dent. Thomas Ihon moved Iho adopllon ot
the rules and regulallms of 1S97 , wllh some
amendments. Ot these Iho most Important
were two changes by which the authority of
the superintendent of schools la broadened.
The first 'change vested In , the superintend
ent the authority to make all assignments of
teachers "after constillnllon with , " Instead of
"with approval of" the committee on teach
ers nnd examinations. The second provided
that no teachers should be elected or assigned
by the board or any of Its comrnltteco , un

imously adopted.

A resolution by Dennis alleged that the In
structor In charge of the commercial depart
ment at the High school had proved In
competent nnd directed the High school com

Mayor Qtoores has decided to veto the
resolution adopted ot the last meeting ot
the city council by which the comptroller
was Instructed to make his books conform
to the new fund balances which were ob
tained by adding the uncollected balances
o * the lust fcnir tnx lovlrs. The mayor's
principal objection to the change Is that It
would place a largo theoretical balance In
the various funds without actually.adding a
cent to the cash resources. The result
would ibe that a lot ot warrants would be
drawn for bills now outstanding and thcso
would bo out at 7 per cent Interest for an
Indefinite period. The mayor considers the
funding bond proposition as the bent way out
ot the difficulty. 3Io says that If funding
bonds are Issued to take up the warrants
the city will only pay 4 per cent Interest
as against 7 per cent on the warrants.
Whllo the council has not had any official
notice of the mayor's Intention to veto the
resolution. It Is expected that the veto will
bo sustained and that the refunding ordi
nance , which has been hanging flro for several
months , will be taken up at once and passed.
The mayor will leo veto the resolution
directing the city treasurer to refund fees
paid for slot machtno licenses after- October
1. The mayor says that the owners of the
trachlncs should all bo treated alike and that
ho will not approve a resolution that refunds
the fees to some and leaves the others To
hold the sack.

City Engineer Hosewater has transmitted
to Mayor Moores an estimate of the pros
pective expenses of the engineering and
Board of Public , Works department during
1S98. The estimated cost of running the
engineering department is $15,000 , while that
of running the Beard ot Public Works , In
cluding ofllco expenses and clerical work , Is
$4.500. In view of the ruct that there arc
bills amounting to about $23,000 already
pending against the curbing , guttering and
cleaning fund , the engineer recommends that
the limit of $30,000 should' bo levied for that
fund. Ho also wants $40,000 for street Im
provement and $10,000 additional for street
cleaning. These last two Itema are designed
to cover the cost of keeping the streets and
pavements In the best pcs > slblo condition dur
ing the exposition. Mr. Kosewater contends
that while It will cost some money to keCy
up appearances in this respect , It is the
best possible Investment tliat the city could
make. Ho asserts that nine pecolo out of
ten who visit a city with a view to popslblo
Investment tcako the condition of the streets
the first consideration , A clean and at
tractive street goes further to give them a
high opinion of the city than any other single -
glo ccoslderatlon , and he Is anxious tbat a
particular effort should bo made In this di
rection this year.
COUNCIL , COMMITTEE ( MEETING.
Work for n future Si-HKlniu of the
Iliuly IH Delmtfil.
At the committed meeting yesterday the
city council decided to place the plan of as
sessment for the Walnut Hill grading on fllo.
This represents a tax which has been In con
troversy for seven years. A week ago a largo
delegation of property owners was present to
protest against the plan ot assessment and
the matter was postponed for one week. '
The remainder of the afternoon was oecu-
plol In a discussion of the new plumbing
ordinance. Rulldlng Inspector Butler and
Plumbing Inspector Clawson Insisted that
the fees provided were no uio-ro than were
necessary to pay the expenses of the olllce ,
but several of the councllmcn contended
that they were too high. The result was a
compromise by which the cost of a master
plumber's license was reduced from $10 to $5
and that of a journeyman plumber's license
from $5 to $2.50. i

