'Acting under Instructions , the attorncjs
for the bondsmen of Henry Uolln , the de
faulting ox-city treasurer , have prepared the
following , which they will submit to the city
council at Its' next meeting , In settlement
of the $115,000 shortage.
Wo nro directed by our clients , this sure
ties upon the ofllLlal bonds of Henry llolln ,
formerly city treasurer of the c Ity of
Omiilm , to miike to your honorable body
this Blutemuit and proposition for settle-
mint.
'Jhcrc mo u number of defenses to any
nctlon Unit may be brought upon the bonds ,
on which , In ease of milt , wo will , of
course , rely , and which v > u bellovu will be
milllclcnt to discharge our cilelitH entirely
from liability. We believe that the bonds
men for the first tcnn uic discharged by
settlement of Mr liolln with the city lit
the end of that teim , and that they are
also relieved from ll.iblllt } by reason of
thu fnlluro or the city to make Known
any claim against tbo treasurer at the
llmo or that settlement , whin the bonds
men could have protected tliemselvcs out
of Mr. Holln's Individual means , whciciis ,
by making no claim at th.it time- , the bonds
men bad been lulled Into a HC-IIBO ot secur
ity for a ji-ar anil a half afterwaids , dur
ing which timeilr Holln's property bud
been dissipated , nncl wo Avere tbeieby
prejudiced to the * extent to wbleh we have
lost an opportunity to relmbtiiso oniiclMt
Wo believe that thu second net of bonds
men never bei-amo liable to the city , bo-
cuusu the'i signed the undertaking upon
condition that It should not bcomc op
erative until legally approved , and It never
\\it.s legally appioved , because there could
bo no legal approval until all funds re
ceived during his first ten in weio produced
and at counted for.
WOULD AVOID LITIGATION.
Our clients are , nowevci , anxious to avoid
litigation , and nro willing for thu purpose
of securing a Just and equitable settlement
to walvo what they regard aaalld , tech
nical defenses ,
AVe , therefore , on their behalf , make sou
n proposition , In which , for the purposes of
this pioposlllou enl > . and for no other pui-
jiose , and with a view to securing a set
tlement and not Intending to concede mi }
ot the facts claimed on behalf of the city ,
v > o will assume ) that the figures given bj
your cxportH as to the amount of shortage
of Air Jlolln are coneut
Thesis figures disclose that on July 10 ,
ISM , according to tin- computation 01 join
exports , theic was a total shortage In
funds of both cltj and sehool bo irel amounting
ingto Jllii1 CO This apparent shortage ,
however , wo understand is now coticicle-cl
on bclialf ot the city to bo re tluccd by the
sum of $10,000 , a deposit In the .Midland
State bulk , which Is shown to have' un-
questlonablj belonged to the school bo , ml ,
and In lieu of which thu school bond has
recently buttled for the sum of $7,000 , thus
making the shortage to both bchool board
and city , after treating the deposit in the
Midland State bank as school money , $103-
IkS do This amount will be further some
what reduced bj pijinents that ha\e been
made upon c.ish tickets and advances Ac
cording to the same figures , the amount
owing the school hoard by tlic cltj' treas
urer on Julj 10 , l&'Jj , was $10,87023 , and
there was then In bank to thu credit of
the school bo ird , Including the $10,000 In
tliu Midland Stain bank , thu hum of ? ! < ; , -
20S 93 , so that of the entire shortage , as
shown by the figures of your experts , ex
isting on .lulj 10 , 1893 , JJI.7702S w.is in the
school fund and $ SOI1S3S w.is the shortage.
In city funds It would seem , therefore ,
that tha loss whleh would fall upon our
clients In thu event that the city should
bu successful In suits against them , would
ngglegato thu sum of 5 0.41838 , provided
we should fall to make out our defense
cither in whole or In part.
TALK OP AN OFFSET.
