Thft Board of Education held a meeting
fast night for the purpose of conferring with
the committee of business men on the sub
ject of retrenchment In the schools. The
committee was conspicuous , however , by Its
Absence , All the board members were pres
ent except Bandhaucr and Davidson.
The matter came up In the shape of a
report from the committee on teachers and
examinations , to which had been referred the
recommendation to close some of the outlying
schools. The committee submitted a long re
port , recommending that the Ambler , Daven
port , Fort Omaha and Druid Hill schools be
closed , and * explaining In detail the practical
operation of the schools If this recommenda
tion were carried out. The cohimlttee also
recommended that the rooms In the Come-
nlus , Lincoln and Bancroft schools he consoli
dated In such a way as to dispense with
ona teacher In each building. The aggregate
saving for the school year by putting this
entire plan In operation would bo about
$7,000. This was the plan which had been
discussed at the last meeting of the board.
Plerson moved to lay the report on the
table , to liu considered aL a meeting to be
called for the purpose of considering It.
Tukcy called attention to the fact that
the city council would meet to make the
annual levy of taxes before the board had
another meeting , and some definite plan of
retrenchment should be agreed on before that
time. As chairman of the committee which
had been appointed to KO before the coun
cil , Jic desired the hoard to take action on
this report before the council met , and he
therefore moved as a substitute that the
board proceed to the Immediate consideration
of the report.
Edwards objected to the consideration of
the report at this time , saying that the- com
mittee of citizens was In waiting , and the
board should not keep them waiting while It
Indulged In a long winded discussion of the
question ,
Johnson objected to Immediate considera
tion. Ho said the members of the board
Itncw that the council would not give the
board all It asked for , and they might as

The question recurring on the motion to

CUTTING OFF ItEPAIIl FORCES.
Johnson then tried his hand , and presented
What ho called a minority report from the
committee on buildings and property. This
committee consists of Messrs. Tukey , Plcrson ,
Gratton , Johnson and Dandhaucr. It devel
oped that the report Introduced by Johnson
was signed by himself , Gratton and Plorson ,
but had never been considered by the com-
mlttcp , on the ground that It was not properly

tained Tukcy , but the other side had the
votes and decided that the report should bo
considered. H was then read , and found to
be a verbose preamble , setting forth the
fact that retrenchment was demanded by
the people and must bo enforced by the
board , followed by a recommendation that
the force of men employed by the sup.erhi ;
tcndent of buildings Go-reduced to three car
penters' two laborers , one tinman and one
tcamater. The report further read that "in
order to relieve the superintendent of build
ings of embarrassment In discharging men , "
Iho committee would name the men and
then proceeded to name the men who should
bo employed by the superintendent until
further orders.
Lowe moved to-refer the document to the
committee on buildings and property , but
the motion was voted down In short order.
Tukey characterized the report as a delib
erate Insult to the superintendent of build
ings , and said the whole thing was n
deliberate scheme surreptitiously concojted
by a few members of the committee In order

Such n course would keep the suporlntcmlcn

Lowe wlcl It would bo a farce to cm

to oversee three or four men and move-

propored to employ the samenumber of me
nil the year , hut the number could bo varle <

DEMANDS A DEFINITE STATEMENT.
Tukey then at'kod that the mittcr of re

said the committee appointed at the las
meeting must go before the city comic ;

for the ensuing year. The board would no

Maud llollnger Is a good looking girl hall-
Ing from Albion. Last evening she arrived at
the police station , an unwilling captive , In
charge of Detective Hudson , and In a hesi
tating manner told her simple story. She
said that she was raised on a farm a short
distance out of Albion , but that a < j she at
tained mature years she longed for the ex
citements of the city.
Tlirco months ago she left her home and
came to Omaha , and In the course of time
secured a position as n domestic In a well
known family. About this time she met a
Imndsomo llttlo soldier with a curly mous
tache and a winning way about him that took
her by storm , and from that moment things
wont wrong with her. She loet her position
and the esteem of the family with It , and
took another place In a. restaurant on North
Sixteenth street. Chief Slgwart received a
letter from Frank noltngor , the father , about
a week ago , begging him to search for his
daughter and arrest her as soon as found.
He stated that she was only 1C years of ago
and not capable of taking care of herself.
The father was wired last night by Chief
Slgwart that Maud was In Jail awaiting his
orders , and a reply Is expected today.

