After a very enjoyable repast had Leon
disposed of Mr. Utimont called tlio banquet
ers to order and Introduced C. V. Wellur na
toastmaEtcr. The toasts that followed were
somewhat abbreviated In order that the
guests might accept an Invitation to pene
trate the mysteries of the don of the KnUhta
of Ak-Sar-IJon. Mr. Wcller brlolly com
mended the purpose and work of the order of
Woodmen and concluded by expressing the
hope that tbo headquarters of the order
may always remain In the Gate City.
Captain H. E. Farmer spoke of "Omaha ,
Retrospective and Prospective. " Ho rapidly
sketched a verbal picture of Nebrauka ns
U appeared when ho first came here , when
land that Is now a marvel of fertility
could bo bought for 10 cents an aero , and
aroused applause by declaring that No-
braska'o corn crop this year will roach
360.00POOO bushels. Ho sugcsted that It Is
not to bo expected that the state will de
velop in the next forty years as It has In
the forty years Just passed , but that It la
a reasonable- expectation that at the end of
that period the state will have a population
of 7,000,000 people nnd a taxable valuation
of $6,000,000,000. Omaha will have Its shnro
In this dovelopment. It Is the place of all
places In which money can bo safely aud
satisfactorily invested.
Fraternity anil lluktiicnx.
"Commerlclal Relations with the South"
< was discussed by D. B. Bradshaw of Ar
kansas , whoso eloquent sentences Inspired
the crowd to liberal enthusiasm. He spoke
with feeling of the union of the blue and
gray and declared that the Influence of the
fratcrnn' ' societies has had much to do with
bringing about this result. Fraternal rota
tions paved the way for commerlcal con
nections and Arkansas has vast natural re
sources still -waiting for capital nnd en
ergy to como and wako them Into life.
Following another phase of the same sub
ject Judge W. W. Koysor spoke of "Tho
Relation Fraternities Boar to Commerce , "
Ho said thai wo have arrived at the con
clusion that every man should have a fair
equivalent for his day's work and that every
merchant should < make a fair profit on his
goods. We are approaching a now place In
commercial and industrial life and frater
nity to rapidly alienating the cut-throat
competition that has ruined BO many com
mercial enterprises. He referred In par
ticular to the Influence of the fraternal so
cieties In effecting a revolution In Ufa In
surance methods which permits a man to
know that after he Is gene his family will
have no diniculty In realizing on his policy.
It is one of the exclusive features of the
Woodmen of the World that the grave of
no deceased member Is permitted to bo
unmarked and Morris Shepherd of Texas
was Introduced to answer the toast , "Thu
Woodmen iMonumcnt. " Ho recalled the sen
timent of the monuments that have risen
in past agee to the elory of gods and king *
and inquired why the memory of all men
should not equally ibo preserved. Why
should the man of the lioo and plow bo
forgotten .when the man of the crown , or
the sword or the pen Is remembered ? It
was reserved for the Woodmen of the World
to declare that there should be no artificial
distinctions among the living or among
the dead.
Rev. T. J. ( Mackay paid a brief but grace
ful tribute to "The True Fraternity , " in the
course ot which ho declared that the
churches -will never reach their full meas
ure ot usefulness until they copy the eplrlt
of true fraternity as U exists in the fra
ternal societies of today.
The final toast was the "Woodmen of the
World , " and it .was very happily answered
"by F. A. Fnlkonburg of Denver nnd then the
whole party adjourned to enjoy tbo hos
pitality of King Ak-Sar-Ben.
PETER COOPER POPULISTS
Mcc tin it for the 1'urpone of
Ilnok the Iloltlni ; Member *
I'rovca Abortive.
The Peter Cooper Populist club held a
meeting last evening at Its rooms , 1D15
JIarney street , but nil was not harmony
The meeting had been called in the hope
that several members of the club who hat
deserted the standard of populism for the
newly organlted Union Reform movomen
might bo Induced to ro-ontor tlio fold. Before
the evening was over , however , it was din
covered that a great many ot the stalwar
members were not entirely trustworthy on
the subject ot direct legislation , the rock
upon which the split had occurred.
Thu ovenlnga discussion was opened hy
Will Fclber , an ardent exponent of the inlt
latlvo and referendum , who laid the subjcc
before the meeting in a way calculated to
aroueo the Ire of the populists present. II
was followed by L. J. Qulnfcy , who was
partly successful in smoothing over thing
and bringing the name of Dry an promlnentl
before the meeting. Ho declared hlrasol
as heartily In favor of direct legislation nn
Eottsoaped the recreant members nnd then
wound up "with an appeal to them to rcmal
on the populist baud wagon , saying that tli
time had not yet como for the making o
the question the paramount issue.
B. K. Thomas followed with an appeal fo
harmony and asked the 'bolting ' section t
remain in the populist ranks nnd aid the
fusion forces , who would tea that the end
was accomplished , -John O. YclPcr declared
himself as tbo originator ot the law In
this state , but did not think the tlmo had
yet como for pushing the issue above all
other things.
Asa Taylor , ono of the bolters , stated his
position on the question ns ono of unqualified
support for the ono plank platform nnd in
cidentally took occasion to refer to the law
passed by Yelscr In tbo Kcbraska legislature
of 1807 as nn abortion. Yclser was Im
mediately upon his feet In defense of hla pet
and for n few minutes the ntmoiphoro was
blue. Affairs finally quieted down and the
meeting adjourned , after having accom
plished 'but ' little In the 'way ' of bringing
back the boltcro.

