Ifo was burled ns the 'rlend of the people. From 8 o'clock this morning Iluntlngton hall , where the ro- inalns lay in state , was besieged by a push- ng , Jostling crowd. The crush was Inde scribable. Women fainted , children were trampled on , but still many were turned away unsatisfied. At 11 : ! ) < ! the hall was closed nnd the body of General Butler was surrendered by the jrand Army , In whose keeping it had been , ; o thn state authorities. To them was as signed the duty of giving it military burial. \JO\\K \ \ before the hour of services in the church the sidewalks in the neighborhood began to ho crowded , anil when the body was carried from the hall across the street to the church fully JI.OOO people were in sight.

POLITICS IN THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS Km Nonjmrtlnun Pcnturr * OlO ctlnnnble to Jinny of the City Council' * Members In Iteennl to the of Vlmliicta , The city council met in adjourned session last night for the purpose of considering the charter amendments as reported by the spe cial cotntnltce , Upon motion the proposed amendments , , ns printed in Tun Hen , wcro read , section by section. Everything moved along without hitch or hindrance until the section providing for the compensation of Judges and clerks of election was reached. It was moved to strike out $0 and insert ? D as the compensation of each Judge and clerk serving at each general election. The motion sctl tion prevailed. Mr. Elsusser moved that the judges and clerks at special elections receive $4 instead of $3 for serving at each election. Tills amendment was adopted. Mr. Hascall wanted the mayor , the chief Ol police , the lire and police commissioners and all of the patrolmen of the city to co- opurato with the Board of Health In the cn- 'orcement of health regulations. The sug gestion was adopted. Authority giving the jo.ird the right to enact rules relating to the general health of the city was taken away and [ J the power delegated to the city council. On the Stilijt'ct of VlntliirM. Upon the subject of viaducts the council adopted an amendment which provides that when a railroad is ordered to construct or re construct any viaduct and falls to do so , the city may go on and do the work , charging the expenses to the company. Mr. Howcll offered n resolution , which was uloptcd , that the city may purchase or con struct subways and conduits for the laying of telegraph , telephone and electric light wires. Upon the right of the city to buy water- .vorks . and other plants , the rate of interest .hat bonds Issued for that purpose should bear was fixed at 5 per cent. When the section bearing upon taxes was cached , Mr. Saundcrs offered a resolution to ax moneys and credits , stocks , bonds and franchises. The resolution was adopted. The salaries of the members of the board of review was reduced from $10 to $0 per day. Hoard of Public Workn. Touching upon the subject of the Board of ublic Works , Mr. Wheeler offered a rcsolu- rlon to iho effect that the two associate mem bers should receive a salary of . ' , " 00 ; that ono of the members should have exclusive charge of all public improvements above the surface of the streets and that the other should have exclusive charge of all public uiprovements below the surface ; that each ncmbcr should have power to appoint and emove his inspectors. Mr. Hascall wanted to elect the members of the board. Mr. Howell was of the opinion that such a or course would drive the board into politics. Mr. Munro insisted that the true way to get good men would bo by apiK > intment. After continuing his speech Mr. Munro noved that the clause in the charter provid ing that the members should be possessed of certain political faith be stricken out. in This llrcd up Mr. Elsasser , who urged that Iho members should bo elected. Mr. Jacobson favored the scheme of elect ing the members of the board , and , going jeyond this point , ho Insisted that the people ple should elect the city engineer and the city attorney. Mr. Edwards was of the opinion that the mayor and the members of the council were is responsible to the people. That being the case , better men could bo secured by appoint ment than by election. Mr. Churchill thought that It was wrong ns to single out the members of the Board of Public Works for appointment and elect all othoi1 city ofllciuls. Mr. Howell insisted that the provision for ono member from each political party should stay in the charter. When a vote was reached the political phases of the charter were stricken out and Lho proposition to elect was defeated , after which Mr. Wheeler's resolution was adopted. Specifications proposed by the Board of l' Publio Works and the city engineer have to bo adopted by the council. Right hero the council reconsidered the vote by which Air. Wheeler's resolution was adopted , for the reason that his resolution referred to the old , and not to tho-amended charter. Mr. Wheeler would not down , so ho got his nt resolution referred to the judiciary com mittee. The council will hold another meeting at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

