nepreaentatlvcs of the city and of the
Union Pacific and1 Burlington roads reached
a satisfactory compromise Wednesday after
noon on the claims for viaduct maintenance
which have been In controversy for years.
The attorneys for the roads made n verbal
promise , subject to the approval of the exec
utives over them , to pay the city $20,000 as
eon as a complete and final agreement shall
havotboen .reached as to the building of the
Sixteenth street and other viaducts and the
closing of Seventeenth street.
The concessions on the part of the city
consist practically of a cancellation of the
Itomti of lighting and watchmen , which the
city atlorney nnd other officials have long
ngrocd could not bo properly taxed against
the roads , nnd the Items of "ordinary re-
palm , " which the law as It existed prior
to 1801 obliged the city to pay. The roads
on tholr part agreed to add to the undisputed
portion of the claim , which Is Jlu.119 , two
items of painting for $3,500 and' ' $1,400. The
Bum thus made up amounts to about $60
over the $20,000 agreed upon , but the city
committee v.nn willing to scale the compro
mise off to on even figure.
The roads were represented by Judge
Kelly and Judge Baldwin of the Union Pa-
clflo and Assistant General Solicitor Kclby
of the Burlington , and the city by the spe
cial committee appointed for the purpone ,
consisting of the president of the council ,
the chairman of the council finance commit
tee , the city attorney , city controller and
city engineer. Judge Kelly opened the con
ference with the statement that It was the
detlro of tbo roads , for the purpose of this
conference , ito consider each Hem of the
( f oV-lm by Itsslf and without any reference
i to the tlmo which some of the Items have
run. Ho wished It understood that any
tentative propositions that might be made
were not to bo held as prejudicing the case
of the roads should no agreement bo con
cluded and also that tbo final agreement
should bo subject to the approval of the- head
of each road. The city ofllclals agreed to
this.
, . Judge Kelly called attention to the fact
f that prior to 1891 there was no law on ths
T statute book's authorizing the city to charge
the roads far the maintenance of viaducts
nnd that prior to 1893 there was no action ol
the. council on record showing that the city
had done so by regular process. The roads
admitted and had1 been willing to pay a
claim of $15,119 , but they maintained that
they should not bo charged for lighting or
watchmen. In the $7,400 remaining after
the Items of lighting and watchman there
wore some Items the roads objected' ' to am !
nil these Items were expenses Incurred be
fore 1SD3 , before which time the city had
never made a demand upon the roads for
tholr payment. The city had been wlthoul
the authority to do so until 1891 , and had no
Bource of revenue for a viaduct repair funi
except the street car company.
I'lrnt I'roiinnttlon or the
The road3 then made their first proposi
tion , which was to add to the undisputed
portion half of the amount remaining In
dlsputo after the elimination of the light
ing and watchmen items , or a total amount
of $15,855.72.
' '
City Att'orney'Connoll asked Judge Bald
win If Jio wouldyadml that thp painting of
the ' vladucta * " "
wag "extraordinary repair ,
such aswas not contemplated In the law
imposing on the city the expense of "ordi
nary repairs. " Ho admitted that painting
might fairly be called an "extraordinary
repair. " Mr. Connell then proposed that
the roods , Instead of dividing In hall
the undisputed balance , should allow the
two Hems of painting and add them to the
undisputed portion , arguing that such an
nrrangement would bo entirely just if I
rwaro true , as Judge Kelly said , that the
painting was not an ordinary repair. The
I amount of such a compromise would be
I * " 4 120,069.
After a little conference the attorneys for
the roads virtually accepted the city's offer
by agreeing to pay $20,000. Tbls was satis
factory to the members of the committee
oaeh of whom expressed his conviction tha
the settlement would be a just ono. Presi
dent Blngham qualified his approval , with
the statement that by Itself and apart from
> tbo viaduct matter , be considered the settlement -
tloment d good ono , but that otherwise ho
( would not bo willing to approve of it.
It was then mutually agreed that the at
torneys and the committee would recotn
taend to the heads of the roods and to the
city council respectively the acceptance am
approval of the result.of the meeting. The
attorneys for the roads reminded the city
officials that the settlement of the claim
upon the basis agreed upon was contlngen
on the previously expressed determination
of the city not to allow the closing o
Seventeenth street to bo a bar to the via
rtuot agreement. In reply City Attorney
Connell said that It would bo a breach o
faith on Uio part of the city not to stant
by the resolution which had made this coo
feronca possible.

