10 WOMAN'S CLUB ON SCHOOLS|* PR | Deprocates Use of Baloon License Money for Edunoational Purposes, WGGESTS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT | Recommends that All Money Needed for the Support of Public Sehools Be Rafsed by Direct Taxatl At the mesting of the Woman's club Mon- @ay the committee on education, which bas been inveéstigating the condition of the public schools, submitted its report. The conclusion and recommendations con- fained in tbe report are as follow: Fy Of out elght weeks' per- plstent inve tion, we find: First—That the efficlency of our public is the highest concern of every eitizen. Second—That the publie schools of Omaha take high rank among the schools of this eountr,; Third—That the cost of education per ehild in Omaha is only a fair average. Fourth—That there is 1o _special demand for rellef from taxation for school pur- poses. Fifth—That taxes for school purposes are not high, Bixth—Trat taxes upon real estate are iigh because it practically bears it all, per. sonal taxes being largely unassessed, and all taxes being poorly paid. Beventh—That salarles pald how are but an average. Eighth—That while the present school rd have cut the teachers’ salaries §24,130, they ask for $1,250 more for thirty-efght weeks of gehool than was used for the same Jensth of time in 1971, und exclusive of the eachers’ salaries and the increased amount in the sinking fund they ask for $5,62 more for other purposes than was spent for those purposes in 191 qulour commitiee therefore would recom- in Omaha o itat—That Omaha maintain public schoo) salaries equal to those of other cities of the same rank. Becond—That our schools be raised above political and personal preferen That no teacher be retained who does mll mani- fest by her qualifications and adaptability abundant professional fitneas for her work. Third—That the clyil servi rules be ap- lied to both teachers and janitors. That heir promotion depend upon their efficlency and faithfuiness. Your committee 18 of the opinion that all oney required for school purposes should ra! by direct taxation. The prnem method {s (o estimate at the beginnin e yoar e propebls Tescurces Hom. Anes and licenpes and then cause a tax to bl' levied to_ralse the additional funds re- quired. The amount received from fines and licenses varies so much from year to year that there is always uncertainty as to what_the income from these sources will be. This, however, is only one of the minor reasons, Money pived from fines im- sed for the purpose of regulating the lquor trafic can be most appropriately used for the support of prisons, jails, re- formatories, insane asylums and for the salaries of police and other officers em- ployed to enforce the law It is not, in our opinion, appropriate that such funds should be used to educate children, and we belfeve that the fact that such funds are now so used leads the public to look with more tolerance on a traffic that they know the souls and bodles of their 5 We, therefore, recommend that this club use its best endeavors to secure an amend- gment to the constitution of the state and the enactment of such laws as may be necessary to bring about this change. The election of chairmen of committees resulted; Auditing, Mrs. H. J. Penfol constitution, Mrs. Mary G. Andrew courtesies, Mrs. H. 8. Jaynes; house and home committes, Mrs. H. H.

STOCK SOLD, JOHN ANNI L. Brandeis & Sons Buy a Well Known State St., Chicago, Store. Owing to;the expiration of their lease, John Annisfleld & Co., 174-176 State street, Chicago, were forced to vacate their store at once. It was the most popular and best known ladle.’ State street furnishing goods house, being located directly opposite the Palmer house, Being unable to secure an- other loeation, they decided to sell out. The stock consists of the newest fashions In ilk-lined suits and skirts, silk, cloth and cravenette raglans, silk and Molre Eton jackets, Gibson and blouse jackets, allk and cloth box coats, walking skirts, silk and cloth dress skirts and petticoats, and in fact a complete ladles' furnishing goods store. John Annisfleld & Co. catered only to the best State etreet trade and carried the most up-to-date stock of ladles’ wearing apparel in Chicago. We bought everything they had at about 30 cents on the dollar. Owing to the fact that they did a very large wholesale business, many of the best known State street department stores being thelr customers, they had to sell the stock out of Chicago. This will be a great opportunity for ladies in Omaha and vicinity to buy new, stylish, up-to-date garments of all descrip- tions at less than half of what they are really worth. Full particulars of this sale will be announced later. The goods are now in transit and will shortly arrive. Watch the papers for the date of the sale. J. L. BRANDEIS & SONS, Boston Store, Omaha. SENATOR KEARNS IN OMAHA On His Way Home to Make Prepara- tions for an Europesa Tour. Senator Thomas Kearns arrived in Omaha yesterday enroute to his home In Utah, where he goes to shape up his private af- fairs preparatory to a trip abroad to meet his family. The senator sald: “I am very glad to be in Nebraska even for a day. The state has many tender recollections for me; then it is good to be able to get home