The Uoaril of Education of the city of
Omaha has commenced suit against Henry
Dolln , late treasurer of the city , and his
sureties on tlio bond given to the board.
The lull Is for $32,553.29.
The petition In the case was filed yesterday
cttcrnoon and the defendants arc Henry
Bolln , as principal , and the following men as
sureties : J. II. drojn , W. W. Manph , 0. W.
Wattleo , W. A. Smith , W. S. Hector. M. T.
Patrick , G crgo B. Barker , J. W. West , J.
H. Krck , Charles L. Von Camp , Frank Swo-
boda , Frank 15. Moorcs , Nels Solroo. W.
Scgdlko and James Steplienson.
The petition elates that llolln was elected
aa city treasurer of the city of Omaha am !
thereby became ex-offlclo treasurer , of the
school board of thin district and was re
quired by law to glvo a bond In twlco the
amount of the sum of money that might be
In his possession at ono time. That In ac
cordance with this provision liolln gave a
bond In tho-rcqulrcd amount with the bondsmen -
men heretofore nam'ed. The provisions of the
bond arc given In full. This bond was ap
proved by the school board January 10 , 1S94
The petition allt-RCS that on July 11. 1895
the discovery was made that llolln had tukei
money Manglng to the school board and
hid converted the same to tils own UEO , the
amount being $10,000. It Is further statet
that Dolln wao removed from his position o !
city treasurer on July 11 , 1805 , and that J.
II. Dumont was legally appointed his BJC-
cersor.
It la also alleged that In a report made to
the school board at the close of business on
July 10 , llolln reported that he ! iad In his
hands as city treasurer and ex-ofTlcIo treas
urer of the school board , money amounting
to $40,212.29 , which bslonged to the wld
school board. That subsequently , upon burn
ing his olllce over to h"s successor , liolln
turned over $30,212.29 as all the school money
In his possession , and It thereby became
known that ho had converted the funds of the
rchool board to his own use. This , It Is
alleged , made llolln and his bondsmen liable
and a demand had been made on the prln-
clpil and sureties for the money , but they one
and all had refused compliance with the de
mand of the school board. Judgment Is
therefore nskcd In the full amount , with In
terest at 7 per cent.
Another cause of action set up In the pe
tition , and cue which will bring other dis
puted qiiEUIons Into court , Is the allegation
that Dolln has retained and refused to turn
over to the school board certain moneys col
lected by him for HCCIISM which have baen
Issued under the name of "permits. " These
Include licenses cr "permits" for druggists ,
gjrbJgs" haulers , hack drivers- . Junk dealers
milk dealers , electrical workers , plumbers
etc. It Is also alleged that he has retained
and refused to turn over fees collected for
licenses. The total amount claimed on ac
count of licenses and "permits" is $9,354.33.
Still another question which has bjcn a
bone of contention Is made a part of the
suit , viz. : The matter oC the Interest re
ceived by the treasurer for school funds.
The board claims that Dolln has received
no Interest on school funds and has refused
to turn over to the board or his successor the
.sum of $13,198.9G. Judgment Is asked for
this amount also , with Interest .at 7 per
cent from July 10.
It Is further .alleged that the- Board of
Education has been damaged by tlio mal
feasance and misfeasance of Dolln to the
extent ' of $35.000 , and judgment la
asked against Dolln and his bondsmen In the
aggregate'sum of $32,553.29.
No demand has yet been made on Henry
Dolln for the money due- the city and whlcl
he failed to turn over when ho resigned hlo
oQlco as city treasurer. A rcjolutlon va ;
parsed at a recent meeting of the city r "i- "
cll , directing the city treasurer to make ucl
a. demand , but Treasurer Edwards fays he
IB waiting at the request of City Attorney
Connell and Mr. Connell says ho Is waiting
to obtain some additional Information from
the experts.

Council ANkiMl to He pair Streets.
During the past two years the Board of
Public ! Works has accepted twenty-six
streets on which' the five-year guarantee of
the Darber Asphalt Paving company has ex
pired. These streets have been paved since
the repair contract with the Darber com
pany was entered Into In March , 1889. Con
sequently the board takes the position that
they are not Included In the repair con
tract and has asked -'the city 'council to
make provision for the repair of these
( treots. The streets Indicated Include 142-
226 square yards of paving. The paving of
these streets cost , originally $395,253,20 ,
and , at the price that Is paid for annual repairs
pairs under the Darber contract , the. cost
of keeping them In good condition would be
about $12,000. _ _

found a slack of papers staked In kerosene' '
surrounding a burning candle and ly ng on
an oil-soaked floor. Testimony was also
given to the effect that the majority of the
shoo boxes In the store were empty.
A mctlor. to dismiss was overrult.l and
then the defense began Its side of the case

uary 19 , the night of the fire , hs ! wife and
children left the store for Saengorbund hall ,

