urn there must be deducted the $6,300 paid
tor the additional ground for the High
chool Bie. This reduces tho total In the
treasury to a little over 50,000. With this
amount of money on hand the board can
do nothing In regard to building a High
ov-uv. u, oven a wara building.
ne entire matter of a llleh .nhnM
tructuro will therefore have to bo left
over to next year when the liquor license

an overlap In the school funds next year
the same as this and tbo only way out

This bond proposition Is not desired bv
a majority of thn board as the district
Is not now bonded at all. The school
houses aro about the only pieces of public
property In South Omaha which nre not
mortgaged and there scctna to bn n frri

mortgage on the school district property

On account of the fnlluro to erect even
a portion of tho proposed High school
building this year the Hoard of Education
will be called upon to rent a number of
outsldo rooms for tho accommodation of
pupils This will bo dono under the di
rection of Superintendent McLean, who will
select locations which he deems mojt
advantageous,

That the financial condition of tho city
of South Omaha Is precarious Is evident
to all who. are conversant with municipal
affairs. Jhst now the finance committee
Is figuring how to get out of the tangle
and the voting of bonds scrniH to bo the
only solution. There Is an existing over
lap of about $12,000 In current expenses
which must be paid by an isstio of general
Indebtedness' bonds. Then thero Is tho
amount due on paving, grading and curb
lng districts declared .Illegal by the courts
which may run close to $10,000. The pro
posed' bonds for tho socalled stock yards
Boworto tho river wlllicost not less than
JC0.000 and the extension of the X street
sower, as proposed, will not coot less than
$10,000. According to tho charter tho
mayor and council may Issue refunding
bonds at any time, but new bonds must
be voted upon by the people.
Tho si'gestlon has been made that a
special election be hold for tho purpose of
voting on the bonds, other than refunding,
but on account of the expenso of a special
election tho question will most likely go
over until the regular election In Novem
ber.
The general bonded debt of the city now
amounts to $307,000 and tho district debt
to $225,000. In addition there Is the float
ing debt, of nearly $50,000, which must bo
provided for when an Issuo Is authorled.

Since tho departuro of W. H. Overton,
who served as secretary for tho local Young
Men's Christian association for a number
of yoan, a-"follng'has sprung up whlch
tends toward the casting aside of tho apron
strings now borno by the local associa
tion. It appean that South Omaha has
only been a branch of the Omaha Young
Men's Christian association. Things do not
seem to be going Just as thoy ought to
and the suggestion has been mado by
Editor Merrill of tho Presbyterian that the
local association dissolve Its relations with
the Omaha association1 and Incorporate for
Itself. Some money pledges given for the
support of tbo association here aro ijot
forthcoming at this time and the manage
ment of affnlrs In Omaha does not appear
to be satisfactory to tho local members.
It Is probnble that there will be a dissolu
tion of the Omaha and South Omaha rela
tions and that the local association will
conduct Its affairs as It sees fit.

The Manufacturers' association of Chi
cago, having exhausted u peaceful means
to secure a reduction of telephone rates,
proposes to try a war In the courts. The
president of the Manufacturers' association
thus explains the grievance;
"The Manufacturers' association feels
that the prices now charged for telephones
aro too high and that these prices are being
charged In violation of law. Tho highest
price allowed by the terms of the ordinance
Is $125 per annum. The argument of the
telephone company to the effect that Im
proved methods have been adopted by It
docs not, In my Judgment, Justify an extra
charge. The great volume of business now
done by the company as compartd with that
dono at the beginning of Its existence
makes necessary Improved methods,
"Orent Improvements are constantly be
ing made In all Wats of manufacture. New
machinery Is being Installed. With this
now machinery goods nre made cheaper and
better. A wider market Is thus created,
more goods arc consumed and price are
thereby lowered, for the greater the volume
the smaller the profit necessary on esch
article.
"The up-to-date business man knows that
ever)' Improvement Is necessary to enable
him to keep pace with tho Increased ex
pectations of tho public. He never hesi
tates to adopt a new Idea If It will Increase
Ills output and lower tho price to the con
sumer. "This suit will be carried to the court of
last resort If necessary and any nttcrapt to
substitute a poor service or In nny way cm
barrars the telephone-using public on ac
count of such proceedings will meet the de-
rent it rt'servec and may result In tho es
tablishment of a new company, tho manage
ment of which would try to moot tho de
mnnds of tho public."
i:ieerlo Current In tlio Home,
Not tho least of the attractive features
of electric lighting Is the facility with
wmcn cut rent can be turned on and off
In living rooms In the majority of case
It .s nbout as easy to use tho hard rubber
keys In the lamp sockets as switches so
In tho walls, but In cellars and basements
It Is much better to have keyless sockets
placed out of reach and to light and ex
tlnguah tho Inmps from the head of tho
stairs. There are two reasons for the em
ployment of keyless sockets In cellars, con
venlcnce and safety, nnd cither Is sufficient
for the exclusion of the regular key socket
in laundries, coal bins nnd furnace rooms
n is infinitely easier to turn a switch as
ono goes down the stairs and havo tho
collnr Illuminated than to spend two or
tnreo minutes fumbling In tho dnrk for the
lamp fixtures There also Is an advantage
In not being obliged to extinguish the
light before leaving the cellnr nnd thus
avoiding stumbling up the steps In the
darkness.
Any ono familiar with electricity will
appreciate tho second reason. Electricity
is no more dangerous than gas or kerosene
oil j In fact one seldom hears of accidents
In dwellings due to tho use of Incandescent
lamps. Suffocation by gas Is very common
and gas explosions are of frequent occur
rence. It Is not long ago that the sldo of
a house was blown out. Carelessness, as a
rule, is the cause of these accidents, hut
tne pudiic continues to burn gas as If
there never had been any trouble. Kcro
scne also has worked havoc when Improp
erly handled. Lamp explosions, however,
nave not lessened tne consumption of oil
There are few cases of harm to persons
using Incandescent lamps, during the period
or eignteen years which thoy have heen
used. Thero is practically no probability
of high tension current getting past the
converters Into houses. Dut there Is no
rule without its exception and It costs little
or nothing to secure protection In case the
house wiring should be overcharged. It Is
not wise to handlo electric fixtures, par
ticularly In the dark, while standlne on
damp concrete or earth. Few cellars have
dry wooden floors and the wisdom of con
trolling tho current from the head of the
stairs, where thero Is no dampness to In
vito grounding, Is manifest.
ucporis snow that persons who used
overloaded wires on the upper floors were
not shocked, whllo those who wero knocked
down stood in tho cellar on a damD earth
noor. crossed currents, as stated, are nt
sucn rare occurrence that there is no ocea
sion for panic, but, while convenience and
safety aro enhanced nt the same time, It
is well to operate cellar lamps In the man
ner nescrinea rntner than to use keys In
tne lamp sockets.

