VOICE FROM FRIGID" NORTH
Carefol tfhsener nrlln of Halt of
elf and the Oldest
Inhabitant.
"She hasn't told you about herself and
her husband going to drive tia off the hill,
your honor. They said they wrre going to
do It at any cost, and .'
"We never did aay that. W aaid we
were going to muke those boys atop sweur
Ing and abusing u and throwing brickbats
at our bMrn where tiny have broken the
boards and have Blunt; brlrkbata at our
house at nlsht and I have aeen Willie steal
rabbages from a farmer's wagm and ditch
them In the hollow and they don't go to
achool and that oldest boy has threatened
to burn the house and kill his parents and
he Is fearful, swears always and scares the
children and he aweurs at his mothir. too,
when she chases him with a broomstick and
they smoke cigarettes."
Mrs. Morln, the wife of C. Morln, a good
natured German who was quite backward
in coming forward, whs forced to stop to
draw a breath and then Mr. Wcirlck,
father cf the two boys accused of disturb
ing the Morlns, nailed In to question Mrs.
Morln. Thla proved unsatisfactory all
around and so Judge Day had to take th
matter In band. Hoth sides had partisans
In the Juvenile court, the cornplalnunts try
ing to make the two boya out as ixlns
very bad. This the mother and father of
the boys would not listen to, although they
did admit that the boya swear with con
siderable cleverness and freedom and do
not go to school regularly. The father aaid
he laces them when he thinks they need It,
but they can Impose on the mother because
her doctor hn advised her not to let her
self get excited.
Jnriue liny Lectures All.
Judge lay lectured the boys and the par
ents, hand out some gord advice all
around and paroled the boya during good
behavior. Then the Welrhks announced
an Intention to have the Moiln boys brought
Into court later for a showing, and the
patient court heaved a algh.
Several little chaps were up for tres
passing on the property of the railroads,
especially In the neighborhood of the fruit
car tracks. They whimpered a little and
gave such explanations as came handy. As
nothing very aerioua was developed Judge
Day allowed the children to go home In
the custody of their parents, who were
preaent In court accompanied by others of
their progeny.
There is a .great deal of similarity about
the rases that show up In the Juvenile
court. Nearly all of the boys and girls
live In the poorer sections of the city and
seem not to be so much vicious as unre
strained. They are all alluded to as "kids"
by their parents, none of whom bear any
resemblance to the goats of the hills and
the hilarious reputation. When the wit
nesses want to tell of a thing that has
been hidden they say "ditched" and pass
on as If the court would know exactly
what they meant. Thla la true of big and
little, with rare exceptions.
Cannot Tolerate Clacarrttea.
People whoae business calls them to the
sessions of the court have expected that
Judge Day would some day be served with
an Injunction by the companies that make
chrarettea. Whenever testimony Is given
that a boy smokes cigarettes the judge at
once becomes president of the knockers'
club, although he is a natural born
, booster.
"Tou must atop that," says The court.
"Stay home at nights, go to school and
don't smoke cigarettes and you'll be all
right. I'll hear from your teacher right
along, and If you are a good boy we won't
bother you, but If you smoke cigarettes
and stay out of school we'll have to bring
you in and do something with you, that's
all."
And the "kids" listen and brighten up
and nine out of every ten of them become
walking advertisements among the lads
who have not yet got to the court. There
will be fewer and fewer coming In right
along, it Is believed, as soon aa the dis
ciplined youngsters tell their pals what
they will be up airalnst if brought In.
One commendable ' feature about every
complaint Is a report from the teacher of
the room where the culprit has been going
to school. Most of these are hopeful In
tenor, "If" and the teacher qualifies and
explains, so that the court gets a pretty
fulr Idea of the character of the aubject
ha has to handle.
Parents are always the last, according
to the experience of the Juvenile court,
to find out Just what their children are
doing that is In any way shady.
