DlMliil.s-.al of Original CllMC
John Spoerl , dog catcher , and Israel Prank ,
meat Inspector , will , In all probiblllty , bo
tried In the criminal court on the old chargj
of obtaining money under fal'o pretences
from the city. The case , which was dis
missed a few days ago by Judge Scott be
cause , when the cass > was called , the protc-
cutlon failed to have any witnesses present ,
has been revived.
It is understood that the case will be called
for trial next Monday morning In th ? criminal
court room. Thla Is not olliclal because the
county attorney does not care to be Inter
view cJ
Commissioner Jenkins was yesterday
aaked by the county attorney If the Hoard of
County Commissioners would stand the e\-
pense of a t-Ial , and he answered emphat
ically that it would. In tweaking about the
matter , Jenkins said that s > o many taxpayers
had expressed tlielr Indignation to him re-
gardlug the disposition of the case , that ho
had no hesitancy In guaranteeing that the ex
pense v\ould be incurred by the county. He
said tint taxpayers had e\prebs d the opinion
that if the case were allowed to be diopped
It would bo placing a premium on iiiocallty
In public olllce.
Spoerl and Frank were rcarresfed late Mon
day night by Officer Dloom upon warrants
sworn out by faulty Attorney Maldrlge. Th'y
are chnigeJ with obtaining money mulct false
pretenses and the new complaint Is merely
a copy of the old one.
Detective McOuIro of Chicago and Captain
Mostyn , the pilnclpal witnesses ngaln&t Tr.inlc
and Spoerl , aio now In the city an 1 the cise
has once more 1 ean brought Into the courts
In order to allow their testimony to bo taken.
Spoerl vas taken to the police station Mon
day nlglit ard Immedla civ guo bonds for bis
appearance In Judge Herka's court todiy.
Frank's nricst followed and when he arrived
upon the tcene he had his own bondsman
with him In the person of S II. McDonald
The bonds , whluh were for $700 each , were
Blgrcd In both cases by Max HeN , an old
dog catcher and former employe of Spoeil'h
Spoerl's bond was also signed by John
Schocffer.
Frank was Monday reinstated In hK posi
tion as meat Inspector by Dr Savlllo of the
Iloaul of Health , because Di. Savlllo had
reached the conclusion that as Iho case had
been dismissed Fiank had been exonerated.
Iho board Biinp ° nded Fiank , pciidipi ; an In
vestigation , and It appears to be probable
that the board v\lll have to do the act again
and overrule Dr. Savll' ' " .
The bulky meat Inspector was veiy In
dignant yesterday ard was not at all slow
In haying what ho was going to do. Ho stated
that If h was not font to the penltenthry
on the charge standing against him ho would
certainly do something that would HJIK ! him
to the penitentiary This , Interpreted , Io con.
strucd to man tint Mr. Frank Intends to lie
for some one with a m-at abecjii e ho was
not allowed to go free when Judge Scott had
dlmiilsjcd tin' rase.
County Attorney Ilaldrlgo Is rather warm
under thu collir beciuso ths account of the
former case having been dismissed wa given
publicity. Sumo Idea of the tiuo linv irdness
of the affair was disclosed ycslcrdiy ,
however , In a few remaiks that were dropped
by an employe of the county attorney's olllce.
This employe , with borne apparent authority ,
said that ho did not believe that the wltnc ES > 9
against Frank and Spoerl , McGulre and Hell ,
could glvo any Impoitant testimony against
them anyway He d'd ' not think that they
counted the dogs thut were diowned and did
not think that their testimony would go foi
much. Whin It was intnt nncd to him that
County Attuinty Haldilg himself had wld
that he had a Htiong caiv against thu two men
and Intended to take route pride In the prose
cution , this employe seemingly came to HIP
conclusion that ho had talked too much with
his mouth mil then uild that ho had no doubt
but that the men wcio guilty.
Spoerl nml Frank were up for prellmlnaiv
hearing before Judge Hcrka at " p m yes
terday. Doth men waived examination and
wcrs bound over to the dktilct court , the
bond In ach cave being llxed by the judge
ut $700 County Attorney Italdrlge , when
okltcd when the ciso would be brought be
fore Judgs Scot' , replied that ho could not
Hot a dite positively , but that It would prob
ably be either Thurnliy of this wek or
Monday of next lie added that all the Im
portant \\ltncsjuB for the prosecution , with
the exception of Jack Hell of Chicago , were
now In the city , and that the trial of the dog
catchtr * vvo-ild bo pushed to completion with

his death , n coupl of days later. Ills testi
mony was uabstuutlally an lias already been '

