The experts in charge of this grand display will arrive in Omaha tomorrow. Achille Philion, who has created such a sensation among everybody who has been o fortunate as to see him in his marvelous per- formances on the spiral tower, during the pust week, will glve two performances, and the management of Courtland is thinking of giving an additional matinee, one at 2 o'clock and another at 4 o'clock, besides the regular nightly exhibition at §:30 o'clock. The famous royal Moorish troupe of ten Arabs, who have performed to such appreciative andiences the past week, will also give exhi- Ditions of their great acts at all performances, and as the aifferent railroads all make ex- ceedingly low rates to Omaha on this occa- slon, a fair-sized attendance, to say the least, is already assured.

See Falconer's ad, THE OMAHA DAILY BEEH: SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 1895, IA MOST REMAREABLE LETTER Acting City Attorney Cornish Gives Advice on the Treasury Defaleation. In the absence of City Attorney Connell, Acting City Attorney Cornish sent the follow- ing letter to Mayor Bemis in responte to a request for Information as to the course pre- scribed by law for the mayor in the emer- gency presented by the Bolln defalcation: OMAHA, June 27, 1895.—Gerge P. Bem's Mayor, City: Dear Sir—In response to request for information as to ycur legal duty in the matter of Henry Bolln, city treasurer, permit me to state: Section 99 of the charter provides that the treasurer shall keep all money In his hands belonging to the city or school district sep- arate and distinct from his own moneys, and prohibits him from using any such mcney or any warrants or other ge uritizs in his tody or receiving any interest thereon for his own use or benefit, and provides further that any violation of said provision ehall subjact sald treasurer to immediate removal from cffice by the eity council, which is authori: to declare such office vacant, and the mu thereafter, with the consent of the city coun- cil, shall appoint a successor, By this pro- vision the city council alone can declare office cant, By section 172 of the charter power to re- move any office holder from office for good and sufficlent cause is conferred upon the di trict court, In such case the mayor mus make and file with the clerk of said court proper charges and specifications against the officer sought to be removed, alleging that he is guilty of maifeasance or misfesance in suc office, or that he is incompetent or neg- lects his duties, or that for any other good and sufficient cause stated he shall be re- moved from his office. On the filing of such charges a writ Is issued out of said court, re- turnable not more than ten days after the service thereof, and if guod and sufficient reason Is shown the court will remove such officer from his said office, During the pen- dency of such proceedings the court may by order suspend the officer from the duties of his_office, Mr. Bolln has rendered unnecessary any such proceedings by tendering his resignation, which has been accepted by the council. Until a successor is appointed, confirmed and qualified, Mr. Bolln and his bondsmen will be liable for the custody and eafe keeping of the city’s money. Any talk in the press or upon the streets to the effect that the bonds- men of Mr. Bolln are released from all fur- ther liability on their bend from the time Mr. Bolln tendered his resignation and it was accepted Is ill-advised and not the law. Permit me to state further that powers conferred upon a mayor and penalties pro- vided by law are intended to subserve a ful purpose and not as a means of Derseoi- tion. That Mr. Bolln has violated the law is beyond question. That the law ought to be rigidly enforced by a city treasurer is also beyond question. It should also be remem- bered that Mr. Bolln has lived in this city for thirty years; that up to two months ago no man had a better reputation for integrity than he, and no official had a better record in the performance of his official duties than Mr. Bolln. If a reputation i to avail any- thing, it ought to be in circumstances like the present. Now, he has lost his reputation, his record in office during several terms past is sullied, his property is all turned over to his bondemen, his means of livelihood are sud- denly cut off, and his sufferings are such as but few endure. To attempt further punish- ment would look more like persecution than the performance of a duty. During your term of office you have estab- lished a reputation of hewing close to the line of right regardless of political machina- tion, and therefore, of all men, you should endeavor to disregard the harangue in the city council and the paragraphs in the news- papers, all of which are so evidently intended to work up sentiment favorable to various political movements this coming fall. To you, fair-minded as you are, the misfortunes of one man are not to be used to achieve sclfish political ends of others. In the case of Henry Bolln there are a number of ex- tenuating circumstances, There {8 no evi- dence thus far that any record ' has been mutilated or falsified in the least. The shortage of that office appeared in the first hour of the investigation the same as after a thorough and complete investigation. There was no attempt to cover or hide a single act. Had Mr. Bolln intended to steal there would have been attempts to cover and conceal, all of which are lacking in this case. Had such been his intention there is no reason why his shortage should not have gone up into the hundreds of thousands instead of as It is. 1t is now evident that not only the city will not lose a dollar, but even Mr. Bolln's bonds- men are not likely to lose a dollar in this matter. The newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding, I have never received an ad- vancement on my salary, but it was simply because I never needed it. Had I been in need of a temporary advancement on my salary, which would be due the following month, Henry Bolln could have accomodated me without the least danger of loss to any person, because my salary would be forth- coming to pay the debt, and in this, he would have but followed a custom that has been in vogue as long as the oldest office holder can remember in this city. This custom is wrong in a business line, and I believe it fortunate for the city that the present pub- licity given to it will stop it in the future. Prior to Mr. Bolln's administration the law was just as severe against the city (reasurer using the money of the clty to make a profit to himself thereby as at present. Yet in the previous _election, wherein John Rush and Mr. McShane were contestants, when the salary of this office was only §1,400, we had the most spirited city election as Letween those two contestants that we lave ever had. Both of them were as honorable men as could be found in the city of Omaha, both of them gentlemen capable of com- manding high salaries and making large money in the usual business, and yet in all probability the campaign expenses of either of the parties amounted (0 more than their salary, and the contest was looked upon by people of this city as a bank fight rather than a politicial contest. Every person who knew anything, knew that the city ‘reasurer who was elected would loan the eity's money to the banks and would himself obtain the interest thereon. Because it was known that every treasurer in the state was doing the same thing, the law was changed allowing money to be loaned by the city direct in- stead of giving this emolument to the office holder. Supposing under the old regime a bank failed, the treasurer would have beer an embezzler; but are we going to condemn all of the honorable men who have held office as_treasurer in this state? What is the difference between their offense and the of- fense of Mr. Bolln? Simply they have loaned money to parties (banks) who repaid the money. Therefore the city lost no money in those cases. But the city loses no money in this case and the violation of the law is no greater. When Alexander Hamilton was killed, Aaron Burr became an outcast, and the formerly honcrable custom of dueling ceased to be honorable in this country. The present disclosure will cast a stain upon Mr, Bolln's reputation for all time to come. It is to be hoped that these illegal methods which have been in vogue will cease, We do not condemn Alexander Hamilton be- cause dueling was such an established ¢ tom that to refuse to engage therein would, in his opinon, have brought dishonor upon him. Should Henry Bolln be so seriously condemned for doing that which had been customary before him, when cvery act of his since the disclosure has been of an honor- able man, as he was always thought to be before that time? The city loses no money and s a gainer in having an obnoxlous custom terminated henceforth. In my opiniou you ought not to be a party to a scheme to make political capital out of the misfortunc of a poor man. Your dut in opinion, is to appoint a treasurer succced Dolln.' If not confirmed, to appoint another. You are responsible for the char- acter of your appointees, the city counell for their acts in coniirming or rejecting. Very respecttully, J.

