SAY THEY NEED MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS Connellinri. ronteml Tlint I ! C v h Ilnim Short K Cnn Ho on ( Icnprnl I'nnil , The city council has determined that the * levy this } ear shall be 28 mills , but It l not at all certain that the levy will be at this figure. This statement Is nude no- Rlblo by the fact that two questions must still be- answered before the levy becomes .1 law.Vllf the mayor approve or veto the levy ordinance" Is one ot these questions , the other Is , "Will the school board be B t- l fl < l with the levy set aside for U , or will U appeal to the courts for an additional amount ? " Mayor Moorea has not } et decided what he will do. The ordinance lias not officially reached him } ot and ho knows nothing of the lory except what he has seen In the papers. In his conversations , however , he Intimates that the sums set aside for some of the funds are entirely Inadequate , but whether the discrepancy la targe enough to cause him to veto the measure ho Is not rca.dy to say. What the Board of Education -will do la another undrcldod question and will not bo Bottled until thn members hold a conference. Members of the bourd , howccr , are not backward In saying that the school levy ii entirely Inadequate. With the comparatively email sum that has been given the fund It is said that the board will Ixs deeper In debt at the crul of this year than It was nt the end of 18S8. The board Is uranlmously op- posotl to any Increase In the floating In- dobtcdne&s. "We were willing to effect a compromise. " said ono of the board members. "The dis trict court rendered a judgment In our favor to the amount of our Indebtedness , $159,000 , against the city. Wo aslted the council to levy for us $1SO,000 , which would wipe out about one-third of this Indebtedness some J53.000 the remainder being used for run ning expenses. The- council has given us but $100,000 , nnd If ue remain content with this and continue to run the school district no will bo about $30,000 moro in debt than we are , now. That Is a plala statement of the case What our action will bo I can not day. " MtiHt Unit * Mon T for Schools , Attorney Lunt of the board de clares that there Is no question that the board can compel the council to make n greater levy. He says : "It Is not the pur pose of the board to put an unnecessary burden upon the taTpaycrs. but It has taken the position that It should bo euppllel with enough money to run the schools without Increasing the Indebtedness. I hat a no doubt that It could force the council to make a levy big enough , not only to pay running expenses , but also to wipe out $159,000 In debtedness , for which It holds a judgment against the city In the district court- Twenty days have elapsed since the decision was rendered , and no appeal has been taken. Therefore the city cannot go to the supreme court " City Attorney Connell has given It as his opinion that the board can force any sort of levy It deems necessary. The levy Is considered ridiculously low by ill city officials. The majority of the coun cil are of the same opinion , even those mem bers who voted for It. The latter said In explaining their votes that they knew enough money was not being provided for the various funds , but they were determined to keep the lo > y down , Councilman Stuht also stated that it any of the funds run short they may bo supplied out ot the general fund. This statement has been ridiculed by city officials for two reasons. One of these Is that any such action would bo In violation of the plain letter of tne charter , Tvblch has been frequently Inter preted by City Attorney Council. The cha-- ter specifically states that no money may be transferred from the general to the special funds. A second argument against Stuht's Btatement Is that the general fund does not provide enough for running expenses and therefore there Is no allowance for emer gencies or for suppllng the special funds with money. Sec a HlK DcllcK. It Is also pointed out that while the levy for 1S99 ns proposed will net more money than the levy for 1S08 , yet , as a matter of fact , the city will have n lesser amount of money to expend because a big balance was carried over from 1807 , while a deficit was carried over from 1S9S. It Is freely pre dicted that the city will nnd itself between $100,000 and $200,000 In debt b } the end ot the joar If 25 mills \e \ allowed to stand. The 1808 levy was 2\ mills nnd netted" $793,188.07. Ten per cent of this amount with the exception of the school levy. Is not available under * the charter. Consequently quently the city could draw against but about $720,000 of the levy. The tax collections from lev-leg of past y\ars , however , helped out considerably , as the total tax collected amounted to $749- 629.81. On January 1 , 189S , there was a bal ance in all the funds ot $153,303 26 , so that the city actually had to spend during the jear IK02.933.il , The city not only spent MERIT MAKES IT FABIOC * .

