On this question Iteprenentatlves Whltmer and Wright declined to talk when seen at the Grand hotel last night. Representative Whltmer said he could not make any statement as he was entirely In the dark and In fact had never seen the Institution. Representative Wright had not visited the school since about eight years ago, when a brother of his graduated from it.

Catch the IdeaT The Hoard of Kducatlon ut Its meeting j OR(1(n HotpRoom,, with or without Tuesday evening will hiive before it the ;ooar(j. gteam heat; free bath; public par question vt furnishing additional school , )or room for tho western lrt of the city. 11 will have to decide at this meeting whether a proposlUon aking for authority to levy A tax for nn addition to the Avenue B school shall bo submitted to the voters at tha coming school election. Action on this and any othsr proposition which may be an Omitted to the voters at the school elec tion next month must be taken Tuesday levelling or else deferred for another year. The need of Increased school room In the western part, of the city has been long apparent and becomes more so each year. Parents of advanced pupils tn the western part of the city have demanded the es tablishment 'of seventh and eighth grades t tho Avcnuo Ii school, us at present all children who have paswd the fifth and sixth, grades are compelled to go several miles In order to reach wither the Bloomer or Washington avenue schools. The long distance makes It necessary for these pupils to travel on the street cars, an expense to which tlie parent object. Car faro to i lome of the families In the western part j of the city, is a serious Item and In some cases the parents for this reason have been compelled to tako their children out of achnnt after thev have Dassed the sixth grade. t'nnot Issue Bonds. To solve tho demand for Increased school room In the western part of the city, mem bers of the Board of Education favor build ing an eight-room addition to the Avenue B achool. 'Jlils, It la estimated, would entail an expenditure of about 120,000 to $25,000 to meet which the district cannot lsnue bonds, as it is already up to the limit of legal lndobtedness. To provide the means to erect this addition the voters would have to authortzo the levying: of a tax at the Coming school election. On the other hand, a petition is being cir culated and will be presented to the board Tuesday evening, asking for the erection of a new four-room school somewhere in the Vicinity of the Illinois Central passenger depot. Such a. building, it Is estimated. Would cost $15,000 and therefore to comply with this petition and erect the addition to the Avenue B school would call for a tax levy to raise $40,000 and this the members of the achool board helteve would not meet With favor at the hands of the voters It la said that parents of 150 children are Interested in the movement for the erection of a new school near the Illinois Central depot. These children are now obliged to attend the North Eighth street school and in order to reach It have to cross tha tracks of the Illinois Central and MorthweMern railroads, over crossings Which are potorlously dangerous, owing to the number of trains passing and the con tinuous movement of switch engines. The petition will ask that the new school be located somewhere west of Eleventh street and east of Twentieth, street and north of First Avenue. The signers of the petition claim they have enough rotes In the west ern part of the city to carry the proposi tion If submitted at the approaching elec tion. Oppose New Buildings. The members of the board, it is said, are not . In favor of building any new school houses at' present, although they realise that the growth of tho city will before long demand additional school buildings. The board also has under consideration the proposition to utilise the old high school building as a ward school. As the building Is at present situated this is out of the question but the board believes that It could be made available at an expense which would Justify tha expenditure by putting down the bluff and thus lowering the building . n addition to deciding these problems the board wfff'fcave to make all necessary ar rangemettfp for tho school election at to morrow's meeting.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES. Feb. 14.-(Bpeclal.)-The movement which was started at a conven tion of stock shippers of Iowa in this city a few weeks ago. when the Corn Belt Meat Producers' Association of Iowa was formally organized. Is taking hold In some parts of the state and its effect can be seen in the large number of petitions being sent to the legislature In support of the Delano bill to regulate the shipment of live stock on the railroads. These peti tions come generally from the northern part of the state, but are widely scattered and It Is plain they are the result of efforts put forth by the officers of this associa tion of stock shippers and breeders. The efforts of the association are directed Jointly at the rsllronds and the pack era The Delano bill is most drastic In Its na ture and would result In a great change in tho operation of stock trains. The rail road men who have appeared before the legislature were able to point out how the bill, if enacted Into law, would be utterly public schools of the state.

Ia., Feb. 14 -(Spocial The Page County Farmers' Institute, which closed at Essex, last evening, was the most successful session so far held. It was re plete with good things from the opening day until the close and during the second day when the discussion was rife concern Ing the respective merits of beef or milk cattle in this section of the state the dis cussion waxed hot, each side having pro nounced champions who were ready with facts and figures to prove that their re spective views were correct. The Interest concerning the selection of seed corn was also splendid and resulted In the disclosure of many scientific facts concerning the com seed. One striking thing mode was In the speech of Prof. G. I. Christie of Ames. He called attention to the fact that the aver age farmer would spend an entire night in oaring for a sick lamb which when it was matured and ready for market. If no acci dents Intervened, would be worth probably $5, whereas when It came to picking seed corn when the same length of time would result In a careful selection of seed, whoso product would represent $200 at cribbing time, the most woeful lack of attention was evident. Prof. Christie suggested that farmers when picking corn should carry a small box and when an ear that appeared to them as being about perfect was found It should be tossed into this box. At the end of the day's work It should be placed In a dry place to thoroughly dry out and then during the winter time three grains should Counterfeits Plenty In Sarpy. PAP1T.LION. Neb.. Feb.

Unless the ordinance Is passed at this meeting of the council probably It will not be passed in time for the required notice to be given for It to be voted upon at the coming municipal election. For that reason representatives of the Lincoln. Gas and Electric Light company and the advo cates of municipal ownership are getting busy and each will make a strong showing before the council. Yesterday the gas company sent out cir culars and cards signed by Henry L. Do- rferty, setting forth why the ordinance should not be passed tomorrow night. The cards were intended to be signed and re turned to the president of the company to be used at the council meeting. They set forth that Mr. Dohety had the right to say for the signer that the cost of Install ing and operating an electric light plant should be rigidly Investigated and a herr ing should bo given all Interested tax payers before any action Is taken.
