tunity to say whether they want to vote
bonds at the coming election tor the croc-
tlon of a. lnglo High school building or twc
additional High schools , ono on the norU
eldo and one on the south. jThls was the
action determined upon by the Board of Ed
ucation nt Ha meeting lost night. The bean
did not care to shoulder the rceponslblllt ]
of deciding the question without securing
on expression of public sentiment.
According to the report of the commlttei
which hati been considering the matter , 111'
report being adopted , a circular will bo sen
out to the patrons ot the schools. This cir
cular will outline the advantages and dlsad
vantages of the two scheme ] . The oplnlom
of both the taxpaycra nd those who du no
pay taxes will bo asked. The circulars wll
I he distributed by means of the school chit
dren and by mall. The co.it of the circular
is to bo limited to ? 50.
The action was not taken without som
objection , a portion of which was based 01
principles of economy. Others , the support
era ofthe one-school plan , wanted the mat
ter settled at once. Mr. Klcwlt malntalnei
that the board should not think of n plai
tor an extra building In Its present flnan
clal utatus , when It Is running behind It
Income- every year. Mr. Sears asserted tha
after a canvass he had found the bulnc
men opposed to the two-building scheme. I
Tvae finally determined , however , to canvas
public opinion to avoid a possibility of nn
having the bonds carry.

The labor question again bobbed up li
the shape ot a resolution by Hess. Thi
provided that the board should rccogntz
nnd employ in Its repair nnd constructloi
department only such mechanics as ar
members of trades unions ; that mechanic
now' employed nnd not members of union
ehould be examined as to their compctenc
by a committee of three , one selected b
the Building Trades council , ono bv th
board and the third by these two ; it th
men are found competent by the commit
tee they should bo admitted Into the union :
All laborers should be exempt from the pr
visions ot the resolutions , provided thn
they shall not bo allowed or required to d
ircchanlcs' work. It was further resolve
that all employes should bo bona fldo cttl
rens , voters , taxpayers and heads of faml
lies In preference to others. All difference
were to bo referred to an arbitration com
V tnlttco of one from the unions , one froi
the board nnd a third to be selected t
the two. Their findings were to be blndln
upon all parties.
This resolution was very prompt !
equelched. Hess was frowned down on i
raking up a matter that has been dispose
ot and making a grand stand move for pi
lltlcal effect. A motion was made to la
the matter on the table nnd this was cai

The question of admitting into the Omat
public school children who live outside tl
city limits , which arises at the opening
every school year , was raised. Van Gild
wanted to let every child attend the school
but ho gracefully dropped back Into h
chair when It was pointed out that th
would bo In violation of the state la
It was suggested that a rule should be mai
that everyone who pays taxes to the clt
whether on a block of real estate In tl
heart ot the city or 05 an office desk , shou
be permitted to K < md his children to t !
Omaha schools. After considerable dlscu
slon the mutter was referred until t !
next meeting.
The petition to open another room at t :
Davenport school was granted desplto t
tact that a committee reported against su
Action. About forty pupils In the high

about n mile to attend other schools. A
other room wljl also be opened nt the Ai
brer school to accommodate children llvli
In a distant portion of the district wheat
at present to other schools. The addition
rooms will necessltafo the employment of
couple of extra teachers. Several membc
Insisted that the rooms are not required n :
that they will result In nn unnecessary e
penso. Among those who held this oplnl
was Klowlt , who gave notice that he won
move to reconsider itho action at the ne
meeting If a full board Is present.
A petition was received requesting tb
another room bo opened in the Ambl