Some prominent Germans of Omaha, knowing what good the Harugarl order has done during the long years of its existence, made preparations to have also a branch in this city and induced the grand treasurer of the order, Mr. Philip Koehler, who resides in the Windy City, to come here and start the good work, which was done. “Omaha lodge of the German Orler of the Harugarl No. 629" sprang into existence with about forty mem- bers.

Chancellor McLean of the State university, who came up from Lincoln with the gov ernor's party to attend the banquet tendered the chief executive Friday evening, declared himself as confident that the plan decided on for abolishing the preparatory department of the Institution would work well, \ The first of the two sub-freshman years has already been dropped, but it is proposed ’ not to relinquish the work of the second of | these years fully before the spring of 1807, | Full work will be done during the next | school year, ®o as to carry the present | students forward as heretofore to the en- | trance of the college course proper, but the | next year in only half of the studies will instruction be given, it-being expected that |'the high schools will by that time have changed thelr courses so as to include the other half, and this division was decided on for the express purpose of making it more easy for the high schoole to conform to the ultimate scheme, The chancellor not low university ays that the change will the standard of admission to the nor, indeed, modify it materially, but will' ‘require more advanced work in high schools in the state—which will a majority of them—as do not now pre- e fully for the freshman year. It is an empt to solve the problem, already solved In many contiguous states, of bringing the high schools and academies generally and the state university into harmony, o that the university is the next step from all preparatory schools and the head in proper course of the school system of the state. Generally the fears of friends of institu- tions of this character that the ment of preparatory courses will result in decreased attendance and in matriculates not so well qualified have proved groundless and Chancellor McLean is sure they will prove %0 In this case, the univer: belng left free to do what is recognized as the proper work of a university, and the standard of the preparatory schools being raised and made uniform. Asked his sentiment respecting the estab- lishment of a department of agriculture and of mechanic arts in the university, the chancellor said that he favored the general idea, but would not be ready for some time to make specific suggestions, He attaches much importance to the kind of Instruction contemplated, belleving it to be extremely desirable, especially in agricultural states, and that it could be much more economically and effectively furnished as a part of the work of the university than in an institu- tion separately and exclusively maintained for it. Chancellor McLean has been at Lincoln for a week hard at work, though his official term does not begin until July 1. He went to Minneapolis yesterday morning to *“uproot,” as he expressed it, and will probably go to | Denver after that to represent the State uni- versity in the national conference of college presidents.
