ELABORATE SCHOOL SYSTEM OF GERMANY in England, Fi e, and Japan— nts School Rules Sweden, Russi Reports recelved from abroad, compiled by the National Bureau of Education, furnish an fnstructive study of the condition of forelgn schools and the systems in vogue Next to the United States, Germany sends more of her children to school than any other nation. In that empire every parent s required to send to school every boy or girl between the ages of 6 and 14. No chil- dren can attend any but public schools, un- less their teacher, establishing a private school, has undergone a rigid examination The boys and girls going to the pubiic schools in that country must get up every morning and be at their desks at 8 o'clock. They re- main at school until 1 o'clock, except in the case of the very young children, who are dismissed at noon. There Is a vacation of one week at Christmas, one at Easter, one at Whit Sunday and three at harvest time, in September. is harvest holiday corresponds to our summer vacation. The German stu- dents, therefore, get six weeks more school ing each year than is had by the school children of the United States. But worse than all this, the boys and girls must also go to school on Saturday, Sunday being the only whole hollday in each week. Two half days of lelsure, however, are allowed. In the citles these are usually spent in such pla as the botanical dens, museums, etc., where everything is fully explained by their teachers, who always accompany them. A peculiarity of the German school system {8 that a parent, on first sending his son to primary school, at the age of 6, must then decide whether he i to go through the class- feal, sclentific or business high schools. A sepirate elementary course, beginning with the first day of tuition, prepares the pupil for one of cach of these. Now, if a father wighes one of his boys to be a physician, an other to be a clergman and another to fol low mercantile pursuits, he must enter eac in a separate elementary school at the age of 6. The lawer grades, in Germany, only require four years of study, when the high sckcols are reached. In the high scho hoveever, the course Is 10 years. Thus, by the time a boy is graduated at the high s ol he is at least 20 years of age. If he desires to take an extensive course in the university the army service required of each boy Is re- duced to one year. Thus each boy is en- couraged to learn as much as he can, for the seke of curtailing this service. In Germany boys and girls attend the same schools only in the lower grades. There was not a woman's university in Germany until a few years ago. Thero are ten times as many men as women teaching school in Ge mavy. This is on account of the long sum- mer excursions, Which women could not convenently conduct. A great part of the hervest vacation is spent in long journeys around the country and sometimes into foreign covntries. Corporal punishment Is allowed in German_ schools, Attached to many of the German schools are asylums where parents of the working classes can leave their children in the morn- ing and call for them on their return from work in the evening. In fhese are found gymnastic apparatus and tools for light manual training work. They are somewhat like the playroom of the children’s build- ing at the World's fair. Similar institutions are kept by women, who take care of bables during working hours. These are also connected with the schools. SCHOOLS FOR BABIES. In France public schools are provided for bables only 2 years old. These are con ducted as kindergartens and are always un- der the charge of women. Parents are not obliged to send their children to the infant grades, but most of them take advantage of this excellent system. Between 6 and 14, however, all boys and girls in Franc: must be in school, according to a law strictly en- forced. Corporal punishment is strictly for- bidden in France. In that republic, as in Germany, school begins daily at 8 o'clock and lets’ out about 1. The pupils return @gain in the afternoon, when they are taught singing, sewing, drawing, manual training and such studles as will not tax their brain. The school year begins in Oc- tober and lasts until the following Septem- ber, there being but one month's summer vacation. On account of the preponderance of Catholicism in France, however, there are many religious holidays besides Christ mas, as, for instanca, Passion week. Thurs- day, Instead of Saturday, Is a free duy On beginning school In France each boy and girl is given a blank book, in which he must write the first exercise of the month in each branch of his studies. This always shows his progress and standing, and is a part of the official records. he French have lately introduced military drill Into ali of thelr primary schouls, thus every youngster of the male persuasion has bras buttons, guns and swords to his heart's con- tent. The sccondary public schools of France, known as “lycees,” have boarding apartments, although children may also at tend as day scholars. The boarders must rise at 5:30 in the morning and go to bed at 8:30 at night. They get four meals a day, however, which in a measure make up for these unhappinesses. RUSSIA'S STRICT RULES ‘The rules governing school children in Rus- sla are applied not only when they are at school, but when on the street, or even at home. For Instance, children in certain grades are forbldden to visit institutions of pleasure, excepting only the botanical gar- dens. They can go to the theaters only when permission is glven by the authorities, Tt is also against these rules for school children to attend “public balls, masquerades, clubs, dancing evenings, tea gardens, cafe houses, confectionaries, billiard halls," ete., or to go boating, take pleasure walks or to be out of doors