CATHOLICS NOT IN SYMPATHY _ _ _ _ _ A Local Clmrcli IVoplu Dlncnutitrnnnui. Hicluilim of JcivlHli Children from Snureil llcnrt School , The publication of the facts In connection with the recent order of the mother genera of the Sacred Heart , excluding Jewish chil dren from' the schools conducted by the Btstcts , elicits the Information that the ac tion Is discountenanced by all < be prom inent Catholics ot Omaha. The genera ! opinion Is that the matter will bo brought up formally before the church authorities nnd steps taken to have the order rescinded. The Sacred Heart order , unlike most of the other Catholic orders. Is governed ex clusively from the central headquarters In Paris. It U stated that the nuns in charge of the convent at Omaha cannot make any Innovation , or Incur any material expense , or add to the school buildings by the addi tion of other rooms without first securing the approval ot their superior In France Well Informed Catholics say that the drift Is toward the separation of the Amcricau branch of the order from the European branches , and that they expect , as the final outcome , the establishment of American convent schools completely under the con trol of the American cardinals and bishops It Is possible , and ver } likely probable , that the new order of the mother general , discriminating against the Jewish children will hasten this movement. As Indicating the feeling of the Omaha Catholics , the fol lowing letter may be taken to indicate the attitude of most ot them OMAHA , Feb. 8. To the Editor ot The Bee- Understanding as I do the govern ment of the Sacred Heart order , I wish to express to } ou my sincere regrets over the recent exclusion ot Jewish children from the Sacred Heart schools in this city. I am sure that In thin I voice the sentiment of all 1ho Intelligent and progressive Catholics ot Omaha , Wo ha.vo only the friendliest feelIng - Ing for the Jewish children.Ve would do nothing to encourage any act of discrimina tion against them and we wish It fully un derstood that neither the local Catholics nor clergy have bad anthing to do with the order nf exclusion. I feel cctitidcat that wten the matter Is taken up. , the Injustice will b promptly recognized and rectified Very truly } ourn , ROSE COFFMAN.

At the meeting of the Southwest Improve ment association Wednesday night the en- lire time was devoted to discussions relative to the Twenty-fourth street viaduct project. Councllmen Stuht and Mount were present and each spoke briefly , explaining the views of the council and Its plans with reference lo the viaduct both at Twenty-fourth and Sixteenth streets. Robert Purvis offered a resolution thank ing the council for authorizing a tax levy 110 greater than 25 mills. It was adopted , rhen Councilman Mount was called upon 10 tell those present what be thought were he prospectu for a viaduct at Twenty-fourth street. He ealil that bo was heartily In favor of an ordinance authorizing the build- ng of such a viaduct , but that the council relieved a viaduct at Sixteenth street to be no re necessary just at present. He added hat It la an Injustice to the property owners o permit Twenty-fourth street to remain : loscd and elated that the action of the -allroad companies In not opening It is 11- cgal. Mr Stuht related the conversation be bad allh the railroad officials regarding the via- lucts , ( stating that they are willing to build me u year , but cannot go to the expense if constructing both at the same time , The speaker promised the club to vote 'or tha ordinance to build the viaduct and said he will do what he can to have the ' street opened.

