THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , JUNE 10. 1887. 5 ANOTHER HUNDRED FATHOMS The Supreme Court Decides That Work On the Salt Well Can Continue , AN OPINION FROM LANE. Jfc Decides That the Hold-Over 51cm- buri or the Omaha School Hoard Arc Entitled to Ofllco Under tlio New Charter. Irnosi run nrr.'s i.ixcor.x nunnAu.l The supreme court yesterday passed ftpoti llio question : it isiito between thu auditor and the board of public lands nnd buildings regarding the continuance of work on the salt well. The question raised by the auditor was as to his right to continue to issue warrants for the work after the expiration of the quarter ending May ill , and a statement of facts in the case were Mibmitted by the attor ney general. Upon consideration the court holds that the auditor , under thu law , can issue warrants until the expira tion of Scptombor nml that the fund id available until that time. This decision will allow the board to continue the well another 1,000 foot and furnish informa tion as to what underlies this section of the Btato to the depth of 8,000 , feet. When it is considered that the results attained by sinking the well 2,000 feet arc prac tically valueless the continuation of the work will , if nothing should bo devel oped , settle the question of experiments for minerals or other products to a depth within roach of reasonable working.

A short time since , the stnto stipnrin- cndont received n communication from the hold over members of the board of education In Omaha regarding whether hey would bo member * of tlio board iinuor the now charter. To this Mr. ! . , ane furnishes the following reply , which t is understood is of n like opinion with the members of the supreme court now 'n session : OFFICE OF STATE Sui'EKiNTJ'.Nnr.NT ) OF I'UIILIO INSTIIUCTION. > .LINCOLN , Neb. , May , ISisT. ) Gentlemen : 1 nm In receipt of yours of the IDtli of May , lbt > n , requesting an olhclnl leclsion of the question whether the six jiiembers of the board ot education ot thunlty of Omaha elected when said city was : i city of the first class whose teiins have not yet expired , will Decomo members oC the board of education tor the school district of tlio city of Omaha to he organized under the law governing school districts in cities of the metropolitan class. The act of the legislature was made neces sary because of the cro.ition ot a now class of cities. The school law piovided In ireneral for schools In cities of the second and lirst class , but not for schools In the newly- created class of cities. The unceitalnty 10- gardlne the act nilsestrom Inconsistent pie visions relating to the number of members 'in the board provided for by the act , and the number to bo elected at the annual elections : H Ibs7 aud 1S-4S. The net says the board shall consist ot lifteen members , but only ptovldes for the election of nine In lt$37 nnd live In 1888. The decision of the question will Involve nn Intelprutatlon of this statute. In arriving nt a decision 1 think It fair to consider tlio object to bo attained by the legislature , thu existing system ot school organi/atlon. nnd the relation the old school district hold to the one newly created. The act relative to cities of the first class provides for a board or nine members , three of whom are elected each year tor a term of three years , and until their successors nro elected nnd qualified. Under the law of 1SS7 , the board Is to consist of fifteen members , nine of whom shall be elected on the first Monday in Juno , 1887 ; five of whom to serve three years ; two tor two years and two for onn year. It further provides that at thu annual elec tion in June. 1888. there shall bo chosen live members to serve for three years , and In June , 18b9 , there shall bo elected live members to serve for three years , nnd annually thereafter there shall be elected tire members to serve for three years. It will thus bo seen that the act provides for & board of fifteen members , and tor the elec tion of but nine thereof until the year 18S8 , at which time two of the nine go out nnd live new members come into office. In the year 1&9 , two more go out and tire new members como In. It will also bo observed that under tbe law relating to cities of the first class , three mem bers ot the board retire In 1SS7. three In 1888 , and throe In ISaO. This coincidence of ex piration of term of old members , and this singular time of election of new members can be explained only by icasonablo conject ure that the legislature had In mind both the old and new boards of education. As was said in the case of the state vs Woatherby , 17 Nebraska , 554 : The powers of the board of education under the new act may be somewhat greater than tbe powers of the old ; but the school district of the city of Omaha substantially remains the same the corporation itself has not terminated or un dergone much material chance the main difference being a change in the manner of transacting Its buMness and In the method of government. The board of education , under the act of 1887 , necessarily continues the schools of tbe board created under the act of cities of thu first class. At the time of the passage of the ret Incor porating metropolitan cities the oftlcinl census of thu state showed that there was but one city In the state coming under the provisions of that act , viz. , the city of Omaha , which cltr was nt the tlni said act