8 THE OMAIIA DAILY BETS ; BIToSTDAT * JTEHRUAPY 10 , 1800. : J FIGHTING VICE IIOPEFOLH Mrs. Ohftnt Talks About the Ornsad Against Immorality. MAY LECTURE BEFORE LEAVING OMAH Wliloli She linn Fonnit li America tlint She Iilkcii Liken Hie WOIIIIIM'H Club Mrs. Ormlston Clmnt , the noted Englls /oformcr , arrived In Omaha yesterday accompanied by her private secretary , Fran' 5. Johnson. They were at once driven t the homo of A. 1) . Smith , assistant genera passenger agent of ttib Ilurllngton road , a 2514 Capitol avenue , where they will b entertained during their short stay In thl city. It li a happy coincidence that bring Mrs. Chant and Edward Everett Hale , tw lecders In the same line of work of dtlTorcA continents , together within the tame horn whllo they arc hero. Mrs. Chant Is a short , well proper ttoncd woman. The ruddy glow am splendid physique so characteristic of English vtincn ore not wanting. H Is no surprls that she ilocs not in the least rcaemblo th pictures of her that have nppeareJ In th eastern newspapers. In speaking of thes bo laughed and said that she had Jus mailed a collection of them to her husband telling him to note how she had changei since she had been In this country. Mrs Chant has n kindly face. Her cxprcssloi when speaking of something In which sh Is Interested Is a study In Itself , and 1 nulling If not fascinating. During the morning she was waited upor by delegations from the Women's club and from one of the leading churches. She ha not definitely decided whether to accept the Invitations thai have been extended to he and address the people of Omaha at thl time , or whether to continue on her way to Denver and Colorado Springs , and speak her on her return the latter part of next week. BUSY TIME IN AMERICA. Mrs. Chant arrived In America on Octobc 6 , 1S95 , and since that tlmo has dcllvcm no less than 144 lectures and sermons "America Through the Eyes of an Engllsl Woman , " "The Woman In Politics , " and "Tho Music Hall , " ore among the lectures that have been best received. Mrs. Chan Is undenominational In her religion and has preached In churches of many denomlna lions during her visit here. Her tlmo 1 England Is largely occup'ed ' In traveling abou the country , preaching and lecturing. Las year she received so many requests to preach that It would have been necessary to triple the number of Sabbaths In order to accept them all. Mrs. Chant said that the crusade agalns vlco and intemperance In Great Britain was not unltko that waged In thlsi country. "It Is a noteworthy fact that at the same tlmo the reformers of New York won their grea battle against Tammany , we , on the other side , were successful In our fight ngalns the low grade music halls. It Is true there have been temporary defeats sustained In both countries since then , but they are llko the recession ot the waves , which recede only to gather greater force. Yes , the world Is growing better and the prospect for success In the worlc of reform Is bright Still , we should always remember that it Is eternal vigilance which Is the price of liberty. " "Would you suppress the music hall alto gether , Mrs. Chant ? " "Oh , no ; by no means. I am fond of amuse ment. If \\orklngman or woman wants light form ot amusement , well and g"i. I should bo the last to pains/ their right to bavo their desire"-Jor It gratified. I would exclude all > y-m of liquor , however , from btich theaters. "My claim on the question of selling liquor In concert halls and theaters is that the traffic 'lowers the tolie ol the place. The claim Is not new. Macready found It out In 1834 , and ho discovered at that time that by discontinuing the sale of drink in his theater ho could obtain patronage for a higher class of plays than those * which plcawd his audience dience- under the old regime. Songs are tolerated erated in concert halls and theaters In Lon don , and , I suppose , in this country , for thai matter , where drink Is sold , which would be most unpleaslng were the audience not be sotted and muddled by the fumes ot the liquor. Not all amusement halls where liquor Is sold are disreputable , but that the liquor lowera the tone of any such place Is undoubted. " SOME CLEAN VAIUETY THEATERS. "How does the variety theater of America compare In tone with the music halls o England ? " "I should not llko to make comparisons without being sure of all the facts in the mat ter. Ono ought to bo on expert to answer that question correctly. I will say , however that I have found variety theaters In Amoric : that ara most clean and wholesome. I re member one in Boston quite distinctly. The form of entertainment was splendid. It was perfectly free from anything that was sug gestive and there the ballet was tabooed. I willingly left my 16-year-old daughter In there one afternoon to escape from a heavy rain outside. There Is not a theater In Eng land where I should have dared to do such a thing. I huvo heard that there are low grade amusements here , too , but I'm con vinced that there can bo such a thing as a cleanly variety theater , and I'm glad you huvo ro many of their. , "The crusodo against vlco Is not now. The only new element In It Is woman. Where Bho could not have taken a hand in the work of reform years ago she la most energetic In that direction today. I think these clubs ol wr women that you have In America are grand r institutions. I bcllevo they are the means for accomplishing great good. As for the women's clubs , I think the United States Is ahead of England. In practical poll- tics , however , the Englishwoman has proceeded further. Wo have our di visions of 'women Into parties , and party lines ore drawn just as tightly as nmone the male voters. The woman have the right of suffrage , except In parliamentary elections. The American woman Is advanc ing In this matter , and I'm glad to know that in several of your states they have the right to vote. Political life must be shared equally by the members ot both sexes If wo would secure It's best results. " T5o exclusion of one BOX from participating In the affairs ot government Is a dreadful detriment to all. The town life Is simply an expansion of homo life. What would a home bo without a woman ? Her power tor good Is Just as potent In the life of a municipality as in that ot a home. " B 1-1.1 1' .

