TJin WESTERN DAXK1XO IffTEttEST.
The rolatlvo flljanclal importance of
the western states , ns shown by the bank
statistics just issued from the office of
the comptroller of the cujrroncy , will bo
both surprising nnd interesting lo most
people who concern themselves regard
ing matters of this character. The re
ports of the national banks were for the
20th of February of this year , nt which
date there were twelve hundred nnd
sovontcon banks In the western states ,
This was nearly double the number in
the Now England nnd middle states ,
moro than twice the number in the
middla nnd southern states , nnd very
nearly equal to the number in the
middle , southern and Pacific Stales.
The whole number of national banks In
the country , February 20 , was thrco
thousand ono hundred and savmity , BO
that the western states had within thrco
hundred and sixty-eight of ono-lmlf the
national banks in the country.
In the amount of capital the middle
states exceeded the western by seven
teen million dollars , but the western
states were ahead of every other sec
tion. They were also largely ahead of
all but the middle states in the amount
of deposits and the amount of
loans nnd discounts. In surplus nnd
profits Iho Now England and the middle
dlo states make n larger showing than
Iho western. These figures conspicu
ously exhibit the great importance of
the western states in the financial af
fairs of the nation , and the strength of
these states in this respect is growing
steadily and moro rapidly than that of
any other section.
SCHOOL HOUSES AXD SCHOOL
JJOA'DS.
To keep pace with the rapid growth
of this city , and consequent heavy increase -
crease of school population , the board
of education is compelled to construct
several new school buildings this year.
This is an imperative want , which can
not well bo deferred. The enormous
revenue derived through the license
system will scarcely meet the demands
for running expenses , which might bo
curtailed in various directions without
materially interfering with the ulli-
cioncy of the schools.
The funds for building school houses
must , therefore , necessarily bo raised
by the issue of school bonds.
The problem with which the board of
education is now expected to grapple is
ho.v to provide the suburban population
with accessible school houses , and meet
the wants of the shifting population in
the con tor of the city.
Within five years the resident portion
tion of the city has witnessed what
might bo called a revolution. The con
struction of business blocks , warehouses
nnd factories ; the extension of depot
grounds has gradually crowded the
school population from what was the
cast half of the original town silo , over
the sloping hillH to the west , south and
north.
The school houses erected , for the ac
commodation of the school population
of the lower wards nro now in the busi
ness district , and must soon bo aban
doned altogether. To meet the de
mands of the present day and make
provision for our future wants , the
school buildings to bo constructed this
year should bo planned with a view to
the future as well as present popu
lation. , Those constructed in moro
densely populated sections of the city
will have to bo on n scale commensurate
with the demand , and the suburban
school buildings bhuuld bo planned with
n view to future enlargement.
The people of Omaha have always
been very liberal in voting school bonds ,
oven when the reckless methods of the
board Imvo not inspired public
confidence. This time , however , they
will insist upon knowing just where
the school houses arc to bo planted and
what dimensions nnd accommodations
the projected school houses will luvvo.
From time to time there have been
various projects for enlarging the high
school , imd this project will probably
bo brought forward among others. Wo
very much doubt the wisdom of making
any addition to the high school build
ing this season. If provision is to bo
made for accommodating the pupils in
the lower grades that reside in the
neighborhood of the high school fiquaro ,
a new site should bo purchased nnd n
firnt-olass buildingmodoletl according to
mcdoi'n city school houses should bo
erected thereon. Such a building is
needed now , and always will bo desir
able in that , section of the city. The
sooner the site for nucli n building is se
cured and the school .house erected the
hotter.
The hip h school building must erelong
long bo vacated by all lower grade
pupils , nnd it should bo romodolud for
its exclusive use for high school pur
poses. If wo arc to hnvo awing to that
structure it should bo designed for high
bohool uses , nnd made adaptable for a
normal donnrtmont , which sooner or
later must bu added to the high school.
Wo maUo these suggestions now in
order that the board may make no mis
take in its bond schema. A reasonable
amount of school bonds will bu cheer
fully voted , but wild-oat schemes or
manifest jobs will defeat the \vholo
proposition.
THE Dill FT OF
The census of Douglas county just
complied by the county superintendent ,
confirms the deductions made by Tin :
BIK : that the growth of population in
substantial and parmancnt , The enu
meration of school children In pust
years furnUhod a correct basis for an es
timate of the population. In 1685 , them
were eleven thousand two hundred and
two children of school age In Omaha ,
Multiplying this numbtir by five nnd
one-naif , the usual ratio , the population
of the city was sixty-one thoucnnd six
hundred and eleven. These figures
were confirmed by the fituto census
tukon three months later ( nlxty-ono thou
sand eight hundred nnd thirty-live ) .
