MI\T SPECIAL ShSSION
Board of Education Transacts Much Business

Ernplii for the Fnlr Defective
rinmhlnc nt Siirntocj.
The Board of ICducatlon met In special
csslon last night for the transaction of reg-
inr business. There were no especial fca-
, urcs to the meeting.
The secretary nnu president were author-
red to draw a warrant In favor of the No-
raska Phonograph company for ? 170 for ono
.ihonograph nnd also to contract with the
. ompany lor the lease of two other phono-
r.iphs at the rate of fV ) for the use of the
machines during the continuance of the
Aorld's fair. Thcso machines will bo used
11 exhibiting the public school music.
Committee on buildings and property re-
) ortcd In favor of having repairs costing fHOO
nado upon the Cass school. Some discussion
rose over how this work should bo done ,
'lie. rules provide that the board shall nd-
ortiso for bids upon all matters whcro the
xpendlturo exceeds § 200. Some of the mem-
icrs thought , that as the work was needed
mmcdlatolynnd was madoupof smalMtems ,
; ho most practical way to proceed would bo
o allow the superintendent of buildings to
ave the work done ns ho found most ox-
edlent and economical.
Mr. Smyth and C. E. Babcock hold that
.ho " board could not Instruct the supcrlnten-
"cut to proceed with the work without ad-
ertlsing , ns this would bo a violation of the
: iw governing the board.
It was linally decided to advertise for bids
n part of the work , and Instruct the super
intendent of buildings to have the rest douo
ivithout securing bids.
The committee on property recommended
. .ho purchase of a thirty-foot strip of ground
' idjoining the Bancroft school on the north.
The committee was of the opinion that the
ground could bo secured for fHK ! ) . After dis
cussion the board decided to lay the matter
on the tablo.
"VViiius Krllcvcd of llli Contract.
Mr. P. J. Cumings , to whom the contract
for grading the Center school site was lot ,
informed tliu board that ho would bo obliged
to give up the Job as ho had no place In
which to dispose of the earth nnd could not
afford to proceed with the work at the price
ho hnd submitted in his bid , 11 cents per
cubic .yard. Ho explained that the delay on
the part of the board in getting the old
building out of the way had upset his ar
rangements for disposing of the dirt , nnd ho
did not tliink the hoard ought to hold him to
the contract. The communication was
placed on llio.
communication was received from the
Sioux City Board of Education inviting the
Omaha board to attend the opening of the
new High school building at Sioux City on
Tuesday evening , May 23. The secretary
was instructed to express the thanks of the
board ifor the courteous invitation. It is
hardly probable , however , that the mem
bers of llio Omana board wil } attend the
dedication.
Plumbing Inspector Duncan informed the
board through n written communication
that the plumbing nnd sewerage now being
placed in the new Saratoga school , on Ames
avenue , was defective In that there was not
sufHcicnt fall between the building and
the sewer in the street. lie quoted
from the ordinance to prove that he had the
power to demand that nil sewer pipe shall
bo laid with not less than one-fourth of an
inch fall to the foot. The architect having
explained the situation at the Saratoga
building at a previous mooting the communi
cation was placed OA file.
A vigorous chlrographlcal kick from
Thomas J. Lund regarding delays upon the
Central school building was also consigned
to the lllowithoutraution.
Minor Matter * .
The board allowed the final estimate in
favor of Richard Smith on the brick work of
the now Saratoga and West Omaha school
buildings , amounting to1,034.GO. .
The board authorized the president and
secretary to enter into a contract for the
work of leveling up the grounds of the
Leavenworth school and making ths prop
erty more sightly.
On recommendation of the property committee
mitteo it was decided to maintain ono
alleged 2,000-candle power arc light upon the
High school school grounds , with the under
standing that the city council would also
maintain an arc light of the same power.
These lights will cost $75 during the ensuing
x months.
Mr. Peai-hon of the committee on bound
aries notified the board that ho would call
the board together on May 29 to make ar
rangements for taking the school census.
Some of the members objected to the idea of
calling a special meeting of the committee lo
attend to this business. They wanted the
secretary authorized to proceed with' the
enumeration of the school children. The
matter was referred to the committee on
boundaries.
On motion of Mr. Elguttcr , the secretary
was instructed to inquire ns to whether or
not the city treasurer had complied with the
law In placing the moneys belonging to the
school board out at interest , and it the inter
est earned hau boon turned into llio treasury ,
as required by law.
SENATOB MAND.ERSON TALKS.
Posiofllro Construction Nebraska' * llnlld-
liiB nt the Fair.
"Work on Iho now military garrison efFort
Fort Crook is progressing as well as could bo
expected , " said Senator Mandcr.son yester
day to a BBC reporter. "Tho remainder of
the $500,000 ulroauy appropriated will bo
expended this year nnd that will complete
quarters for four companies. In duo tlmo
the post will be inuuo u regular twelvo-com-
nany garrison , 1 nope , mm will rank with the
best military posts in the country. "
Touching upon the delay in tHe construc
tion of the federal postofllca building , the
senator said : ' 'I think the present delay
will bo of short duration. 1 have insisted
nil along that in the construction of the
Omaha building nothing but granlto should
bo considered in the stone contract. Wo
want granite , nnd to mo It is absurd to think
of putting limestone or "sandstone into a
building of that character. "
The senator stopped a few days nt the
World's fair on his way homo. "Tho No-
brnska building Is a very creditable ono , "
said the senator , "This talk about it being a
miserable and ungainly ploco of architecture
and very much inferior to oilier slate
bulldinga on the grounds IB nil a mis-
tnko. The building looks very well and no
Nobruskan need fcchushaincd of it. Wo have
made ono mistake ns a state , however , at
the fair in not placing on exhibition nioro of
the things manufactured in Nebraska.
There aru aomn younger states to the west
and north of us that will make n very
creditable showing of minerals , and In those
particular lines wo could not hope to compete -
pete with them , but wo might have made a
very urodltahle uhowing for a young com
monwealth in the line of manufactured
products. There Is a mutter in con
nection with the World's fair that 1 think
Omaha ought to look out for. When the fair
is over there will bo u scattering of people
from Chicago , Thousands of men in every
line of business will bo obliged to Icavo Chicago
cage because there will not be employment
or business enough tiicro to support them.
Now the point I wish to emphasize is this
Omaha should bo In shape to get her shara
of the ovorllow. There ought to ho some Ju-
dlcious advertising done that would attract
some of these people to Omaha. Other
cities have already began to advertise with
this very Idea In view. Why should we not
tnko advantage of the mine opportunltyt
There U something for the Commercial club