Ho said that In the dispute which occurrel
between Cummlngs and thu crowd of I'lat'g- '
mouth boya over the first game of pool that
was played , Vance as silting on a table b ° -

what appeared to b * u froc-for-nll HitU1
Vance are e autvalkcJ around Cuii.iiiU.ga
and the pool table until he was almost oppo
site Cummlngs and facing him. It was a
this moment that Cummlngs picked up the
billiard cue and , without saying a word
struck Vance on the head.
On cress examination Iloetel said that the
boys hid been drinking during the evening
but that Vance was not very drunk Ho wa ;
certain that Vance had not said anything be
fore being struck by Cummlngs. After he
had fallen to the floor the men ran out o
the saloon , aid when they returned n few
minutes later , Cummlngs had a wet towel In
his hand and was wiping Vance't forehead
Iloetel had returned to I'lattsmouth with
Vance and remained with him until he died
Vance , In a moment of consciousness , had de
scribed bow he hart been struck.
Tlio physician who first attended Vance
after he returned to Plattsmouth waa nex
called Io the stind Ho was given a char
of Vance's bead , which had been sketchec
at the post-mortem , and explained It tn the
Jury. He said that Vance had been struck
on the forehead at a point about an Inch
from a previous fracture of the skull. HP
testified that deatli hid resulted from the
effects of the blow.
He said that at first he had not found
that the &kull had been fractured , but tin :
this wa- < discovered on the following mornIng -
Ing , whn two other physicians bad been
called In for consultation. The fracture was
then found , and three pieces of bone were
removed , and three othei depressed pieces
raised. He had not noticed that the skill
had been fractured beciuso the symptoms
were similar to the symptoms produced by
Intoxication. He had raielled Vance's bieath
and had been told tint he had been drinking
and therefore earn" to the conclusion that
ho W.\H Intoxicated
Dr. Livingstone corroborated the testimony

