The Board of Education departed from Its
recent humdrum tactics laet night and for
a brief period there was more sensational
legislation on tap than had previously broke
loops this year. H was all along the line of
retrenchment , and It all the resolutions that
wore eubmlttcd had been adopted there would
have been a vortloblo massacre of the al-
arlea of the employe ) . But the danger
proved to be remote and all the multitudinous
and conflicting motions and resolutions were
eventually killed off In their order.
Oration rtartcd the confurlon toward the
cloo of the sc alon by offering a resolution
which provided for a reduction ot about 2i !
per cent In the salaries of the janitors. A
motion to refer the resolution to a com
mittee was voted down , Then Plerson en
livened the situation by offering as a sub
stitute a motion that the nlarlca of all em
ployes be cut as follows : Those receiving
from $400 to $700 a year , 5 per cent ! $700
to $1,200 , 10 per cent ; more than $1,200 , 15
per cent.
This brought half a dozen members to their
feet nnd points of order , motions and amend
ments followed each other with confusing
rapidity. Finally Pleroon's substitute was
lost by 8 to 7 and the resolution was laid
on the table by a similar vote. Then Tukey
offered n resolution which provided that In
asmuch as the constant agitation ot the ques
tion of a reduction of salaries waa working
to the detriment of tlic schools. It be de
H v clared the pence of the board that no further
reduction ! ) should bo made this year , but
economy should be effected by consolidation
nnd the dismissal of the in ro Inefficient
teachers. ' This was alro laid on the table.
Tukcy was not discouraged , but followed It
up with another resolution , by which the
secretary was Instructed to advertise for
bids for Janitor service at the various eclrol
liouw ? . This alee went en the table by
the same stereotyped vote , end the meeting
adjourned with all members In decidedly bad
humor.
Earlier in the session the resignation of
Prof. Homer P , Lewis , principal of the High
school , to take effect March 19 , was sub
mitted and referred to the High school com
I mittee , on whom ; recommendation It was
accepted. In this connection the following
resolutions were olfered by Tukey and unan
imously adopted :
Whereas. In the resignation of Prof. Ho
mer P. Lev.Is , for thirteen years principal
of the Omaha High school , the public
Bchools of the city lose nn educator of
nmrkcd ability nnd of more than national
reputntlnn , nnd every boy nml girl of the
High school will look upon his departulo
as n personal loss of a true friend nnd
most estimable gentleman.
Ilcsolved , That this Board of Education
deeply < deplores the resignation ot Prof.
Lewis ana. regrets e.vreeiMngly that our
schools will lose his timely mlvlce , his chir-
Jtnble criticisms , his wise counsel ana his
ripe judgment , eo judiciously exercised In
the conduct of all school mutters.
lU-salveil , That wo extend to Prof. Lewis
nnd his most nceomplls'ie.l wife our sincere
congratulations , and tcndor our best wishes
for their continued prosperity nnJ success.
Resolved , That we congratulate the citi
zens of Worcester , Mnss. , on securing a
man EO thorouphly well qualified for the
position he Is to occupy , and wo assure
them thnt Prof. Lewis will bo equal to
the emergency under any and all 'circum
stance" .
Uesolvcd , That these resolutions ho spread
on the records of the bo.ird 'fond that a
copy bo forwarded to Pjof. L wls ; after
each member of the board , together'wlth
the superintendent of Instruction , has huil
nn opportunity of signing the same.
PfiOF. LEVISTON PROMOTED.
Prof. Irwln Levlston was then elected
principal for the balance of the year. The
committee's recommendation was that he be
appointed "principal In charge , " but It was
urged that an election would show the confi
dence of the board In Prof. Levltton and put
him In a better pos'tlon ' before the school.
This view prevailed and the election fol
lowed. The salary was fixed at $2,250 per
year.
year.A
A recommeridatlon from Superintendent
Banker that screen fences be constructed
to protect the sod on the graunda at var
ious schools at a cost of $230" was referred.