Nearly fifty of the business men of the
city last night pledged their nllcgtanco to
Ak-Sar-Ben V and tcok the oath required
ot all who work in the fields to which ho
assigns them. They were at the Castle at
nn early hour nnd some of them nro there
yet If their friends have not carried them
homo in ambulances. The merry knights
were in the best of spirits and set an un
usually hot pace for the candidates for
knightly honors.
Ono of the distinguished parties who trod
the burning sands was General Stanton.
After the thing was nil over and the buckIng -
Ing goat was removed to his stall , In confi
dence the general told a close friend that
ho passed through a couple of wars and half
n dozen Indian campaigns , but never In hla
llfo did ho have such a trying time ns that
of getting next to the throne of the king of
Qulvora. However , the general got there
and now ho is glad ho did.

"This Is the hardest line In town for
toning where people wont to get off , " said a
.conductor on the North Twenty-fourth
street line the other day. "You sro the side
streets are not opposite each other , and
when people signal to me Its a regular
Chinese puzzle to know whether they want
the next Btrcot on the east side or the west.
If you ring for a quick stop nt the next
street on ono side , the motorman twists
his arm pretty nearly off stopping the car ,
and then in two cases out of three It is the
next street on the other side that they want.
But If you don't stop the car at once ns soon
as they signal , It turns out that It waa the
street you have just passed that they wanted.
Putting It all together they make a man's
llfo a burden.
"Thero arc a few old stagers on this line
who have figured out that trouble for them
selves , and when they want a street they
point to one side or the other , so I can tell.
These people always get the street they
wish and they make it easy for the con
ductor. "

CIVIL SERVICE FOR SCHOOLS
Teachers Not to Be Compelled to Electioneer
to Hold Positions ,
NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MARRIAGE
rive Ycnrn * Sncccixftil Work In ( he
School * to Hxcmiit Trnclicr * from
MnchlnntloiiK of .lolilemi A l-
Jonrned Meeting Thursday.
The Board of Education took the first
steps In the direction of adopting a system
of civil service rules last evening by add
ing to its regulations ono under which old
and experienced teachers need no longer
spend days and "weeks every year in elec
tioneering. A permanent list is established ,
from which a teacher may only be removed
on a hearing ofwritten charges. A largo
number of teachers were present nnd ap
plauded the adoption of the rule.
Chairman Van Glider of the committee on
rules presented ono report from the com
mittee , signed by only ono member. Ho ex
plained that nt the meeting of the commlt-
tco only two members had been present
and they had been unable to agree , The
rule ho recommended was as follows :
Any teacher or principal who boa taupht
for flvo years may bo placed on the teach
ers' permanent list ; provided , she has re
ceived election by the board for three suc
cessive years and the promotion has re
ceived tbo approval of a majority of the
board. No teacher or principal once placed
on such permanent list shall bo removed
except on charges filed In writing nnd In
vestigated , the accused being given n
hearing.
Hens OITern a Substitute.
Member Hess offered a substitute report ,
substantially the same OR the above , except
that the reference to principals was omitted
and the provision added that in case a
teacher marries she should not bo placed on
the permanent list unless elected after her
marriage. The main reason , among many
good ones , why the rule should be adopted
as ho offered it , Hess said , was that it a
teacher served part of her term as "Miss
Smith" she could not bo placed on the list
as "Mrs. Jones" unless the board so de
cided. He was not opposed to married
women ns teachers , but ho wanted a cor
rect role provided for.
Van Glider made an Impassioned appeal
to the board not to take any action which
would Interfere with so sacred a thing ns the
marriage vow. They could not afford to do
It. Ho had once voted for a discrimination
against married women , but he believed ho
had been mistaken and was willing to cor
rect himself.
Hesa confidently asserted that ho was not
In the habit of talking to the gallery as his
friend Van Glider was. Ho himself was not
fighting married women , ho said. Ho had
been married himself too long for that. But
he did not attach much importance to Van
Glider's remarks , because ho had known that
member to bo on all sides of a question In
the same week.
Attorney Lunt was asked if such a rule
as the one proposed by Hess would not bo
Illegal because at class legislation. He had
not looked the matter upbut - ho was in
clined to think it would be.
He&s raised the additional point against
Van Glider's report that It would establish
principals In their position , from which they
could not be romovcd except by charges and
a hearing. Several of the members ad
mitted this and said they were glad of It.
Hcss's substitute -was Onally voted down ,
only Hess , Irey and Johnson voting for it.
Van Glider's original report waa then
adopted by the unanimous vote of all pres-
1 eat.
Illsrli School Injunction.
The Injunction issued by Judge Scott , re
training the board from proceeding In tbo
rectlon ot the new High school building ,
vas read. Secretary Glllan said that under
he advice of the attorney he had dlscon-
Inued the advertisement for bids on the
ullding. Hess waa displeased at this. Ho
aid the hoard would likely have to pay
much more for the building -when it was
built than itwould have had to pay the
iresent season and 'that the board should
enow how much damage It was suffering
> y reason of the injunction. He proposed to
get the money back if 'tho courts did not
uphold the Injunction.
It was thereupon decided to meet again
'hursday evening for the purpose of con-
ulting the attorney for the board as to what
action the board should take.
A resolution by Moore , to employ E. J.
Cclscy as a Latin teacher in the High
chool at a salary of J150 per month , stirred
up considerable trouble. Member Cowle
was very much opposed to filling up the
High school -with teachers the now prin
cipal might not find necessary. Ho said ho
md talked with Mr. Watorhouso and the
alter had said ho did not betleve two as
sistant principals were necessary.
Itwas pointed out that the resolution
did not make Mr. Kelsey nn assistant prin
cipal , whereupon Cowlo wanted to know why
a mere teacher was to receive $150 per
month. The salary provision was finally
stricken from the resolution , but on ballot
Mr. Kelsey failed of election.
Condition of tlio Fund * .
The report of Secretary Qlllan on the dis-
rlct finances for the year ehowcd the total
resources up to July 1 to have been $426.-
823.07 and the total expenditures $530,548.27 ,
caving a deficit of $103,725.60. A partial cx-
ilanatlon of the excessive expenditures of
.ho year was found in several special ex
penses the board had been called upon to
my during the year , among which were the
'allowing : Architects' fees , $1,200 ; sinking
fund , $18,000 ; special taxes , $3,007.10 ; in
crease in teachers' salaries , $13,795 ; ex
cessive fuel bills on account of the severe
winter , $1,749.31.
The report of Treasurer Edwards was
received , showing the condition of the vari
ous funds on July 1 ,

