Wlmt Air. I'nrnns Told. ' Mr. J. W. Purnns was the first witness called , and ho told of Chairman BlrkUuusor's failure to order sidewalks laid after bolnc so Instructed by the council , nnd that although Blrhbnmcr had told Councilman Tuttle in the hearing of the ' .vitncss that ho would order the contractors to go abend nt once , ho bad not kept his promise , and had not or dered the contractor to go ahead until per r > emptorily ordered to do so by tha council. Ho ulso told of Ernest Stuht's bid on High land , Kan. , stone and' the action of thoDoard of I'ubllc Worlts in nwardltiR him the con tract ut 17 cents , when as a matter of fact it was a fictitious stone that could not properly bo classed us suitable tmvinp stone , and was put in for the purpose of knocking out the witness , and that tbo rouncll. after In vestigating the matter , refused to conilrm Stuht's Dond and contract. Ho again called Blrlthauser's veracity In question , as to the latter 's statement that he had given the wit ness orders for 28,000 feet besides tbo High school grounds , when ns a matter of fact It amounted to only 23,000 feet including the High school grounds. Ho also explained that on looking up nn 8,000-foot order given him by Dlrkhauscr it was found that oil but 1,793 feet of it bad already been laid by other contractors , Ho couldn't sea bow it happened that BlrUhauser didn't know that the walic was laid , If ho was loaning after the city's business , ns ho should. Ho snld ho merely wanted to maUo theio statements In reply to lilrkhnusor's charges that ho and his son had lied when before the board on the pre vious day. Ho read from an Interview in TDK Dm : in'whlch Blrkhausor charged that the Gilllllan stone , which Furnus represented , was rejected because it was of the same quality as the Highland stone which had been previously rejected. Ho denied that this was true , and said that the stone was far from being the same. What EUuasnr KIIOWB. Councilman Elsnsser was the next witness , lie snld that no paving wan done In 1891 bo- cauio of tbo li.ck of money. The city bad voted no bonds to pay the cost of paving in tersections , nnd no money was voted for flowers , either. It was itnpo3slblo to extend publlo improvements where no Intersections were to bo put In , because of injunctions so- cuicd by property-owners. Ho said that 100,000 foot of bldcwalk was condemned , and that much of It was In good condition , und that ho v/as opposed to it , us it was , unjust and Imposed a hardship on property-owners to condemn walks that had bcou put down only a few months before aud were still In ' goo'd condition. Ho did not know why no brick sidewalks bad been ordeicd until within the past few weeks , but ho did know thnt Councilman Steel had Introduced n resolution elution providing that only slagoltthlo walk bould bo luiil on Farnam between Eigh teenth and Twonty-fourlh streets , nnd the witness had manured to secure n change , providing thnt any kind of permanent walk could do , thus admitting of comuotltion , which was not possible under Steel's resolu tion. About Squlreit1 Sioolllcntlonn. | Then paving was touched on , nnd Mr. El- tassor snld there had boon no trlfo between the council nnd the contractors. All the trouble had been between the council and lionrd of Publlo Works , und between the contractors and Board of Publlo Works. This year , for the llrst tlino in the history or tbo city government , the cltv engineer and Board of Publlo Worics prepared tholr own specifications. In other years tbo Uarbor Asphalt company had prepared the specifica tions und had bid on blanks prepared * by Itself. Wbon the now specification ! * calling for shoot luplmlttiin were prepared the coun cil favored them , ai the contrnclors had not discovered what was up and hadn't hud tlino to kick , but as noon as they found it out ( hero wns n terrible howl , aud the ordinance wont to the commit tee on paving , curbing and puttering , com posed of Sueclit , Steel and Jacobson. When the ordinance wns reported baok after n long dolav It was very much Interlined , anil pro vided that only usphaltnm from tl.o pitch Inlte on the Island of Trinidad should' bo laid. This shut out everybody but the Barber company , which was tbo only one that could got the lake nsphaltum. The council patsod It as reported , und again passed it ever tha mover's veto , Upccht bad on one occasion laid thnt ho put lu tlio Interlineations , and on another occasion nuld bin bookkeeper did It. Squires had not denied it when accused of doing it himself. nit riiiulrio' Itttlutloiu. The witnoKs sold Squire * was opposed to him and had anld ho would spend $5,000 to defeat him because ho had reported against tjijulro ! , ' disputed olalm. bqulroj had worked hard to secure the nomination und election of the witness , and within a foiv days after entering upon the duchurgo of his duties at councilman the witness wns surprised to find himself placed on a connnlttoo to consider HiUlroi' | disputed cliilm lor street sweeping. After malting In quiry ho found that lu justice to the city the bill should bo cut , aud in order to agree as to bow much of u reduction should bo made the Ihroo members of the commuted wrote on llui of paper and placed them In a hut. The witncsH wanted the bill out.10 per cent , Donnelly wauled to cut it SS per cent nnd Morourly 15 per cent. Bo they added them all together uud divided the um by it. and that gave thorn a out of i.7 per cent. When they a polio to Squires about It ho iiworo that hu wouldn't stund u cut of a t , uud wltuumi thereupon reported In favor of compelling Squire * to go Into court If ho wnntPd to collect his bill , and lot him got what ho could. Thu next time Squires saw the witness ho told him how ho had worked to elect htm and had voted nil his men for him both at the primary and nt the election , and ho had thought that witness wns his friend , but ho had found out differently , nnd If ho ever bobbed his head up again hu would spend & > ,000 to doto.tt him. Only the other day Squlrci mot the wit- nos nnd said : "Vvoli , 1'vo boon out among your constituents. You've been such a good friend of mine I thought I ought to help you n llttlo , and we've made up our minds to kood you b.ick to the harbor shop. " Contractor * and Committee * . Then they got buck to the report of the committee on the specifications ordinance , "Did that committee report In favor of the rhangos that were calculated to benefit the Barber monopily nlonol" asked Mr. Taylor. "Did they I" ejaculated Mr. Elsasscr , "well. I should say they did I" When asked whether the contractors In terfered with committee work and with councilman , ho said that tbo contractors had a habit dt being very nuinoroqs when nny notion In which they were interested was being considered. Ho couldn't say , how ever , that tno contractors paid councilman for their votes , but ho knew that there was hardly an ordinance thnt oamo up tbnt didn't Interest -somebody , and that If n councilman wai looking for "stuff" ho could rake In from S5 to $30 several hundred times a year. Whnn asked about the delay of committees in reporting on tnnttors referred to them , ho said It had become very common , for some reason or other , and that there was no neces sity for It. Whllo chairman of nn important committee lant year ho never held papers longer than n week , and frequently reported In three days if there happened to bo a special meeting. Di-grrcs of Aflnlmttum , As to the lake asphaltum matter , ho couldn't understand bow It happened that after putting down overflow asphalt in this city for years the Barber company had not discovered that It wa * of Inferior quality until other companies tried to come In and compote with them In the use of the same article , when It suddenly made the discovery thnt the only good asphaltum was its own luko. where nobody else could touch it. Ho thought it strange thnt the Barber company was so anxious to furnish a superior artlclo all at once. Ho snld that Jalcks had ) < td against the Barber comtmny , and notwithstanding thn fact that ho was n tower bidder hu had suc ceeded only In getting a block and a half on St. Mary's avenue , and It looked very much ns If that was slmplv u part of a move to kill off Mr. Jnleks. The Board of Public Works had exacted a bond requiring a bidder to enter Into a contract und now had about $ 1,000 of Jalcks' money tied up In this way , and there was n rule that in case a success ful bidder did not go ahead ho should never ba allowed to bid again , lalcks had boon nivnrdod a small contract just to put him in this boat , lie must now put In n ? ! " ) ,000 plnut in order to pave that block nnd n half or forfeit nil tbo money ho had up und bo forever debarred from bidding on nny tr.orn street paving In Onmlir , . The witness thought that the DliouJtoring tactics of the contractors was duo to their disapproval of the specifications and of the guaranty clause , und that they had influenced the councilmon. Trio investigation was continued until Thursday afternoon at ! 3 o'clocic. 9 No other sarsaparllla possesses the combi nation , proportion nnd process which make Hood's Sarsuparllla peculiar to itself.

