To the Editor of Tun BEE. I dcslro
fcbrpuKUTiu : Uiuto say in explanation to
several nowspai-or accounts of tlio Tucker ill-
vcmo case tint I lave never felt culled upon
to stand In blio light of the plaintiff In that
case , nor do aught to prevent a decree in ac
cordance with her prayer , yet In considera
tion of the charges made and the publicity
given the case , itseons ; tome proper to say
that the story ns It is related In these au-
couuts is absolutely and unqualifiedly f also.
Iain not unknown totho people of Council
Bluffs nnd the dmrgo of habitual drunken
ness Is refuted without denial , and I may say
now , though that charge Is undeniod In
court , itw ill ftlways stand refuted without
proof vhorover Inquiry Is pressed and Is
made with regard to convenience rather than
fads by tbopctloner nuil her attorney ,
The charge of cruel and iiihnmnn treat
ment lias proceeded upon the necessity of
plenty of f emulation for proof regardless of
the facts known to exist , and could never he
supported cxraptin thaso cases which muko
up the customary practice of lawyers whoso
contested cases mo thosein which the de
fendant makes default ,
The course or this ctiso must nm smoothly
regardless of falsehood , where the silence o'f
the defense is the only possible answer that
can bo made consistent with u result favor-
ahlo to both parties , nnd it Is fairly deduc
ing in face of this that the plaintiff's pe
tition will bo allowed , but should the same
master hand , which has so fearlessly set
forth tlio wrongs of the plaintiff , continue to
bo felt , th ere may bo an answer llled In that
cnso which shall dispel thcconHdenro given
by tlio expected default of the < lefemlimtimd

Minor "Mention.
Unless some legal obstacle is thrown In tbo
way tlio public schools of Council Uluffa will
open this morning under the old manage
ment , and so fur as the ordinary outsider will
Iwabloto Judge there will bo nothing to Indi
cate that there has over boon any trouble in
the superintendent's ofllcoor la tbo board of
education.
In answer to the published notlco author
ized by President J. J , Stewart , the teachers
who liavo boon elected for the ensuing year
gathered utSupcrltucmlont McNnughton's ' of-
lice yestbrday nfloriioon anil signed their con
tracts. There were only ono or two absentees ,
and they wcro outof tha city anil not able to
ivportat the meeting. Tlio rumor that they
will not report at all for duty Is emphatically
denied , .All the ether teachers signed their
contracts and the preliminary work of school
organization was completed and the schools
will cotiiniJiiro this morning and will run
along for imothar year very smoothly und
without uny friction ,
Half an hour after the teachers had gath
ered In the Hloomcr building and had been
addressed by Superintendent McNnughton
thoronrososomo premonitions of a thunder
storm In the placid sky. MOSSM. Wells and
Scliocutgeii , the teacher's committee of the
board , and Member Hunter came into the
room together. The presence ot the gentle
men of the board at such a muting wni ex
traordinary , and a little ripple of excitement
was lit once visible on all the facss. The
gentlemen of tlio board stood looking Into tbo
handsome faces of the teachers fur a few
moments , and then Mr Well ? advanced to
the desk whore Superintendent MeNaughton
was sitting , and with the utmost urbanity
made a formal demand upon him for nil tbo
school property , books , reports , nnd every
thing else In his possession belonuliilf totho
i.idoiiondeut school district of Council liluits.
Mr. Wells -spoke In a very loud and
dear tone of voice , but Prof. McNiuighton
ic < iuested him to repeat his demand , and
before responding asked for a second repeti
tion. His requests : were courteously com
plied with by Air.Vclls , who repeated the
demand the third time with the utmost de
liberation , and tbo superintendent respoct-
fullvbtit llrnily declined to comply. Mr ,
Wells , evidently had but little hope that the
request would bring forth tbo desired action ,
and ho retired to the doorway and held a
whispered consultation with the other mem
bers of the board. What the result of the
conference was could only bu surmised. It
was apparently nothing mors than to re-
tmtinancl supervise tbo clerical work of sign
ing the contracts with the teachers , which fs >
usually done by the president and secretary
and the superintendent. President Stewart
and Clerk llrowu sojmcdto bavory thankful
for their proffered assistance , nnu both Mr.
Wells and Mr. Sclioent ; en were frequently
requested to assist in the work. The utmot
good feeling prevailed on all sides , and tlio
lequests uindc upon the gentlemen were com
plied with with the greatest urbanity.
During the entire time occupied In signing
the seventy-live contracts , which occupied
nearly an hour , Member Hunter was pacing
ui > and down the bulls shaking hands with
himself nnd inwardly thanking Mr. Blaxsim
for malting it possible for him to carry an
Important point by securing the election of
Miss Mnnguin ,
Beneath the apparent good feeling on all
sides there was an expectancy and anxiety
visible which the urbanity of tno goullomcn
could not conceal. It was rumored that an
effort would bo made to nrocuroan inlune-
lion restraining McNnuehtnn from acting in
the capacity of superintendent and It was mo-
mentaril.vexpected that an ofliccr would corao
and serve It , but if such an effort was made
it did not meet with success , for the superin
tendent completed his work without interfer
ence , and assigned the teachers to their work
In the various rooms. It id reported tbat an
application to Judge Carson wns actually
contemplated , but the three members of the
board who desired It were informed that an
Injunction wns not their remedy , but that the
necessary legal steps to bo taken to bring tbo
matter into court did not lie In an Injunction
but In a writ of certiorarl , when the other
members of the board and the superintendent
would bo compelled to make a showing of
their case in court.
After the work of assigning the teachers
had been completed and tno young ladies
were ready to disperse the principals of the
different schools wore invited to n private
conference with Members Wells and Schoent-
geii. The conference was held in un adjoin
ing room behind closed doors. It is reported
'ihntttio teachers wcro instructed to conduct
their schools without taking any notice of
the orders or Instructions of the superintend
ent and to report directly to them.