Hut , to offset the foregoing amount , In-
pcndcnt of the defense which we have-
on the bonds to the city , we would have
n right to be silbrosated to thf rights of
the cltj' to follow ccitnln city funds which
have been tinned over Improperlj1 to the
school board , and thus. In a large meas
ure , to ri'lnibuiMj oursulves Wu na\u had
an Investigation nmdu of. thu books , both
of thu citj' tre.isuiur and the treasury of
the Hoard of J-ducritlon , and are thereby
able to show result or various manipula
tions of city and school funds.
The law requires the city treasurer to
keep BC'paralo funds of the city and those-
belonging to the Hoard of Kduc.itlon. It
also requires him to depojlt In certain
banks , sole-clod by the city , funds belong
ing to the cltj' . In compliance with those
requirements of the law , the recoid dis
closes that of the $220 2S 0 ! school funds
turned over to Jlr. llolln by his predecessor
ser , ho madu deposits in a number of
banks that ho made custodians of school
funds. 122-M/ni 2t leaving only $1,124 71 mixed
with the city funds Monej' collected for
liquor licenses was never allowed to mix
with city funds and none of It was de
posited la the city depositories The same
Is true of all receipts on account of state
apportionments , except the sum of Jl t-
123.33 , being pait of thu state apportionment
received on rebruary C , 1S9I The same Is
also true of all money received on bc'half
of thu school board on account of the sale
of bonds , except as to the sum of $1 300 ,
which was realized on the salu of some-
Omaha bonds held for the benefit of the
sinking fund of the school boaiel on July
12 , 1S3- The other receipts on be-half of the
school board woru not so easily kept sep
arata from the city funds at the tlmo they
weru collected. They consist of taxes , col
lect eel on behalf of the school board , J.'OV
SOS 2. ! , taxis collected for thu sinking fund
of thn school board , $ JJ1 02 , miscellaneous
receipts , such an polleo court lines , ped
dlers' ' lIconsoH , etc , $12J,1S9I,5 Theio vvafl
also drawn out from the boaid banks and
placed In the drawer or the troasiiroi'H
oillco , mixed with cltj' funds , for the paj-
tncnt of both board and city obligations ,
thu sum of $129,000 , thus making a total of
S47C.Sti.l 53 or bchool money which was mixed
with the city money at the city treasurers
oillco at thu tlmo It was received A largo
part or this mouoy was separated from
thu city money at the trensure-r's olllce , but
pait of It went into the city depositories ,
charged with a trust In favor of the Hoard
of Education Wo are able to trace ) these
Bcparatlons as follows :
'Ihero was deposited directly from the
treasurer's oillco Into the boaid banks out
of the funds nbovo mentioned an mixed with
the city funds the sum of f 01 , ITS OS , and
thcro was used In thu shape of cash , paid
over the counter for school boaid war
rants. the sum of $370,12901 making $ I3J-
301 CO out of the J475MU r > J thus separated
from the funds of the cltj' , and leaving only
JIJ.K'iSl ' of boaid tnom-j' that wcr.t Into
city banks Impressed with a trust on be-
lialf of the bouid There was also trans
ferred from the bo ird banks to city banks
thu sum of $ Gl,20J5 , making a total of
transfers and deposits of school monojs
that wont Into city banks. Impressed with
n trust In favor or thu Hoaid of IMuea-
tlon of JlOJ.Ttil 69 Against this amount , how.
ever , the treasuier drew che-cks upon the
city banks for the payment of school boaid
warrants to the amount of $70.0701' . ) , thus
leaving a not balnnco of bo ird money In
the city banks Impressed with a trust on
behalf of the boaid to the amount of $3J , .
6S53 < i. Had the treasurer then transferred
from the city banks to the board bank.s
the nbovo sum of $ SJ.iA'i : IG , the separation of
board and city monojs would hnvn been
complete. Instead , however , of tiaimfcirlni ;
that amount to the board banks , ho tians"
f erred fiom elty banks to bonid banks thu
Bum of $ J5,729,7i' , tin ruby taking out of ! ! :
city banks and turning over Into the Iloaid
of Kdiicatlon banks the sum of fC..Oli l.i
more- than the amount necessary to appor
lion the funds between thu two poipora-
llons This amount , therufoio. of $62,014 43
went out of thu cltj' di'posltoilts Into the
Hoard of IMucntlon depositories , Impioxsccl
with a tiust In favor of the city , and was
neve-r returned from the board depositories
to the city.