The enumeration for 1S80 shows n total
of twenty thousand two hundred and
olghty-throo children in Omaha ,
or a population of ono hun
dred nnd eleven thousand , live
hundred and fifty-six , nnd in Douglnn
county twenty-four thousand , six hun
dred and forty-six , nnd n population of
ono hundred nnd thirty-five thousand ,
11 vo hundred and sixty-three. The 4n-
crease during the past year did not np-
pronch that of the two previous years.
Tn 1887 , the year of our greatest growth ,
the increase amounted to twenty-one
thousand , four hundred and forty-nlno ;
In 1883 , twenty thousand , four hundred
and forty-nine , nnd in 1839 , eight
thousand , three hundred nnd forty-
throe. Estimating the population of
South O in aim at ten thousand , the popu-
InUon of the county outside of the twin
ciucs is fourteen thousand nnd seven.
The census shows very clearly the
drift of the residence population of
Omaha. Senator Mandorson has
recently assorted that the trend
of business nnd population in
Omaha was north and west. No statis
tics were furnished to support the
claim , for the very important reason
that none could bo had. The truth is
that the school census for the past four
years proves conclusively that the ma
jority of the population is south of
Fnrnnm street. In 1885 , the population
south of that street was thirty-three
thousand nnd ninety-six ; north side ,
twcnty-nlno thousand five hundred nnd
fifteen , n difference of thrco thousand
live hundred nnd eighty-four in favor
of the south. In the succeeding two
years the population of the south sldo
increased to forty-three thousand three
hundred and eighty-three ; north
sldo , thirty-eight thousand six hundred
nnd eighty , : v difference of
four thousand seven hundred and thrco.
Up to April of the present year the
south side increased to sixty thousand
and lifty-nino , north side to fifty-one
thousand four * hundred and ninety-nine ,
a preponderance of eight thousand five
hundred and sixty in favor of the south
sido.
sido.Those
Those figures are based on an equal
division of the population of the Third ,
Fourth nnd Ninth wards , which is a fair
proportion , with.Farnnm street as the
dividing lino. They prove beyond any
doubt that the trend of poulation is to
the south and west.
PIKIIAFS the news of the opening to
settlement of the now territory , with
the knowledge that four now states are
to bo admitted Into the union this year ,
will account for the stimulus which em
igration from Europe to the United
States has suddenly received. It is au
thoritatively stated that last week
twenty thousand persons loft the vari
ous parts of Europe for this country ,
while engagements were made which
indicate that the tide of now comers is
likely to bo maintained at largo figures
for some time to come. There is cer
tainly no attraction for these people
ple in the present industrial condi
tion of the country , but as
many of them as come with the moans
to provide themselves with homes will
find in the west the opportunity to do
so. It is to bo supposed that these emi
grants nro generally of a character to
bo acceptable to us , since it has como to
bo pretty thoroughly understood that
the day has gone by when European
countries can unload upon us their pau
pers , criminals and other objectionable
classes. A short time ago it appeared
that the immigration of the present
year was likely to show a considerable
falling off as compared with last year ,
but the present indications are that it
will equal , if not exceed , that of 1838.
Mu. GKOUGK W. ELLIOTT , a statis
tician of Rochester , N. Y. , has been
making n study of the growth of taxes
in our cities , and linds that the average
tax per capita is about eleven dollars ,
while the average per capita of not in
debtedness is twenty-six dollars. Now
York City , according to his estimates ,
has a tax per capita of twenty-one dollars
lars , Philadelphia of ton dollars , Chicago
cage seven dollars and seventy-five
cents , Boston twenty-two dollars , Min
neapolis fourteen , Omaha twelve , and
so on. While these figures can not betaken
taken ns absolutely correct , duo to the
fact that the population of many of the
cities cited was made on estimates , it is
quite apparent that taxation is too high
in our cities , duo almost wholly to mu
nicipal extravagance.
TIIEHE could perhaps bo no better
evidence of the fact that prohibition
does not prohibit than is supplied by
the internal revenue statistics in regard
to the liquor traffic in Kansas. Those
show that in the last year of license ,
1881 , the number of tax stamps issued to
liquor dealers was loss than nineteen
hundred , while in 1887 the number was
nearly throe thousand , there having
been a steady annual increase from the
second year of prohibition , 1881J. Those
figures show that there has boon moro
drinking since than before prohibition ,
except during the first year of that
policy , nnd they nro indisputable. Pro
hibition in Kansas has boon a good
thing only for the revenues of the gen
eral go'vcrnmont.
Tin : opening of the Sioux reservation
in Dakota this summer will doubtless
furnish n repetition of the stampede of
land hunters to Oklahoma. It is esti
mated that twelve million acres of land
will bo added to the public domain , if
the Indians consent. The commis
sion recently appointed by the govern
ment will proceed to Dakota early next
month to negotiate for the land , nnd
the Bontimonts expressed by the leading
chiefs of the tribes foreshadow success.
