THE OMiHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAYJUNE 1C. 1887. THE LOCAL NEWS BUDGET. The Closing Days of tha Omaha School Year , CONDUCTORS ASSAILED. A finldn Rcnuntlon Mltttnnn Skips Hlq Uond An Impostor Cnpttti'ctl Topped the Tilt- Other City News. Closing f The examination of tlio scholars of the public schools will commence on Mon day next , and be continued daily nntil the close of the school year , which will occur on tlio Sftii of this month. The work of the scholars , therefore , in nearly all the public schools at this tune Is that of reviewing the studies passed over dur ing the pre ent term. This review is being studiously made because of tlio all absorbing idea of the children , to pass the examination , which entitles them to enter a higher yrado next year. To the teachers , aside from the labori ous work incidental to these warm and trying days , this is a period of anxiety and unrest. They are sorely nnnoycd by the complications in the board of education. Ordinarily , at this season of tlui year the teacher who has worked hard and been successful in her classes during the year , feels 'satislicd that her work has been noted and appre ciated and that her election is assured for another term. She therefore allows her thoughts to turn unrestrainedly to the old home where she shall meet tiie triends from whom she has been parted perhaus for several years. Or her mental vision comprehends running streams , leaiy Woods , glassy lakes wlih all the other accompaniments of rural seclusion and picnicking parties in the naves of God's lirst tampion. Such , however , is not the anticipation thin year. Thcvdo not know that they will bo rc-clectifd. Some of them , for re-election , depend upon mem bers of the board who are now servitig their last days in that body. If they should bo re-elected , the question harasses them : Will the new board con firm the re-election 1 This question , of course , can bo answered only by the fu ture. Despite this uncertainty , so far as appearances go , the teachers arc work ing well and conscientiously , lesterday morning a HKK reporter dropped in to make an uninvited call upon the DODGE STIIKET school. As is pretty generally known , the location of this institution is not the most respectable , even in that corner of the city. It looks out upon hovels and brothels on almost every hide , though it is a pleasure to observe that its powers of observations are somewhat restrained by thrifty foliaged trees , which shut out many n repulsive scene by a curtain of nature's weaving. There were hero found seven class rooms. The lirtt of the o visited was that of Mii-s Jennie M. McKoon. It is sit uated on the lir.it lloor. The walls are plentifully supplied with blackboards , and these were utilized to display some admirable penmanship with chalk crayons. There were also a number of drawings made by the teacher , and an elaborate swan in : t free hand , by Aug Uhtof. There are twenty-nine children in the room , ten of them being boys. In one corner stood a wine colored banner , indicating that this claps led in the matter - tor of regular attendance. In the lower classes , this distinction is indicated by a drawing upon the board made by Miss McKoon. The attendance of the class av eraged ! )5. ) All of the scholars presented a bright , interesting and cleanly appear ance. Some r f them displayed mischiev ous eyes but they were evidently well under the control of the teacher. The fifth reader is horp used , and at the time of the call , the children wore cogitating over a "sum" in arithmetic. The class comprises the seventh and sixth grades. In the former Benny Gunsberg , UicLio Altaian and Charles willo wore particu larly distinguished in arithmetic , while also leading in other branches , while the palm of supremacy in the sixth grade was given to Anna Itico , Moda Ilorton. Lizzie Dempsey and Charley Boyd. There are throe colored children in the room and two of these are sf.id to bo promising little follows. In an adjoining class room Miss Lillian Wilber was found in charge of a number of interesting little sprites , over whom , however , she had been in control but a short time. She is tilling the vacancy caused by the sudden call elsewhere of Miss liuchanan. The door was copiously decorated .with