the Scheme.
VTJwu the aldermen met last night for
tfae purpose of again wrestling with the
Jo w llroadway pavement problem all of
tbra were inclined to end the matter by
ordering the lemoval of all of the old
blocks md giving the public what a ma-
Jorlty of It w-Lk clamoring for. the original
I dirt roadway. But before discussion lud
be-en Indtileed In to any great extent Al- |
dcnnan Barstow stated that he believed j
he t-aw a vay out of the difficulties at i
surrounded the council. He stated that ]
E. A. Wlckham had intt him during the !
afternoon and made a proposition which !
he thought would w > Ive the matter sad ]
give the public a splendid street at small j
cost. Wlckham had oflered. he said , lo |
furnish the city sufficient gravel to cover '
the street to a depth of six inches. This ]
i gratel was in a bank half a mile nonh ,
, of the city. The bank Hts alongside of ,
j the Xortfiwestern railroad tracks , and if 1
the city could Induce the railroad com-1
jiany to put in a switch Wlckham wo-ild ,
furnish the gravel to the city without cost' '
if the city would load It. Alderman Bar-
stow was satlsfic-d that this would put
the street In fim-class condition , but the
only thing In the way was the cost oft
loading and transporting the gravel. > c-
t
I cording lo the city engineer's estimate' '
I k,000 yards would be rinjulre-d to cover
the surface four inches deep , which would
make six inches of courlng when added
; to the gravel and sand now under the old
blocks. It would cost from J3 to J4 a car. j
be had been Informed , to bring the graxcl
to the city , and 1C cents a yard to haul
H from the cars and distribute It over the
street. This would make a total cost of
about r.5 cents a yard. The plan looked to
be Aery feasible to him , but the difficulty' '
that laid in the way tvas the lack of
funds available for immediate use. It
would cost about $5.000 to do the work ,
and if this sum could be provided the work
could be done at once.
The council was meeting as a commit
tee of the whole and the statement set
everybody to thinking. The citirens who
were present determined to strengthen the
councllmen in their decision to order the
removal of the blocks , which was arrived
nt yesterday after a most careful Inspection
of the street during the forenoon , were
ellenu Toe aldermen gathered In little
kiiolc around thtlr desks and held consul
tations. Too mayor .left Tils chair and
talked with the city engineer and others
in the adjoining room. Many of the alcer-
men bore testimony to the efficiency of
a gravel and cinder street , but from * 1
to J2 a yard for the gravel was the best
figures that they had been able lo set for
each yard of gravel required. Alderman
Shubert referred to streets made of gravel
in other cities that bad been in use for
twenty years and were thoroughly tatis-
factory. 3)r. ) Wlckham was not present
and the aldermen believed that there must
be a string to this proposition. They .Tore
unable to understand -why it was that he
should make such a liberal proposition un
less the bank was located in tome Inac
cessible place where the cost of building
a railway switch and opening the l > ark
would be lery great , but they discussed
the offer with the greatest interest.
When they got together again Alderman
Barstow moved that the question be de
ferred for further Investigation , and sug
gested that committees be appointed to wait
upon the motor company and the county
commissioners for the purpose of procuring
their assistance In meeting the expense , and
also for the purpose of estigating ilr.
Wlckam'c liberal proposition. He thought
that the Bridge and Motor company could
be Induced to contribute materially toward
the -work , for they realized the necessity of
providing a good street to encourage traf
fic for the bridge. The motion lo appoint a
committee of three to Investigate the gravel
question was carried , and the mayor ap
pointed Aldermen Shubert , Barstow and
Pace A committee of three was also ap
pointed lo confer with the county commis
sioners and the motor company. They were
Aldermen Greenshields , Graham and Brough.
There was no objection to the motion to de
fer further consideration of the problem
until after the grate ] matter was investi
gated and it prei ailed. The council then
adjourned as a committee of the whole and
went Into session as a council for the pur
pose of allowing the Gas and Electric Light
company's bill for last month , amounting
to about f2,9M ) . Adjournment until the
next regular meeting followed.
