Unfortunate Mistake Ojnolrnlng the Olifton

Mr. Martin Kxplulnrf Flow tlic Afl'.ifr
Cninu A liiu ) Uoncr.il Aot.otiH
ol the Hoard < > t Ildiicu-
lion I.nst Night.
After the Hoard of Education had shuffled
through a batch of routlno buslncm Isnt
I/ " nlRht , Mr. Undid Martin arose and c.illod
the attention of the educational congress to
the fact that the committee on bulttiltm"J mid
property had encountered a whlto elephant
In tlic bmemont nf the now HltohoocU school
ot Clifton Hill. HousUcdtho iidvlcoof the
entire bonrd as to the manner of dealing
with thn animal.
Mr. Martin explained that when the com
mittee recommended to too board the adop
tion of the Smead system of heating nud
vontllntloti for the HiivhcocU school It wai
fully undorttood that the extra brickwork
In the batomont necessary for the proper
puttltiR in of this system would cost not
more than $100.
Alndo n firoat Mistake.
The contract prlco of the Smcad furrmccs
nnd ventilators nnd complete upparatus for
tUohulldliiK , ho explained , was SJ.200. and
with the extra bride work the totul cost wnt
to have bcun about $1GOU. Uut a mistake or
mlsundoMtnndiiiK Imd occurred , by which.
the excavating nnd briclt work for thn dry
plosou , thut form a part of the
Smcad system , had not been prop
erly done , and to do the work
now as It should bo done would Incur an ad
ditional outlay of about ? T > 00. Mr. Martin
confessed frankly that the exponsivonuss of
the scheme had stiiKu'Oicil him , and ho as
chairman of the committee on buildings and
property did not fed like polnir on with the
matter without the consent of the b nru.
The hcatlntr and ventilating plant could
bo put in at the expense Ural
roportcd , but thut would make it necessary
to hnvo the closets outside of the building.
In order to h'we the Smoad system all com
plete ! n the building with dry closets in the
basement the extta expense would bo abso
lutely unavoidable.
"What shall wo do.ubout the innttori" Mr.
Martin askofl , and then sat ilown.
For about ono minute tlioro was a silence
both painful nnd uubtokon.
K.vli'ii
Dr. Gibus broke tuo spell bv asking Super
intendent Hamilton if ho hail llijurod the
matter caiofully mid It ho didn't think the
work could bo done for loss money.
Mr. Hamilton ropllod that ho had , and the
entire cost of the Smcud system brick work ,
excavating nnd all would foot up about
$3,120.
Mr. B.ibcock murmurca something about
stoves.
Dr. Gibbi thought the Smoad system nn
provomt'iit rather expensive , but the board
had started in to huvTi a lliorough system of
heating and ventilation nt the Hitchcock
site nnd It would bo unwise to turn back on
account of a few hundred dollars. It wus
rnthor nn unpleasant do o to swallow but the
bonrd , tie thought , hud batter tnko it nnd
liopo for the best.
Dr. Spalding claimed thnt nil this expense
Bhould not bo nttiibutod to the Smoad sys
tem. Ho held thnt it would have cost $1,000
to have built a cesspool nnd closets , nnJ with
this system Hint would bo savod.
Mr. Smyth delivered nn Impressive speech
upon " health and hygiene , saying In conclu
sion "thnt if the Smoad system saved ono
solitary little bov fiom the ravages of disrtno
incident to poorly ventilated rooms , it would
bo very cheap nt SJ , 100.
A resolution instructing the committee on
buildings and property to proceed with the
completion of tlio Smcad system In tho'
Hitchcock school vvns then introduced nud

Mr. HabcoQk Introduced a resolution to
Instruct the secretary to purchase some
slueU coal for the Mason , Walnut Hill ,
Uuiatm View and Webster schools tor the
purpose of ascertaining whether or not U
would bo mora economical than to continue
the USD of lump coal. The resolution provok
ed A Rplrltod discussion. Mr Mormon
thought it was usulC3 to imrchtHO slack
ccal fur hunting tlin school bid d 'ig $ until
It Imd bcun ascertained whulbpr nuch coal
could bo used In the furnaces of the school
buildings.
Mr , Martin thought It would bo all right to
experiment a little with slack coal. If
nioiioy could be saved uy heating the school
buildings with alack coal he was la fitvir uf
burning slack coal.
Mr , MeConnoll moved an amendment to
Iho resolution authorizing the committee on
heating and ventilation and buildings anti
property to make a imreful experiment wltn
' ' ; coil and to employ A comvetout engi
neer for this npcclal purpose at nn expense
of not mote than Si" .
" 1 don't want to see nny moro ojtporl-
tnfents , " shouted Mr. Morrison , rising sun-
dcnly. "Wo have experimented all the way
from Dan to Heorshoba. from Silicon plaster
to a Smcad system , and I am opposed to any
further experiments. Lot thu now board
experiment If it wants to , but lot us keen on
safe Ground. "
Air. Uubcock said that ; hU experiment
would cost hut a trifle , and might bo the
means of saving the board a great deal of
money. Ho paid that the school buildings in
Denver worn heated with slock coal , and ho
didn't see nny good reason why the same
might not bo done In Omahn.
Mr. McConnell's amendment to Mr. II ib-
coek's resolution was put uiyl carried and
the resolution was then adopted.