later than 9 o'clock. Each schoolboy has a regular uniform, which must be worn at all times. To this is added a knapsack for books ar other school supplie It is a serious violation of the laws for a child t appear on the street without all of his buttons buttoned. The law also demands that school- boys shall salute teachers and officlals of the state with a polite bow, at th time removing their hat Switzerland has many strange customs re- garding the public schools. Great care is taken in that country to teach the laws of health and cleanliness. In some places bath- rooms are bullt In connection with the chools, and in these pupils are taught the chemical effects of soap and water. Some cities have {nstruction in swim- ming, skating and open-air games as parts of the school courses. In many pla government furnishes warm dinners and clothing to poor school children. Oftentimes, when they come from long distances in the raln, dry garments are kept in the schools, in order that they may have a change. IN SWEDEN, 1t is sald that flliteracy is almost unknown In Sweden. All childven are expected to he in_school betwen the ages of 7 to 14, which rule is strictly euforced after the ninth year Women In that country are allowed to belong 10 the school boards. Swedish boys and girly have to attend school only tbirty-six weeks in each year, leaving almost four months of hollday. “Swedes do not believe In incumber- ing the children of the primary grades with oo much studies, but add more practical jn- struction than is given In other countries, For instance, one of their studles fis “Th Effects of Alcoholic Drinks on the Human Organism.” School is held every day in the week, but Saturday Is reserved for manual tralving. An original manual training sys- tem now gainlng headway in the Swedish schools promises to become popular in many ogressive countries. This is known as the ‘Slojd,” which is a combination of manual training and Delsarte. It is for the most part modeling in wood, sewing and doing otber practical work, the positions of tho bedy assumed while thus employed uniting in & measure with gymnastics, Girls are taught knitting, sewing, darning, pattern drewing ,and cutting and dressmaking, sll the movements of which work are so a raiged as to develop certain necessary muscles, SCHOOLS IN JAPAN. The excellent public school system of far- off Japan 10 a great extent tells the tale of ' Bt rapid rise of that nation to a same ces the | tient high plane of enlightenment. The pupils of this empire are taught according to the combined principles of the French and American systems, with some original ad- ditions, Japanese boys and girls are for the most part educated together. Japan provides public kindergartens for children not less than 3 years of age, the parents, however, each paying $1 a month to pro- vide a part of thelr maintenance. Even In these low grades the little ones are re- quired to Indulge dally in “conversations on morals.” In the higher schools girls are taught such subjects as ‘“mode of pre- serving flowers, mode of burning incense; mode of folding papers, sitting etiquette, etiquette In tea party, standing etiquette,” all included under the study of “etiquette, and, in addition, under the leading “household management,” they get ‘‘hy glenic training of children, nursing of pa attention to furniture, garments, washing, hair dressing, income and expen- diture and employing servants.” Where is there to be found a better courss for the new woman? BRITISH METHODS. John Bull, from whose kingdom we heir 80 much proud anl pom talk, has onl given his children free schoolng within th past twenty-flve years. As a who'e, the Eng- lish public school system is now much 1ke own. Corporil punishment, however, 18 y generally employed. As for vacations, young Britisher, like the German young- ster, gets only his week at Christmas, E: ter and” Whitsuntids, and three weeks ony in summer, commencing with the first Monday In August. In London schocl opens &t o'clock, adjourns for lunch at noon, and holds another session in the afternoon fr 2 until 4:30 o'clock. And woe of the English boy who plays truant. If, after a certa number of warnings, he fails to make a eat- {efactory record of attendance at scho’l, he is arrested by an officer and brought befo e a magistrate, who sentences him to lmprison- ment in the “truint school.” The average length of his confinement is n'nety-five days. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The Bureau of Education being the na- tional headquarters of all our own schools, is always considering the most modern educa tional systems, to be recommended to the various local boards. Perpendicular penman- is a new departure which it is at present considering. This method has already been adopted in Washington and other citics our Ono of the latest educational inventlons is a cheap profile map to,be furnished each pupil engaged in the sfudy of geography These charts are made of cardboard, which is pressed to resemble a plaster cast. Some are covered with a washable coating. Cities boundaries, rivers, etc., are to be traced by pencil. The pupil fs thus given a vivid idea of the physical features of each country. The latest educational system expected to revolutionize the schools of the world is “Correlation.” The Bureau of Education has been investigating this for several months Promoters of this system believe that great economy is needed in the culture of th vouth. For instance, lessons from history lassic languages, geography, geology and other sciences, et>., studied in historical se- quence can be more rapidly and vividly un- derstood. Educat Notes. The Chicago public schools are full and runring o The Board of Education has already leased 213 rooms outside, and that is Dot enough. Hon.

