Onto ! ' tlio CnrliliiK Muddle IH

or Com t ?
There was ono act on the Labor day pro
gramme that was not performed on the
street.
Early In July the chairman of the Board of
Public Works asked for bin * for curbing in
ten curbing illsulcts. In response to the
advertisements bids wore submitted on Boroa
en ml stor.c , Highland , Kan , ( jillliillan and
Colorado sand stono.
On July UJ the bids woio opened by the
Board of Public Works and at that tlrao it
was found that P. II. Mahoney and J. W.
Pumas fi Sons , who bid on the Boron stone ,
were the lowest bidders.
Instead of awarding the contract.tho mem
bers of the boaid perlormcd the juggling net.
They refused to award the contract nnd nt
the same time refused to send the bids up to
the city i-oun/'il or return the certified checks
submitted by the lowest bidder. The cus-
tomarv bond was furnished by the contract
ors , but stilt the Board of Public Works 10-
f used to art ,
Mahoney & t'urnas tired of waiting and on
September 4 secured at nltcinntlvo writ of
mandamus from Judge Davis , commanding
General Blrklmusor , AInjor Furay and Col
onel Egbert to appear In couit and explain.
At the hour named'J o'clock p. in. , all hands
wore on deck and the music began.
BlTho plalntilTs put In thciritcstlmony show-
iifg that the Board of Public
Work had refused to award the con
tract , return the cot tilled check
for t.'iOO , or report the bids to the council.
They also showed that the Boron stone had
stood the test required.
During nil of this time Chairman Birk-
hausor was as uneasy as n fish out of wiitor ,
and lldgotcd about like a sand flea on a hot
day. After awhllo ho got a chnnco to uo
upon the stand and unfold his talc. Heat-
tempted to prove the acts of the board , or at
least these that were not in the record.
\Vhon this point was reached. Attorney
Mnboiipy called the venerable chairman down
by insisting Hint the records wore the best
evidence of the doings of the boird.
The book was brought into couit ami by it
Iho facts wcio shown that on August 'JO the
board lot another : ontract for curbing the
same sti cots , notwithstanding the fact that
Judge Wukeloy had previously issued a re
straining order , prohibiting the board from
doing anything of the kind.
This took the wind out of the Birkhauser
sail" , and his face turned as rod ns a Dolled
lobster when Attorney Mnhoney charged
that ho had acted in ditect violation of the
order of the court , nuO should be committed
for contempt ,
Jndgu Davis said that it was stiango that
the board ceuld 1:0 on and do Just the thing
thai it had nc'cn restrained from doing so by
an order of the dourt.
The chairman tiled to explain his action ,
but was called down and told that explana
tions could not change the record.
Judge Diivls took up the case and informed
the channan that the tccoid was the evi
dences upon which ho would have tn stand ,
as the court could not take Judicial notice of
talks held in unck alleys and on the streets.
Hn said that it was time that the board
loarnctl that a iccord of its doings must bo
Itcpr , mid that iccord must show how ,
when and where business was tiansactcd.
Yesterday the case was argued by the
respective attorneys and submitted to the
couit.

The full term of the public schools opened
yesterday with u largo Incrcnso In the number
of pupils In attendance. Many of the buildings
were crowded to ovorllmvltig , nud some pro
vision will have to bo made to icliovo tlio
pipssure.
Tnis condition of affairs Is more apparent
nt the High school building than at any of
the others. There nro about tbreo hundred
and seventy pupils In the clasi entering the
High school this year and .theio Is barely
room to scat them. The facilities for holding
recitations are entirely Inadequate ana 1'rof.
Low Is sajs ho must have thioo more rooms
for that purpose. Itvill bo necessary to
hold eighteen or twenty leeitations daily
when the school gets in running 01 tier nnd
there aio only cloven rooms in which to hold
locitatioiis. Jt has been decided to keep the
ninth gr.ulo on ono study for the present
nnd have them uttoad school only at the time
they me called on for tccltatlons.
The Central school is in its usual crowded
condition with the llttlo tots packed
in like saidtnes. The first , A , D and U
grades are in ono room. In this room theio
aio scats for about eighty pupils , and
ninety-live pupils are in attendance As tlio
attendance the liist dav Is alwa > s small , tliero
will probat ly Loabou tone bundled and twenty
pupils in tnis room before many nays. Tuoro
are live medium sl/ed looms occupied bv , the
Central school , anil ono small room scarcely
largo enough to turn around In. In thcso
rooms aio crowded enough children to 1111
seven good si/cd rooms.
The High school committee was at the
building this morning endoivoring to solve
the ptouloin , and a piopositionvlllbomade
at the boaid meeting this evening to tend
the ninth grade pupils to the Goldsmith
building on Twentieth sticot. Ono member
of the LOininlttbO stiongly favoii'd the idea of
electing a four-room , one-story fintnu build
ing on the High school grounds .mil using it
for the High school pupils. It is probable an
clToitvill be made to do this in the near
future.
At the Walnut Hill school the lower grades
ate overflowing anil a luigo increase in the
number of pupils in thcso grades is expected
in a few ( lavs. Mr. Coryell visited the build-
Inif and will recommend that two looms be
lentod in an adjoining building until the now
building is elected on the Hitchcock bite.
livery room at the Lake school was com
fortably full and the indications weio that
the lower grades would bo overcrowded in n
few dnjs. Miss Whitnoro stated that in all
probability the boundary of this school vould
bo changed in order to avoid increasing the
number of rooms in the school.
At the other buildings the rooms wcro well
tilled , but there scorned no immediate danger
of overcrowding.
The thirty-six principals employed In tuo
Omaha schools mot the stipoiintendent of
schools at the rooms of the Boaid of Educa
tion at 5 p m. last Saturday.
The superintendent after a few piolimln-
nry remarks , instructed principals to open
their schools in the same nmnner as they
have in past ye irs , and intimated thut if any
changes weio made in the future that they
would come only after consultation with the
principals.
Principals were requested to send in to the
superintendent , prior to October , their sug
gestions looking towaids any changes that
seem nccossarv in the course of study.
The supci intt'iulont also announced that
pupils who wcro taking private lessons for
advancement to other grades , or to the high
school , would bo admitted to the high classes
in conformity with past custom ; but that in
the future it would bo necessary for such
pupils to pass an examination given by the
teacher whose room the pupil expected to
enter.
It was also decided that any variation from
the practices prescribed by the rules of the
board , whether bv authority or not , woio to
cease , and until fuitbcr notice the rules and
regulations were to bo scrupulously en
forced.
The superintendent called attention
to the defective classilicition ap
parently existing in the scl eels ,
and stated tbat , excluding suburban schools
In tno month of May last , tnoio were 120
classes in the schools luuintr less than lifteon
pupils In each class , a condition of affairs
which tlio superintendent thought was not
conducive to economy or efficiency. He dis
cussed the principles undoilving classifica
tion , called the attention of principals to the
fourth ana fifth grades as being the places
fioin which mostof the disintegration sprung
and outlined a plan for remedying the diffi
culty dm ing the vear.
In discussing the questions of policy the
superintendent expressed the conviction that
the members of the lioaid of Education did
not favor a lodurtion of salaries and that no
one connected with the schools had any son-
otis thought of unduly ineieasinV the
buideasof the teachers. Ho said that the
sentiment of the board was favorable to the
kindorgiuton , am1 that at an oaily date some
pi ogress would bo reported in that
dhection.
The superintendent regiotted that so many
of the ablest teachers weio crowding up
towards the eighth grade , and expressed his
personal conviction that the salary of the
toacbois In the lirst grade should bo the sumo
as touchau of the eighth giado.

