The report of the committee was adopt/'d. T'he question of establishing a branch of the high school at the Pleaaut school was brought up by a rcK | > rt on a resolution to that effect Introduced at the last meeting. The matter wa < argued by Messrs. Robinson - son nnh Points , the latter arguing that tbo high school should be kept Intact. It was llnally decided to send the Nlnlh grade pupils to the Pleasant school. Mr. Points moved to reconsider this ac tion , mid afterwards moved to postpone the reconsideration until the next meeting. Car ried , Dr. Savllle then called up the report of the committee on high school on the salaries of the high school teachers. The doctor stated that the committee had "equal ized" the salaries of the teachers. In explanation the doctor said the salaries of II vo of the teachers had been In creased from i\W \ to * ' .

Tbo members of the graduating class of the high school listened not long before com mencement day to several addresses by prom inent men , who urged them to continue their work in various colleges and universities.

The class of ' 00 of the Omaha high school Is but a reminiscence of the p.ist , except in so far as it now forms a branch of the alumni association of that institution. Ono last re union last Friday evening lltiishcd the fes tivities of commencement week. This con sisted of a formal reception given in the halls of tlio school building by the older graduates of tlio high school.

Scores of happy school teachers , In light lawn dresses and with faces wreathed In smiles , gossipped and laughed together yes terday In the oftleo of the secretary of the board of education. They were there to draw the p.iy duo them for their labors in instructing the young idea during the last month of the school year. Secretary Piper's head bobbed up and down as ho nodded to the continuous stream of bright femininity that poured in upon him. There is a time of unalloyed happiness in the unusually humdrum life of an instructor in tlio public schools , and that Is the last pay duv of the year. Ten months of dreary , patient toil huvo dragged their weary lengths. There huvo been trials and sere vexations , and some times it seemed as though the strain would prove too grout. There huvo boon mornings when one felt as though to take up the struggle - glo of the day would bean impossibility. ISut this is all over now. The last pay day has come and vavntion.timo Is hero. The clouds have rolled away and the blessed touchers arehappy. . They wore children themselves yesterday as they chatted , their tongues running In an unceasing and badly jumbled chatter. Many of those who drew their warrants loft the city immediately afterwards for their summer's outing and soon will bo dreaming the hours of a long summer day away in tbo cool recesses of some sylvan shade , forgetful of all that is past , ignoring tlio future and living only the happy present.

To the Editor of Tin : Dii : : : Five years ago there wore twelve professors , all told , for the work of tlio academic and Industrial colleges ; now tbcro are twenty-two. Then there were In these colleges 101 students ; now thcro are L''il. Then the total enrollment was 'flS ; now it is 17i > . Then there was but one building on the campus ; now there are live. The internal development has been still moro marked. The department of philosophy luts come into being during the past two years , and is presided over by a professor trained under the best instructors in Ger many. Already a considerable apparatus has been collected for use in experimental re searches. The departments of Greek and Latin have been strengthened by the addition of tbo chair of classical philosophy. Tlio library of classical literature has been greatly increased , and a beginning has been made of a classical museum. In mathematics an adjunct professor has been added , and a considerable amount of apparatus supplied. Chemistry has been developed from a small department occupy ing their poorly lilted rooms , to completely tilling a large building of eighteen rooms , and supplied with from * 10l)0 ( ) ) to $1:3,000 : worth of apparatus. Then it received n part of tbo time of one professor ; now it gives full em ployment to two professors , one instructor and several assistants. What is now tin' department of physics , oc cupying nine large rooms and requiring tbo services of two professors , was then included in live department of chemistry. Tlio present outlit of apparatus includes many of the tlnest pieces made , in the subjects of light , heat and electricity. The geological department , with its line museum and ample labrntory and lecture rooms , bus grown to its present pro portions from tlio dingy museum and single small room of live yours ago. The department of botany nnd horticulture occupied two small rooms for all purposes , and was not overcrowded. Today it Illls seven rooms with its specimens , books nnd apparatus. Then one man gave instructions in French and German to a few students ; now two are heavily burdened with the labor of teaching large classes in these and other modern languiigcs.with Sanskrit and Hebrew in addition. Then the professor of English literature divided bis time between his proper work and the drudgery of rhetoric and composition ; now there are two separate do- piirtmonts , each occupying tbo full time of a professor. The department of history today , with its two professors , lias grown in means and ap pliances , and by tlio recent creation of the allied department of political and economic science advanced work in both lines has been most successfully prosecuted. Civil Engineering was allotted a single room for all its work ; now it has four , with greatly in creased apparatus. Th3 department of ugri- eultur.il Inology is of recent creation. Its rooms , with excellent apparatus for investi gation into tbo physiology and embryology of animals , replace tlio meagre outfit of n few years ago devoted to stock breeding and allied subjects. Then but few students at tended tlio unpopular lectures , now tbo de partment is popular and well attended. Five years ago tlio university library contained books in a small room , now there are about twelve thousand In the general library , which occupies a larger mid bettor room , with many moro in the special libraries of the departments. Then there was but a beginning of a single museum ; now there are live collections in geology and mineralogy , zoology , entomology , botany , agriculture , chemistry and art. Then there was scarcely a laboratory in any science ; now there are no less than eight well equipped laboratories , viz , in chemistry , physics , geology , zoology , entomology , botany , agricultural biology and civil engineering. That the faculty of tbo university is n liberally educated one is shown by the lact that it includes graduates of tbo following colleges and universities , viz : Union , Ober- lin , Yale , Denison , Hiram , Michigan Agri culturalWilliams , Princeton , Nebraska , Boston - ton , West Point , Berlin , Leip/.ig , Zurich , London , Rochester , Johns Hopkins , Western Reserve , Ohio , Harvard , lo-.va and Hillsdnlo.

