< iner a Long niul Illt-
< tcr Tight.
The erection of a temporal building on the
high school grounds vras the ono absorbing
topic at the board of education meeting last
night.
Immediately nftcr roll call a resolution
passed by the Central labor union , requestIng -
Ing the boardof education to take stcpi
toward securing the location of a branch of
the state normal school In Omaha , was read
anil referred to the committee on normal
school * . The committee on supplies recom
mended that the contracts for supplying
lump coal be awarded to Havens k Co. , and
for nut coal to Mount t Griflln. Adopted.
The committee on claims reported with a
recommendation that claims afTKrecitlns
t-lM ; .SJ be paid. The report was adopted
und the amounts ordered paid.
The balance duo William Cnllcn on the
Franklin school site was ordered paid.
The report of the committee on Judiciary ,
recommending the payment of { 3.OJO to Mr.
Ambler as the balance duo upon a school site ,
was received and adopted.
The committee on high school recom
mended the employment of Mr. Fred 1'er-
htns osenpneorof the nunuul training de
partment at n salary of 575 p-r month. The
peport was adopted.
The question of crectinpa temporary hulld-
In ? on the bl b. school proands was thrown
wile open by the introduction of the follow
ing resolution oy Mr. Coryell :
Ilceolred. That In order to relieve the overcrowded -
crowded cunOltlon of the lilch school hulM-
Inz. nnd to provide uec < - ary room and school
f aclllt If . n one-story , clRlit-rrxnn , brick , metal
roof ljulidlns as un annex to the hlh school
bulIdliiK. for high school , colli'jto and other ed
ucational purrKM-s bo erected on the lilsli
school grounds ; that the committee on build-
In is und property DO Instructed to furnish
plan * and specifications ana report at this
uicetln ? .
Mr. Martin opposed the resolution , and
threw out some cutting remarks about ex-
members of the board making themselves
very ofllcious in lobbying with the members
of the board upon this building question.
Mr. Babcock lookup the llRht and answered
Martin vigorously. Ivclley also spoke In
lavorof the new temporary buildlnp on the
high school grounds. Ho snid that the city
council had acted very inconsistently by ex
tending the flro limits to the high school
grounds in order to prevent the
erection of a frame building
there , while they permit three frame build-
inps to be erected on South Eleventh street ,
close up to solid blocks of bnclt buildings.
Mr. McConnell spoke at some length and
decfdedlv In favor of the erection of a building
on the high school campus. He said that the
condition of the Fourth ward at present was
without a parallel in the history" Omaha.
The people were obliped to send their children
all over the city to secure facilities , anjl it Is
wrong for the school board to turn a deaf ear
to the just demands of the people of that
ward.
Morris Morrison also favored the erection
c ! n Imildmp on the high school prouniis.
Mr. Poppleton % vas in favor of the resolu
tion , but offered nn amendment to strike out
nil that part which referred to the building
as an "annex to the hieh school" and to be
used for "high school , college and other edu
cational purposes. " Mr. Poppleton said :
"We have a right to build a structure there
for common school purposes , and let us go at
this matter in u way that -will
set the minds of the i > eoplo at rest
for all time and give them to understand
tnat those grounds arc Intended for school
purposes and under the control of tno board
of education , to be used as the board may sea
_ _ , fit , whether that bo for high school or graded
school nui-jwses. "
Cr.Olbbs spoke In favor of the resolution ,
because ho said he saw no other way by
which the people of tbo Fourth ward could
be accommodated.
Morrison moved an amendment to limit the
cost of tbo building to tr.OOO , and Dr. Gibbs
moved that the limit bo placed at ? d,000.
These amendments were lost.
The original resolution was then put to a
vote ana was carried by a vote of b to 5.
These votinjc in the affirmative were Babcock -
cock , Coryell , Gibbs , Kelley , McOonnell ,
Poppleton , Spauldlng and Wehrer. Those
voting in the negative were Coburn , Martin ,
Morrison , Points and Goodman.
The matter of transferring children from
one school to another was placed In the hands
of Superintendent James.
Mr. Babcock from the committee on build
ings and property , although not chairman of
the committee , submitted a report upon the
resolution Just offered by Mr. Coryell to the
effect that the committee had considered the
resolution and now recommended that the
secretary be authorized to advertise at once
for bids for the proposed buildlngon the hl h
Xjcbool prounds in accordance with specifica-
tipus submitted , and that the building be
ready for use by October 15,1S90.
Mr. Martin was upon his feet Instantly and
It was evident that no was not
in good humor. Ho called attention 5tU
the fact that the committee had
mc.t at 11 o'clock yesterday and miido outn
report upon n resolution that had not como
before the board until 10 o'clock last night ,
In short , the resolution offered by Coryell
had never been before the committee , and-yet
the committee brougnt m a report on the
satno. Martin hold that it was impossible to
accept a report in so irregular a nwnner. leis
nlso referred feelingly to the fact that he , as
chairman of the committee , had not been :
asked to subirit the report of the committee.
After twenty minutes of wranpllnp.tho resolution
elution -was recommitted , and the board took
a recess of ten minutes to permit the com
mittee to consider the na
matter nnd bring in a
rejxjrU
After the recess the same report was
brought in by the committee , and Martin also
submitted n minority report , in which he
stated Unit in his IBe
Judgment there was no ne
cessity for an eight-room building on the high :
school grounds , nnd that facilities for the
children of that locality could bo provided
elsewhere , and that tbo condition of the
lliiances at present will not warrant the ex
penditure of the money necessary to erect
this builJIup.
The minority report was defeated , and the
majority report was adopted by the same vote
of a to r . The board then aJJourned.