Hon.V. . A. L. Gibbon , chairman of the
executive committee of the transmlsslsslppl
congiess , has issued n circular letter to the
delegates in the various western states sug
gesting the week commencing Monday ,
October 18 , us the time for holding the next
session of the congress , which will meet in
Omaha.
This action was taken in accordance with
a rule of the congsosshlch provides that
the executive commltteoof the state in which
the mooting is to be hold shall name the date
of the meeting subject to the approval of the
other states. Mr. Gibbon sees no reason whv
the date fixed shall not bo accepted and will
commence woik at once arranging for the ie-
copilon and ontoitalniuont of the delegates
nnd visitors.
Speaking on the subject of the congress
yesterday Mr. Gibbon said :
"The congress is an important body , more
so , 1 thiuK , than is generally understood.
There will bo about a thousand delegates anil
vUltois present , representing the active pub
lic spirited men of every state west of the
Mississippi , and they will bo In sosiion , four
11 vo or six days in n discussion of such ques
tions as arid lauds , deep huruor , transporta
tion problems , nnd issues that especially concern -
corn thu transmissUslppi states and tcnl-
toiies.
The proper entertainment of the delegates
and visitors will tuko time and money , The
local committee is required only to furnish a
meeting pl.ico , and for this purpose I have
secured the Grand opera house.Vhllo this
Is the only requirement , wo cannot ultonl to
allow a to go at that. Denver entertained
tlio congress royally nt ita last meeting , nnd
wo must do ns well hero. "
Mr. Gibbon hopes to secure the co-operation
of the HourU nt Trade nnd the Koal l tate
Owners' association In the workof arranging
for the proper ontcitalniucnt of the congress.

PRICES MOVE THE WORLD.
The world is principally devoted to trade , and as prices rule trade
they may be said to move the earth. This , at least , is the theory on
which we conduct our business. It makes a difference in buying cloth
ing whether you consider price only or quality of material and work
manship. Some clothing is dear at any price. We sell only the best.
GVERGOATS , LIGHT WEIGHT.
The prices advertised last week on Fall Overcoats brought many
purchasers. We will continue the sale of MELTON OVERCOATS - .
COATS in different shades , at

$ 10 to $20. Don't purchase without taking a look through our stock ,
BOYS' DEPARTMENT.
We have always carried the largest stock , quoted the lowest prices

Ilidders on Sidewalk : Stone Threiten
the Hoard of Public Worlci.
The members of tno Bowl of Public
Woiks and City council are liable to bo
brought into court to answer to another
mandamus.
Some weeks ago the bo ird invited bids for
furnishing flag stone for sidewalks in tlio
business poition of the city. The Bandora
Stnno company Old 'JJ'j ' cents per square
foot ; the Ullllillan Stone company L'J cents ,
and Ernest Stuht It ) 9-10 cents.
Instead of cnteting into a contract with
Stuht , the bo ird sent all of the Dlds up to the
council , wheio they wcio rejected. It was
claimed that the stone fmulshed by the three
fit nib was tno same , came from the same
quarry and that the whole schcmo was u
trust.
Yesterday afteinoon the Board of Public
Works held a short session and followed out
the course adopted by the council. All of
the bids were rejected.
Mr. Stuht , who represented the Highland
stone , was present and served duo notlco
that he would mandamus the city olllctuls
and comnol them to outer into a contract
with him. Ho stated that when the bond
advertised for bids that it meant something ,
and that ho did not propose to bo used as a
scapegoat to force down iho price of the
Coloiado stone , on which thj bo ud sought to
scctiio bids but failed.
