BUSY BOARD OF EDUCATION
Election of Teachers ami Transaction of
Other Important Business.
SECRECY STALKS INTO THE SESSION
Compromise on the Award of Contracts
1'rlvnte Muininor Scliooln Kloollo" of
I'rlnolimtft DofrrreiJ Proceedings
of HID Mcollitff In full.
The anticipation of proceedings upon the
election of teachers for the forthcoming
year brought out the best attendance of the
season nt the adjourned mooting of the
Board of Education last evening. AH the
members except C. E. Babcock wcro pres
ent.
ent.The
The preliminary business transacted con
sisted largely hi the reception of applications
for Janltorsiiips and the , presentation of
claims , all of which were rof'-rrcd to the ap
propriate committees. Beverly and Wooloy
reported that the ventilating shafts and
Jambs In the Ilartman school building were
out of plumb and asked that the responsi
bility bo fixed by the toard. The matter
was referred to ,1. A. Latcnscr , the architect ,
with power to act.
The committee on High school was In
structed to Investigate any changes deemed
advisable In the eourso of study and man
agement of that Institution and to recom
mend the same to the board for action ,
Several applications were made for the
use of rooms nnd apparatus for conducting
private summer schools , and the question
was llnnlly adjusted by referring them all to
the committee uu buildings and property and
the superintendent , with power lo act. A
similar disposition was made of a request of
the Omaha Scicnttlio association for the use
of ono of the unfurnished rooms in the
fourth story of' the High school building
for the temporary location of Its collections.
Upon recommendation of the committee on
claims , the following sums were ordered
p.ild : Fuller & Warren Heating and Venti
lating company , $1,1-13 ; Shane & Jackson ,
brick work , $ .iU4 ! ; Dewey & Stone , furnish
ing board rooms , fcVJOS : Alee & Pcnfold com
pany , sundries , $4S , The claim ot the John
son Electric Service company for its balance
of $215 was deferred.
Incvltt.l Ulscustlnn of llont.
The inevitable discussion upon the ques
tion of heating and ventilating was precipi
tated early in the evening by n resolution of
fered by Mr. Elgutter , that all bids for such
supplies for tlio Long annex and the Hickory
building bo rejected. This motion was
promptly voted down , but the issue could not
be thus easily suppressed. A second storm
was raised when Mr. Coryell moved the
adoption of the following resolution :
Resolved , That the Smead Heating and
Ventilation system with the flushing closets
bo adopted by this board for the Long school
building ntJ,030 , and the Fuller ana War
ren system 'with Hushing closets ami the
Holbrook Syphon system for ventilation at u
cost of $ ,1)00 ) , bo adopted for the Hickory
building.
This , Air. Coryell claimed , would bo a fair
compromise between the members who favored -
vored different systems of heating and venti
lation , it would enable the construction of
tlio buildings to proceed , so ho claimed. An
animated discussion was participated in by
Messrs. Morrison , Elgutter , Jayno , KnodoU ,
Smyth , Uuryenaud Powell.
Ou ono side it was contended that this
was a compromise , that it was the only way
in which work on tlio buildings could be
hastened this year. The opposition was
based ou the assertion that only ono system
could bo the best , that neither of these sys
tems would succeed without mechanical con
trivances for drawing off the foul ulr and
that the Smead company was doing the same
work in other cities at greatly reduced
prices.
After the addition of an amending clause ,
providing that the plans and specifications
bp made agreeable to the board and under
direction of the architect , the resolution
was adopted by a vote of 8 to II ; Babcook ,
Elgutter , Pierson , Morrison , Smyth and
Powell comprising the negative.
J ! ortloii of 'I'ciiuliorfl.

went into executive session to proceed to

Opinions of un Old Timer.
Seth Uullock , ono of tfto best known men
f the northwest , is In the city. His prime
raotivo for coming to .Omaha is to suporln-
cnd the sampling and assaying of a quun-
Ity of Icad-sHver-gold ore from the Galena
district of the Black Hills of South Dakota
VIr. Bullock is interested In numerous prop
ortics in that section , and says his only fears
low nro that tlio recent decision' the
ndia government in regard to the coinage
of the white metal will have such n do-
iressing effect upon the market as to make
silver mining , no matter how rich the vein
natter may bo , unprofitable in the extreme.
While hero Mr. Bullock will place Iu the
liauds of an Omaha publishing house
ihe manuscript of a book which will
Mar the title , "Twenty Years in the
Territories. " It subject matter will toucli
on the doings of the vigilanls of Montana ,
the horse thieves of Nebraska and the stugt
robbers of the Black Hills. Mr. Bullock as
i peace oflicer in all throe of the territories
at that time is gilt-edged , and as ho has
n happy way of telling an anecdote , n gooc
use of the English language and a pleasing
way of stringing adjectives together , am
withal , his narratives being of a kind or
autobiographical character and the atmos
ihero of truth surrounding them all , will
liavo of more than passing interest to the
old timers of Omnlia und Nebraska who
were associated with Seth in the early days
of the state and many of whom greeted him
effusively yesterday.

