BOARD OF EDUCATION MAKES THE LEVY Department at the Make a Demand Increase of Wages. ‘While the sesaion of the city councll Mon- day night was brief, two important matters ‘e disposed of without any comment to Speak of. The first was the adopting of & Fesolution regarding the South Omahs In- dependent Telephone company. that the company was working without a franchise and had been setting poles and | permission from | stringing wires without the mayor or council. Further the resolu- tion asserted that the rompany was appar- ently seeking to evade the provisions of the charter requiring an anpuity to be re- served to the city. On account of these beliefs and many ®thers enumerated in the resolution the reet commissioner was directed to at once motify the officers of the company to remove Al its poles and wires from the streets and and to immediately desist tting poles and stringing wires. More than this the city attorney was di- Fected to immediately proceed to enjoln the South Omaha Independent Telephone com- and alleys and wires. Next In importance came the appoint- ment of an assistant city attorney. Under the present charter the city attorney is elected by the people and he has the ap- pointing of the assletant city attorney.

Monday night the Board of BEducation met and after a short conference agreed upon the amount of the levy for the coming school year. In accordance with ti aw the items of expendijure were made out and will be forwa: to the county commis- sloders. The levy this year will be 15 milis, which s lower than it has been in years. In the past the levy has been about 20 mills, ‘which was the limit the law allowed. The estimate made by the committee and Miscellaneous In addition to this the cemmittee recom- mended that the coupty commissioners be requested to make a levy of 15 mills on all taxable property in South Omaba to pro- vide for an additional expense of about $20,000, of which $10,000 goes for new bulld- ings and grounds. - The new board has already drawn war- rants for $18,897. but a large part of this amount was {ndebtedness left over by the old board. BSuperintendent McLean stated that he had $62.06 belonging to the board for use of telephones and rent of books, and ten- dered his check for the amount. Prot. McLean stated that he thought that & revised course of study should de adopted in the ‘schools, and the council author- fzed him to go ahead with his plan. He also stated that the basement in the Albright school was in & poor sanitary con- dition. Treasurer Howe reported that on May 31 of this year he had on hand mone longing to the school district of the sum of $32,619.82.

A motion to rent a room in which to store supplies and to hire a man te guard it brought forth much argument and It was tabled. Beveral bids were opened offering to sell to the district sites for & school between o ‘Wyman streets and Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets. It was finally coun- eluded to et it run over until the board ean examine the sites, which it will do tomorrow afternoon. Propesed Workman Temple.

Several com- plaints, all for & mounts, were made yesterday and the board was kept busy during the bhours of its session. It was reported that the corporations would file complaints today or tomorrow. Mayor Koutsky, In speaking of the matter last night, sald that with the valuations in view he expected to get along with an S-mill levy. This will be a big reduction from previous levies.

Ju cheaper than bo Amusements. The Banda Rossa. As was expected the Banda Rossa played to a greatly increased audience at the Orpheum theater Monday night and though the weather was threatening there were f vacant seats In the house. The word had gone forth that this organization is con- siderably above the ordinary, that it is titled to be classed with the best of cert bands and the Omaba music-lovi public was quick to take the hint. The management expects the crowde to con- tinue increasing in the same ratio to t close of the engagement. The most notable numbers on the pho- gram Monday night were the “Toreador's Bong” from “Carmen,” the “Ride of the Valkyries,” the “Rococo Serenads the “Second Hungarian Rhapsody,” *Ave Marie,” the overture “Mignon” and the “Willow Grove March,” the latter ome of Sorrentino’s compositions. The “Hungarian Rhapsody” seemed to take| especlally well. It has a brisk, rollicking movement, with quick changes of mood, and the applause which greetéd it was so spontaneous as to be almost hysterical; it would burst forth at the most unexpected time a at the close arose to tumultuous encor There were many requests to have it re- peated at tonight's performance and Sor- rentino has honored them. he “‘Carm suite was thrilling.

These Italians appear to find something in this great fantasie which has never Leen found by another band. It ie like an act from an opera, but moro etirring and powerful. The entire resources of the organization were sum- moned. There was the tintinnabulation of the triangle, the liquid, purling cadences of the flute, the crash and boom of the ba the ripple of the oboe, the merry clatter of the castanets, the deep chested bellow of the tuba, the dulcet melody of the harp, the staccato and swift scales of the clarinet and the hair-lifting clang of the cymbals when etruck with the baes drum stick—all blending in an harmonious ‘whole. Tuesday night by request a Wagner pro- sram will be given. It is sald that Italians cannot play Wagner, yet the Banda Rossa has recelved the highest praise for its Wagner productions. Wherever it has played the verdict is the same. No other hln: has ever played a selection from “Par- sifal.” “The Kansas City Spirit,” one of Sorren- tino's marches, has marked individuality. 1t was played Sunday evening and will be repeated this afternoon. Other features of this afternoon's program will be th intermezzo from “Cavalllera Rusticana, by Mascagnl, a fantasie from ‘“‘Spaine, a selection from the opers “Ernani,” by Verdl; “Funlculi Funicull,” by Denza, and the “Second Hungarian Rhepsody.'” In the mountains, & morning outing Is ever so pleasant with Cook's Imperial LOCAL BREVITIES.

