mission, the uasetts tomorrow will ssy:

from the arbitration commission. The com- I
mission waa an arbitration tribunal such I
as could not be expected to decide on the I

United States were hardly open to convic

City.
This evening the Board of Education will
meet In adjourned session, the purpose of
the meeting being to receive bids for tha
excavating at the new high school grounds.-
Bids for this work will be received at the
board rooms up to I o'clock tonight The
contractor who aecurea the work will be
required to take up the sod and replace
the same. City Engineer Beal has gone
over the plans of the architect and esti
mate, that about 5.000 yards of dirt will
have to be moved. This dirt will ba left
on the school property for tha purpose of
filling In low places when tha building la
constructed. .In these bids for excavating
the Board of Education reserves the right
to reject any or all bids.
On the lasue of 1100.000 of bonds for a
high school the district haa received 130.000.
The balance of the amount will be for
warded aa needed. The city engineer has
mad. an estimate of the cost of the ex
cavating, but he will not make the figures
public, as he wants to see what tha board
will do with the bids.
Ther. Is a general desire to see a new
school house erected, and especially a high
school with ample accommodations, but
ome business men cannot understand why
th. board wants to go ahead and excavate
at this Urns of the year, when the con
tracta for the building have not been let
No Mee-tlnar Taesday Right.
There will be no meeting of the Fire and
Police board on Tuesday night, as an
nounced, on account of the absence of
Chairman Vansant. Mr. Vansant said last
night that he expected to return home
Wednesday, and If he deemed It necessary
he would call a meeting for Wednesday
night. The object of this special meeting
Is the taking of some action on the patrol
box system. The Nebraska Telephone com
pany has submitted a contract and this
contract has been approved by the board
unofficially. At the special meeting to be
held It is thought that official r.ction will
be taken. Chairman Vasant said that he
was of the opinion that the board would
recommend to the city council that ten or a
dosen boxes be located. When this is done
It will be up to the city council to do the
rest and provide the funds.
The board thinks that by laying off one
policeman it can pay for the patrol boxes,
and then have a little money in reserve,
aa the boxes will cost only ISO a month,
wnue the policeman gets 170.
With the Installation of patrol boxes It
Is hoped that In a short time funds may
be secured for the maintenance of a patrol
wagon.
City Oonsipll Tonight.
A meeting of the city council Is billed for
tonight There Is Mttle business so far, ex
cept the reading of aome ordinance of no
great Importance. The restraining order
from Judge Dickinson's court will prevent
tha council from acting on tha Union Pa
cific vacating ordinance. A petition will
b. presented against -the vacating of the
streets proposed, but this will probably
ba placed on file. A portion of tha oouncll
seems determined to push th. ordinance
through and Intend to do so unless ' tha
court determines otherwise.
People . Hot Alarmed.
An uptown sheet yesterdajr printed an
Item to tha effect that In eas. the vacating
and viaduct ordinances - now before tha
council fell through th. railroads might
build high barb wlr. fence, along th. right-
of-way. Mayor Koutsky considers that
threat about as silly a bit of talk aa ever
mads. Of course, there is no authority for
tha statement, aa the railroad managers
assert that they know nothing of the
threat. rThe people of South Omaha' are
not at all alarmed over the statement, as
such action on the part of the railroads
would not be permitted by th. municipality.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE FOURTH WARDERS
Systematic Arrangements Mad. te Get
Republicans en m Working Baals
for Present and Fatare
Campaigns.
Plans for the thorough organisation of a
working republican organisation In th.
Fourth ward have been set on foot by N.
P. Dodge, Jr., the ward chairman of the
county committee. The Fourth ward at th.
present time has no republican club that
meets regularly, and, owing to the fact
that it contains hundreds of young man
who live In hotels and boarding houses th.
necessity for a hustling organisation la ob
vious. The following letter explains tha
situation and the project In view:
OMAIIA. Oct 19.-To the Editor of the Bee:
For perfect working of a campaign under
the new primary rules It Is essential that
tha organisation of the republican party be
by precinct organisation, and as a natural
result greater responsibility will fall upon
th. separate membera of tha new county
commute, than haa aver been their share
in former campaigns. , .
The chairman of tha county eomsnltte.
has wisely subdivided th. committee into
ward organisations, with a ward chairman
at th. head of the different membera of
the . county committee from each ward,
theae chairman having been Impressed with
the necessity for their working up a com
plete and thorough organisation of each
precinct, under the leadership of tha pre
cinct member of th. county central com
mittee. ,
At the meeting of the precinct rn.mb.rs
of th. committee of the Fourth ward, held
on Saturday evening. It w decided to hold
a meeting of the Fourth ward members of
the committee, and all other republicans In
the ward, who are ready and willing to
work for the ticket In the present and
future campaigna, and this meeting will
take place on Tuesday evening at 8 p. -m.
In the office of the Midland Guarantee and
Trust company, 1614 Farnam street.
The Fourth ward preeenta a unique con
dition. It Is the great boarding house ward
of the city. It contains more young men
and strangers than any other ward, and
without a united effort it will be Impossible
to get all of these men registered for the
coming election. In every city the else of
Omaha there is a large class, of men who
have moved from the country within a
short time and obtained regular employ
ment In the city in our .business offices and
ktrae department stores. These man aa a
rule need only a atart In order to take a
permanent interest in our civic life.
It is the purpose of this communication
to you to ask you to Join with the commit
tee in bringing out this new element in eur
local politics by advertising this meeting
tomorrow nght and extend to every man la
the ward a cordial invitation to be present
ai tna meeting, to meei tnose wno are ai-
reaay engasrea in tne workt to become a
permanent member or the republican or
ganisation In the city of Omaha. The time
Is now ripe for the organisation of a thor
ough and complete republican party in the
city of Omaha, without reference to past
disputes or factions, and to make this or
ganisation not only for the present cam
paign but for those to come.

renomlnatlon meeting, aa three of the five
"nominees" have resigned and declined the
empty honor of competing for a place on
the Board of Education. The first man to

railroad attorney, who knows nothing about
children and schools, and doesn't hesitate
to admit it Alfred Millard, another Fourth
warder, quit and pulled out, as did Frank
Burkley, who when he retired from the
council declared he was out of political life

Said a democrat Monday who played a
prominent part In the city campaign:
"There la at least one man on th. demo
cratic county ticket certain ' of defeat,
though h. Is ranked as on. of the strongest
nominees. That man la Frank J. Broad
well. Ha will ' not ' get ' the undivided
support of his party, because a powerful
part of that party Is determined to beat
him. The friction came about because
some of Broadwsll's appointees fought tha
democratic ticket In the municipal camp
aign last spring. Mr. BroadwelL has been
asked to assure certain democrats that he
would not reappoint these men and to put
certain others in their places, but he has,
declined.
"For this reason a quiet war on Broadwell
has been declared, and unless I am far
wrong he will lack the necessary votes to
jive him the district court clerkship
again."
The Danish vote, also. Is said to have an
axe ready for Mr. Broadwell. It la alleged
that In the last caropalng he promised to
appoint a Dan. to a place In his office and
then failed to do so.
