LOT FOR ENGINE HOUSE SITE fchool Beard Has One It Will Sell Oity on Oredit, ROBERT SMITH PROPOSES TRANSACTION Lot in Jobbing DI Nee et that is Not d for Schaol Parposes May Be Turmed to Some . Use. The Board of Edycation wants to sell the city a lot on which to build an engine house —which throws some light on the fact that Member Robert Smith of the board secured an order of court last week restraining the city from buying another lot in the imme- diate vicinity of the lot which the board has * to sell. At the mdeting of the board Mon- day evening Mr. Smith Introduced & resolu- tion authorizing Secretary Burgess to ton- fer with the city officlals and see it they would not buy the board's lot, which 18 at Ninth and Howard streets. Ten thousand dollars, payable In ten years' time, the note of other evidence of debt to draw 4 per cent interest, are the terrs mentioned in Mr. Smith's resolution, and the city is to have thirty days in which to accept them. “The lot Isn’t earning us any money as it 1s now,” sald Mr. Smith, “and if we can get & negotlable evidence of debt from the eity, drawing Interest and runming for ten years, we can convert it into' money. at once and then use the money in building an sddition to the Monmouth school. Such an Tnatru- ment from the city would be as good as & government bond." The resolution was finally referred to the committes on finance, with instructions to consult with the mayor and members of the elty councll and report at the next meeting. The lot oftéred by the Board of Bducation 18 $5,000 cheaper than the one which the city contemplates buylng. Printing Bids Too High. The committee on supplies reported in favor of rejecting all bids for printing and lithographing for the coming school year and directing the secretary to advertise for bids for this work, the reason being that the bide received were from 20 to 600 per cent higher than for the same classes of work & year ago. It was hinted that there was evidence of the printers having tormed a combiue. Mcmber Emil Cermack, who is a chemtst, reported in favor of baving all school books disintected. Mr. Cermack had been as- . signed to the work of experimenting in the disintecting of books; he disinfected those of one school and reported tnat the result was very satistactory. He sald the books of all the schools could be disinfected for $100. The report was accepted. The following women were placed on the Mot of assigned teachers for the High #chool, to be used when their services may be required: Misses Joanna Mansfield, Theodora Borglum, Eugenia Mackin, Mar- garet Scott, Mary Alter and Martha Cooke. Lieutenant Jesse Tompsett was elected as commandant of the High school cadets for one year at a salary of $50 & month, The resignation of Miss Emma L. Harrls & teacher at the Long school, was accepted. The committee on boundaries reported the result of the enumeration of the chil- dren of school age in the district of Omaha for 1902, The report shows that 30,669 chil- dren of school age were found In the city and that the enumerators are to be pald 918.27 for the work, belug at the rate of 2 cents per name. e Keep your system In pertect order and you wil! have heaith, even in the most sickly wedeons” | ‘The 'otcasional use of Prickly Ash Bitters will insure vigor and regularity In all the vital organi COUNTY DEMOEBACY PICNIC Wil Be Held at The Douglas county democracy will Told its fifth annual pienfe August 24 at Missouri Valley, Ia., and the democrats of Councll Bluffs and South Omaha will be invited to attend, The date and place was declded upon last night at a meeting of the club, Missour!

IN MUDDLE NOW De- The finance committee of the Board of County Commissioners s confronted by an attorney for the Farson-Leach Bond company of Chieago, who promises to make trouble if he can. He arrived yes- terday morning to have a conference with Commissioners Harte, Ostrom and Con- nolly, who constitute the committee. His announced purpose ls “‘to prevent the county from repudiating its interest obligations™ on the 3$268,000 bonds lssued In 1887, to run twenty years at § per cent, and the statements he makes are in direct contradiction of those made by a member of the brokerage firm of Kelly & Kelly of Topeka and New York, which firm brought about the recent refunding. The Kelly representative came before the board in April and proposed that it “issue bonds for the $268,000 to run twenty yenrs at 3% per cent and to be exchanged for the present $268,000 worth of 6 per cents that expire in 1007 The board thought the proposition a good one to mc- cept, reasoning that it fe improbable that & better rate than 3% could be secured five years hence, when the mnew issue would have to be made, and that by ac- cepting this offer it could save 1% per cent for each of the next five years. The matter was advertised thirty days and as neither any objection nor any bid other than Kelly & Kelly's was recelved, the board approved the sale to that firm. The new bonds were signed by the county clerk and Chairman Hoteldt,of. the county board and were sent to the state treasurer at Lincoln. What happened after that is a mystery to thy board. Chalrman Hofeldt said yesterday morning “Our understanding is that before the new bonds could be taken from the state treasurer ell the old ones would have to be presented to him, &8 It was to be an ex- change. But two weeks ago a telegram trom the Lincoln correspondent of The Bee announced that ‘the State Board of Educa- tional Lands and Funds bas closed the transactions for the purchase. of $268,000 of Douglas county refunding bonds;’ that ‘they are taken as an Investment of thé perm nent school money,’ and that ‘the transa tion