COLLAPSE PART OF REORGANIZATION PLAN
In spite of protects from patrons of tho
Ambler, West Hide, Eckermann, Forest and
Sherman schools thoeo buildings, either
wholly or In part, will remlan closed. Tho
report of tho Investigating committee ad
vlitlng that course was adopted by the Hoard
of Education In special cession Monday
night by tho following vote: Ayes Black,
Iluchanan, Johnson, Smith, Wood, Ilurgcfs.
Nnyo Howard, Tenfold, Teal, ThomaB and
Mooro. Tho districts concerned wero
largely represented and a number of spokes
men set forth their views at length.
Tho report of tho special committee was
presented by Chnlrrhnn Johnson, who had
visited all the schoolo concerned, together
with his colleague, Members Smith and
niack. Mr. JohnHoit took up each com
plaint nindo by tho petitioners, making
clear tho fact that there was no hardship
inflicted upon any school patron. Ho said
that pupils transferred from the Forest to
tho Honcroft school wero compelled to wHlk
no further than children In other portions
of tho city and that the rooms occupied were
sufficiently largo for tho demnnrt made
upon them, Tho ventilation is uh satis
factory as In any other annex In the city.
ho added, depending largely, of course, upon
tho enro nxerr.lscO by tho teacher,
In tho Ambler, Went Side and Kckcrmann
districts, wliere the patrons regard the trans
portation of tho children as a hardship, Mr
Johnson suld -the wagons upctl were com
fortable nnd wer- so shielded with canvas
covers that children might ride In them
moro warmly nnd safely than if they pro
ceeded on foot. Of tho fifty-six signers of
tho Ambler petition Mr. Johnson found that
only twenty-three were school patrons and
the rest wero for tho most part Interested
In real estate. The children were in no
rase forced to walk further than eighteen
blocks, n distance no greater than that nec
essary In many other districts In the city.
At tilt- Hlienimii Heliool.
At the Sherman school, whoro It Is desired
that u fourth room bo opened, eight chil
dren had been transferred to tho Saratoga
school und several of these aro obliged to
walk two miles. Tho committee recom
mended that provision be made for tho
transportation of these children and bcllovod
that the arrangement should bn satisfactory
when this mutter was attended to.
In conclusion Mr, Johnson said the com
mittee believed the new system to bo for
tho best Interests of the children, both from
a physical anil educational point of view.
Tho plan, he said, would n.ivo money to the
taxpayers and give better education to their
children. When seventeen pupil in ono
room wore scattered through six grade,
Mr. Johnson added, tho facilities wero no
better than those nfforded In any cotiutry
school, it was ostlmuted that the plan
would effect a saving of $3'ji) per month,
which would be Increased to $120 per month
next year.
Ten minutes wero then allotted each,

of tho cajio, the first statement being inado
by II. J. Minds in behalf of tho Forest

A correspondent waited on Mr. Allen re
cently and asked him for tho facts of his
case.
Have you entirely recovered from your
kidney troubles?'' Mr. Allen was asked after
some preliminary conversation.
"Thanks to Dodd's Kidney Fills I am glad
to say I have," replied the treasurer. I havo
tried many medicines In my time but Dodd's
Kidney 111 la nre tho best mediclno of the
lot."
"How long did It take for Dodd's Kidney
l'ills to effect o. euro In your case?"
Mr. Allen Grew emphatic.
"Would you believe It? ono box settled
my ense. Yes, Blr. one box of Dodd's Kidney
Fills fixed me after dollars and dollars worth
of other medicines had failed."
"Has relief been permanent?"
"Yes, entirely so, though I still tako them
occasionally as u preventive against tho
trouble returning. 1 know they aro tho best
of wdlcliu nnyway. and they aro harmless
t any time. Hut I have not experienced any
of tho old symptoms, sleepless nights and so
forth, since I finished that fltlrst box."
"Then you recommend Dudd's Kidney l'ills
o other sufferers as it sure euro for kidney
dUruse?"

The second annual charity ball given un

success lu every way. Besides being ono of
tho most important social functions of the
season, tho affair was n grand financial suc

eral hundred dollars. It Is estimated that
fully 800 people attended tho reception and
ball. Ablo committees wero In charge of nil
of tho arrangements and the affair was un
usually pleasant.
Tho reception committee was composed of
many of South Omaha's representative citl
zens and everything posslblo wns done to aid
tho guests In enjoying themselves.
Special attention had been paid to tho
decorations and tho spacious dancing hall
was resplendent In colors. Over 500 yards
of bunting wore used in draping the hall
nud the effect when the hundreds of lights
wero turned on was dazzling. Tho electric
ians had dono their work well. In addition
to the largo number of stationary lights in
the hull tho electrical commlttco placed
nearly 300 colored globes. Thcso were ar
ranged In tasteful designs in tho corners
nnd hung In festoons from tho ceiling. Pot
ted plants anil cut flowers occupied promi
nent places nnd ns tho supply was boun
teous tho effect was Indeed a most pleasing
one.' Tho credit for the handsome decora
tions belongs principally to the commlttco In
chargo of this work, which was composed
of Mrs. D. L. Holmes, Mrs. T. H. Ensor,

It Is expected, however, that this deficiency