Miss LIzzio Borden is under arrest , charged with murdering her father and stepmother last Thursday morning. She was brought into the second district court room presumably to give further nvidonco at the inquest. Miss Borden was accompanied by her sister and Mrs. Brlgham.

Shortlv after G o'clock , City Marshal Hlllard and District Attorney Knowlton drove to the homo of Andrew Jennings , who had boon the family attorney for some years. They re turned about 7 o'clock and wont into the matron's room , whore Miss Borden was lying on a sofa , The reading of the warrant was waived. The lady took the announcement with surprising calmness. The two women who were with her were much moro visibly affected. The excitement was very great when tbo news of the arrest booamo Known , although some bourn previous it was generally under stood tbnt Miss Borden was soon to bo made a prisoner. MUs Borden was searched by Miss HusBoll shortly after she was formally placed In custody. All the afternoon a machinist bad boon at work on tbo safe at the Borden homestead , but be bad not beau able to open It. Utbor witnesses examined at the Inquest wore Kli Bcneo , who is supposed to have refused to sell poison to the prisoner ; his assistant , Fred Hart , and Frank Kllroy , who was In tbo store when it was alleged Miss Borden made the request.

EXTOLLING PUBLIC SCHOOLS Oinncal'or ' Oanfiold of tha 6t.ito University Addresses Dallas Ocuuty's ' Teachor.3. ABSOIUTE NEED OF HIGHER EDUCATION llciirilts of Public Schools and Possible Kx- tontlon of tlio Country Districts tVnrlc Uooil ArtUuo to Hard Working Toucher * . Chancellor Canflcld of the State university addressed the tcachcra nt the Douglas county Institute yesterday afternoon. It was au address that will ba ramomborod ninny years by most of the teachers present. Ills subject was the dlniouUios nnd worry- monts that basot the life of tha school teacher. Heforo ontorlng upon the real subject selected the ohancollor took occasion to explain to the teachers that ho ntul the professors - fossors In the unlvorUy woroslmnly teachers In an adjoining room , a different dopartran nt of the same great system of state education with tbo oUtrlot teachers before him. "You may not believe , " said the ohancol lor , "that 1 am only a teacher in a different department of the same system , nnd you may doubt that I bollovo It , out I shall try to convince you that It Is true , nevertheless. " Hounds In Mill's l.iutitrr. Ho then explained the relations that exist between the district school , the graded school nnd the State university. They \vero nil part nud parcel of the snmo system. Mr. Huxley had sala once that a system of edu- catiou was a ladder that stood with one end In the gutter and the other In the university. " \Vo hove no such thing as the gutter in Nebraska , " said the chancellor , "and I hope to God wo never will havo. I will sny , then , that the system of state education In this state is or should DO n ladder which reaches from tbo door of the primary school to the door of any colloso in good standing. Every stop and every round In this ladder ought to bo within the reach of every boy and girl In the commonwealth. There wasa tlino when the world moved slow. The ox was the motive power. Then n man had u fair chance of lighting the battles of Ufa with no education but tbnt which ho re ceived at the common district school. But tlmos have changed. The world moves faster now and n man must bavo keener wit and a broader education in order to rlso nbovo the ranks where muscle is the reliance. A lunn who has only a common school edu cation is pretty sure to bo nothing but a common man , as the world goes at present. Uotxl Kiioiigh for Anybody. "I do nofllko that nnmo common as np- pllod to schools , because It formerly meant vhoso schools that wore attended by only the poor and dependent. It used to bo consid ered a disgr.xco for well-to-do poop'.o to send their children to the common schools back In the Now England states. But our district schools are good enough today ( and if they a're not , they ought to be ) for any man's child. Just think of IV TO per cent of the children of Nebraska got nil the education they over got In school while tnoy are in the district schools. It oucbt not to bo so , but It is. This is a long , hard life that wo have to