toTiiK Jinn. ] The opera house was packed
this evening with nn enthusiastic audience to
1 licar the anti-prohibition argument of John
Ii. Webster. In n convincing manner the
speaker showed by statistics .from prohibi
tion states that every phase of the
law Is a failure , nnd that the
lair name of Nebraska's prosperity
should not bo tampered with. He proved by
statistics that in the city of Augusta , Me. ,
moro drunkenness was Indulged in thun in
JCeanioy , reckoning both cities to bo nearly
of the same population. Mr. Webster's '
presence hero will doubtless result In much
peed for the high license issuo. Frequent

Hon. AV. i-i. Green will make a reply to the

LOCiVLi POLITICS.
Ward Kcpiibllc.ini.
The Eighth ward republicans met last
night at Schroder's hall , corner of Twenty-
fourth and Cumlngstreets. . The hall was
well filled and the enthusiasm was up to the
standard A resolution was adopted and a
committco was appointed for the purpose of
having the Hug raised on the ward club pojo
that stands near the club headquarters.
Mr , C. 1" . Halligan of the fourth ward was
present , and was called upon for a speech.
Ho addressed the club upon the living Issues
of the campaign , and was enthusiastically
applauded. Ills remarks upon the tariff
question and upon the Lodge bill wore well
received. Mr. Halligan said that ho know of
one man upon , the democratic ticket who.is a
ballot box stuffer. Ho referred to W. 8.
Felker , he-said , for he hnd seen , him stuff a
ballot box la Omahar and- lie did not believe
in sending thut kind of a man to the legisla
ture. .
John Groves was called out'andg-ave a very
interesting talk upon the polltlr.il situation.
Ho scored the democratic party upon the idle
boasting that its leaders had indulged in. nnd
showed that the free trade policy of the dem
ocratic party If adopted -would bring poverty
andTuln to the country.
Ii. A. I/ . Dick was the next speaker called
and In his usual eloquent style ho enter
tained the club for half an hour while ho
reviewed the chief topics of the cam
paign making many excellent points.
Ills remarks upon the duty of republicans
toward .Mr. Kiclinrds were convincing and
eloquent , and received liberal npplausp. Ho
predicted thnt James E. Boyd would scarcely
poll the usual party vote at the coming olcc-
tlon , because many of the leading democrats
nro going to desert Boyd. Mr. Dick snoke
oloquontly'upon the tariff measures of the
repuDllcan.blll , nnd ho presented some excel
lent arguments.

Nnw YOHK , Oct. 24. ] Speclal Telegram to
Tun UF.K.J H. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly re-
t'lew of trade says :
IJuslnoss continues largo In volume and
generally profitable. It many branches there
is a noteworthy expansion on account of the
inw opportunities which the revised tariff
gives , boston U mis the boot mid shoe triulo
cnixmraglngatid prices In that line are linn.
Sales of wool nro rather largjc , but tliorc 'is ' a
distinct Improvement In the innrUet for
woolen goods nnd nimitifaotururs nro more
hopeful. Cotton goods are linn In price ,
while the raw material declines. At Phlla-
lelphln money hus become easy mid collec
tions nro on tlio whole satisfactory. AtChi-
cage there is n marked doorcase in receipts In
cured meats , dressed hcnf , lard , butter and
hides , hut In cheese nnd wool nu Increase ,
and ttio volume of business continues Inrgci *
than a year ugo , with satisfactory collections
in dry goods and clothing ,
At St. Louis thostatoof business Is healthy
nnd while money is rutlier scarce there is no
trouble about1 eollections. The volume of
business at Cleveland Is much nhovo last
, -curs , especially In dry goods and clothing- ,
.hough the unfavorable weather retards trade
to some extent , nnd at 1'ittsburg the manu
facturing Interests are nourishing , though
lower prices are quoted. It is a remarkable
feature of the returns this 3'car In that west
ern cities appear to prosper without the
slightest regard to the condition of husi-
ness on the seaboanl. At Milwaukee
trade Is satisfactory and money unusually
active at 0 to * percent. At St. Paul trade
is excellent and nt Minneapolis receipts .of
wheat reach 1,1100,000 bushels. At Kansas
City trade is healthy nnd at Denver good.
There Is rather more Indication of monetary
pressure at southern centers , and business fo
only fairly active In the Louisiana region.
The money markets are on the whole less
disturbed than they were a week ago , but
there is nn incrcisiug : scnrcity of funds at
some of the western and sou thorn centers.
The most important industties are
doingwell. . The iron trade is hcsl-
tathiR because nn unprecedented con
sumption is overmatched by an unprecedented
production. Hossemor Is weak at Plttsburpr
mid Philadelphia but the demand for all
finished products continues so largo that the
capacity of the mills seemed to bo strained to
the utmost. While no advance in prices is
reported the market is everywhere strong.