elouers to consider the repairing or replac

adopted.

the same graded , was referred to the com
mittee on new buildings nnd flics.

OWNERSHIP BY THE CITIES
Subject llrcolven Some Attention nt
( he IlnnilN of ( he .North Side
Improvement Cluli.
Municipal ownership received the greater
portion of the attention of the North Side
Improvement club lust night. The expira
tion of the lease for the waterworks brought
about the discussion. C. 0. Lobeck predicted
that It would bo tbo bone of contention at
the next campaign. The discussion became
general and n debate to get t the pros and
cons was arranged for tlio meeting two
necks hence.
A discussion then followed regarding the
rate of taxation nnd tbo amount of money
allowed for Improvements. M. D. Kerr ex
plained that the Sixth ward was the largest
In the city , covering about seven square
miles , and that the appropriation allowed
was grossly inadequate to make all the Im
provements asked for. Ho eald that he as
commissioner has already upcnt more Uian
hla allowance nnd was liable to a call on
the carpet for it. Some defective sidewalks
were reported and the meeting adjourned.

II. Ballnsky , charged with the larceny of
a watch ns bailee , was discharged by Judge
Gordon. Thomas Evans , the complaining
witness , testified that ho had pledged the
watch to Ballnsky for $2. Ho received no
pawn ticket , as Ballnsky told him It was
not customary to issue tickets for sums of
less 'than ' $5. When he called to get the
watch later ho said Ballnsky claimed he
had bought it of the witness. Ballnsky
reiterated on the stand that Evans had sold
him the watch and that he had disposed of
It to another person. There was sumo ques
tion regarding the value of the time
piece , so Judge Gordon discharged the de
fendant.

The 160 or more people who failed to secure -

nied a Mttlo experience which tbo big crowd
of pleasure seekers on tbo steamer had.
When tbe drawbridge Just above- the Omaha
pier was reached it was found that for some
reason It refused to open wide as usual for
the passage of tbe steamer. It was the fault
ot the storage batteries , and the bridge pre
sented only about one-quarter of Us usual
opening. The maneuvering of the captain
of tbe vessel In getting the boot through
this narrow aperture was interesting , and It

Whenever you see a person who
partly closes the eyelids In looking
sharply at anything , you may know that
that person needs glasses. Louses
which place the eyes In perfect adjust
ment will entirely relieve this trouble.
A lady told me ono day that she had
been punished hundreds of times during
her childhood for this so-called "habit. "
She had been punished for availing ; her
self of the only means which nature fur
nished her for seeing distinctly , She
ought to have worn glasses all her life.
I havu a good many of these cases hero
In Omaha.
