Sergeant Rentfrow brought a charge against Patrolman L. Osborn for belng oft his beat when he should have been on. Grocer Davidson, in whowe store the ser- geant found Osborn, testified, and so did Osborn, that he had been in the store three minutes to sse about a colt which had broken out of Davidson's lot had been running at large. While they wére talking Osborn sat down on a cratker box and there Rentfrow caught him. The board thought the offense sufficiently reprehen- sible to fine Osborn thirty days’ pay and ordered him to report to the chief for in- 1 | structions. The communication from the council stat- ing that the speclal deputies who did duty during the strike should be pald out of the police fund was read 'and placed on file. , | The board does not agree with the council. ‘While the board, was in session Sergeant Gibbons came In and asked advice about closing the saloons at Beventeenth and St. Mary's avenue and at Fifteenth and Web- ster streets for being run In connection with wine rooms. The board ordered the officer to close the saloons. The members later decided to allow the saloons to open when the wine rooms were taken out. Sev- eral bills were ordered pald and several officers were granted leaves of absence. -| All members were present except Com- - | misstoner McHugh. TREATED SON WITH A CLUB Dr. Impey Finds it Necessary to Apply Physical Force in Allopathic Dose: As a result of a fight between Dr. Charles Impey, 220 Willis avenue, and his son, ¢ |Earl Impey, of the same address, the lat- ¢ |ter was under the care or the police sur- geon for some time last night. His in- Juries consisted of a bad cut on the head, a fractured forearm and several minor bruises. To do the operation the doctor used a club. After his wounds were dressed young Impey was detiined at the police station, his father later notifying the police that he would furnish the bond necessary o secure his relcase. Young Impey, it was reported to the police, went home fn an Intoxicated condi- tion, as he had frequently done, and started a row with his father. The latter ended the row with a elub and notified the police. Officer Heelan ana Detective Po- tulla went to the house and arrested Earl Impey, but at that time the father was not at home. It was told the police that on several occasions the boy had threatened [ to kil his father. ot MR MBS All kinds of up-to-date features at Lake Manawa. amusement LOCAL BREVITIES. ¥or the High school commencement at the Orpheum Friday night no flowers are | to* be sent to the theater | A basket picnic will be held at Courtland beach next Saturda: the Sunday school of Al' Saints’ churel | the Paxton hotel corner at 10 &. m. | ter Rodney, who is addicted to dope and sees things, ran wild yesterday after- | noon and imagined someone was going to | eut his throat.

VOTERS URGED TO LOOK INTO PROPOSAL Superintendent McLean Asserts There is Imperative Necessity of Pro- viding More Room for the City Schools. Those interested in educational work in South Omaha seem to think too little in- terest is being displayed in the high school bond proposition. Between now and the date of election steps will be taken to lay before the people in an em- phatic manner the necessity for better school accommodations, and espectally the need of a new high school building. For two years the school district has owned the site which occupies half a block front- ing on Twenty-third street and extending from J on the morth to K street on the south. As the district is not bonded -the expenditure of §100,000 for additional school raom is not considered extravagant. The proposition is to issue bonds in a sum not to exceed $100,000, to run for twenty years and draw interest at a rate not to exceed 5 per cent annually. These bonds are to be known as high school bonds and will be of the denomination of $1,000 each. On account of the long time to run it is ex- | pected that there will be no difficulty iIn securing a good-sized premium. Should the proposition carry the bonds will bear date of July 1, 103. A tax Is to be levied annually for the payment of the interest and the principal as the bonds mature, Superintendent McLean has complled data showing the need of additional school room and especlally the need of better provision for the high school plasses. Every year the number of pupils énrolled increases and unless something is done before long the ditsrict will not be able to care for them. By the bullding of a high school, which would of course include a preparatory school, the number of pupils at Central school would be decreased and thus furnish room for additional students in the lower grades, and at the same time do away with the renting of outside rooms in the business portion of the city. Hospital Association Musieale, Next Tuesday afternoon a musicals will be given at the home of Mrs. George H. Brewer, Twenty-fifth and H streets, for the benefit of the South Omaha Hospital association. It s the intention of the as- soclation to present a program that will be appreciated by those fond of music. As the object is a worthy one, It {s ex- pected the Brewer residence will be crowded on this occasion. Condemn Bullding For a number of years the city official have endeavored to have the old frame building on Twenty-fourth street, Jjust north of K, condemned. Resolutions enough to fill a good-sized basket have been adopted by the council in connection with the razing of this bullding, but still the old shack remains. The building is owned by Horace Plunkett, a resident of England. Every time the bullding is con- demned Plunkett's agent comes to the front with a statement that extensive im- provements are to be made on the Plunk- ett property soon. Last year it was an opera house that was to be built. This year it is a three-story brick bulldivg. All that the agent wants is a lttle more time and the council naturally grants the request City Engineer Beal asserts that Plunkett building under consideration the 1s unsafe and should be torn do M Windsor, the agent, thinks the bulldng is all right and it 1s now up to the council committee on buildings to"decide between the statement of the engineer and that of the agent. Amphion Club Concerts. Officers und members of the Amphion club are considering the advisability of giving a series of three concerts in the fall for the purposs of showing what South Omaha musicians can do. At the present time the club s made up of twenty mem- hers, all excellent musiclans. The pro- posed concerts are not to be given as a money-making venture, but to bring prom- ising musicians to the front. Season tickets for the three concerts are offered for $1 Should a sufficlent number of tickets be pledged to raise a fund of $400 the concerts will be given. If not the project will most likely be dropped. Not long ago the club gnve an excellent recital at the First Bap- tist church, admission being gained by In- vitation, as no admission fee was exacted The officers of the club are E. P. Baker, president; F. C. McMillan, secretary, and Genevieve Tylee, treasurer. Dirty Areaways. Time and again has the attention of the city officials been called to the condition of areaways. On the business streets the majority of the areaways are filled with waste paper and other rubblsh. When the Fire and Police board went Into power It was expected that an inspection would be compelled t keep the areaways and back- stairs free from rubbish. This has not be:n done and insurance men say this is one of the reasons for the continued high rate of insurance charged In South Omaha. Only Two Complaints, Only two complaints wers filed with the Board of Review yesterday and these were both for small amounts. tion and left without flling complaints Some of the corporations are having com- parisons with the 1902 assessment made and it is expected that complaints from these sources will be presented later.