Tlio market for breadstuff. * continues to ad
vance. Wheat hns risen IjVf cents during the
week ; corn nearly 1 cent and outs nearly U
cents. The foreign demand affords no sup-
IKirt to this speculation and the exports are
far below those of the corresponding week
last year Hogs are steady and pork a shade
lower , but it inny bo fairly said ttiut the
speculative markets , though rather less excited -
cited ttiuii usual , nro singularly unreliable as

A NUMBER OF WITNESSES EXAMINED
Citizens Clnlm thnt Morrlssoy Chnrgca
Too Much for His Bervlues
Testimony oC/laulci's / and
Dump KmployoH.
The sncclnl committee of the city council
appointed to Investigate the manner In which
Sanitary Commissioner Morrlssoy has been
conducting his ofllce , met In the rooms of the
board of lire nud pollco commission yesterday
morning.
A number of well known citizens , who , It
was learned , hnd complained of Morrlssoy's
methods , had been summoned and appeared
before the committee. As each wns called
lie was sworn nnd stenographer took down
all that was said.
Dexter L. Thomas , Victor Cntdwcll , K. L.
Cook , 0.V. . Bonewa and others testified that
they had been heavily overcharged by Alor-
rlssoy. They cited the miioiints they had pivld
per load lost year for the same work. Where
83 per load used to bo charged lust year f. > is
now charged by Morrlssey.
Harry Heed showed InoiTect that Morrlssey
had charged him double what Goldsmith hud
for cleaning n vault on hU premises.
Thomas Casey testiilcd ttiat Morrlsspy had
ncted Insultingly to him upon bciug appealed
to regarding a case and that ho could not gut
any satisfaction from lilm.
One of the most flngrant instances of inter
est was brought out by the testimony of K. L.
Cook. Mr. Cook said that Morrissuy hud no-
tilled him of a nuisance on Ills premises , not
withstanding t.ho house had not boon occu
pied for months. Witness mild ho had se
cured n certlllcnto from the neighbors to the
effect that the place was not u nuisance. Ho
also hnd neighbors with him to see that there
was nothing In the way of a nuisance in the
vault. Morrlssoy went ahead , however , and
noon nftor presented a bill for $ T
for hauling away one load of garbage or night
soil.
soil.While
While the examination was In progress ,
Oeorgo Christopherson hurriedly appeared
before the board nnd asked that the investi
gation bo postponed ono day , as it was im
possible for Mr. Alorrlsaoy to ho present.
Chairman Olson of the committee milled
that the committee was simply taking testi
mony und that no dccislin would bo arrived
nt then. Ho added thnt the testimony was
being taken down verbatim and Mr. Mor-
rlssov would bo given nn opportunity to
read if.
Sergeant Graves took the stand nnd testified
substantially in accordance with his recent
report regarding his Investigation of the
sanitary condition of the city. His report , it
will bo remembered , wa < to the effect that
the general condition of things wns bud. The
sergeant wound up ills testimony by saying :
"You will never get the city in good con
dition until you have a dllTcront system for
handling the garbage. "
"What sort of a system would you suggest , "
asked Olson ,
"Well , sir , I would have the city charter
nmended so as to allow the putting aside of
about C mills for n fund with which to nllow
the city to do this work on its own hook. If
that plan doesn't meet with approbation , I
would do it this way : Let the garhngcmas
tor's onicogoentlrely and lot every citizen have
his garbage , etc. , hauled away how and by
whom ho pleases so long as it is removed at
the proper hours of the night aud in the right
kind of closed , tightly covered wagons. "
The members of the committee gave silent
indications of their approbation of both of
these ideas.
J. B. Evans proved to bo ono man who said
that it had rest him less to have his garbage
removed this year than last. But when Air.
Kvans followed up the statement with an
other to the effect that this year he was pay
ing $1 per load for getting- his refuse moved
away and last year it cost him 50 cents a load ,
the committee had to smile. No explanation
was made.
Mr. Shriver , who , with Mr. Blumer , wns
ndded to this special committee nt the last
mceeingof the council , tried to take a hand
in tbo questioning-nnd Chairman Olson rather
shut him off.
"Ain't I got aright toaskanylhlne ? " asked
Shriver. ,
"Yes , but don't ask n thing over a dozen
times , " ronlled Olson.
"I nln't. "
"Yes you arebut don't lot's fightnbout It. "
"You seem to want to do this thing all
yourself. "
Both men were getting warm under the
collar and the other members of the commit
tee whispered something like "let it go , " and
the wrangling ceased.
At this point it wns found that the number
of witnesses had been exhausted , and u rc-
cess wns talcn until 2 o'clock.
