For a Choice.
The matter of selecting a plan for the now
Bchool building Is exciting much interest.
The elevation of the plan submitted by Allen
& Hell is on exhibition in the window of I ) ,
W. IJushncll's store and Is much udmired.
Considerable comment was made ycstcrdaj
afternoon in regard to the action of Mr
Muxon in removing his plans from the
rooms of the school board. The clerk
of that body was naked why the
rhango was made and ho replied that ho sup
posed It was for the purpose of making the
changes suggested by souio of tlio board , II
such is the CHBO it is eminently unfair foi
the other competing parties.
A prominent member of the board was
nskcd why the plans wcro removed , and said
that ho had no knowledge of It. Ho hail
given Mr. Allen permission to remove hie
elevation , as that gentleman wished to get it
photographed , but the rest of his plans were
still in tlu ) possession of the clerk. If the
others had been removed it was without hia
consent and ho did not think they could be
again presented , Hu would bo much pleased
to have Mr. Muxon place his elevation on
exhibition by the side of the other and leave
the taxpaying public to umko n selection.
Ho hoped there would bo no moro of the
work that was done on another occasion ,
which resulted In the expensive suit brought
by Mr. Uriscoll against the city , All he
wanted was to BCD fair play , and a decision
for the beat interests of the city ,

Hugh Thompson Finds Himself In
Great Trouble Ovqr It.
THE CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS.
They AVI1I lie Ijookctl Over To-Iny
Three FlrcA Give the Hoys Ex
ercise Lmst Night's
Concert ,
lie Ijovcil Too Well.
Thcro waa a deal of dirty clothes washed
before the Jury in the district court yester
day. It was the necessary result of the at
tempt to get Hugh Thompson sent to the
penitentiary for bigamy. Thompson Is a
little man , ngcd thirty nine , Whoso face and
form are quite familiar to Omaha citizens , he
having for seven years been the water In
spector. Ho Is now superintendent of the
water works nt York , Neb. The present
case is brought nt the instance of wife No. 2 ,
wife No. 1 having died some time ago. Wife
No. 1 , according to his statement , w.is a Hoboken -
boken girl whom ho married In New York
and afterwards left as ho found she was
going to the bad. She afterwards died. Hia
wife No. 8 he first met in Omaha , Ho was
in the regular army and he was introduced
by a chum on the street , the girl being
called simply "Nellie , " lie called upon
her a few days later nt a house
of prostitution , where she was living ,
The closest sort of intimacy soon sprang up ,
and this continued for home time , nntl at last
resulted in marriage. He claims that be
knew nothing about her character , outside ol
his own relations with her , and believed her
story that she was a domestic , who could
rarn better wages in Mich a house than in u
respectable family , and hence remained
there. After the marriage she continued with
his consent to live In a like house , as he was
unable to support her on $18 a month. After
his time was , up , and ho was discharged from
the army , they went to housekeeping.
While thus keeping house another girl
came upon the scene. She lived with them ,
and they thought a great deal of her. He
thought ho much of her that ho vowed who
should never be without a roof over her
head. Wife No. 2 got Jealous , according to
her tell , and found that she was entirely sup
planted , and that the girl was soon to become
a mother. The next she found that Thomp
son slipped over to Council llluffs and had
Justice ISarnctt quietly marry them , making
the girl wife No. 3. Thompson docs not deny
this , but explains his motive very
strangely. He says that Nellie , his No.
made him promise to always look
after this girl , whose name was Mack , and in
accordance with the promise thus made wife
No. 2 ho made the girl wife No. 3. He found
that the Mack girl was In an interesting con
dition , and while ho was in no way responsi
ble , he could not think of allowing the fellow
who offered to become responsible , marry
her. His wife , Nellie , told the Mack girl
that if she married this fellow she should
never darken her doors again. There being
so much opposition to her marrying the one
she ought to have wedded , and as something
had to bo done to cover up the girl's disgrace ,
ho concluded to marry the Mack girlhlmself.
One reason for doing so was that it was hard
to get any place for her to stay during her
sickness , and this was made easier by throw
ing about her the sanctity of marriage , and
lending1 her his name. All this was from
philanthropic motives , and a desire to keep
his promise to wife No.- .
Just before this marriage with wife No. 3
Thompson hnd applied for n divorce from
wife No. 2. He hud got a default , and was
about to get a decree , when she suddenly ap
peared , had the default set aside , and his lit
tle yamo stopped. In the meantime he had
the marriage ceremony performed , and so
arose the trouble , and the charge of bigamy.