An Almost Fatal Mistake ,
There was a very sad ease of accidental
poisoning In Council Bluffs last night. Mrs.
J. M. Shoemaker of 1018 Sixth street , wife of
n Onion Pacific conductor who la absent from
home , has been quite sick for several weeks.
Her physician has been obliged to administer
morphia to iillay her pain , nnd last night Mrs.
Shoemaker , being loft with no ono in the
houfo but her thrco small children , made a
inhtakolu iirjparln thu mciilclno by the
assistance of hur llttlo girl , and she took a
double dose of chorano. Jii about half an
hour after she had taken tlm drug she begun
to suffer oxcruciatlntr agony , and the llttlo
Ktrlrunout for some of the neighbors. The
physician was summoned , and ho soon dis
covered the cause of the suffering , Mrs.
Shoemaker was near death's door when the
physician arrived , but by cxtraorUluory ef
ha succeeded In bringing lior back to
the land of the living , She will doubtless
recover.

mothcr , herself and Dr. F. S. Thomas , who

A very exciting oplsodo occurred on tlio
corner of Seott street and Broadway just before
fore the close of business last evening. The
oplsodo consisted of a very handsome young
lady using her urn brolla In the fashion that a
first class baseball batter handles his bat
when ho makes a throe-bagger , The ball
that wns so energetically hatted was the
very round redhead of a clerk at L. H. Moss-
lor's clothing store , The young lady learned
that the cleric had been saying some uncom
plimentary things about her , which were not
simply diaphanous but slanderous , She
called to see him titthuitoro , and the young
man asked her to stop to the door and then
quietly turned the corner and started dowa
Scott street. The young lady stopped him
about midway of the building and a long and
earnest collociuy ensued. It was terminated
abruptly by tlio young ludy suddenly folding
her umbrella und vuundlug the young man
vigorously over the head. The young man
did not try to defend himself , but sought
safety in flight. The young lady pursued
him into the .sUlrwuy of the Sapp block and
ho only escaped by guttliur into the elevator
and closing the door , whluh leeks oa the In-
sldf , nnd then the thoroughly exasperated
young lady endeavored to proa him with her
umurolla through the meshes of the wiw
case.

nca who , in Uines ( jono by , pulled the lines
over the old horse cnr mules of the past. As
eon as the electric linei were put in opera-
ion the bob-tail cars wore relegated to the
ear and the drivers were priivtpd to the
josltlon of motor men and cnndai'N't's. These
nicnaro divided Into cMtvs , Mi ? va as I'rog- '