The February report oC the city treasurer
showed a balance In the fund of $40,777.50.
Warrants aggregating $45,880.91 were paid
during the monthr No Interest-drawing
warrants nro now outstanding against the
school fund.
Attorney Covell reported that Frank E.
Mooreu had refused to turn over the amount
of the fine levied on Michael Wallenz for
violating the liquor law. This was at the
Instance of the county attorney , who con
tended that the money properly belonged
to the county. Attorney Covell stated that
he was Inclined to , believe that the law was
with the county attorney and the board
voted to acqulcse In his opinion.
The first batch of applications for the use
of school rooms for cummer schools was
received and referred ,
Mrs. Mary Sanford was- granted a leave
of absence for the remainder of the year.
/ The application of B. i C. Burt for the
position of principal of the High ozliool was
referred to the committee on teachers aild
examinations. >
The Women's Christian Temperance union
was given permission to occupy a room
In the basement of the High school build
ing for the purpose of serving lunches to
pupils.
A long vexed question was settled by the
adoption of a resolution , by which
$500 was appropriated to pay for
the heating plant at the Long
school. This bill has been the subject of
numerous debates , In which payment of the
bill wag postponed an tbo plea that the
finances were not satisfactory.
On motion ot Cramblett an Instructor was
ordered employed for the High school drum
corps at an expense of $20.
On recommendation of the committee on
High school the teaching force was reduced
from thlrly-twp to twenty-seven teachers , to
take effect at the beginning of the next school
year.
year.TEN MONTHS FOU IlIGII SCHOOL.
The committee report , which was laid
over at a prevloun meeting , recommending
that the High school year bo extended to
ten months , was adopted ,
Tlio question of closing the kindergartens
and the first and second grades during one-
half of each day canto up In a favorable re
port from the rommltteo on teachers and ex
aminations. The city council received a
scoring In the report on account ot Its al
leged failure to furnish the funds necessary
to properly run the schools ,
Joljnson declared that It was unfair to
discriminate against the pupils of any par
ticular grade. Ho had Just as much right
to a lull day's school for his children , who
were In the second grade , as his neigh
bor hnd for hln , who were In the third grade ,
IMiuirda thqught that the child's first years
ot school were the most Important , and that
It was proposed to cut off on the wrong
end of the curriculum ,
Lunt said he had heard a seed many
measure : , of economy discussed , and In
every case llii'y were at the expense of the
children. Ho was getting tired ot this , and
dcclaied that It the report was adopted he
would bring In a resolution to cut the salary
of every employe of the board.
Tukey stated that a large part of the work
In these grades was nature worU and similar
extra * which the children would still have
an opportunity to learn when.they got Into
the higher grades , He referred to the finan
cial condition ol the board as making bome
radical economy Imperative. The proposed
action meant a savingof $25,000 , and H was
at once the moit sensible and effective meas
ure ot economy that had been proposed ,
Superintendent Pcarse explained that the
proposed plan would give the children two
and a halt hours of school Instead ot three
and a half hours. They wpuld get the same
Instruction i.i the essential branches , but
come ot tbo special work would ba dropped.
Ho thought the effect would be dltastroui It
It was continued for any number ot years ,
but , the Injury might not bo eerloua If the
plan wai adopted for a single year.
After some furtlitr .discussion , the report

SEEK REFORM IN TAXATION

FAIR VALUATIONS WILL BE INSISTED ON

At the meeting ot the assessors of the
county , which will bo held at the rooms o
the county commissioners In the court house
at 10 o'clock this morning , the mem
bers of the Hoard of County Commissioners
will bo present , as will also the members
of the special committee on taxation ap
pointed by the city council a few weeks ago
consisting of Councllmen Kcnnard , Taylor
Kmenl and llurklcy.