WOMAN'S CLUBRESUMES WORK

The Woman's club , like everything else
In Omaha , finds Itself In competition with
the ( xcosltlon and the attendance nt 1U
meeting yesterday wns somewhat snnllcr
than usual. It was the first meeting of the
year , and , according to custom , the address
of the president was the feature of the
day. On similar occasions heretofore the
executive officer has outlined a policy or
promulgated a principle \\hlh she wished
to have carried out durlns the vear , bill
the present Incumbent , Mrs. Draper Smith ,
declined to follow precedent In thla regard ,
declaring that the club mut enunciate a
maxim for Itself. Mrs. Smith began hci
address , baying : "Tho character of a clul :
Is n reflection ot the character of Its mem
bers. It is stamped with their personality
and Its power Is proportionate to their In
dividual ideals and united efforts. " Shi
then emphasized the lesponslblllty of UK
women to the club In these words : "Expres
sion upon every question , e'ther ' by discus
sion or vote , Is due yourself , Is due the clut
and the woman who docs not cxcrclst
this privilege is as llablo for the rcsul
I of the action as the woman who bring :
I the question 'before ' the house nud In no
wise Is the silent member Justified In crlt !
clslng-tho procedure. " Mrs. Smith also callci
attention to the responsibility ot the clul
to the community and mentioned the fac
I which sho. had observed , as secretary of thi
State Federation of Clubs , namely , thn
many other clubs w ro Inquiring Into thi
methods nnd polfcy of the Omaha Woman'
club , looking upon It aa u greatly lau-ro.
rganlzatlon. Mrs. Smith closed It by In
ulrlng what the club would emphasize tth
omlng year. Should It bo self-cultur
hrcugh the study class ? Should It be prac
leal utility through the city Improvemen
ommlttce , or should It bo the culture o
ervlce , particularly In those rendition
which affect women and children ?
Mrs. Mary Glrard Andrews rcsponue3 t
.he president's request for an answer t
beae questions by a , plea for self-culture
believed that ths bon altruism coul
grow only out ot a well developed ego
'sin.
The music of the afternoon brought ou
) crformers who had never before bee
leard by the club. Mrs. J. C. Langley o
Denver , the guest of Mrs. C. C. Bolder
played a song without words by Men
lelssohn and Miss Helen Mackln , lately re
.urncd from three years' study of the plan
abroad , played the Schubert Impromptu I
A major. The only vocal number wa
'The Journey Is Long , " by Coombs , whlc
was sung by Miss Parthenla Bowman. A
a response to nn encore Miss Bowrna
sang "I Knew a Modest Vlofet. "
At the close of the program -three guest
who had been seated upon the platfon
wore heard. Mrs. Mary Ambrose Ravluui
once a dweller In Omaha and now of Cam
jrldge , Mass. , brought greetings from th
famous Cantabrldgta club. She spoke <
; ho emphasis laid by that club on housi
jold economics nnd told of Its public er.
terprlses , which include a school kllche
and vacation schools . where girls ni
taught all kinds of , housework. This clu
supports a scholarship In Hadcllffo colfegi
Miss Anna Caulfleld of Chicago , who w.-
ono of the speakers at the recent Art cor
grcss , gave the women some advice on hi
favorite subject. Miss Caulfleld bellevi
that art in America will como to be 11V
government In America , "for the peep
and by the people , " She complimented tl
sky of Nebraska , which she said is 111
that ot Italy , and called attention to poln
of view In Omaha which she thought shou
bo more highly prized. Mrs. Ida Mi
Keevcr of Stromsburg was the other spi
clal guest. Her contribution to the plea :
ures of the day was an original poem 1
dialect , called "Autumn Days. "
The only Item of business transacted du
Ing the afternoon which is of Interest
the public was the appropriation of $3i
to the use nf the museum committee. Th
commltteo consists ot Mrs. Towne , Mr
Crelgh and Miss Scott. It finds that at tl
close of the exposition there will be o ]
portunlty to secure specimens of varloi

