WILL TALK OF TREIR WAGES Btate Tenchers Give Compensation Oenspio- neus Place on Program. OMAHA EDUCATORS WILL PARTICIPATE Question of School District Consoli- dation s Another Important Matter to Come Up for Gen- eral Disensasion. B, J. Bodwell, county superintendent public fnstruction, denies that among the teachers of Nebraska there is any pressed desire to follow the lead of Chi- cage teachers and unite with organized labor, but it s noted that the matter finance and teachers’ salaries has a con- spicuous place on the program of the thirty-seventh annual meeting of the State Teachers association, to be in Lin- coln, December 31 to January 2, inclusiv Chancellor Andrews of the State univer- sity is to have a paper on the question, “How Can We Secure Funds to Increase the Teachers' Salary?" and State Superintend- ent Fowler and Mrs. Emma Riddell of David City are to lead a discussion of the same. Following this on the program for Friday afternoon are papers and discussions as follows: “It We Increase the Salary, Shall ‘We Demand Better Equipped Teachers?’ Jesse Eller, Harvard; discussion, H. A. Ed- wards, Grand Island, and C. F. Beck, Peru; ““Common Sense Economy in School Finances,” V. B. Trimble, Hasting; dlscus- slon, W. A. Garrett, Holdrege, and B. D. Haywood, St. Paul; “The Old School Dis- trict against the Conso)idated or Township District,” 8. W. Christy, Edgar; discussion, G. W. Whitehorn, Bristow; A. M. Berestord, Orleans, and O. A. Bailey, Crab Orchard. Question of Consolidation. The question of school district consolida- tlon comes under this head quite appropri- ately, as it is said that consolidation will mean fewer teachers but higher salaries. Superintendent Bodwell said “Consolidation means that one school house with three or four teachers will suf- fice for an area six or seven miles square, in which there are now several school houses with several teachers. In other words, consolidation will mean a reduction %t one-fourth or one-third In the number of teachers employed in Nebraska. “What net reduction, if any, would be made In the cost to the countles and state I do not know, as under the consolidation plan there would be the new expense of ‘pkoviding conveyances for the children. bullding larger buildings and employing teachers competent to teach in graded uchools.” Quite a number of Omahans are on the program of the state meeting. Wednesday atternoon at University hall Alice Landis of the High school is to answer the ques- tion, “Does the German, as outlined in the High school manual, satisty local demands. and, if not, why not?" ot | ex- | THE he had ever been under sentence before and replied that he had not. The judge subse- quently ordered an investigation of his record and learned that in December, 1899, | he was sentenced to thirty days for petit | larceny and ia April, 1900, daylight breaking and entering. The court is an ardent believer in mem ory culture, and when he was thus shown how fmpaired was Willlam's faculties for | recalling things he was much moved. So much indeed, that he decided glve Willlam the twelve years' course in an institution where he will have nothing to do but remember the regulations and n.n penalty imposed for their violation DAMAGES FROM A BASE BALL Elght Thousand, moved to ays Carl Miller of Won't Fally Answer, Waterloo, On Broadway, Fifth avenue and other | thronged and busy thoroughtares of the | strenuous municipal corporation(of Water- | 100, Neb., they play base ball, and because they play base ball Carl Miller s in the district court with a suit against the me- tropolls for $8,950. The amended petition, filed yesterday morning, recites that on April 18 last Miller was driving over, along and on the thronged and busy thbroughfares afore- said when a three-bagger fromy the | willow of a paTty whose real and family name has never been divulged, hissed madly over the heads of Bucepha- lus and the other noble steed he was driving and caused them to execute a minuet along the next block and then overturn the wagon, and, incidentally, over- turn Miller. When he came to, Miller avers, he dis- covered that the rugged health he had enjoyed previously and the joyous youth- fulness of his sixty-three years had been impaired to the extent of a wrenched hip, sundry and divers bruises and so many | aches and pains that he had to go to bed for eight weeks, which is a very long time in the hurly-burly life of Waterloo. Prior to that time, he avers, he had a regularly earned income of fifty simoleons every thirty diems, but since then he can earn no simoleons at all, and as his ex- pectancy of life is 12 81-100 years he wants $5,800 for his own disablement, $100 for his disabled horse and $50 for his mutilated, desecrated and deteriorated wagon.

The monthly report of the internal reve- nue office here for November shows the total amount of receipts to be $95.004.48. | This showing s only a little more than one-half of what it was for the same veriod & year ago. The reasons for this are the repeal of the war tax and the recelnts from the local distillery being unusually small on account of its running only to a | small capacity while repairs are being | made. The recently imposed tax on renovated butter in this state makes the flzures of the revenue office Interesting as showing the growth of that product. Although the tax required is only a quarter of a cent a pound, the first month of its existence July, brought $1,000 from this source in the state of Nebraska, This amount has steadily grown until the report for Noyem- ber shows that the local office furnished stamps for 450 tons of the product in Nebrasks. The tax amounted to about 92,262, GETS TWELVE-YEAR SENTENCE William Taylor, Convicted of High- way Reol y, Must Pay Very Heavy Penalty, William Taylor's prospects are as dark and gloomy as his complexion—which is about as dark and gloomy as anything this far from the jungles could be.

Hartman, who lives at 1817 Leavenworth District Telegraph company as messenger. The boy had been entrusted with the de- livery of an envelope containing a $10 bill, and while riding at high speed on his wheel he made too sharp a turn at Fourteenth and Farnam streets and fell. The envelope which he was carrying in his hand flut- tered Into the intake of the sewer and be- yond the reach of the boy or any of the passersby who soon gathered in large num- bers to assist him with their moral support For a time there was much ex- citement, as a certain element of the as- iembled crowd inclined to the belief that no envelope had been lost and the boy's story was invented to cover up some ques- tiongble action or excite sympathy. The boy finally telephoned to' the office of the city engineer and Sewer Inspector Hutton went to the scene of trouble, where he set- tled the matter in a most satisfactory way by opening the manhole and sending a man into the catch basin,-where the envelope was found in good condition.

Somebody has just given $1,000 to Immanuel hospital and taken pains. to ob- scure his or her identity. Scarcely a week ago E. S. Fogelstrom, manager of the institution, printed in The ! Bee a card stating that he had urgent need of an elevator in the hospital, but not the ! He asked donations to'the amount of $1,000. Yesterday | morning Mr. Fogelstrom again called at The Bee office with a card of thanks in which was credited, among other donations, $1,000 from a party unknown. Mr. Fogel- strom produced a plain envelope addressed to him and took from its interior depart- ment ten crisp $100 bills and a note. The note merely said: ‘“‘Here's $1,000 for your elevator.” There was no printed name on the paper, none on the envelope and none signed. In fact, there was not a scratch to indicate who the donor was, where he lives, what occupation he has nor where his tather went to church. Just the short, sweet statement, “Here's $1,000 for your elevator.” The money reached Mr. Fogelstrom through the postoffice, by special delivery, Tuesday aft- ernoon. Manager Fogelstrom's Card.