Benaway was se lected to take the place of D. L. Burgess. Joe Redman , Herb Lcavitt , C. A. Johnson , John Simpson and Mr. McArdlo secured scats and a Voice in tlio meeting on proxies for mem bers who could not attend. As soon as Mr. Gurloy called the assembly to order it plunged into a hot discussion over n notion mule by Mr. Lytle to exclude all spectators from the room. This was llnally declared out of order by the chui" because of its previousness , 110 secretary .having yet been chosen. Somebody nominated E. O. Mayfleld of South Omaha for that place , and he was unanimously elected. Then followed a motion to go into executive session , and it was carried. Reporters , can didates and everybody else not entitled by membership authority to remain were bustled out. out.This This action , however , had no special sig nificance. The object of the meeting was to determine upon and announce dates for hold ing the primary election at which delegates to n county convention will bo elected , who , in turn , are to select sixty-nine delegates to the state convention. Still a point was raised which to some extent showed the drift of gubernatorial sentiment in Douglas county. It was embodied in n motion that the designa tion of polling .places , as well as the naming of judges and clerics for the primary election , bo left to the executive committee of the central committee. This stirred up quite a lively discussion , but tlio motion went through by a vote of nineteen to nine. It was decided to bold tlio primaries July 11 , from Ito t > o'clock in tlio city , and from 7 to ! ) o'clock in tbo country precincts ; and to hold tiic convention July 1J , at - o'clock. Tno committee then adjourned to meet again next Saturday and hear a report from the executive committee. WASHINGTON IS MISTAKRV. * Mr. linker Holds that the Title to tlio I'oNtolHuo Lot < s in the Government. United States Attorney Baker is very in dignant at the charge made by tlio authorities in Washington , as appeared in the correspond ence of Tin : Bii : : ( that it was duo to his idle ness that the matter of proceeding with tbo work on the new government building has been delayed. "I bavo done , " said Mr. Baker yesterday morning , "all I could do in tlio matter except to take a hammer and go out and pull down the old rookeries that encumber the lots , and it is too infernally hot to do that. I received tlio money from Washington ono Sunday mornIng - Ing and before U o'clock Monday morning I bad paid it into the hands of I ho court. As far as tlio title is concerned , it is now , with out question , vested in the United Statesnnd the delay is occasioned by the departments alono. All that was necessary for the title to * become vested in the United States was the money to bo paid into tbo court and the titles approved , and this has been done. Judge Dundy was also seen in regard to the matter. He declared tint at this time ( lie district attorney Had as inneli to do with tlio matter as any other ordinary citizen und no moro. He took the same position ns Mr. linker had taken in regard to the title to the prop- ertv , asserting that it became invested in the United States as soon as ttio money bad been paid into the court. It was not necessary that this money bo paid to these people before fore tbo title of the government became clear. About $ J. > , ( XH ) yet remains in the judge's hands to bo disbursed. Of this amount about iJlH.ooo belongs to Benjamin F. , Alice S. and Nellie R. Folsom and Mary Augusta Martin , minors , now residing in New York , and to represent whose interests no guardian lias yet appeared. Two foreign mortgage companies own tlio bulk of the remainder. Judge Dnndy says that the delay is attrib utable solely to the departments at Washing ton. The most sensible reason , ho adds , that bo hits heard given is tbo one advanced that it might bo well to wait before commencing the plans until congress disposes of the pending bill to increase the limit of cost. Second Ward IteptihlioaiiH. Tlio Second ward republican club held n meeting at Kuspar's hull last night. Barely a quorum was present , owing to the threaten ing storm. President O'Donovan occupied tlio chair and D. D. O'Connell acted as sec- rotary. Tlio minutes of tlio last previous meeting was read , showing that the only bus iness was the allowing of a few bills. Dan O'Keoffo rose to remark that bo was for Mercer llrst , last and all the time , but that the party who thought bo hud Dan O'Keelfo In his Docket had a big load. Ho further in timated that money had changed bunds to iix the ward. ( ins Hamcl took the floor next nnd pro ceeded to roast Frank Kuspar and Hascidl and all other supposed cundtdnUis for alder- manle honors , Intimating at the same time that ho was the man of destiny. There was a great deal of raising to points of order and questions of privilege with very little result. The meeting finally adjourned without tak ing any action , tliougn the drift of the talk showed that tbo members present considered that there wa a political combination against the Second ward , which should bo mot , and that everybody favored Mercer or anyone else in preference to Broatch for governor. A I\\K \ \ I ten I HHtato Deal. Ono of the largest real estate deals which has taken place this season lias been recorded. It will involve perhaps about sixty-live lots In Albright , which have been purchased by E. S. Rood. The value of the lots , the deeds to which have been recorded , is placed at Sri.rJO. It was learned from reliable authority that these lots were purchased by Mr. Rood with a view to dlspo.-lng of them to the Rock Island iieonlo for a round house and side trackage. The company has already secured the right of way through South Omaha and all the way to Lincoln. Prolmhly Inxnnc. Mrs. Martin Dotrick is at tbo central sta tion , Buppoicd to be ins.inc.