A magnificent gift to the cause of edu- catfen and a worthy climax to a century of grand public-spirited generosity would be the proposed National Masonic university contemplated by the Knights Templar. A permanent endowment fund of $50,000,000 would place such an institution at once upon an unrivaled plane so far as resources and facilities would be concerned. While the university {s to be in no sense a home or charitable institution it will be open, regard- less of thelr means, to the children of all Master Masons. Ten years has been agreed upon as the minimum age of admission, and the doors and classes will be open to girls as well as boys. The scheme contemplates a preparatory or academic department, an in- dustrial school, and departments of liberal arts, law, medicine, science, theology and tectnology. The university is intended to ac- commodate 10,000 students. Small Fry Swindlers.

B, Vrooman Desoribes What Will Survive Orumbling of Oreeds, SIMPLE GOSPEL PRINCIPLES WILL REMAIN People Are Forsaking the Old Dog- mas and Seeking Only the Plain and Essentinl Teaching of the Bible, At the First Congregational church yester- day morning the pulpit was occupled by Rev. F. B. Vrooman of Chicago, who, It is ex- pectéd, will be the next pastor of the church. He is a young man of recognized ability and has risen rapidly in power and influence since he began his ministerial career. His text yesterday was: “‘And this word, yet once maore, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."” “It is many years," began Rev. Vrooman, “since the dear ancestors who founded our creeds passed away.. They were zealous and strong and not over tolerant. Belleving in- tensely, hating intensely, they served their God by serving him the best they Knew. Their influence can never dle, though the forms the instituted are ephemoral.” This age, the speaker said, is full of sur- prises. Men think and do what they never did before. All sorts of theories are rife. The noise of great forces may be detected hissing for a vent and one can hear the sub- terranean rumble if the ear Is put to the ground. This same spirit of change and transition is present in the religious world. We find that the creeds of the fathers do not fit us. Life means growth, for life and growth are twin creatures of God ABANDONING THE CREEDS. People do not believe their creeds any more, They are going back to the bible, and now draw from that book cof books their inspiration. So it becomcs important to inquire, “What | are tho things which are passing away and {what are the things wh'ch cinnot b2 shiken?* In a time this, lylng between two epochs of the 's history, it is a difi- cult thing to determine the beliefs of man. But for the sake of those who doubt for the future of Christianity, it should be said that there was never a time when there was so much hope for the universal spread of the gospel as now. It was pointed out by the speaker that there are three things about which gathers God's revelations, God, man and immortality. The revelation of the relation which man sustains to the Everlasting God is the subject of which Christ treats. Among other reve- lations of God is a bock, preserved for us, called the bible. It contains the history of a marvelous man known as Jesus. He has given other revelations, but none like His Divine Son of Nazareth. ITS THREE GREAT GIFTS. The three pecullar and special gifts of this book to the world were grouped thus: First, the revelation of the character of God in Christ; second, tne revelation of the char- acter and possibilities of man in Christ; third, the revelation of eternal life, the eternal life which can be nothing but eternal in Christ. The thought was enlarged upon that God has revealed His character in Christ. That He 1s love; not an angry God, but one who yearns for His children. ~Christ is also God's revelation of perfect humanity. He is needed by man as man's complement to make him complete. The proof of Immortality, Mr. Vrooman said, fs within us by reason of the presence of the Divine. He found that along these lines a reformation is going on in the church and men are clearing away the rub- bish of the age and returning to the simple Dbible doctrine. COMMERCIAL TRAV LER PREACHER Address of E. L. Cobb at Association Hull Yesterday. There was good singing and a room filled with over 100 young men at the Young Men’s Christaln association building yester- day afternoon. Secretary Frank Ober in- troduced E. L. Cobb as a man who sells goods six days In tho week and preaches three times on Sunday. Mr. Cobb said that he was 60 years young, that he never grew old, and that however old his body might grow he would always | be young at heart. His topic was “Selfih- ness,”” and he remarked that it w same book which taught seif-s Wesley had said, “Get