fancy picture cards , while within a few crayon sketches ornamented the walls. The llrst primary class was in charge of Miss Moselle Eddy. This consists of quite a number of bright little ones , each of whom occupied a small single desK and gazed upon the visitor with much concern. The oldest of them wasscarcely seven years. Yet they had already Journed to write and draw in a remark- uble manner. The reporter was shown the drawing and writing of one of the colored children , and ho was certainly not inferior to that of any of his associates. The distinguished little ones wore Tommy Wmslado , Louisa Ortegrcen , Itichard ( Jumble- and Annie Flynu in the class * K. and Simon Rosenberg , Bertha Willo , Jacob Rotholz and Moses Thomp son in class B. Nine colored children had been enrolled during the year. Miss Li'/zie Needham was found in charge of the most attractive class-room in the school. She has the first C. and second li. The walls seemed in cleanly condition , and the upper edge of the black-board was decorated with a moulding in colored crayons , The chil dren hero averaged about eight years of aye. They wore deeply interested in the teacher's explanation as tlio door quietly opened and admitted the reporter. The leaders in these classes , first C. , wcro Isaao Ginsberg , James Gallagher and Maud Spain : in the second B. wern Laura DanielsVillio Schmell and John Nelson. Miss Frances Buttorliold has a class of twenty-one children , thirteen of whom are girls. They are divided into the fifth A and B , and the loaders among them were Chas. Spain , Mauris Kopald , An- ctisl Kopold , George Beard , Leon Tims , Lulu Light and James Whiting. Miss Kcwcomb has charge of the fourth grade , third B and Sourth A audit. Some childrens hands had drawn floriated designs upon the walls in the midst of a hundred figures , and the drawing was very neatly executed. The scholars wore thirty-one in number , of whom twelve are boys. The leaders in third A were Mnurlcu Prlesman , Mary Bird nnd Mabel. Heed. In fourth A Louisa Vcnuta.Bortha Talmud , George Winslow. In fourth B Kssio Wells , Jessie Merritt and Minnie Itohrs. There was but one colored child in this class , and ho was not pronounced the best in the world. The Dodge is an old school , and some of its furniture is much older. Its cloak rooms. Miss McKoon , the principal , ad mitted were rather open to outside visit ors , but that they had a watchful janltress , Mrs. Thompson , who from her residence outside kept a watchful eye for strangers. Besides , the teachers in the outside rooms gave the ahum if suspicious pee pie appeared. The attendance at the school this year averaged 830. Last year , was IJ50 , There are two vacant rooms , caused in tlio main by the fact that at least one hun dred of the children of this school dis trict go to other district schools. Thnj are allowed to do this by the superin teudont , who has views of his own eon- tlio objections tuudo to this schpol because of Its location , The year , on the wholo. has been a prosperous one [ or the school. It has maintained its av erage attendance , and the progress made ) y the puptls socms to bo satisfactory to many of the parents as well as to the teachers in charge. Manual Training. There will bo an exhibition of the high school drawing class and the work of tlio manual training department at the school on next Friday from 10 till -1 o'clock. A SMUI3 HEXSATION. of Union Pacific Em- Over Allotted Thefts. It was reported that on Sunday a rob bery of merchandise had been cll'ectcd from a freight car on the Union Pacific at Central City , Neb. , and suggestions of a repetition of the Panhandle robberies and the unearthing of a second great railroad conspiracy have been made by a local sheet. A BEK reporter made an investi gation into the matter and found the fol lowing facts : On Sunday last W. A. Havens , the agent of the road at Central City , received a complaint from W. Hastings of that town to the clVoct that the greatest portion of a consignment of fireworks invoiced to him was missing , and that tlto property must have boon stolen while in transit. This complaint was followed by another of a similar na ture from Mr. J. 11. Mason , also of Cen tral City. Detectives were soon making an investigation. Mr. Hastings the con signee of the