TOO MUCtWATlJH , , Haln luterlVrcH with ( he Meetings of Milkmen and Antl-ProhlhltlonlstH. Even the milkmen found too much water last night , and ns a result the meeting which was to have been held nt Wolff's hull went by default. President Littlofleld was in attendance and took occasion to remark that the ordinance now before the council for Its consideration is illegal. Said ho : "It provides a tax of * l to be levied against each cow. This would turn the sum of f 10,000 Into the city treasury , mid ns this sum , which is In the nature of n li cense , exceeds the regular tax , 1 tlilnk it can not bo collected. "Aside from tills it Is unjust for there is the Waterloo creamery , with 1,000 cows , and if the city asked that outlit to pay a license of 81,000 each year it would force the Insti tution out of business. We want to have the grade of milk i-.dsed , but wo want It to come about by fair means and not by opposition. " The milkmen will try und hold a meeting next Saturday night. Rain prevented tbo Swedish nntt-probibl- tionists from holding the meeting booked for last night. E. M. Htenberg , the president of the club , was promptly on hand , but as only n handful of the membar.s assembled the meeting adjourned without llxlng any date for the next meeting. KOll "IIAII.

South Oinaha'M School Board Siiinthli | * SofTii O.M.VII \ , Neb. , June 'J7. To the Ed itor of Tin : Dic : : My attention was called tills morning to mi article in an Omaha morn ing paper headed "A Just Remonstrance , " and the substance of said article was to Iho effect that the citizens of South Omaha were aggrieved at the refusal of Mr. Persons to sign orders for wages duo the teachers. In answer to that part I will state that the or ders were lllled out mid signed by Robert Funston. Where does ho get bis authority to attach his slgniituye thereto as u member nnd secretary of the South Omaha school board ( It is a question for tlio courts to de cide who has the proper authority to act as a member and secretary of the school board , and until then I am powerless to countersign a school order or recognize either one of the contestants as secretary of the board. Tbo above headed article is continued ns follows : "Mr. Pei-sons bases bis refusal upon the fact that Mr. Carroll is contesting tlio deci sion of Judge Shields giving Mr. Funston a seat , and ho will not sign tbo order * ; until the matter is settle 1. There is not a fair minded man in tlio city rich or poor , but regrets that Mr. Carroll should have taken the stops that lie has , and also that ho is upheld by Mr. Persons. " In reply to this paragraph 1 will state can didly and truthfully that I do not , uphold either party in the contest , and that any and every citizen nnd taxpayer in this city , who is liberal-minded and possesses a fair quan tity of intelligence rcali/.es the exact posi tion 1 am placed in as president of the South Omaha school board In the niifortunnto suit between two parlies. I was elected to 1111 my present position by tbo residents of this city , and lor their interests , and their interests wholly , will I work , and not for any selfish ness in this matter. In conclusion I will slate that tbo city treasurer could not and would not cash the orders not properly and authentically signed. Respectfully yours , F. J. Puusoxs. Stationary HiiKincerH' IMonlu.

It Is expected that the now chemical l.iborn lory building at the stale university of Iowa , will be ready for occupancy not later than tins latter part of the next collegiate year. The exercises of commencement week nt the Iowa state university passed olT very pleasantly mid successfully.

The minister of instruction lias in recent years mudo several efforts to lesson the attendance at this and other Russian universities , particularly by keeping away the poor.

Another order i * ' that only iv certain percentage of the total number of students can be Jews. The recent change in the government of Harvard university is not very generally known or understood.