Hoard of Kiluuntlon Mcinbrrs Dis
cussing Suliool Bitco * tnili > tisly.
The article in Tiir MOIININO HEP. of yesterday
day , calling attention to the situation wltn
reference to the Ivcllom school site has sut
the members of the school board to thinking
and talking about school silos in general.
The disposition of the Izard school when
the Kollom school has baon completed Is
going to create considerable debuto iu the
board. When the board decided to build the
ICollom school It was argued that the Irard
school could bo entirely wiped out ns
soon as the Kellom school was opened.
The superintendent says now , how-
uvor , that if the pupils trom the
Izard school ar. ) all taken to the Kollom
with the pupils now In the I'nul or tbo old
Kollom buildlnc , they will completely 1111
the now building and then no relief can bo
afforded tbo Lake school. It is doubtful ,
therefore , iftholznrd school can bo aband
oned and sold.
Superintendent Fltzpatrlck thinks it would
bo advlsablo , In tuo near future , to open a
branch High school at the Kellom for pupils
In the north end of tbo city.
Spoaktng of eligible locations for school
| buildings yesterday a member of the board
said : "A mistake was made in purchasing
the Paul or ICollom school site. Tlio building
is now very awkwardly situated , being shut
off from the principal street that runs past
It , but I am in hopes that wo shall eventually
cot that strip of ground now owned by Mr.
Ilurbaugh nnd have a frontage ou Twcntv-
second street , as wo intended when the
ground was purchased. Since this matter
has been brought up , It is wnll to consider
some other school sites wtion now buildings
nro to bo oroctcd the coming summer There
s the Hickory site , for instance , at
Sixth and Hickory. Those lots are nearly
forty font above the grade. It is absuid and
extravagant , in my opinion , to attempt to
bring those lots to grado. 1 thinit the board
should dlsposo of those lots anil buy ground
more eligible for school purposes. This
matter of locating school buildings should bo
very carefully considered. The board has
made some orrora already and an honest
effort should bo made to avoid blunders in
the future. "

The grocery stock of Hiram F. Iteol , at 52.3
North Sixteenth street , wnlcb was placed in

the bcnolit of the creditors , was sold yester
day at assignee's sale. The stock was bought
bv'tho assignee at $4-50. !
"There were several grocers present and the
stock was thoroughly Inspected. It was the
opinion of all present that tbo stock sold for
all it was worth. Tuo goods held by the
creditors include several wngous , teams and
other appurtenances belonging to the busi
ness. Some of the wagons have boon sold
and others will bo disposed of soon , The

A Colorado stockman y/hq was at the stock
anli yostcrday saidfj iVo i occasionally
tear persons whu are ln > n pqHtlon to talk In *
ulligontiy on the subject express the opinion
hat n great beef shortage will occur In this
country within a few years , Various reasons
nru given for this opinion , end among them
s the allegation that -tho discouragement
Utcndim ; beet producing' ' Uio last few
veurs has driven a great many out
of the business and 1m so ill henrtunod them
hat they aio not liable tp po Into it again
oven with great cncouragqinent , that
ranching has seen IU best days and will
lover bo the rival of farm beef growing
vhlch it once was ; that our population ts
stoadllv Increasing and N sure to require n
great many more cattle each year than the
ouo preceding , and that thu possibilities mid
irooabllltics of our export trade are simply
mmonso.
"These things nro true enough. But til the
same time It must bo remembered that the
\murlcon pcoplo nro very quick to supply a
narked need In any of our markets , and that
n variety of other kinds of meats have for
some years boon substituted for beef.
"I have fnlth In thu future of
) aof cattle , and believe that the beef
grower who keeps his head , supplies him
self with good stock , produces as
economically us possible , mid strikes
'or the upper rounds of the market , Is cer
tain to make mono. ; in the. couno of limo. In
: aso of any great shortage , which some pro-
liet , any kind of cattle , good , bud or Indif
ferent , will be certain to make money lu the
'uturo of which they talk.
' But the only safe plan for the cattle
nlsor Is to prepare for the production of
something whoso quality will recommend
my whore , and to cct his process doivn to n
olnt where beef can bo made with a mini
mum of expenditure. Such feeders will at
east bo comparatively independent of the
'uturo developments of tne business. "