Councilman Kcnnard was at the couri
house yesterday conferring with the
county commissioners regarding this niu'
other matters. In a conversation , Mr. Ken-
nard stated that ho had been making an
ln\estimation Into the tax question during the
past month and had discovered a great many
points which ought to be considered by the
assessors.
"I can't eay that I have discovered any
thing that is particularly new , " said Mr
Kennard , "but I have learned enough to
satisfy mo that the difficulties which now beset
us would bo almost entirely removed It the as
sessors would mako-a just and equitable re
turn. Every one knows that realty values arc
not equitably distributed. I3ut few people real
ize the outrageous manner In which personal
taxes are levied against the small house
holder , while the owners of luxurious 'houso '
furnishings and the- largo corporations prac
tically escape all'taxation.
"Take some of the large corporations , for
Instance. They arc stocked and bonded for
nctody knows how many millions and they
make n return for taxation of a few paltry
thousands. There Is the water works com
pany as a fair Illustration of how this
scheme Is worked. I learn , from what I re
gard as very good authority , that the Ameri
can Water Works company Is stocked and
bended for $10,000,000 , and I know that It
.receives from the city of Omaha each year
hydrant rental amountln'g to $85,000 , to say
nothing of the enormous Income It receives
from private consumers In this county , and
yet It appears on the tax roll at the valua
tion of $63,350. . ,
"Take the national banks as another Illus
tration. Thcso banks have an understanding
among themselves nnd I am Informed by
competent authority that they refuse to
make any return for taxation until It Is
agreed by the county commissioners that the
return of moneys , credl's , etc. , made by
coch bank shall be divided by six and the
rcFult of this process entered as the amount
on which the bank Is to pay taxes. Why
the figure six Is selected as the divisor no
one seems to know.
"As chairman of the committee appointed
by the city council to take up this ques
tion of taxation , " continued Mr. Kennard ,
"I sent to Herman Kountze an Invitation
for his committee of reform advocates to
meet with our committee to consult to
gether for the purpose of devising some
means of 'reform' In the tax rolls. This In
vitation was sent about three weeks ago ,
but I have heard nothing from Mr. Kountzc
or any other of his committee.
"Our committee will bs present al the
meeting of the assessors tomorrow , and we
nlll endeavor to present a few facts In a
way that will make some impression on the
minds of the assessors , but I suppose the
tax shirkers will use on argument that will
have a great deal more weight when the
assessors come around with tbelr blanks. "
GIiAIlYS HUSH KEEPS HER IHIOMISC.
StnrtH III to AboIlHli I lie Mnex of the
liurnt UlMtrlct.
Gladys Bush , the woman of the town who
has been arrested so many times of late ,
has set about the work of fulfilling her
promise that she would make It warm for
some one In' case that she was convicted.
She was convicted last Saturday , and she
Jias sworn to Informations charging fourteen
landladies In the burnt district with' being
keepers of houses of 111 fame , The parties
charged are : Nellie King , Minnie Falr-
chllds. Olive Branch , Jeanette Allen , Sadie
Jennings , Sadie Rush , Jettle Reynolds , May
Coleman , Blanche Wilson , Blanche Burton ,
Blrdlo Mann , Mlna Boyd and Grace Walton ,
These are the proprietors of all the so-called
"first-class" houses In the district.
The Interesting part of the matter Is that
the warrants have not been served ,
although the Informations had been
filed and the warrants Issued last Sat
urday afternooon. This procedure , however ,
will not balk Gladys Bush In her purpose.
She has elated that If the warrants are not
served she will begin a mandamus proceed
ings to compel the service.
"Wo do not Intend to ba fooled In this
matter , " said her attorney yesterday.
"My client was convicted last Saturday after
noon. She has como to the conclusion that
she was persecuted and she has determined
to put an end to It. She therefore at once
left the burnt district. But she docs not in
tend to bo discriminated against by the police
force and the fire and police commission.
