Money Thereby.
Domestic science will have no place In
the high school curriculum during the school
year about to open, according to the action
taken last night by the Board of Education,
on a resolution offered by Member Homan.
It was decided to postpone the Installation
of the course for one year, at least. Mr.
Homan explained the grounda for his
resolution, saying he considered It unwise
to make the expenditure with the school
fund In tta present condition. The resolu
tion met with considerable oppoHltion, and
carried only by a" vote of seven to Ave.
Member Btubhendorf said It would coat
from $600 to MjO to equip a room for the
course.

Jeanette Boyd, a teacher at the Lake

lection of teachers, aunt In two petitions.
one Raking that she be reinstated, and re
citing her merit an a teacher, and the other
requesting that alio be given a healing be
fore the board In executive sesslan. The
latter request was granted, and the
teachers' committee Instructed to make the
arrangements. Mlm Boyd haa taught In
the Omaha schools for about fifteen years.
Rome Teachers Resign.
Heveral teachers resigned for various
reasons, among them being Laura B.
Pfelffer, head of the high school history
department. 6he gave up the place, she
said. In a communication to the board, to
become an Instructor In history at the
University of Nebraska. A Mr. Bracelln
teacher In history , In the Lincoln High
school, and a graduate of the University
of Nebraska was elected to replace her at
a salary of $110 per month.
Myrtle Q. Smith resigned a position as
teacher to marry, and the board congratu
lated her In a vote of acceptance. Amy
Watts Fetterman, withdrew from duty.
giving no reason, and Amelia Farnsworth
Treadway because she had changed her
residence to Kansas City. Verna C. Blythe
of the Mason school was granted a year's
leave of absence.
For Coachman's Convenience.
Member Christie brought up the matter
of a tentative embargo on the Saunders
school, located at Forty-first and Cass
streets. He eaid that n any parents reaid
ing within the tributary boundaries of the
school had secured transfers for their
children in the past, giving them the prlvi
lege of attending the Columbian school of
Thirty-eighth avenue and Jones street.
This had Interferred with the classes In
the Saunders school and hampered the
work. He said he proposed to investigate
the matter and stop the transfer system. If
possible.
Member Homan added that a year ago.
after school waa well under way, he had
Investigated similar complaints and found
thirty-eight transfers had been granted to
pupils who should attend the Saunders
school. The cause he attributed to the
fact that no pavement runs to the Saunders
School. The neighborhood is an arUto
' cratic one and many of the children are
driven to school In luxurious carriages,
The coachmen object to driving in the mud
jand preferred to go a longer distance and
keep out of the ruck. He urged , Dr.
Christie to proceed with his opposition to
the discrimination.
Ho Forges for High School.
The manual training department, as well
as that of the proposed domestic science,
received a setback last night, when the
board declined to appropriate $1,300 for in
stalling twenty forges at the high school
and adopted the report of the committee
on buildings and property. The report said
further that the question of putting In
twenty blacksmith forges ''in a school In
tended for quiet study and recitation was
a serious one, as the noise and confusion
will be considerable. . Unless further action
la taken the forges will not be forth
coming and a few thousand dollars will
be saved.
The board rejected the proposition to buy
certain land adjoining the Kellum achool.
That agitation is under way to pave
three streets surrounding the high school
with asphaltum was shown in a resolu
tion adopted which authorises the signa
ture on behalf of the school district for
asphalt on Twentieth street from Dodge to
Cass, Dodge from Twentieth to Twenty
seventh and Davenport from Eighteenth to
Twenty-second, provided the work Is to be
finished before November 1.
A special examination for those who wish
to become eligible to teach In the Omaha
schools was ordered for September 1.
A resolution was adopted re-employing
Truant Officer Parker for the school year
from September S at a monthly salary of
$63. S3. A communication from the deputy
commissioner of labor asked for the
truant officer's assistance In enforcing the
compulsory education law.
The contract for cadet uniforms was
warded to Pettlbone & Co., the price for
a complete suit being $11
Saperlatendont Pearse's Report.
Superintendent Pearse submitted his an
nual report. Of the cost of the school serv
ice he says in part:

of Truant Officer Will ranker, and aaya:

The superintendent calls attention to the
necessity for establishing a special school
for delinquents and Incorrlglbles, and while
making no recommendations, urges consid
eration of the matter by the board, pointing
out that active work by the truant officer
serves to make the need more acute.
Pleads for Manual Training;.
Much space Is given up to arguments In
favor of manual training, and he states
that "during last year the need of better
equipment and greater opportunities for
manual training In the high school has
been recognized." Additional rooma for
bench and lathe work In wood and
mech'anlcal drawing have been equipped,
and the capacity of the manual training
facilities doubled. He speaka with pleasure
of the proposed Installation of third year.