Yesterdaj's cold wave caused more dis comfiture than an } cold snap In jears past The stock receipts at the yards noticeably diminished and the sales were hurried through with a rush. Very few shippers braved the cold winds and the consequence was that only a nominal number of cars arrived. All stock was placed under shelter at once In order to prevent shrinkage. Thermometers about town varied , but alt showed something like 20 degrees below zero. Business was practically suspended and people ple hurried about the streets as If they had been sent for. Policemen and those com pelled to be upon the streets suffered greatl } . The Incoming * malls were as full as usual and the letter carriers were compelled to walk rapidly In order to keep from freezing. Deliveries were made on time , but ths carriers hurried ns much as possible In order to get to a good hot stove. It was hard work for the firemen on the engines in the stock yards to keep up steam and all switch engines working here expe rienced the same trouble. In all buildings heated by steam there was trouble about keeping radiators warm and In buildings with north fronts the ice could not bo melted from the windows Coal dealers had a busy time and wagons laden with anthra cite and bituminous coal were about the enl } vehicles visible Old resident ? say that the cold snap Is the most severe In years. The poor were cared for b } the city , county and the local church societies , so that there was no real suffer ing The attendance nt the public schools was naturall } lessened , as a great many parents kept their children at home on account of the cold The heating apparatus at some of the buildings Is out of repair and It will be necessary to wait for a warm day before the changes needed can be made.

While the Intense cold of the last few ! as has prevented work on the ice fields , he Ice men are well satisfied with the sltua- Ion With few exceptions they have com- iletfd their harvests and the Ice crop of the eason Is bigger than any that has been 'athered in recent years. The South Omaha acklng houses have filled their houses and be local dealers have practically secured their supply. Some of them win keep on cutting when the weither moderates , but It MJl require comparatively little more to fill their houses to their full capacity. It Is estimated that fully 209,000 tons of Ice la now In the various houses In Omaha and Vicinity , to siy nothing of the big crop at Ashland and other adjacent points from which Ice Is usually ehVppcil to Omaha dur ing the season. Most of the crop Is of excel lent quanty , although some snow his been mixed with the solid product where only one or two cuttings h .v been made. The reservoirs have been cut over three times and the fourth crop furnishes perfectly clear Ice upward of six Inches thick. At points where no previous cuttings have been made the Ice Is fully twenty Inches thick , but It Is not of the best quality. HEARD ABOUT TOWN , "There'll Be a. Hot Time.

The publishers have made fortunes out of it. Since lUe army nnd navy have adopted It the demand for It hag Increased ery materially. While receiving no money for It , poor Joe Hoyden la recelv Ing dally letters from army officers of all ranks , In which his song Is spoken of as the stimulant which aroused the fighting blood of the soldiers. Senator Morgan sent him a letter In which he said ttie song should be classed among the nation's battle songs The song -was Introduced In. the army In this way When the order came to the sol- dlcra lying In the trenches before Santiago to advance on the city one of tli soldiers remarked , "We'll give 1hem a hot -time In ttiat town tonight" This remark caused one of the men to start Hayden's song. The song became Infectious and In a short -tlmo the entire line was singing It , aided by the bands In the rear. When the order to charge was given the boys charged with the tplrlteil words and melody on their lips and many a poor fellow went down singing It. An officer said the son * seemed to electrify- the men. Hajdcn Is broken-hearted over his lost opportunity to fame and fo-tune ana rarely &ajs anything about his authorship.

With the mercury hunting the bottom ot the bulb little or no more evidence would be necessary to prove the Immense popu larity ot the Elks lodge In this city than the exceptionally large audience assembled at Bod's last evening to witness the benefit production 1iy local talent ot Tommy Getz's farce comedy , "A Night In Bohemia" Every seat was occupied , Including the boxes , and nearly all available standing room wo-3 filled. It was a most demonstrative crowd , everything anbody did being applauded to the echo As to the performance Itself , It was one ot the best amateur affairs yet seen In the city and reflects much credit upon Mr. QeU and his assistants , especially when it Is re membered that less than three weeks has been given to rehearsals and all other preparations. While only local talent par ticipated. It Included Omaha's best and many of the performers did their work with the finish of professionals. The play Is n farce on the Hot order made up principally of specialties. Edmund Keene , nn actor and true Bohe mian , retired from the stage. Imagines his friends have deserted him and has just gone to the country to end his das at a quiet village.