greater portion of the goods supposed to bo lost , has notified the Union Pacific road that ho was mis taken with regard to the invoice , and that they were all right except two brass knuckles and a Chinese lantern. There is some Indignation among the cmoloyes of the Union Pacific road that such a mountain should be make out of a mole-hill. "In a case of this kind , a man" said one of the oldest conductors on the road , "makes a mistake in his in voice , and occasion is taken to designate all the conductors of the road as thieves and robbers. Another finds that the con signor has not filled his order as directed and forthwith it is reported that a con- Bpiracy of railroad men exists for the pur- poio of wholesale robbery. Conductors and brakemen come in tor the greatest blame ; they are convicted by public opinion , in the first place , without trial , and an investigation almost invariably shows cither that no robbery has taken piano or else that some tramp or other person unconnected with the road has got away with the property. I think , nnd it is the opinion of the em ployes generally , that those wholesale charges of conspiracy and robbery , be fore a proper investigation has been made , work a great injustice to us. A very considerable amount of goods is handled by our men in the course of a year and it is almost impossible that packages should not bo mislaid or lost oc casionally. " MITT.MA.VS SKIP. He Ijcnvcs Ilia ItomlHiiicn to 1'ay Up .7 > r , ooo. In connection with the defaulting of the recognizance of $ . > ,000 in the case of Herman Mittman , in the district court yesterday morning , it appears that a judg ment was obtained against him for $198 in a civil action a few dayssincc , and ho has sought to evade the collection of the same. Mittman kept a saloon at Millard , and on the 22d of last September he had some trouble with a customer in his saloon and tried to shoot him. Walter Durham was present , and though ho had no connection with .the quarrel , endeav ored to quiet the parties , whereupon Mittman fired at Durham and killed him. He was arrested and indicted , the offense being reduced to manslaughter , and ho was put under $5,000 bond to await tlio action of the court , Gottlcib Zimmerman and William Mack being the sureties. They are looking for him , but have faint hopes of apprcncnding him. Durham , the murdered man , was a foreman under Mallory & dishing , contractors. AN IMI'OSTOtt. G. O. Hurt , Foriiicrley or Omaha , in Trouble at Detroit. Calvin C. Burt has been arrested at Detroit , Mich. , for perjury. This would not materially interest the citizens of Omaha if it were not for the fact that Burt lived in Omaha about a year ago. He came hero representing himself as a prominent Free Mason and sought to es tablish what was called tlio Egyptian rite of the order of Masonry. A number of the younger and less experienced mem bers of the fraternity were taken in for such amounts as Burt could got for con ferring the degree. It developed later that Burt had been expelled by the grand lodge of Masons of Connecticut , 'al though ho was reinstated on a technical ity which was that ho had received but seventeen days' notice of proceedings whereas thirty was provided for by the bylaws. The committee reported , how ever , that ho should bo expelled because an unlit person to belong to the order. Burt was also bounced by the grand lodge of Michigan , took the case to the supreme court and was defeated. The fraternity in this city will not recognize him , calling him an impostor. Several of the order have reason to mourn their confidence in the oily-tongucd Burt. A Bargain. I have for sale at a bargain SO acres situated on tlio main line of the B. & M. It.

ALiiiur.HT.ai8S. 15th st. Topped the Till. Ycrtorday morning when the attaches of Clark's saloon , Farnam street , near Sixteenth , came down to the saloon they found the place in disorder , the money drawer open , $41 in cash gone , and a re volver and gold watch and chain missing from the drawer. The night bartender is also missing , and it is believed be robbed the place after closlng-up time last night. The case was reported to the police , who have boon on the lookout for the bartender all day. The man's name is Billy White , ana ho has been in Clark's employ for some timo.