Thompson claims Unit lie was the victim ol
a bad girl's scheme. Ho claims that ho sup
posed she was a domestic , and not a pro
stitute , and that ho did not mean any harm.
The burden of the defense seems to bo to
break down the character of wife No. 2 , who
has been known in Omaha as Nellie Patter
son , or "Crazy Nell , " who has been fre
quently arrested , and had rather an unsavory
record. The prosecution is laying stress on
the fact that none knew better than he what
sort of a girl she was when ho married her ,
and that after this marriage she remained
true to him until by his intimacy with the
Mack girl she was obliged to leave him.
There are n number of Omaha people in
attendance upon the trial. Judge Bradley ,
Attorneys Delamatyr and Mynstcr & Lmdt
are for the defense. Among the witnesses
are Moses O'Uncn , Attorney Munn , ex-

To-day , providing the weather Is favorable ,
the Omaha and Council liluffs committees o !
of the boards of trade of the two cities wil
take a look at tlio proposed Clmutauqur
assembly grounds. The Omaha visitors nri
expected to arrive on the 1 : 'iO dummy train
and will ho met at the depot and taken ir
carriages to the ground * . After Inspecting
them at leisure they will bo given a lunch u1
the Hcchtelo hotel ,
The move to secure nn assembly hero meets
with much favor , and these who understand
fully the plans and purposes are very cnthus'
iastic. They realize that when the assembly
is started on the broad basis now laid out , il
will bo the true Chautauquu of the west and
bo to this part of the country what Clmu
tmiqua , N. Y , , Is In the cast. H will draw
during the season thousands upon thousands
of people. During their stny they will nol
pen themselves on the grounds merely , but
will improve the opportunity to visil
Omaha , will enjoy themselves nt i-ak <
Manawn , nnd will nnd numerous attraction !
In this part of the world , The New Yorl
Chautaun.ua is unnblo to accommodate the
whole country , and already there is being es
tablishcd another great assembly for the
south , and there Is strong probability of then
being another largo pne established on the
Pacific coat. Midway between cast nnd wesl
there is need of one , nnd by prompt nctiot
and by generous enterprise in the early or
gunizatlon this great assembly can bo seeurei
for this point. It simply rests with the people
plo whether they will Improve the oppor
tunity now offered , The enterprise Is OIK
which not only interests both cities , but f
wide extent of the surrounding country. Uj
tlio plans as now adopted It will not onlj
furnish attractions which will draw people
for Hfty or one hundred miles , but for live
hundred to a thousand miles around.
It is a greater enterprise than thosa think
who hava not examined the plans. The
grounds selected are picturesque Mid with :
comparatively small expenditure ) can bi
made wonderfully pleasing The railwavs
centering in these two cities make thib i
natural center for such n summer gathering
Western money can secure Just as pi-cat pra
tors , sweet singers , noted men , skillful ar
tistB , and brainy teachers , us eastern money
nnd such entertainment nnd instruction wil
bo as gladly accepted as by eastern people
There seems , no reason why the enterprise
should not bo put at once upon such a strotif
financial basis as to ensure an early stnit
These who Imvo the matter In liand rcalfzi

Three of a Kind.
A fire alarm was turncel in at about half
past 10 yesterday morning from box 29 , near
the corner of Uroadwny anil Urynht street.
The department responded promptly , and in
one minute and fifty seconds from the time
that the number was struck on the big bill on
No. 3 hcse house , had two streams of water
playing on the lire that was blazing through
the roof of the Chicago Tea , Coffco and Spice
company's store nt .T05 Hroaelway. It took
but n short time to extinguish the ilamcs , ns
the building was but one story high , and the
flro could bo easily reached. The cause of
the trouble was n defective flue , and the
flmncs wcro under good headway when dis
covered. The stock of poods in the building
was quickly moved outside , and the loss on
them will not exceed $ ' . ' 5. The entire roof
was destroyed , and about $20 damage was
done to the roof of the adjoining building ,
occupied by Peterson & Anderson , gro
cers. The tea ntul coffee com
pany will occupy temporary epjar-
ters In the rear of Cook's building until
necessary repairs are made , which will re
quire about a week.