Concerning his contention that there la
need for more supervision In the Omaha
schools, the superintendent produces a long
argument. Interlarded with statistics.
showing that each teacher In 1907 had 21
more pupils io average dally attendance
than In 1888. He goes on to say: "The
Increase In average dally attendance of
pupila Is 89 per cent; the increase in num
ber of teachers required Is 79 per cent,
From this It may be seen that In 1903, ex
cluding from the estimate tha klndergar
tens, 'for which, even If he wished to do
so, he could not escape a share of respon
sibility and oversight, the superintendent
of Instruction, who receives the same sal
ary as was paid to that officer In 188, Is
required to supervise and direct the work
of 89 per cent more pupils and 79 per cent
more teachers than was required of the
superintendent in 18S8."
He says that with the policy of employ
ing as far as possible Omaha girls in the
schools the need of supervision Is further
demanded, because It has been necessary
to "train them to guide them until they
could acquire the necessary degree of skill
and certainty In performing their work."
The superintendent says that about 41 per
cent less for the supervision of each teacher
was paid in 1903 than In 1888. and about 48
per cent lees for the supervision of each
pupil. He points to other cities In vlndlca
tlon of his course.

NiOX PACIFIC IMPROVEMENT
Flani for a Great Tunnel Through Bierr
NeTad MomaUinii
FORTY MILLIONS WESTERN BETTERMENTS
Campaign for Chances as Ontllned
Inelades Work All. Along the
Line from Omaha to
an Franclseo.
The Union Pacific will build a tunnel
through the Elerra Nevada mountains In
California along the line of the Central
Pacific. This tunnel will do away with the
forty miles of snow sheds and cost from
$5,000,000 to $7,000,000. Engineers have been
sent Into the country there to make surveys
and report on their work as soon as pos
sible. IS. M. Ilarrlman Is said to have de
termined on this plan, having satisfied him
self on his last trip to the coast of Its feasi
bility. This Information comes from a source
that is believed to be entirely reliable. If
not authoritative. It Is understood that
while the engineers of the Vnlon and South
ern Pacific are at work on the proposition
Harrlman has had outside experts go in
and Investigate tha situation.
This Is only a part, probabjy, the culmina
tion of the general campaign of Improve
ment of the Southern and Central Paclflo
on which tho Union Paclflo entered two
years ago. At that time It waa decided to
devote $40,000,000 to Improvement of these
two lines which fell under Union Pacific
control with the advent of Harrlmanlsm.
What part of this smount has been used
up already Is not definitely known by the
general public; It took about $7,000,000. It
la said, to construct the Lucin cut-off across
Salt Lake, which will be completed by Sep
tember 1. Then for some time leveling of
grades, reductions of curves and general
Improvement of roadbeds have been ex
tensively carried on. This work seem only
to have begun, so that no estimates of Its
cost are available.
Pursuant to original plans, It Is under.
stood that the Southern Paclflo Improve
ments are being paid for out of current
earnings of that road and that the latter
are not being used by the Union Paclflo for
dividend purposes.
Lengthen Rond, lnt Redact Grades.
As to the Sierra Nevada tunnel the great
est advantage to be' gained is not curtail
ment of distance, for it will slightly
lengthen the road; but It will reduce the
terrific grade and abolish those abominable
snow sheds, which la the chief end sought.
The reduction of grade will bring down
the maximum to sixty-five feet per mile
and obviate the necessity, of lifting every
car that runs from Sacramento to Truckee
1,600 feet in the air. It is estimated that
the altitude will be lowered about 600 feet
on tho summit, which will save at least
1.100 feet along the river. ,
At present very extensive plans are being
executed by the Union Psclflc for the re
duction of Its ourves and grades. Squads
of men are scattered (long the road from
he Nebraska line to Ogden, so that when
,11 this work Is completed, the Lucln-
Ogden cut-off across Salt Lake and the
great tunnel through the Sierras In opera
tion the Union Pacific will be in a position
to materially shorten its time to the Pa
cific coast. One arduous and expensive
feature of the proposed tunnel Is that It
will necessitate blasting for forty miles.
In addition to the extensive Improve
ments and betterments being made by the
Union Pacine along tne soumern x-acinc
the former road la also about to construct
a large oil storage house for the Oregon
Short Line at Pocatello, Idaho. Chief En
elneer J. B. Berry of the Union Facirte,
with" other engineers of the Harrlman ays
tem, have plans formulated and the er.tlre
plant mapped out. The general use of oil
Instead of coal for locomotive fuel by the
Southern Pacific has rendered St necessary
for Harrlman to organize and Incorporate
separate company for the supply of oil.
This company has assumed legal title to
the $3,000,000 worth of exploited oil lands of
tha railroad In California and of the $2,000,
000 of its oil wells in Texas. Eighteen nun
dred Southern Pacific engines now are
burning oil, and the remaining 600 will be
transformed Into oil burners. The com
pany. It l "aid. Is saving $70,000 a year by
this process.
Cook Another Pill.
The persistent rumor that the Chicago
Great Western has been bought or will be
bought by the Milwaukee road Is laughed
at by railroad men.
What would the Milwaukee want with
the Great Western T" asks a prominent
railroader. 'The two lines are parallel
nearly alt along their courses. What could
the Milwaukee gain by buying the Oreat
Western? What gate would the Great
Western open to the Milwaukee? The
Great Western gets into .Omaha, Kansas
City, Chlcsgo and the "frla Cities, but so
does the Milwaukee. No, I think the man
who originated that story las another puff
coming."
But this gentleman takes the general
Idea that the Great Western Is for sale and
that the Goulds are either dickering or will
dicker for it. .
The Gould's could use the Greet West
ern in fine shape," said this gentleman,
The Stickney road would afford Gould a
splendid entrance into the Twin Cities snd
It would be a fine feeder for the Wabash
west of Chicago."
While do authoritative or official state
ment has been unearthed It Is thought that
the gcsslps will certainly have the Great
Western sold before long, if it is not al
ready.