CHICAGO INVENTS A NEW IIIIII.E , Itci IHIM ! VerMliin for UNIIn the Public City SehoolM. CHICAGO , Feb. 15. The new bible pre pared for the use of public schools has been completed. It will now be submitted to the Board of Education , which will pass Judgment itcon it. Tha aim of those who compiled the book was to prepare a work that would be un- jbjectlonablo to any religious denomination. It has now been twenty-two years since the Hoard of Education discontinued the reading } f the bible In the public schools of Chicago , Up to 1874 it was a regularly prescribed July of the teachers to read a portion of the sacred volume to their scholars every day. By some this exercise was relished and ap proved , but to others it was exceedingly distasteful. The opposition to It grew and ifter a long and stubbornly contested bat tle the bible was evicted from the public schools. A fo\v , years ago a movement was aegun to reinstate the bible. The book .vhlcli has Just been completed Is the out- ; rowth of a suggestion made by Prof. David Swing , that a committed consisting of mem- > ers of the Protestant , Catholic , Jewish and ither denominations compile a book for the ise of the school children made up of selec- lens from the bible. At the beginning It was decided that the rerslon recognized In courts by English law vhen appeals to the blblo are made should > 3 the one from which the selections should 10 taken , as the school Is established pre eminently for the state. For the con- renlence ot the children and better to faclll- ate the work the book Is gradpd In Its ar- angemcnt. Those selections appealing first in Its pages are adapted to tba needs of the ntellectual standards of the lower grades if the grammar school , the latter part of the look being better suited for moro mature nlnds. Quotations are also given In the book o ohow that men differing widely In re- Iglous belief , ranging from Prof. Huxley to ho pope , have endorsed Just such a scheme 3 this that has just been carried out , The ommlttee that prepared the blblo , after ; lvlng the leaders of the Woman's Educa- tonal union due credit for the part which hey took In preparing the book for the lubltc , explains that the fruit ot their lr.bor nay bo truly said to belong not merely to he Educational union , but to the whole city f Chicago , whose representatives made It , nd , Indeed , to the whole world , for pro- lously different churches In all parts ot ho union participated In Its compilation. , V11HCKJ : TIIHK11'ULLMAN OAHS. 2xi > Io lim of nnnollne Serlonily IH- jiircn Tlireo Female Umiilnyex.

There are likely to bo some vigorous ob jections to the passage of the appropriation ordinance by the city , council next Tuesday night. It la said that unless the total Is reduced by about $70,000 , which represents bills of corporations , there will certainly be n fight against Its passage. Among the Items contained In the ordinance Is the bill of the American Water Works company for the last six months of 1S95 , amounting to about $43,000. The entire amount now available In the water rent fund is $15,840.70. Warrants aggregating $12,828.02 are outstanding agalntjt this amount , leaving a balance- only $3,012.05. The lighting fund Is In still worse condi tion. Here there Is an available balance- $ U,5GG.95. Warrants amounting to $18,803.10 are outstanding , thus showing a deficit of $7,236.15. The ordinance under considera tion contains three Items against this fund which aggregate about $20,000. These In clude bills as follows : Thomson-Houston company , $12,500 ; Sun Vapor Street Lighting company , $7,500 , and Omaha Gas Manufac turing company , $5,500. As the funds are practically exhausted , the passage of the ordinance containing these bills would be to effect an issuance of war rants In the necessary amounts , which would add Just to much to the outstanding obliga tions on which the- city Is paying 7 per cant Interest. There are several members of the council who declare that the city now has about all the notes outstanding that are de- slrabls. They say that the corporations In whose favor these bills are drawn have re ceived valuable franchises from the city for which they have never paid a dollar. More than that the taxes assessed against their property have be < m merely nominal , and not In comparison to thosa paid by other property owners. Therefore they contend that It Is tlmo that these corporations bore a part of the burden by holding- their bills until the city Is better able to pay them. It Is represented Jthai the. , b'U pro dr.w ' asast ! taxes \vhich have not been' collected because the people were not able to pay them. They have become delinquent and the property owners are paying 12 per cent In terest on them. As soon as the warrants are Issued , they are compelled to pay 7 per cent additional to the holders. Thus they must practically pay 19 per cent on their unpaid taxes. The members who are not In favor of allowing- the bills at this time argue that the corporations can .well afford to bear a 'small-proportion of this -burden and they will consequently endeavor to have the items stricken out of the ordinance. HASCALL'S DEPOT IIESOI.UT1OX. Sonic People Relieve that There IH n String Attncheil. There has been a good deal of inquiry from property owners In regard to the Intent o the resolution which was introduced by Councilman Hascall relative to the union depot matter. The