you can and give all you can.” Mr. Cobb Eaid that this was a good motto; he urged his hearers to get and to keep on ge'ting, only to take great care that they were getting the right kind of thing. He spoke of the folly of the gambler and of the miser who thought that they were getting the right thing, and wasted their wholo lives In their vam en- deavor to find something that would satisfy them, He related his own experience and told how the panic of '73 had swept away his factory, his home and his entire earthly for- tune. He thanked God, though, that his best fuvestment was kept intact, that it was stored “‘away where thieves cannot break in nor moths corrupt.”” This he had not only kept, but had increased, and was continuing to Increase it as he spoke for his Master, from the acrifice. John all you can, save all PULPIT EDITORIALS REV. FRANK CRANE. coceccecoocoocoe To the New Police Board—The question that 15 in the minds of the better element of tha citizens of this place, gentlemen, s0 much “How did you get it?” but are you going to do with it?” The varying phases of the political fight by which you are made conssrvators of our police executive department were so hot and strong that per- haps you may be deluded into thinking that now all s over and the public mind is at rest. Not at all. Our interest in your ac- tions is just begun., We want to know what you will do. Are you going to follow in the footsteps of your predecessors? If so, we have but jumped from the frying pan into the fire, Are you going to disregard your ]r aths of office and show the same contempt of law that we have seen heretofore? You know the meaning of these questions, A part of our city is set off as a little hell in which practical anarchy is allowed. The soy- 3 gn law of our state commands you to suppress and combat the vice of public prostitution wherever you may find it ‘Whether this {s good pelicy or not is none of your business. You are to enforce laws, not make them. With horror we have seen former administrators of law create a “‘burnt district,” a rendezvous for all that is bestial and devilish in humanity, drive the aban- doned women to this precinet, play into the hands of real estate sharks, set up a public center of debauch for every youth in the country coutiguous to Omaha, and do all this, knowing it to be iliegal, under the impudent plea that they thought it best. This pulpit has pointed out these things in plain words to the former board and has called the attention of the legislature to them. The decent people of the city have approached both board and council with great petitions asking simply for the en- forcement of law, only to be treated with evasion on the one hand and insult on the other. What are you going to do? It you do your plain duty you will be more “honored than any officers ever were by this city. If you do as those before you have done, we will wait with patience your downfall, and pray It may come soon. =We have no tears for the old board, for they refused to obey the law. If you do the same you will have and deserve the curses of every pure woman's heart, the scorn and contempt of every man who honors his oath, and the condemnation of that God who bates a lle. Will you enforce the law? If they can do it in New York City you can do it here. The New York police com- mission started out, as you would have to begin, with the pot-house politiclans sneering at them and with the tremendous power of organized vice striking against them by fair means or foul. They have conquered by sheer force of right. The press nuw applauds them. The liquor dealers have openly given up the fight. What the New York board has done you can do. Wil you do it? Let me ask each of you to read Mr. Roose- velt's article on “The Enforcement of Law" In the September Férum current. You will see by his account of the fight In New York that you have not ani untried field before you; you have a godd. precedent. Almost every phase of that eontest could be dupli- cated here. He ways: ““The police board stands squarely in favor of the honest enforcement of law.” That's what we ask you to do. He further say ‘Our opponents have not dared to meet the issue squarely and fairly. They have trled to befog It and ralse false issues.” Such has been the case here. The issue s not what oughtto be the law, but what is the law. As to party success he says: “I am far too good a republican to belleve that the homest enforcement of law by a republican can redound to the discredit of his party.” ~Again, “I am not an imprac- tical theorist; I am a practical politiclan, But 1 do not believe that practical polities and foul politics are necessarlly synonymous terms.” As for the “blue law'" cry, he says: *‘We did not resurrect dead laws; we did not start a crusade to enforce blue