, i
Ed Hlghbaugb , a burglar , -was caught yes-
tcnlay morning with his booty on his person.
At 9 o'clock a hurry call \vns received at
the police station from the family of L. D.
Holmes , 2533 California street , to the effect
that there was a burglar In a bedroom up
stairs. A detail of officers , consisting of
Sergeant King , Detectives Savngo and Dempsey -
sey and Officer HeltfeUlt , went to the location
at a gallop , nnd were quick and fortunate
enough to arrive before the burglar had left
tlio scene. As the wagon turned from Twen
ty-fourth on Cass the officers saw a negro one
block west , running south on Twenty-filth
street. Tito recognition was mutual , and the
negro turned and hurried back , turning up
the alley one-halt block north. Another
minute's time would have made his escape
practically certain. The officers distributed
thcmsclvco about the neighborhood and
searched every shod and outhouse. The
negro was finally discovered from the action
of a frightened horse In a barn near Twen
ty-sixth street , between Cass and Califor
nia. Sergeant King noticed the animal
standing at the door with broken haltar
and trembling with fear. He made a search
of the stable and found the negro hidden bo-
ncath the hay III the manger. His abrupt
arrival had BO startled the horse Ihut It had
broke loose and rushed to the door. The man
wns searched and hlo possessions were found
to bo a gold ring and Indelible lead pencil.
Ho was taken to the house of Mr. Holmca
and the ring was recognized as the property
of one of the daughters of the family. The
negro was also Idcntlllcd as a man who had
been begging at the door earlier In the morn-
Ing. Ho made no denial of bis sulk-ami was
locked up on the charge of burglar } ' .
Other property which the burglar had at
tempted to carry away was found on the
nromlsM. On the kltciien table was a cold
watch nnd chain , and other Jewelry was
found on the floor. The man had evidently
been waiting his chauco to enter the house
flora the rear when the family was safely
engaged In front , and used the gulso of a
beggar to cover his reconnaissance. He
wns careless in his work , however , and
alarmed the women of the houaa who
promptly visited a neighbor's telephone and
notified the police station. Hlghbuugh Is
about 20 years old , and Is new at house-
breaking. He has been arrested on other oc
casions , however , for small offenses , and lg
known to bo a young man of not , very good
Intentions.
Hlghbaugh was given his preliminary ex
amination yesterday afternoon. Ho entered
the plea of not guilty and the trial will oc
cur this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

decided to remove Us plant from Lincoln to
Om h i. M. C. Orr , manager of the Acrtnotor
company , was In Iho city ycslcrday , and
signed a three years' lease for the largo
warehouse oa Izard street , between Thir
teenth and Fourteenth streets , knownas the
Armstrong warehouse.
The western business ot the Acrmotor com
pany will bo removed from Lincoln to this
city within the next thirty days. The ware
house In this city will bo usetl for storing
the manufactured goods of the company and
for distributing them from here through the
west. The factory of the company la located
In Chicago , and Iho concern Is regarded as
one of the strongest In Its line ot business.
The change from Lincoln to Omaha Is made
because the latter Is regarded as n belter
distributive point. The warehouse hero
wljlch the firm will occupy Is located on the
tracks of the Union Pacific , and It Is the
superior railroad facilities hero that has
brought about the removal. The lease was
negotiated by Charles C. George and J. K.
George of this city. The number ot families
that the location ot the now plant will bring
to Omaha Is not known , but It Is said that
the company will employ a largo force hero ,
as all the western business will 'bo hereafter
handled from Omaha.

f arch of Events
The rapid march of events upon the confidence of the people fortolls for the
"Guarantee" a successful future ,
The "Guarantee" Is but a trldo over 100 days old. An Infant In age , though
full grown In experience. During Its days it fought many a commercial battle , de
fended many false accusations , silenced Imitators and nailed many a falsehood in
tended to destroy Its good name.
During Us limited days it achieved greater BUCCCSB than any similar business In
llko period of tlmo , considering Ha away-from-thc-buslncss-portlon location and its
plainness , against tbo grandeur In store appearances. The "Guarantee won a suc
cess that amounts to a triumph.
If Ita success Is not entirely merited , then call it but a slroalc of fool's luck.
Yet the Judgment or those who bought hero promotes toicreaeo in confidence. If
confidence is won by fool's luck , then put us down n luclcy fools. i
If our Biicccsa la not honestly earned , show us a fitorc that Is entitled tto it , It
tucro Is a store Dial sells better goods for less money than wo do , or more honcut
In representing things , or more conscientious In business transactions , or more

Is there a Btoro anywhere where every aitlclo Is sold with a guarantee for its
good ccrvlco and honest worth an wo do ? And ID there any ono who can nay tbat

Thcso are the principal good qualities of this store , and for this reason TVC have