resolution contained a clause which bound the council to take any action that might bo advisable to assist In the undertaking , this specifying nothing , bu Including anything that might bo sprung a a subsequent time. It Is the general understanding that the eventual purport of the resolution will be to serve as a basis for councilmanlc action b ; which the Interest of the city In the grouni now occupied by the Mason street site am known as the "Saunders tract" may be transferred to the Union Pacific Rallroac company. When the agreement was drawn up by which the depot was to be erected at XIason street It was agreed that a quit claim deed to this property should be given to the railroad company. As nn offset It was pro vided that the railroad company should give the city a quit claim deed to other tracts o property over which there was a conflict as to the title. The Union Pacific people now argue that If they relinquish the Mason street site anc go Into the prospective depot nt the foot ol Farnam street tnay should not bo compelled to relinquish any of the rights which they sbtnlned under the former agreement. Con sequently they want their quit claim deed to the Saunders tract Jurt the same. City Attorney Connell says that It woulil bo perfectly proper , In his opinion , for the city to enter Into a similar agreement as Daon as the Farnam street depot Is assured. The city could Just as well afford to grant the concession for a depot at Farnam street is for the one which was begun at Mason street. "The only point to bo maintained , " jays the city attorney , "Is that the con cessions made by the railroad company to the : lty In the former contract should bo In cluded In the new one. Any effort to give : ho railroad a clear titleto the- Saunders ract without any return In the way of slml- dr concessions as to the property claimed by ; ho city would be unjurt to the city.

Sheriff William U Tubbs of Mills county , lown , was In Omaha yesterday after three mcr who were arrested early In the morning and were booked at the police station as fugitives from Justice. The names of the prisoners are Grant Lsng , H. H. Noland and William Petty and they arc members of a gang that has been Infesting Mills county for some time. Two ot the men , Noland and Long , ore wat ted for the burglary of hencoops and Sheriff Tubbg says that ho has several cases and one particularly good ono against them. Two other men , who are supposed lo consti tute the remainder of the gang , Charles Burns and Sam Cozlrah , are In Jail at Glen- wood. These men furnished the tip which brought cbout the arrest of Long and Noland. Sheriff Tubbs says that for some weeks the country In neighborhood of Glcnwood has been devastated of chickens. There are not half a dozen farmers In the vicinity who lave not had their hencoops visited and It Is estimated that fully 1,000 fowls have been stolen. Although suspicion rested upon the men under arrest , no proof was produced In dicating that they were the guilty parties , owing to the fact that the farmers were un- nblo to Identify the property stolen. There Is , however , not far from Glenwood a lung-headed Yankee farmer who marked his chickens by cutting off the outer toe on o.'ch foot. Several days ago his coop was visited and a number of his fowls stolen. He reported the fact and It was decided to vldt the headquarters of the suspected parties , In the hope that some of the marked property might be found. A search warrant v/as Issued for the premises of Cozlrah , n farmer residing near Glenwood. The visit more than satisfied the searching parties. A cave was discovered on Coz'rah's farm , In which a great c.uanlty of heads and feet of chickens were found. Among them were n number of feet bearing the Yankee farmer's copyright. There were also a number ot bags * ot chicken feathers found In the cave. Sheriff Tubbs estimates that there were six or seven bushels of thmn. On the strength of this evidence , Burns and Cozlrah , were arrested. They acknowledged that they were chicken thieves. It was learned fiom them that the members of the party were out almost every night , devastating chicken coops , and that In this way they managed to make from $4 to$12 a night each from the operations. They also stated that Noland and Long were In Omaha , but would return Saturday night. It was stated that the Intention was to make a final raid Saturday night and after disposing of the stolen property , skip for other parts. Sheriff Tubbs lost no tlmo In acting on the Information , as he feared that Noland and Long might get n tip. At 8 o'clock Friday night ho caused warrants to be Issued for their arrest , and hitching up a horse , he rode to Council Bluffs. Ho arrived early in the mcrnlng , and came to this city on the first car. Ho had learned t' ' t the * 7.