laws. All that we did was to take a law which was very much alive, but which has been used only for purposes of blackmall, and enforce it equitably as regards all persons.” The law here js enforced to put rent money into the hands of the sharks and leeches who own the burnt district and to furnish bribe money to heaven knows how many officials. You need mot be puzzled nor hesitate. There Is no question of policy for you to decide. You have only to be honest. do your plain duty. You have only to obey the law. At the threshold of office we, the people, ask you if you are going to enforce our laws or the beer-soaked opinions of professional city politiclans. You have a magnificent opportunity to become renowned with an honest fame throughout this coun- try by going to the bottom of the corrupt mass of criminality that infests this city and making a clean sweep of the whole pes- tiferous brood. If you do so you will go down to fame as the first board which chose the high path of honor and not the usual low and devious windings of chicane, sophis- try and policy. The two paths are before you. What will you do? Here {s the clear utterance of the Outlook, may it ring into your hearts: “The proposal to ‘license prostitiution is a crime against woman and an insult to man. A proposition to sanction polygamy and establish the harem would be honorable in comparison. Law cannot abolish vice, but ought never to ap- prove it. What law cannot prohibit, moral influence should be left free to prevent Licensing liquor selling affords no precedent for licensing prostitution. All liquor selling is not wrong. We are reluctant to speak of this tople in these columns, but there are times when the disagreeable s a duty. When there are politiclans contriving plans that licentiousness may be made safe, doctors declaring that it is a hyglenic necessity, lying defamers declaring that all men are impure, immoral moralists apologizing for vice, and even wives and mothers half persuaded that Christianity has no better message for the fallen than ‘Go and sin in safety,’ it is time to speak plainly. = e WANTS $10,000 You have only to DAXON DAMAG S. Su 8 Bleyele Manu ring Company for Malicious Arrest. Chapter No. 2, in the history of the trou- bles of Matthew 0. Daxon, the bicycle dealer, has been opened up in the district court. This time Daxon turns the tables on his eastern prosceutor, the Gormually & Jeftrey Manufacturing company. As a con- sequence of the dismissal of th» complaint filed against him charging embezzlement Daxon has Instituted an action for malicious arre He asks damages in the sum of $10,000. Several weeks ago Daxon was arrested upon a warrant issued out of the court of Justice Cockrell. The case was taken on a change of venue before Justice Smith, ball belng taken for Daxonm's appearance. The trial on September 20 on preliminary hear- ing resulted in the justice sustaining the points made by Daxon's attorney to the effect that Daxon was being prosecuted on account of sales of machines which had been shipped to him as a buyer. The defense further claimed that it was not shown that any crime was committed in the state or that Daxon was over 18 years of age. At once, on the decision of the justice being an- nounced, the action for falsely and ma- liciously' causing Daxon’s arrest was begun in district court. Daxon alleges that his repu- tation_has been ruined and that he has been brought into infamy and disgrace by reason of the case. A criminal case still pends in police court brought at the instance of the firm. In district court it has sued Daxon to recover the sum of $1,198.28 on account of goods sold. ight of the German Papers. The rivalry between two of the German newspapers of Omaha has borne fruit at last, and a fight to a finish is promised in the district court before the Vorwaerts and the German Tribune will either concede that its rival has a larger circulation, When a few days ago the German Tribune was awarded by the Board of County Com- missioners a_contract for publishing the de- linquent tax list, the action was taken under a threat of legal consequences. These have all_been invoked by Ernest Benninghoven and his partners, Gottlieb and Leo. The three have combined forces and brought an injunction against the county board, Treas- urer Irey and Oscar D. Barring, publisher of the Tribune. It Is alleged, as grounds for the action, that December 20, 1894, Ed- ward Schmeiser was editing the Tribune. Schmeiser conceived a desire to do some county printing, and accordingly made an afdavit setting forth the fact that his paper had over 1,500 circulation. This he filed with a request for the job of printing the de- linquent list. The Benninghovens soon be- stirred themselves and set to work to size up the Tribune's clrculation. No doubt ex- isted but