In the absence ot City Attorney Conncll , Acting City Attorney Cornish sent the follow- ng letter to Mayor Bemli In response to a equest for Information as to the courco pro- crlbed by law for the mayor In the emer gency presented by the Ilolln defalcation : OMAHA , Juno 27 , 1893. Gerge P. Bern's , layer , City : Dear Sir In response to request or Information as to ycur legal duty In ho matter of Henry Bolln , city treasurer , icrmlt me to state : Section 99 of the charter provides that the reasurer shall keep all money In his hanJs belonging to the city or school district sep arate and distinct from his own moneys , and irohlblts him from using any euch mcney or any warrants or other te.uritl's In hh cus- ody or receiving any Interest thereon lor his own use or benefit , and provides further that any violation of said provision thill subjjct Bald treasurer to Immediate removal from cfilcc by the city council , which Is authorized o declare such ofilce vacant , and the miyor hereafter , with the consent of the city coun cil , shall appoint a successor. By this pro vision the city council alone can declare an office vacant. Uy section 172 of the charter power to re move any office holder from office for good and sufficient cause Is conferred upon the dls- trlct court. In such case the mayor must make and file with the clerk ot said court proper charges and specifications against the : fficer sought to bo removed , alleging that ho Is guilty of malfeasance or mlsfcsanco In such office , or that he Is Incompetent or neg- ects his duties , or that for any other good and sufficient cause stated ho shall bo re moved from his office. On the filing of such charges a writ Is Issue ; ] out of eald court , re- .urnablo not more than ten days after the service thereof , and If good and sufficient reason Is shown the court will remove such officer from his said office. During the pen dency of such proceedings the court may by order suspend the officer from the duties of ils office. Mr. Bolln has rendered unnecessary any such proceedings by tendering his resignation , which has been accepted by the council. Until a successor Is appointed , confirmed and qualified , Mr. Dolin and his bondsmen will jo liable for the custody and eafo keeping of ; he city's money. Any talk In .the press or upon the streets to the effect that the bonds men of Mr. Bolln are released from all fur- : her liability on their bend from the tlmo Mr. Bolln tendered his resignation and it was accepted Is Ill-advised and not the law. Permit me to state further that powers conferred upon a mayor and penalties pro vided by law are Intended to subserve a use ful purpose and not as a means of persecu tion. That Mr. Bolln has violated the law s beyond question. That the law ought to je rigidly enforced by n city treasurer Is also beyond question. It should also be remem bered that Mr. Bolln has lived In this city for thirty years ; that up to two months ago no man had a better reputation for Integrity than he , and no official had a better record In the performance of his official duties than Mr. Bolln. If a reputation I ? to avail any thing , It ought to be In circumstances like the present. Now , he has lost his reputation , his record In office during several terms past Is sullied , his property Is all turned over to his tiondrmen , his means of livelihood are sud denly cut off , and his sufferings arc such as but few endure. To attempt further punish ment would look more like persecution than the performance of a duty. During your term of office you have estab lished a reputation of hewing close to the line of right regardless of political machina tion , and therefore , of all men , you should endeavor to disregard the harangue In the city council and the paragraphs In the news > - papers , all of which are so evidently Intended to work up sentiment favorable to various political movements this coining fall. To you , fair-minded as you are , the misfortunes of one man are not to be used to achieve selfish political ends ot others. In the caw of Henry Bolin there are a number of ex tenuating circumstances. There Is no evi dence thus far that any record has been mutilated or falsified In the least. The shortage ot that office appeared In the first hour of the Investigation the same as after a thorough and complete Investigation. There was no attempt to cover or hide a single act. Had Mr. Bolln Intended to bteal there would have been attempts to cover and conceal , all of which are locking In this case. Had such been his Intention there Is no reason why his shortage should not have gone up Into the hundreds ot thousands Instead of as It is. It Is now evident that not only the city will not lose a dollar , but even Mr. nolln's bonds men are not likely to lose a dollar In this matter. The newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding , I have never received an ad vancement on my salary , but It was simply because I never needed It. Had I been In need of a temporary advancement on my salary , which would be due the following month. Henry Bolln could have accomodatcd me without the least danger of loss to any person , because my salary would be forth coming to pay the debt , and In this , he would have but followed a custom that has been In vogue as long as the oldest office holder can remember In this city. This cuttom Is wrong In a business line , and I believe It fortunate for the city that the present pub licity given to It will stop It In the future. Prior to Mr. Dolln's administration the law was just as severe against the city treasurer using the money of the city to make a profit to himself thereby as at present. Yet In the previous election , wherein John Rush am Mr. McShane were contestants , when thi salary of this ofilce was only $1,400 , we hoc the most spirited city election 03 between those two contestants that wo have ever had. Both of them were as honorable men as could be found In the city of Omaha both ot them gentlemen capable if com- mandlng high salaries and making large money In the usual business , and yet In all probability the campaign expenses o either ot the parties amounted to more than their salary , and the contest was 1'ioked upor by people of this city as a bank fight lathei than a polltlclal contest. Every person whc knew anything , knew that the city treasure ! who was elected would loan the city's monej to the banks and would himself obtain the Interest thereon. Because It was known tha every treasurer In the state was doing tht same thing , the law was changed allowlnp money to bo loaned by the city direct In stead of giving this emolument to the office holder. Supposing under the old regime c bank failed , the treasurer would have beet an embezzler ; but are we going to condemr all of the honorable men who have held office as treasurer in this state ? What Is tht difference between their offense and the of tense of Mr. Bolln ? Simply they hav < loaned money to parties ( banks ) who repali the money. Therefore the city lost no monej In those cases. But the city loses no monej In this case and the violation ot the IAV\ Is no greater. When Alexander Hamlltor was killed , Aaron Burr became an outcast and the formerly honorable custom of dueling ceased to be honorable in this country. Tin prcbcnt disclosure will cam a stain upor Mr. Bolln's reputation for all time to come It Is to bo hoped that these Illegal methods which have been In vogue will cease. W ( do not condemn Alexander Hamilton be cause dueling was such an established CUB , torn that to refuse to engage therein would In his opinion , have brought dishonor upot him. Should Henry Bolln be so serlousl ) condemned for doing that which had beer customary before him , when every act o his since the disclosure has been of an honor able man , as ho was always thought to bl before that time ? The city loses no monej and Is a gainer In having an obnoxloui custom terminated henceforth. " In my opinion you ought not to be a part ; to a scheme to make political capital ou of the misfortune of a poor man. Your duly In my opinion , Is to appoint a treasurer ti succeed Bolln. It not confirmed , to appoln another. You are responsible for the char acter of your appointees , the city council to their acts In confirming or rejecting. Ver ' reupcctfully , n. J.

Some days ago a new fraternal order was ntroduced Into this city , called the German rder of the Harugarl. This society has quite a membership , mostly In the eastern states. Up till now Chicago was the terminus of the order's work In the west. Some prominent lermans of Omaha , knowing what good the larugarl order hag done during the long 'ears of Its existence , made preparations to lave also a branch In this city and Induced ho grand treasurer of the order , Mr. Philip Kochler , who resides In the Windy City , to como hero and start the good work , which was done. "Omaha lodge of the German Order ot the Harugarl No. 629" sprang Into existence with about forty mem bers. The following officers were elected : O. B. , Charles Krelle ; U. B. , Charles King ; secretary , Emll Tchan ; treasurer , Fritz Krelle ; states-deputy , Gottlieb Kern. The notto of the new lodge Is "Friendship , Love and Humanity. " The meetings will bo held weekly at Schacffer's hall , Thirteenth and ilarney streets. Sunday next the members of the Omaha Saengcrbund and their families will take an outing. The picnic place has not been de- clJcd upon. The last picnic1 of the LleJerkranz was a success In every particular. The same can jo said In regard to the picnic of the ( Ger man ) Tcutonla lodge , Order of the World. There Is a society In the north of the city , called Vcreln Gemuethllchkelt , which Is ilghly estimated for the excellent ar rangements of all Its entertainments. Prominent people of the north s'de are In the management of that society , among them Messrs. Storz , Bauer , Schukcrt and others. The vereln has Thide arrangements for a picnic , to bo held Sunday , July 7 , on the farm of Mr. Hccli. near the city limits. Prof. Hans Albert has gone to southern California , combining a business w.th a p eis- uro trip. Ho will return to Omaha about the end of August. The Mlllird Turnvcreln celebrated last Sun day Its second anniversary and re ceived at the same time a beautiful silk Hag , presented by the women of Mlllard. The feast attracted qulto a crowd and the program was rendered In a very creJltablc manner. With a grand ball the celebration found Its closing.

Trinity School's lHotilo rrocoilod by Trl- UtnphnnOiTbar by Motor. When the Sundar < * ohool of Trinity Metho dist church went on ! UP annual picnic yester day afternoon the'pupils ; ' and teachers en- loyed one pleasure'norcr before had on such an occasion , at least In this part of the country. That was being hauled to their destination by the power of onn of the strong est electric currents-that hns ever moved the wheels of a motor In Omaha. For a year the Council Bluffs- bridge line has had on trial one of the mammoth motors being turned out by an eastern company , and while the motor has given perfect satisfaction , It was determined to put It to the supreme test. It , therefore , headed the train of six open cars , brought from over the river , to carry the school to the Driving park. The load was taken on In the northern part of the city. The whole train was abundantly de corated with flags , fully fifty piss-angers were in each car , nil the boys , and many of the girls , had tin horns , and as the train came down Sixteenth street , many of the people believed at first that they had forgotten to watch the bill potter and that a circus had come to town without their knowledge. The streets were lined by people watching tbo passage of the happy throng , and the pretty spectacle. The big motor failed along with Us unwonted burden , seeming Itself to share the pride In Us achievement manifested by Manager Dlmmock , of the bridge llns , and Agent Henry of the manufacturing company , and Motorman Lovett , who was at the helm. The ascent of the 4 per cent grade from DougUs to Farnam street was watched with much Interest , and a trifle of anxiety , for the sight of a reserve motor , not far behind the train , showed that therewae some suspicion on the part of the officials that the- big ma chine might weaken on going up the hill. But there was no need of the reserve , for the train proceeded without slacking speed. On the level between the river and Council Bluffs the speed of the motor , with so heavy a load was tested , and so satisfactory was the trial that many were ready to admit that the era ot general electric railways was at hand , the speed made being twenty miles on hour.

