Lin- colu, to have the body placed as in the former movument, under a huge biock of cement, where it will be out of the reach of any attempt at wmolestution. Mr. some time ago guined the idea that the remains of his father were not properly secured agalust possible desecration by body suatchers and determined to make an inveatigation on his own account. He went to Springfield in the disguise of a work- ing man and spent much time in and around the new monument. e came to the conclusion that the present location of the body left it in a measurc at the mercy of anybody who sbould desire to carry it away, particularly, as there Is no watchman around the monument at night Ho will take steps at once to have the mat- i remedied, and have the body placed so that it will hereafter be sccure from any nlerference whatever. T ————— South Omaha News ————————————————————— While the city council met at ncon yes- terday it did not pass the §30.000 refunding bond ordinance as per schedule for the rea- son that while the document was in the ands of the judiciary commitiee a clerical rror was discovered. The error was & trivial one, but had it not been discovered when it was there would have been consid- trable delay in the delivery of the bonds. As soon as the mistake was noticed an- other ordinance similar to the first with only one or two corrections was drafted and at yesterday's meeting this ordinance was in- troduced, while the former was laid on the shelf. This error put the ordinance back qne day only, as the council will meet again, tomor- vow and pass it through the second and third reading. The haste in the matter is for the pur- pose of saving the city interest. The out- standing bonds which the new issue 18 to vedeem still draw 6 per cent interest, while the proposed issue draws only 433 per cent, This reduction in interest of 115 per cent will save. the city $760 a year, or $7,300 for the ten years which the bonds will run. 1f the ordinance goes through today, as 18 expected, the histories will be - completed and turned over to G. W. Hoobler, the pur- chaser, on Saturday, The sale wili then be virtually completed, A premium of $313 Las been offered the city for these bonds by Mr. Hoobler and this will pay for the lithographing of the bonds, the preparation of the bistories and all other expenses. The oity. will not be to any expense whatever In taking up the old bonds and issuing new ones on ‘account of the premium When Councilman Johnston first’ sug- zested that this fssue be placed on the mar- ket at 4% per cent other members of the council thought that a sale could not be offected. But it was and consequently Jehnston s jubilant over the fact. In af- fairs of this kind his judgment is consid- ered first class. Now when the next issue of general indebtedness bonds comes along, which is not far distunt, Johnston proposes to put twenty-year 4 per cent bonds on the market. He says that he Is confident that « sale at this figure can be made. If this can be done the saving In interest to the sity will be enormous, as in past years one- third of the entire levy has been used to pay interest ou outstanding obligations. Must Vacate Alley. The Board of Education fs up against an- other hard proposition. This time it is not a question of erecting bulldings, but one of removing bulldings from property to which the district holds no title. When the West Side school building was erocted a number of years ago the board purchased ground fronting on U street ex- tending 150 feet east from the west corner- stone, This property has a depth of 130 feet. AS the ground to the south looked retty good to the Koard the fence surround- ing the school bullding was moved south fif- teen feet 5045 to take in the alley, which 1s supposed to extend from Thirty-first to Lincoln | 1 | | Thirty-second street on the south side of the school grounds. Upon this alley, which belongs to the city, the school board has erected a number of outbuildings. In compliance with a resolution recently passed by the eity council, the city engi- neer in laying out plats must conform ex- actly to the original lines of streets and al- loys, thercfore the Board of Education will be compelled to remove its fence and build- ings from this alley. No one thought of the matter until H, " The Non-Irritating Cathartic Easy to take, easy to operate= Hood’s Pills M. Clristie platted Brew's Hill addition, and then the fact that the school board had ed city property was discovered. As lots have been sold adjoining the school house it will be necessary to have this alley in this block opened About the only thing the board can do | now will be to purchase ground on the east of the school hutlding and remove the out- bulidings to the new location. As there is 1o sewer at this school house it will be im- practicable to move the outbuildings up to the lot line, as this would bring them too near the school rooms. New Christian Chareh. Instead of the regular morning wervice at the Christian .churech on Sunday the congregation will meet for the purpose of considering the advisability of erecting a new church. This matter has been talked over for some time and the women of the church started the movement by ralsing quite & sum as a nestegg. A tund known as the building fund has been created and this will be Increased by subscriptions, etc. The proposition is 1o sell the present church property at Twenty-third and K cots and purchase a new location. An tho estimated cost of the proposed new church. Some of the members of the church are in favor of changing the pres- ent plans o that a brick structure may be constructed. 1f this 1s done it will be necessary to increase the estimated cost. Every member of the congregation is urged to attend the meeting on Sunday moruing. This evening Rev. Waggoner, the mis- sionary, will give an entertainment at the Christian church and devote the entire pro- ceeds to the building fund. MIlk Tests Good. Milk Inspector Frank Jones has fust completed a tour of the dairies supplying milk to residents of South Omaha. He sald last evening that all of the dairles were in good condition and that the milk at this time, when tested, showed above the average. In order to pass inspection milk must average 3 per cent butter fat. Now all milk sold {s above the standard and Mr. Jonés says that milch cows are in first-class condition. Liquor Dealers Slow. Although the city councll has granted liquor licenses to ninety-two saloonkeepers, only eighty-one have pald the fee of $1,000 into the city treasury. This leaves cleven dealers who are now operating without a license. As all of the license money goes into the school district members of the board propose taking hold of the matter at the next meeting and will, it is stated, insist that the liceasn money be paid in or else the non-paying saloons be closed. To be plain, the school hoard needs the money. The mayor and’ council bave the right under the law to prevent the sale of lguors without a Heense and can close saloons whenever there 1s a violation of the Blocum law. Unless the council acts pretty soon it is understood that the Board of Education will fnstruct its atterney to £0 after the delinquents Misstonary Meeting This difternoon at 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Ira Dawson_ will entertaln the women of the misslopary auxillary ‘of the Christian dhurch at her home, 2510 ¥ street.

The union con- sidered it advisable to have the contest at the misslon owing chiefly to the interest of the children in the temperance clubs, but the large attendance of the parents was gratifying.
