COLUMBUS DAY IN SCHOOLS Arrangements for a General Celebration of America's School Population. ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATION'S BIRTH v J IlUtory of n Muvcmcnt Thut I * Calculated to Teach the School Children of America Lemon * In History nml Patriotism. Omaha has promptly fallen Into line for the proposed general observance of Colum bus day , October 12 , ana the public schools will be the central feature lu tbo celebration. Superintendent Fltzpatrlck stated yesterday that ho proposed to take stops at once to got the luovomont thoroujnly started hero and to get tbo Interest of the pupils fully enlisted. The matter will bo brought to the atten- " - * tlon of every ono of the or.,030,000 citizens of the United States , and the hearty CO-OPCM- tlon of every city , village and country school throughout the length and breadth of the land will bo Invited. The flrst move was the sending out of the following open letter : 1'lun of the Celebration. To the scholars of the public schools of the United Stales the oxecutlvocommltloo of the Columbian public school celebration sends tbo following mcstazo : October 12 , 1892 , the 400th anniversary of r the discovery of America , ought to bo ob served everywhere Iu America. The day will bo raarKod in Chicago by tha dedication of the Columbian exposition grounds. The day also may bo signalized In ov ry town and village In the republic by a local oalebratlon of which the public school Is the center. Tno public schools of the republic will form thn most fitting centers for nil those local celebrations. A national public school ob servance simultaneous with the Chicago exer cises will awaken a popular interest in the coming exposition , trar moro Important Is the fact * that the public school has tbo right to occupy the most prominent plnco In thn rvlnhrntlnn. Thn nubile school Is the OnO characteristic institution which links all tbo neighborhoods together , and can thus fur- tiUh a common bond for a national celebra tion. The public school is the rlpo fruit of thD four centuries of American civilization. Tbo public school ot toaay sways the hun dred years to come. How It Cnino About. The first approval of this suggestion came from the public school scholars themselves. When the plan was first proposed by the Youth's Companion , January , 1S91 , thous ands of letters were received , testifying to the enthusiasm with which the scholar * rc- epondcd. The world's congress auxiliary of the Columbian exposition then took up the pro posal , calling upon all the people of ( ho republic to observe the day In their own localities , and suggesting that the public schools bo every where the centers of tbe celebration. 't , ua id up on i ad [ TOmJ 1(0 h ad The superintendents of education were the next to rccoenlzo the fitness of giving to the public schools tbo flrst place in this Colum bian anniversary. At their national conven tion in Brooklyn in February. 1S1U , they took charge of tbo movement , and then appointed . tlio undersigned an executive committee- lead the schools In their commemoration. Appcul to the Scholars. 'This executive commltteo now appeals to tha scholars themselves to bo the first to move. It Is for you , scholars of the Ameri can schools , to arouse o sentiment in your schools and In your neighborhood ? for this grand way of celebrating the finding of America. Educators and teachers will meet you from tbcir side. But It is for you to begin. There are 18,000,000 pupils now In the pub lic schools. You hiu'O tbo chance to conduct a patriotic movement which will have a place in history , and will strengthen the republic through the coming century. What to Io. The first thing to do is to determine , when you read this message , that you will do all you can to Induce your school to enter the celebration. Then show this message to your teachers ; every patriot teacher will bo glad to help you if you show yourselves In earn est. Take the message to your school com- mltlco and the superintendent their consent and aid are Indispensable. . \ After you secure the support of all those. then lot the school vote that It will enter tbo celebration. Thu next thing after this public vote will bo the appointment of a strong committee madoup Jointly from citizen ! ! , scholars and teachers to take cbarge. The commltteo should In all cases consist of these most In oarnott , so that the work may not be chocked by any possible change of teachers during the buminor. The rrogrniu. A program of exercises will be furnished by the executive committee. It will bo slm- plo and adapted to any school , yet so arranged - ranged that moro elaborate exercises maybe bo added wherever desired. Tbo aim of this odlciol program will bo that certain loading exorcises may bo the same In every school In the republic , and that at least In ono feature tbo Chicago program and the school program may bo Identical. In CUQ ) time this executive commltteo will make further suggestions.f The Local Commltteo. The duly of your committee will first bo to Interest the citizens and to prepare the school.