ARRESTS IN WADSWORTH CASE
David Hill, Bartender, and Mrs. Wads,
werth Locked l'p fer Cennectlen
with Swindle.
David Hill, a bartender, living at the
Dewey hotel and Mrs. Anne Wadsworth,
residing at 114 South Thirteenth street, were
sr res ted last night. Hill is charged with
being a suspicious character. No charge
haa as yet been placed against Mrs. Wads
worth.
It is alleged by F. P. Miller of Bona
parte, la., that Hill is the party who played
the role of lawyer, and Mrs. Wadsworth is
the woman who signed the bill of sale,
which Is said to have been bogus, in the
transaction l v which xfltler toat Xtno In
confidence game last week. Miller came
to Omaha from Fort Dodge, la., where
he had been running a shooting gallery, in
company with George Gierke, whom he met
In the Iowa town and who brought him to
Omaha with the understanding that they
were to purchase a saloon In partnership.
When the deal had been consummated Hill
appeared on the scene of the transaction.
In Mrs. Wadsworth room, and acted as an
attorney In drawing up the bill of sale.
Mrs. Wadsworth, who It la said In reality
owns the place of business Miller and
Gierke were buying, signed the bill after
It was made out When Miller called at
the place of business, which he supposed
he had purchased, for the purpose of tak
ing possession the following day, he was
Informed by Henry Wadsworth, husband
of the woman who signed the papers, that
the check which Gierke had given for his
share In the deal had been returned unpaid,
and consequently Miller's money was for
feit unless he could raise the . balance,
amounting to about $400, to make Gierke's
part of the trade good. Miller's cash was
paid over to Mrs. Wadsworth. The po
lice now believe that they have all the
parties to the transaction as Wadsworth
and Gierke were arrested last week. "