The land , however , will not bo thrown
open to settlement on condition similar
to Oklahoma. It will bo sold at a price
fixed by congress , and the purchaser
must in addition comply witli the homo-
Hlnad law. This provision is intended
lo shut out speculators and encourage
bomv fide settlors.

LINCOLN , April 21. )
The cold-blooded murder of Bob Woods la
still tlio clilof theme ot onnvorsallon on the
streets of Lincoln , nnd the excitement h.xs
by no mentis abated. It Will not bo surpris
ing if n lynching party results. This Is
talked seriously among the colored citizens
of the city , nnd there nro not n few of the
whiten who will lend n helping hand It n
decisive move Is made to mote out summary
justtco. The theory grows that Sheriff
Mcllck has obtained n confession from
Taylor , nnd that ho withholds it for fear
that exasperated citizens may nrlso in their
might and take the execution of Iho law Into
their own hands. The ahurlA's guarded
statement that ho had Information from
Tnvlor that went to strengthen the bo-
llof that the right patties arc in
the hands of tlio authorities goes
n long wuy toward convincing the interested
public that this is n correct vlow of the case *
Not n few colored cltlzcns.nbruptly say : "I
"
know Taylor killed llob , nnd that "Curtis
hired him to do It. "
Woods , although sovonty-ono years of afro ,
was n remarkably wcll-prcsorvccl man. lie
was as Hlho nnd willowy ns n man of foi ty ,
and was no mean adversary In a rough-ami-
tutnblo fight , ns dozens of his rnco In this
city stand willing to testify from personal
experience , lint ho was generally quiet nnd
peaceable , and was never known to provoke
n quarrel unless under the influence of
whisky , ills eccentricities mntlo him u
pi-cat many friends. Ho was droll , witty ,
and never failed to retort when some
"smart ulcck" undertook to make him
the butt of ridicule , nnd ho very often
turned the laugh.
Woods' funeral look place this afternoon
from Iho African M. 13. church on 13 street.
Kov. J. W. IJraxtou preached the sermon.
The deceased served thrco years In the
union army and the services were therefore
under the auspices of the Grand Army of
the Hopublic. The procession was led by
the Cadet band. Woods is the first occupant
of the portion of the cemetery sot apart for
colored soldiers. Ho was burled at the ox-
pcnso of the state nnd the government will
provide hint n mununicnt.
To illustrate the estimation in which 13ob
was hold in the city , n lady of position and
wealth drove up to Undertaker He.xton's
yesterday and said to him : "Woods must
not bo buried as a pauper. I will p.iy the
expenses of the funer.il If necessary. "
lirespcctivo of color , old soldiers honored
old Hob Woods by following his remains to
the silent city of the dead. The funeral
cortege was the largest that over honored
the demise of a colored citircn in the city of
Lincoln , and in this she did woll.
IMrntlliiK For n Brotlicr.
Mrs. Dortlm Eustcr. of Edgar , called upon
Governor Tlmycr , to day , in behalf of her
brother. Henry Tedrahn , who Is now serving
n twenty years' sentence in the stnto pen
for murder in the second degree. Mrs.
Euster supports her plea for oxccutivo
pardon , witli n petition signed by over thrco
hundred citi/cns of Grcoloy and Howard
counties. The citizens of Scotia , near where
the crime was committed , for which ho was
tried and sentenced , signed it almost on
masse. A number of St. Paul citizens also
signed the paper.
Young Tcdrnhn was tried for shooting and
killing u young man by the name of Pnxton ,
nbout eight years ago , nnd has now served n
llttlo over seven years of his sentence. He
was but seventeen years of ago when ho
committed the rash deed. The pica of in
sanity was set up when ho was tried on the
charge of murder , but it was not sustained.
In view of his good standing prior to the
commission of the crime , and the excellent
standing of his family , ho was found guilty
on the lessor count of the crime , and thus
sa\cd from the gallows. There uro a num
ber of phases to the pica the sister is urging ,
nnd it is possible that she may bo instru
mental in securing her brother's freedom.
Boiler Hoiibf ! IM.uis Chosen.
The board of public lands and buildings
met to day to open the bids for plans and
spoeilications for the capitol building boiler
house and the asylum boiler house at Hast
ings. Competitive plans wnro submitted by
Architects Ellis and Gray for the capitol
house and bv Architects Wclgel and Kitten-
house , of Hastings , of the asylum houso.