In the afternoon J. S. Bennett , who is em
ployed by Lazerus & Bennett , garbage men ,
to seek out nuisances or work that should be
done in their line , was the llrst witness. Ho
said it wasn't his business to ascertain the
amount charged for removing garbage , etc. ,
but ho hnd beard that o a load was the ilg-
ure.
ure.John Nelson , ono of the four men ongntrod
by Morrissey to clean cess pools , owned out
right that ho charged $5 n load , or 10 cents
n cubic foot. Ho always made a bargain with
the party responsible for the cess pool before
doing the hauling. Three wagon louds was
the most ho had been able to haul in a night.
Ho said ho paid Bennett KO cents for every
" ] ob" the latter got for him. Being asked
the capacity of his wagon , ho said ho could
haul $7 loads , calculated at 10 cents a cubic
foot.
foot."Do
"Do you know anything about hauling dead
nnlmals ? " asked Mr. Olsen.
"Yes , sir , I do,5' replied Nelson.
"Then I will ask you whether you think
that If the city gave tho'contract for hauling
away all dead animals to one man for a year ,
such a man could afford to do It without ex
pense to the city ! "
"Yes , sir , ho could , " wns the reply , "and If
bo was ! lx d to handle the carcasses make
the best use of them ho could make mouov
out of It. "
"That's what I "
thought , commented Olsen ,
nodding slgnlllcuntly to the other members of
the committee ,
L. F. Lazerus , the scavenger , was called
next.
"How much do you charge for hauling
night soil , etc ? " was the llrst question.
Ton cents n cubic foot. "
"How much do you have to nay Morrlssoy ! "
"One dollar for every load. "
"What if you don't happen to have a full
loud say you have only half or a quarter of
ukmdi"
"I have to pay Morrissey $1 every time I
dump no matter what Is the size -jf my lona. "
"Mr. Lu/erus , you know considerable about
hauling dead animals , etc. Now don't you
think a man could afford to undertake to do
it for two or three year * or so ut a time for
nothing ! "
"You but he could , and ho could mnko a
pile of money out of It ho could make great
money , " and Oleson's eyes again snapped nn
emphatic "told you so" to his colleagues.
Newton NIdiiy , a mirbugo hauler , was
called. Ho had been dlsuharged by Morris-
soy. When lin first took tlio contract for the
Fourth ward Morrissov assured him , he said ,
that ho could mnko Si.59 a cluy for each of
his teams , but bo tuul not mudo so much.
Morrlssoy charged him 10 per cent commis
sion at first , but on September ! W he raised it
to 20 per cent on nil thut ho collected. When
Nidnv told Morrlssoy that thu ordinance
would not permit him. to charge 20 percent
commission , Morrissey said : "Tho ordinance
bo . " The tvitnoi said , further , that lie hnd
hauled garbage nwny from Mr. Morrissey's
house nil summer and never got a cent for it ,
but had to pay Morrlssey a commission upon
hauling his own garluea free of charge.
When NIdny complained of the raise In
Morrlssoy's commission from 10 to 20 per
cent , Morrlssoy said : "Well , quit nml.get
'out of here. 1 never wanted you anyway.
The mayor forced you onto mo hi thu liwt
placo. "
Nlday said , also , thnt Morrissey charged
him ? I.Tfl a loud for the refuse ho hauled ,
even when ho ( Nlduy ) only got 50 rents or ? l
for hauling It. NIdny said the dump master
tore a leaf out of his book for every load ho
hauled to the river.
Frederick Albright , dump master at the
font of Jones btreot , was called next. Ho
said ho opened the dump at about 7 o'clock
In tlio morning and cloned It nt 7 o'clock In
the evening , Ho received on an average of
about two hundred ami seventy-live loads u
day. Ho produced u huudful of ticket * thut
ho hod torn out of the books presented with
loads of gnrbngo yesterday. These tickets ,
ho explained , were returned to Mr. Morrissey -
soy every week. With n * parti to Mr. NIdny ,
Mr. Albright said that Nlday had the best
teams and brought the garbage to the dump In
better wagons than any of Iho other haulers.
Albright said that Morrlssey had agreed to
pay htm II T > u month for attending to his
tickets , but he had not paid him nil that wna
duo him. Morrlssoy hnd taken the skinning
of nnlmals out of ttie hands of the man who
used to do that work , Albright snld , because
Morrlssoy suld ho could get them hauled for
the hides.
C ? . \V. Coles , another gnrbngc hauler , wns
called and testified as to the method of con
ducting til'1 ' business , Hli evidence" was
practically n repetition of former evidence ,
excepting that ho said they sometime )
struck a snap in cleaning vaults and coi a
contract which allowed them $10 n load , In
stead of thi ) regular 10 cents per cubic foot ,
which would bo only about $ . " > n load , Ho
said they could not a'tTord to haul night soil
for less than 55 n load , and they tried to got
more If they could , for they had to pay Morrissey -
rissey * 1 for every lend they hauled.
