The regular monthly session of the Hoard of Education Is booked for tomorrow night When, by some, tho board Is expected to tako another whirl at tho High school site prob lorn and rescind Its latest action In select Ing. tho Glen avenuo location. There are many who do not bcllevo tho board decided on this location with tho serlouu Intention of placing tho new High school there, but imply voted for this site becauso of having been turned down on tho Oakland avenuo location. Tho thirty days in which an appeal can bo taken from tho nction of tho board In selecting the old High school slto expire next Saturday; Should tho board fail to rescind Ha Action at tho meeting tomorrow night the filing of an appeal can be conn dently looked for, as thcro are several In terested people who will not allow tho new High school to bo built on Qlen avenuo If they cati possibly prevent It. A leading at torney who has not so far figured in tint High school litigation states that it tho board refuses to rescind its action he will reluctantly file an appeal on his own behalf and that of many other interested tax payers. Attorney I. N. Fllcklnger, who prosecuted the fight agalust tho Oakland avenuo site, when asked If he would appeal from the nc tlon of the board in selecting tho old High school Bite, said, "No. I do not think I want to become involved In any more litigation with the school board. I had my sharo of it and now let someono else tako tho matter ip. I was retained to defeat tho Oakland uvenue slto and having accomplished that I urn now out of tho fight. At tho same time I do not bcllevo that the board seriously contemplates building tho school on Glen avenue, although that slto would, In my opinion, bo preferable to Oakland avenuo. I am told that if tho board does not rescind Its action an appeal will undoubtedly be 'taken from tho Qlen avenuo location and tho whole fight will bo opened up again. I have, however, reason to bcllevo that tho members of tho board will get together and select a site that Is central and acceptable to the pooplo In general." "Mr. Mlcy" B-cent cigar.

SEWERS REFUSE TO CARRY THE FL00.-) Water II lie tin Tp Over SlilcvrnlkH, Tiiriilnur I.ota Into I.nkes nml ruths Into Itlvern nntl Mill lint-en. Council Hluffs was virtually flooded hv the heavy rain which poured down In tor rents last night. Tho streets were turned Into veritable mill races and the water surged abovo the sidewalks along several of tho downtown paved streets. The heavy shower in the afternoon caused Indian creek to rise to the danger line And the steady downpour after dark made It overflow Its banks and fill Uroadway and tho adjoining streets nnd avenues with a teething mass of muauy water. The water that poured from tho hi 1 ttrcets after tho first khowcr In the after noon choked tho seweru and South Main street, from Fifth avenue to near tho Hock Islcnd depot became a miniature lake, tho water in places flowing over tho sidewalks and up to the very doors of the abutting ttorrs and houses. Fifth nvonue, from Sev enth street several blocks wcrt, was under water and In places Impascable for pedes trians or teams. On Loth sides of Broadway the water rushed In torrents along tho curbing, making It Impossible to cross the street without getting wet nearly to the knees. This water poured over tho yards of tho Northwestern railway at Twelfth street until that place assumed the appear ance of a largo lake. A few hours later, when the creek Jumped Its tanks, tho trouble Increased many fold ond Uroadway from Seventh street west. whtre tho first break occurred, became a rushing torrent. At places In the North western yards the water was estimated to be at least two feet deep. A number of cel lars on tho north side of Broadway were flooded. Tho electrical storm and heavy rain de moralized the street car service and visit ors from Omaha to tho lake had a trying and damp time of It before they managed to reach the other sldo of tho river. Even tho closed cars proved but poor protection agalnts the heavy downpour of rain, as tho water leaked through the roofs of tho cars and trickled In dirty streams down onto the summer dresses of tho womenfolk. Tho Northwestern road suffered two bad washouts on Its line In this vicinity. A big washout was reported at Honey creek and another near Crescent City. The Sioux City and overland tralnsj wero held here for several hours. Tho motor bridge at Thirteenth street be camo weakened by the flood and about 10 o'clock tho company decided it was unsafe to allow tho heavy cars to cross It. Passen geru were transferred at cither end, having to walk across tbo trestle In tho pouring rain. PAVING QUESTION IS VP AGAI.V. Negotiated In Eastern rreoratk and Iowa. James N.

