.
; . . Ilenlled for operating expenses , independent

bonded 'IHlebtellness. ' The resolution was
allcpted , and lie board will hold a special

According to a resolution alTered by Mr.

: Dy another resolution the committee on

port , Llncolw and Train ' scIfobls . there being
. an apparent discrepancy between the salaries
paId these principals and the salaries palll to
. other principals having charge of the same
number of rooms.
: . . WANTS DIFFERENT REVENUE.
.
.I The board adopted the following resolu- '
: , ( ion . offered by Mr. Lowe : ,
t \Vherea/l , The public school interests or ;
11 ' " .thQ'stnte 'n'e "Paramount to 'nny other .dn- .

, manly and largely dependent upon reve-
" , \ nlle' derlve from police lines and liquor
f Ieenses , the inadequacy of which pource
1 : or revenue hall been fully demonstrated In
c . - the past two years ; and
: L ' . \Vhereas We believe the time Is at hand
r when .the- people should determine whether
. . the public school system shall longer be

of revenue and Its elllclency lie thereby Im-
; - palrell' therefore
- Resolyed 'l'hat It Is the sense of the
: Board of Education of the school district or
1 Omaha that the coming legIslature lie
. - . , called upon to submit to n vote of the peo-
. I , plo n proposition to amend the constitution
" . of the stnto so ns to divert said tines und
f > . lIcenses to polIce 01' other funds.
, , CAUTION IN ECONOMIZING.
i' Superintendent Marble submitted a lengthy
: ; . . . : * report. lIy way or Introduction ho referred
. : ; . , . feelingly to lie recent death or his daughter
IV t S and the resolutions of sympathy adopted by
. ' . 1.\ ; t'- the board His report was a general lIls-
cUlIslon or the school situation In closing
; ho snlll :
# , "In comparison with most other cities of
4
; . ; . my acquaintance , it appears to mo that the ,
( : citizens Of Omaha have enjoyed benefits in'
- their excellent schoos : of which they have
felt the burden very lIghtly It has cost
money to elevate the schools thus but the
, .method of raising the revenue has relieved !
$ r the taxpayera This standard or excellence
.
: . cannot be maintained without continued ex-
( . . pendltures , and the stringency of the times (
L will of necessity make the burden seem
. , great.
u 1\ "The school year has already been reduced
" . one-tenth. mailing It necessary to crowd the
worlt of ten months Into nine , allli Imposing (
' I extra work emu teachers and liupils
S . "Arter nil , the excellence of the schools
In the last analysis Is due to the teachers
Superintendents may be useful In suggest-
hog and directing ; boards or e.lucatlon render
. : elllclent all In all that pertains to manage-
ment anti surroundings , but the teacher In
contact with the Individual \ child -1s the
: cmclent force In education , and the board
' . - send superintendent 110 their ( best work when
? they becuro a good corps or teachers In
. ' order to do their best work these teachers
L . must lossol8 enthusiasm , ambition , a tine
\ : esprit Iln corps. The shortening of the
' ' ( school year : , anti after that the reduction or
salaries , ns has been suggested , would
t. ; ? , , strike n. . fatal bow at our schools , It seems
to me.
L "Again , hero are various Improvements
, Introduced here In recent years , such as
.t' iave ! been olloptell In all Ilrogressive communities -
, " munities , tIme kindergarten : , music drawing
manual training , physical cullure ( , ete. . and

- o our I18rtlcnlar sphere and vastly wider , nn
' influence which there Is not hue hero to

. comparison with the total expense of the
, schools , and they give tone and character
: . to the educatIon of the cIty . It woulll be
t . another fatal blow to our schools to elimInate -
- - Inate anyone of them .
L "Now , there Is danger , II seems to me .
: that In the stress of the ( times great harm
. . may bo done by a too sudden spasm of
economy and the work of many year ! may
be destroyed In a single year We may
t lose In one year what It will take hair a

Men from Minnesota ' Lookhmmg ! VII Some
Uccorll8 to'VIO In Court.
Interested parties have been In ( lic city
the ( past week securIng evidence to bei , used
In the breach or promise sulL of 1\lrs. Stein
against Clarence Saulspaugh at Manka ,
1\Ilnn. The suit Is bringing some racy developments -
velopments to light. Doth or these parties
'
were resillmts of Omaha In 188S. Mrs.
Stein was then lie wife of a man named
McNamara. She went out Into society for ' a
time , but soon stories began floating around
which caused the doors or time polite world
to become - closed against her. She then ( met I
Saulspaugh , who was quite dashing young '
man In those palnuy days , and for him she
forsook her husbamid , who afterwnrds secured
a dl\'orce. She drifted down In the social
vortex , nnlIt Is , alleged that she was on
intimate terms vlth men about town. Then
she and Saulsp ugh left Omaha and went to
Minnesota : , where he afterwards fell heir to
a large fortune ! including a large hotel. He
ran the ! ! hotel and 1\Irs. Stein was Installed
as housekeeper. They went out Into so-
ciety , and rumor had It that they would get
married. But occasionally soma of her
former friends and acquaintances would stop
at the ( hotel , and knowing the woman's history -
tory , made remarks which caused Sauls-
p : ugh's relatives to oppose any union with
the woman. After getting control of his
fortune the young rounder concluded to' settle
down , and became engaged to an estimable
young lady of Mankato. As soon a-s Mrs. : .
Stein heard of this she commenced breach ,
of promise proceedings for the 8uln.or' $60.9.00. '
Tim case Is now on trial , and the visitors to
Omaha arc looking up the woman's record
while she was a resident of this clly.