is made on a basis of I per cent. Kelly & Kelly had told us that they held about $200,000 of the bonds and belleved they could get tNe rest. When this news came from Lincoln it seemed to be assur- ance that the bonds were all in, but this Farson-Leach man says that, his company holds $100,000 of them, which he doesn’t propose to give up and on which he insists on getting the 5 per cent. As the total was only $268,000 and as there are known to have been scattered holdings, it is quite impossible that Kelly & Kelly should bave had $200,000 and the Chitago brokers $100,000. It s, it we are correctly informed, still more impossible that the state should have secured our mew bonds it the Chicagoans beld $100,000 of the ol ones. We are quite at sea and will be until we have Investigated fully.” The afternoon conference did not ma- terlalize, as Chairman Harte was the only member of the committee present. He told the representative of the Farson-Leach company that the board considered itself out of the matter and that the negotl tions must be between the Chicage com- pany and Kelly & Kelly. The attorney left, with & request that other members of the board and the county attormey be present this afternoon at 4 o'clock to hear what he has to say. He told a Bee re- porter that his company owns none of the bonds now, having sold the $100,000 it did own, but that he represents holders of about $80,000, and 1f the board declines to come his way will sue in the United States court for 2% per cent' (ome-half year's interest) on $80,000, or $3,000, DEATH RECORD.

NEW VIADUCT AGAIN UNDER DEBATE Con nd Live Stock Exeh Confer as to What Action is Nee- essary to Be Taken to Se cure the Bridge. While the session of the council last night only lasted for half an hour, quite an amount of business was transacted After the usual routine of roll call and the reading of the minutes, a petition wi presented, signed by quite a number of residents, calling attention to the dan- erous condition of L street from Thirty- aixth street to Fortleth street. The re- quest was made that this portion of the street be mended at once. The' petition was referred to the committee on streets and alleys and the city engineer. Queenan introduced an ordinance regu- Iating the speed of engines and trains within the city limits. This ordinance, it passed, repels all former ordinances or parts of ordinances and a new schedule will be gstablished. A blanket bond for all firemen and po- licemen was tendered by an eastern surety company and was referred to the licenss committee for consideration. Willlam Hester served notice on the council that it any attempt was made to drain the water from L etreet at the in- tersection of Twenty-second street onto his property he would commence suit for damages. City Engineer Beal will be alled upon to find a way for filling the street at this point and at the same time dispose of surface water. A request for an extension of water maine was made by residents in the south. western part of the city. The petition presented asks that the water company lay mains from Thirty-second and 8 streets to T atreet, thence west to Thirty-fourth street, south to W street and west to Thirty-ffth street. The fire and water committes will consider the petition. City Attorney Murdock and City En- gineer Beal reported favorably upon the petition to grade the alley from Twenty- first and Twenty-second streets between K and L streets. The street and alley committee will now take fhe matter up and see that the proper ordinances are drafted. The council decided to purchase dirt from the Ancient Order of United Work- ment temple building committee to use in filling in some of the Wig washouts in the city. For this dirt the city agrees to pay 8 cents per cublc yard. City Attorney Murdock was instructed to draft an ordinance for the laying of a sewer In the alley from Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets between F and G streets. Street Foreman August Miller protestad agalnst the cut In his ealary and his re- monstrance was sent to the finance com- mittee and the city attorney for considera- tion, The sum of $100 was transferred from the bullding fund to the library fund. Another meeting of the council will be held on Wednesday night, when some claims will be allowed. Conference Over Viaduct. Yesterday afternoon there was a confer- ence between the members of the city council and President Parkhurst and sev- eral members of the Live Stock exchange in relation to the construction of a viaduet across the railroad tracks at either N or O streets. ‘The object of the members of the ex- change was to ertain just where the councll stood, and as all members were present each bad an opportunity of stating Just how he felt about the matter. It has been rumored that the Union Pacific had some sort of a proposition be- fore the eouncll which must be granted before the question of a viaduct would se- riously be considered by the raflroad com- pany. The members of the councll as- sured Captain Parkhurst and the other members of the exchange that at the pres- ent time there is nothing of the sort be- fore the councll. Further, the members of the council declared themselves in fa- vor of a viaduct under certain conditions In speaking of the meeting a counciiman said: ‘“We are willing to help the viaduct project along all we can and are prefectly willing to make any reasonable conces. slons, providing we have assurance that the granting of such concessions will bring about the much-desired bridge across the tracks." At the close of the meeting it was agreed that the Live Stock exchange pro- ceed to procure from the Union e and the Union Stock Yards company eome sort