Mny He CliniiKCit.
The clucking and crowing , quacking ant
gobbling and other music which Issued from
the beaks of barnyard fowls will con
tinue for ono more day at th& rooms of the
show of the State Poultry association. This
will bo the la ! > t day of the sbow and It wll
be open until l-ito at night. Tomorrow al
the birds will have gone back to roost upon
their own sticks.
Yesterday was a busy day at the show.
The majority of the premium awards were
made , and the dens were marked with the
blue and red ribbons which made the owners
as happy as If they owned yo many freaks.
The birds themselves partook of the pleasure
for they peaked at the gaily colored ribbons
and then prinked up their plumage with as
much vanity as a milady shows at her toilet
The attendance wag the best of the show.
The morning was stormy and In consequence
visitors were rather scarce , but the lack
was undo up In the afternoon and In the
evening. The doorkeeper was kept busy all
the while , but his face was wreathed with
smiles as he ushered the people among ' his
pets. The visitors consisted largely of 'wo
men and children.
A big crowd Is expected today , the last ol
the nhow. It Is supposed that there will be
many children and women In attendance
especially because the fame of the affair
haa spread. "Sasslety" will bo there , al
though some of the hon ton have already
made the acquaintance of the 400 which are
displaying their fine points. They will bo
entertained eurely by the 2,000 birds , from
the tiny sprlgl.tly bantams and games , the
pigeons and chicks , up to the whoppers In
the turkey , goose , duck and chicken line.
It Is an over-varying sight , for each one ol
the birds Is marked with different hues of
fllver and gold , red , blue and every other
color.
. The Judge ? were busy yesterday In making
the awards. They had a dlfllcult tlmo of It ,
for thcro are so many magnificent epecl-
ments on exhibition and It Is hard to pick
out the ones which merit the prize. All
the awards could not bo obtained for pub
lication last night.
MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The association met In the Board of Trade
rooms last night. It was the annual busi
ness meeting.
There was some dlssatlfactlon expressed
regarding the date of the convention and
show. It was urged that the show occurred
so late In the season , on the third Tuesday
in January , that the breeders were vn < ble
to get their exhibit stock In shape for the
spring. The date of 'the" convention could
not be changed by the association because It
Is fixed by a legislative statute , and It was
urged that the show bo held earlier than the
convention , but this did not meet with fa
vor , as It was feared that members would
not attend both. It was decided to ask the
legislature to change the date. Various days
In December and January were mentioned ,
but a motion was finally passed Instructing
the president to appoint a committee of three
to wait upon the legislature at the next
session to change the date of both the. show
and convention from the third to the first
Tuesday In January. This will permit the
legislature to visit the show whenever It Is
held in Lincoln.
A mot'.on was made to allow the breeders
of the three classes , American , Asiatic and
Mediterranean , to suggest their first and
second choice for Judges for the next show
In their various classes. Heretofore this
matter has been left to the board of direc
tors , but as the board docs not meet for
a month after the convention It has been
unable to get the best Judges , from the .fact
that they have been gcbbled up by other poul
try associations. The mot'.on prevailed.
A five-minute rcsess was allowed for the
breeders of the classes to make their selec
tions. At the end of that time the follow
ing names were handed In as first and second
end choice respectively : American class ,
Theodore Hughes of Trenton , Mo. ; F. W.
Hitchcock of Greenleaf. Asiatic class ,
Sharps Butterfleld al Windsor , Can. ; Thcq-
doro Hughes of Trenton , Mo. Mediter
ranean class , Theodore Hughes of Trenton ,
Mo. ; F. H. Shellabarger of West Liberty , la.
On the call for reports from officers It
was announced that the officers had not ex
peeled to be called upon until they retlret
from office. In consequence the reports wen
deferred.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The next order of business was the elec
tion of officers , and nominations were calle <
for. President Lewelllng was renomlnated
but he declined in a neat speech , in whicl
ho made mention of the fact that he hai
already held the office for four years. Dr
A. Galser of Tecumseh' and W. II. Haven
of Fremont were then placed In nomination
The balloting resulted In the election o
Havens by a vote of 23 to 18.
The remaining officers were unanlmousl ;
elected without opposition. They were : Vic
president , Dr. A. Galser of Tecumseh ; . secretary
rotary , I. L. Lyman of Lincoln ; treasurer , E
E. Qreer of Beatrice.

the board of directors with the office-IB : E
O. Spencer of Lincoln , F. F. Goodson o
Omaiio , Ilcv. J. W. Seybrook of Geneva , E
C. Worden of Auburn , W. A. Irwlr. ol Te
curnseh.
Just before adjourning the following reso
lutlon was unanimously passed :
"Whereas , C. M. Lewelling declines to ac
further as as the president of the Nabrnski
State Poultry association , and
"Whereas , He has faithfully , bonusly ! , ! m
partially and with ability discharged hi
duties as an olPoer for the past four years
and "Whcnvis , Under his management nm