Ho is warmly attached to Omnna and has many strong tics hero , but tbo Inducements to roraovo to Chicago nro such as few men care to resist. Mr. Buchanan's railroad career spans an average generation , and his selection us the head of tbo Western association is the bos' evidence of the estimation in which ho is held among these who are host qualified to Judge of his worth nnd ability.

REASONS FOR THE DESIRED CHANGE Onee the Court Ilitil Jloasted the rinlntllTn Attorney Wnrilimil Golden Admitted or the Charge ol Itoublni ; Sain Snjdcr , Parties who attended Judge Doane's court in Tan BEE building at an early hour yester day morning were the witnesses to a some what sensational scene. They saxv Judge Doano dress down u lawyer In tha latest and most approved stylo. Tno lawyer was John I1. Davis and tbo case that was on trial bore the title of Frank V. \Viissertnan against L. Kroner and H. B. Iror. Tbocasocauioup ou on nppsal from Justice court , and only tno sum of & 3.H5 was Involved. Thcro was something in it about horse biro and a feed bill that had never been paid. Lawyer Davis was looking after the In terests of the plaintiff and as soon as tbo Jurors had stopped Into the box ho tiled an affidavit asking for a change of venue. The atllduvil rocitea that Judge Doane bad stated from the bench and In opsn court that the affiant , John P. Davis , and tin partner , L. B. Slovens , had boon guilty of fraud and unprofessional conduct , which reflected dis credit upon the bar of JJouglai county ; that their conduct should bo Investigated with a view to their expulsion ; that the court had said that he , Davli , the afllant , was not a raspsctablo und responsible attorney. Such bolng the cue , Davis In his affidavit swore that before Judge Doano ho could not have a fair and impartial trial. Judge Doano Is a man who Is slow to an cor , but as ho stroked his board and list ened to the reading of the oaiduvlt , it was apparent that hU passion hail been silently aroused. When Davis had concluded , the court remarked that if tbo client hid no con fidence in bis attorney that ho would better employ some other party. As far us tha change of venue was concerned , tbo court said that it would not bo granted , the case would stay In his court and it would bo heard , but in this there was a slight mistake , as an unforeseen circumstance bobbed up which made n continuance necessary. Tbo first witness was put upon the sluna , when it was discovered that tto records did not disclose thai uny answer had ever been filed. This was fatal to a speedy trial and tbo case went over. Ward mill Golden Acquitted , Al Ward and Morlu Golden nro free men and twelve Jurors bnvo decided that they did not rob Sam Suydor , that they did not put him In fear of great bodily narm and that , they did not attempt to launch him into eternity via the dyuamtto route. Ouarrcllntcr u Chicken Deal. Moses Schwartz Is repeating his tale of woo in Judge Doane's court and is pouring his sorrows Into the ears of the twelve jurors who nro sworn to return a verdict that shall be In accord with the law. tha evidence and the fact. Moses is a vendor of chickens and the de- fcndent , Frank Schmidt , is a vendor in tno same line of trado. Last January Schwartz sold Schmidt 120 pounds of dressed chickens , and the price agreed upon was 7 con Is par oound , delivered. At u later date when the vendor called to gat his money , the vendee Informed him that tno chicking bad beun dead several months before they were put upon the market , Moses denied this and a row in which ho came out second best followed. Ho was pitched out of the store and the chickens wont along to Keep him company. Now bo Is firmly of the opinion that ho should have pay lor those same fowls as well as heavy damages to heal his wounded feelings. Deserted by Ills Wife. Nicholas Mauss has asked the court of Douglds county to step hi , take a hand and divorce til in from bis wife Kate , to whom bo was married on February , 18S9. at Coun cil Bluffs. Nicholas , in typo-written text and aided by u lawyer , avers that ho has conducted himself as a chaste , pure , loving , faithful , patlont and obedient husband , while Kaio has been almost anything but that kind of a wlfo. To start with , Nicholas avers that her temper is and has been bad , that on the wed ding day sbo became angry and that tbrco days later sno deserted his bed and board , never to return to carry out tbo pledges thai she made when be slipped the ring upon her finger as they stood bsforo the preacher. Tnelvo liens and u Grlndlng-Stonc. In criminal court the case of the state against William Hide is on trial. Mr. Hide is a South Omaha man sod tbohenious crime of having stolen twelve hens Is laid at his door. In addition thereto , and in company with two associates , ho is charged with hav- iug stolen a grindstone. Nut Her Own Latryor.

