SARGENT'8
Look for t lie Bear,
At the reorganization of the Hoard of
Education last night J, P. Hess was unani
mously elected president. The former presi
dent, S. F. Henry, and J. J. Stewart and J.
K. Cooper stepped down and out and tho
nowly-elected directors, T. J. Shugart, W.
S. Cooper and S. S. Keller, took their seats
after being sworn In.
President Hess announced these standing
committees:
Teachers and Hulcs-Sargent and Macrne.
Finance and Accounts Keller and Swalne.
Janitors and Hupollcs Swalne and 8hu-
eart
icxi hooks Macrae and cooper.
Fuel nnd Heating Bhugart and Keller.
Buildings and Grounds Cooocr and Sar
gent.
The first business transacted by tho new
board was to re-elect Prof. V. N. Clifford
superintendent of tho city schools and Prof.
C. Ensign principal of the High school
for tho ensuing year.
The following resolution, submitted by a
commltteo from tho local Typographical
union, was presented:
Uesolvcd, That It Is the renso of tho Board
of Education that thero Is no objection to
having the label of the Typographical union
placed on- tho reports nnd printed matter of
tno nouru intemtca (or general distribution
and that tho labol bo reaulred In all future
coutructs fur printing and printed matter
purcnascu d- mc ooaru.
Some of the members questioned tho right
of tho board to adopt sueh a resolution,
and on motion of Momber Swalne the reso
lution was reforred to tho committee on
text books to socurc a legal opinion and
roport at the next meeting.
Tho contract for wiring the new High
school building for electric lighting was
awarded to Israel Lovctt on his bid of $13.
Among tho bills allowed was one for $28
for disinfecting tho Avenue B school and
ono tor $35 for disinfecting tho, North
Eighth street school.
J. J. Stewart, ono of tho retiring directors,
presented a bill tor $160 for attorney fees
In defending tho district In the suit brought
by I,. C. Smith to recover the cost of a
ventilating fan placed some threo years ago
In the old High school building. The bill
was referred to the finance commltto).
The Judges and clerks who acted at the
recent school election wero ordered paid
$5 each. .
Omaha Hoards a Model.
At tho last meeting of tho board It was
decided to place composition blackboards In
the now High school building, but several of
the members are now in favor of using the
natural slate boards, such as are being in
stalled In 'the new schools In Omaha. A
representative of a firm dealing In natural
slate blackboards addressed the board oa
the subject. From the discussion that fol
lowed the board will evidently rescind Its
previous action when tho matter comes up
at tho next meeting. Member Sargent
said that be and Superintendent Clifford
had measured the spaco required for black
boards In the new high school and that It
only amounted to 2.400 square feet, 'which
was about 2,000 square feet less than first
estimated.
After the routtno business had been dis
posed of President Hess called attention
to a number of mattera that tho different
committees would have to attend to at once.
Krsrea Quick. Insurance.
With regard to the Insuring of the scho'dl
buildings as authorized by the vote of the
people at the recent election, he suggested
that this ought to bo attended to without
any delay, as It a bulldlnj; should bo burned
down btfore It Is the board would bo cen
sured. He read a. list showing tho esti
mated values of tho different school build
ings as follows: New High school, $40,000;
old High hcbool, $)0,000; Washington ave
nue, ItO.OOO; nioomer, $40,000; Twentieth
avenue,. $35,000; Third street, Tierce street,
North Eighth streot, Avenue B and Second
avenue, $15,000 each; Thirty-second street,
$8,000; Harrison street, $8,000; Madison
avonue, $7,000; Eighth avenue, $8,000; Cut
Off. $1,800; Woodbury, $800; Qunn, $700;
Clark, $'i00.
No action was taken In the matter, al
though several members expressed the
opinion that the proportion of Insurance
carried on the schools remotest from Are
protection should be larger than that on
the buildings centrally situated. The com
mltteo op buildings and grounds will rec
ommend at the next meeting 'the amount of
Insurance to be carried.
Regarding the furnishing of tho new High
school. President Hess recommended that
It be furnished throughout with now suats,
desks nnd the other necessary equipment.
Free Text Hooks.
Calling attention, to the free text books
voted for by the people, he suggested that
the finance committee look Into tho mat
ter and make the necessary arrangements
to provide the funds for establishing tho
system, The president said the people
had an erroneous Idea that the free books
were to be distributed right away, but this
could not bo done until the necessisry funds
wero In sight. He thought that some of the
books might he provided at the opening
of the next school year, In September.
To tho committee on buildings and
grounds ho suggested that It take the neces
sary steps to dispose of the school prop
crty authorized by tho vote ot the people
and Instructed the committee to Investigate
the district's titles to the property to be
sold and to report at tho next meeting.