E. A. WIckman was found after the coun
cil meeting was oter and questioned about
his remarkable proposition. "Yes , I told
Alderman Barstow that the council could
have the gravel free of charge If they loaded
It on the cars , or 1 would load it for 25 cents
a cubic yard. The gravel is on the John
Hammer property , which I recently came
into possession of. It adjoins the North
western main line , just north of Mynster
Springs , and a switch could be put In with
but little cost. In fact , there used to be a
switch there. There Is a bed of gravel
uncovered lo the extent of about an acre
and it is over sixty feet deep. I will give
the city the gravel for the purpose of openIng -
Ing up the bank. It will only require about
400 cars , and there li more than that many
thousand cars now In tight , "
This will probably end the serious ijrob-
Jem that confronts the council , and the
street will be put in first-class condition
within a short time. The pltn Is to take
up the blocks and put the gravel on top of
the planks and sand , and give It a top dressIng -
Ing of earth and cinders leveled off and
well rolled.

Oregon Short Line Ilecnllen III * Hours
of In > | iri oiiiuent.
The Indian arrested on Sunday and who
chose to be designated by the comprehen
sive title of Oregon Short Line was fined
(10.20 for intoxication at the morning es-
slon of the police court yesterday. The
sentence means one week with the street
gang , and the Indian took his place In line
yesterday afternoon , armed with a long-
handled shovel ,
Oregon is a good deal of a character tnd
has bad a heap of experience In his life.
When he was locked up Sunday evening
he was turned into the corridor with the
other prisoners. He Immediately started to
get acquainted and made the rounds how-
bowing with the men he met. All of his
demonstrations were of & decidedly friendly
character until he c-me lo a coal-black
negro , known as "Four O'clock. " His whole
manner changed and he went after the
darky's scalp. The warwhoop be uttered
when he" spied "buffalo soldier" startled
all the other prisoners * nd brought Jailer
Ward. The Indian was determined to ex
terminate the darky and the latter was
making t brave fight for his woolly scalp-
lock when the jailer interfered. The Indian
was pUced In solitary confinement In the
steel cell and "Four O'clock" was congratu
lated upon his narrow escape from being
killed.
"Don't you belleb it. boney. " said he.
"I jus * run over bean to git dts beah coal
shovel , an' dtt pesky redskin faltered me.
If you'd let us alone jus' a minute longer
dat plains nlerah uould bib Un killed ,
cuab's you're born. I wasn't skeered of his
jellln' . I only wanted to git de shovel right
quick Dere'd been in Icjun funeral today
tuab. If you hadn't come in jes' when you
did"
The Indian found bis tongue yesterday and
talked freely to the officer in charge of the
street gang lie claimed to belong to one
of the North Pacific coast tribes , end re
latedwith great * * tsfactloa ! ttories ot I be
numerous fights with the soldier * be bad
participated in. As evidence ol his asser
tion that be had been in the thickest part
ot many desperate battles he thoiied a
doten wounds. He ira shot t broach the
bead and t * ts the marks of several bullet
wounds about the bead. His body froai tbe
sboaMrs down shows numerous marks ef
bayonet throats aad saber rats. He Is fond
of telling of his exploits on tbe battlefield.
He detailed with great gusto where he and
his fellow Mvages led the soldiers Into a
trap that proved to I * a slaughter pen. The
Indians hoisted a flag of truce after tbe
battle had been In progress some time and
announced their willingness to bold a pow
wow. The Invitation was accepted , and be
fore negotiations were begun lh wily red-
tklns suggested that their braves would feel
better and hate "pood hearts" If they were
first given a feast. The suggestion was re
ceived favorably , and army beans , hard tack
and bacon were ret out without ttlnt. All
sat down to the feast and the utmost peed
feeling was apparently prevailing. Every
Indian was alert and ready for inMant action ,
when the tlpnal was given. H came like
a thund.rbolt. and the savages sprang to
their feet and shot and tomahawked the sol
diers before they could drop the food from
their hands. Over sixty were killed before
the Indians broke for cover In the lata
beds , and belore 'he other soldiers could get
their arms and Src a desultory volley
Oregon declares that he has been through
all the Pacific coitt Indian w-ars In the lest
twenty-five yt > are. and he points to his scars
to prove It He rays that after peace was
finally established he shipped before the
mast on a coast vessel and made a trip
around the horn , stopping at Jamaica and
landing at one of the gulf ports. He Rays
he Is getting to be an old man now and all
he wants is a place to sleep and plenty of
firewater.
H will be painfully apparent to all in the
least familiar with frontier history that
Oregon's Intercourse with the while man
has developed his inherent taste for romance
as well as his lote for firewater The nearest
actual occurrence corresponding to the mas
sacre he describes Is the murder of General

Teacher \VrHen nn Oien Letter to
Member of the School Ilimril.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. la. , July 27. To Prof.