was passed a city of the lirst class. It is lair to assume the legislature was cognizant ol these facts. The/ would also be cognizant of the fact that the school district of said city was represented by a board of education con sisting of nine members , six of whom wore elected for terms not jet expired. Thu lattter named actauthoiUed the city council to extend thu limits of the city , but did not require them to extend the limits be yond the limits of the old city. In vlow ol the fact that nn extension of the city bounda ries was not made necessary , it cannot be claimed that the legislature know that tin now territory would be embraced In the school district before the annual election ol 1S87. They did know , however , that the territory ritory of the old district would become the territory of thu now district. In the ordinary course of things the now district Is to be tin successor ot the old. The new district is tc have a board of fifteen members , nine are to be elected In 1SS7 with varying terms of ollice The six members ot the old board wore elected for terms which would expire slmul tancously with tbe six whose election wn ; not provided for. ThU condition of attain was In the minds ot the legislature and was part of the subject-matter upon which the ] wcro legislating. It cannot be claimed tha the legislature had no official knowledge o those lact * , for the reason that they all mus have existed under the general school law : and could be determined br the pnblli records of the * tate , and U Is not i matter of conjecture that they wen legislating with regard thereto. It wottU bo an absurd conclusion to ay tba the legislature , after providing for a board o fifteen members , Intended there should nebo bo fifteen for two years to come. The ac provides that the board shall organize li July , 1887. No possible construction of tbi act can load to the conclusion that the si : members whose election Is not spectued at to be chosen by election at any time , for thi act expressly limits the number to be chosei at every election provided for therein. No will it do to say the other six members ma ; be appointed to ail vacancies ; because tliet can be no vacancy until somothlnr has beei vacated br act ot the members themselves My decision therefore. Is thit the six mem bers whose choice Is not otherwise provide for , but whose office Is created , are the su members of the old board whose terms ban not expired by limitation. All of the statute referred to are ID parl tniterla , and aust b taken and construed tof ether a * one fyaten nnd explanatory of each other. They all form n united system , harmonious nud con sistent , adapted to tbe irrowth and develop ment of cities of one class Into those of nn- otlicr. In my opinion thcrocan bu no doubt nstotho Intention of the legislature ; and this Intention Is discovered without ImportIng - Ing Into the statute any words not in the text and without nssumlnic thu existence of any facts or condition of things not shown by the public records of thu state. It Is In accord with thu language of the statute , do- duclblo from and In no wUo Inconsistent with it. 1 Imvo the honor to bo , \ ery truly yours , UKoitni : 1) . LANE , State Stint. To Sfpssrs.

Just how Cap tain Hoover will fcol toliayoLairil desert him at this tlmo is an open question , but curtain it is that Laird is now , with Can- tain Phillips , directly behind Smith Caldwell - well as an applicant for the position. 1M1'UESMNG Ul'OX ' . , HEFOKM THK 1'tIIlUC. On the occasion of the vi it of the Lutheran synod to Lincoln Wednesday , the mayor , among others , addressed the distinguished gathering of divines. In this course of his remarks it probably ac- currcd to him that the delegation liiight not bo fully impressed with the idea that ho was the great big mayor of the city and that ho had tilled the air with roform. Hence he quoted to them , "Wo are living , wo are moving in a grand and awful time , " and ns ho solemnly enunciated this stale proposition n number of the mayor's victims on thu altars of reform appro- ciutud the statement to Us fullest extent. Jny Gould nnd Pnttison. Jay Gould anil ox-Governor Pultlson made an ititcn-sting picture when they stood up to shake hands at the ollico of tliu Pacific railroad commission , says the Now York Sun. Mr. Gould's head was about on a luvol with the. ex-governor's middle vest button. Governor Pattisou sat down , and , loaning his head on one baud , listened with close attention to a'l ' that the railway magnate said. Mr. Gould talked in a iruntle , uuassuminj * way of how ho had bought and sold and built railroads , showing his familiarity with every detail. Ho never was at a loss for an answer never stammered as if fearing that he would make a wrong answer. For a Pacific railroad man ho had forgotten comparatively little. Ho , was dressed in a plain dark cutaway suit , and his solid-looking boots wore well polished. Hu sat almost from the begin ning to the oud of his testimony with ono leg thrown over the other. Ho showed no more interest in ono question put to him than another , but ho never failed to grasp one of them as soon as It was put. If a paper was handed him he coolly slipped on his gold-bowed spectacles and read it from beginning to end , took oil his spectacles , and then answered. When his testirnonv was finished ho walked up Wall street nnd Broadway to his otllco with Judge Dillon.