live. It's a hard tight from start to finish with most of us. Just think of a farmer taking his boy by the baud nnd saying , 'My son , there'is along , dlftlcult and dan gerous road that you must travel , nnd you will have to go most of the way without my help. Just come into the house nnd I will give you a soupbono and a cruet of broad before you start. ' It's un Absolute Nccemilty. "In these days of fierce commercial strlfo the ignorant man is hardly as independent or us muuh in demand as tho. horse. The com mon laborer ncods a keen Intellect and well developed bralu that no may bring thought , to boar upon his work. General educa tion has been the greatest emanci pator the human race has over known. We have proven this by the establishment of tba public schools , the graded schools , the high schools nnd colleges. Wo bavo proved It Dy our universities and our Cuautauqua circles. I nm clad to say that our supreme court has upon several occasions decided that the high schools of nur country were a legitimate part of the public school * . "But what is the country lad and lass to do when they finish the course at the district schools ? If they coma to the city they must pay tuition , and oven then they can only enter tbo graded schools of tbo city by the kindness and permission of your board of education. A state system should bo a free system. I hope that some day wo will have the good old fashioned county academy where country boys and girls can continue thulr studios without paying tuition foitbo privilege. " I'ublio Apathy Deplored. The chancellor then wont on to explain how indifferent the people of Nebraska wore with regard to the State university. Ho re lated several ludicrous incidents going to show that ovun momoors of the legislature wore Ignorant of the workings of the univer sity. One member of the legislature had complained to him that the regents never reported the prollts on the board of the students. "Tnat's so , " said the chancellor , "and slnco you sneak of it , 1 am reminded that the speaker of thn last bouse did not raport the prolits on the board of the moinbors. " "Hut what has the speaker Ot the house to do with the Board of Members ) " asked the legislator who was working up a case on the regents. "Just as much ns the regents of the uni versity bavo to do with the board of the students , " replied the chancellor. 'That momoor of the legislature , " ho con tinued , "thought that several of our uni versity buildings wore used for sleeping apartments and dining rooms. Ho did not know that the university bus novel' boarded a solitary student , and yet ho has become convinced that the regents wore outrage ously dishonest because tboy had not re ported the prollts on board bills. " The chancellor thought the people of Ne braska should take a deeper Interest in the university slnuo they spent $100,000 u year In maintaining the university. Good Ailvlt-o to tliu Tcmcliom. Turning then to tlio subject of the nddrosi , the chancellor gave the teachers some excel lent advice..Ho counselled them not to worry or fret about apparent failures , but to boar heroically all their tasks. "Ninety percenter all thotroublus you have you never have , " said the chancellor. "You imagine you huvo a great , deal of trouble in your work that you really never moot. You must nave some trouble. It would bo a poor picture that had nothing In It but white. The person who has no tear in his eye will huvo iio rainbow in his heart. " He said thoru were fewer abboluto failures In the teachon,1 profession than in almost any other calling lu life. Ho touched upon the thousand and one things that meet and perplex the toaahorund had some excellent ndvico upon every point. Ho H.ilcl salaries wore low , but if thoio who were engaged In teaching were dlssatUllod they could do something else. Every toucher should en deavor to do the very best ho or she could uudcr all circumstances , resting assured thai there wore some school boards that could not bo sutlstled and there wore some things that could not badono. Like the Sunday school boy who asked his mother If the Lord cuuld mane the U-yoar-old colt In u mlnuto. Ho was assured that the Lord could accomp lish this rather marvelous feat if Ho wished to. "Would tbo colt bo 3 years old If ho was Highest of all In Leavening Power. Latest U.
