In an examination held in the lower

What la In the kf
"What ia in the sky?" waa a query pro
pounded In a higher grade after a good uaj
of preliminary work 1n physical geography.
One little girl wrote, "The sun, the moon
and the stars," and had she stopped there
would have made a ierfec:t answer,
but evidently having a fancy fur the spirit
ual ahe added, "and Ood and the angels."
A pupil In another s hool was not satis
fled with including "God and the angels"
but reverently added, "our father and
mother who are In hcuven and who watch
ovor u."
Stranfte to say, the parents of this
youngster are alive and In the best of
lionlth.
In a history class a teacher asked who
might be the chief executive of the United
Slates and where does he live.
"Mr. I'earse (the superintendent) la the
chief executive," wrote one little boy. "and
he Uvea in hla office."
A number of abbreviations had been pa-
ntly explained to a class. One of them
waa the designation "B. C." for before
Christ. In going liacK over the list to find
out how much hor pupils remembered the
teacher came across a dreamy-oyed little
mss who appeared to have been romancing
at large during the Instruction. B. C, how
ever, she said ahe knew. She was quite
positive it meant "candles before Christ.
Being a Catholic her reference became ob
vious.
Another Kmart One.
"Why ars the merldlane of longitude and
parallels of latitude drawn around the
earth?" questioned the teacher.
To keep it warm," waa the Instant
reply of an urchin, whose elbows were
licking through hla coat aleevea.
Considerable work waa recently spent on
relief maps In the Eighth grade. ' How
ever, when asked to describe the drainage
of Europe,- one of the girls wrote solemnly
"Europe la drained by a system of under
ground pipe railed sewers."
"Children make mistakes that are ri
diculous enough while . under the peculiar
nervous strain of an examination, but It
requires young women who stand the testa
for teacher' certificates to cap the cli

teaehsrs l were'Heca k& wflre -ll A eWuiy
on "Nature." - One of the girls wrote charm
ingly to the aubjeot and among other
things described feeling. 'How good It Is
to go out into the woods and llHten to the
twittering of the butterflies.' "
Another person taking a teachers ex
amination, waa telling ahotit the events
that took place in old Boston town anent
"no taxation without reciprocation." etc.
8he had to tell about the spilling of the tea
and remarked that the patriots "left the

Republicans generally aay ths ticket nom
inated Saturday afternoon Is one of the
strongest ever put up here. One well
known democrat said last night to a re
porter for The Bee that it would take a
very strong ticket on the democratic side
to beat the republicans at the polls this
spring.
Most of the csndidates on the ticket are
so well known they scarcely need any In
troduction to the public. Frank Koutsky.
for mayor, has served one term and has
shown himself to be an economical mayor.
He has cut down expenses In every de
partment In the city and promised the dele
gates at the convention that If re-elected
he would keep up the policy he has en
forced for nearly two years.
E. I. Howe, the present city treasurer.
is a most efficient officer nnd republicans
generally say he Is entitled to a second
term.
E. It. Gustafson, candidate for city clerk.
Is one of the best known young men In
the city. He Is exceedingly popular. Dur
ing his service in the city treasurer's office
he has made many friends. His election Is
almost a certainty.
A. H. Murdock, candidate for city attor
ney, has worked hard In his office for the
interests of the city and naturally expects
the taxpayers, regardless of party, will
vote for him on election day.
Oeorge MrBrlde Is a well known civil
engineer and has lived In South Omaha for
years. His friends say there will be no
trouble about electing him to the office of
tax commissioner.
For members of the council the repub
licans think they have put up an excep
tionally strong ticket. W. P. Adklns, from
the Flist ward, haa served two terms In
the council and has been on every Impor
tant commlttte. He has worked faithfully
for the party Hnd for the city, and even
democrats concede his election.
For representative from the Second ward
the republicans nominated Frank Dworak.
Mr. Dworak is well known all over the
city and especially In the section south of
N street. He la In the grocery business
and In a prosperous merchant.
Herman Krlttenbrlnk, from the Third
word, Is a buslnnss man of long standing
here. He Is engaged In the manufacture
of brick. He Is a general favorite among
the Germans and the statement Is made
that hla election is assured.
There is hardly a more popular man In
South Omaha than William MeCralth. For
a number of years be has been sn efficient
officer of the police force. Ho always hus
taken an active part In republican politics
snd his friends give It out that he cannot
be defeated.
From the Fifth ward comes John Klewlt,
Jr. This candidate has hosts of friends all
over the city, who have promised him that
he shall have a seat in the city council.
Mr. Klewlt Is one of the well known archi
tects In the city.
There Is hardly any need ef speaking of
W. B. Vansant, the nominee from the
Ixth ward. Every one knows Mr. Vansant.
His long residence here snd his extensive
business at the stock yards has made him
equalnted with nearly every one. Repub
licans ssy Vansant will come out of tho
race m'lth a' hlg majority over his demo
cratic oponnt,. u .. i- , j.

tition. Galesburg and Coffeyvllle will be
the opposing materials.

struction of permanent sidewalks ordered
by the mayor and council during the year

that he had no intention of resigning aa a
member of the Fire and Police Bcarl in
order to make a campaign. Mr. Vansant
said if it was possible to do so he pro