Mrs. J. T. King of 1516 North Twenty-
elgbtb street says : "Three weeks before
I got Doan's Kidney Pills at Kuhn & Co.'s
drug store , corner of Fifteenth and Douglas -
las streets , I could hardly crawl about tha
bouse on account of pain In the smalf of
my back. I wore plasters all the time , but
they did me no good. When sitting or
reclining I could scarcely get on my feet ,
nd I attribute the cause to on accident
when I fell off the sidewalk , broke a limb
and Injured my back , Doan's Kidney Pills
fl at fleet helped me and finally disposed of
the last attack. It requires very Htlfe

maVo It easy to find out how muny and
what books A particular student has charged
ip to him ,
l > a t year text books wore charged to the
eacher In whoso class they were used and
siued by the teacher to the puplla Each
ono bore a number , put on In Ink , and It
lecame common for the pupils to change
hose numbers when a book became damaged.
When a pupil handed a book back tbo name
was checked oft the teacher's list and credit
was given for the book. Ijater It might be
discovered thnt the book had not been care-
ully used and the teacher might wish to
ilaco the blame , but upon Investigation It
would bo discovered that there were two
books with the came number and the teacher
would bo unable to say which had been In
loesesslon of the rightful owner ot that num-
) or. The book , with the number originally
) erne by the damaged book , would be miss-
ng , but on the list the pupil charged with
hat book would bo found1 to have been
becked off and so could not be charged with
delinquency.
This year every book Is listed In three
card catalogues. One la arranged by titles
of the books and contains a card for every
rook. The position of the card shows
whether the book Is In use , In the library
or worn out. If It Is In use the number Is
ollowcd Into the second catalogue , which
gives the name of the pupil using It. The
bird catalogue , arranged according to the
names of the pupils , contains n card for each
book In use nnd all the cards for each pupil
arc close together. With the aid of this
catalogue It Is the work of but a few mo-
nonts to make out a complete list of the
> ooks for which a certain pupil Is rosponsl-
> lo. This system of fixed responsibility Is
rolled upon to work n radical reform In the
manner In which the books are treated.
The numbering of the books themselves IB
ileo done according to system. The number
s put on In three specified places with a
numbering machine which stamps with In
delible Ink. To cause a book to lese Its
dcntlty would bo a practically Impossible
: nek , as It would Involve the erasure of
the three numbers and the Imitation of a
stamp letter which Is hard to Imitate.
Among all the numbering machines In Omaha
similar to the ono In use at the High school
there Is believed to be but ono which exactly
duplicates Its letters and that ono Is In a
safe place.

Cropn In Greelcr County.
J'iNv Keow' trom two miles north of
North Loup on the edge of Qreeley county ,
came Into town yesterday and brought
with him tome flne specimens of this year's
orop. Mr. Keow states that he had put In
sixteen acres of potatoes this yeor , and
expected to gather In about 3,000 bushels.
At a price of 2S cents a bushel , delivered at
North Loup , the sixteen acres will bring
him J750. Two acres that ho planted In
onions will yield , about 600 bushels , and
from these he expects a handsome profit.
Mr. Keow brought with him a half a
sackful of the potatoes and onions , and
finer specimens have not been , scon In this
dlty for a good many years. The potatoes
are large and solid , requiring little or no
wadWnir , and are of a most unusual size.
As they were raised ! without Irrigation
they are not -stringy and woody. The
onions , too , are of a size seldom seen.
Mr. Keow says that hls < corn crop Is not
unusually large , that planted on the high
land having ben burned , but that on the
lowland Is magnificent , though the yield Is
not as great as It 'has ' been In other years.
The hot weather retarded the ear growth
somewhat , although the growth of the
stalks has been unusually large.
Speaking of the outlook 'in ' Greeley county
ho said that most of the farmers enjoyed
the benellts of thio irrigation ditches' , al
though many of them nearly lost their
crops by reason of the failure of the ditch
during the hot weather. These people , ho.
thinks , will be able to pull out about even
on the crops , whllo these who were
more fortunate with the ditches will
have an Immense crop.

