The plan of the Institution as proposed comprised n collegiate school , business college , training school for teachcru , conservatory of music , fine art school and kindergarten training.

Thu president stated that he had written to the association that It would be a year before the district could get n new High school building erected and that he thought It doubtful If the plan suggested would bo feasible.

Ho also reported that next Thursday being Washington's ) birthday there would be no school , and that the proceeding day would bo taken up with appropriate exorcises and celebrated us "Hag day. " H was decided by the board not to have school on Friday of this week. The request of the Christian church for the use of the Washington avenue school house on Friday evenings for the free night school was rejected by a vote of 3 to : i. Superintendent Sawyer reported that the rules of the school board denied admittance to any pupil until thlrty-flvo days had elapsed after the Inception of the last case of measles In the family to which ho be longed , while the rule of the Hoard of Health requited only twenty-one days. The rule of the school board was amended so as to conform with that of the Board of Health. The superintendent also brought up the subject of allowing pupils to be excused from any recitations roo.ulre.d by the board , on the request of their parents , and he was In structed to see that the schedule of studies was to be followed strictly by all pupils alike , Superintendent Field alone voting against It. The matter of vaccination was discussed , and although the members of the board did not think there was any particular danger of the smallpox breaking out , still they thought it well to be on the safe side , and Instructed the superintendent to see that the instruc tions of the Hoard of Health were carried out. County Treasurer Uoed came In for a gener ous roasting for selling the school houses of the city for taxes. On account of the lack of funds the board had to forego the pleasure of paying its taxes and the treasurer promptly sold the property. It coat the board a cool $500 to redeem It , Considerable warmth was displayed by tne members last night lu comparing his eagerness to do his duty In selling the school property with his eagerness not to run any risks In uelllng the motor company's cars. Jt Is claimed that the treasurer Is prohibited by law from sell ing school property for tuxes , and there was considerable talk of warming his jacket for It , but when It was found that the penalty had been paid and the tax matter setttled up It was decided to let bygones bo bygones. A petition was presented bearing fifty signatures of citizens who wanted a new High school built , and requesting the board to submit a proposition to the voters at the coming election for the levy of a sufllclent tax to' pay the cost thereof. This matter will he considered at a meeting of the com mittee of the whole next Thursday evening. Itllcy & Slicrnidcn'H Closing Out Siilo.

TO PAY MACLEOD'S LAWYER. Dr. Iiirvoi , Trli'H In ( Set the lliinnl of i : < | imllmtl < m to Do It. The ghost of the Maclcod Investigation Imparted a sulphuric lingo to the atmosphere at the regular nice Urn : of the Hoard of I'd- ucallon last evening. The sp'cctor was resurrected by Dr. Durycn , who offered the following resolution : Resolved , Thnt the committee on claims be KMiuenioii tu loiiMUK-r wlietner H mny nppL-ar tn bo ( Miultulilo on the part of tbu board tu nfford relief tu Samuel Mucleoil In thu burden of costn intending thu Inves tigation of bis acts authorized , upon bla request , by the board. The resolution was accompanied by a bill from Attorney Churchill Indicating Mr. Mac- Icod's Indebtedness to him to the extent of $200 for legal services rendered In connec tion with the investigation. In urging the adoption of the resolution Dr. Durycu said that ho had Introduced the resolution for the purposeof maintaining a principle. Ho wished the board to go on record In a manner that would show the employes of the board that they would be fairly and considerately dealt with. If Mr. Maclcod had been found guilty of the charges made against him ho would have considered that the expense was a part of his discipline , but the board had decided that although some of the charge's were well founded they were not serious enough to displace the superintendent of buildings from his ofllclal position , and he wished the board to seriously consider whether It would not bo oqultahla to recompense Mr. Maclcod for the expense which the Investigation had entailed. A large number of the employes of the board were women and ho wished them to know that the board was ready to protect their reputations. Mr. Hurgess referred rather sarcastically to what the last speaker had alluded to as a "vindication. " When the question of Macleod's -'Ullt was under consideration the vote stood seven for and seven against , and ho did not consider that much of a \ Indica tion. Ho was willing to drop the -nutter where It was , but If members were de termined to press the matter there would be trouble right away. VOTED IT DOWN. Mr. Lowe remarked that if Mr. Maclcod had any valid claim against the board It should come before the commltteo on claims In that form , and ho was opposed to the reso lution. 1'Ierson moved to lay the resolution on the table nnd the motion prevailed , Duryea , Thomas and Knodcll voting In the negative. A communication from Congressman Mercer thanking the board for Its recent letter of thanks for services conferred In securing the services of a military instruc tor for the High sshool was read and placed on flic. A resolution by-Mr. Lowe to purchase steam coal for the Omaha View school brought up the differences of , opinion among the mem bers on the coal question , and after a pro longed debate It was disposed of by a refer ence to the committee on buildings and prop erty. erty.On On recommendation of the committee the services of the assistant to the custodian at the supply house were ordered dispensed with. The salary of the teacher In the un graded school was fixed at $90 a month until the end of the present term and that of the clerk to the secretary of the board was made $70 per month , to date from February 1. The contract for lumber for 1891 was let to George A. Hoagland on recommendation of the committee on supplies. The bill of the Smeud company for $1,000 for heating and ventilating the Kcllom school , which has been hanging fire for over a year , was allowed. A number of estimates on school contracts were allowed and a number of bids were opened and referred to various committees for Investigation. Among the bills referred were those for grading the Izard school site , ventilating the toilet rooms at ttie Central school , furnishing wlro mats , constructing blackboards and -for moving old buildings. The board adjourned until Saturday night. e LOST HER. JEWELRY. TlilcvfH Talio Diamonds from Miss Minuet of the "In OliI Ki'iitiirUy" Company. Miss Minuet of the "In Old Kentucky" com pany reports that thieves have stolen from her three valuable rings. Ono was set with a diamond valued at $200 , another with a diamond worth $175 and another with a ruby set with diamonds of the value prob ably of $100. The company arrived In this city Sunday and quartered at the Hotel Barker and It is thought that it was at the hotel that the rings were stolen or lost. Miss Mlnnet was seen at the theater last night and asked concerning her loss. She was feeling very dejected about It and is positive the rings were taken from her room. She said : "Wo arrived In the city and registered at the Barker. I was assigned .to room 1-10 and the company played for the first tlmo Sunday night. Then I had the rings and were them during the evening ; this I am sure pf. After the theater I did not tuko a carriage , but walked to the hotel with othro members of our company. I retired at once , as is my custom , took my earrings and wrapping them up In paper , placed them on the bureau , and then 1 wrapped the rings up In a handkerchief and placed them by the earrings , and my watch also , Monday morning I got up about 10 nnd went to the bath room. I was not gone over five or ten minutes at the most and did not see anyone ono about the hall when I loft. I prepared for dinner and when ready to wear my Jew elry I looked for It where I had placed It the night previous. My earrings were there and my watch , In the exact spot where I had left them , but when I looked for the rings they wcro gene , and also the handkerchief that I had placed them In. I was nearly crazy for a momentbut made a careful search of all my effects In the hope that I might have been mistaken and mislaid them , but without result. Then I reported my loss to the hotel authorities and they also made/ careful Investigation. This was without result and then I reported the loss to the police. I mn very much Indebted to the hotel people for their painstaking efforts In my behalf. It Is certainly the strangest thing I have ever experienced. Why they did not take my earrings , which they could have done without any more trouble than It took to got the rings , is a mystery. No , I have not the slightest Idea who took the Jewelry , but I am sure it was stolen from my room at the hotel. The only person that was In the room was an old colored lady for my laundry and I was there all the tlmo she was , and she was not on the sldo of the room where the rings wore , 83 I am sure she did not take thorn. The loss Is very great to mo and I feel It severely. " All the hotel attaches wcro closely questioned by the police , but not the slightest clew could be obtained. . .i.sffiro VOXTIXVH ( i OMAHA.