As is well known , a craw coasUts of a con

When a CMW entorj the sorvlco of the
company ho is taken on trial , mid for seven
anya is known as a "student. " Ho runs out
vith regular trainmen , operating tlio motor
crank or pulling1 tlio ball punch , accordingly
is ho desires to become a motor man or con
ductor. If , at the end of that time , ho dls-
> lays the uvcrngo ability , his naino Is placed
on the pay-roll and ho becomes an extra ,
catch ing u train whenever a regular man Is
off duty.
In the matter of reporting for work the dny
ns well a * all other men aw required to bo at
lie power houses , from which tlio respective
, rains depart , at least llfteen minutes before
, ho train is scheduled to leave.
The e.irly men are at the power houses at
i : li ! u. in. , where they register , after which
.ho conductor receipts for mid Is given his
jellpunca nnd the inntornum his implements
for the operation of his car.
The two men then repair to the car sheds ,
vhon they sweep out and dust their curs and
vhon the bell in the power house tups tbo
lour for stiirtinc , they push their train out
iito the yards and arc away.
Other men continue to drop in at Intervals
or ton minutes until 11 o'clock , when the
trains nro all out , catching the heavy tralllc
oftho day.
Those early-hour men run their trains until
> :45 a. m. , when the "dinner relief" begins
.o appear , and from that tlrno until 20 : ! ! p. in.
n the afternoon the regular crows are re-
loved in the order in which they Went on
duty in the morning , each crew taking two