If she is driven cut of the district she In
tends that every other lewd woman shall
also bo driven out. Wo will try every legal
means to bring this about. "
Gladys But'h ' returned to this city some
weeks ago. She had been virtually driven
out last fall because she ran a housa In which
robberies were of frequent occurrence. When
she returned she stated that she Intended to
have a housa that was "right" nnd In which
no one should bo ribbed. SliS'lnformed the
police of this. She had been In the city but
a few days when her house was pulled and
she and three Inmates wreo arrested. The
four were released on bonds , but within a few
days Gladys was arrested again. This con
tinued until she had been placed under ar-
rott five times. All the causs were tried
Eioveral days ago , but the final arguments
occurred last Saturday afternoon , when ( lie
court fined each of the three Inmates $5 and
costs mid Gladys Bush $10 and costo on each
cf the five cases .that had been brought
agalnft her , charging her with being a keeper
of a touro of prostitution ,
Before the casts cama to trial , the woman
appealed to the Beard of Fire and Police
Commissioners , alleging that she was being
persecuted. Her former record was against
her , despite her assurances that she In
tended , tp run an orderly house , and the
board Instructed the police to pull her house
whenever they caw fit. Thereupon the
woman determined that If she was found
guilty she 'would compel the board to
abolish the district , holding that It was Il
legally allowed 'to exist. The Issuance of
the warrants Is the first step In this direc
tion.
In explanation of the deity In scrying the
warrant/9 , Chief of Police Slgwart said that.
that there was no hurry In the matter. He
stated that the police force would certainly
serve th warrants whenever the members
found ( line to'do so. _
There Is no better proof of the excellence
of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup than that It la

There wns a wcllijnoundcd suspicion afloat
that the program ntrthe Woman's club meet
ing yesterday afternoon was to bo an Inno
vation , and the rooms , which arc usually
crowded , vrcro packed ao suffocation.
There was not oven' rtnndlng room. Plat
forms , radiators niulirwlndow scats -were
hastily pre-empted .ami . the crowd at the
door wns almost Impenetrable.
The business scsMonrwns short and of lit
tle Interest. After It followed a recess longer
than usual , giving a pleasant time for eo
clablllty. Mrs. Strawn was called to the
chair by the president , who stated that this
meeting appeared In the manual as a general
session and was not In charge of any depart
ment ) and that Mrs. Strawn bad been ap
pointed OR chairman of the committee to
prepare this program.
At this juncture the officers retired and
seventeen women ascended the platform nnd
took chnlrs reserved for them. Then every
body undcretood and the house rang with
cheers , for there was the Woman's club
officers and prominent members , carefully
and skillfully Impersonated. Miss Townc , In
her mother's bonnet , with a little Judicious
makeup , was an Inimitable mimic of the
club's president , aided as she was by the
very strong , although hitherto undiscovered
resemblance.
The secretary read a very clever report In
Imitation of the rol secretary , and the
mimic club took up the business of the hour ,
which was the subject ot building and ownIng -
Ing a club house with suitable halls nnd
apartments for the club's use. This rathe ?
vital subject lias been considerably discussed
In the real club anil many of the pros and
cons arc understood.
After resolving Itself Into a committee of
the whole with "tho parliamentarian" In
the chair the debate began In real earnest.
The chair recognized speakers by their pro
gram titles as "Tho Woman , Who Objects , "
"Tho Woman with Something on Her
Heart , " etc.
In almost every Instance the audience
recognized the familiar speakers at n glance
and responded to every new exhibition ot
a familiar mannerism or expression. The
perfection of the representation In. a number
of cases was truly remarkable and Mrs.
Ford , Mrs. Peattle , Mrs. Tracy , Mrs. Townc
and Mrs. And re us had they not been on the
Insldo of the Joke , would have been exposed
to the predicament of the llttlo old woman
of nursery fume , who questions "If I Bo Not
I , Who Be I ? " and la forced at last to the
test. "If I Bo as I Think I Bo , I've a
Little Dog at Homo and He'll Know Me. "
But they were accomplices to the deed
In part at least and dad supplied the very
familiar cloaks and -bonnets that added so
much to the makeup.