J. D. Clnrk of Papllllon has- furnished the
police with a description of the burglar who
entered his house Tuesday night and stoTo
a valuable gold watch. Mr. Clark said the
burglar cut the screen from a back window ,
and after climbing Into the kitchen opened
the rear door to have a ready exit In cose
of an emergency.
The prowler then made a tour of Inspec
tion through tbe house and In one of the
rooms secured the watch from a bureau
drawer. When moving about the room
where the CUrks slept ho awakened them
and Mr. Clark , clambering out of bed , male
a dash to catch him. The man ran for tbe
open door , and as his pursuer was not clad
In garments suitable for out-door appear
ance , he escaped. A reward of $25 Imj berm
offered for the recovery of the tlmcolrvo ,
which was an heirloom.

: ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
Slnoo Monday the. public schools have been
filling up and the lack of room , to properly
care for puplla becomes more noticeable
every day. When school opened on Mon
day 145 High school pupils presented them
selves , but this number has now been In
creased to 1GO. Of this total sixty-five are
taking the commercial course. This largo
number of High school pupils causes con
siderable crowding , as onlyfour recitation
rooms , besides a typewriting room , are al
lotted to the High school class In the Cen
tral school building. One more recitation
room is badly needed tor the High school
class , but nothing can be- done to relieve the
pressure until itho new building at Twen
tieth and O la completed. Superintendent
Wolfe Is doing the best he can to take care
of all of the pupils and Is giving general
satisfaction In this respect. Frank Soy-
kora , the newly elected prnclpal of the High
school , la maklug himself qulto a favorite
already , and appears to be entirely compe
tent to Imncllo the school In the manner In
which Superintendent Wolfe desires. It Is
expected that raoro children will ettoml
school In two 'weeks from now , and what to
do with the Increase is a question which
the Board of Education will bo called upon
to seriously consider at the next meeting.
Several outside rooms nave already been en
gaged , but It may bo necessary to make tem
porary arrangements for other rooms pend
ing tbo erection of the proposed building.
When Borne of tha basement rooms , which
are atlll Incomplete , are ready the pressure
may be relieved slightly , but not enough to
make any material difference. The number
of pupils Increased so rapidly that several
additional buildings wll be needed to prop
erly oaro for the children. Unless a new
High school Is orcctod next year at least two
more ward schools 'will have to be built. A
bond proposition for the erection of a High
school will hardly carry at this time , but In
come circles It Is thought that If the Board
of Education submits a proposition at the
coming fall election for the construction of
two ward school houses , then the people will
endorse the movement. By the erection of
ward buildings the overcrowded condition of
the Central school could be relieved and
more room given to the High school class ,
thus obviating for the tlmo being the neces
sity of a High school building. This plan
was talked of last spring , but as the High
school project waj up nothing came of It.
Now the members of the board nave- ample
time In which to bring about the submission
of a bond .question for ward schools before
the November election. If the > matter Is
taken hold of at once it can probably be
brought to a successful termination ant
without any great expense to the school dis
trict.
Work of the Cilia Company.
Tbe Omaha G a company has secured
permits for the laying of mains on the
following streets : Railroad avsnuo , from N

U street , from Twenty-fourth to ( Ufoy west ;

ty-fifth to alley west ; Q , from Twenty-
fourth to Thirty-third. Quito a proposition
confronts the company la connection with
the laying of mains from Twenty-sixth to
Twenty-seventh on Q. It lion been decided
to make n small aperture In the stone
abutment at the Intersection of Twenty-
sixth and Q , thus allowing the main to
como through on the eamo lav-si as laid
from Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth. A
straight drop of twenty-five or thirty feet
ll bo taken , the main being allowed to
rest against the abutment. The main
proper Is to bo encased In a largo Iron
> lpo , reaving an air space between. An
outsldo covering will then bo provided for
ho pipes. This precaution Is necessary In
order to prevent the cold weather from af
fecting the flow of gas. Prom the abut
ment on the cast the main will exUnd

tion In the matter of repealing the Iran-
chlso granted to this company last April.
The hearing lasted for a day and n halt

Lho court evidently deemed It necessary

An ordinance has now passed Its first read
ing repealing this franchise , and the pros
pects are that it will go through unless
the courts prevent such action. The city
ofllclals contend that the franchise ordi
nance was passed before the company com
piled with certain legal requirements. It
Is stated hero that the neglect of the com
pany to fulfill these requirements Invali
dates the ordinance.