He explained the chart to th * jury and tohl

At a meeting of the Hoard of Education
Monday nlglit a resolution , which provided for
the submission of recommendations relative
to retrenchment In school affairs , wns voted
down and tils Introducer was not c\cn al
lowed to explain hls < position , nor the reasons
which Induced him to offer the document
for consideration. Members declared that the
resolution was uncalled for , and tint the
hoard would end the year In as Koo-d financial
condition as at the closp of last year. The
most suptrflcinl examination of the present
financial stilus of the Hoard of IMucallon
pslabllsheH tin- falsity of tills' ' argument.
At the end of ISO ! the expenses of th ?
board were found to 1m e largely exceeded
Its receipts. This , nildeil to a shortage In
herited from the previous year , left the
board about $100,000 short. It Is generally
admitted that the shortage nt the end of th
present year will bo approximately the sain *
as was Inherited from the previous year.
It Is on this that a majority of th membeis
bass their statement that theboaid will
came out In as good condition at the end ol
the year a-i thej were it the beginning.
Hut there are sevsral facts to \ > s con
sidered which entirely overwhelm thin theory
In the first place , up to 1S95 the board wits
compelled to accept a tax levy of 3 mills
The valuation In 1893 was $20,172,010 , and 111
revenue accruing to the school fund from
taxey was n little more than $60,000 In 18' ' ) !
the le\y was $11JI2G7SO , and the proceeds
of themlll : < levy amounted to $59,780 HI
At the he-ginning of tha present year It wni
represented that with the $100,000 deficit Ir
sight , It was Impel atlvo that there should
ba a radical Increase In the levy In order
that th ° board might pay off tha shortage
and get on a bound financial basis It war
declared that If the 1e\y was Increased to 7
mills , the board , through t'lrlct economy
could pay off the deficit and come
out verj nearly free from debt. On
thcse representations the additional levy
wns granted by the city council
The 1891 valuation was $19Gr.4,4GG
the revenue obtaining fiom a 7-mlll levy 01
thlt amount being $137 fiSl 20. Consequent ! }
the boird was granted an Increased revenue
of nearly $78,000 over that of the previous
year with vvh'ch to piy off the Indebtedness.
NOTHING AI'PMEO ON DEPICIT
IIow have the promises of the Hoard of Ed-
ucatlon been kept'
Not one doll.ir of the deflclencv has beer ,
pa hi and the heavy additional tax has > gone
to pay the regular expenses of the schools
Therefore , Instead of holding Ita own the
board will have spent i$78,000 mora of taxes
In ISlC th.in during the previous jear.
There Is another feature to be considered
Wh'le til' c ty council grantol the request
of the board for a 7-mlll levy last ycir In
view of Its serious financial condition , there
is no rearon to presume that It will be eipnlly
willing to pour money Into a rat hole this
year In fact , It Is ascertained that the coun
cil will refuse to grant more than the former
levy of 3 mills In 1S90. Thla statement I-
made on thu authority of a member of the
finance commute * of the city council and hi
view Is endorsed by several other tn ° mlier. >
One of the membcro said"It 10 an assured
fact that the council will not grant the Hoird
of Educnt'on ' mor = thin 3 mills for next year
We gave it a heavy increase last year for
a certain and fpeciflc purpose. That purpose
was never accompllsboJi even In the slight's" !
degree. While the citj has been malt ; ip
every effort to cut divvn e\p n jj the Hoard
of Education has not lopped off a single ? del
lar. It Ins even Increased the salary of the
i'upcrlntomlent of buildnqs and other ofllcers
If th- < members of the board ballcvo that the
members of the count ! ) are n lot of Re'ibetn
to bo buncoed for a second time the sooner
they find out tlielr mistake the betfr for
thorns Ives. They will get exactly 3 mills next
year anil they can cut tlic'r garments to meet
hat particular bah of clo'h "
No matter whit members of the board may
ilocla'o , It Is Impossible for them to evade
the gravity nf the situation. According to
figures , which they do not venture to dispute ,
they will end the year Just as < they began It ,
$100,000 hhort. If the levy Is cut down to 3
mills , as seems very probable , this shortage
will be nearly doubled.
The 1S9Gvaluation Is slightly less than
$18,000,000. The 3 mill tax will yield $54,000
on this amount If every dollcr of It io col
lected. This amount Is exactly $ S1KS1 20 less
than Ihe revenue afforded by a 7 mill levy
on the valuation of ISO I. Add this amount
to the $100,000 shortage already assured and
the result Indicates the situation which the
board will be compelled to face.
LICENSES WILL PALL OFF.
These figures do not take Into conyltlera-
tlon the lulling off In iccelpts from Ilc3ns-i
which Io to be anticipated. No one expect ?
that ihere v,111 he as many caloon licensch
taken out this year as previously Every
saloon clcsed means another $1,000 to be
tacked on to the deficiency. At the present
time no fines are being collected fiom Ihe
propri3tors or Inmates of dlaaiderly houses
and thus another source of revenue Is cut off
The state apportionment Is not likely to l > 2 a
la-ge as that which was received this year on
account of the delay In the payment of stale
taxes. Take these facts ) into consideration
and It Is plain that at the present rateof ex
pcnse the school district will find Itself short
to the tune of $200,000 at the end of 1890
How this emergency is to bs met without
a resort to the pruning knlf Is a secret that

prcfes cd such politic Indlgna hn Monday n'gh
when the question of a redaction cf salaries
was suggested It Is claimed by all member ?
of the board that with the exception of this
reduction , every possible means of economy
has been exhausted. Superintend nt 1'oarse
has carried the policy of consolidation farther
than It had e\cr teen promote ! by any of
his predecessors Nearly a score of rooms
have been consolidated and the s rv-
Ices of a corresponding number of
teachers dlspsns d with The rule compell
ing pilnolials to teach has been extended ,
and that economy tan bs cirrled much
further along those lines Is cut of the qucs-
t'on. ' The only r mainlng resource Is the
lopping off of fads and useless educational
superfluities and a reduction of ttalarles cor