TUR SIlOHTAOn.
To the extent , therefore , of $02,011.43 Is
Iho city entitled to pursue the Hoard of
education mid require n rcpaj incut of that
knioiint , nnd , ir that Is done , It will rcduco
thu apparent shoitago tor which wo uiulor-
itand ( ho city now seeks to hold our ell-
tilts , f I om $ S0.41H3S to $ l > i,373ii5.
Wo realize that thera may bo somn ro-
luctancei on tbo part of tliu city to pursue
thcso fundx Into the hands of the school
board , on the theory that Iho board , having
made a scttlrmrnt ullh Its bondsmen , may
bo llablo to lose whatever amount Is re
covered fium It nnd that n rccoveij * on
behalf of the city iiKiilnst the school board
ivauld bo but tliu taking nf funds from ono
public Ircnsurj' and putting thorn Into an
other , thereby resulting in no practical ben.
flit to Iho taxpaj'iis. Wo fully appreciate
Iho foicu of this reasoning , but will nsk
/our honoiaijle body to follow out thu
result n Illtlo fuither. In the event that
suits should bo brought against our dlonta
pud that nil the defenses which wo may
have , and on which wo now bellevo vvo are
entitled to rely , should fall us ( although
\ve Jo not bellevo they would ) , and It thu
city should thereby yuccccd In recovering

IIEHE'S THE I'UOt'OSlTION.
We , therefore , under the direction of oil
clients , nnd with a view solely of moldlnj
troublesome nnd vexatious litigation , am
securing n Just nnd equitable settlement
hereby propose that our clients shall pay tc
the city of Omaha the aforesaid sum o
f IS , 371 ! ) > , nnd , upon HO doing , shall be ells
charged from further liability Wo do no
desire any undue haste In the disposition o
this matter , but ask thnt It bo Riven you
attention nt the oirllcst possible oppor
tunity Wo me prcparrel to go Into what
ever examination of the accounts may bi
necessary with your llnanco committee
nnd the clt } attorney , nnd believe tha
we ran demonstrate to your entire satis
faction Unit the amount for which our ell
entfl may be ultimately liable to the ptiblli
will not exceed the sum he-re offered
One reason that Impels us to nsk as
enrlv n disposition of tills matter as prac
tleiibleIs that our clients nro being clnll }
urged to make liberal subscriptions to the
.stock of the Transmlsslsslppl Imposition
They ate nil men who vvoulel gladly do
that , but feel seriously embarrassed b }
the large" clalmH the olty ns orlH agnlns
them , and , while they fool certain of beltif ,
nblo In the long run of reimbursing thorn
selves for most of the claim , they ftilh
ronll/o that before they areso rolmbursoi
the-y may linvu a lone road to tnuel
through venrH of litigation , nncl , with tha
prospect before them , tlu-y cannot nmko the

Midi Ile-r Mother.
The habeas corpus proceedings brought
several dajs ago by Mrs. Gertrude Dloom-
fleld to recover possession of Pearl Proto , a
G-jear-old gill were "dismissed In Judge
Daker's court jehterday at the request
of Mrs. Hloomfleld.
The llttlo girl was taken Into custody by
the police early last week upon the request
of her mother , who lives In Sioux City.
The mother Informed the police that she had
allowed Mrs. Uloomllcld to take the child
temporarily , because she was not able to
care for It herself , but Insisted that she-
had not relinquished her claim to the child.
Mrs. Hloomflcld , on the other hand , protested
against surrendering the child , urging that
the mother had given the child to her with
the understanding that she was to adopt
It and give It her name. Acting undei
the suggestion of the police department ,
Mrs. Hloomflcld began habeas corpus pro
ceedings in order to scttlo the dispute
Pending a hearing the child was given Into
the possession of Mrs. Dloomflold by order
of the court.
