TALKS OF THE DINING HOOM. "The Dining Hoom as a Civilizing Factor l-i Indian Education' was considered by Kugcnii' Z Ilryce of the same agency. She PHI that the school was the home of the Indian child aixl the dining room alTorded an opportunity to Instill a love of the beau tiful The linen snould be clean and In- xlting and the walls adorned with i-ome Mmplo decoration. Even the manner in which the food wa placed on the table vvas important In Its relation ; to the observation o' the pupil Sociability uhould be cul tivated in the dining room , and hero the pupils hhould bo taught to observe tbe miiaM courtesies Of the occasion Lol H Pile her of Cheyenne Okl , read a ] , apcr on "The Dormitory as a Civilizing J'ai - ' > r in Indian Education. ' She declared that tine buildings and handsomely furnished rooms did not make a home. A house xv aa not a home , but the home muni be made Irnide the house. An Indian t'uld ' enjoyed comfort as much as Its white brother , nnd even If It came from a wild cj'un a clean room and well kept bed were fully appreciated. There should be a homelike look from the hase- jncnt to the roof. The long , bare lulls should be carpeted , even with rags , and the walls should be decorated with such p iu e-s as were * obtainable. In all this theie wet an unlimited Held for the taste and i inuity of the teacher.

The last paper of the Institute was read by Louise McDermott of Plpestone. Minn. , who discussed "The Logical Development of the fhlld Mind " She considered the sub ject largelv In relation to the teaching of drawing studying the development of the Intellectual faculties of the child as Indi cated by Its progress In that science She contended that on the whole the educitlon of Indian children was not more difficult than that of a white child , nnd the methods acquit ed In experience with white children could generally be applied to the Indian1- . The fact must not be lost sight of , how ever. that the Indian child had n compara tively bhorter period of development His notlonH of things were crude unformed and fragmentary. His emotions were strong while his powers of Judgment were weak. \s there WHS nothing In a child's past to which he could compare his experiences and consequently the force of instruction was often wanted It was not FO much the tank of the teacher to convey facts ns to stimu late thought. Thlb Idea was followed out by the speaker In Its relation to drawing , which , when properly taught stimulated the Imag ination of the pupil and furnished the most satisfactory indication of his Intellectual progress At the end of the regular program Mrs. Prances M. Kord secretary of the Bureau of Education of the exposition briefly ad dressed the teachers In regard to the pro posal exhibits at the exposition Mrs. Ford gave a concise outline of the plans that had been formed and urged the teachers to co operate in the enterprise.

The members of the Soutlislde Improve ment club spent an hour last night in en deavoring to agree In regard to the disposi tion of a small balance that remains on hand from their second annual picnic at Kiverview park. One faction wanted to ex pend the money for a concert at the park , while another favored using it toward hav ing plans drawn for a permanent pavilion to add to the attractions of the rct-ort. It wss finally decided that the Seventh Ward Military band be employed to give a concert nt the park A delegation from South Omaha , headed by J J Hrecn and George Parks , was present to urge the soulhsldcrs to co-operate with them in securing an extension of the street railway line to South Omaha by way of South Thirteenth btreet and Missouri avenue They urged the desirability of hav ing a direct connection between _ South Omaha and the union depot both for con venience of passengers and the more rapid delivery of the mall. Mr. nreen declared that the school census taken last week showed that South Omaha had a population of IS.SCO people He quoted figures , to show how the extensions of the street railway- lines had filled up the vacant houses in the Third ward and Albright , and declared that If the proposed direct connection was ob tained the territory lying between Hlver- vievv park and South Omaha would peen become one of the finest residence localities in either city- President Powers and other members of the Southslde club expressed their readiness to join with South Omaha and fight tooth and toenall for the proposed extension , and a committee was appointed to co-operate with the Sonth Omaha committee to that end. _ civns POISON TO unit IUVAI , .

Veomans of Iowa , member of the Interstate Commeice commission , was in Omaha yesterday afternoon , enroute from a western trip to Washington. In c = peaking of the status of the Omaha bridge case , which has been before the com mission for two years , Commlvioner Ycomans said a decision would probably be reached thla month. The evidence had been turned over to Commissioner Knapp , and he- was to write out the opinion. This he ex pected to do at once. Commissioner Yeomans said the commissioners antici pate that Commissioner Knapp will have his opinion ready to be pa& = d upon when the body meets at Washington. The commission holds a special meeting July 21 to pare upon some caset from New- York , and Commissioner Yeomans said he thought the bridge case would be p.ssed upon at the tume time. He wouldu t venture an opinion as to the nature of the decision , for he said it would not be known till after Commissioner Knapp makes his icport The commia-lon will then hive the right to approve or reverse that report , and that action forms the final decision. i" ii-vrns roil Tin : TO i iiiyrs.

"This is certainly the day of cheap travel , but a very disagreeable result of the numer oua cheap rates offered thU summer is that all our regular business has been smashed to binithertene. " t > ald a city passenger agent ypjterday. H was the day that the llncvs cast and south of Omaha were offering for the first time this summer great Indue e- ments to those who want to travel In east erly and southerly directions. The rate to Chicago was $9.25 , a sUth of $3 50 from the tariff rate. The rate to St. Louis haa been chopped down to $10 50. The Indications are that there will be finite a movement on these rates out of Omaha. While all other movements thii aeaAon will be compared to the great exodus of the Christian Endeavorers , still there are other folks who have been cjulttly holding off. waiting for cheap rates to be offered In other directions From inquiries made at the local ticket offices It appears that there will be but little more traveling done rn regular ratee this fcummer It U thought that the cheap rates to the Grand Army encampme-nt next month at Buffalo will he numerously taken advantage ot out of this territory In order to keep up with the prevalent style of whittled rates , the western rail roads yesterday agreed on the following reductions for these Iowa occasions Inter national Order of Good Templars , Tamj , la. , August 2S-September 2 , one fare and a third for the round trip from all points in Iowa , Iowa State Christian Endeavor union Dubutiue.

" All western rallroadT have granted a rate of one fare for the round trip for tliU occa- bion. but passenger men generally do not anticipate a heavy volume of traffic on ac count of this rate Persons who desired to take advantage of cheap rates to the west ern country monly went out with the Christian Endeavcrers There is a small colony of Mormons in Council Hluffs. and H Is stated that most of.them will be In attendance - tendance at the Jubilee.
