Important Fftirmonnt Park Litigation Before
the Oily Council.
CONCERNING QUIT CLAIM DEEDS
Itcprmrntntlvpofthe City Connlilcml

Thp Falnnount park litigation , which hns
caused so mu < Interest for so long , and cs-
pecially during the last few days , was
brought up at the meeting of the city coun
cil last evening by the presentation of the
bill of Attorneys Flnloy , Hurko nnd H. T.
Trimble , who have represented the city.
The amount of these .hills was 15,000 each.
Accompanying the hills were st cments by
each one , briefly recounting .e services
rendered for which the amounts were
charged. Mr. Uurko defended the city's
rights In two suits in tlio United States
circuit court , three In the district court In
Pottawattnmio county , the same on an ap
peal to the supreme court of Iowa , and one In
the superior court of Council Hluffs , alt of
which were decided In the city's favor. Ho
also appeared before the state senate In
DCS Molnes. and made trips to Denver , Kan
sas City , Lexington. Mo. , and other points
and secured valuable evidence.
Thi ! $10.000 represented something besides
the legal sorxircs of the two gentlemen ,
however. As slated In Tin : Hr.B n few days
ago , the firm of Wright , & Daldwin had
managed to throw a eloud on thu city's title
to this lots of sn serious a nature that the
city's attorneys , who had iniido a closer in-
vcstlgnlliiti into the i-lreuinstanccs than any
one els" , came to the conclusion that the
cheapest way out of the difficulty would he
to buy a quit claim deed to all the lots
about-which there ; is any dispute , provided
Iho proper terms could bo agreed upon.
There were 107 lots whose titles were
clouded , thirty-two of which were in Snow
it Green's addition and seventy-llvu
In Williams' * Sei end addition. Twelve
hundred dollars was Iho amount
which this < [ tiit claim would cost the i-ity.
and at the rcqueht of the members of the
park committee of the council the attorneys
agreed to cut down their hills by paying for
the quit claims theinselve.s. and thus keep
the expense of the settlement down to
$10.000.
The hills of both the attorneys were satisfactory -
factory to the coum II. Mr. Hurkc stated
that the quit claim deeds on all the portions
of the park land not included in the litiga
tion were in his possession , signed and ready
to ho recorded , anil that this would put an
end to all litigation and give the city a clear
title to the park , a thing which could not
have been secured excepting after years of
lighting in tlio courts. The bills were ac
cordingly nlloMcd , and a warrant was
ordered drawn on the police fund for the
amount. This makes the entire cost of the
100 acres comprised within the park bound-
arics ? lf.XK ( ) .
A communication was read from the nark
commissioners asking the council to submit
to the people the question of making at
mill tax levy for the next two years to do-
fr.iy the expenses of the park litigation ,
The city attorney was Instructed to draw up
an ordinance to that effect.
I lev. 13. .1. Habcock nnd W. .T. Jameson

library , and ao > o was taken which resulted
in the unanimous election of Mr. Itabeock.
The ordinance making the change of grade
in Frank street was laid over again , in order
that more signatures of property owners
might bo secured.
Marshal Tcmpleton called attention to the
fact that the pawnbrokers of the city should
bo required to send in a report daily to the
chief of police of all articles purchased. The
city attorney was Instructed to prepare an
amendment to the ordinance regulating pawn
shops embodying tlio marshal's suggestion

planation of the fact that the official organ

effect that there wasa surplus of $8-1,000 in

plus in tlio treasury was largo enough to
pay oil' the bonds , it was distributed around
among various funds and could not bo used
for the purpose. There was no second to