( Slvo llolcnnili n Unit < lnni
tcr of nn liniir.
Governor Holcomb's arrival In the cltj
this morning promises to bo accompanied
toy n feature that may not prove nltogothm
agreeable to him. His appointment of Ma
jor Stoltzenbcrg over Lieutenant Colonc
Colton , an colonel of the Ftrat regiment
has * t'.rrcd up a storm about his ears and
the associate members and the ladles' aux
iliary ct ihe Thurston Rifles -have deter
mined upon having 'the First regiment mus
tered out now , If possible. The War de
partment has left It with- the governoi
wlich cf the Nebraska regiments la to be
mustered out. A committee of women Iron
'fis ladles' auxiliary , accompanied by Cade
Taylor and Congressman Dave Mercer , I :
to wait upon the governor nt the Paxtor
hotel ns teen as ho cets In this mornlni
and aak him to decide In favor of the First
V ladles' auxiliary Is composed of thi
-there , sisters and sweethearts of the boy :
at Manila.
This action wns the result of a mectlni
of the ladles' auxiliary and the assoclat
members last evening. Cadet Taylor sub
mlttcd the correspondence that had passci
between hU committee and the governo
relative to the Stoltzcuberg nppolntmen
and then offered the draft of an appeal t
the go\ernor for the complete aiusterlui
I out of the regiment. On this commute
beside Cadet Taylor were Leo Estclle , R. M
Cross and Charles A. Tracy. Their communl
cation to the governor contained the follow
Ing plain talk :
j For your Information , governor , we dcslr
I to inform vou that BO far as we know , an
we believe we are In a position to advls
you fully , there. Is not. a single nolltnr
father or mother or member nmong the na
scclatc members who favors Colonel Bratt'
suggestion that Major Stoltzcnberg shoul
be given the position. On thq contrnrj
i should 'Huch action be token there will b
' a combined effort on the part of the father
' and mothers and friends to have this com
' p.iny ( L ) mustered out of the , service , n
they do not feel that they want their boy
to ferve under the command pf Major Stoll
zenbcrg. The boys of course are" helplcsi
but their friends at home feel It their dut
: o bring every Influence to prevent whs
.hey believe to be an Inlusttce to Llcutcnai
Colonel Colton.
Greatest of the Complaliitn.
The letter rubbed It into the major quit
a , little , as for Instance , the following :
Thcro Is nothing personal In this matte
against Major Stoltzcnberg ; ho may be
capable officer , but the relatives feel tlu
10 Is too much of n martinet , autocratic an
lacking In sympathy with the private sol
dler. In other words , they think his plnr
Is with the regular army , where such oplr
ions generally prevail , and not with tli
volunteers.
The governor's answer amounted to
statement that ptoltzcnbcrg's appolntraei
was based upon Colonel Bratt'a recommendt
tlon and an allusion to Lieutenant Colon >
Colton'a position In the Manila custom hous
In the regular discharge of his duty. Ri
ferrlng to the customs position the gorerm
wrote :
I observe from nn Interview by Gener ;
Greene , who recently arrived from Manil
that Lieutenant Colonel Colton has a pos
tlon In the custom house , and I Infer fro :
that that he Is more Interested in mattw
of that Jclnd than In the military affairs , coi
ncctcd with the regiment.
When this correspondence was read la :
evening It brought out some remarks thi
were characterized by military ffanknes
J. A. Lilly openly said that Colonel Bratt
recommendation did not amount to an :
thing , because ho had been guilty of cow
ardlco at Manila. Cadet Taylor recalled tl
humiliating treatment , Stoltzcnberg had ai
corded Captain Culver of the cavalry wht
Stoltzcnbcrg was but an ordinary lleutci
ant. Stoltzenberg , It was Eald , owed h
rapid promotion to an Intrigue betwei
the governor and himself ; that ho had bet
the musterlng-ln officer and in that wt
had been of service to the governor. Th
wns Mr. Lilly's way of looking at It. Prc
L. C. Blnko seemed to have an Idea th ;
politics had something to do with the ma
tcr and advised conservative action. F
nally an appear to the governor for tl
mustering out of the First regiment wi
unanimously agreed upon nnd Mcsdamcs ]
N. Cross , C. M. Primeau , C. E. White , i
E. Stokes and A. A. ' Buchanan wcrq ai
pointed a committee to'walt upon the go
ernor with Cadet Taylor nnd Mr. Mercer li
mediately upon his arrival.
Why They Want to- Get Out.
The reasons set forth in the appeal ar
first , that the Flrst regiment has sei
service in a foreign land at great dlstnn
and if the present opportunity passes the
will be no hope left of favorable nctli
until the two years expire ; second , tl
distance ot the regiment makes it dlfflci
for the relatives of the soldiers to assl
them , which Is not the case with tbo Thl
regiment ; third , the positions which tl
boys had to glvo up when they enlist
cannot bo held for them Indefinitely if th
are to bo kept In the Philippines , an
finally , the mustering out ot the Third i
the eve of its departure for Cuba wou
not rellcct credit upon cither the state
that regiment.
It was stated that Congressman Merc
had wired the War department yesterd ,
to know by what authority Governor Hi
comb had taken action in making an a
polntracnt In a regiment of United Stat
(
volunteers.

posed to represent the faction of the pat
In the Magic City opposed to J. H. V
Dusen , one of the republican candidates I
statesenator. . Sherwood and his frlen
charge that Austin , the Van Dusen mei
ber ot the executive committee , was I
strumental In having the motion mi
which excluded his colleague , as he , Aust
wished to dispense all the money ue
In South Omaha. Austin and his frleni
however , deny this , nnd say that Shi

from South Omaha , and that he shot
be taken at his word. There was cons !
crablo Ill-feeling over the action ot t