The tire lads hud ] ust returned to their
quarters and were putting dry hose upon
their wugotis , when another alarm was
turned in from box 43 , near the Strcctsvlllo
school. A rapid run of over two miles was
made , but the department was nimble to do
anything with the fire , which was about two
thousand feet from the nearest hydrant. The
building belonged to Dr. Bellinger and was
occupied by James Umblo. The furniture
was saved , but the building was burned to
the grouiul. The loss is covered by insur
ance. During the run Nell Voorhis , foreman
of No. 4 , had a narrow escape from serious
injuries while near the corner of Fourth
street and Uroadway. In turning a corner ,
the wagon slid against the street car track
and nearly upset , throwing Voorhis several
feet. Luckily no alighted on his feet , and
made good connections with the truck that
was following close behind.
At 5:15 : in the afternoon a third
call came from box 35 , on
South Main street , near the Chicago , Bur
lington & Qulncy freight house. The entire -
tire department responded promptly and
found the ( Ire to bo in a boxcar in the Rock
Island yards. The blaze WHS caused by a
passing locomotive , and might have been ex
tinguished with n bucket of water without
calling out the department. Notwithstand
ing the fact that it was the second severe run
of the day , good time was made. As this
completed the inevitable "three , " the boys
will now sleep ns soundly as ever. These
are the first llres since January 2 , but the de
partment cot there in n way that showed it
had not forgotten how during its long rest.
Yesterday's . fire at . Sticetsvillo shows
plainly that the residents In that vicinity
have s inadequate fire protection. They pay
their share of the water tax and it is but fair
that they should receive tin equivalent. In
case of a lire in that part of the city , the two
double reels carry all the hose that is taken
there , and that is noout eighteen hundred
feet.
It is so far away from the center of the city
that considerable valuable time is used up in
getting there. A hand reel stationed there ,
with perhaps 2,000 feet of "mill hose , " might
bo of much service , und would give tlio west
ern part of the city much better fire protec
tion. Unless the water mains are extendcil
and additional hydrants located in that vicin
ity , the citizens will not have even reasonable
protection , to say nothing of the best.

Music of Much Merit.
The concert at Broadway Methodist church
was one of the best that it has been the
fortune of a Council Bluffs audience to enjoy
during the present season. The attendance
was good , but the merit of the entertainment
should have drawn a crowded house. Much
regret was felt on account of Mrs. Wads-
worth's illness and her inability to appear ,
for her wonderful voice would
have added much to the pleasure the
occasion furnished. Miss Bella Robinson
added new laurels to her already enviable
reputation as us n pianiste. She is possessed
of every artistic instinct which has been
greatly cultured by indefatigable study and
practice. She already stands at the head
among the pianists in this part of the coun
try and is rapidly winning for herself a re-
congnition among the artists of the west.
The duetts of the Misses Palmer were very
enjoyable. They possess sweet voices which
blend well and their appearance was greeted
by well merited applause. Miss Ida Tostevin
showed a line voice which is under peed con
trol. Her work ably supplemented that of
her associates upon the programme. The
iliite obligate in the second number by Frank
Badollet was splendidly rendered. As a
whole , the concert was uprooounccd success.

Senate.
WABIIIXOTON , April 12. The senate bill tc
increase the pay of army chaplains was re
ported adversely.
A motion to refer the president's message
was taken up and Mr. Coke addressed the
senate. Speaking of the surplus of 1140.000-
000 in the treasury , ho said that the causce
which took that inonoy needlessly from the
pockets of the people and the channels ol
trade were continuing and pi educed more
aggravated results each successive year.
Unless the caused are removed or inodifieel ti
calamity fatally involving all the industrial
Interests of the country must follow. In view
of this emergency the president had urgentlj
recommended such a revision of the tnrifl
and reduction of the duties on imports nt
would reduce the revenues to the limit re
quired for the support of the government ,
The president was simply voicing the do-
inand that came from the people of the whole
country. Mr , Coke said that consumers di < 3
not complain of taxes on distilled spirits , malt
liquors and tobacco , as that tax added noth
ing to the cost of living , and it was nol
strungo that the president should
recommend its retention and that the
necessary reduction of revenue be
raaelo by cutting down tariff taxes ,
If the reduction should bo made in this way
f 5 of the tribute paid by the people to manu
facturers would bo cut off for every f 1 cut on
from the revenue. The high tariff protec
tion was defended on the ground of the ne
cessity of protecting American labor against
European pauper competition , A moro false ,
heartless and groundless pretext had ncvci
been Invented to Justify or cover up a Krcat
wrong.