Omaha has been a lonely place for the
last fortnight, for the Oldest Inhabitant
and the Careful Observer have been and
are rtill absent from the city. Far, far
Into the remote and frigid north has the
twain strayed and this absence from the
hearthstone is becoming unendurable. The
t'areful observer, in an hour of intensest
anxiety thus writes to his old college
chum, Ferdinand le Soto;

We attended I lie continuous this after
noon. Say mate calls mat playhouse ttie
' Hay-Zhoe." We heard a little girl in
i'ged clothes sing a pathetic ditty, which
nearly moved the Oldest Inhabitant to
write home to his sister for some cast-off
garments, and lie would have Indited the
epistle had I not explained that the girl
receives SUiO per, and only weais her old
clothes so she may suit the action to the.
words she sings. She represented a poor
little girl selling papers for herself and
widowed mother. She told us in the song
that her father died many, many years
ago In a steamboat explosion, when she
was very young; that her mother was at
home baking bread, that the roof leaked
and the ice cream freezer was empty.
Khe carried a bunch of papers on the
stage, and made, out as If she wanted to
sell them, but 1 was wise that the papers
were only "property" papers, else would
have bought the whole issue, if I would
have had to pawn my suspenders. I no
ticed my friend fumbling In his purse, sort
of nervous like, as she sang that last line.
"I must struggle for mother and I," and
walked up and down the stage with the
papers at arm's length. The 01dat In
hab forgot about the ISO) per and was
allowing that struggle gng to put his
sympathy off watch, but 1 soon brought
him to.

Member Rich Thinks It Bat Fair that
Teachers Be Advised Before
They Leave as to
Retention.
The announcement was made Saturday
that an effort would be made to get the
Board of Education together Monday night
for the purpose of electing teachers. C. M.
Rich, one of the members of the board,
said, as the school year was drawing to a
close, the teachers ought to be elected be
fore the end of the term.
"It la only Justice to our corps of faith
ful teachers." aaid Mr. Rich, "that we let
them know In plenty of time whether they
will be employed again. Teachers do not
like to leave on their summer vacations
without knowing fof a certainty that they
will be elected again. The plan of electing
teachers In May has been In vogue for
some time and the teachera have been more
than aatlsfled wtlh this custom. I see no
reason now for changing the plans of the
board and deferring action until after the
school year closes." Mr. Rich said this
matter would be brought to the attention of
Dana Morrill, president of the board, with
the. suggestion that a meeting be called for
Monday night for the purpose of electing
teachers.
Arrangements are being completed for the
graduating exercises of the senior class of
the high school and for the closing exer
cises of the eighth grade pupils. This year
twenty-seven seniors will receive diplomas.
Of this class twentj--one are young women
and sfx are young men. On Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of this week the
senior class will be given final examina
tions. The graduating exerclsoa of this
claas will be held at the high achool audi
torium on the evening of June 2.
Derision Brings Joy.
When Judge Sears' decision dissolving the
Injunction secured by Madelade Plvonka and
others, restraining the mayor and city
council from selling the $70,000 bonds voted
for the purchase of a site and the erection
of a city hall building Became known those
who favored the Issuing of the bonds were
greatly elated. In talking of the decision
City Attorney Lambert said: "The decision
of Judge Sears, dissolving the Injunction
leaves the way clear for the mayor and
council to go ahead and sell the bonds and
proceed with the purchase of a site and the
letting of contracts for a city hall build
ing." Cummlngs & Hoehler of Toledo will se
cure the bonds at their bid of J92T.50 prem
ium. All other bids opened on May 1 have
been returned along with the certified
checks. This Toledo firm is apparently
very anxious to secure the issue, as it
has written Clerk 'Glllin freauent notices
about the case in court and desired to be
Jnformed immediately of a decision. This
firm has already taken up the matter of
lithographing the bonds and will place the
order for the blank bonds Just as soon as
the mayor and council directs.
It appears to be the Intention of the
mayor and council to get at this matter
as soon as possible and have plans drawn
at once. The lease on the present city hall
building expires In December of this year
and It Is desired that the proposed city hall
building be ready for occupancy before
that time.