The American hand is smaller than the Mitrlish hand , but the nails are not so umdsome. It is s.ud that people witli imagination nro apt to have Ions tapering lingers and leantiful tinner nails. The good-natured critics nro said to possess small , well shaped nails , and .heir handwriting is somewhat angular. The American nail sutlers iroru the Iryness of our elimato , as a foreign pict- irc uaintcd on panel sutlers from the same cause , f Diplomacy has a long , supple hand and i beautifully kept linirur nail. Tlio hand writing of a diplomat looks like a snake crawling away. An aptitude for criticism is shown among people who bite their nails. These people are cynical nnd severe- , un charitable nnd bitter ; they write a small , cramped , illegible hand. The Chinese have linker nails so long : hat they coulil write with them. The tenacity of the Chinese nail , which docs not easily break , would indicate that they invo more lime in their bones than we have. Tlio English nails are almost univer sally rosy aud shell-like , and cut to a rounded , slightly tapering point , kept always scrupulously clean. The skin at tlio base is pushed buclc to show the onyx , a little half moon. The onyx of the linger nails Is care- fullv cultivated by the Creoles of New Drleans to show that they have no black lilood in their veins. No matter how fair the complexion , the valuable sign of pure blood is wanting to the octoroon if the onyx is clouded. Where Their Merit JLtes. When anything stands a test of fifty years among a'.discriminating oeoplt1 like the Americans it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. Such a test UKANDUETH'S ' PILLS have stood , and thousands of unsolicited testimonials every year prove their merit. The Pills are purely vegetable and are the result of the highest medical nnd chemical skill. They have never been known to fail in their work ; they have never caused any one the slightest inconvenience , no mat ter when taken , and there is little doubt that they have really saved thousands of lives. The best evidence ol their value lies in their increasing salo. UUAND- KKTII'S PILLS have truly become n house hold necessity. Advice to a Younc Man. Burdotto : My son , you must overcome a difficulty ns you would split a gnarled pieca of wood ; strike square at the knot. It looks to bo the harder way to get ai it , but it is the easier and shorter way. It will take you all day to split a tough old gnarl of hickory by chipping around the knot , nnd then alter you have wasted the day and wrenched the ax-handle and sprained your wrist and have twisted and turned and pounded and chipped away all the rest of the chunk , there will the knot be still , hard and sound and touch as ever It was , and ever so much harder to handle , because you have no way of getting at it. You will never split it now. It will tnko you a lifetime to overcome a bad habit if you go at it by degrees and just try to chip away the easy edgei of it. The chilly water in the ford will not grow the warmer because you stand on tlio bank and shiver , unless you are going to stand there until next summer , and by that time you won't care to cross.

British North America got 6.903 ; Australasia , 2,333 ; and all other places 6U1 persons. Ot all these people England supplied 19,412 Scotland , 4,833 , and Ireland which has not oow 30 per cent more population than Ucotland-18,086. In April , 1830 , the total number of British born cmi grants was 39,039. There must therefore be some powerful cause at work to make an increase of 50 per cent between April emigrants of 1880 and 1887 , For the tour months ending the SOU of April , 86,358 subject * eiulflrrtxtod ai compared with 60,323 In 1 ! 9. Addlnj the foreigners who pwsod through 01 their way abroad , 118.348 sailed this ycai as against 83,757 last' year , a hopeful sign for the shareholders In the great American steam lines , ns 103,000 took that mode of conveyance. While states men nnd doctors nro lamenting the gradual loss of physical power tunong our people , ns shown by the necessity of reducing the height of nrniy recruits to live feet three inches from live feet eight inches , which it was when the queen came to tlio throne , the Kast Knd of London Is being inundated by foreign paupers , mostly Germans or Hu sinii8 nnd Polish Jews , filling up with human rubbish the tale of thu population which is being decreased by the loss of thu best and purest of our agricultural laborers and our country nrtis.ius. As n proof of the extent to which this has already gone the City Press states that from the the result of n careful nnd analysis of the reports published by the Jewish board of guardians for the relief of the poor , in Devonshire square , E. C. , joined to some other information on the subject , it appears that every third Jew in London was actually in receipt of poor relief , every second Jinv belonged to the pauper class , and every second Jewish funeral which took place in the metro politan area was a pauper funeral. These were mostlv foreign born , who during their lives liero were a burden upon the rates nnd cut down the prices of labor. ITCitlMl F1VIJ I.ONH YEAltS. N Etv IlLoouriiai ) , Ml.-s. , Jan. 2 , 1530.