It was on the farmers of the country that
the protective tariff fell with the most crushing -
ing weight. Wool should bo placed on the
free list , but it ought to bo done in the inter
est of the consumer , not of the manufac
turer. To allow the manufacturer of free ,
untaxcd wool 40 or W i > cr cent protection for
the manufactured article would bo an out
rage. Ho regarded sugar us the best revenue
paying itom.on the tariff list and as one car
rying with it less of incidental burden than
any other , and thought it would thcreforu bo
wise to leave the duty on sugar as it was.
Thg attention of the people could not be di
verted from the real questions at issut ;
by the sectional , "bloody * h.irt" can-
vais already commenced by the republican
party for the | > urpdo Of blinding tup P.CO.UW
might not see bow and
with passion so thc\y \
by whom thov were.bcmgnlunuercd.
At the close of Mr. Cake's speech the senate
resumed the consideration of the bill to pro
vide for the admisMoti ot South Dakota and
the organization of tno territory of North
Dakota. Mr. Turplef spoke In opposition to
the bill of the majority of the committee and
In support of that of the minority. South
Dakota , ho said , whs not a territory , or a di
vision of the union : it wns'rocrely n geograph
ical expression. Hq/lcnlcd the right of the
people of n territory to establish n division
of it and said that the people of the who6 !
union bad the right \o bo heard as to the pro
priety of such division. Thcro heel been an
expression of popular will nt a convention
held In Aberelecn in December last. The
people of the whole territory were against
division and desired an enabling act ns pro
vided in the minority bill. ,
Mr. Cullom spoke in favor of tbo majority
bill. Reviewing the history of the question ,
ho declared that every instance where n vote
was taken in favor of thc admission of the
state of South Dakota , the republican sena
tors had all voted for it and the democrats
nil against it , and when the bill went to the
house of representatives that distinguished
democratic body referred it to the committee
on territories where it was once reportcel
back adversely. This territory had been
knocking at the doors of congress for years ,
with a population very much larger than any
other territory over admitted as a atuto. The
whole opiwsltion to the admission of Dakota
was based on the fact that the democrats did
not want any further political complications
thrust upon the country until after the next
presidential election ,
Mr. Butler of South Carolina said that ho
had voted steadily to admit the whole of Da
kota as a state and would do so now.
M . Cullom , continuing , said : "The fig
ures of the electoral eollegcwill bo changed
before 1892. You may prevent us changing
the figures through the admission of South
Dakota , but wo intend to change the figures
by an honest vote of the states already In.
I think 1 nui warranted in saying that this
bill has como to be a subject of serious
caucus convention by the democrats of the
two houses , and 1 suppose it has been de
creed that no bill shall pass congress admit
ting Dalcota ns a state after the next presi
dential election.
Mr. Butler I am sure my friend from
Illinois will not require the votes of that
territory at the next election. I understand
he has been announced ns a republican can
didate. 1 think ho will have enough votes
without Dakota.
Mr. Cullotn Jlauglungl I think so , too , but
still I would like to have them.
"Perhaps , " Mr. Butler resumed , "our
nmiubl6 friend from Iowa may have some
thing to say on the subject. "
Mr. Allison intimated by a gesture that ho
had nothing to say.
"Then perhaps the senator from Vermont
may have something to soy , " suggested Mr.
Hutlcr.
"I shall have something to say on the sub
ject , " was Mr. Edmunds' response.
The senate proceeded to executive business
and soon adjourned till Monday.
House.
WASHINGTON , April 12. The house met a
11:45 : this morning , in continuation of the ses
sion of Wednesday , April 4. Heed of Maine ,
instantly demanded the regular order. Han-
dall of Pennsylvania , , asked unanimous con
sent to make a statement , but was shut oft
by shouts for the regular order from the re
publican side. Cox ? of New York , moved to
adjourn , and at the demand of Heed the yeas
and nays wcro ofdcred on this motion.
The house , by a vote of 130 to 133 , refused
to adjourn. The announcement was received
with loud cheers by the republicans.
McMillan moved a call of the house to com
pel the attendance of absentees. On n vivo
voce vote the demand was defeated am ! on n
standing vote the democrats suddenly
changed tactics and voted against their own
motion in order to aUow ] another vote on ad
journment which was suddenly moved by
Cox , lu the hope that stragglers enough had
come into the house since the first vote to
change the result. The vote resulted : Yeas ,
148 ; nays , 137 , so that the house was declared
adjourned until to-niprrow. The democrats
In their turn made the ball ring with their
applause to celebrate the breaking of the
great deadlock in its ninth day.