Had the mimicry ceased with these clever
trUkeups tuo representation would ) have
been a success , but this wae but a smal
part of the whole team. Every man
nerism had been carefully studied and was
enacted with great effect. The best ot a !
and representing certainly most time , care
and thought were the speeches In the debate
which were perfect parodies in most cases
ot the Ideas and expressions with which the
club Is familiar. Mrs. Wheeler's speech on
"Art" was capital. Miss Cook upon "Letting
Our Husbands Pav theBills" was recog
nized as true. Miss Itathburn and Mis ?
Somcro had carefully ttudlcd their originals
while Miss Tukey-and Miss Tonne fairly
outdid their originals In the characterlstlc-
ncss of their speeches. Miss Byrn and
Miss YimGelson tshanod , as they do so
often , glimpses " .of something very like
genius In the skill with which they carrlcc
out Ihe'Ir very difficult roles to the end.
The utmost good nature and good feeling
prevailed through this little burlesque , nl
the close of which Mrs. Andrews arose to
move a vote of thanks to the young women
"who have so ablyircprescnted us an others
see us. " The vote ) carried without a do- !
sentlng voice.
The debate was Interspersed by delightful
music. Three selections by the Lorclo
quartet , Miss Lillian Terry ; Mrs. D. T.
Campbell , Miss Maude Oakley , Mrs. . A. G.
Edwards and a' solo' ' and encore by Mr. T.
J. Kelly. _

A special holiday matinee will bo given
at the Crelghton today , J. C. Lewis In "SI
Plunkard" being the drawing card. The
usual matinee will be given tomorrow , with
popular prices.
The Frawley company , which will be the
attraction at tbe Crelghton for one week ,
commencing Sunday night , March 22 , has
an enviable reputation in the wcstcin the
atrical world. During the engagement "The
Senator , " "Lost Paradise" and "Men and
Women" will be produced.
The advance sale of reserved seats for
the night with Captain Jack Crawford at
the Cre'ghton , Saturday , March 21 , will open
at the theater box office Thursday morning.
The many" local friends of Captain Jack
have manifested a desire to make his re
ception a cordial one and there Is every
Indication that the audience which will wel
come him will bo both a large and fashion
able one.
The coming engagement at poyd's theater
of Sol Smith Russell on March 27 and 28
will be : Friday night and Saturday matinee ,
Sheridan's famoub comedy , "The lllvsls : "
and for Saturday evening a double bill : "Mr.
Valentino's Christmas , " and tbe new comedy ,
"An Everyday Man. " Mr. Russell's methods
are distinctly his own. In all his work
his naturalness Is striking and artistic. In
nothing has Mr. Rues : ! ! presented such flno
work as In his last creation. There Is no
occasion for calling special attention to Mr.
Russell , but yet \bqsc \ who BO much admire
him will be called upon to admire again.
Commencing Sunday evening at Boyd's

admirers of Delia Fox In Omaha will have

born on the same day , the Count des Es-
carbllles and the Marquis do Roselle , who
have been devoted friends slnco childhood ,
are at war \\hen the opera commences over
an estate left by their uncle notably the
duchy of Turbotlere , at St. Cloud , Franco.
A long lost daughter of tho' marquis ( Fleur
do Liu ) makes an opportune appearance , and
after winning the heart of the count's son
( Frederick ) , proceeds to make matters ex
tremely Interesting for that Irascible old
autocrat , She appears In numerous char
acters , a flower girl , a doll , a ragged mu
sician , a ghost , etc. , ridiculously complicating
everything and everybody until the end ,
when she finds tbo last will , which leaves
everything to hsr father , the marquis.