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Council Ttkei Aotion on the Wittr
Company'! Fracchiia.
PROVIDES ROYALTY TO CITY HEREAFTER
Demand for lies Vladaet Along; O
Street is Recognised by Offering
of Ordinance Declaring
Its Necessity.
With only four members present last
night, the city council transacted consid
erable business. Welsh and Smith were ab
sent.
Under the head of ordinances on first
reading came one extending the franchise
of the Omaha Water company ten years
from October 17, 19o4. This ordinance was
introduced by Queenan. The terms are the
same as now, with the additional proviso
that for the year 1903 the water company
shall pay the city an annuity of $1,000. For
each subsequent year during the life of
the franchise a royalty of $3.U0 will be
paid each year. The ordinance is short
nd states In plain words Just what Is
wanted. There was no discussion on the
ordinance and It waa referred to the Judi
ciary committee for a report. This same
proposition was brought up about a year
and a half ago, but failed to carry. When
the former proposition was made the coun
cil demanded that the city be paid a royalty
and this the water company refuted to do,
so negotiations were dropped. Now that
tha city is to have a royalty It is inferred
that the franchise will be extended.
When the water question had been dis
posed of the council took up the question
of building a viaduct across ths tracks. A
long petition was presented, signed by a
large number of people who have business
at the stock yards. Following the reading
of the petition cams an ordinance declar
ing the necessity for the construction of a
bridge across the tracks from Twenty-sixth
and O streets to the western limit of the
multitude of tracks. Only the Union Pa
cific Railroad company and the Union
Stock Tarda company are Interested In the
ordinance. This ordinance gives the two
companies mentioned the authority to do
whatever grading Is necessary at O street
for the making of an approach and the
building of abutments. Another section
directs the city engineer to prepare plans
for a suitable viaduct across the tracks at
O street and to submit the same to the
city council as soon' as possible. Ap
praisers are to be appointed to estimate
the damages. If any, to the property abut
ting on O street where the proposed via
duct Is be constructed. Nothing In tha or
dinance defines the style of viaduct or the
material It shall be constructed of. This
ordinance was sent to the Judiciary com
mittee for Investigation.
All of the resolutions ordering cross
walks in various parts of the city were
reported on favorably and the council
voted the money. These resolutions call
for the immediate laying of fifty-eight
crosswalks. Mayor Koutsky said that the
work would commence as soon as the ma
terial could be secured.
Five bids for the laying of a sewer In
the alley between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh
streets and from A to F streets
were handed to the street and alley com
mittee. Owing to an error In the adver
tisement which conflicted with the city
charter all bids were rejected and tha city
clerk was directed to re-advertise.
The ordinance for the improvement of C
street was passed.
F. N. Clark, representing Brandels &
Sons of Omaha, reported to the mayor and
council that the firm he represented had
sold the $70,000 overlap bonds to W. J.
Hayes & Sons, of Cleveland, O., requested
the council recognise a transfer of the
bonds. Hayes & Sons deposited with ths
city clerk a certified check for $3,000 as an
evidence of good faith and ths council,
by a vote of all of the members directed
that the mayor and clerk certify to the
transfer. - Mr. Clark said that tve bonds
were all light and that he expected that
the money would be hare to take up the
bonds as soons as the blank bonds are
lithographed and signed. '
A communication was read from a com
mittee from the Ancient Order of United
Workmen asking permission to fence in
Twenty-fifth street from L street to M
street for the purpose of holding a car
nival at the time the new Workmen temple
Is to be dedicated. Queenan moved that
the request be granted and the motion
carried without any opposition. Ths dates
for the fencing In of this portion of the
street hold good for two weeks commenc
ing September 18.
More Sheep Coning.
Monday's receipts of sheep at the stock
yards numbered 13,200 head. All were
housed without difficulty and without tax
ing the resources of the big sheep bams In
the leaat. On account of the late arrival
of the trains carrying sheep the market
was indifferent. The late shipments have
been sorted now snd today it is expected
that the market will be lively, and possibly
prices will be higher. Most of the sheep
arriving came from Nebraska feed lots
and from the Idaho ranges. South Omaha
Is now being looked upon as one of the best
sheep markets in the country and as there
Is a steady demand here for mutton the
packers generally pay good prices. Re
ports from the west show that more sheep
are enroute and that this week will be a
big one In the matter of sheep receipts.
Davis Arqnlres Bees.
Yesterday afternoon Dr. W. L. Davis left
his buggy standing in front of his office
at Twenty-fourth and N streets while he
went up, stairs to secure a satchel of In
struments. When he returned to the
street he found that a swarm of bees had
taken possession of his buggy. As quickly
as possible the doctor unhitched his horse
and left the bees In possession of the rig.
Nets, boxes, tin pans, etc., were produced
by friends of the doctor and the swarm
was captured after about an hour's work.
The capture of the bees attracted quite
crowd and there was considerable amuse
ment, especially when some one would get
stung.
retltionlngr for Viadact.
Another petition for a viaduct across ths
tracks was circulated at the stock yards
and the exchange yesterday. Secretary
Guild had the petition In charge and he
had no difficulty In securing the signatures
of nearly everyone in the exchange build
ing. This petition, like a doxen others will
be presented to General Manager Kenyon
of the stock yards company and ths same
old reply, "We will take the matter up
later" Is expected.
Vladaet Lumber Merc.
The car of lumber for the repairs to the
Q street viaduct errived yesterday morning,
and W. S. King, the engineer In charge of
the repairs to the bridge, stated last night
that work would commence today. Should
the weather remain favorable the viaduct
can be opened on Thursday or Friday of
this week. Mr. King wants to push mat
ters and open the bridge Just as soon as he
can. A large force of men will be put to
work today .laying ths flooring In order
to complete the task aa soon as possible.