Thomas Harrington , who collects tickets
nt the Davenport struct dump at night , was
called , but ho had no tiistimonty to offer that
had not already been given In substance by
others.
Mr , Brady , the day mnn nt the Davenport
street dump , was also called , but ndded noth
ing to the atory.
The committee then adjourned to meet nt
10 o'clock today , when It is expected that
Morrissey will bo present.
How it AVI1I Ix < Kncnnrnci'il in tlic Nor
mill School.
Dr. W. S. Oibhs , a member of the board of
education , nud ono of the ardent supporter : )
of the normal school project , is enthusiastic
over the matter and feels confident that not
only will n normal school bo a great bcnt'llt
In giving graduates of the high school an op
portunity to fit themselves for teaching , but
will result inn saving in the running ex
penses of the schools.
At the mjuost of Tun Bin : man the doctor
outlined the plan which it is proposed to con
duct thu normal school ,
"Tho committee having tills matter in
charge , " said tlio doctor , "will ruoomiiiend to
the bourd the ? employment of one teacher at n
salary of $ lr > 00 , to have general charge of tbo
normal department nnd conduct a class in
theory and practice. This teacher will bo in
stalled In one of the rooms of the Pleasant
school , where all the pupils will taken pre
paratory course of study , extending over a
course of several weeks.
"In addition to this teacher we shall recom
mend two moro teachers who nro each to
have charge of two rooms of the nrlmary
grade. Ono of these may bo nt the Cuss
school , for instance , and another at the Lake
school , but these details may bo
easily arranged. ISach of these teachers
will hare under her direction
two pupils from the normal school who will
eacli have charge of one of the rooms men
tioned. All their work will be under the di
rection of the normal teacher at tnat build
ing , so that the schools will not suffer from a
change of method in teaching. These nor
mal pupils will In that way get the actual
experience hi teaching which is so necessary.
After they liuvo been toai'hlng six or eight
weeks tlioy will bo returned to the normal
school and their places will ho taken by oth
ers.
- in uumuuii iu luaciiiiiguimcruio tnreci
supervision of these assistant normal leach-
el's , those who have had that experience will
bo required to do the work now performed bv
the t'.substltutc' ; teachcrs , that is , they will
bo called upon to take charge of a room dur
ing the absence of the regular teacher , thus
coming under the direction of the principal
of the building in which the room Is situated.
"This system of training teachers I\M \ been
in practical operation In St , Louis , Daven
port , Burlington and a number of other
places nnd has operated very satisfactorily.
Prof , Lewls of the high school says It has
been operated successfully in Davenport for
twenty years and , in fact , some of our very
best teachers conio from thut city ,
"Now as to the economy of the system : Wo
intend to detail ono of the regular teachers ,
who has had special training as n teacher in
ono of the best normal schools , as principal
of the normal department. She is now re-
ceivlngl,200 and nor salary will bo Increased
to $1,1)00. , Her phicu will bo llllod bv n
teacher at Jl,000. The two assistant teach
ers , who nro to hnvo charge or four roomi ,
will recivo $1,000 each , nud will take the
places of four teachers who now receive 8700
euch.
"Normal school pupils will receive nothing
for their services except the experience they
acquire. Wo shall bo able to dispense with
ono or both of the substitute teachers , who
now receive $000 per year , or 51,800. Their
places will bo supplied by the normal pupils.
By figurine this out it will bo seen that wo
get a llrst class training school for our chil
dren , which will cost the city nothing at
all. "
"Who will bo eligible for admission to this
notnml school ? "
"None will bo eligible except graduates of
the high school orsomeschoolof equal stand
ard. Persons who have not graduated from
our high school will bo required to pass nn
examination equal to the standard required
for such graduation. This places the uttind-
ard for admission to the normal ichool
much higher thou is required by n majority
of such .schools. The normal school in 1'cru ,
for Instnnce , admits pupils from our eighth
grade. The commlttoo which will hnvo
charge of the examination of candidates for
admission to the school , and also of graduates
from the school , will consist of the superin
tendent " of schools , the principal of the high
s"chooliind the principal of the normal school ,
"There will bo no danger of lowering the
standard of the city schools , but the tendency
will rather bo to elevate that standard. A
majority of our grade teachers now could
scarcely pass the examinations of our eighth
grade. "
"Will the schools be supplied entirely from
the normal school ! "
"Not necessarily. It does not follow that
bccauso wo instruct pupils in teaching we
must employ them as teachers , anymore tliun
we uro compelled to employ graduates from
the manual training department as me
chanics , but it will result in giving us n bet
ter class of homo talent from which to select
our touchers. "
"Will the pupils at the normal school be to
any expensof"
"None whatever. The books , etc. , will be
supplied by the board and there will bo no
charge for tuition. "