evening at the corner of Sixteenth and How
ard. As she crossed Sixteenth street a team
nnd buggy driven by a lady came swinpin g
around the corner and before the lady on
foot was aware of her danger she was struck
by the horses and knocked down.
By the most astonishing activity she
managed to spring up and out from
under the horses before any very serious
damage was done , although she was probably
injured more thin she would admit. Her
dress was almost torn oft and her clothing
was shamefully soiled. The lady was helped
Into the drug store at the corner and a physi
cian was called. He found that there were
no bones broken and that the injuries were
not of an alarming nature.

Lutheran church today , comes from Hills-
borough , I1L , after a very successful pas
torate of four years. Ho Is about thirty years
old. Ho attended ' \Mttcnburg seminary ,
and afterwards took a coarse at Yale college ,
where he graduated with honors.
He preached at Kountze Memorial church
once during the past summer , when here
simply on a visit. The members of the church
were very hiphly pleasf d with his effort at
that time. Hevas subsequently urged to
accept a call from the church , and nftcr duo
consideration and consultation with promi
nent heads of the denomination , was con
vinced thatitwas his dntyto come toOmahn ,
The people of his present congregation are
Jubilant over his acceptance , and that with

Serial Sermons.
Dr. A. W. Lamar of the First Baptist
church has not taken a vacation this summer
and his congregations have been large
through the warm weather. Ho will leave
this week for Minneapolis on a short vaca
tion , after which ho will open a series of ser
mons on "Character Building. " At the dose
of that scries he will begin another upon
"Tho Home. " D uring the coming winter Dr.
Lanar intends to preach still another scries
of sermons on "The Lifo of Jesus , "
and later upon "Typical Characters
of the Xe\v Testament , " lie will also pub
lish another book , taking for a theme , "LIsrht
on the Path of fc-ife , " or "Stumbling Blocks
Removed. "
Dr. Lamar has found the preachlnp of
serial sermons very effective and profitable.
He says that his congregation becomes very
inueh interested in them and much more good
is effected by a subject treated in that way
than by preaching in the "hlt-or-miss" fashIon -
Ion ,
SpeaWnp of the results of Uev. Dowie's
work in Omaha the doctor said :
"It is wonderful that Mr. Dowie did any
good at all in Omaha , considering the wide
spread unbelief that prevailed here. Ttie
greater part of what Mr. Do\vie preaches ! ; >
not at all new. There are a number of men of
world-wide reputation preaching substan
tially the same thing. I know personally of
several very wonderful cures that were
effected In Omaha. Mr. Dowie taught some
thing regarding sickness that I regard as an
exaggerated application of the scripture , but
it would bo impossible to overturn all that
he teaches from a scriptural view. "
Kev. Mr. Holt Keslcns.
About threa years ago the church-going
people who reside in the vicinity of Cali
fornia ana Thirty-second streets saw the
necessity of organizing a Sunday school in
that vicinity. Classes wera first held hi a
ttEl
grove during the summer. When winter
Eldi
drew near the school had grown to such pro
portions that it seemed undesirable to dis
IXb
band. ; With the asslstence of church people
IE other parts of the city and other benevo
lently inclined citizens a lot was secured and ,
a small chapel was built and
the Park Place Congregational society was
organized. Kov. M. L. Holt was called
tcU take charge of the congregation. Since
then the membership has constantly increased
irfi members and In spiritual zeal. The
financial burden , however , has been very
heavy. . The citv has not grown in that di
rection so rapidly DA had beea anticipated ,
and : ? omeof the members of the church ! have
moved away from locality. This has , of
course , weakened the congregation and the
espenso of keeping up Jjoth preaching and
Sunday school has become too great for the
people , to bear.
Kov. Mr. Holt has , therefore , decided to
resign his pastorate in order to lighten the
rb
burden and the Sunday school , which now
rh
has 140 children in attendance , will
bo con tin uej wbilo the congregation will pa
tiently wait for better times , when the debt
renting upon them will be 'lifted and the
church again supplied with a pastor.
A Tribute to Dr. Ayres.
The following tribute to the late Dr.Gcorgo
B. Ayrcs was delivered at his funeral by
Rev. C. W. Savidge and is reproduced by
THE BEE at the request of the widow of the
deceased :
\Ve come hero today as friends , neighbors
and brothers to pay the last tokens of respect
uud love to the memory of Dr. George B.
Ayres.
I realize that I have lost a personal friend
in this man. A few weeks ago , when I tooK
the pastorate of Newman M. E. church. Dr.
Ayres said to hh wife aa no saw me pass :
"I believe in that man , I believe he is hon
est and sincere and I shall help him all I can