back on their trains and run till 4iiO ! p. m. ,

, he trains are nulled oft in the order In which

enables the regular mt-u to average iiino and
the others eight and throe-quarter hours per
lay. They are paid 20 cents per hour -while
out on the lino.
The "swing" crews ara composed of the
ncn who make the early and late runs , tak-
ng the first trains In the morning und the
ast at night ,
To induce the men to always bo on hand an
nllcxiblo rule is in force which provides that
when a man is not at the powerhouse fifteen
ninutcs before his train is scheduled to start ,
10 loses the day and his train is handled by
an "extra" The saino rule applies to the ex
tras and if one is not on hand and registered
ready to go out , should occasion demand , ho
oies his position as to seniority and goes to
, ho foot of the lUt , thug placing bin chances
"or securing a regular train seine distance in
the dim future.
Much has been said anil written about the
iron-clad contract which the men are com
pelled to sign before entering the employ of
; ho company , but an Inspection of it shows
ilMt it is a very ordinary affair , differing but
little from other contracts that employes are
required to enter into. It provides that lif-
LWU uajs- pay suuu uo nuiu uacK to cover
damages wilfully done to the property of the
company , and that due care shall baexerclsed
in performing the work required. To obtain
a good idea of a motorman's work , taUo a
trip over tbo line and watch for results.
The train is shoved out from the power
house ; the motorman puts four standard car
bon brushes , live fuses , u pair of pliers und
a screw-driver into a tool-box under the front
seat. The bell is sounded , nnd after releas
ing the brake and giving the crunk over the
armature box on the front end of the motor
turns to tbo right , the train moves out. The
conductor stands on the platform and is mon
arch of all ho surveys , ns ho Is In full
charge of the train. At each crossing the
motorman sounds his goup , not because ho
wants to do so , but because It is a rule of the
company. The motonnan watches for passen
gers , and makes an attempt to run his train
on time nnd keep the regulation speed , which
is ton miles per hour through the residence
and six miles per hour through the business
portion of the city. Ho watches for obstruc
tions on the track and helps the conductor
eject passengers who will not pay.
The conductor collects fares whenever pas
sengers board the train , and works indus
triously to make the figures on his bell-puneti
correspond with the fares , passes and trans
fer tickets handled.
"It is a great life , " said a conductor , "and
while it is shorn of many of the dangers , it
takes on many of the exciting features of railroading
reading ,
"Now , wo liavo lots of experiences and
many chances to study human nature in all
of its varied forms , but things are not as bad
as they were ono yeav iigo ,
"Why , lo you know that when the oloctrio
lines started , the people In Omaha know
scarcely anything about street ears I They had
an idea that wo wcro still running the old
bob-tails , and thought wo could stop at any
place on the street. They also thought that ft
was as easy to get on or olt a train running
at ten miles per hour as of ono pulled along
by an antiquated mule. They paid no atten
tion to our signs that caution people about
moving trains , but wo nro getting them edu
cated , nnd every leg that wo amputate makes
the lesson more clear and easily understood.
"Every time wo kill a man or cut off a log
n great howl gees up about the carelessness of
the trainmen , but , upon investigation , it is
always shown that we are not at fault.
"Wo find the kicker and have to contend
with him every hour in the day. First , ho
tells that wo are running too fast ; then that
wo aroruiminutoo slow. But you know wo
can't suit everybody , and If wo suit the coin-
and draw our salary , I think wo are
Sany pretty well.
"No , thanks , I don't care fora cigar. I
can't smoke , for It is ono of the rules that no
smoking is allowed wliilo on duty.
"As I was saying before , wo have trouble
with passengers. anil'Tain sorry to say that
wo frequently havb'Jlconsiderablo dilllcuHy
with the ladies. They are a queer lot. They
will stand on a corner and look into a show
window until tbo train passes and them niako
ar awful fuss because. ' wo did not stop and
tell thorn they wnnti'd ' to ride. Some of them
get mad because woiwlll not carry their dogs
on the tralij. Only thuTother day a lady was
going to report mo because I would not allow
her dog to ride In th'o our. It beats all how
much some people think of their dogs , but
rules nro rules , and dugs can't ' ride with mo.
"Iwant to tell you1of a funuy experience I
had the other day , ' It will show you how
some people will squpo/o a -cont piece ,
"I was making thp .yhorman avenue run
nnd pretty well out toward the north end , a
linoly dressed lady njifl two children got on
my train. The lady passed up ono faro and
settled buck In the scat with an air of perfect
contentment.
" 'Must have faro for those children,1 sold
I , 'If they ride , '
" 'The brats are not mine , nnd I'm ' not go
ing to pay for thorn' snapped the lady , ns she
gave mo u look that was Intended to plorco
mo llko a dagger , but It did not pierceto any
grout extent. I pulled the boll cord fora
stop , nnd partly for a Joke said ; "Hero , you
kids pet oil. "
' "You ought to have seen that woman 1
Was she mudl I should say so , Her eyes
fairly Hushed lire , nntl going down Into a well-
tilled purse she llslicd out u diiuo and bund
ing It to mo remarked.
" 'I will pay for those children , but I will
report you , '
"U'ho passengers smiled. I Unvo" not been
reported. I live about a block from that
woman's house , nnd I know that at homo she
poses as the mother of the children.
"JSIca liavo a great way of trying to got out
of paying faros , The fuvorlto method is to
got on the trains atsoiuo street corner where
the trafllc is heavy , nnd , ns soon ns the man
stops on tbo platform ho surveys the interior
of the car at a glimco , and then slip Into some
[ ilaco Just vacated by n passenger.
"Ho puts on a look of Indifference mid
buries himself in thought ,
"When I go through the cars , this
; cntlninon looks up und It is only \vhon I re
mind him of the fact that he must pay If
lie wnnU to ride , Unit ho can bo convinced
that he got on to the cnr at the corner Just
ono block back , lint what's the use of talkIng -
Ing I could tell you stories all day , but
avcry ono who rldea knows of the troubles wo
linvc , " and the train nulled up to tnlco on an
oldlndy who wns wildly shaking her umbrella
at the motorman ,