Old-Time Printer Pies of Locomotor
Ataxia at Ills Home In
Omnha.
Wtlllsm A. Runkles. for many years head
proofreader n The Bee, died at his
home, LTiH Blonilo street, ycr.terday morn
ing from locomotor ataxia, after being con
fined to his bed for about two weeks. He
had been In poor health for more than a
year and his death bad been expected for
several days.
Mr. Runklcs, who was better known as
"Gdbe," a nickname applied to him early
In life, was a native of Iowa, being born
tit Wlntersct In W0. He served bis ap
prenticeship as a printer on the Pes Moines
Register and worked there for several
years as a Journeyman printer before com
ing to Omaha. His mother Came here
during the 70s, and Gahe and his two
brothers roon accompanied her. Mrs. Run
klcs kept tl-e Kmmett house on Eleventh
street for many years, one or the other of
her sons assisting her In its management.
Soon after coming to Omaha (labe was
employed on The Bee us a printer,
then as telegraph editor nnd finally as
head proofreader. He has been connected
With this paper almost continuously for
nearly twenty-five years; but, like the
printers of his time, made many excursion
abroad, working as far east ns New York
and Boston, but never extending his jour
neys to the westward. His acquaintance
among the craft was such as to make him
a prominent member of Its ranks, and It Is
not too much to say that Gabe Runkle
was one of the best known printers In the
country. Ho was the only charter member
of Omnha Typographical union No. I'M liv
ing In Omaha, at the time of hla death.
He served the union In various capacities,
being president one term, nnd being elected
one of tho delegates to the convention of
the International Typographical union
which met at Chicago in IM13.
Gabe Runkles was a patient, painstaking
workman, whose fidelity Is attested by the
fact that he had stuck to his desk In the
proof room cf The Bee for more than ten
years, with no extended vacation or ab
sence otljer than that caused by sickness.
Ills wide scope of general Information and
his vigilance made him Invaluable In the
position he filled, while his genial ways en
deared him to nil with whom he worked.
His death will be learned with deep nnd
genuine regret, not only by those with
whom he had so long worked side by side,
but by all who still live of that almost Im
mortal phalnrx of old-time printers who
are now passing Into story tinder the name
of "Missouri River Pirates."
Mr. Runkles vas married about seven
years ago. His wife was with bl.n when
death came, having watched ceaselessly st
the bedside since the Inception of his fatal
Illness, hoping always to detect some
change for the better. A brother, Kerwln
W. Jtur.kles. a job printer at the Omaha
Printing company, and a sister In Chicago,
also survive him.
The funeral will be held Wednesday after
noon ajid Interment will be made In Pros
pect Hill cemetery.
BUILDING WEST AND SOUTH
Eunices! on the Move sod These ecthni
Compete for Center.
Y. M. C A. SITE FIGURES IN THE CONTEST
Property Owners nn llnth sides Are
Ridding; for alra and Prospects
for Development Cienernllj
Are Excellent.
The selection of a site for the new b.iiU
Ing of the Young Men's Christian as'tn la
tlon has developed an Interesting contest
among real estate men. This selection is
considered as very Important frr the rea
son that It will have a large eff.-cl In as
sisting the movement of building develop
ment either west or south. The McCague
.Investment cempany Is the principal cbtm
plon of the movement to throw the course
of building up Douglas street, and Oeorge
Co. is the lef-der of the opposition, which
Is making every effort to start the busincas
center cn Its way south along Sixteenth
street.
The recent contract between Thompson.
Belden & Co. and George A. Hnugland for
a business block at Sixteenth nnd Howard
streets was a victory for the south side
Interests and the Branduls purchase for
thuso who have real estate west of Six
teenth and north of Fainam.
' Real estate men regard the pie.--ent as
a crisis," said u prominent holder of prop
erty In the retail district. "Omaha has
been growing hihI its large stores hHve
reached a point where several of them must
have more room. This means buildings.
The present retail district is fully occupied,
so thut new tirrltory inuwt be taken In.'
A big fight Is therefore on by men inter
ested in the several possible districts to
secure these buildings.
Expntidlngr South anal West.
The eligible directions for expan
sion are south on Sixteenth street,
southwest on Harney to tho vacant
lots about Boyd's theater, or wit
on Douglas and Iodge streets, principally
tho former. Bennett's was a pioneer on
South Sixteenth street nnd suffered for II
at first, but the location there of Thomp
son & Belden and possibly another linn
mHkes thut purl of the street perhaps as
good as sny other. The Imprrtan f the
selection made by the Young Men's t'hii
tlan ssstclatton lies In the fact that a ti .gle
location now may swing the scale in favor
of one district or another. Three locations
on the east slile of South Sixteenth had
been eff"red the asaixlation, at Harney nnd
at Howard and two near Seventeenth nnd
Douglas streets. The Grossman properly
at the northwest coiner of this Inteieitloti
hes been offered, 1 understand, for V3.t'.
The directors ot the association meunwhll"

City Attorney Wright yesterday ex
pressed the opinion that the democratlo
members of the Board of Public Works
will approve the specifications for paving
prepared by Engineer Roaewater and cor
rected and approved iy- the attorney.
Mr. Rosewater made the legal alterations
demanded and pluced tha documents In the
handa of Wright, Saturday. Yesterday
noon the council requested Information
as to what baa been done, iu order to be
assured that the specifications will come
before It for formal confirmation Tuesday
night.
In this connection Councilman Hoya
secured what he thinks will be a provision
enabling contractors to make lower bids
than heretofore. It haa been the custom
In the past to reserve 16 per cent of the
payment for the length of the guarantee
period. This hus now been changed to
'4 per cent, the remainder being secured
by a guaranty company bond. All
guarantees are to run five years. Council
mar. Hoye Is confident that this change will
cause more bidders to enter the list besides
promising better proposals. He says the
IS per cent reserve is a serious handicap to
tha small contractor.
