quaw and thus disarmed vengeance with a dose cf fla In case it becomes A mateh, it is rumored around the federal buildings that Deputy Marshal Liddiard will be best man at the ceremonies. - - was not as Acts other quicker Dr. and Price's Cream PR VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS, further than any Baking Powder. mes are reviving in our section of the country,” sald W.

Barton of the Omaha-Grant smelter. “The present low price of silver in this country, together with the small mint charges of 4 cents in Mexico, enables us to do this. If silver advances in value, however, above 60 cents to any great extent, we cannot continue to send American silver to Mexican mints for coinage. Other smelt- ers and silver men in this country are doing the same as we are. Guggenheimer & Sons of New York, extensive in their line of busi- , are doing it, 1 do not look for any slation favorable to silver interests at ion of congress, not even a bill for the free coinage of the American product, because the well known hostility of President Cleveland ~ to silver interests would preclude the success of such a measure. The president would doubtless veto any enactment that would tend to improve the chances of silver. There is absolutely no hope for free and un- limited coinage for some time. However, mining men generally anticipate a slight ad- vance in silver before long, and when this occurs the exports to Mexico will cease at once. Silyer is now at 60 cents, and it fs liable to jump higher."” “The message of Governor Holcomb s an able, splendid and satisfactory document, characteristic of the man,” somewhat en- thusiastically said J.