The school board met in regular monthly
session hist evening , and before they ad
journed put up ono of the neatest specimens
of prize ring work that oven that honorable
body has ever turned out. Member Wells
was there , and what happened goes without
saying. The reading of the minutes was the
signal for the fray to commence. The reso
lutions which wore offered by Mr. Wells at
the previous meeting had not been entered
upon the minutes , and when that fact be
came known to Mr. Well ! ) ( in called atten
tion to it in a way that showed that ho was
not at all disfigured by his former unsuccess
ful contests with a hopeful majority. Stacy
replied in a speech in which bo likened tlio
iMiird to a lot of bar room politicians. Ho
thought the board as it had been behaving
of late was a disgrace to itself and to tlio
city.Wells
Wells nno to n ixilnt of order , but Presi
dent Waite refused to hear his point. Wells
informed him that he would state it then ,
whether the president would hear It or not.
Fields asked to have the portion of the min
utes to which Wells objected reread , but
Waite refused to order it reread unless the
board should nay so. "Von take alto
gether tiw much tiiHin yourself , Mr. Presi
dent , " said Wells ; \ouiiro nut put on that
platform to make orders , but to execute the
wishes of the board.1' After a quarter ol iOn
hour spent \\hlpsawlng back and forth the
minutes we.ro approved-ill splto of Wells' pro
test , all the otAor members voting against
him. Wells wanted his protest entered up-m
the record , but Waite was not disposed to
allow him oven that privilege , but when
Stacy spoke a word in Wells' behalf and
said that any member , oven Wells , had the
right to a thing of that kind , he subsided
gi.ieefull.Having that ho was not very well
posted on parliamentary usages anyway , and
had to ask sometimes for Information.
There are some things , " said Wells ,
"which any presiding olllccr should bo su | > -
posed to know. "
And there iiro some people , " retorted the
president in a whlto heat , "who don't know
us much us they think they do. "
This little exchange of pleasantries paved
the wny for the trupsactlon of a few Items
of business. Chairman Ilrldcnstcin of the
heating committee reported that he had had
the registers at the Hill school changed as
instructed by the board , but still the build
ing was cold. Ho has found upon investiga
tion that the boiler was not so largo us ho
had supposed , llv had ordered 'the plpt s In
the luscmcnt covered with asbestos , an I
hoped that this would remedy the defect In
nm measure. It would probably bo found
necessary ou extra cold day * totllimlsxRomo
ol the rooms , Prof Mnstnmn had already
been compelled to dismiss his room on Mon
day afternoon on account of the cold
Chairman .Stacy of the teachers commit
tee reported that Miss I avlck had resigned
and that her place had been filled by the
appointment of Miss Illnllo Marsh , whose
pluco In turn was taken by Miss Pearl
Chamberlain.
Member Shtibcrt presented a resolution ,
the puriwso of which was evidently 16 strike
terror to the heart of Mr. Wells , whom ho
considered to have acted In the capacity of
the bad Iwy at prayer meeting. The resolu
tion ro-ltedtho fact that the school board
hnd neglected to llx the preliminary require
ments for the usual tax levy this year , and
demanded of Chairman Wells of the finance
committee why he had not called the atten
tion of the board to the requirements of the
law. In order that thn tax might bo levied.
Wells replied that he had done nil the law
compelled him to , and as for the tlnanco
commltte , It had no responsibility any far
ther than any Individual member of the
board. Wells called the attention of the
lioard to the fact that during his presidency
he had given notice to the board of Its
duties , and It would have been a proper
thing for the present head official to do the
same thing.
Fields tried to be a peace maker and to in
duce the other members to stop their ever
lasting quarclling. Ho thought they had
been elected to do do business , and not to
try to put each other In the hole , and he
further thought that they owed H to the
voters and taxpayers to put In the bulk of
their time trying to improve the schools.
Wells replied that at the eommeneemnntof
the year the republicans on the board had
told him that lie was decidedly not in it , that
ho was not to have any part in the
proceedings , and that President Waite
had even gone so far us to
prophusj that by the rinse of Wells' term of
ofllee ho would llnd nothing left for him to
do hut to shovel coal , lie sui/gested that
the resolution which Shubcrl had presented
bo referred to some schoolboy for correction
ns to Its grammatical structure and for
proper punctuation and spelling. It was
finally passed , however , without correction.
A resolution to offer .F. .1. Stewart $100 as
full compensation for his services as attorney
for the board was pas ed.
The special committee to which was re
ferred the matter of the missing report of
ex-President Wells wi'.li
, reference to thn
school I molt H , reported that it had hunted
for it high and low , but had not suc
ceeded in running it down. The com
mittee wanted to give up the
search , but was instructed to go on
for another month. Wells then introduced a
resolution requiring the president to give the
board a statement of his transactions In
books since the beginning of his ollleial
term. H was notseconded , of course , but
they made a motion involving the same
points ] and it was carried. The board was
still engaged in cussing anil discussing at a
lute 1 hour luat night.

