LINCOLN , Juno 30. ( Special to The Bee. )
Some of the eminent financiers for which
the capital city Is noted are duo nt this
Juncture to add to their already well-lined
nests several well developed feathers. The
opportunity nroso with the refunding of Da
kota county bonds , which were brought In
from that county this morning by County
Clerk T. V. Bronnnn and. T. J. Clark , chair
man of the board of supervisors. These
bonds originally were Issued back In the
70's to provide fund" for the building of a
railroad. The amount was $129,000 , nnd In
1882 they were funded as C per cent optional
bonds , nnd were good accuniv. Now they
ithave been refunded at ! ' / ; per cent , nnd the
stale agrees to lake llicm for 4 per cent.
They have yet eight years to run , and the
Insignificant matter of the % per cent , which
in the olght years amounts to $5.ICO , goes to
tha bond manipulators. Ono of the stale
ofllclals who Is somewhat given to rumina
tion and speculation on the devious ways of
bond manipulators , wonders what would hap
pen If the state should tay : "Wo'll take the
IV : money , " which It has u right to do. The
state owns the 0 per cent bonds , and as the
ton years are up , aflur which Ihcy became
optional , It may lake Iho refunding bonds , or
demand the money. The bond men have
only n contract , nnd In the present con
dition of the bond market they would nnd
some difficulty In selling Dakota county bonds
ut oven 6 per cent.
The original C per cent bonds Imvo been
furnishing to the permanent school fund
nn Income of nearly $9,000. $ The refunding
bonds at 4 % pur cent would reduce this by
IV , per cenl of JI29.000 , which would Justify
the state In demanding the money.
The only objection the Board of Educational
lands and funds had to find with the bonds
was that they were dated July 1 , which falls
on Sunday.
The retiring Board of Education held
Its final meeting last night , reporllng ns a
legacy to Iholr successors n debt of $83,000.
The county commissioners were notified that
a levy of 9 mills would bo required lo meet
\ the dnllcR nnd a levy of 9 mills for the ox-
xiL pauses of the coming yenr. The report of
Superintendent Strong showed the total en
rollment to have been 7,400 , and the average
dally nltendnnce , 4.7fl9.
At n rather enthusiastic meeting of busi
ness men , hold tn the Lincoln hotel last
night , the Lincoln Commercial club was or
ganized for business. A board of fifteen di
rectors was selected and a commltteo np-
IfVt polntod to solicit members.

KnJoynWo Tlmn Spent In the AVooils AVIth
Music ntul Came * .
The wooded hills and little dells near
South Twentieth and Boulevard streets re.
sounded with the echoes from Llederkranz
voices yesterday when that society gave a
basket plcnls there. "Frlsh Auf Kamora-
den" and many of their familiar German
songs floated out upon the delightfully cool
air on that shady spot. In Its vocal rendi
tions the society was nhly assisted by mom >
bars of the Saengerbund nnd the Swiss SingIng -
Ing society. Llederkranz's ladles' class also
contributed a share to the musical program.
In the Intervals between the songs closer
acquaintanceship was cultivated and all the
visitors seemingly enjoyed themselves to the >
fullest extent.
There were games , too , for their diversion
and refreshments were served in true Ger
man stylo. Many ladles were present serv
ing viands and entertaining their friends in
social chats. The younger generation also
had not remained at home , but held pleasant
tete-a-tetes under shady trees at a little dis
tance from the concentrating spot , especially
when they were not engaged with greater
numbers In sport of some character.
The arrangements for this social tlmo were
made by a committee consisting of Messrs.
F. KlenUe , H. Elsele , F. Meyer , Phillip Kunz
and August Spltlto. There were many en
tries In the amusing games. The ladles
entered the contests Win a determination.
The ladles' egg race , for Instance , drew out
a goodly number of contestants for the
prizes. The result In this demonstrated
thnt the llcetcst of foot Is
not always sure of carrying the fruit homo.
The first prize , after some delay and several
starts , was won by Mrs. II. Koerner. It
was a silver hairpin box. Miss Agle Tuss
was awarded the second prlzo In the shape
of half a dozen silver tea spoons. A silver
belt buckle , as the last prize , was won by
Mrs. Anna Klenkc.
In the little girl's running race Katie
Kaiser carried off a breastpin ; Anna Clarke ,
a jumping rope ; Minnie Elsele , a pin ; Lulu
Hainan , a basket , and Anna Lleberknccht ,
a pin.
The boys' race resulted In Fred Melcher's
winning a base ball bat ; Charles Tuclis. the
same , and Robert Kunz and Pcrclval Drcl-
bus were awarded each a base ball.
There was someHttlo dispute In the
men's hop race , Augustus Arneman and

pair , claiming the prize , but It was settled
by a division of the spoils ,
The shooting matci proved a great at.

