With the genersl agifatiom for the futro- {duection of manugl training,! domestic sclence, the simpler constructive work and other mew or extra subjects into the school curriculum, the question of the: average child's capacity has come up for some dis- cussion, together . with, the number of hours that he is sble to devoto each day It develops that there is & very wide and very interestivg difference of opinion among the local teachers regarding the plan of keeping or aliowing & child to remain after the close. of the school ses- sions to study or make up any deficiency in his day's work. Though the afternoon scssion closes at 3:30 o'clock in many of the schiools, the puplly are detaived until 4 ry ing. Many of the teach- ers regard this extra half hour as & real privilege to the children and devote it to special help on poipts or subjects. upon [t K, F ek i ;Eéx ol Thig s | f N AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Railroads and Express Gompanies Object to Payment of Personal Tazas TREASURER TO ISSUE DISTRESS WARRANTS Man Who Has Deen I wing Upom Mavons Gets Thisty Dayw and Will Have Pleture There promises to be a lively time about the collection of personal taxes from the raliroads and the express companies. It was repor‘ed on the streets yesterday that the railroads would not pay any personal taxes and the expreas companies are also indifferent.. The contention is made that the city has no right to levy personal taxes on railroads or express companies. When this matter. was brought to the attention of a city offclal last night he sald that he rather sed that the ta: would be paid, as the law permitted the treasufer to send out a personal tax collector to levy on any personal property found. The ex- press companies have hos 4 wagons here and the rallroads frequéntly leave cars standing in, the yards. ,In an informal manner the question was broyght to the attentjon of City Treasurer Howe yesterday evening. The latier, said that he had not given the matter any gon- sideration, but admitted, that the law, gave him the right to levy on property where ta were. pot, paid, , While Mr, , Howe did not say that he would make & levy, he intimated in language nol to be misunder- 8tood that it would be advisable for all those owing taxes {0 pay up as soon as passible. ’ i As. the railroads and express qompanies do. & big business here, it is deemed no more than right by the city officials that they pay a portion of the tax needed to maintain the city government and the jm- provements copstantly being made, Maxwell Semtenced. Willlam Maxweil was glven a sentence of thirty days in afternoon by Judge King. The prisoner plead guilty to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. the man who came hére some time ago and gave the Masonle signal of distress and then proceeded to blow in the monoy ob- tained for booze. A circular ordér went out some time ago warning Masons a Maxwell, who some times goes by the name of Walter Gray. The statement is ‘made that Maxwell has been in the business of fleecing Masons for some three years. Dur- Ing his time in the county fail he will be subjected to the Bertillion examination and will be “mugged.” The photographs will be sent to Masons all over this section of the country {n order to put & stop to his work of {mposing upon lodges in any part of the country, Offer Still Good. Before leaving for his farm yesterday afternoon Joseph Koutsky stdted to a Bee reporter that his offer of $100 reward for the arrest and conviction of any one selling diseased meat inside the city limits was still good. Mr. Koutsky sald that hi money was on deposit at the Packers N tional bank, and that so far it had not been covered by any of the Omaha yellow jour- nals. watch kept on all butcher shops.y Chief Btter of. the fled the mewspapers last nightsthat Manager Manchee of Swift and Company ‘had sent to each member of the.department a Christ- mas turkey. The chl desired that ‘the thanks of the department, himself included, be sent to Swift and Company through the press. The firemen edy that the turkeys will be out of sight tonight. A box of cigars was sent to each of the fire halls by'the local Boston store. Judgment Rendered. A judgment was rendered in Justice Caldwell's court yesterday against the eity in the personal injury case of Carrie Ho- n. The woman brought suit for $195, and was awarded damages amounting to $190 and coste. The decision of the justice 18 _to be appealed to the district eourt by the city's legal department. In her peti- tion Carrie Homan asserts that she slipped on the sidewalk at Thirty-ninth and Q streete and injured one of her hands so that she cannot use it for some time.