RAIN DELAYS WINTER WHEAT HARVEST Spring Wheat s Making Excellent ut Growth in W lowa is Rank, with Tendency to Rust. con- WASHINGTON, June 24.—The weather | bureau’'s weekly summary of crop condi- | tions is as follows The week ending June 23 was abnormally cool in all districts east of the Rocky mountains, except along the south At- lantic and gulf coasts, with more or less damaging frosts in the central and northern sections of the Rocky districts, the Da- kotas, Minnesota and portions of lowa and New York. Local showers have afforded rellef n portions of the central gulf states end over very limited areas in Texas, but |in much the greater part of the state no rain has fallen and high temperatures have prevailed. Portions of the lower Missouri valiey and lower lake region continue to suf fer from excessive rains. The conditions on the Pacific coast were favorable, not- withstanding the prevalence of hot, drylng winds in Washington. The unseasonably low temperatures bave checked the growth of corn over the nort ern portion of the corn belt and eultiv tion has been retarded by rains in portions of the upper Ohlo valley, upper lake re- glon and upper Missourl valley. In the lower Missour! valley, Oklahoma, Ken- tucky, Tennessee and the middle and south- ern Atlantic states the crop has made fa- vorable progress. In the central gulf states early corn has been seriously injured by drouth and in Texas the crop is the poorest for a number of years. Winter wheat harvest has been delayed by rain in the lower Missouri valley, but has progressed favorably in the Ohlo val- ley and middle Atlantic states. The crop has experienced no unfavorable conditions during the week, although the low tem- peratures have checked ripening over the morthern portion of the winter wheat states, where the heads are filling well. In Ore- gon and Washington hot, grying winds have | prevalled, but wheat has escaped injury, and in Calitornia, where shipments have be- gun, harvesting continues under favorabie conditions. BSpring wheat has made excellent prog- ress generally throughout the spring wheat region and s heading In the more north- erly portions. Too rank growth, however, is reported from Wisconsin and lowa, with & tendency to rust im the last named state. The general outlook for oats continu promising in the states of the central val ley and northwest, although rank growth | and lodging are reported from the central Missourl and upper Miselssippl valleys. In Arkansas, Tennessee and western Ken- tucky prospects have been lessened by drouth. Harvesting has begun as far north as southern Kansas and Virginia. As in the previous week,'cotton has ex- perienced favorable conditions over the porthern portion of the central and western districts and generally throughout the east- ern portion of the cotton belt. Lice, how- are more extensively reported and tered showers over the southern portion of the central districts, the growth of cotton has been checked, especlally in Louisiana and Texas, and in the last named state shedding, blooming to tops and unsatisfac- tory fruiting are reported, but lice and boll wevel are disappearing. ALDERMAN CREATES SCENE $2,000 Over His Head and Says It is Portion of Bribe from Gas Compa CLEVELAND, 0. June 24—During a meeting of the city council tonight Council- man Kobhl held up over his head $2,000 in money, at the same time making the state- ment that it w efforts to introduce certaln amendments un- favorable to the applications of the East Ohlo Gas company (natural gas) seeking admission to this city. There was the greatest excitement in the chamber when this statement was heard and Mr. Kohl immediately turned the money over to the council clerk. Mayeor Johnson, who was present, then charged Dr. F. W. Daykin as being the man who was acting as a go-between and who gave Kobl the money.

The twemty-on¢ story structure is crowded. The management of the bullding, ays the Record-Herald, s making plans for the addition of a new story to th tur The work involved n this contempla the raising of the immense dome of the build- ing six feet and the lowering of the theater floor six feet, giving twelve feet more of perpendlcular helght. . Fhe additional room thus secured will be.utilized for.the the- ater, which is to be endarged in every way. It is expected that work will begin early in October of this yeal and it will be car- rled on witbout disturbance to the more than 4,000 occupants of the bullding or the 44,000 people who dally go In and out of the structure. The total amount of irom and steel to be moved in making the alter- ations is 3,000,000 pounds, or about 1,500 tons.

The work will be dome 354 feet In the alr. Beneath the dome of the bullding at the | present time 1s the floor utilized for the | theater. The component parts of the floor and dome are iron, steel, hard wood, ce- | ment, mosaic and brick. When the whole | was put into position it was with a view {to permanency and endurance. The build- | ers of the period—twelve years ago—bad no { dea that any mechanical device could ever | be lnvented which could change the posi- | tion of this roof with safety to the temants | of the bullding or the public in the streete | below. | But twelve years ago is a long time in ithe history of the world these times. |Recently the bullders took out the central base column of the Auditorium Annex, the column which supported 200 tons of weight—removed it eptirely—with- out closing the bullding or causing the slightest Injury to it. Indeed, the bulld- ing was stronger polsed after the work was dome than before. So that now the propo- sition to ralfe the immense roof of the | Masonic temple six feet and lower the floor beneath it six feet, thus enabling the bulld- iDg to acquire a new and additional story must be only a matter of wonder to the outside world, which keeps little apace of what englneers ate dolng. Next October the bullders will come with yards of cable and chains, tackle and jack- screws, and as unconcernedly as though merely moving a frame shanty will boist up the largest dome roof in the west, lower a floor and create the new story desired. The use of compressed air and jacks to change the structural character of blg bulldings is of recent date, but since their application the improvements in the pro- | cesses used have been rapid. Pifty per cent | of the big bulldings of Chicago are on what |is called floating foundations. When their foundations were\placed they went down only fourteen ‘or fifteen feet below the street datum and rested on the blue clay base of the city. Now piling, both steel and wood, s driven ninety feet down and comcrete follows, s in the case of the new Marshall Field bullding, and better foundations are pro- vided. The old bulldings with the floating foundations have settled much and it is here that the compressed air and jacks come as much Into play as they do in holst- ing domes skyward. It Is not necessary, for legitimate financial reasons, to mention titles, but there Is a certain sky scraper in Chicago that settles every spring and every | time that it does the bullders must go in | and jack it up. | As soon as the boiler basement room and { 1sundry begin to 81l with mud and water | | oozing up from the clay beneath the bufld- | ers g0 in and raise the foundation to its | original base, clean out the mues and go | away, mot thinking that anything remark- | able had been dome.