A Family Itn.v.
Ferdinand Snitzious is again under arrest.
This time ho is charged with committing an
assault upon Will Chandlor,1ils step-son.
Snitzious and Ills wife have had several
separations on account of Mrs. Snllzlous'
children , all of whom are grown up. Only a
few weeks ago Snitzious and his wife hud a
row , when Snitzious smashed up some furni
ture and was fined in the police court for his
conduct. They agreed to separate nn l have
not been living tozother since. Sunday even
ing Snilzlous met his wife nt the German cele
bration nnd the old spark of love was rekin
dled , They loft the ball nnd took a trip to
Courtltind beach , where in the moonlight
both promised to again love , respect and
protect the other. Kcturnlng to the ball
Will Chandler , u stop-son , who bus little erne
no respect fo > - Snitzious , knocked all the ar
rangements the old counlo hud made sky
high. Snitzious started to go home with his
wife , but discovering that ho was being fol
lowed by Chandler , changed his mind nnd
went back to the hall. On the platform at
the door ho was mot by Chandler. SniUious
says that Chandler assaulted him first , and
Chandler says that Snitzious slipped up be
hind him and struck him with u sandbag. At
any ruto Chandler has n badly skinned head ,
and he will prosecute Snitzious for the as
sault.
After the row was over Snitzious wont
homo unit wont to bed. Chandler's sister
went to the police station and succeeded In
getting Captain Austin to go and rouse
Snitzious from his slumbers und lock him
up , although no warrant was issued. Thu
charge on the Jail book is "assault with In
tent to kill , " but is not likely that Snitzious
will bo tried for anything but slmploassault.
The case Is sot for Wednesday morning nt 0

at Sen.
Nothing of special Interest occurred
until the no.xt morning , says Ilurpor'a
Weekly , when Captain tlowlson , who
was in uhnrjro of the Hoard of Inspection ,
and Captain ICcmpIT , commander of the
Monterey , dotoriuinod to iiro the UK
fjiins with the ship under way , instead
of running in to an anchorage , as hud
been planned.
When the ordorf ) were given to boat
to qimrtura it may bo Imagined that the
moment was an exciting if not an
anxious one. "L5lg Botsy'1 and "Sister
Alice , " the twolvo-inch rifles on the for
ward tin-rot , nro the heaviest guns in
service nml neither had cvor boon llrbd
outside the proving grounds , just after
their completion. Their dlschnrgo from
on shipboard was purely experimental
and therefore attended with some
apprehension and intense interest.
The ton-inch guns in the after
turret were fired lirst , one with a
charge of 200 pounds of powder and a
150-nound projectile , and the other with
a full charge of 25J ! pounds of powder
and a projectile of the same weight ,
und everything had passed otT perfectly ,
so the order was given to load "Big
Betsy. " The charge of fl.15 pounds of
powder and an 8'IO-puund tmoll were fed
to the marine monster , and then , while
everybody held his breath. Lieutenant
Nicholson , the ordnance ollicur of the
Monterey , pulled the lanyard , and the
deed was dono. There was a inightv
roar and a flash of llaino , and the sliofl
went hurtling westward , ricochetting
otue and again until it sank in the wa
ters of the ocean. But where was the
wreck of matter and the crush of worlds
that was to accompany the discharge ?
Tliero dimply was none. The' entire
recoil of the gun , ilred with a full serv
ice charge , was only forty-one and a
half inches , and there was not a piece of
glass or crockery broken on the vessel ,
nor was a man injured or stunned in any
way by the concussion. Another predic
tion hud gone by the board , and "Big
Betsy's" quality as a lady of force and
lisorotion been fully established.

"I was pounding my oar pretty lively
Jiio night in u Texurkana hotel , " said iv
Texas man to a. St. Louis Globo-Domo-

" -What is it ? ' " I asked.
"Boss:1 : said the darky , "is you do

words. Ho tackled the next door , and I
heard him ask again :
' 'Buss , is you do man what waii'.s to
go on do - o'clock train to Big Sandy ? '
"Tho answer was terrific. The darky
was awed. For about live minutes ho
was still , as if absorbed in thought.
Then I hoard him say to himself iii tin
argumentative tone :
" 'Uar'ssomo 'mi in dis hull what , wauls

"Ho went down the line repeating the
performance at seven doors hoforo ho
reached the man who wanted to go 'on

An Illinois man thought ho could
parallel this evidence of sagacity. Ho
said :
"I stopped one night in the hotel at
Shawncotown , and left a 'sure call' for
the boat which was expected along
about a. m. I went to bed and Hlept
peacefully until the racket at the door