NO SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE I i
Unexpected Happens and the Two Partial
ATS Still FAT Apart.
NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED BY CONFERENCE
Committee from CnrpcntoiV Union
CnlU on the Contrnotom ntul
to n Mlnuniloriitniul-
Inir Nnthlnic I * Done.
The unexpected happened Wednesday
evening rclatlvo to the carpenters' strike ,
for the controversy not settled , m vras
anticipated It would be. A wmnilttoo from
the carpenters' union waited upon the con
tractors under the Impression thnt the
bulldcrnvero ready to make thorn a prop
osition , whllo the contractors thought the
committee called to make a counter propo
sition to the one they made Wednesday
night. The result ww that nothing was ac-
comprishcd and the mutter Is ag far from a
settlement today as It was a week ape
Tuesday , when the carpenters laU down
their toots.
As the matter now stand * the contractors
lave made the carpenters a proposition ,
which wan rejected by the union , and no
counter steps at arbitrating have come from
.hem. The contractors made the announce
ment Wednesday evening that they will not
recolvo another committee from , the union
unless such ft committee comes to them
with full power < to act and effect n settle
ment of the trouble then and there. The
contractors feel that they have made a
step toward a actttlcmont and as their offer
was rejected and no counter one made them
they will commence building again as soon
na they can get men , putting to work till
who may ask for a Job , paying them HO
cents nn hour and not Inquiring whethec
they belong to the union or not
The carpenters do not fear any such steps
taken by the buirders. as they do not think
the contractors dare to thus run the
chances of offering an affront to the oilier
building unions and precipitating n. general
and full-fledged strike. To that comes tuo
nldo of the Building Trades union. They
feel that the matter could bo cpecdllBet -
tied If the carpenters would meet the con
tractors half way and as no such steps
have yet been taken In that direction
they do not feel as though they were called
upon to longer remain Idle. The trades
union will meet tonight , when It Is ex
pected that It win take some decisive ac
tion In. the matter ono way or the other.
AVorlc at the Exposition.
"When the carpenters' committee met with
the contractors they admitted that union
men were -working for the Exposition com
pany for 30 cents per hour. At the car
penters' headquarters Itwas learned that
there was nn agreement entered Into -with
the Exposition company some tlmo ago
whereby the carpenters working on the
grounds were to receive 30 cents per hour.
Pending an Investigation relative to the
lifo tenure of that agreement , the carpenters
have remained at work , with the understaniT-
Ing from the exposition people that It that
agreement has expired the man are to bo
paid 35 cents In the future ; but If the con
tract calls for the life of the exposition , the
union irlll live up to HB agreement and1 the
union men will bo permitted to work for 30
cents an hour until the exposition cloaca.
At the contractors' headquarters it was
stated that bricklayers would return to work
today on the deaf and dumb asylum am
ithat joists would bo laid upon that job by
men who are willing to work for 30 cents
per hour. It was also stated that work
would be resumed this morning on the Fa
cine street achool building , both bricklayers
and carpenters going to work , the latter to
receive SO cents per hour.
At the Labor tcmplo It was stated that
the demand for carpenters out of town Is
practically greater than the sirpply and that
by Saturday there will not be an Idle man
In town , those who cannot get 35 cents In
the city going out of town to work.
The building association will hold a spe
cial meeting this morning at 10 o'clock ,
while the carpenters will not meet In reg
ular session until next Tuesday night.

CURES AFTER DOCTORS FAIL.
Trinchera , CoL , Dec. J5 , 1898.
I wrote you last summer and you advised me to take Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught. I have taken three bottles of
the Wine of Cardui and four packages of the Black-Draught , and I am glad to let you know that I am better ever since I took
the first nine doses. "When I first commenced taking your medicine I was in bed. I tried several doctors and they didn't do me
any good , but now I can do all my work and not get tired. I think I have had all the troubles
that could afflict a poor woman ; my back hurt , as did my head and kgs , and I had sick stomach
every time I ate anything. Now I can eat anything and not hurt me and don't get tired. I think
this is the best medicine that was ever discovered. Mrs. CORA ROBINSON.
And yet this case of Mrs. Robinson's Is only one of thousands. Every day In the year Wine of Cardui accomplishes
wonders for weak , suffering women , where doctors failed to bring any permanent relief. Doctors do the best they can , but
Wine of Cardui is the one natural remedy for female diseases. It contains the vital elements necessary to strengthen and regulate
the delicate menstrual organs. Hence it never fails to benefit seldom fails to cure. With the convincing evidence in favor of
this wonderful remedy , no suffering woman should hesitate to avail herself of it. That frightful backache , and those dreaded
pains in the head and legs quickly vanish before the magic Influence of Wine of
Cardui. For advice in cases requiring special directions , address , giving symptoms ,