Dyspepsia Cure
Dyspeptics cannot retrain health and strength by living upon
half rations. They must eat plenty of good food and digest It.
To enable them to do this they should use something thai will
help the stomach do Its work. Kodol Dyspepsia Curb Is such a
preparation. It digests what you eat and supplies the sub
stances needed to build up the worn out digestive organs.
Prof. J. Ivlson, of Lonaconing, Md., says: "For thirteen
years I suffered agony from dyspepsia and neuralgia of tan
stomach. I tried almost everything and doctors drugged me
nearly to death with morphlno, but temporary relief was all I
'could obtain till I was advised to use Kodol Dyspspsia Cttrk.
The first dose gave me relief. I bought my first, bottle In
March, 1900, and I havo not had a slngio pain since. It has
completely cured me. I cannot endorse it too highly."

Granite nloeka.
Mayor Jennings yesterday notified Gen

company's tracks at a number ot places
on South Malu street must be replaced In
proper and safe condition. In many
places the condition of the paving Is
dangerous and numerous complaints havo
been lodged with the city authorities
about It.
When putting down the new track on
South Main street In relaying the granite
blocks the workmen left a narrow space
between the rails and tho blocks along

filled with cement, which has gradually
been ground to pieces by wagonwheels
Heavy hauling wagons when turning off the

HBV. WILLIAM J. CALFBB CALH5D.
Huron Clergyman Wanted at (lie
Itroadvrar Melhodlsl.
Rev. William J. Calfee of Huron, S. D.,
has been called to the pastorate ot the
Flroadway Methodist church to succeed Rev.
Myron C. Waddell, who Is in California
for his health.
Reports from Rev. Mr. Waddell make it
certain that he will be unable to resume his
pastoral duties, and the directors decided
to extend a rail to Rev. Calfee to nil the
pulpit for th remainder of the pastoral
year. It Is expected that at the meeting
of the Des Moines conference In September
he will be appointed to the charge here.
Rev. W. J. Calfee Is woll known In this
city,' having conducted evangelistic meet
ings at the Uroadway church In which he
was assisted by his wife, who Is an ac
compllshed mission worker. Rev. Calfee
has been filling the pulpit ot the church
several Sundays since Rev. Mr. Waddell
went to California.

ent from other Vroierty that It cnAt be
treated allko. Thd'whple theory of attempt
ing to arrive at the value of railroad prop-
erty by a computation with regard to mar
ket price of stocks and bonds Is fallacious.
Tho value of stocks represents a great
deal else than the railroad property which
Is assessable.
Ho also drew u flue distinction between
value and, coat. Ho asked that the as
sessment on the Milwaukee be not. In
creased over last year, and asked only fair
treatment. J. H. Daniels, for the Omahn
Drldge and Terminal railway, explained In
a fow words the situation with regard to
that company. K. C. Hubbell, for tho Des
Moines Union railway, asked thai It b
taxed on a mileage basis the same as other
roads. Mr. Woodruff, for the Great West
ern, presented nn Interesting argument on
the whole question of taxation. Ho con
tended that railroad property Is assessed
as high as other property In tho state
and already bears Its full share of the bur
dens. Tho Union Pacific asked for a re
ductlon of its assessment by $100,000 on
