Elect Tea hers Tonight. This evening the Board of Education will meet for the purpose of electing about 100 teachers. There, may be some janitors elected at thla meeting, but It is hardly probable as the desire of the majority of the board seems to be to let the janitors go until July or August . Mora Stock Yards ravins;. Saturday and .yesterday two big ship ments of ' paving brick arrived for the took yards. Up to last night 70,000 brick had been unloaded and were being stacked so as to be ready for use. The brick will be 1a)1 (n pens and alleys all over the yards. Thla work will keep up during the ' summer as1 rapidly as the brick can be shipped. It Is the Intention of General Manager Kenyon to pave all the peas and alleys' he can' during the summer season. With paasnnt -Mid .every ten and every alley in 1h 'yrds will have the best of drainage,' ' the sewage running Into the big eight-foot brick sewer which extends from I street to point south ol Q street. , Arranging; jMore len's. Workmen are. now enaged in removing the last remnant of debris at the stock yards caused by the burning of the horse sheds last winter. The ground Is being cleared now, wreckers having previously taken down the remnants of the buildings. When this ground Is cleared the company will put in sixteen or possibly eighteen cat tle pens. Nothing will be done for time to build "additional horse bams, as the present barns are considered ample for the needs ot the yards this season. Thief Rntera Church. While communion' services were In prog ress at St . Martin's Episcopal church Sun lay forenoon a sneak thief entered the edi fice and succeeded in stealing a purse con taining $12 from Mrs. Lon Pinnell. In go ing to the alter Mrs. Pinnell had left her wrap with a purse In it on one of the seats. " Upon her return the purse was missed. The matter waa reported to the police, but no trace of the thief has been obtained. Officer Una Papers. An officer from Manhattan, Kan., tele phoned the police here yesterday from Lincoln saying he was about to secure requisition papers for James Garfield, col ored, who is wanted, for shooting with in tent to kill. The message read that the officer expected to arrive here by noon to day. 0arfleld was arrested here by Chief Brlggs on the strength of a telegram. He was found working at Armour's. The prisoner, in telling the police about his troubles last night, said he got into an al tercation with Dick Havens over a dice game and shot him. ' Havens recovered. Oarfleld asserts he served nineteen months and was let out to attend his mother's funeral, lie still, so he says, has the time of the costs to serve, amounting to 166. While Oarfleld tells what appears to be a pretty straight story, the police do not think the Kansas authorities would go to the trouble of getting requisition papers for a man who owed only $66 in costs. , . Dies from Barns. Lewis Sorenson. Janitor of the Madison school, who was burned by gasoline thrown on the furnace fire at the school last Thursday, died from his Injuries yester day.

Harry Mlschaw, colored, of Twenty-first and Izard streets, arrested on a charge of assault and battery, preferred by Rose Mason, an elderly colored woman living at 1614 Burt street, was sentenced to sixty days by Police Judge BoYks. According to the evidence cf the com plainant and two witnesses, Mlschaw went to the Mason house to visit a young woman. On the afternoon when the alleged assault Is said to have occurred, Mrs. Mason was picking greens In her kitchen, when her attention was attracted by Mls chaw who was waking a roomer, a white man. Mrs. Mason asked the defendant to keep quiet as there was no occasion for disturbing the sleeper, but It appears that Mlschaw succeeded in waking the man. When Mrs. Mason entered the room she said Mlschaw slammed her violently against a door, throwing her to the floor. Then' It Is alleged the prisoner drew a pocket knife and threatened to carve the old woman, which he might have done, she maintained, had not two roomers inter posed. . Although afflicted with a speech Impedi ment, Mlschaw made an Impassioned appeal for leniency, alleging that at the time of the trouble the whole crowd was drunk nd that Mrs. Mason was worse than any of them. He said he had no sinister motive In waking the white' roomer, but that he Was afraid Mr. Mason would come home and And the white man there and cause trouble. He said ho knocked Mrs. Mason down accidentally. MILLIONAIRES IN A WRECK Five Men with ri Barrel Roll Down Railroad Embankment In Same Coach. The Overland limited No. 2, east bound, which was wrecked on the Union Pacific Just west of Green River, Wyo., last Wed nesday, carried no less than five million aires as passengers. Among the rich men who occupied one of the sleepers that went into the ditch and rolled down a twenty-foot embankment were Herman Oelrlchs and a eon of Claus Spreckles. Eight people were injured In the wreck. One state senator from California whose name could not be learned had his back badly wrenched and waa at last accounts laying, up at a point near the scene of the wreck to recover from his Injuries. The train, which waa due In Omaha Thursday evening at 8:06, did not arrive here until Saturday afternoon. Four sleep ers and a baggage car were thrown from the track, but what caused their derail ment was not given out by Union Pacific officials. It seems that none of the mil lionaire passengers was badly hurt. EXCIRSIO RATES Via Rock Island System.