"Did you ever stand looking at a nii.. n
""si ur a wire you knew
was charged with a heavy current and ex
perlence a strong desire to .touch It?" asked
- ..w. uuwn electrician of n group of
friends. "Well, that Is one of tho most
"u""r ,r'lnK about electricity, and one I
havo never heard explained. It 8 a fact,
nevertheless, that almost everyone, on see
lng some bit of electrical annarf.
posed to view, wants to put a flnogr on It to
see If It U loaded.' Time and again I have
..rum peopie say they have a desire more
or less strong to touch the electric switches
In buildings lighted by electricity. There
they are on the wall, within easy reach. In
nocent enough to nil outward appearances.
Kveryono knows thero Is danger In the
touch and turns away, but the desire In
there Just the samo, You would think,
however, that men who work with olec-'
trlclty und know Its dangers would train
themselves to overcome this strange at
traction, Rut I havo known Instances
where electricians havo had to actuallly
turn and run from a machine to prevent
giving away to this peculiar Influence.
"Not long ago a man who was em
ployed to tit and watch the switchboard
n one of the big power plants fell a victim
to this Influence. As he felt the desire
crowing stronger he moved his chair back
from the board, Instead of getting used to
tne work he became more afraid of It.
n. JJ'1" deSlr'' ,0 Wfllk "P " tOUCh
one of those switches grew stronger. At
.? 2 ? . 'I Wfek'' th,s -ounB man re
signed his pcc. He could not stand the
train. It required all his will p0W(.r r
restrain him while he was on duty, and at I
night his nervous system was so upset be
could get no rest. He realized that to touch
cny switch before him meant InstAnt death
and his only safety lay In getting away
from the board altogether. I have not a
doubt that many deaths from electric shock
are brought about In lust this wnv.
"In an Idle moment a person will catch
sight of a switch, a wire or some other
neavuy charged bit of apparatus: this
strange desire to touch It will come over
him and In a moment of weakness he gives
ny anu in an Instant Is dead. We fre
quently read of accidental electrocutions
when there Is no apparent reason why the
victim snouid have touched a live wire,
I believe such eases are attributable di
rectly to this Influence. Just what It Is
or how It works I do not know, but should
tine to nave a satisfactory explanation.'
Mimic from nn Arc I.nntp,
The time may not be far distant when
our cities will be furnished with music t
every corner. A curious discovery, which
results from much electrical research ami
experiment at the central technical college
of the rlty and" guilds of London Institute,
Is reported by V. Duddell. The nre, of
cojrse, Is tho blaze of light which exists
between two sticks of carbon placed end
on and between which the electric current
flows. Two different kinds of carbon are
omployed In tho arc lamps. In the one
kind the carbon stick Is made hollow nnd Is
filled with a powdery material, whllo In thn
other kind the carbon Is homogeneous. Th.i
former type of carbon Is called "cored "
the latter "fcolld." '
Now, the cored carbon arc possesses no
musical soui. it Is deaf to all persuasion.

"cr..asei1 rapidly here there nre countries
in Europe In which telephones aro In far
more general use than here. In Stockholm.
Sweden, ono person In every fourteen has
a telephone, there being more than 20.000
Uephones In n population of 271,000. Every
tobacconist's storo Is a. public call office
and the rates nre very low. England Is far
behind in the matter of telephonefl. there
being only 1 to every 636 of tho population.
In little Switzerland there Is 1 to every 172
persons, but fnr more business Is done over
the telephone In England than In Switzer
land. Experiments covering three yenrs carried
on by Prof. Vnsscllero of La dlromle show
that calcium carbide destroys the disease
of tho grapevine known us phylloxera.
Carbldo is found to be both cheaper nnd

In Herr Plecher's gas battery the electro
motive force Is produced by the combina
tion of hydrogen nnd oxygen, this being
brought about by using the well known
properties of llnely divided platinum. The

of tho clay chambers they combine and
form water, which Is drained nwnv. Kn
electrolyte Is needed. An Induction roll
placed In the circuit Increases the combina

English gas engineers, like thnun In nthor
countries, nre being much exercised in le

ing, he said, the gns engineers have noth