The next matter ot Importance before I

MONEY IN THE LOCAL BANKS
Connnllilntcil Statement Shown Very
Illicit Depcrec of Prosperity
to i : = lnt Here.
The national banks ot the city , complying
with a recent order ot the comptroller of
the currency , have Just Issued statements
of their financial condition at the close of
business September 20 , and a resume ol
these reports at this time la Interesting , as
showing that the city Is enjoying a period
of unusual prosperity and the banking Insti
tutions a corresponding Increase ot business.
The officials of the various banks arc
authority for the assertion that no suret
Index of n community's prosperity can be
found than the bank deposits. These have
Increased almost 33 1-3 per cent during the
last year and a more substantial gain IF
noted during the last two months. In July ,
ISO" , deposits were $13,196,774.28. In th <
same month of 1893 they amounted tc
$17,632,064.94 , the Increase being $1,435-
790.66. The last statement , Issued Septem
ber 20 , shows a further gain of $1,158GC5.7S
The amount of money deposited by Individ-
ulas Is a reliable means of Judging thi
plentlfulness of money , the' , entire deposli
not Indicating much regarding the finance ;
of a community , for the reason that dcpos
its duo other banks draw Interest and dc
not represent local capital accruing as thi
result of Improving conditions. Prom July
1S97 , until the same month ot 189S , then
has been an Increase In the amount ot In
dividual deposits of about 25 per cent. Thi
present statements ( ihow a gain slnci
July of $303,122.72. There has been a prom
Islng Increase , also , 'of money left on demand
mand and time- certificates of deposit.
In July , 1897 , the aggregate resources o
national banks were $17,946,991.64. At th
close of business September 20 of this yea
they amounted to $23,463,531.68 , the Incrras

LIGHTS ALONG THE STREET !
Wonderful Electrical .Effect * Pro
ilucetl for the Illumination of KliiRT
' AU-Sar-Ben' * Line of March.
The electrical Illuminations ot the street
for the parades this week and the pcac
Jubilee next week were tested last nlghi
and so far. as the effects wore concerne
were highly successful ; It Is safe to sa
they eclipse anything over1 before attcmptc
In the city. The arctfes dVer the cros
streets are especially prdtty , being some
thing now , and with their colored light
glvo a charming variety to the illumlna
tlons. The usual line of Incandescent lamp
along the sides ot the principal streets ar
In place again this year , and the dlstanc
covered by the illuminations is greate
than ever before.
Standing nt the foot of Farnam strec
and looking up the hill to the city hal
court house and Bee building , which ar
rr.ado brilliant with their hundreds c
lamps , It has the appearance ot Ion
brightly burning fuses leading to a pllln
of dazzling fire. Looking down the stree
from the hill the arches have the appeal
anco ot completely roofing the street wit
their colored lights , nnd In contrast wit
the darkness above and the blnck shadow
of the 'buildings takes on the charade
of a brilliantly Illuminated tunnel. Sb
teonth , Fifteenth and Douglas streets ni
equally as beautiful , and there seems to I
more ot an effort on the part ot the bus !
nesa houses In the Illuminated section to cc
operate with the city In. making It a cred
liable display.
Tbeso electrical decorations are the mo :
elaborate ever seen In the west , and wttt
out any other attraction should be suff
clent to draw crowds of visitors to tt
city. Few people In town , who have bee
accustomed to surprises in this line eac
year since the organization ot the Ak-Sal
Ecn parades had any Idea of the beaut
which was being prepared for them tint
the current was turned on last night an
the universal expression was one of astot
Ishment. The lights will bo turned on I

The exposition has caused anger and lei
walling and Jabbering among the inhab

the result of a raid by treasury office
thirty Chinese girls were arrested la
Wednesday and will be sent back to Chli
at once.
Ever since the exposition opened tl
Treasury department , by whose permlssti
some 400 Chinese men , women and chlldn
were allowed to land and remain In th
country during the exposition for show pu
poses , has had trouble. Only twelve of tl
women appeared at the "Chinese Villagi
at the exposition and the treasury seer
service ag'ents ' sot out to find the mlssli
ones. Naturally San Francisco Chlnntov
fell under suspicion.
Two raids were postponed , as wind
them had leaked out , but finally la
Wednesday 123 officers and policemen su
cecded In capturing thirty girls. Dee
were chopped and broken down and t :
houses turned topsy turvy In the hunt , b
no one was Injured. There Is much ang
now where the girls were then , for eai
maid was worth $2,000 to her owner.