-s vq " a-icil were -at tua losldence of the Pettys , at Forty-ninth and Cumlng streets , and ho went out to that place at once with Officer Storey. Entrance Into the house was easily effected , and although Long tried to give the officers the slip , both he and Noland were arrested. More than that , William Petty , who Is wanted In Iowa on the charge of counter- felting , was found on the premises. He also was placed under arrest and taken to the police station. During the few weeks Just past' Mills' county has been flooded with counterfeit nickels , half-dollars and dollars. The coins are bad Imitations , but they have been taken by the farmers In considerable numbers. No Intimation was given cf the counterfeiter ! ? until saveral days ago , when a friend of Petty gave the snap away to Sheriff Tubbs. Petty had a falling out with a pal and the latter determined to square himself with the authorities while ho had a chance. The pal visited the sheriff and showed him a letter from Petty. In this Petty agreed to furnish him with $200 worth of counterfeit coin for $20. The man Is now beting held In Glen- wood as a witness , and will bo turned over to the federal authorities. It Is understood that Petty ban been castIng - Ing the coins at some place that is yet un known. After striking them off ho always destroyed the molds In order to remove nil traces of the countprfeltlng , and made new .molds when more co'ns were wanted. The counterfeits were not gocd enough to be ac cepted in a city , ami consequently only the rural districts were worked. Long and Noland have refused to go to Iowa without requisition papers , and they will bo held here until they are obtained. Noland Is well known to the police. He has boon arrested for burglary here. Petty Is also well known and Is eald to be an old counterfeiter. Ho was released only a short time ago from the Sioux Falls pcnltcnt'ary , where ho served a year for counterfeiting. Both the men have been members of the fio-called North Omaha gang. Petty will bo turned over to the federal authorities at Council Bluffs. Antl-Toxliic at Havre.

The county commissioners held the regular weekly meeting yesterday , tram acting a small amount ot routine buslnes and proceeding In a very humdrum trmnnei The most exciting occurrence during th meeting was a statement by Williams tha the entire northwestern part of the city o Omaha Is covered with the Russian thlstt and that no action whatever has. been take : by the city authorities toward extermlnitln the pest. He ventured the prophesy tha within a short tlmo the residents ot th whole city \\ould have their dockyards covcrei with the weed which has acquired sue' ' notoriety that the national government hit declared war against It and the state o Nebraska has enacted laws tor Us extcrmlna tlon. tlon.The The matter c.11110 up In the form of a re port of the committee on roads , on th bills of two road supervisors who clalmc $ S each for Inspection pcrlymcd under th provisions of the law enacted by the las legislature. The committee recommended th payment ot the bills , but Stcnborg objccte < on ths ground that the bills were not specific In that they did not show whether the In spcctora found any thistle ? , or what had beci done with them , If any were found. Th law provides for Inspections on the first da ; of July , August , September and October , nni the road supervisors are required to go xipoi private lands and require the removal of al thistles , and to hlro sufllclcnt force to do th work , If It Is not done by the owner of th < land within a given time. The county clerk was Instructed to notlf ; supervisors to make complete reports , a contemplated by the law. Ex-Sheriff Drexoll submitted a report In accordance cordanco with the Instructions of the com mlssloncrs , showing the amount of fees col lected by him , as master commissioner during his term , per diem , and fees for taking prls oners to Lincoln , and same 'ir trlns to Iowa the total amount being $327. Accompanylni the report was a communication , calling at tontlon to the fact that It had not been UK practice of Drexel's predecessors to turn such fees over to the county , or to make reports of the same. He also stated that ho bad kept no record of the service of forclgr papers , as no such report had been made by his predecessors , or by any sheriff In the state. The ex-sheriff also reported that ho had collected fees amounting to $125.35 during the time between January 9 and February 9 , this year. Both reports were referred to the finance committee after Williams and StenbcrR had expressed opinions that these fees all be longed to the state. The bond of Charles W. King as constable of West Omaha precinct , with Ncls Seleroc and John S. Mullen ns sureties , was referred back to the Judiciary committee for the reason that the bond was deemed Insufficient , Stcnbcrg re marking that there had been moro suits on constables' bonds than on all others and the board should see to It that they were good and sufficient. On application from the county attorney the salary of the stenographer In his office was Increased $5 per month In order to make It the same as. . that of all the other stenog raphers In the county offices. The Western Passenger association noti fied the board that In accordance with the action taken at a recent meeting , charity rates would be discontinued and that In future all charity cases would be charged rull rates Instead of going at halt rates an icretofore. Albyn Frank , clerk of the district court , notified the board that ho had dlspensed-wlth the services of W. G. Templeton ns deputy clerk. The Mount Hope Cemetery association pe titioned the board to grade Military road from the end of the pavement , stating that the association desired to make certain Im provements which could not bo made until the roadi waa graded. The county clerk was Instructed to secure the signatures of property owners on South Thirteenth street to a waiver of damages by reason ot the grading ot that thoroughfare. People IMeil to Say.