FIND THE PAVING ALL RIGHT
Conncllnaen Investigate Twenty-
First Street aad Cannot Sub
stantiate the Charge.
A committee composed of Council men
Hoye, Back, Evans and Schroeder, Comp
troller Lobeck, Assistant City Engineer
Craig and Chief Clerk Grotte of the build
ing department last week Investigated the
charges by J. W. Shaw that the brick pav
ing on Twenty-first street, from Spencer
to Plnkney had not been properly laid.
They found the charges to be unsub
stantiated and a report to this effect will
be mads to the city council. ,
Shaw charged that Contractor Charles
Fanning had used less concrete and less
cement than the specifications called for.
The paving, which was put down this year.
was ripped up at three points to ascertain
whether or not six Inches of concrete had
been placed under the brick. At one point
the required depth was found; at another
a good five Inches, while quite close to it
seven Inches of concerts had been laid,
showing that there had been no attempt
at short measure.
The report of ths Inspector on tho work
is relied upon as evidence that the proper
amount of cement was used..
Mr. Show Is chief clerk at the Henshaw
hotel. He lives on Emmet street and will
be slightly taxed for the Improvement.
When requested by the committee to go
out with It on the inspection, he declined.
saying that he had signed the paper at ths
request of someone he did not know.
Mr. Shaw had this to say regarding the
above last night: "In order that I may not
be placed in a false light I would like to
state that I was only one of a number of
property owners who signed a petition
suggesting an investigation of this pave
ment. I was not the first who signed it.
The petition was brought to me after many
others had signed It. I did not make any
peraonal or specific charge as to the defi
ciency of the paving and do not wish to be
so understood. As to going out to Inspect
the paving with the committee from the
council, the paving Inspector came to my
place of business one day when I could
rot possibly get ,away from my work. I
wanted htm to set a day for us to go out,
but I find that he and the councllmen
went out when not a person whose name
appeared on the petition was there."

UNRELIABLE RUMORS.
Electrio Light Company Warns Pnbllo
Against Knmors In Circu
lation. It has corns to -our notice that those In
terested In preventing this city substituting
electric lights for gas und gasoline street
illumination, at a saving of many thou
sands of dollars per year to the taxpayers,
are resorting to many methods to deceive
tho publlo and thus array Omaha's citlsens
against such a proposition.
We urge our citirens to bear in mind that
no proposition from this company has been
made to the olty, consequently all of the
Idle stories now In circulation are booed
solely upon rumor and not upon fact,
September I the council will receive bids
from the electric light company and tha
gas company. Thus It will be seen that
any discuitslon of this matter at this time
is not only premature, but is entirely based
upon conjecture.
Therefore We caution our cltlxena to pay
no attention to statements of parties inter
ested In defeating a proposition of great In
terest to the city, and regarding which we
court the fullest Investigation as to its
merit and utility. '
We are confident that a public Investiga
tion of the methods of street lighting
which have prevailed In the past when
compared with the system we propose will
result in an overwhelming sentiment, la
favor of our proposition.