At 3 o'clock yesterday morning box 27 called the lire department to the frame dwelling belonging to Louis Reed , corner of Twenty-second and Davenport streets , which had caught on lire by coals drop ping from the furnace. The damage amounted to f 200 ; insured. In running to the lire the truck stuck in the mud of Davenport street near the foot of the hill. It took the united effort of a num ber of men to release the imprisoned truck. * J. McDonnell , F A. I. A. , Architect , N. E. cor. ISth and Dodge. The AVork Begun. Hpcnntly tlio city council passed an ordinance for the paving of Davenport street from its commencement at the foot of the .hill. Yesterday morning a large force of man were at work ploughing the street and preparing for the laying of the pavement. V Royal , " only , found free from lime , alum , and phosphatic acid , and absolutely pure. Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health , eighty-four different kinds of baking powders , embracing nil the brands that could bo found for sale in the State , were submitted i to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. CHANDLKR , u mem ber of the State Board and President of the New York City Board of Health , assisted by Prof. EDWAKIJ G. Levi : , the well- known United States Government chemist. I/ ? ( The official report shows that a large number of the powders examined wcro found to contain alum or lime ; many of them to Bitch an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food. \ : - Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is em ployed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of com merce used in their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also analyzed and found to contain lime and other impurities , in some- samples to the extent of 93 per cent of their entire weight. | eAH the baking powders of the market , with the single excep tion of "Royal" ( not including the alum and phosphate powders , \vhich were long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by pru dent housekeepers ) , are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce , and consequently contain limo to a corresponding extent. I The only baking powder yet found by chemical ti ulysis to bo entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is the "Royal. " This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of. tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes , which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other , and it is used in no baking powder but the " Royal. " 1 Prof. LOVE , who made the analyses of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health , as well as for tlio % Government , says of the purity and wholesomcnc.xs of " Royal" : " I have tested a package of ' Royal Baking Powder' which I purchased in the open market , and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of'tartar powder of a high degree of merit , and does not contain either aluin or phosphates or any injurious substances. " E. G.-LOVE , Pn.D. " MORE MEN NEEDED. The Disadvantages Kxpcnnnced By the Police Force. The regular police force of the city cansists ot but thirty-eight members , and last night there were but fifteen of these on duty as guardians of the peace and quiet and order of the city. That is a singular condition of tilings , to say the least , for a city of Omaha's magnitude , lifo and importance. In a lengthy inter view Chief of Police Seavoy furnished in formation to the cflect that the town is as full of thugs , thieves and crooks of all colors and conditions as it can possibly bo. Perhaps the city never was as bad of ) in this line of luxuries as at the pres ent time. Not a night passes but what the chief is aroused from his slumbers at least once every hour , from 13 until daylight , and the average number of ar rests , by an inadequate force of patrol men , per diem , readies the startling figure of thirty-live. In substantiation of this statement it id but necessary to say that Judge Berka disposes of anywhere from twenty-live to thirty cases every day , and since the 1st of June , as incred ible as it may seem , over 300 cases have boon handled in the police court. The active men now on the police force arc all overworked , in fact some in nightly service are utterly unlit for duty on this account. The chief is overwhelmed with bis perplexing nnd onerous duties , and they are getting along as best they may. The questions that trouble the chief are : "What is to be the outcome of this. What shall bo done ? Omaha is already a metropolitan , a great city , in the most robust sense of the expression. The city is teeming with strangers and the acme of lifo and energy , and bustle and rush and push is observable on all hands. She is in the height of an epoch when the ut most care must bo exercised in the furth erance of her continued advancement and prosperity. Once more , look at the po lice force ! It is ridlcuously slender , atten uated and inallectivo. Hogucry llounts itself in the face of the public , rowdyism , drunkenncsss and mis demeanors of all shades and grades are are so bold that they take but little pains to conceal their purpose or methods. Some remedy , quick and salutory , should bo applied , but will it ? It was only at the last meeting of the city council that Mayor Broatch asked for a relay of twenty extra men. The matter was re- forroif to the committee on police , and Tuesday evening said committee reported unfavorably to the mayor's request , owing to an insufficiency of funds in the treasury. This doesn't look as if tlio police regulations were to bo much im proved in the immediate future. Notice to Property Owners. A mooting of property owners be tween Oth and 10th sis , south of HieKory , will bo held Juno Kith in No. 4 engine house , at B p. m. , in regard to the grad ing of the alley between Uth and 10th sts , south of Hickory. OFFICER WHITE ON TRIAL. A Jury Empanelled In the Man slaughter Case. The trial of Police Oificor William White came up in the district court yesj terday morning. The greater portion of the morning was consumed in empanell ing a jury , a special vcnir of fifty being called in. About 11 o'clock the jury was finally selected and the attorney for White made a statement of the case which oc cupied until over the noon hour. At 3 o'clock the hearing of testimony began. It is thought the case will last for several days. The jury is as follows : Henry VanDusen. E. J. Tillott- son , D. G. Martmovitch , II. H , French , D. S. Parmaieo. James H. Karris , William Buttorliold , Phillip Andres , Otto Haynes , K. D. Hull , Otto Harmony and Thomas Oilicer Wliito is charged. with manslaughter in shooting John Richardson last spring. The jury in tlio case of Mrs. Bogley vs. the Belt Line raiload company returned a verdict for $1,000 in favor of the plaintiff. 11N1TKI ) C1UCU1T COUIET. In the United States circuit court the case of Bates , Reed and McCooly vs. Me- Conncl is being tried betoro Judge Brewer. This is an action on a creditor's bill , and has been pending for a long time. The attorneys were engaged in arguing it up to noon. "Tho Happy Thought is.tho best hard coal range in'the world.

Judge Borka ycstoroay lined Effio Eiscn- berg and Mollie Shingle $3 and costs for disturbing the peace by lighting. Mike Malonc paid $5 and costs for assault and battery. John McDonald , an old time crook , found in a lumber yard with a va lise full of clothes marked "John Grillin" was sentenced to forty.days in jail. Five drunks , one of whom had a wild case of snakes , wore discharged. Two boys were set free as were aUo live persons who had disturbed the quietude of the city. The session to-day was the lightest for some timo. Judge Berka tinds that the busi ness of the court is largely increasing. His court ollieer. Policeman Whalcn , is kept constantly busy serving warrants and attending to such routine matters as properly fall to a court ollieer. Insurance. Every time the Nebraska & Iowa In surance company is attacked she comes back with more strength , and now she becomes unquestionably thoroughly iden tified as a Nebraska institution for the reason that her capital , if not all , nearly so , has passed into the hands of promi nent representative men of our city and state. This will place the company in a posi tion that no property holder will hesitate in giving it their patronage. Wo must recognize that it is dun our own institu tions wo should patronize them , and it is evident that no ono will hesitate when they see anchored behind the directorship such men as L. B. Williams , vice president Cable Tramway company. S. R. Johnson , ( President Cable Tram way company. John L. McCqguc , of McCaguo Bros. A. P. Hopkins , president Commercial National bank. F. B. J'ohnson.tcashier Bank of Com merce. Thomas A. Creigh , of the O. F. Davis company. F. O. Gleason , capitalist of Council Bluffs. J. W. Morse , general passenger agent of the Union Paoific railway. Hon. Eli Clayton , of Walnut , la. , who has been elected secretary and general manager. Unquestionably this company has done a profitable and satisfactory business , or such men would not want the control of , the company. A Card of Thank * .

TYPES ARE STUPID When we want them to tell a convincing'story about our clothing. The types will tell you that the prices are the lowest in the citybut an examination of the garments alone will convince you how good they are , and that they are really sold far below their value. Our stock is unquestionably the largest and most comprehensive in the city and is not exceeded in extent or variety by those of even the most important houses in the east. Knowing we have a large trade and perfect facilities , manufacturers and importers give us first choice on lots on which they are overstocked , and which they have to sacrifice. If the goods are strictly desirable we command the lowest prices by paying prompt cash , no matter how large the lot. The system of selling every article at a very small profit and mark ing down at even less than cost , those goods which do not move quickly , is a ruling principle of our business. Today we are opening several lots of flannel and mohair coats and vests , bought at about one half the t > rice that was asked for them early in the season , and we have marked them accordingly , 1 All goods marked in plain figures and at one price.
