CHARGES OF BOODLlNG FREELY MADE ,
Member Hunter Mukcw Some I'liiln
HcmurkH to tlio Ilonrd IilNt of
tlii ! IlookN .Selected for
the Vuur.
The school board hold a special meeting
last night. It was IntandoJ to bo secret
mooting , and so well was the Intention put
Into effect thai none but tbo members ot the
board , the secretary , the superintendent , the
Janitor , a reporter for THE HKK and the llttlo
bird from whom the latter got wind of the
holding of the meeting , know anything about
it beforehand.
The main business before tbo board was
tbo report of the committee which was ap
pointed some tlmo ago to select the text
books for use in the nubile schools for the
next llvo years. Chairman Schoentgon of
this committee read his report and ut once
moved Its a'dontlon , and that the president
uml secretary bo Instructed at once to draw
tip u con tract in accordance with its pro
visions ,
Stacy , the other member of the committee ,
seconded the motion , nnd then remarks wore
lu order. For n moment there was n lull ,
which was broken by Shubort moving to lay
the motion on tlio table for u week to give
the members of the Hoard u chance to look
over the list , us ho noticed there were many
changes made from the list now in use.
Hunter seconded this motion , and followed
up with n speech In which ho bitterly criti
cised buporintomlont S.iwyor and the mem
bers of the committee Schoontgen , St and
President Wells , for their evident desire to
keep the other membcri in ignorance of what
books wore to bo recommended. Ho bad
been boarding nt the same place with the
superintendent , but ho had never heard a
word from the lips of that gentleman on the
subject.
" 1 tell you , " said ho , ' 'it looks very much
as though there was u nigircr In the wood
pile and and the nigger stuck his handout ,
somebody took hold of It and found monov
Insldu It. What other reason can bo assi
gned for this evident determination on the
part of the members of tills committee to
thrust this report down the throats of the
members whether they will have It or uoti'
Tills plain accusation of bribery caused n
sensation , and Stacy jumped to his feet , and
In u volco that trembled with excitement ho
fork Hunter to task for what ho termed the
"cheap buncombe. " that lie was trying to
work off on the boarb.
Schoentgon followed with remarks in
somewhat the same strain , and then Sawyer
made a speech , lie tati'd that no member of
the committee had known what books he had
expected to recommend until Friday morn
ing , and that It was neither Hunter's
nor anybody else's business what
ho was going to do until ho laid his report
before the committee. Ho thought that
when bo had been laboring day after day for
weeks on this very report , putting in time
that ho would much rath r have spent at
'
Munawa or Coney Island , in the study'of dry
text books , ho might at least be considered
honest in his Intentions , oven if mistaken.
Ito denounced anv attack such as Hunter
had made upon him as ungcntlemnniy , and
challenged anyone to point out any dishon
esty that might bo found in any 'business
ho had transacted.
The oratorical fireworks did not cease for
half an hour or more , and In the meantime
these not immediately interested sat ono side
and enjovcd the free show.
Wells put himself on record as opposed to
postponing the consideration of thu report
until some tlmo in the future , on the ground
that there was no time for dolav now , it
being only four weeks until thooponing of the
school year. Stacy was aUo opposed to tbo
postponement , because when the agents
found out tho. true st ate of affairs they
would como swarming in by the dozen , and
tlio mcmburs of the board would have no
further peace until the question was settled.
The motion to postpone was finally lost ,
Hunter nnd Shubort being the only ones that
voted for it.
The original motion was then put. Hunter
recorded u protest on the ground that the
meeting had not been called according ta
law , ho having received no notice in writing
that the question of school hooks would bo
considered nt this , n special session. After
this protest had been entered upon the min
utes the motion was put , and was adopted
unanimously , to receive the report and
authorize the president and secretary to con
tract with the publishing house for the
boons Thu following is n list of the books
that wore adopted for use.

