| 4 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1902 AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Taxpayers' League Starts Movement for Oharge in Schcol Laws. WANTS BETTER PAY FOR SCHOOL BOARD Recommends Less Namber of Members and Compensation Adequate to the Time the Required for Publie Serviee, At a called meeting of the Taxpayers league held on Thursday evening the ques tion of making some important changes in the school laws applicable to cities of the first and second classes was fully discussed after which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted Whereas, The public school laws of Ne- braska pertaining to metropolitan cities in their present forin and effcct have been a constant source of trouble, dissatisfaction and litigation to superintendents, teachers, employes and taxpayers. And as we firmly belfeve the lawmakers and public at large never intended or expected or even now desire to have any person or number of its citizens In large, populous echool district contribute their valu ratuitous by ser s capacity elving a fair and ust compensation for his services; there- ore, be it, Resolved, as the sentiment of this league That any person elected to perform the duty of a school dircctor in this district should recelve a reakonable and falr com- | pensation for services rendercd each member of the Board of Ed #hould be required to furnish a satls And that bond to the district for the faithful per formance of his duty. Resolved, also. 1hat we favor a reduc- tion of the number of the Board of Educa tion, s we recognize that a smaller body of Sist and competent members will trans- act business more carefully and expedi- tlously than a more cumbersome body and with the knowledge of recelving a salary will glve more_thought and attention and practice more honesty and economy in its management of chool affairs than been displayed by the present and boards of education under the present Achool laws. We also belleve that t enormous overlaps in the school fund tha occur each year in consequence of a wilfull and unlawful misappropriation of the funcs could be averted by a change in the law. Resolved, That a committee of ten citi- zens and faxpayers who have the interest of the public schools at heart be selected to meet with like committees from Omaha and Lincoln for the purpose of formulating a revision of the school laws of the state in conformity with the s expressed {n these resolutions, their recommendatic be presented to the coming sessio legislature with an earnest the school laws governing cit £ the first and second classes be amended”to conform with the suggestions herein indleated The following committes was appointed: David Anderson, E. H. Howland, T. J. O'Nell, Dana Morrill, B Howe, A. L. Berg- quist, A. A. Nixon, Ed Johnson, T. J. Nolan and Richard O'Keeffe. The question of a fire and police commis- slon was discussed at some length, but no action was taken, the matter being referred to the general committee of the league for a report before action is taken. It 1s expected that the members of this league will be well represented when a meeting of the charter revision committee ts called. Maxwell Works M ons. Willlam Maxwell is in jail, being held temporarily on & charge of being drunk. It s asserted by M. W. Greist that Maxwell him the Masonic sign of distress and was given §5. Later on Grelst found that Maxwell was having a good time in an N street saloon and he caused his arrest. The police say that Maxwell has been borrowing money from Masons here, putting up vari- ous storles. He showed recelpts for lodge Aues pald to a lodge at Pikeville, Ky. Theso recelpts are presumed to bo forgeries. Ma: 11 will be brought before Judge King to- day, when he will be given an Bnboflum({ of squaring watters. No Particular Change. The condition of Clyde Lake, who shot himgel? Thursday night in an N street sa- loon, was about the same last night. Slight temhorrages were noted during the day by the ttending physiclans, but it Is hardly thought that he s seriously injured. The young man is still at the home of his mother in the Rowley block, on Twenty- street, and the doctors are giving him attention possible. Looking After Sewers. Mayor Koutsky had a couple of men at work yesterday cleaning catch basins in the Gowntown portion of the city, so that when the rain commenced the sewers were free and the water ran off rapidly. At the pres- ent time the street force is kept down to one or two men, but some work which counts is performed every day was shown. by the opening of the catch basins when needed. Need More F!

T Kate Uart | sabelle D'Armonde ...Grace Cannon It Frank Daniels were welcome f-r no other reason, the fact that he invariably comes with a new song would be enough ‘o guarantce him a joyous greeting from admirers who grow more fond of him with each passing year. And this time he has a whole bouquet of songs that are new and which ought to readily replace some of the favorites that have been doing duty now for—well, no matter how long. He is the eame jolly, clever, funny Danlels we have always known. He likes fun, and is even suspected of enjoying his nightly performances as much as any one in the theater. His meéthods are his own and are really kaledloscopic, in the regard that while they are always Danlels, they are | ngver exactly twice alike, no matter how reminiscent they may seem of things you have seen him in before. ‘Miss Stmplic- ity” has become helress to the accumu- lated fun of a host of funny pleces Mr. Daniels has exploited in years gone by, but all these riches have been so recast and worked over that they seem an entirely new lot. In evidence of which we will bear “Don’t Mind Me" and “Babette" for awhile at least. “Miss Simplicity” is nearer to a comic opera than anything Mr. Daniels has ever had. It doesn't contain any especlally ambitious music, but it has plenty of mel- ody, ® great deal of jingle, several solos and duets and a couple of octets that were called for often by the audience last night. It is particularly strong in cho- ruses, and the choius has been selected with an eye to the stage picture as well as to the volces and the result is pleasing. While the voices blend most harmoniously, the singers themselves, garbed in huecs that alone would seem garish, are grouped on the stage so designedly that the pris- matic result Is one of a rich mingling of tints, producing a splendid series of ple- tures. Mr. Danlels is assisted by singers and comedians who are well qualified to secend his efforts and who contribute much to the general excellence of the perform- ance. Of the staging of the plece it Is enough to say that it 1s up to the Kirk Lashelle standard. Boyd's theater was packed in spite of the depressing weather and the audlence was very generous in its recognition of the many good things served. At the end of the first act Mr. Danlels tried to satisfy the curtain call demand by merely bowing, but finally succumbed and made a speech. His remarks were simply a continuation of what he had been saying in the play and made the hit of the season so far as cur< tain speeches are concerned. “Miss Simplicity” will be repeated at a matinee and evening performance toda Margery Bagges...

Mr, Hochman, of course, will be spoken of as excelling in Chopin or Lisat, or what- ever one's predilections are in connection with such a program. But to the sense of | the critie, who4s not a planist, by actual experience, but is yet a lover of the music {ot the planistic realm of composition, Hochman appeared to be & musician who {15 full of temperament, who has abundant technique, ponderous or buoyant, strong or delicate, as the occasion demands.

LANSING, Mich., Dec. 19.—Governor Bliss will not permit tfie McGovern-Corbett fight which was to have been held in Detrolt next month. . He wrote this afternoon to Sheriff Dick- son of Wayne county, calling his attention to the law on the subject and telling him that he expected him to see that the fight was not held in Detroit. In the letter the governor calls the sherifl’s attentlon to the decisions of the | supreme court against fights in Michigan, and tells him that if he needs assistance to prevent the fight it will be given him. DETROIT, Dec. 19.—Matchmaker Consi- dine of the Metropolitan Athletic club in- sists that the proposed McGovern-Corbett bout is not to be a prize fight, but a spar- ring contest, within the law. He says a bout under similar articles will be given in Light Guard armory next Friday night and that the law will be tested.