it was far below the mark alleged. In fact, Benninghoven says he has discov- ered that its circulation is scarcely 500, and that Schmelser knew all the while that this was so. It is averred that the Tribune fraudulently set to work to deceive and bunco the county commissioners, which it succeeded in doing. The equity court is asked to aid in undeceiving that body. Why Louise ¥ 11 Wants Divorce. Loulse Hubbell has a sad tale to impart to the ears of the equity judge who sits next term of court to restore the unhappily mar- ried to single blessedness. After two days of married life she avers that her spouse, John N. Hubbell, began abusing her in a most shameful fashion, heaping epithets on her head by the score in a most cruel fashion. The couple were married on October 26 of last year. This course of things continued until March, when Mrs. Hubbell says that her husband varied the domestic rancor by accusing his wife of stealing $40 out of his trunk. He became So threatening that she fled for her life. The money was found where Hubbell had left it. Mrs. Hubbell says she cannot return again to domestic life. The equity court has granted a divorce to Matilda Strominskl. Her husband is a non- resident. District Oourt ) The Omaha Street) Railway company and John Welsh are engaged n u bit of litigation over the possession ‘of $3,000. Welsh was a passenger in ths company’s train, bound from South Omaba to Omana, June 22 last, while the South Thinfeenth street route was being used. Afterihe had walked around the end of the car, having disembarked at Thirteenth and Harmey street, Welsh says that without warning B~ was run into by a southbound car injured on his side, shoulder and spine,sand ho wai's damages. Parke Godwin has started suit against Marshall, Field & Od. of Chicago, to get a Judgment for $3,600..( Godwin alleges he is assignee of a claimiof the 8. P. Morse Dry Goods company, which had some litigation a year ago over a lot of silks which the Chi- cago firm had replevined. The Morse com- pany obtained judgment. The judgment, Godwin says, fs now his, but remains unset- tled to his damage in the sum named. The new district court dockets are lssued and contain a list of 1,671 cases on the civil list. The criminal st has within the last fow wecks been steadlly mounting higher. It now numbers ninety-five cases, e — HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION.

Strest Commissioner Kaspar states that the men who are employed on the street gangs of the clty are of the poorer classes. The suffering, he states, which was felt In thelr ranks several months ago would sur- prise any one unacquainted with thelr hand- to-mouth existence. It is well known that a few monthe ago there were men and thelr wives actually begging for an opportunity to work for $1.50 a day on the strect force. “We haven't enough In our house to make a meal off of” was the frequent state- ment. When the day labor system was put into effect men went to work on the streets who actually did not have money with which to buy their dinner. When the old contract system of street cleaning was In vogue seventeen hands was the highest number employed on the work of cleaning Omaha's streets, These men were paid all the way from 90 cents to $2.25 a day. They worked from 9 o'clock at night until about 11 o'clock the next day, 1If they worked over ten hours they got nothing extra. If they worked less than ten hours they were docked on their pay. Since the new day labor system was put into operation the street cleaning depart- ment put into employment during August fifty-seven men and six teams. The repair department in August employed 134 men. The time each has worked has varled con- siderably, especially in the cas2 of the lat- ter, where the work cansists simply in re- pairing damaged streets. Yet a uniform price of $1.50 a day for ten hours work has prevailed. The city council passes a monthly appropriation sheet at its first monthly meet- ing for these men. In August the two ap- propriation sheets aggregated $1,849.26 for the barrel men and $2,346.55 for the repair men. The question fs now being agitated whether the city council cannot be induced to make weekly appropriations. The average earnings of the barrel men are only $32 per month each; many have families dependent on them; most of them, it is found, sell their time checks in spite of a b per cent shave, in order to get their money, instead of waiting a full month and possibly starving. The city has plenty of money to pay these men weekly, Treasurer Dumont states and no legal reason exists, so it is contended, why the city council should not take steps to pay them off that often, in view of the peculiar circumstances of the case. At the next meeting of the Central Labor union the aftair is to bo brought up by some