The Omaha Ministerial union became so interested in the question of bible study in to the public schools at its regular monthly meeting yesterday morning that the report of the committee appointed to investigate the gambling evil and other forms of metro politan wickedness was not taken up , and Omaha people do not as yet know what awfully wicked folks they are. The report will bo considered at a special meeting to beheld O. held next Monday. $ In his discussion on "Moro Bible In Our Educational System" Hov. Mr. Sterling of the Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church said that when it came to a choice as to which should bo slighted , secular studies or the bible , ho would prefer to see the former laid aside and the extra time devoted to the study of the blblo. "I hold , " said the reverend gentleman , "that the recent decision of the supreme court of Wisconsin to the effect that the bible cannot properly bo taught In the public schools is not right. I will say frankly that if that Is to bo the stand taken by our law givers , then I shall bo obliged to withdraw my personal support from the public schools. " The regular course of study , the speaker thought , ought to bo shortened to admit of some time to bo given to the consideration of religious affairs. There were only two ways out of the difficulty , Mr. Sterling said ; ono in was the establishment of denominational schools , of which ho was not In favor ; the second plan was to contract the courses of study in the public schools and devote the time to the bible and religious matters. The paper siifliced to give several of the ministers present an opportunity to make some rather severe strictures on the public school system. Dr. J. A. Henderson said ho had taken his children out of the public ' schools because ho could not endure the thought of having them educated with the money derived from sinful and degrading in stitutions sanctioned by the city government. Another minister said ho believed that the educational system would eventually lead to got atheism. The public schools finally found a cham pion in Hov. T. J. Maekay of All Saints' Episcopal church. "I believe that there is a great deal moro in God's king dom. " said Mr. Mackay , "than the til brethren who nave been presenting tills the subject hero this morning would have us no- llovo. I have boort grentlv surprised to hrnr whnt wo hnvb Heard tills morning from these brethren ! I am not In hnrmony with Hall , ami nt our next meeting I nlmll present - sent , by request , n paper upon the opposite sldo of the quiotloh , Betting forth the atti tude that I thlhk should bo sustained by the Christian churtli toward our public schools. " Hov. Alfred Hridgottii of the South Tenth Street MethtMUt church , In agreeing with Hov. MMkay said : "While 1 hnvo heard only n part of the discussion this morning TI want to enter my pro test right now-jignlnst that which 1 hnvo heard touching the evil tendencies of our public schools. I am a friend of the public schools. For Prottstant people to abandon the public schools would bo to do just the thing that the church of Homo would have us do. I for ono do not propose ta do that thing. I am for the public schools with all my heart. " The matter will bo the subject of some further discussion at the next meeting , when several protests will bo made against the remarks of Hov. Mr. Sterling and Dr. Henderson. LAWS FOB WAGE EARNERS Itrport of .Mo r.i. Dmvi-r ninl Ilrnrock of Work In 1'roKreHfi ill Lincoln. The organization committee of the Central Labor union , at a meeting held Saturday night , discus scd the advisability of calling a convention of all labor organizations throughout the state to meet in Omaha for the purKso | of forming n state federation. No decided action was taken on the matter and It will bo further discussed. A central labor union Is to bo created at Lincoln to watch the Interests of the laborIng - Ing classes during the session of the legis lature. The committee consisting of Frank E. Ucacock and C. C. Dcavcr , who rop'resetit the labor union at Lincoln in caring for legislation affecting the welfare of the labor organiza tions , made a short report of their work yesterday. Mr. Deavcr said the committee was working with all political parties to secure desired legislation and the pros pects were excellent for good from the present body. Much of the report deals with the bill introduced by Kepre.sen- tativo Irwin to do away with PinUertontsm in Nebraska. "Tho employing classes" tlu , report says "are afraid the real estate owners will open up the mechanics lien law and attempt to destroy some of its important features. This will bo resisted by the combined influence of the united labor clement cf the state. " The Horse Collar Makers union , in noting the placing of Murderer Oeorgo Fauss In that department ofj the penitentiary , has entered a protest. Ono o' the union delegates said yesterday : "Wo do not object to Fauss being employed , but wo do say it is wrong for his labor to compete with men who have not murdered their wives , but who are trying to raise and educate their sons and daughters. What we want and propose to have at this legislature is a bill compelling all convict labor made coeds to be conspicuously labeled with a metal tag. It is false political er-onomy to allow contractors to absorb enormous profits out of convict labor and after pocketing the difference in price between honest and convict labor to put the goods upon the mar ket in competition with the labor of honest men and good citi ens. The union thinks that but few horse collars will bo sold from the penitentiary when that fact is adver tised to passers-by by a conspicuous label. A bill to this effect will bo presented tomorrow the day after. " CAMPBELL IS COMING. Ohio's I2x-Govrrnor Kxpectotl to Arrive In Oninliu Toilny. Ex-GoVernor Campbell of Ohio is expected Omaha this morning. Mr. Swobe tele graphed to the Mlllard yesterday , from Chicago , ordering rooms reserved for the famous politician. The apartments were prepared and hold hi readiness for Governor Campbell all day , but ho did not arrive on any of the incoming trains from Chicago. It expected that ho-will reach the city ou the Northwestern express ut 8 o'clock this morning. Governor Campbell is remembered chiefly the gubernatorial candidate in Ohio , when the author of the McKinley bill was en dorsed and vindicated by election as gov ernor. Before the Ohio campaign Governor Campbell was prominently spoken of in con nection with the democratic presidential nomination. Had ho defeated Governor Mc- Kinlcy the fact that he carried Ohio would have made him a formidable rival of Cleve land. Ills defeat has somewhat reduced his political importance , but ho remains very popular l among his fellow democrats. Vromlncnt Y. AV. C. A. 1'i-oplo Here.