Judge Deemer hold n session of district
court yesterday. Ono of the Items of busi
ness which came up for attention was the ap
plication of Thomas Green A : Sons to have
the previous order of iho court set nsldo , In
which the compensation hud been lixed for
the assignee nnd his attorneys , Fllcklngcr
Bros , tiled a demurrer In which they alleged
that thu application hud not boon made until
ufter the expiration of the tinio which was
fixed by law for the tiling of claims of that
bert , and they held that thu case could not
bo reopened by the court on that account ,
This demurrer was overruled by the court.
Statements were made by Attorneja Hurl ,
McCubonnd I. N. Fllckmgcr , In which all of
them waxed somuwlmt warm , us well as
decidedly poisonnl , At the clo.se of their
speeches Judge Ueemcr announced that tLo
present session was but a continuance of tbo
March term , aud that therefore ho did not
consider tuo time for tuo flllntf of o&jccllous
to dave clnpsod , as the attorneys for the do-
fcnso held. Ftirthermoro , the assignee was
an ofllcor of the court , and ho thought the
utmost freedom ought to bo allowed for the
Investigation of his business transactions.
Ho also stated that when ho made the order
of court fixing the compensation at 1,000 ho
did It from the conviction that tlio assigned
had done many things for the assignors which
ho could not do ns assignee , nnd that by so
doing great gain to the firm of Green & Son.s
had resulted Ho thought the assignee ought
to bo well paid for this icrvlco and bu bad
fixed the compensation accordingly , Augjst

pumping on the subject of thu removal of the

Is Just nbout ns much in tbo darkness as to
his future moves as the public In coneral.
Ho was unable to give Mr. Wright any In
formation as to whether the works
would bo moved nnywhoro , and
If so to what placi ) they would
be most likely to start. He tnadoono decided
statement , however : ho said that no bonus
that any city might offer would have the
slightest weight In determining the action of
the company In moving or not moving the
smelting works. Iftheyaru iiiovul , Itwill ,
bo becouso the company can mane moro

In Omaha , It will bo because the Interests of

Complaints are coining in from all sides on
account of the practices indulged in by ttie
occupants of the throe buildings at 15 , IT nnd
10 North Main street. The buildings uro
within a couple of hundred feet trom the
business center of the city , nnd yet such dis
gusting orgies uro carried on there every day
that respectable peopln take the other side of
the street rather than bo insulted. This
state of affairs has existed for months past ,
and all efforts to have anything done by thu
city authorities have been fruitless. The
citi/ens who live in the vicinity say that they
now propose to take matters into their own
hands , and that unlcsj something Is done lu
the very near future they will commence
proceedings to have the iiulsanco abated.

MADE ON THE BURLINGTON'S ' APPLICATION ,

I-'OIMII ofiuAnpcnl I-'rco
Cmctno , Aug. S. The board of eommls-
aloucrs of Ibo Western Traflle association
through Chairman WalKcr has Just sub
mitted an opinion on mi application made by
the Culcuzo , Bnrllngtoa t Qulucy railroad
fora readjustment of west-hound salt rates.
Originally salt required for use on the Mis
souri river and beyond was carried from
Michigan nnd New York and furnished a
largo and valuable tnilllc to the Chlcngo
lines , there being a heavy consumption lu the
packing houses as well as through
Chicago and St. Louis in such n
manner as to eqi.allzo the rates.
Subsequently ttio manutarturo of salt
was commenced at Hutchlnson , Kan. , nnd
was developed to tin extent enabling these
salt works to produce u very considerable
output. So far as the Kansas salt was Intro *
ilurud it bad the effect of driving out the
Michigan salt and the struggle between the
hostile Interests was participated in by the
railroads from t.o ! cast nnd from the west
and which made rates Intended to protect
tralllc from their respective sections until
exceedingly low taHITs and general demorali
sation wore the result of competition. After
much profitless negotiation and many confer
ences the roads finally In September , 1VJO ,
agreed upon an adjustment which niailo
the rate from Hutchlnson to Nebraska City ,
Omaha and Council Dlufls on salt In barrels
15 cents and on bulk salt III cents. This put
the rate from Hutchlnson and from Chicago
on an equality to all points In Nebraska on
salt in barrels nnd gave the Kansas lines an
advantage ot U cents in the rite to Omaha ,
Council HlulTs nnd Nebraska City on
bulk salt. The Hurllngton now
wants the west-bound r.itos rostoicd to the
b'isis in effect prior to this adjustment , which
would equal the reduction of the rate from
Chicago. The commissioners do not think
this would correct the dilllculty. and without
granting the Burllnirton's application , they
bugcest that slops be taken to bring the mat
ter before them In the form of an appeal.
They admit that a readjustment In favor of
the Chicago lines sbould be made at Omaha
and Nebraska City.
rilBli TRANSFER lll'.ITSIin.
Chairman Finley of the Western Passenger
association lm : > given his decision in the mat
ter of the application of the Cnicago. St.
Paul & Kansas City for authority to remit the
chnrues for transferring the pasbcngors from
the union depot in Kansas City to Its own
depot. The application shows that with ono
exception other lino.s < loiig ! business at that
gateway enjoy the facilities of the union
depot and tlioir pasfcongors are not subject to
transfer charges. The chalrmao finds that