of its members, who are already making an active canvass n favor of the weekly pa tem, Members of the depariment of public works have expressed themselves favorably to the move. JONES' UNLUCKY ERRA Tries to Bail Out n Fri Himself Jailed. Tom Jones ran up against a whole lot of hard luck early Sunday morning, when he came to the police station to bail out a friend, and what made the hard luck harder was the fact that it came as a big surprise, He Is in jail himself now, with the probabil- ity that he will not get out as soon as his friend, for he is booked with the charge of grand larceny against him. About midnight a colored denizen of the Third ward, Ole Johnson, who has been in Jail on numerous occasions, was arrested as a suspicious character and for carrying con- cealed weapons. A couple of hours later Tom Jones, who is a saloon keeper in the burnt district and a friend of Ole's, came to the police station to try to get Ole out. The bail was fixed-at $50 and Jomes had only $35. While he was arguing with the captain to have the bond reduced a teiephone messag: was received from Officer Kelley, who wa patroliing the burnt district, inquiring if Jones was there, and requesting that, if he was, he be placed under arrest on the charge of larceny. Thereupon Jones was invited to step behind the railing and was put behind the bars. In addition to $27, which he as- serted was his own, a woman's pocketbook containing three diamond shirt studs and §12 in money was found on him, A few minutes later May Davis, a_prosti- tute, was sent to the station to be held as complaining witness against Jones. She was drunk and charged that while she was in her room in that condition Jones robbed her of the diamonds and money. She valued the diamonds at $300, She said, however, that at the time she thought Jones was only Joking. Jones tells a different story, although he does not deny that the pocketbook with its contents belongs to the Davis woman. He says that the woman enter:d his saloon very much under the Influence of liquor and gave the studs and money to him with the request that he take care of them, becauss she feared that some one might steal them from her. A friend who was with him cor- roborated thig statement. MEN. D, d and is Preparing for the Contests. Among the senior and junior classes of the High scheol there Is already considerable interest manifested in the matter of the an- nual oratorical contests. The would-be con- testants are already priming themselves for the lists, - Prof. Lewlis and Secretary Gillan have re- newed their offer first made last year for prizes for the best declalmer, the best orator and the best reciter. The aggregate of the three prizes is $30. The different classes are beginning to prepare for the class contests. After the selection is made, which usually takes place in the winter vacation, the successful competitors will ap- pear in the annual March contest to try for the prizes. —_———— Look Out for the Meaxles.

Ash- ton of Omaha took first premium on cock- erel and first and second on pullet. Bert Johnson and John PFitzgerald indulged in some unscemly behavior, which included the #=ing of a revolver, on Farnam street yesterday, and were locked up. A blazing roof at 3402 Pinkney street called out the fire department last night a few min- utes after 8 o'clock. The fire was quickly extinguished, The damage was light, as the fire was confined to the roof. A Pinkerton detective arrived in Omaha yesterday from Jefferson City, Mo., with requisition papers for Barnes and Foster, the He immediately started for Lincoln with the pupers. The prisoners will probably be taken to Kansas City today. The body of H. H. Millan, who formerly resided at 3857 Charles street, this city, Is expected here today. Mr. Millan was ac- cidentally killed at Buena Vista last Wednes- day by a locomotive running over him as he was crossing some rallway tracks in front of the depot. There will be a meeting of subscribers, stockliolders and those interested in the Omaha Fair and Speed associatlon at the Commerclal club rooms, Sixteenth and Far- nam strects, on Monday, September 23, at 8 o'clock p. m., to hear and consider reports cn the work of the association, and for the transaction of very important business, which will be presented to the meeting.

Some more, some less, he more would soon overtake the less if every mother would look to the tidiness of her boy's clothes or buy the kind prepared to stay tidy. But cheap clothes never look tidy, you say. Quite so; even bet- ter clothes look untidy sometimes. - That depends altogether how a garment is made up and the quality of cloth in use.

Cloth “of that sort can't find storeroom here. Won't have ‘em as a gift. We won't have anything but first rate cloth—first rate cheviot or worsted or cassimere.