and shall find my way to his church. "
But the rider on the palo hon > o called for
him and he answered "aye. "
A few years auo I met Dr. Ayrcs m a mat
ter that concerned us both , and ho deeply
impressed me , once for all , with his splendid
manhood. He was my ideal man in his per
son tall as to form'with a refined nnd in
tellectual face , and , at all times , and In all
places , and to all people , the courtly , chival
rous gentleman. He had a fine mind by
nature and this had been matured and
rendered most effective by profound study.
It is admitted by all that he was an able phv-
sician and surgeon. Thoueh ho was only in
the bloom and Howerof his young manhood ,
he took very high rank in his profession.
He read disease as we read tne pages of an
open book , and God helped him to administer
rignt remedies. In difficult ca es of surgery
ho was at ) home. Though be had a most
tender heart he was also the possessor of
nerves of btcel which never failed him when
human life hung in the balance.
Ho was devo" dto his profession. When
the blizzard of 1 S5 tilled the roads with snow
so that it was impossible for him to drive his
horses , at the peril of bis own life , in the
dead of night , ho walked long distances to
bring relief to the suffering.
I said a moment aero that this man was
kind-hearted ho was kind even to the lower
orders of creation. He would not set his foot
on a worm that crossed his path. The last
Sunday morning thit he spent on earth , ho
was dririni ? to the home nf his narrnts in
company with his beloved wife , when he saw
in the road a U'.tle chicken that had wandered
from the brood. Stopping his carriase , ho
alighted and returned the little lost ono to its
mother.
Was it strange that men and women in
stinctively trusted this man I After ho was
dead his near neighbor said :
"He never deceived me , bo was Incapable
of falsehood. "
A noted man in this ci'y said "He was the
best friend I ever had ; lie brought mo back
from the gates of death. "
He was a busy man a tireless worker. Ho
never Idled a moment. His hands were never
folded until In his coffin. Ho was always at
the bedside of the sick or in the study.
Ho was a practical man. He attended
strictly and faithfully to the details of busi.
ness. Those who are to look over his books
will find that ho bad the reins of bis business
well in hand and that ho was
wonderfully blessed in temporal af
fairs , adding one piece of property after
another to his estate. While many another
dissipated and was protllgato of money , ho
was sober , frugal and thnfty.
What an example bo was to you&g business
and professional men !
The years of his life were few , but he lived
intensely and made a splendid record.
Wo leave him in the hands of hb God.
To bis wife and his father and mother , I
would say , "The same Christ who wept at
the grave of Lazarus with the sisters , is hero
to sustain and comfort and bless you.
To you who are his neighbors and friends
and brother * , I would say ;
"Let us be ready for the great Journey ho
has taken. " And if you ask me what that
preparation KI vrwjldlwply , "Implicit childlike -
like taith in the atoftement of Jeans and
obedience to the commands of the lowly
Xazarcno. Amen. "

Report of the Second Annual 3Iret-

counting Officers at
Capo Mny.
The report of the second annual mectlny of
the Association of American llalhvay Ac
counting officers , held at Capo May , X. J. , In
Suly lasthasjustbecn published , and Omaha
men have coma In for their share of the
places of trust. Mr. "W. Randall of the B. A ;
M. railroad Is chairman oC the standing pass ;
cnger committee , and Mr. VanKuraa of the
Union Pacific railway la on the standing
freight committee.
The association is of comparatively recent
origin , having boea organized in New York
ha July , 1SS3 , with M. M. Klrkman , dee
president of the Chicago Sc Northwestern
raihvay , as president.
It groiv out of a general desire on the part
of accounting ofllcers for more uniform
methods of conducting tha accounting of
railroad , steamship and other transportation
companies , and a knowledge that such re
sults could be the more readily consummated
through an association that would bring Its
members in personal contact n-Uh ono
another and facilitate the exchange of opin
ions.
licalhlng , from the experience of kindred
organizations. bo\v much of their success was
directly attributable to the opportunities
offered through their meetings for direct dis
cussions of measures of interest and import
ance , and how largely misunderstandings or
strong personal views wew removed or modi-
fled thereby , the Idea of an ussociation of ac
counting officers was conceived and carried
out , autl it at once sprang into favor and im
portance.
The success of the association has fully
3 ustifled the expectations of. Its promoters ,
and it is rapidly assuming largo proportions ,
already numbering among its heartiest sup
porters a majority of the important transpor
tation companies of the country.

association and of the different committees is