A. NOMVOIIIIK Women's ' Homo.
The Woman's ' Christian association of
Omaha Is an tictlvo nnd aggressive body of
earnest Christian woman , who have the hap.
plness of others nt he.irt. The ladles have
Lhreo enterprises under thnir management
that require n vast amount of work and con
siderable personal saurlllce. They are the
Exchange , the homo for old laulos and the
young women's homo.
At the old Indies' ' home on Burt street
there are now seventeen boarders , nnd at the
liomc for youngwomen there nre over twenty.
These young ladles are furnished with good
Accommodations and many homo comforts
that they could not get ut regular boarding
pluses , and pay but $ .1.50 per week ,
Tlio house now used by the association for
the homo for young women at 10'J South Sev
enteenth stivot Ins been found too small for
the accommodation of us many as the associ
ation can provide for.
At the regular monthly meeting yesterday
it was decided by the association to take the
McCormack house at the comcrof Eighteenth
and Dodge. This will give the association n
homo that will accommodate about thirty
young ladies , nnd the rooms will bo much
more desirable , the ventilation better and tbo
place very much more like n homo.
The now quarters will bo taken about the
first of October. The homo 1ms been at the
present location for Just a year.
The report from the exchange department
was very satisfactory nnd the ladies feel very
much ncouragcd with the progress they are
making In their undertakings.

"Chuinocrlain's Couph licmcdy sells better

because it can always bo depended upon.
Lot any ono troubled with a severe cold give
It a trial nnd they will find that the first dose
will relieve the lungs nnd make breathing
easier , and that Its continued use will free
the system of all symptoms of the cold. The

"Nnnon , " Hlchard Gcnco's romantic
opera , which has been heard In almost every
tongue , so popular Is it , win produced last
evening at the Uoyd by the Curloton opera
company. It was llko n reunion of the old
guard of opera goers. Llko veterans assem
bling ut the anniversary of a great battle ,
they gathered In the lobby during the entr'
actes , greeted old comrades , talked over that
great premier who tlrst produced the opera
in this country , of Lllliiin Uussoll , of Merion
Mimola , of Fanny Hlco , and then they came
back to the present and npoko in
tender phrases of tlio comedienne of
the Curlctou company , Miss Clara Lano.
Her Nunon is one of the most chnrining roles
in her repertoire. She is winsome and win
ning , nnd plays the part with an Intelligence
so rare thai ouu woudcrs if she comes from a .
family of opera singers , so natural and re
fined is hoi * work. Miss .li-annlu Winston as
Ninon was n revelation. Herctoforo we hnvo
seen the role nlnyed without tlio least part
icle of dramatic : force , but she gave a now
force to that most biilllnt.t of French women ,
who ruled Paris and Franco almost as su
premely ns Mine , no Malntenoa ruled Louis
XIV. Mr. Carleton as the Marquis
d'Auolgne was In splendid voice. The part
Is Just suited to him , and ho brings to It a
dash , nn abandon quite cnptlvltatlng , It
Is by far the cbolcost of his roles.
Mr , Blgclow as the Marquis do Murslluc , Mr.
Murray as tbo Abbe , and Mr. Hlnko as
Hector , assisted In the unravollngof thoplot ,
which Is ono of the strong features of the
opera , to any nothing of the book , which in
this instance was written by Sidney Kosca-
fcld.

"Five ycnrs ago I had a constant cough ,
night sweats , was greatly reduced In llosh ,
and had been given up by my physicians , I
began to take Ayer's Cherry I'ectoral , and
after using two bottles of this modioino , wns
completely cured , " Anga A. Lewis , Ulcard ,
Pensions and Slentlleancy.
There used to bo no dilYorcmco be
tween American political manners anil
those of Europe says M L. Godkin in the
September Forum more striking than
the attitude of the American mind tow
ard pensions. In England , for two cen
turies at least , and in Franco , under tlio
old regime , ovoryljoilygotn pension who
could , without shame or scruple , and
those who got the largest ones were con
sidered the luckiest dogs. Hut in Am
erica there has always , until now , been
an honorable dislike to taking
public money , except as a
salary , and it was with some dilli-
culty that the discredit was suspended
in the case of soldiers superannuated or
disabled in the iiublio service. That
this feeling lias-well nigh passed awayor
hits boon greatly weakened , no ono who
watches tlio eiTeot of the recent pension
legislation at Washington can deny.
The old national modesty about govern
ment money is , in fact , gone , or is rapidly
going. Everybody , or nearly everybody ,
takes it , who gets u chnnco to do so , and
the fact that there is plenty of it in the
treasury quiets the qualms even of the
oven of the raoro scrupulous ; just as if
alms-taking from a rich man \voro less
humiliating than alms-taking from a
man of moder.ito means.