The bank was ono of the first to require the
aid of the clearing house when the stringency
came last year. It carried heavy savings
deposits and as boon us u rumor thai it was
embarrassed got abroad depositors began to
draw out. On January 1 , however , the state
ments showed about gl.-WJ.OOO deposits. But
it was generally known that ttio president of
the bank , Jacob Krnlgor , sr , was backing the
bridge under construction between this city
and Jellorsonville , Imt. , nnd work on that
had been suspended. Depositors continued
to draw out their funds , but by u stout effort
President Krciger .succeeded in restoring
confidence ) and all was thought safe. In
Miuch came the SchwurU bank failures and
deposits began to diminish. Once more the
title had to be stemmed and on .Inly I the
directors were hopclnl that the crisis was
finally passed. Then came the Falls City
failure nnd depositors were again alarmed.
The bank was carrying the bHtlga project
and an improvement company In connection
with It. They had also the general closeness
of the moiidy market to contend with. The
directors took advantage of the rule requir
ing savings depositors to give
thirty days notice nnd during
thn interval they have made Ues-
porato oflorts to right the concern nnd bo
ready to pay out deposits when called for.
Today it was found that the bank
owi'd the clearing house $ tUflXl ; ( )
nnd while It had secured this
amount by gill-edged collateral It was
unable to furnish satisfactory security for
the additional funds needed to moot pay
ments nt the expiration of the thirty dav

It was not a surprise in business circles.