The next regular meeting of the Board of Education , which occurs Monday night , Is the date lor the election of n secretary , a superintendent of buildings and a custodian ot supplies for the coming year. Unless present Indications fall the election will not be had without a fight. A number of anx ious candidates are making life a burden for some of the members who are understood to bo somewhat undecided as to their choice. So fur as the secretaryship Is concerned , there seems to bo no particular opposition to the re-election of Secretary Olllnti , and he will probably obtain another lease ot life without opposition. A determined effort Is being made to lown Superintendent of Dulldlngs Danker. Janker was electnd last year after a long and doubtful struggle , In which honors were easy between three or four candidates for a number of ballots. At that tlmo William J. Stevens came within one vote of being elected. Stevens was encouraged by his narrow escape and Is again a very likely candidate. Ills friends claim that ho will run very close and will win out , unless Danker should be elected on the flrst ballot. Sam MacLeod's Insatiable ambition to get a place at the public crib has again got the jettcr of his udgmcnt , and he Is making n canvass for votes which is moro notable for perseverance than success. If ho has a single vote In the board It Is not In evidence , yet he Is plugging away as Industriously as : hough ho had a majority on the first ballot. Charles I ) . Southard U after the position of custodian , it"'v held by Edward Schoon- ovcr. Southard was also a candidate for Guy Donne's place as secretary of the Hoard of I'ark Commissioners , but failed to make connections , and is now looking for the nc\t best thing In sight. Southard's candidacy Is backed by a portion of the same clement that wanted to retire Miss Arnold and Miss Evans at the recent election , and also by some of the coal dealers , who are not alto gether pleased with Mr. Schoonover's atti tude toward their Interests. It Is stated that Mr. Schoonover 1ms held the dealers to the ttrict Interpretation of the rules ot the board , and that this has not tended to In crease his popularity with them. Wh'le the opposition to Schoonover and Danker has developed considerable strength , the conservative members of the board are of the opinion that they will both be re- elected. _ Are Vou doing to f olnrailn for the Summer' ' July 5th to 8th. the Chicago , Rock Island 6 Pacific Ry. will sell round trip tickets t Denver , Colorado Springs and I'ueblo at $19.00 for the round trip , good for return passage tilt Sept. 1st.

Chancellor Mcl.oati on tlio Nw I'lnu ot the btntn Unlvurilty , Chancellor McLean of the State university , who came up from Lincoln with the gov ernor's party to attend the banquet tendered the chief executive Friday evening * , declared himself as confident that the plan decided on for abolishing the prcpuatory department of the Institution would work well. The first of the two sub-freshman years has already been dropped , but tt Is proposed not to relinquish the work of the second ot these years fully before the spring of 1897. Full work will bo done during the next school year , BO ns to carry the present students forward as heretofore to the en trance of the college course proper , but the next year In only half ot the studies will Instruction bo given , It-being expected that the high schools will by that tlmo have changed their courses so as to Include the other half , and this division was decided on for the express purpose of making It moro easy for the high schools to conform to the ultimate scheme. The chancellor says that the change will not lower the standard of admission to the university , nor , indeed , modify it materially , but will require more advanced work In such high schools In the state which will be a majority of them as do not now pre pare fully for the freshman year. It Is an attempt to solve the problem , already solved In many contiguous states , of bringing the high schools and academies generally and the stale university Into harmony , so that the university Is the next step from all preparatory schools nnd the head In proper course of the school system of the state. Generally the fears of friends of Institu tions of this character that the abolishment - ment of preparatory courses will result In decreased attendance and In matriculates not so well qualified have proved groundless and Chancellor McLean Is sure they will prove so In this case , the university being left free to do what Is recognized as the proper work of a university , and the standard of the preparatory schools being raised nnd made uniform. Asked his sentiment respecting the estab lishment of a department of agriculture and of mechanic arts In the university , the chancellor said that ho favored the general Idea , but would not be ready for some time to make specific suggestions. He attaches much importance to the kind of Instruction contemplated , believing It to bo extremely desirable , especially In agricultural states , nnd that It could be much more economically and effectively furnished as a part of the work of the university than In an Institu tion separately and exclusively maintained for IU Chancellor McLean has been at Lincoln for a week hard at work , though his otllclal term does not begin until July 1. Ho went to Minneapolis yetterday morning to "uproot , " as ho expressed It , and will probably go to Denver after that to represent the State uni versity In the national conference of college presidents. raltfnrnln or TCXHK.