again after an exceedingly busy eession. It looks as it we would have an irrigation law and the evidence on all sides points to a general disposition on the part of the government to take hold of this important question. “This reminds me that President Roose- velt s surely winning his way into the hearts of the people. He {s the most dem- ocratic president we have had since Jeffer- son and his thorough Americanism and honesty of purpose cannot be questioned, The politiclans seem to be falling in line for Rooscvelt for 1904 and I belleve he is the logical candidate of the republican party “Yes, 1 have been somewhat successtul in helping Utah and hope to do a great deal more later. The state has been shamefully neglected In the past and it is about time it was recelving recognition. ELECTION CONTEST DRAGS ON Mr, Unitt Attacks Valldity of AM- davits Made by Unregl tered Voters. Judge Baxter has reduced the Unitt-Mil- ler contest for county clorkship to a war on the validity of afdavits provided by un- registered voters, and City Clerk Elbourn, before whom such affidavits had to be made, In almost constant demand in the court room as a witness. The judge ruled that there must be the strictest obedlence of the letter of that law, which requires that the twe resident freeholders who swear to a voter's eligibility must be residents not of the ward simply, but of the precinet in which the voter lived and voted. It s sald that there are many more than 100 of Omaha aMdavits that do not tulfill this re- quirement, but Unitt's attorney states that as the two parties should share pro rata in ‘the losses entailed by the throwing out of ballots he attacks only those In precincts where Miller was in the majorit; Attorney Abbott, for Miller, For plles, skin diseases, cuts, bruises, burns and other wounds mothing equals DeWitt's Witch Hagzel Salve.

OMAHA DAILY BEE~ KNOCKS COLORADO TRAFFIC |¢ Pacific Coast and Eastern Lines Bid Low for Bummer Tourists, MANY CONVENTIONS IN EXTREME WEST Ea Ronds dented Low Rates to Resorts { ™ m Annonnce Unprece- Own Territory to Hold Business. Though discreet silence has been main- tained on the subject heretofore, recent ac- tions of the two eastern passenger asso- clations and of the Transcontinental Pas- senger association have caused a marked uneasiness among Chicago-Colorado rail- roads regarding the Colorado travel for this symmer. While brave predictions of an- other overwhelming season of outing trafic have been prominently orojected by the passenger officials it was learned at Unlon Pacific headquarters vesterday that no such confidence is really felt. As a matter of fact, while it has been prophesied tha the Colorado travel would exceed and prob- ably double that of last year it is not really expected to equal the great record of 1801, which was 50,000 visitors. The hidden atti- tude in this matter has been existent for some time, but not till yesterday was the change of front externally visible. An offl- clal describes the situation th “The Colorado roads are assalied from both the far west and the east this year, and the double flanking cannot but have great effect in making inroads on our Colo- rado travel. From the east comes the worst blow. Railroads of the Central Pas- senger association and especially of the Trunk Line Passenger association have for the first time in their history been com- pelled to take notice of the western lines and their summer resorts, and the result has been a combined movement against us. These proud eastern roads, wealthy and powerful, that have regarded us with scorn for decades, have put in rates to their own eastern mountain and coast resorts this summer that will be a blow in the face to Colorado travel. Easterners Are Jealous. “Always conservative, the eastern lines have never in years past given any lower rate for summer outings than 80 per cent of the double local fare. That was not much of a reduction, but they retained the busine: just the same till last year. Then the wes* cut into them hard and they winced. They tried not to notice it, but thelr travel fell off so greatly that it became a matter of business protectiom, so they now announce rates of one fare and a third to eastern resorts for the whole summer season. This rate is a record breaker for those lines and there is mo use deny!ng that we will feel it, for many of the easterners who came to Colorado last year on those low rates we put in will go to thelr old haunts this year at a fare of one and a third. “From the west comes amother slap. The widespread prevalence of cheap rates clear to the coast throughout the whole season will hurt the Colorado travel, for the people will go on clear west. It just happens that a whole string of these big conventions come along in such sequence as to cover the entire summer with thelr rates. Heretofore there have been cheap rates to the coast, true, and there were last year, but they were of seldom occur- rence and dates of sale were brief. This year the whole west coast 18 blanketed with a poverty rate for the whole season long. Pacific Coast Conventions. “First came the convention of the Fed. eration of Woman's clubs, for which tickets have just gone off sale, glving a $45 rate from the Missour! river and $50 from Chi- cago. That for