CHICAGO , III. , May 20. Contrary to general -
oral expectation , the mooting of general
managers today resulted In nothing. The
Atchison Is out of the Western Passenger
association and -will remain an outsider until
the matters nro tuljustcd to Its liking. The
committee of seven , appointed nt the meet
ing yesterday , presented Its rcj > ort today
and recommended that ? 17.50 bo the trip
rate between Chicago nnd the Missouri river ,
and $37.60 the round-trip rate between
Chicago and Colorado common points. All
the roads represented on the committee
favored this with the exception of the Bur
lington and Hock Island. They wanted It
higher.
The Atchison agreed to let the rates go
over the figures first submitted by It , rather
than bo called n dlsorgnnlzcr of rates. It
agreed to the rates reported by the commit
tee. Baying that such was Its reason for so
doing.
When the report was submitted to the
general meeting , n long discussion followed.
The Kock , Island insisted that the settlement
of the trouble between the Denver & Itlo
Grande nnd Colorado Midland and the con
sequent restriction of rates In Colorado , in
volved the restoration of all rates cast of the
rlvor ns well as west.
To this the Atchison demurred , declaring
that in the settlement between Presidents
Jeffrey and llcltihart nothing whatever was
said about the restoration of rates cast of
the river.
General Manager St. John of the Ilock Isl
and then read n telegram from President
Jeffrey of the Denver & Ulo Grande , which
ho claimed upheld his assertion , and Passen
ger 'frank1 Manager White declared the tele
gram was Indellnlto and he further Insisted
that the Atchison had no dealings whatever
with the Denver & Uio Grande a strictly
Colorado road relative to rates In a terri
tory where the Denver & Ulo Grande had
nothing to say about the rates of any sort.
The discussion were flnnlly ended by a vote
In which the recommendation of the com-
mltto was lost by 11 nays to 15 ayes ,
it requiring a unanimous vote to carry
the proposition. The votes against the
recommendation was almost entirely these
of the Burlington , llock Island and the con
necting lines. Those roads in favor of the
resolution were the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Paul , Northwestern , Union Pacific , St.
Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha and nil the
larger roadswith the exception of the Alton
and Illinois Central , which did not vote , al
though they were represented.
The World's fair rates now in effect on the
Atchison will remain for some days , at
least , and may remain permanently. No
action will bo taken until instructions nro
received from President Uelnhart in Boston.
The Atchison , however , will , according to
the local oftlcials , act in a conservative man
ner and will begin no slaughter of rates un
less compelled b.v Its competitors.
"Withdraw Irani the Association.
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , May 20. Charles M.
Pratt , general passenger and ticket agent of
the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad , today
gave formal notice In the meeting
of the Western Passenger associa
tion in Chicago of the withdrawal of his road
from the association , to take immediate
effect. The cause of this action is the desire
of the Albert Lea route to give to the people
of the northwest the same proportionate
reduction in rates to the World's fair ns is
contemplated to 'bo madb from Missouri
riror , Kansas and Colorado points. This is
the first line to offer the public the boncflt
of the decidedly lower rates from the north
west. It will , in nil probability , force the
other roads to recede from the position that
has been taken against any reduction of
fare.

Colorado Itaton.
DENVER , Colo. , May 20. This afternoon a
Joint telegram was received by General
Agent G. W. Valley of the Burlington and
General Agent Firth of the Rook Island ,
signed by Managers Francis and Sebastian ,
ordering the restoration of the MS-round-
trip to Chicago and $37 to St. Louis. In
accordance with this the above roads offered
tickets at that price , but sold none , because
the Union Pacific and Santa Fc still cling to
the old round-trip rate of WO to Chicago and
$25 to St. Louis. The Santa Fo and Union
Pacific roads have issued no instructions to
restore the rates and are awaiting advices
from the Chicago conference.