has quieted the minds of the Sacs ntr
Foxes and they have become pretty wel
contented to remain until the close of th

the location of their camp and put them li
eotno other place on tha grounds. At thl
time they are located Just west ot the bl
trees In front of Captain Mercer's offices.
People who are accustomed to the way
of the Indians and who have studied tbel
habits are aware that thcro Is nothing tlia
an Indian fears BO much as death. Thor
are some tribes , which , when at homo upo :
their reservations , will move their camp an
leave the vicinity In the went that death or
curs. Sometimes they will go farther than thl
and will burn the habitation In which th
deceased resided , as well as the clothing an

FIRE AND POLICE MATTERS
llonrit Settlen the Cnii-n of Three of
the Reformer * AKitlnnt Whom
Churned AVere Inherited ,
The Board of Flro and Pollco Commission
ers was confronted last night with a long
Met ot charges r.gathst policemen and fire
men which the former hoard had allowed to
drag from one week to another. The cases
. were taken up , fully heard and promptly do-
j elded upon. Fred C. Moore , the reform po
liceman who was discovered by n sergeant
drinking In a Sixteenth street beer gar
den with a woman , was dismissed from the
service1. Officer Lcnry had nlso been ob-
t served In n saloon In an Intoxicated condi
tion and ho likewise was discharged. Patrol
man Boyco was on the carpet for ullegcd
neglect of duty. The charge was sustained
by sergeants , who had seen him enter a pri
vate resldcnco nt Twenty-fourth nnd Lake
streets during business hours. The patrol-
ninn offered the evidence of citizens to the
effect that he neither drank nor strayed from
the path of duty. The evidence was con
sidered sufficient to warrant his discharge.
Patrolman Musscllman , charged with
shooting John Coyne , a boy who was trying
to escape on some petty offense , endeavored
to antlclpato hlB trial by offering his resig
nation. It was not accepted , however , and
the charges will bo heard next Monday night.
The resignation of Charles Westcrdahl , as
signed to detective duty , was received and
accepted.
Two delinquent firemen , Frank Johnson
and G. W. Weeks , pleaded guilty. Johnson
hod failed to nwaho the fireman whose
watch followed his and ud one stood guard
at No. 12 engine house from 12 to 2 a. m.
on September 15. For this oversight John
son was reprimanded and fined his offn for
thirty days. Weeks had been guilty of the
graver offense ot leaving the quarters with
out leave and ot Intoxication. He was lined
his pay during Che period ot his suspension
and his offs for ninety days.
Captain Watts , hose company No. 12 , sub
mitted an explanation of tbo circumstances
under which ho was discharged from the
service a few weeks ago , which received the
favorable consideration ot the board. He
was returned to his post for duty. Charles
H. Godfrey , engine company No. 4 , tendered
his resignation to take n position as en
gineer at the Government building.
A request was received from the exposi
tion management that the guards on duty on
the grounds bo given tbu authority ot spe
cial policemen. It was decided that such
applications would be granted and applica
tions to that end will he sent In. General
Manager Foster also made a request that 'he
detail ot policemen on the grounds bo In
creased by the addition of six men for the
remainder of tbo mouth nnd a compromise
was effected on three.

When a man gets down
flat on his back , so that he
has to be carried about like
a baby , he finally realizes that he is a sick
man. Very frequently he lias been a sick
man for years , but has recklessly refused
to recognize nature's warnings. Severe
illness is something- that docs not strike a
man like a flash of lightning. It creeps
upon him by degrees , and at every step
warns him with a new danger signal.
When a man feels "out of sorts" or
"knocked out"or whatever he may call it ,
lie is a sick man. It is time to take warn
ing. Headaches , drowsiness , loss of sleep
at night , loss of appetite , nervousness , bad
taste in the mouth in the morning , and
frightful dreams all thet > c are warnings of
encroaching illness. Dr. Piercc's Golden

does not make corpulent people more cor-

places them with the firm , muscular tissues
of good health. It .cures 98 per cent , of