C. Spruitt :
"Oh. wad some power the plftie gle us
To see ourselve-s as ithers see us. "
This IE my text , sir , for preaching you a
short discourse-
Some friend , if you now have any , should
point out lo you jour insignificance and Im
press it upon jou , but as no one has cared
enough for you lo reveal your true mental
and moral self to you. as through a looking
glass. 1 shall proceed to measure jou by
tbe standards which other people apply to
> ou.
ou.So long as you remained In that obscurity
for which nature seems to have so ad
mirably fitted you no one gave jou even a
passing notice , but In becoming a member
of the school board you invite attention
and criticism.
Instead of visiting the schools as the
law directs end Investigating in a straight
forward , manly way the methods In use ,
your first act after taking your seat waste
to go around among the janitors to make
inquiry about the teachers. You also waited
until school was out and then began your
peregrinations among the teachers to glean
something you might use against some
teacher whom you seemed to dislike.
From this It would cppear that there Is
a good deal of the sneak In your composi
tion.
tion.You
You are somewhat inflated since your
election. It is said that in jour vain ,
pompous way you have said : "I am an educator
cater , and am capable of criticising the
schools" I am glad you told us jou are
en educator. Certainly no one has ever
discovered this. You have lived here
among us and we have hitherto looked upon
you as fourth class in educational work.
You hate also presumed to tell some of
UE that you want written - ork , not oral.
In the grade studies , particularly in lan
guage.
Now you may swell up with your official
Importance , but neither law- nor custom
gives you authority as a director to dictate
tbe methods of the schoolroom. You can
suggest and nothing more. The restraining
inCutnce of the law is thus friendly to you ,
for in the only room you visited , taking
charge of the class In your pompous way ,
you succeeded in making a. chump of your
self with perfect ease and grace. Should
you ever again visit a. schoolroom keep
quiet , and possibly the pupils will give you
credit for not being so ignorant as your
talk and general appearance indicate.
Written methods , indeed ! They are as an
tiquated as tbe old blue back speller. The
modern educational method is to do oral
work in nearly all grades.
There are those among us who attend na
tional , state and district educational meetIngs -
Ings , and we know what Is modern in edu
cation. If you do. your statements belle
you. For the past five years we teachers
have met twice a month under the intelli
gent and helpful direction of Superintend
ent Sawyer and discussed such books as
Brooks' Normal Methods. White's Elements
of Pedagogy , White's School Management
and the famous reports of the Committees
of Ten and Fifte-en. You doubtless don't
know what the-se last are. so I will tell you :
About two years ago tbe National Educa
tional association appointed two committees
of eminent educators to devise a course of
study for tbe secondary schools and grades
respectively. Tbe latter committee evidently
did not consult jou before preparing the
most Important educational document of
modern times , for they put the seal of ap
proval upon oral methods In language , arith
metic and geography. So does Dr. White.
Dr. Fitch and everybody else worthy of no
tice. In the city schools both oral and
written work have been sanctioned.
Again rcferrins to my text. 1 would say
keep out of the Institute , for it Is the uni
versal verdict of the Pottawattamie teachers
that you gave us simply rubbish. Next
rear we shall probably petition Superin
tendent Paulson to save us from tbe anti
quated literature you palm off on us under
the guise of "language work. " You ure
sadly out of place trying to teach tboe who
have all the faculties with which nature
usually endows her children.
During the normal , as each day you
rrancod back and forth across tbe room
wildly pawing the air for ideas , jou simply
Impressed us as an object of pity , and non-
we want lo suegrst lo tbe deaf and dumb
instructors that they keep you at home.
Since the city teachers attend the normal
you are out of place , loo. in appearing in
tbe dual capacity of instructor and director.
Were > ou possessed of common shrewdness
or of that higher , finer feeling that alwajs
marks the gentleman , you would know this
yourself.
I realUe that I have devoted too much
space to such a subject , and close with an
apology to tbe public.A

one , eighty feet deep , only sixteen Inches
In diameter , and bored with the ordinary
well auper to a depth Of about fifty feet ,
below which point It was drilled. Help
was right at hand and a young taan at
tempted to go down and rescue the boy.