The school census takers have completed
their task , and their reports will be pro-
Dented to the Hoard of IMucatlon at the
next meeting. The reports have not been
checked up yet by the committee and con
sequently are not nude public. It la
stated , however , that the total number of
school children la the city , acordtne to the
reports. Is 29,874 , as compared with a total
of 20,742 according to the previous census.
It Is suspected that one or two of the can
vassers have made errors , as certain dis
tricts show a decided falling off , for which
there is no explanation. This will be In
vestigated by the committee , and as soon
as the figures are satisfactory they will
be made public.
PAYING THE PENALTY.
Judge Dumly I'nsHcH Sentence on n Number
or Convicted Prlsonm-s.
Judge Dundy sentenced a couple , cf
prisoners yesterday In the federal court.
Ho expected to have disposed of the Com-
monweoler cases yesterday , but was not
feeling well enough. Moonshiner Tootcrs
was brought In for sentence , liut a motion
for a new trial postponed the mo until
Monday. Teeters is the man who was con
victed of running an Illicit still at Mc-
Cook.
George Sterling , alias Charles Taylor , was
the first person arraigned. He was lined
5100 and the costs of the prosecution and
sentenced to servo two years In the peni
tentiary at Sioux Falls , S. D.
Sterling Is the man who broke Into the
North 1'latto postofllco last winter , blew
open the safe with dynamite and stole $2,000
worth of stamps and cash , most of which
was recovered when he was arrested In
New York City a few weeks later. Sterling
Is In very poor health or the judge would
i.avo given him a longer sentence. He
was taken to prison in the afternoon. While
In North Platte Sterling was a dally visitor
to the Voting Men's Christian association
rooms and by his exemplary habits won Hie
friendship of many of the members while ho
was forming his plans to rob the postofllce.
Lewis Denno was fined $100 and costs and
sentenced to hard labor In the county Jail
until October 20. He has been In jail since
March 20 , and the maximum sentence Is
only twelve months at hard labor. Denno Is
a young man who went to Hod Cloud from
Buchanan , Mich. , to work for an uncle. While
there he stole letters addressed to John
Martin and attempted to unlawfully learn
the secrets of Martin's correspondence with
parties living In nuchanan. Patrick Ilawes ,
who was Denno's attorney , told the judge
that ho wished an order from the court for
a good suit of clothes for his client when
he was released from custody , us the clothIng -
Ing he wore when arrested had been stolen
since his confinement. The judge demanded
proofs of the attorney's assertion * and said
that If they were true he would make serious
trouble for some one. Ilawes said that he
understood that when the other prisoners
wore released they selected the best clothing
they could find and In this way some of the
ragged prisoners were enabled to get good
suits when they got out of jail. The judge
told Ilawes to present proofs and ho would
take n hand In the matter.
Willis Jones , nccusc-d of having counterfeit
coin In hla possession , was given a hearing
before Commissioner Uundy In the after
noon.
Judge Dundy will piobably render his de
cision In th < } cases of the Commonwcalcrs on
Monday morning.
OMAHA , June 30. To the Kdltor of The
Dee : The present state of the permanent
school fund docs not seem to be very en
couraging. Part of the same remains Idle
and the result 1s a reduced apportionment.
Some years ago the op | > ortlonment used to
be nearly $1 per pupil , now It has dropped
to 03 cents per pupil. And wo have not been
the worst yet. The permanent school fund
will grow as contracts for land will keep
maturing and payments on school land con
tinue to bo made , and unless the state and
counties keep getting Involved and fulling
deeper Into debt , there will bo no way to
Invest the school fund.
You think that the bona fide holder * of
warrants on exhausted state funds will pre
fer to dispose of them to the State Heard
of Education. In tills you may be mistaken.
The state warrants ore such a good Invest
ment , that the \rokers offer a premium of
H to 1 per cent on good sized warrants
and holders will preKr In that case to dls-
poao of them at a prcnvhiui to the broker
than without premium to the board.

of modes of Investment open up the way to
squandering the fund ?
It might occur to many now that a great
mistake was made In disposing of our school
lands and creating this large cash fund.
How much better would we be off now and
still lion- much better In the far future , If
the stale would have kept all the school
lands forever and leased them perpetually
at a low valuation ? Then wo would have
no cash fund , constantly growing and con
stantly in danger , but a steady source of In
come from leases , which would increase
steadily with the increasing value of school
lands.
This Is what might have been and yet
It is not. altogether too late. True , our best
school lands are gene Into private owner
ship , largely In the hands of speculators ,
but there Is still a large amount of school
land held under a lease only. If the next
legislature would change the law so as to
prohibit all further sales and provide for
long time leases , there would be hope at
least that the present dlfTlcultlcs would not
bo aggravated in the future. What do you
think of It ? J. HOSICKY.