FRAMING IP NEW WARDS
Tentatite Plan Agreed on at a Meeting
Held Saturday Morning.
ACTION TO BE HAD ON NEW .PLAN MONDAY
Startling; Dl.covery Made that Inder
City Engineer Hoiewater'i
rian the Third Ward
Might Be Dry.
City Engineer Rosewater and all the
councllmen except Hoye, Dyball and
O'Brien, Floyd Campbell. William A. Ken
nedy and other representatives of improve
ment clubs held a conference behind closed
doors Saturday morning on the question
of redistricting the wards of the city. It
was announced that a tentative plan, con
siderably different from that outlined by
the city engineer, was agreed upon. Each
councilman Is to talk the matter over with
his constituents and others wiy also dem
onstrate Its soundness. The council will
meet in adjourned session Monday morn
ing at 10 -o'clock, and if there are no seri
ous objections the scheme will be incor
porated in an ordinance for reading the
first and second times and reference to a
committee, with final action at least a
week in the future.
Might Make Third Ward I)rr.
Among other things developed was the
shocking contingency that If the Third
ward were cut in two, as proponed by the
engineer, the south part, or the new Third
ward, would be almost entirely breft of
resident freeholders. As It takes thirty
resident freeholders to fgn a petition so
that a saloon license can be obtained, and
as there are not to exceed thirty-five or
forty resident freeholders in the whole
ward as if. is, an absolutely dry section of
town would probably result if the Rose
water plan were adopted. Ways were
found, however, to change all this and the
freeholder proposition be considerably rc
liewd. The north end improvement clubs are
working with a single eye toward having
as many organizations of this character
grouped in a single ward as possible, the
idea being to get together and control
the selection of the nexj councilman from
the bailiwick.

DEVIL WAGONS MUST REFORM
Velocity of Horseless Vehicles la Get
ting; to Be Cause of Sore
Complnlnt with Clilaena. ,
Hobart A. Stoddard, manager of the
National Biscuit company, was nearly run
down by an automobile, traveling at a
high rate of speed on West Farnam street,
Friday evening. Mr. Stoddard had Just
stepped from a street car and was making
his way towards the sidewalk, when the
auto shot past him, missing htm by an inch
or two, only. Passengers on the car were
momentarily horrified as they aaw the
condition of things Just in time to give
them the impresston that Mr. Stoddard
would be killed. The motor car was moving
so fast and the passengers were so much
alarmed that they failed to note the
machine's number.
Several cases of a similar character have
occurred on West Farnam street, within the
last few weeks, and many complaints have
been made of autos exceeding the speed
regulations. As the thoroughfare has a
double track street car line, and is one of
the most traveled highways In the city,
an accident is an easy possibility. Nearly
every automobile in the city Is owned by
residents of the West Farnam district, and
they use Farnam street exclusively In
getting downtown. Many of the driver
show no respect whatever for speed reg
ulations and charge up and down the pave
ment at speed of anywhere from twenty
to thirty miles an tour. The street Is
seldom free from Skt'ernl autos moving aa
rapidly as this or awtrter. The matter la
to be taken up at the city hall and the
police department will be asked in lnt.n,.n.
on behalf of pedestratna.
OMAHA ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Attorney Breckenrldae Kinds Flnan.
clal MostoU of East Hold Thla
City In IIUh Regard.
Attorney Ralph W. Breckenrldge of
Omaha is home from th east, where he
went primarily to deliver an address at
Yale university. "I was really surprised
by the cordiality of the welcome I received
from the president and other officers of
the university," said Mr. Breckenridgu.
"If it had been a purely western college I
could not have leen treated with more
spontaneous good fellowship."
After the Tale address, on Invitation, Mr.
Breckenrldge attended the banquet of tho
National Association of Fir Underwriters
at Delmonleo's in New York. There he
was complimented by being selected to re
spond to one of the five toasts on the pro
gram. The banquet was attended by all
of the principal officers of the great fire
Insurance companies of the country. "If
I accomplished nothing else," said Mr.
Breckenrldge, "I loft the thought with