of a proposition to be submitted to the council. When this is done some ac- tion will be taken. Board of Education. Fourteen teachers to be placed on the unassigned list were elected by the Board of Education at a meetfng held last night. The list follows: Mary Rawley, Stella Toft, Maud McDowell, Julla Willard, Ethel Yost, Carrie Roys, Lillian Ruders- dorf, Besste Abrams, Maggle Coffee, Ber- tha Clark, Vera Borden, Maud O'Neil, Leons Eller, Clara Tombrink. Mise Anna Taylor was given & year's vacation. Bids for the comstruction of a two-room brick addition to the Albright school were opened. T. C. MecDonald bid $3,143 and Frank J. Kavan bid $2,949. Kavan was awarded the contract. No contract was let for the comstruc- tion of the thre om frame addition to the high school snnex. T. C. McDomald was the low bidder, he offering to do the work for $7,26, but when It came to a vote the board was a tie, Schroeder being absent, and both the McDonald and Win- ters bids were rejected. Bids for advertising were received from three local papers. The Times and Dem- ocrat bid 50 cents a square inch and the Weekly Independent 25 e per square. All three bids were rejected. A plece of ground 50x150 feet adjoining the Albright school on the east was pur- chased for $350. The root of the Jungman school was reported leaking and the proper committee . will see to the re- pairs. Circulating Petittons, Twenty-five petitions are being circulated among the people of South Omaha reques ing mayor to abandon his idea of keep- ing the saloons closed on Sunday. The movement was started late yesterday after- noon in the business portion of the city and last night the petitions had quite a number of signatures. Those circulating the petitions made the ssertion that Mayor Koutsky had agreed that if & petition bearing 6,000 names was sented to him asking him to relax some of his Sunday closing rules he would be inclined to do se. Those finterested in the repeal of the mayor's recent order are confident that the requisite number of signatures will be ob- tained before next Bunday. Lia Dealers’ Cases Postponed. The five saloon keepers, Grant Kellogg, Herman Anger, Patrick Feanell, Humple and Lawrence O'Comnor, who arrested for selling liquor on Sunday, ap- peared before Police Judge King yesterday aad each gave bonds is the sum of §100 tor his appearance in police court on Wed- nesday, July 30. Assistant City Attorney Cohn stated yes- terday afternoon that the liquor dealers would be prosecuted under the city ordi- nance governing the sale of liquors in- stead of under the statutes. He says that this will be dome for the reason that the ordinance is much broader. Under the statutes 1t must be proven that liquor was actually sold, while under the ordinance all that is necessary is to prove that a saloon was open. Another reason is that any fine that the police judge may impose will go Into the city treasury it eonvie- tions follow the hearing, while if tried un- der the statutes all the police court could do in case of conviction would be to bind the violators of the law over to the dis- trict court. No More Smallpox. City Physician Sapp stated yesterday aft- ernoon that at the present time ot a sin- gle cse of smallpox existed In the city, the last case baving been discharged trom the emergency hospital at moon. Since about October 1 of 1901 the Board of Health of South Omaha has attended to about 850 cases of smallpox. Only two deaths oc- curred out of all of these cases, one an adult and the other an infant. While the expense has been heavy on account of hav- ing to quarantine and guard and fumigate 80 many residences, it will not be 8o heavy another year on account of the city now belng In possession of a first-class emer- gency hospital. Should the disease break out again, pa- tlents who do not desire to be sent to the emergency hospital will not be supplied with food and fuel as was done all through the winter. They will be compelied to sub- mit to strict quarantine rules and the health department will furnish medical treatment and fumigate the premises when needed. Magle City Gossip.

Choosing strychnine, A, L. Blage brought to an end his lonely and melan- choly existence in Hanscom park yester- day afternoon. J. E. Pennycook, manager of the park pavilion, was passing ,along the walk through the shrubbery on the western side of the upper park lake at about 6 o'clock, when his attention was attracted by a sound of groanifig and a thrashing of the undergrowth, Jitaping through the bushes he found a man writhing on the ground. Pennycook hurriedly summoned the park policeman, William Halterman, and the two did what little they could for the sufferer pending the arrival of the police surgeons. Before losing conmscious- ness the man sald that he had taken strychnine and hoped he would die befor a doctor arrived. “It's a hard way to go, but I want to dle,” he sald. The man w dead before Drs. Hahn and Mick cou teach the park. He was taken to the morgue and Coroner Bralley will hold the inquest this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The name A. L. Blagg was tattooed on the innner side of the sulcide’s left upper arm and in & pocket of his coat was found a card from Seymour camp, Woodmen .of the World, bearing the same name and be- ing a receipt for lodge dues just paid. In- quiry developed the fact that deceased had lived for several years in a little houso at 1253 South Fourteenth street. Nelgh- bors sald that Blagg had always lived alone and was of a melancholy disposi- tion. He was about 35 years of age and a painter and glazler by trade. Several per- sons claim to have noticed him hanging about the park most of the time since Sat- urday.

Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the treasury, in reference to the time work is to begin on the contem- plated public bullding at Norfolk, for which the lete sion of congress appropriated $100,600, largely through the efforts of Sen- ator Millard. The architect advised tle senator that his office would at once make sketch plans for the approval of the cabinet toard, and it is thought that the work can be placed on the market at such a time as will insure making of contract to begin op- erations as soon as the weather will permit In the spring of 1903. Senator Millard was also advised that hin request for a change of schedule for carry- ing the malls from Creighton to Center, Neb., had been granted. The object of the change was to obviate delay caused by tho carrier failing to wait for through trains. ‘Will De All This for You.

DEADWOOD EXCURSION PLANS ADOPTED Special Train Will Oarry the Visitors from Quivera to the Bustl Me- tropolis of the Black Hills Country. The crowd at the den of Ak-Sar-Ben last night was one of the largest ever assembled at the den and the members of the base ball clubs of Omaha and Kansas City, who were especlal guests, were received with an ovation which was given as a mark of the pleasure of the members of the orddr over the game of ball played in the after- noon, by which the record for long and close games in the Western league was broken. The principal business of the meeting after the reception of candidates was the matter of the proposed excursion to Dead- wood next week. W. R. Bennett brought the matter up, giving an outline of the pro- posed trip as published. Short talks were made by several members of the sceleiy and John E. Utt, secretary of the Com- mercial club, then proposed for the consid- eration of the meeting a proposition which contemplates a special train for the occa- sion, leaving the city at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening instead of 3 o'clock, as planned by the board of governors and combining & trade excursfon with the pleasure trip to the Deadwood carnival. By running a spectal train better time can be made, and the visit to Deadwood will not be materially shortened, while many other places can be visited. Upon a vote by the members pres- ent the Commercial club plan was endorsed and a large number signified their intention of joining the train in addition to tho boad of governors of the soclety, who have already accepted the invitation of the car- nival management. The principal speaker of the evening aside from the “excursion question was Henry Hardy. In the games which followed the enrollment the score of Otto Busch of St. Louls was perfect. Although the fleld combined agalnst him at hearts he escaped without a red card In his tricks. Special Excursion Dates. At the meeting of the board of governors previous to the work at the dem the matter of the invitation was discussed as was also the form of the souvenir for this season. Treasurer Penfold announced that there had been sent to the general passenger agents of the roads centering In Omaha a request to forward to the secretary the names of all station agents withid a radius of seventy-five miles of Omaha, so that there could be sent to them matter adver- tising the excursion rates which have been offered by the several roads. According to the present plan the roads will give a rate of one fare for the round trip to Omaha and return from all stations within the distance mentioned, as follows: On the lines of tho Burlington and the Rock Island, Monday, August 4; on the Elkhorn the Northwestern and the Omaha roads, Monday, August 11; on tho Union Pacific and the Missourl Pa- cific, Monday, August 18, and on the Ml waukee, the Wabash and the Illinois Cen- tral, Monday, August 25. As soon as the replies of the general passenger agents have been recelved the business men of Omaha will be notified as to the final arrangements, 80 that they may: send to their friends and customers in each city a speoial in- vitation to be the guests of the soclety on the day that the special rates will be made from their homes. It is éxpected that with- in the next week more than 5,000 invitations to persons residing in the Omaha territory will be sent out and the low rate, it {s hoped, will bring & large proportion of the invited guests to the city. Hustling Committee Meetin It was announced that the hustling com- mittee will meet at Balduft's at noon today for the purpose of arranging to solicit passengers for the speclal train to Dead- wood. Among those from Nebraska who passed through the vells at the den last night and became enlightened were: E. A. Wright ot Wolbach, A. L. Williams of Portage, Dr. C. E. Furay of Chadron, Judge W. H. Westover of Rushyllle, R. McBride of Kear- ney, C. D. Ruther of Stanton, Max Asmus of Norfolk, C. W. Dixon and M. G. Colpetzer of Grand Island and W. J.

Shaffer of Sheldon, Ia., C. F. Boylan of Armour, 8. D., F. A. Woods of Marshall- town, Saumel Baer of Billings, Mont., and Arthur McMahon of Kansas Oity.