May. Then comes June, with the Shriners’' convention at San Fran- cisco, glving similar rates. In June also is the Travelers' Protective association con- vention at Portland, with the same rates, and later the same month the Anclent Or- der of United Workmen Supreme lodge at Portland at the same fares. “8o0 June is swamped with rates and in July comes the Young People’'s Christian Unlon soclety of the United Presbyterian church at Tacoma, and In August {s the Knights of Pythias meeting at San Frdn- clsco, both having the same rates as all the others. Capitalists on a Tour. Monday the Union Pacific railway car- rled three carloads of St. Paul men west- ward to Reno, Nev. These men are all wealthy, all men of extensive business in- terests. They are the stockholders in the great Plumes Copper Mining and Smelt- ing company at Reno, dnd will first visit and inspect thelr own property. After that the trip is to develop into one of invest, tion, as the gentiemen are looking for fur- ther chances for investment. They will scour the whole far west mining sectlon bofore returning, spending days and weeks at a time in different places. Financial worries seemed to be far from the minds of the members of the party when they passed through Omaha on their journey. Practical perplexities were evi- dently banished till the scene of labors should be reached. Traveling Passenger Agent J. O. Geodsell of the Unfon Pacific rallway marshaled the party at St. Paul and brought it to Omaha. Then Rate Clerk J. H. R. Parsons assumed the reins and conducted the financiers on west. Mr. Goodsell says that although the as- semblage represented millions of dolla cash and credit and immense total of bus ness and soclal prestige the fact was not made offensively apparent by the bearing of the northerners. Though every ome of them was seriously affilcted with the disease called money they were all never- theless jolly and mischievous fellows.

ANOTHER GLOVE PROPOSITION Topp & Visbarg Inquire ns to In- ducements to Locate Omaha, At the meeting of the Commercial club yesterday a letter was received from Topp & Vosburg of Johnstown, N. Y., who seem to have taken up the western idea of the late Willlam Topp. This firm is engaged in the same line of work and says that it desires to move west, specifying St. Joseph and Omaha as desirable points, and asks what tnducements Omaha will offer for the loca- tion of the house. The writer says that it the firm comes to Omaha a firm of coat makers of Boston, Mass., will also locate in this city. In order to save future explana- tions the secretary was empowered to in- vestigate the financial standing of the firm and to ascertain more details before an an- swer {s made to the letter. The delegates from the Tri-City Press club reported that the Natiomal Editorial assoclation had decided to meet In Omaha and was thanked for its effort in that behalf. A telegram was read from George H. Maxwell saying that the prospect for the passage of the irrigation bill in its present form is bright, and a member of the club stated that he had received a letter from Congressman Mercer in which the rep- resentative took an equivocal position on the fssue. The letter of the congressman was sent to Mr. Maxwell. The secretary reported that on and after May 4 the Burlington road will operate a traln between Hastings and Crete, which will make it poseible for merchants along the line to visit Omaha and return home the same day. The train will be made per- manent if it is made to pay by the patrons of the Ime. Nathan Merriam and John H. Mowman were elected to membership In the club. RELATES THE TALE OF A COW Maraverk Wants Someone Ar- rested for Clipping Bovine's Fly Disturber. Mrs. Tillle Maraverk had the tale of a cow to relate to City Prosecutor Thomas yesterday and a portlon of the tail to prove that it had been cut from the end of her cow. Her grievance was that one of her nelghbors bad gone to the lot on South Thirteenth street upon which she was wont to allow the cow to graze since the advent of the springtime and the green grass, and through jealousy and spite had cut from its tall two inches of the bushy end. Mrs. Maraverk expressed indignation and sorrow as she carefully unfolded from a delfcate handkerchief a chapter of the tall and offered it as evidence. “The cow was staked out on my own propert; ald Mrs. Maraverk, “and some of my nelghbors who were jealous because I owned such a good animal deliberately slipped over to where she was and cut this off. It isn't a very long plece, but it ruins her looks and unfits her for fighting files, and I want the gullty party arrested.” To prove that the cow was on her own property Mrs. Maraverk took with her to the station an abstract of title to the land, dating back so far that the clty prosecutor accepted her word without an investigation. Mrs. Maraverk sald she found the end of the appendage of the bovine near where the animal was tied, and che knew by the un- even ends of the hairs that it had been cut with a knife, and that she had a good idea who wielded the knife. The city prosecutor Wwas not up on the subject, and as the com- plainant could not speak English under- standingly she was advised to call again when an interpreter is present and to hold on to her evidence.