A or about the same tlmo she was appointee administratrix and executrix of the estate Tbo case was reached for trial yesterday and the attorney who prosecuted was somewhat surprised when he Inarned that bis client had settled with tbo defendant , accepting $750 in full of all demands. In probate court the same condition of affairs existed. The woman had settled up the estate , accepted the money and paid off claims without the knowledge of the court or her nttornoy. But now the attorney bos raised soraa objections which will stand. The court has isiued Its order , whls is that tbo settlement was procured by " fraud ; that tbo man who advised tbo settle"- ment acted without authority and that ho is in contempt of court , as ho had told the woman that sbo would hover recover a cent If she wont on with the case. Now the alleged settlement has been sot usldo , tbo 753 has been ordered applied on account , and Mrs. Oborg will bo at liberty to sue for the balanca. Ilnlni Tor liluatcd Hopes.

Ho was ono of the attorneys for William Klngon and Klnch MclCmnov , who -vcro both con victed bora and sentenced to eight years' im prisonment. Klngon escaped from the county Jail dnrlntr the Christmas holidays und was afterwards found frozen to death near Hlllsaalo on tha open prairie. MclCln- nov nevqr made any such attempt until ubbut two weeks ago. On that morning , when the deputy Bboriff wont into the Jail to open the cells pronara- tory to serving breakfast , Mclvfmioy tried to hold "up the oftlccrs with a six-shooter. When the officers escaped , McKlnney held everybody at bav for eight hours , but finally surrendered. In his pos session was found u 33-callbor Smith & \Vosson revolver and twenty-six cartridges , the remainder of n.box. Ho had fired twenty- four shots. The question then nroso as to how ho had got possession of the revolver. Only four persons besides the Jail officials bad been allowed to enter the caeo in which McKlnney and another prisoner had bo n confined. Ono of these must have furnished him the six-shooter. After an investigation Sheriff Kellov discovered that Taggart had boueht and paid for $300 worth of law books , with a chock made payable to bearer and signed by Kiuch McICinnoy. From McKin- ney's cellmate It was learned that Taepart had been given $500 in addition for furnish ing him with tbo revolver. Acting upon this , an information was filed against lag- cart by Prosecuting ; Attorney Davidson. Tnggart was at rested yesterday afternoon. HU bail was placed nt W.OOO , falling to secure - cure which ho spnnl last night In Jail in the cell adjomlnc 'McKinnoy. There uro two charges ucalnst him , thuilrst accusing him of being an accessory to murder und the second for assisting a prisoner to escape. The first is a felony involv ing n sentence of from ono to fourteen year ? . The penalty for the tast of fense is not , over a year's imprisonment and a Una of not over $500. Taggart confessed bis guilt and Mrs. Toggart acknowledges that she now has the secohd payment of $500 In her possession. Taggart said ho had Mc- KinnoyV promise that ho would not hurt any of the Jail guards. Tbo case arouses much indignation n--ainst Tugcart , although It is mitigated somewhat by the belief that bis mind is not In sound working order. Taggart pleaded not guilty to the charge.

There wore six of them , throe men and thrco women. The women bad clear cut , aquiline features , glittering black eyes under inky eyebrows. Their skin was as dark as that of an American Indian , and on the bands and arms was tattooed , Hugo earrings dangled from their eun and straight blue block hair streamed down their backs from beneath little three-cornered yellow and green shawls. Their figures were full and shapely and they stood up as straight as an arrow. One of them , apparently about 'JO years old , bad in her arras an elfish looking little baby with a faca nearly ull eyes. Two others cluttered at her feet and darted In and out among the crowd like wild thlngi. The men were tall , athletic fellows , with scowl ing , block brows and bold , wlckod looking eyes and a supreme contempt for policemen and police courts written In their swarthy faces. ' You are charged with using loud and pro fane language all of you. What do you plead to thut !

They * bnfked and fumed and snarled like a lot of Jackal * In the worst kind of English over heard in tbo police court. It took ten minutes to subdue thu tempest ana the court ottlcori wro compelled to bora them buck to their eau by rnulu force. After they hadbeen separated the gabbling v/ould occasionally break forth in a now spot and bupn''ss ) would baTe to bo suspended until It had been subdued. Hereafter Judge Berka will try Arabians ono at a tlmo. Mrs. L. H. Pttton , Uockford.