The city council Is elated to take another wrestle at the street paving question to night. It will have a doublo bill to tackle. owing to action on the group of streets em braced In tho second resolution havlug been deferred from last Friday night to thin meeting. Tho third resolution, providing for tho paving with brick of tho following streets, was assigned for tonight: Graham avenuo from Madison avenue to Falrmaunt park; Broadway, from First street to tho easterly curb line of Frank street; Harrison etrect, from tbo south lino of Washington avenue to tho south curb lino of Benton street extension; Park avenue, from Broad way to Falrmount park; High School avenuo, from Park avenue to Qlcn avenue; Glen avenuo, from Broadway to water works grounds; Pierce street, from First street to Hluff street Bluff street, from Pierce street to north curb line of Ninth avenue; Willow avenue, from Main street to went curb line of Third street; Fifth nvenue, from Main street to west curb line of Third street; Story street, from Main street to Bluff street; Fourth street, from Broadway to Worth street; Tenth avenue, from Fourth street to High street. Protest) against the paving of several of these streetB hare been filed with tho city clerk nnd more, it Is expected, will bo pre sented before tho opening of tonight's ses Ion. Tho streets embraced In the third resolution arc eltuntcd cast of Main street. The streets on which action was deferred lost Frldny until tonight are: Sixth street, from Broadway to Fifth .avenue; Sixth street, from south lino of Eighth avenuo to north curb lino of Sixteenth avenue; Sev etith street, from Broadway to Fifth avenue; Eighth street, from Broadway to north curb lino of Seventh avenue; Fourth avenue, from Eighth street to cast curb lino of Ninth street; First avenue, from Pearl street to Eighth street; Ninth avenue, from Main street to cast curb lino of Sixth street;' Wil low avenue, from Seventh street to Eighth street; Fifth avenue, from Main street to west lino of Eighth street; Sixth avenue, from Main street to cast curb line of Sixth street; Third avenue, from Eighth otrcet to east curb line of Ninth street. Theso are situated west of Main street, the majority being In the Fourth ward, where tho Interested property owners are desirous that they be paved with aspaaltum Instead of brick, no recommended by the council.. Petitions asking that the following streets bo paved with aspbaltum have been filed: First and Fourth avenues; Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets. As far. as' South Sixth street is concerned the alder men are opposed to paving It with as phaltum, as tho city will have to bear a large portion of the expense. The portion opposite the postofllce will bare to be paved at the city's expense, as the government will not contrlbuto to tbo cost of street 1m provements. The noxt block south U bounded on the east sldo by Bayllss park and the cost of the paving opposite this will have to be borne by the city. Two of the park commls stoners signed the petition for aspbaltum but their authority to do to as park com missioners has been questioned. The ques tlon has also been brought up whether the cost of tho paving can be paid out of the park fund or whether tho city will have to provide for It out of tho general Improve ment fund. The matter has been referred to City Solicitor Wadsworth for his opinion Under tho new law no property can bo asocssed for paving or other public Improve ments in an amount exceeding the benefits derived by tho property from such Improve ments. City ofllcla'.s are doubtful If the property on noruo of the streets recom mended paved can stand the cost of paving with asphaltuui, which will be greatly In excess of brick. Pressure Ib being brought on the aldermen by the local labor unions to have all streets paved with brick and, as far as possible with home material. It Is urged by the labor unions that If the streets are paved with aspbaltum much of the money that would otherwise be spent right In this city will go out of here. The unions are also afraid that If osphaltum Is used there will not be the demand for homo laborers as tbero would be If brlok was used exclusively.

Stinilny nt the l.nltc, Owing to the shortness of the curve nt Ninth nvenue n'nd Sixth street, It was found mposslble yesterday to run the large open motor cars of tho Bridge company over the tracks of tho SuburbAn road to Lake Man- awn. The long closed cars were able to mako the curve and several of theso were run through direct from Omaha to the lake during the afternoon. This defect will be remedied at once and the long cars, It is promised, will be running through in a day or so. Owing to the threatening appearance of the weather thcro was a smaller crowd than had been expected at the lake and those that ventured down had to leave early on account of the rnln. Thcro were two games of hall at the lake grounds, one In the morning and the second In the afternoon. In the morning the team from the Ganymede Wheel club of this city beat the Omaha World-Herald ag gregation by a score of 20 to 11.

A rear-end collision occurred at 2:30 this morning on tho Illinois Central, ono mile west of Tarn, In which Conductor Mellvillo of Cherokee was Instantly killed and Brakeman Ilcellgman Injured. The colliding trains wero the "Clipper" passen ger train from Sioux City and a gravel train In charge of Conductor Mellvllle. Tho re sponsibility for tho accident is difficult to fix, as Conductor Mellvllle cannot explain the orders which ho received. The "Clipper" Is due hero nt 10 In tho evening, but a washout this side of Storm Lako caused several hours' delay. The gravel' train from Cherokee was the last train to go over tho places which later be came a mudholo for about half a mile and required six cars of gravel to fill In before the passenger train could pass over. It Is possible thut Conductor Mellvillo was labor ing under tho supposition that It would take all night to repair tho roadbed and was not expecting to bo followed. In any case, he had stopped his train at the Biding west of Tara. Part of tho cars wero on the side track and a few, Including tho box car im provised as a caboose, wero on the main line. Tho "Cllp'per" passenger was follow ing at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, without the knowledge that there was a freight ahead. Engineer Fox of the "Clip per" and his fireman, Dillon, say they saw no light on the caboose of the freight. Tho collision occurred at full spceJ. The caboose was knocked Into kindling wood and Con ductor Mellvllle was Instantly killed. His brakeman, Ilcellgman, was standing In the door and was thrown about twenty feet, but escaped with come severe bruises. The passenger engine was reduced to scrap Iron, but both engineer and fireman, though they clung to their places, were unhurt. The passengers wero shaken up badly, but none wero seriously Injured.
