SOME FEATURES OF THE NEW SYSTEM ,
IVIiy the School Hoard Moulded In Try
ho Suite Itfiw Ohjoutlons iu
tin : Plan OoaltM'V In
tentions.
Tbo opening of the public schools today
and tbo change In the text books Is tbu be
ginning of un experimental period wblch
promises to bo attention by mauy vexations
anil annoyances for the school board , teach
ers , i in routs mid scholars.
Tbo school bonrd has .sought to cheapen
tbo expenses of tbo scholar * by
taking advantage of tbo stnto law
In regard to text books. Hy
this now arrangement the taxpayer * furnish
tbo necesiary money for buying tbe school
books and tbo scholars arc supplied ut actual
coat , Instead of paying dealers n prollt as
heretofore. By this achcmo It Is claimed
that there will bo a great saving to scholar * .
Already uro beard many muttering * . Thorn
bavu boon numerous changes In tbo text
books adopted , so that parent ! ) , who
have to buy now books for their
cblldrun complain of this. Such
complaint always attend any radical change
in text book * . The board justifies tbcso
charges , however , by the claim that scbool
books grow antiquated very rapidly In this
ago of lightning progress. The gcogranhy
of a few years age , is scarcely recognizable
today ; and the same is true in other branches.
The board has also secured a system of ex
change , so that old booKs may bo applied in
the payment of now ones.
Utbor complaints arise , doubtless , from
misunderstandings of tbo requirements , and
it will bo some days before tbu advantages
and disadvantages of tbo new scheme can bo
determined fully.
It 1 * claimed that tbn now stuto law is
roallv designed for country school districts ,
and that while It may worn well there , It is
not practical for the Independent , school dis
tricts of cities. In the country districts
tbcro are lew bonk * , and thuro is prac
tically no competition among local
dealer * for often the trade is in
the power of ono storekeeper to control. In
the cities where tnoro tire iiumciotis book
stores , and whcro druggists , dry goods deal
ers and others frequently inako school sup-
pile * n mere leader , regardless of rest , com
petition prevents any undue price being
asked.
The fact that the la'v forbids any compen
sation for the distribution of the book * and
supplies indicates that it was not intended to
apply to cities. The piesidcnt of the board
is the real custodian and distributor ,
and ho can get no pay for his trouble.
In Council Bluffs , for instance , it is im
practical for President U'ulls , with bis pri
vate business , to attend personally to the dis
tribution of these books and the making of
Halo * and keening of accounts. U Is , there
fore , arranged that ono book dealer , in the
central part of the city , shall attend to It for
him without pay. The book dealer i-onsonts
to this for the bonelit ho hopes to
get from tbu advertising The chll-
dicti coming to his store for books
will naturally got other supplies there.
This causes complaint. Other dealers do
not like to lose their trade , and they do not ,
seem willing to submit. Some have stocks
on hand which they must sell at cost or else
keep. Some have decided to sell at toss than
cost rather than lose their trade. They can
buy just as cheap as the school board buys ,
and it they sell for u few cents les * than cost
they claim Unit it will bo hotter than to lot
their trade go , for with the loss of their
school book trade they fear they will lese
other trade. The prediction is made that
this may result in the srbool board-
having a stocjt nn hand , and the public money
there tied up. Of course none but the ofli-
cial custodian can tnko old boons in ex
change , so a certain portion of the trade
must necessity go there in splto of other
dealers.
Complaint I. * also niado because only ono
custodian is unpointed. President Wells
justlllos till * on the ground thut bo cannot
afford to give tltno to watching over and
checking up several deputy custodians. On
tbo other hand it is urged that for the con
venience of the children there bo several
such distributing points , for several will
have to go several miles to buy their books.
Some urge that the principal of each school
building should bo n custodian ana keep such
book * as uro needed.
Some little friction is threatened because
of the necessary cash system. Under no cir
cumstances can a parent got the needed
books without cash in bund no matter how
gilt-odgod may be hi * credit.
There are numerous such varieties of com
plaint. Time nlono will demonstrate the
practicability of tbo now .scheme , and will
douutlcss teach both the ofllelals and the
patrons qf the schools many now features.
The opening week , however , promises to
make the air full of grunts ana groans.

Harry Lindsoy , son or / . T. Lindsev of

his grandparents , Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Swan in Council Bluffs , bids fair to gain a
reputation ns n nimrod. Harry Is at present
visiting relatives In Wyoming and has Just
been on a round-up and on a hunt. One of
the incidents would prove an exciting experi
ence in the llfo of any boy. It Is well told In
Harry's own words in a private letter to his
grandparents :
"Undo John and I got up before dayllcbt
to try and kill a deer , as wo wore out of fresh
moat. The sago chicken * have all boon
killed oft by tbo stapo drivers , who sell thorn
in Kawlin * . Well , what do vou think wo

weighed about dOO pounds. Wo were coming
homo completely disgusted with hunting , as
wo had been hunting for n week and hadn't '
killed a deer , when all at once I hoard some
thing snort In n ulg borrv patch , and then
heard John yell "bear , " and after him
wo went. At llr.st ho tried to
run away from us , but after wo had shot
him once or twice , bo got on thu flgtit , and
from that on ho followed John trying to
"
catch him. John was In front of him" while
I was at the side , and both of us shooting
every tlmu wo gat a chance , but I can't shoot
verj'accurate on the run , especially when I
have a scared horse. I gimss John can't
either , for ha ran about u mile and n half be
fore wo killed him. 1 shot him twite. Once
when ho look after mo I shot him In the neck ,
and once in the shoulder. John hit him
three or four times , but the bear nearly
got him once. It was within four feet o'f
him , nnd going pretty last too. Just then
John shot him nnd down ho wont , to got up
no more , for John got off his horse nnd shot
him through the head , the ball going Into

Showmen In Trouble.
Noumayr's hotel on Broadway at tbe foot
of Park uvonue was raided last nvonlug for
gamblers by ODlcors Murphy , Wapock , and
Weir. For several ilaju put it K UIO bas
been In progress In the reading room of the
hotel , aivl some of the doings of the ganc
have been plainly visible on the street ,
though the nature of the business wa * to u

Last evening Ibr above named officer *

The whole outfit wa * connected with
Burk's show , which has been exhibiting In
tbo western part of the city for several day *
past. The show llnlshed up It * business hereon
on Saturday and this inorntne will go to
Omaha. Before leaving , however , they had
to have one itnal grab nt the Bluffs vordnnt *
and that one grab proved to uc ono too iniinv.
Immediately after thearict a largo dele

Holds. The latest feat in thai line wa * the
bringing of "Tho City Directory" company
from Denver to Omana on u .special train
and making the fastest run thut bus ever
been accomplished between those two cities.
The company played in Denver Saturday
night , loft alter the performance and arrived
in Omaha at1 : ! ) yesterday afternoon. The
annihilation of space was at the phenomenal
rate of sixty miles an hour for a largo portion
tion of the distance , and even the experienced
trainmen evinced some trepidation at the
unusual speed , but Russell was firm in bis
insistence that Omaha should bo reached on
tiino and ho had his way. The only serious
result of the trip wn * In the fact that Luke
Schooleraft turned so palo that ho had to use
a double amount of burnt cone In blacking

will give a special performance at Boyd's