He nag able to descend but a short dis

to those above that he was alive and hangIng -
Ing onto the side of the wall , just above
the water , but that he could net hold out
much loncer.
The scene at the top of the well it Is
Impossible to describe. A large crowd had
gathered : one woman fainted when It was
found the young man could not get
down , and others were wringing their hands
in a distracted manner. Finally a boy
about 12 years of age said he would co
down. A rope was fastened about him and
he was lotrered down the cramped passage ,
at last managing to squeere down to where
the brave little fellow was holding on for
dear life. On account of the small opening
It was a difficult matter to get the rope
around the small boy , but the task was
finally accomplished and he and his rescuer
were drawn to the surface safe and sound
The elder boy was found to be badly
scratched up and his shoulders were ter
rible lacerated. An hour after the accident
the boy had forgotten the matter and was
superintending the caging of three cats that
were to 'form one of the features In a Juve

In order to facilitate matters the reading
of the minutes of the last meeting of the
city council was dispensed with by the body
last night.
A report from the judiciary committee
recommtndlng the passage of the ordinance
providing for a 3 cent fare on the street
cars was read and adopted.
Chairman Caldwell of the Judiciary com
mlttee read an adverse report on the ordi
nance levying a tax on telephone , telegraph
and motor poles. The committee was of the
opinion that on account of this being a great
live stock market and telegraphic market
reports being sent out every day it would
be unwlte to take such action as Indicated
by the ordinance. The report of the com
mittee was not adopted.
Chief Smith of the fire department was
given permission to attend the annual con
vention of fire chiefs at Salt Lake City.
The special committee appointed to visit
the fire hjdrants In the Third and Fourth
wards with a view to relocating some of
them reported in favor of allowing the hy
drants to remain where they are for the
present. The committee was of the opinion
that the hydrants could not be mo\ed with
out expense to the city. City Attorney
Montgomery was asked for an opinion , but
stated that he could not give an opinion
without first reading the contract with the
water company , which has not yet been
found. The report of the committee was laid
over for one week and the committee was
Instructed to investigate more fully.
Sidewalks were ordered laid within thirty
days on the west side of E street from
Twenty-fourth to Twenty-sixth streets , the
nest side of Thirty-third street from K teL
L streets and on the west side of Twenty-
sixth street from B to E streets.
Property owners petitioned for an electric
light at Seventeenth and M streets. Re
ferred to the public light committee. Welsh
Bros , have a judgment against the city
for ? 400 and they want the money. Re
ferred.
Poundmaster Mcly notified the council
that the fund from which be is paid is
exhausted and recommended that J100 be
transferred to the dog fund in order to pay
him. Referred to finance committee.
J. W. Cress , city welghmaster , reported
that "Lenagh Bros , were weighing loads
and giving tickets In violation of the city
ordinances. Referred to the license com
mittee.
G. M. Stanton wants the cily to pay him
tCOO because his carriage was wrecked at
Thirtieth and L- streets and he was con
siderably injured. A farm wagon struck
Stanton's buggy on account of sliding on
the old car tracks at that point. The com
munication was placed on file.
Electric lights were ordered placed at
Eighteenth and W streets and Seventeenth
and M streets.
The city attorney reported on the open
ing of Thirtieth street -where it Is fenced
by B. Jetter that there had never been a
statutory dedication of the street to the
city. He thought that as Jetter intended the
road for a public highway his Intent could
be taken ar a common law declaration. An
injunction , the attorney thought , would
open the street. Condemnation proceedings
would be too expensive , as the city would
have to pay Jetter for three acres of land
and the benefits could not be assessed
back , as they should be if this were done.
Injunction proceedings will very likely be
begun shortly.
Hughes called up the ordinance levying
a tax on telephone end telegraph poles and
the ordinance was read the second time. Mr.
Hughes was in favor ef placing a tax of { 2
on each pole. The ordinance was referred
back to the Judiciary committee with in
structions to report back at the next meet
ing.

the street car company has refused lo do the !
work for less than the price set by the direc
tor ? . 1100 a month , it looks as If South
Omaha would have to get along without such
excellent mall facilities as It has had for a
time at least. There Is no doubt In the
minds of the railway mall service officials
but that congress will appropriate money for
the service at its neit session. In the mean
time this city will have only four mails a
day instead of ten. Even with four trips
dally by the wagon the service will be crip
pled and put the packers and commission '
men to a great Inconvenience The stock