The plans looked very pretty on paper ,
showing their towers from 78 to 115 feet ,
nnd lines that cleverly indicuto.l the shortest
possible poln ; between two angles. The
board examined the pictures with n critical
eye , and in a manner that indicated that
they knew just what they were doing. Well
they might ; for tlio interested picture
makers stood ever them nnd explained away <
the Intrlcftclis of their plans , nnd undo
thorn very plain. The good polnti vrcra
marked as carefully ni thouKh the board
were grading for nn oratorical contest , nml
when nlono they summed conclusions and
it was found thnt Gray had won the con
tract for the capital house and UUtonhouso
for the naylutn houso.

Next Friday evening the board of educa
tion will meet to discuss nnd dotormtuo niton
the nmount of bonds which they will ask Iho
people to vote for needed school facilities.
A member of the board mndo the following
stttcmcnts to n reporter. They nro printed
for what they nro worth :
"Last fall it was estimated that f 100,000
was necessary to moot the growing needs of
the schools , ana Icavo n handsome sum over
for nny unforeseen needs. Aicsolution favorIng -
Ing the Issuance of thnt nmount was favora
bly considered by the board as n cotnmitteo
of the whole , but it was discovered that thcru
was not sufllclcnt tlmo between tjmt date
ami election day to advertise the matter the
number of weeks required by law.
"Tho matter was the then dropped , but In
January another resolution was In
troduced nstctng for the sum ot $200,000 In
bonds , many of tlio members behoving that
the people would not favor the largo amount
first nslted. This resolution passed but as
the cltbcns wore to vote on the issuance of
bonds for the cltv hall February 8. it was
therefore doomed not politic to saddle the
other bonds on them.
"Somo of the members did not favor tlio
last nmount nslted for , ns It would fall to
provide for n permanent building at West
Omaha , Lowe's addition and Fifth nnd Hick
ory. It was estimated later that Hurtuiau ,
Long nnrt Central schools were the places in
greatest need of buildings , nnd thnt $217,500
would bo necessary to moot this demand.
"Accordingly Dr. Savillo Introduced a resolution
elution asking for the Issuance of $275,000 in
bonds. The resolution , however , was laid
over for future consideration.
"Tho Hartnnm building has boon con
demned , as Is well known , nnd n now struc
ture Is necessary. At the Long school , if nn
eight-room building were erected , it Is said
that seven rooms could bo Immediately
filled. It is thought that the Central school ,
which Is now holu in the high school build
ing , will soon bo entirely driven out by the
growth of the high school Itsolf. A now
building , therefore , is deemed a necessity.
' The Hickory school is said to bo needing
ing n permanent building badly. Two of the
rooms of this school nro in frame buildings ,
two arc in store rooms and ono Is in a
dwelling houso. Besides this.nlargo number
of the Hickory pupils have been crowded
out and sent over to the Paclfiu school which
in turn 1ms to rent four rooms that nro
termed 'frame ovens. ' If a twelve-room
building were erected nt Hickory , It Is esti
mated that nine would bo filled Immediately.
"Dr. Savillo says , however , that the , wants
of the Hickory school cannot bo mot If only
S'375,000 is voted for impiovouicnts.
"Tho bonds nslcuil for will bo voted on nt
ono time , but only about J50.000 Issued at n
timo. They are to run from ten to twenty
years nnd draw 5 per rent , interest. It Is
urged that paying Interest on these bonds is
much cheaper than paying rent while much
better school facilities are enjoyed. "
The Fort Ijocntfon Petition.
From J. T. Clarke it was learned yesterday
morning that the petitions recently circu
lated among business men for the location efFort
Fort Omaha nt Uollovuo have not been sout
to Washington , but remain horo. Ho soys
that they nave boon signed by over seven
hundred business men.
"Thoro is no hurry , " said Mr. Clarke ,
"about ficndiiiK them to Washington ; there's
plenty of time for that , and , niiywny.'Mvo.srn
not going to bother ourselves much about
the sale of a few paltry acres of land. "

says ho has gene cost.
This picture .shows two foundresses , one at work the other not able to ,
hccai'sc her hands nre cracked itnd soic she has been using soap containing
too much alkali. Read Prof , Lceds's report.
Gentlemen : The sample of " IVORY " Soap which you sent to
me for analysis has been received , and you will find analysis herewith.
As a result , the "Ivouv" Soap while strongly clcansinrj , leaves the
skin soft and pleasant to the touch instead of harsh , uncomfortable ,
and liable to chap , as results from the use of many common laundry
soaps , in which the ratio of uncornbincd to combined alkali is large.
The percentage of uncombined fat in the " IVOKV " is , very small ,
hence the lather h clean , white and abundant , with entire absence
of oil or grease. There are no injurious substances.
r-4' The above considerations show the "Iv'QKv" to be a pure soap
and excellent for laundry use.
Very Respectfully Yours ,

A WORD OF WARNING ,
There are many while soaps , each represented lo be "just as good as the ' Ivory V
they ARE NOT , but like nil counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Atk for "Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting It.