u-Nilay A. Ilonpe i.t
Mmlc Chairman. ,
To furthsr the project started a week ago
of organizing the retail dealers of the city
for the promotion of their common Interests
another meeting was held at the Commercial
club rooms yesterday afternoon ,
The plan , at first decided ori , of organ
izing under the Commercial club , developing
the retail bureau , was abandoned , the re
tailers preferring to act exclusively for and
by themselves.
It was decided to name the association the
Retailers' club. Thirty-three signed the
membership roll , A. Hoppe was chosen chair
man by acclamation and C. D. Thompson
made temporary secretary. This Is as far as
the work of organization was carried yester
day. A permanent secretary was not se
lected because It Is the expectation that this
officer will have a grtat dcnl of Important
work to do , and It was thought bcrt to con
sider the matter carefully and after n more
complete organization was effected.
To push the scheme along n meeting with
a supper feature will be hold next .Wednes
day evening at C:30. : Messrs. Hardy , Cahn
and Paffenrath were made a committee-
arrange for the supper. An attendance of
nt least 100 Is counted ofl.
From the sentiments expressed nt yester-
day'a meeting It Is evident that an enthusi
astic Interest Is already being taken In the
movement , and It Is confidently predicted
that the Retailers' club will soon In member-
shop and achievements beconio an equal and
consonant factor with the Commercial club
In developing the buslnet < ] Interests of
Omaha by promoting ths Interests of the
retail trade. Messrs. A\Mlcox , Hospe and
Paffcmath were holrtlly cheered when they
cild that at length the tlmo was come when
the calamity howler , croaker and moasback
must be rehgated to th : re.ir , and that live
business mt'n ' with nn energy that Is the
meatiure of their hopefulness must work to
gether for the object proposed.
SALVATIONISTS ItlOCIlt'ITINC. '
A oluiituor.s Are IIoi iil for from TlilH
The Salvation army held n rousing meet-
lug In the barracks on Davenport street last
night. It wns the first ons of a series which
are to be hsld for the purpose of obtaining
a portion of the 1,000 volunteers called for
by Commander Balllngton Booth , who are
to devote their entire tlmo'to mission service
In the United States. The building was
crowded , almost every pew being occupied
by as many as It would hold.
The services were chiefly of song and
were under the direction ef Stair Captain and
Mrs. John W. Cousins. They comprised solos
by the two leaders and n large selection of
Salvation army eongs , which were sung with
great enthusiasm by the members of the
army , the congregation occasionally joining
In. Captain Cousins also made fom& brief
remarks on the call that had been Issued
by the commander.
Ho said that there were many members
in the army who were In a position to respond
spend , but who did not do soon account of
worldly considerations. They thought It too
much of a sacrifice to give up good positions
or leave behind Interests or relatives for the
purpose for which they wore wanted. He
urged all s > uch to make' the sacrifice , as by
so doing they were only following out the
duty which their profession ot religion re
quired.
There will be Another public meeting of
the same nature' 'tonight , and another next
Saturday night. Next Sunday afternoon the
letter from Commander Booth , In which ho
calls .for 1,001 volunteers as officers , for mls-
Elon work , will be read , as In all other Sal
vation meetings In the United States. By
such meetings as these Captain Cousins
hopes to obtain at least twenty-five volun
teers from the district which be commands.
The candidates for this mission service
must be between 17 and 30 years of age.
They must be out of debt and present a
phyniclan's certificate "that they are In sound
bodily condition. Divorced persons are
s-trictly prohibited from enlistment , but no
distinction ly made between iliarrled and
single .candidates. If they are married , how
ever , both must enlist. The recruits will go
to the training school at St. Louis for three
months' drilling , oftcr which they will bo
tubjcct to the orders of the headquarters
olllcers. .

mill Opposi- Salary Cut.
The announcement printed exclusively'In
The Bso Tuesday to , the effect that the
Board of County Commissioners would make
a radical reduction In county expenses by
cutting at least 10 er cent , on all salaries
over $75 , and discharging seve'ral clerks , has
created a veritablelempest In'a teapot. The
commlsslonera have been buttonholed on the
street -by cilla iiH and taxpayers anil com
plimented fo'r taking decisive action In a
matter so generally demanded. On the other
hand they have been buttonholed by the
clerks In the building and their friends and
told that a reduction in the number of clerks
would result In political disaster to the man
who supported It. 'Tho ' clerics ; , who will bo
affected by the plan have been bringing pres-
uure to bear on commissioners to defeat
the plan announced. They have numerous
suggestions to offer as to how a reduction
may be accomplished without touching sala
ries , and each particular clerk Is now the
most essential man In his office.
The commlesloners themselves enjoyed , a
llttlo ret-to when tTicy oBscmble'd yester
day as a committee of the whole to com
plete the plan of retrenchment. Each of the
commissioners accused the others of di
vulging the proceedings of the board , and
ono or two of the more Impulsive oneo urged
that they follow the example of the national
pcnale ami hold an Investigation to find who
had ben telling tales out of school. The
Dee representative was closely questioned as
to the toiirco of his Information , the accu
racy of which was not disputed , and the Idea
of holding an Investigation was ecrlously dis
cussed. ' Wiser counsel prevailed , however ,
and then all the members of the board took
a holcmn oath never to reveal to 'any one
what transpired In the board room with
reference to the- plan under consideration.
This promise was exacted only from mem
bers of the board and the real sourcs of
The Bee's information was not Included , so

leal ills which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
tlio knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
easu , but simply to a'con.stinated condi
tion of the system , which the pleasant
family laxative , Syrup of Figs , prompt
ly removes. That is why It is the only
rcrncdy with millions of families , and is
everywhere esteemed f > o highly by all
who value peed health. Its beneficial
effects uro due to the fact , that It is the
ono remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness , without debilitating the
organs on which It acts. It is therefore
all Important , in order to get 'its bene
ficial effects , to note whun you pur
chase , that you have the genuine article ,
which is manufactured by the California
VlB Syrup Co. only , and sold by nil reputable -
utablo druggists ,
If in the enjoyment of good health ,
and the system is regular , then laxa
tives or other'remedies are not needed.
If aflliutcd with any actual disease , ono
may bo commended to the moht bkillful
physicians , but if in need of a laxative ,
then ono should have the best , and with
the well-informed every where , Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and elves most general satisfaction.