"Whereas , By his efforts It has grown cnor

The Duncan-Lemly nlrietlon contest Is stll
dragging along In Iho county court. The
flurry occasioned by.tha discovery of the
discrepancy In the reoonV In the Third dis
trict of the Second wnrdlhas subsided , and
the cafe has resumed'Its prosaic character
No more startling discoveries have been
made , and Lemly has ; been gradually Increas
ing his majority. At'one tlmo ycstutday
ho had reached the figure with which he
started , seventeen , but he dropped back
again In a short time ito < fifteen , which was
his majority when the count of forty-five
districts had been completed.
At the afternoon session of court fitly-
oavcn districts were completed , Lemly's ma
Jorlty at that time being twenty-three.
Judge Baxter ruled against admitting the
Fourth district of the Third ward and the
Seventh district of the Second ward on ac
count of the condition of the ballots. The
city clerk provides the election board In
each district with a largo paper envelope
In which the ballots , after being eountci
and strung , must bo placed , the envelope
put In the box and the box then pecurely
sealed. In the districts named the ballots
had not been waled In the box as requlrec
and In one district the entire end of this
envelope had been torn off. The Judge rule ,
that this was evidence that the ballots hai
been tampered wllh and refused to allow
these districts to bo counted or considered
Ho gave the contestant the privilege of In
troduclhg evidence to show that the ballot
were placed In the tin box In the condition
In which they were found by the court.

They AVIll AHC Hi it the Appointment
of Unit * lie Ileealleil.
Some of the labor unions of the city have
taken up the matter of appointment ol
Charley Unltt as boiler Inspector , and mem
bers pay lhat he cannot legally qualify for
the office.
The charter provision , by which the case
Is governed. Is as follows : "The boiler Inspector
specter shall he a practical mechanical steam
engineer , or expert boiler maker , and shall
have had for the two years next. preceding
his appointment a certificate , or license as
such , of the highest grade , which shall have
been Issued to him by the United Slatey , or
Jther recognized aulhorlly aulhorlzed to grant
such certificate or license. "
Unltt's supporters do not claim that he
has any such license as the charter pre
scribes , yet they say that that ought not to

Will Not Allow First Ward to Pill Council
Vacancies.
HASCALL AND WHEELER FORCES ACTIVE
Online Another Mcrtlittr nt AVttlch
lre\lotiN Action In Ilexolnileil
lintu Cluilec In Made
AVIint Voting Showed.
At' some time yesterday ono or two of the
republican members of the city council re
pented of the action of the caucus In leaving
the filling of vacancies lit the council to
the voters of the First ward and nt 10
o'clock last evening the dlsiutlsfylng resa-
lutlon was rescinded In caucus.
This caucus was held last night. It was
a surprise to the First warders and the call
to It was a surprise to most of the fourteen
members of the council who attended It ,
It was the work of Cadet Taylor and two
or three others who are the backbone of the
Hascall and Wheeler scheme. They began
sending out messengers to members at 4
o'clock In the afternoon calling them to
the caucus , and Inter hacks were started
traveling to bring In those who had not
before been heard from. H was 10 o'clock
when fourteen members were present In the
commlttpo room designated. They were : Tay
lor , Kennard , Lemly , Prince , Mercer , ' lJen.iv a
Axford , Christie , Saunders , Thomas , Blng-
ham , Allen , Kmcnt and llurmclsler.
The hack which was rattling about In the
southeastern parl"of the city alarmed the
friends of Stunt , Jordan and others , ami
they hung nboul the corridors In the vicinity
of the committee room until the caucus ad
journed , which was at midnight. Hascnll
was thcro a part of the time and Major
Wheeler , too , and neither got far away un
til they learned what tfio caucus did.
The caucus , In the first place , rescinded the
resolution advising the republican voters of
the First ward to recommend by prima
ries men to 1111 the vacancies , and binding
the caucus to ratify In council session the
choice.
Then t'no question of filling the Gordon
vacancy ( the strictly ward vacancy ) came
up , and It was decided to vote on tills first ,
leaving the vacancy In the list of councllmon-
nt-large to bs settled afterward. A number of
ballots wore taken. Ernest Stuht got the
most votes , receiving on one ballot eight , not
enough by ono to insure ratification by the
whole council. Then the caucus tried It on
councllman-at-largc , and Major Wlucler re
ceived eight votes , Just one lesa than the
assuring number.
The plan was then tried of voting for both ,
and Hascall and Wheeler , while staying to
gether , fell at the highest about two below
eight.
The caucus tried It over and over again ,
but the result was the same , and the ground
made for another caucus.
Some of the members say that any com
bination leaving Hascall out will work , but
that Hascall cannot In any case have a. scat
In the council. They say that Stuht , with
[ \lmost any other man from Uie First ward ,
would bo .acceptable , or that almost any
jther man from the First ward and Wheeler
would be acceptable , but that Hascall and
Wheeler or Hascall and any other man can-
lot go In. These members say they belong to
the minority as It appears In the caucus ,
but to the majority as It would appear In
the council when acting on the matter.
The suspicions of the republicans of the
First ward , as described In The Dee last
Dvenlng , are now full grown , and they real
ize that the expression of a choice at a so-
called primary election called for tomorrow
ft culd be futile. They are left pretty much
H sea , though the feeling Is that work with
nicmbcrp ol the council must be done today.