A quiet wedding , which occurred In an
eastern city one day last week , furnishes
the concluding chapter In the love story
of ono of the most attractive nnd popular
of Omaha school teachers. The event Is
Involved In some romance that Invests It
with more than ordinary Interest , and the
many frlonds of the happy brldo have
scarcely been able to so far recover from
their surprise as to express their earnest
wishes for her future happiness.
The peculiar feature of the affair Is that
up to a few hours before the wedding the
brldo had not the icniotcst Idea that she
was to be married. She had made far dif
ferent plans for her vacation , which ac
counts for the surprise with which her
friends received the news of her marriage.
If there had been time for such prelimin
aries the wedding cauls would have stated
that Miss Kdltli Morton was to bo married
to Mr. IS , Q. Hutchlnson of Now York. The
groom In a successful business man of the
metropolis ) , while Mian Morton was ono of
the most attractive and popular of Omaha's
teachers. Miss Morton Mine to Omaha
about live years ago nnd began teaching In
the Central school , where she remained up to
the close of the present school year. Her
parents lived at Shelby. la. , and for some
time past bhe IMS expressed the Intention
of Inducing them to muve to this city.
Among her plans was also n trip to Kuropo
during her- vacation , and as soon as her
school work was over Bliu started for New
York , Intending to tnkett Cunard liner for
her destination , lleforu gain,1 ; she made all
arrangements for a boarding place , etc. , ex
pecting to bo back Just In tlmo for the open
ing of school In the fall.
Hut the event proved that the blind god
dess had plans as well as sho. It transpires
that before her parents moved to Iowa , Miss
Morton was a rebldont of New York , where
she met the gentleman who Is now lior hus
band. A brief courtship was followed by
mutual affection , and ulitn she cnmu west
It was with the understanding that xhe would
soon become his \\lfo. Hut n misunder
standing cuine between them , and It ended
by her asking for a celonso from her en-
gagomcnt. which was promptly grunted.
Miss Morton then guvo all her unerglcu
to her echnol work , nnd endeavored to for
get the old love story. Tha recent event
would Indlcato that she was not entirely
successful , but her moat Intimate frlcndx
declare that when she left Omaha she Imil
no Idea of adding a husband to her earthly
possessions. Hut the New York man was
biding his time , and when Miss Morton ar
rived In New York ho wan waiting to re
new IIH | suit. What arguments ho brought
to I war Is not In evidence , but hU success
la Indicated by the fact that a wedding was
Improvised on the spot , and Mrs. Hutchln-
BOII Is now on her way to Kurope with n
husband , Instead of a chnperon. The IIOWH
wan brought to Omaha through a letter
written by the bride to an Intimate friend ,
and the best wishes of hundreds of friends
are now following her across the ocean.
DUMPING WHERE THEY WISH.
I'avi'il Streiits In tlio
City Limits Used n n
Dnniplni : Cromicl by ( Jurliilgo Hiiulon.
Under the present condition of the garbage
muddle the prominent citizen who does not
awake In the morning to find that his front
lawn has been converted Into a dump during
the night Is In extremely good luck. Tin
number of garbage dumps that exist In open
defiance to law seems to bo on the Increase
and the effrontry of the gentlemen , who maka
a business of collecting nnd distributing the
city's filth seems to he suffering not at all.
A Bee reporter took a trip through ths
northeastern part of the city not the sub
urbs , but the city yesterday nnd noted
the presence of a largo number of dumping
places that seem to have escaped the atten
tion of the public. Eleventh street seems to
be the favorite resort of the garbage man.
It Is newly paved and for blocks the whole
distance from Clark to Locust streets , huga
piles of garbage of every description are
found on clthor sldo of the street. No Iroublo
seems to have been taken to keep the garbagq
free from the pavement , and night soli ,
kitchen slops , manure and refuse of all
sorts overflows the curbstone.
The open sewer from Nicholas street to
the river Is also n favorite dumping place
for the garbage men. At Klghth and Locust
streets there Is a private garbage dump of
several acres In extent , wnllo n sign directs
the wagon man to "a convenient saloon where
ho Is expected to pay G and 10 cents per
load , according to the nature of the garbage
ho Is hauling. Other dumping places exist
along on both sides of Locust street from
Klovcnth to the East Omaha lino.
Most of these dumps are located on wet
and low ground nnd nro concealed by tha
dense growth of ruilioa , willows and bur
dock weeds , The stench arising from all
of them Is something worth going mile's to
avoid. In nddltlon to the stench , the garbage -
bago man have undertaken In many In
stances to burn the dryer part of the re
fuse , and as a result of their ml < dlrected
efforts the smudge and smoke continues for
week after week , to the Intense disgust to
the people living In the eastern nnd north ,
eastern parts of the city. Ono of thea *
llren has been burning for some tlmo east
of the vinegar works , the recent heavy rain *
merely having the effect to smolder but not
to smother the flames.
The garbage dump litigation was called In
Judge Ferguson's court yesterday afternoon
on the application of Henry I ) , Coombs to
compel the Hoard of Health to establish a
dumping place for haulers outside of the
MacDonald combine
The health commissioner stated that tha
board had passed u resolution providing for
the establishment of a dump at BOIDO unKnown -
Known point within threo-tuartcrs | of a mlle
of the city limits. The attorney for
Coombs maintained that this was un evasion
or the order nf the court , and pending a
hearing on this point the whole question
wont over until next Tuesday morning.

their attention during the fore part of next