Some of the corporations are faking advantage of the law and are paying half at this time and the other half late The railroads are falling bebind in this matter and %o are eome of the paeking houses.

M To the rooms of the Salvation Atmy at | 1515 Capitol avenue there gathered yester- | day afternoon &t 3 o'clock such a body of ople as formed a typioal plctare of the other side” of Chrlstmas. They were there at the invitation of ‘the Army and each of them held In one hand a card which | entitled them to'a dimmer on Christthas day. They were so scantily clothed - that It seemed incredible that some of them had walked muny - miles through yesterday’s winter wind to reach the headquarters. For | them this visit was all that was to die- tinguish Christmas trom any other day, and Adjutant H. G, Crawford wa¥ their Santa Claus. Two hundred and Afty Christmas baskets were given away and each contained chicken or goose, bread, potafoew, truit and ple in quantities according to the several meeds. In each instance, previous to the domation, the case BAd been examined by officers of the army or Officer Wooldridge, who worked with the army, and found to be worthy. | Then, accordifig 'to the system by which the distributfon wid made; & postal card was mafled to the family which entitled them ‘fo » badket. " The ‘cards were mum- bered and the baskets were given numbers corresponding, 8o that each family or per- son received what wase their share, All but two of the %0 baskets were given out at the héadquarters yesterday after- ngon. Of the two OMcer Wooldridge cartied one basket to & family, which, in addition | to belng affiicted with poverty, is nursing several cases of smallpox among fts mem- bers. The other dinner will be cooked by the wife of Adfutant Crawford and served hot td a man who is lying crippled with theumatigm on a bed without a mattress, covered only with carpets, and with his only shelter from the storm a dilapidated shed. The baskets were furnished by money | gathéred by the pots on the street corners, by subscriptions and contributions. The Omaha Bakers' unfon donated 500 loaves of bread, and meat Whs given by the Cudahy Packing company. e R TR T T Amusements. —————————————— At the Boyd.

MANILA, Dec. 24~Alleged cruelties Pperpetuated on natives by soldiers are be- ing investigated throughout the country. When Gereral Miles ‘was at Lipa, in Luzon, natives told him that during the eampalgn ' of reconcéntration American soldfers bhad committed acts of cruelty and violence. He referred the complaints to General Davis, who detailed’ Colonel | Morrls €. Foote of the Twenty-ninth {n- | tantry to investigate. Colonel Foote found the charges of vio- lence to be untrue, but, it is believed, he discovered proofs that the water eure had been administered in some instances. Major George K. Hunter of the Fifteenth cavalry also made certaln charges against Captain Robert L. Howze of the Sixth cay- alry. Prisoners Whipped to Denth. At the time specified Captain Howze was lleuteant colonel of the Thirty-fourth in- fantry.

AMENDS WRONG ORDINANCE Ceuneil Holds Special Meeting to Cor. rect Error Made Tues- day Night. the eause for a special meeting of the council on a “hurry-up” call Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.. Mr. Mount offered his amendments to the ordinance in a written form, in which the ordinance was referred to by the number which It car- ries as a document of the council. The amendfents had ‘ evidently been prepared by some one not familiar with the pro- ceedings of the council, for when the clerk took Up the amendments to engross the bill he found that the number mentioned | in the Mount amendments referred not to (the Rosewater franchise ordmance, but to another document pending befpre. the-coun- ell. Then came the call for. the special meeting. It was a 6 to 4'play, and when a motlon wes made to reconsider the ¥ote by which the wrong document was' amended Tuesday. evening the vote showed Karr, Hascall, Hoye, Mount and Whitehorn in }ine for,the reconsideration.

President Karr came to the rellef of his fellows by deciding that & bare majority could reconsider at a spe- clal - meeting, and the amendments, by maln force, were removed from the ordi- pance which Mr. Mount Bad inadvertently amended. 3 Then the Rosewater erdinance, un- amended, came again. - The majority seemed to fear amendments, 8o a new or- dinagee was intreduced, embracing the provisions of the ordinance considered Tuesday night.