Coad Sup ported Bryan Foar Years Ago nd that All Are Good Democrats. Dr. Hugh A. Hippie, who has been taking a leading part In the local tight against reaffirmation of the silver plank In the next democratic national platform, is out with a statement discrediting the asser tions made by pro-Ilryan men with regard to the choice of the Democratic Success league for nutionai delegates. He declares the idea that Count Creighton Is put up merely so he can be eliminated Is ridiculous, and that John F. Coad did support the democratic ticket in 1900. The selection of Count Crelghtcn as the choice of the Democratic Success league for delegate-at-large to the national con vention and of John F. Coad and Charles H. Brown for district delegates ought to set at rest any doubts that may exist In the minds of democrats as to the plana and purposes of the league," said Dr. Hippie. "We have chosen as our candidates dem ocrats who have always been loyal to Mr. Bryan, but who do not agree with him that the 16 to 1 plank of the Kansas City plat form should be reaffirmed and form a part of the nsxt platform. Brands Charge as False. "The charge made by a prominent leader of the 16 to 1 movement in an interview with The Bee that we are trying to elimi nate Count Creighton from the campaign is absurd. We are supporting him tor delegate-at-large because we believe he Is en- I titled to that honor, both by reason of his high standing as a citizen and the distin guished services he has rendered to the democratic party. The hint thrown out by the same prominent leader that Count Creighton would not be elected delegate-at-large by the state convention even If he had the support of this district Is ridiculous and shows the spirit of the men who axe managing the 16 to 1 campaign in this city. One of the delegates-at-large has always been conceded to Omaha and the wishes of the delegates from this district as to who should receive the honor have always been respected. Are we to understand that an exception is to be made at this time? Does the prominent leader quoted by The Bee speak for Mr. Bryan when he says the state convention will turn down Count Creighton? If so, we are willing to meet the Issue both in this district and the state. "The charge that Mr. Coad did not sup port Mr. Bryan In 1900 is absolutely false. "It Is to be regretted that the prominent leader referred to did r.ot allow the use of his name In connection with his interview. The democrats of this city are entitled to know who are speaking for Mr. Bryan at this time, what they intend to do if they succeed In carrying the primaries, whom they propose to send to the national con vention as delegates and what their real motives are in this contest." EDITOR WALKS UP WITH MONEY Walter S. Goldle of Wayne Democrat Pleads Guilty to Printing; Ob scene Matter. 1 ' Walter S.' Qoldle, editor and publisher of the Nebraska ' Democrat at Wayne, ap peared'before United States District judge Munger Saturday evening to plead to an indictment found against him for mailing and delivering certain nonmailable matter contained in his newspaper to the post office at Wayne. He pleaded guilty to the indictment and was fined $25. The indictment charged that the paper in question contained a certain obscene, las civious and indecent article, too obscene to lation.