The case of the city npainst the Oinalia
and . Council UluITs Hallway company , for
$8,000 for Intersection paving , which was to
have had a hearing in the superior court
yesterday morning , has been postponed for n
time t , as it was feared would bo tlio case. A
few I days ape City Attorney Hazeltoit illed
an amendment to his original petition , in
which lie made the corporation of Nebraska
n party to the suit , in place of the Iowa cor
poration only. The attorneys for the motor
line were in court and entered their appear
ance i in the ease. It was then agreed be
tween t the attorneys that the case should be
tried t as soon as possible , and that a stipula
tion t should bo drawn up by which certain
points \ of law and fact should bo admitted on
either side. The attorney is to draw up the
stipulation as ho thinks it should
bo 1 , and it will then bo modified by the attor
neys for the other side. How loiiff It will
take t to whipsaw the thini , ' into a form satis
factory 1 to both parties it is impossible to say.
There Is no way of compelling the company
to t come to trial before the next term of court ,
however 1 , and as they have never showed any
disposition to hurry any faster than the law
would allow , It Is pretty safe to assume that
the I suit has pone into winter ! quarters.
City ICnirinccr Coolc has been ransacking
the t records during the past few days , and
has 1 found over S'J.OOO worth of intersections
not Included In the present suit , and bo still

When the entire amount is ascertained an
other petition will bo Hied.

Loth , the murderer of Mrs. Domacsck , was
electrocuted at Clinton prison at noon.
The murderer took pirt : in the religious exercises -
orcises shortly before being summoned to
the death chamber , and when the time came
mot death calmly. The application of the
current was entirely successful at llrst contact -
tact , but it was turned on again , ns usual , to

In tlio court of oyer and tcrmincr , at
Schencctady Kernel 15. I.otu was convicted
of the murder of Emma Demacsek.
Ho was sentenced December 2 to bo
executed tit Clinton prison , D.umomora , dur
ing the week beginning January 10 , 1S93.
The history of the crime for wh'ch ho was
condemned is as follows :
At midday on Tuesday , June 24 , Mrs. Alex
ander Demacselc , a comely young woman ,
was murdered in her house , 100 Kotterdam
street , Schenectady. Her skull was crushed
in and her body received many
stabs. Gussie Frisch , a little girl
who chanced to go to the house ,
found the dead woman , and at the same time
saw a man run out of the door and up the
street. The murdered woman's husband
was at work nt the Edison shops when the
deed was done , but ho Insinuated that John
Feltheimer , a former boarder , had committed
It. Feltheimer was taken before the pollco
Justice , but ho proved an alibi , showing that
no was working at the locomotive shops.
Then Feltheimer set to work as a
detective to catch the real murderer ,
and ho succeeded in placing the crime on
Loth's shoulders. Loth confessed , but en
deavored to implicate the woman's husband ,
saying ho had hired him ( Ixjth ) to kill her ,
but the grand Jury did not nellovo the story ,
and ho afterwards confessed it was false.
The object of the murder is unknown.