I Y J 1IIAN CONSOLIDATION.
31 r. Huckctt'H Views on the Ucoont
Union ( it IIIKCH. |
OMAIM , Aug.S. To thoKJIlorof TiinHii : : :
Krotn Iho extent Of the controversy which bus
been provoked by the consollilutlon of thrco
of our lending Pythian lodges ono would
naturally think that some great question of
stuto was under consideration rather limn a
matter which does not concern moro than
two hundred men , nnd which seems to have
aroused the extreme enmity of about a dozen
of the former members of the Orlolo lodge.
Just what the Incentive can bo for this oppo
sition I cannot see , but Inasmuch as the state
ments made reflect with moro or loss dis
credit upon tbo bettor element and by far the
majority of the membership of the Oriole
lodge , It seems to mo that some defense Is
necessary , In order that the membership of
the order at large , may not be misled Into
thinking that the whole Pythian firmament
In Omaha has been rent asunder uy iho com
mission of an act that , In ttio eyes of this few ,
not unly overstepped the bounds of I'vthlan
principles nnd the .spirit of the order , but so
shattered the. code of Pythian j'jrispruilcnco
as to incur the displeasure of all honest , up
right members of Iho order.
Inasmuch as Ihe grand lodge will soon con
vene , ill which lime liiis mutter will no
doubt be fullv adjusted , should tbo promoters
of this opposition be so fortunutu ns to obtain
u Hearing , It may perhaps bo unwise to pur
sue this discussion further , but for the bonc-
.tlt of our sister lodges throughout the state ,
who c.in only Judiro of this action by what
they hear or read , It scums to mo Injudicious
on the part of the members of the
order who compose the now lodge and
by far the majority of those interested In the
tbice former lo.lgos to let those ill-founded
rumors go undented.
1 am witling at all times to discuss questions
thai rightly involve tbo consideration of the
thinking inembt-r.- the order In an opoti-
haiidcd way , but the fact that the writer ot
the articles which have heretofore- appeared
in the prfss on this subject had not ihe cour-
ugo to sign his name to them , places mo In an
uncurtain position In the argument. But inas
much as I shall deal only with facts which
can bo supported by conclusive- evidence , I
inn willing to concede to them the privilege
of concealing their personality by palming off
their contributions under the" cloak of news
items in the secret society columns of our
papers.
Inasmuch as the last article thai
appeared in these columns did flol In any way
refer to any dKafloction among the former
members of Mt. Shasta and Franklin , I
take it as an admission that what little opio- |
sition there is comes from n few of the dis
satisfied members of Oriole lodge , since the
only exception to this statement has acknowl
edged tbo error of his waj and returned to
the fold.
As has been stated in n former article by
the opposition , "Oriole lodge was a lodge thai
was proud of her record , " and it is for this
reason that I feel that the .statements made
demand an answer , as there are mom tiers of
Oriole lodge who most emphatically object to
Doing classed as men who would bo willing to
countenance nnytliinc that \\ould in anyway
retlecl on Ihcir character as members of the
order or the credit of the lodge to which tbey
belong.
With reference to the memorial or protest
that is stated to have been presented to the
grand chancellor , I have nothing to say , but
I have conlidonco enough in our grand chan
cellor to believe that any paper or communi
cation presented to him in proper , legal form
will receive duo consideration.
\Vitb reference to the statement made that
the committee appointed by Oriole lodge was
expected to repoit , I will state thai such was
not the case , nor was the committee so In
structed. The committee was appointed to
assist in solecllng u name for Iho new lodge
and for no other purpose , and the action
taken In Oriole lodge was llnal on condition
that the new lodgn was instituted , nnd It was
HO understood by the members present. The
resolution had been acted upon" and passed
by both the other lodges.and it only needed the
ucquiosenco of Oriole to complete it , which
was the action taken at tne lime. Our friend
booms to stumble on ono of the most impor
tant facts in the whole trnnsac.ion , and I am
at a loss to know how to impress it upon his
mind. Triune lodge No. oil was instituted
before the consolidation was oltcctcd and
therefore thai was the lodge that retained its
name and number. Tno more fact that this
lodge was instituted nnd the consolidation
completed upon the same evening does not
marc the validity of the action. Triune
lodge had a membership of cloven before the
question of consolidation was brought before
It as it had to bo acted on to comply
with the law in regard lo retaining its name
and number , and the records will so show.
The further statement is mtuto that the
cards of those members who became mem
bers of Tnuno lodpe by withdrawing
from Oriole lodge were nol legally
Issued , bul the writer has not
not had access or has not availed himself of
hispilvllego to examine the records of tills
meeting , for if ho should ho will find that Iho
said cards were duly applied for and granted ,
nnd were not mado' out , and delivered until
this committee had performed the duty for
which it was appointed , nhd I challenge any
member of the order to prove thai thcro was
in the whole action anything that savoted In
any manner of unfairness or anv motive to
giatity any personal munition. Nothing hut
the welfare of the order actuated the move ,
and 1 am ready nt any time to furnish the
most conclusive proof that the welfare of tbo
order demanded some action that would at
least reduce the current expenses of the
lodges in Omnna ,
Ttio most grievous chr.rco made is that the
charter of Oriole lodge was deliberately
stolen by whom It is not staled , bul the in-
feionco is left to be presumed that it was thn
grand chancellor. In reply to this I can &uy
that no man who claims to bo a worthy mem
ber of the order , however mucli he may
hnve been aggrieved , should stoop to muko
such an assertion unless ho has the most con
vincing proof with which to buck bis state
ment , and it Is almost bonoith the dignity of
my position , us I regard my slundlng In the
order , to take any notice of 11 Imt for iho
salco of relieving Iho grand chancellor of Iho
burden ol any unjust criticism Unit may
come upon him by reason of this statement.
I will simply say thai the author ot it was in
no manner acquainted with the requirements
of the constitution on this point and is there
fore not nblo to determine between leiral
and illegal action in this case , The claim
that the number belonged to another lodge ,
and that the u'rand chancellor bad no right to
appropriate it to this ledge until after the
next session of the grand ledge is llkowiso
without foundation , ns I know personally
that the ledge formerly claiming has been
defunct for moro than a year , and I am
Informed have not had a meeting for more
than two yours.
lu conclusion , to show orlelly just how
manv members of Oriole ledge oppose the
move , I will state that at iho tlmo ol the
consolidation wo had 111) ) members , Of this
number twenlv-four wert > presonl at the
mooting In question , which was a larger
number than usually attended the
meetings of our ledge , Oul of
Iho whole membership slxlv-snvcn
have nbsohitcly and unnno-ttioimbly
asserted their approval of the action slnco in
writing , twelve have approved It verb llv
and by paving their dues In Triune and rec
ognizing the ledge in other ways , seven wore
not In good standing at the ilmo and have
smcu been suspended , four nro out of the cltv
and have been slnco tbo consolidation , nnd
nine have not expressed any opinion , leaving
thirteen out of I It ! who constituted the sum
total of tlio opposing party. Any of the
above file's I am prepared to substantiate
with unquestionable proof ut any tlmo under
proper conditions , ami J hope Unit no Inno-
ccnl member of the older will bo led to be-
lnivo that either Oriole or Triuiio lodgn , or
any of the lodges connected vtlth this move ,
uro or weio composed of n class of men who
have no hmhor regard for the principles of
our cherished order than has been depleted