Martin Palmer of Odessa, III., was occu pying a seat at Union station, rubbing his eyes to see If ho was swake or asleep. Mr. Palmer mourns the departure of 14.50 In bright silver, which he loaned to a party whom he supposed was his friend, but who. It developed later, was a base de ceiver. Palmer was the victim of the old, old story. The man had a freight bill which he must pay at once, and for the payment of which he was Just $1.50 short. Luckily the party had his baggage with him, depos ited on a seat In the waiting room, and after Mr. Palmer turned over the cash the stranger left the farmer to look after his lugqrage until he went out to get his freight. The agriculturist sat with his eyes riveted on the two grips for several hours until finally it dawned upon him that his friend must have been run over by the cars. He asked a policeman If It would not be good policy to go out and look for the remains of his friend, but the police mart replied with a hearty guffaw, and at last Mr. Palmer of Odessa took a tumble. He finally departed with a weary step, leaving a large chunk of his former faith In humanity behind. The grips which he had been watching belonged to a traveling salesman, who claimed them in due time. What Do Ton Think of Thlaf The Milks' Emulsion compsny of Terre Haute. Ind., are out with an offer to cure the worst case of stomach trouble or con stipation In existence, or money refunded, and to start you off they agree to buy the first bottle for you from your drug gist and present it to you free of charge. All you have to do is to write and ask them for an order on your drucfflst for a free bottle, giving your name, address and particulars of your case. This looks to us like a pretty good prop osition. The fact that all druggists han dling Milks' Emulsion are requested to guarantee every bottle they sell Is a sure indication of merit. Otherwise the Milks' Emulsion company would soon go out of business, and we notice they have come to the front very fast since placing Milks' Emulsion on the market one year ago. 27 CATTLE RANGES NEED RAIN West End of State Conld Stand More Wetting, Says Representa tive Curry. Representative Frank Curry of Whitney, who is in the city on business, brings report that up to the present rain his section of the state, which is one of the great stock range sections, has not had enough mois ture to afford the best grazing. "I hope this rain Is taking In our part of the state," said Mr. Curry. "It It is we will be all right. For that matter our ranges are not in what would be regarded as precarious conditions at all, but they Just haven't had the wettings they need to make them the best." Mr. Curry is almost certain to be In the next legislature, though he has refrained from making a preliminary campaign for tha nomination. ICevertheless the four counties he represented 'in the last legisla tureBox Butte, Dawes, Sheridan and Sioux comprising " the entire northwest corner of the state, have manifested a de sire to send him back to the house. He named his delegation in Dawes, received unsolicited word from Bherldan that it was for him-and is solid in the other two. Mr. Curry Is best known In Nebraska and the west as one of the big cattlemen. Unocda Biscuit.

WANTS FOUL DRAINAGE OFF HIS FARM Coat of Desired sewer Estimated at Fifty Thonsaad Dollars Thrown on Defendants If They Lose-. The preliminary jklrmlsh to what will be one of the most noteworthy legal battles fought in the courts of Douglas county for some time was begun yesterday, when counsel for several of the co-defendants In the case of Ouy C. Barton against The City of South Omaha and others appeared before Judge Sutton and asked for thirty days more In which to file pleadings in the case. The defendants to the action include the Swift, Armour and Cudahy Packing com panies and Stock Yards company, besides the city itself, and the case is one wherein the plaintiff alleges the maintenance of a nuisance by the defendants In that the filth and sewage from the establishments named Is emptied into a small creek which runs unprotected through the city and Inciden tally through the farm of the plaintiff. It Is claimed In the pleading that by making the creek the vehicle for taking away the waste of the abbatolrs and stock yards a menace to the publlo health Is created and that the odor from the creek is so offensive as to make the land adjacent to it unsala ble and practically worthless. It Is also al leged that the water of the creek is ren dered so putrid that many instances of cat tle having died from drinking of It are recorded and that trees and shrubbery along the course of the stream dies from the contact of the roots with the water. Cost of Sewer. The cost of building a sewer that would take the place of the creek would be In the vicinity of $00,000 and should the courts find for the plaintiff in the present action this expense possibly would have to be borne by the defendants. For some time negotla- tlons have been pending between the pack ' ing houses and the city of South Omaha with a view to building the sewer and thus avoiding any litigation, hut these have thus far not been productive of any result, save a disagreement as to what proportion of the cost should be borne by the city and pack ing house companies. It Is understood that the former has made a proposition to pay one-third of the expense that would be In volved, while the packing house managers do not think they should be required to pay more than one-half the expense, divided pro rata, between them. The present suit is the outcome of this disagreement and in stituted for the purpose ot bringing the matter to a climax.