Owing to the nbscticr of President Powell ,
Vice President AlkiM'pl'eslded at the session
of the board. The report of the sui > erinteii-
dcntwas llrst considered. It showed that
during the month of December there were
thirty-two school rooms with less than
thirty-five pupils In attendance and one room
with an average of fifty-live.
In his report to the Board of Education
last ovcnltiff , Superintendent Fltzpitrlek
said , among other things to which he desired
to call their special attention , was the ne
cessity of at once tip | > olnttiig a special com-
mittec to make arrangements for the ex-
hlblt to be sent to the World's fair. The
space originally allotted to the Nebraska ex-
nibit has been cut down from 0,000 to l.'JOO
feet. The following committee was ap
pointed : Dr. Duryca , Colonel Akin , Dr.
Ollibs and Superintendent FiUpatrlek.
The city treasuerer's monthly statement
statement showed the following funds In the
treasury to the credit of the school district :
Oenoral fund 113,7123.10
Silts and building fund
Sinking fund
The resignations of liortcns E. Smith and
Miss Florence L. Baker were presented and
accepted.
A communication from Chancellor Cantleld
of the state university was read pertained
to the necessity of care in selecting teach
ers and In thi > system and plan of study In
the high school. The letter was replete
with valuable suggestions.
The principal of the training school called
attention to the fact tint the time was rap
idly approaching for the graduating exer
cises of the Teachers Training school and
th'it ST5 would be needed to pay for the
opera house and other necessary expenses
connected with the exercises. "
Stonii Cuttcrx loiter ti 1'rntrnl.
The Journeymen Stone Cutters' associa
tion notified the board by special communl
cation that the contractors to whom the
contract for building the Franklin school
was let has sublet the work of
cutting the stone to a non-union firm. The
committee desired the board to take steps
to have this matter changed , both as a mat
ter of furnishing relief to the union laborers
of the city and for the protection of the
board.
Some discussion arose over n motion to
allow Hichard Smith ? 1)00 as an estimate
on the Ixithrop school. This appeared to
some members of the board to bo a vie
lation of the contract , because ho had
been paid all but 15 per cent of his con
tract price , and the amount remaining
was to have been held back until the
building was completed. Mr. Smith claims
to have been held back by bad weather and
had not been able to complete the work be
fore winter closed in , although ho had
nearly lintshed the building. He was
willing to leave f 1.000 back as a guarantee
that the work would .bo properly iinished in
the spring. The estimate asked for was

Dr. Duryca offered a resolution to provide
for payment the traveling expenses of a
professor of Ann Arbor university from Ann
Arbor to Omaha and return for the
purpose of having llio high school course
examined in order that the school
might bo placed upon the accredited list of
the university. Ho read a letter from Presi
dent Angel ! in which the well-known educa
tor seemed to Indicate that the Omaha high
school was looked uiwn with favor and
would in all probability bo placed on the list
as soon as a professor from the university
could make the necessary examination of the
work done here. By having the high school
on the accredited list graduates will bo ad
mitted to the freshman class of the univer
sity without examination. The resolution
was adopted.
JiiHtriietlons Tor Inspector * .
On motion of Mr. Elgathcr the building ,
inspectors were instructed to suspend work
on all buildings in which pressed brick
were used when the mercury falls below ! W =
Fahrenheit and on buildings where common
brick were used when the mercury fell below
U4 = . This was intended as a protection
against freezing the fresh bresh brickwork
and spoiling it. The resolution was adopted.
The secretary was instructed to ad
vertise for bids for additional lots
adjoining or a now site for the Long school.
Mr. Gibson introduced a resolution , which
was adopted , to compel till coal dealers fur
nishing coal for the schools to have the coal
weighed on the city scales and deliver the
weight slip with the coal.
Mr. Thomas brought up the matter of
the teachers' training school. He offered a
resolution to re-establish the training school
and open it for the reception ot pupils the
first week in February ; also to appoint a
special committee to formulate additional
rules for the government of the training
school.
Mr. Elguttcr wanted the matter put over
for two weeks , claiming that the
reinstatement of the training school
would necessitate a change in the
rules of the board and all changes in the
rules had to be first presented and laid over
for two weeks before final action. Mr. Kl-
gutter referred to a rule of the board which
appeared to sustain his view of the question
but the chair ruled the resolution was in
order and could bo disposed of at once.
Objects to thu Training School.
Mr. Elgutter appealed from the decision of
the chair but was not sustained. Ho ad
dressed the board at some length endeavor
ing to show that the teachers' training
school was the school system and
that . the board , had no more
right lo educate firofesslonal teachers
than to educate \v\crs or doctois. Ho
quoted from report ? frpm other cities , showIng -
Ing that the maintenance of training schools
had been injurious to th't ) teaching standard.

We can't
Do like our friends who sell $15 suits
for $5.00 for the simple reason that the
suits we sell for $15 are wholesaled for
almost that much , and it is therefore
plain that in order to sell a $15 suit for $5
we would get such enormous profits it
would be an easy matter to sell at $5.
But we can't. Some -people can , but we
can't.

We can
sell you a cheviot or plain cassimere suit
in either cutaway or sack , in all shades ,
principally gray , brown , blue and fancy
colors that we sold last month for $10.50 ,
for the phenominal price of $8.75. We
could say the former price was $20 , seas
as to make you think we were just losing
$8,75 on every suit we sold , but it's a
$10.50 suit for $8.75.