THIRTEEN A LUCKY NUMBER Thirteen meeumnnl Agmmhnrhu Absorb | Bulk of Appropriation for Fair, DRAW PAY FOR ATTENDING MEETINGS Only Small Portion of Tota priated Publie Goes for Payment of Appro. from Fands Premiums, The officers and promoters of the Douglas County Agricultural soclety will hold the regular monthly meeting next Saturday but as yet have not, they say, to outline a course to pursue this year in the matter of a falr or exhibit. Some are for glving It up, others have proposed that they “lie low awhile and then spring it suddenly and strong,” and one prominent citizen whose wisdom and strategy were appealed to advised that a “committee be appolnted to visit the editor of The Bee and see it he can't be brought into sub- jection.” It seems a prevailing opinion tkat The Bee is all that stands between the | soclety and the county treasury. This opinion, however, is refuted by the attitude of at least thres of the county com- missioners. All five members of the county board voted against the solicited appropria- tion a month ago, but Cornolly and Harte have suffered a change of heart, or at least of inclination, and are said to be willing to appropriate $2,600. Connolly makes the pro- viso that the soclety tle up with the Ak-Sar-Ben for the fall restivities, but Harte is willing to give the money for a falr just any old place. Chalrman Hofeldt says he won't vote a dollar for the soclety under any circumstances. Ostrom says he #ees no reason to change his negative vote of a month ago and O'Keeffe says he thinks the society has already bad more than it | should have had. What Warrant Book Shows. This unfavorable opinion has been largely induced by an examination some of commissioners recently made of a bunch of 330 of the soclety’s warrants, filed with the board as required. These warrants, drawn at varlous times from October 1, 1900, to November 21, 1901, are for a total of § 15, of which those for $977.69, or a trifle more than 25 per cent, were made out as salary warrants to thir- teen men who appear to have been principal promoters as well as beneficiaries. They are: D, H. Christle, J. H. Taylor, J. R. Watts, R. W. Douglas, E. H. Walker, H. J. Roessig, Fred Schroeder, G. M. Drexel, Charles Witte, P. Mergen, A. Kiewit, E. C. Brfling and Chris Steiger. By placing the warrants in three general classifications it s discovered that they represent $1,404.25 pald as wages and sal- arles against only $733.67 pald in premlums and $1,638.23 for all other needs, including decorations, supplies and the two warrants for a total of $1,124 to the Ak-Sar-Ben board. For premfum winners warrants, making the premiums average 84 Of these 161 warrants fifty-five, in- cluding most of the larger ones, were shown to be for only 45 per cent of the total premium won. Incidentally the largest premium payment was $35 made to one of the lucky thirteen who shared liberally in the salary dispensation; and incidentally, too, it was not revealed that the salary warrants represented any discounted pay- ments. there were 161 “Wages and Salarie, The wage and salary total is represented by 101 warrants and of these only forty- threc went to employes other than the thirteen above mentioned. These forty- three represented $426.56, or an average of $2.92. The remalnder of the total, or $0 being divided among the thirteen, gave them an average of $75.20 for salary alone, and exclusive of such amount as each may have won in premiums. They did not share equally, but were rewarded ac- cording to the several dutles they per- formed. For instance, one received a war- rant for $8 for recelving exhibits one day, $15 for soliciting exhibits five days, $33 for eleven days' attendance at the fair and $15.40 for attending four meetings of the board. The same man won $3.15 in pre- miums, making his total $69.55. Another of the thirteen was given warrants for $48.65 for “services as general superin- tendent for sixteen days prior to the open- ing of the fair,” $30 for ten days' attend- ance at the falr and $14.20 for attending four meetings of the board. These war- rants were all drawn after September 7. Pald for a Lobby. ‘Warrants for sums varying from $10 to $20 for “‘attendance at board meetings" are much in evidence and four at $25 each for services on “legislative committee, be- sides one or two emaller ones for “ex- penses” of that committee. One of the commissioners, when he saw these laughed & very dry laugh and sald: “That ‘legisla tive committee’ used this money we had appropriated for a fair to lobby at Lin- coln against the bill intended to do away with that law which made it mandatory for the county board to appropriate to the soclety on a basis of about 15 cents for each vote cast in the preceding congres- slonal election.” Shampuoing and hairdressing, 25c, at the Bathery, 216-220, Bee Bullding.