The legend , according to the Nouvelle Re vue , runs that Mary Magdalene came from Judea In a small boat with Lazarus , Martha , the two Marys and Salome , bringing with them the body of St. Anne , the head of St. James the Less and a few wee bones of the Innocents massacred by King Herod. Hut from early ages this history has been dis puted , and the Ahbo Duchesne , ono of the most erudite writers on the early Christian saints and martyrs , considers that the relics of Mary Magdalene were probably sent from Constantinople about the seventh century. A Greek breviary , however , speaks of the saint as having died nt Kphesus. THE GROWLER GOING 'ROUND. Hushing a Deiiihvooit lln-r Can Through tlio Country. "Tho growler , " an debt quart battered tin pall that lias lost ! Its cover , and which Is making a tour through , thb land via tno dif ferent express companies , is resting for a few days in tlio ofllco of the Adams Express company at Now lijochcllc , says the Now York Sun. The growler \vas started from Deadwood , S. D. , some time last sprint : , bill the exact date cannot bo loarncd. A tag was attached to it , on whjch was written : From Deadwood , S.JJ. 0n a trip around the circle ; treat It well. ' ' This tag Is still attnciioa to the pail. It Is supposed that it made tho. llrst jump to Chicago cage over the Burlington route , for a Bur lington mark is stamped on the tag and dated Chicago. . After. vistliifc'ov6u.30U ( ! towns and cities in .many status tlio old tin pail is decora ted with nearly t00 ! tags , photographs and curious things , amonc which is n toy rubber dog labeled growler. On these tags is a great deal of poetry on the subject of growlers and tno liquor question in general. From Chicago the growler came straight to Jersey City , where it was tagged "O. K. " and sent to the Adams Express company's ofllceac Forty-eighth street and Lexington avenue , Now York City. At that oflico it was tagged : No price to (111 ( yon with , as It Is the day before - fore pay day ; try Now Haven , An autograph photograph of Governor Greenbalge of Massachusetts is attached to the pail , on the back of which is written under date of Florence , Mass. , December - 1893 : My flno old growler , you nro welcome hero ; Cumo down to Ciioney'biind I'll Jill you with beer , Wo Just got the license for yonr.solf's sake.

It then went to Nortliaminon , Mass. , and under the verse given above iswritten : Never mind Cooney's , my growler so fine , Come up on the hut und I'll III ! yon with wine , Then I'll send around to the rest of the crowd. And give you a racket that will boat Mr. Dowd. Next to this photograph is a blue tag , on which a temperance express agent of CJrcon- Held , Mass. , has written : Tlio growler Isn't nlono In bolnc out of work , but tlio less It Is worked thu butter , hut the growler unward growl , And never .slop tu ralso a howl , Duy or iilxlir. People hero In ( jreonlljld can afford to lot It pass , bociiiiio they are all right. Thanksgiving lti'J3 , Next to the blue tag Is a white champagne label and cork. The pall itself Is dented with Initials until it looks as though it hud been used us a mnric for shotguns. The agent send it on to Mm next station. It really gives a little consolation In towns like this , where one can get no beer , To see u growler even pass the Btatlon , And such a growler HH we thus have here , Ono which lias traveled over half the na tion . And passed through many hands , It would appear. But It would give us still a greater nleasuro it tneru wen ) but HOIIIU luser In tlio measure. Leomlnster , Mass. , gave it the following send-off : We've got n thousand shirt clrls here , Whom when you conic to III ! with beer , This can's HO small all hope Is gone , So like the rest we send It on.