The case was set for hearing yester
day and Mrs. Uloomflcld appeared with the
child. Hoth wore dressed in line clothes ,
the child wearing a pretty silk frock and
accessories to correspond A lengthy con
ference was held between the mother and
Mrs. Hloomfleld In the presence of the court
and the attorney for Mrs Hloomflcld Hoth
women adheied to their interpretation of
the transaction by which the custody of the
child passed to Mrs nioomfleld , the mother
contending strenuously that she had not re
linquished her claim to the child , hut had
simply allowed Mrs Hloomfleld to take her
temporarily to relieve her loneliness. Mrs
Uloomflcld combated this statement and In
sisted that It had been thoroughly under
stood that she was to adopt the child. She
admitted that she had not taken any legal
steps to adopt the child and had no legal
right to her possession.
The matter was finally left to the child
herself as to where she would make her
home , Mrs. Hloomncld tempted her with
the recollection of the luxuries which she
had cnjojcd during the short time she had
been with her. The mother had no such
Inducements to offer , but told the llttlo ono
she would have to give up her silk dresses
for the sUnplo prints she had always worn
and bu content with such necessaries as
she might ho able to provide. There was
llttlo hesitancy on the part of the child ,
however , mother love winning the day , de
spite the Inducements of luxury and ease ,
The mother had been prepared for Just
such a decision , and quickly produced a
bundle of clothes , from which were taken
a simple dress of cotton stuff and shoes and
hat of coarser kind than the expensive ) ones
the child was wearing. Iho silk dress was
removed and the cheaper ono substituted ,
the saino being done with the other articles
of apparel
The whole party then emerged from the
private room of the court In which the con-
forcnco had been held and an order was
entered dismissing the case , after which the
whole party loft the court house ,

MUSIC.
HM-M * * * *
During the past week the Important place
occupied by music In the great festival
which has brought thousands of people to
this city has made especially clear l.salue ,
and the esteem In which It is held by this
community. A parade without a band era
a ilium corps Is unknown. It would he n
wcnrv march , block after block , mile aftcf
mile without the spill of music to make the
stcn elastic and the heart light
Music Is the null s siliuhlnc , bathed In Its
Influence it grows better , It longs for bcttel
things. Good music , understood nnd cn-
Jojcd , makes us long for that of a still
higher order , and good music well rcndcroil
and understood Is nlwajs cnjojcd , and the
understanding of It Is the ladder by which
and by which only , we can mount to the
plane of enjoyment "Him that hath ears to
hear , let him hear , " Is of all things In holy
writ the music-lover's text , for only by
hearing can he come to know what Is gooel
nnd to enjoy It Music Is not n collection
of Ink spots on a sheet of paper , but a
combination of sounds to greet the car and
thrill the soul
In this great country of ours , made up
as It Is from the nations of the earth , anil
In human enterprises wonderfully cosmo
polltan. It Is of the utmost Importance to
us that the nations who give us their blood
and their brains , their chtldicn and their
wealth bo It ever so little shall also give
us their art and allow us to drink first
hand at those ancient fountains where the-lr
forefathers drank , as from nature herself
Immortal melodies
All over our land the Germans , the Welch ,
and the Men of the North have their singIng -
Ing societies. In these thej perpetuate theli
own home music , with Us peculiarities of
tone , color and rhythm , and they are an ever-
ready storehouse from which the musician
of America is to draw , and out of which ,
tiansformed bj the peculiarities of our
civilization , the national music of America
Is jet to bo devclope'd

The concert given last evening at the
Coliseum by the Northwestern Scandinavian
Singers' association Impresses anew the
Importance of this organization In our do
mestic musical affairs , and the value the
one-time foreigner may bo to us Every
body remembers Ardltl , the composer of
numerous wait ? songs published with the
ugliest possible portrait of Mine. Pattl on
the front page Well , the old fellow Is soon
to have a Jubilee In remembrance of his
flist appearance as > a violinist , and that oc
curred sixty jears ago. He has been one
of the greatest of Italian opera conductors
and has composed several his first having
been performed when he was 19 years of
age. That was before , even Paul's time
Wagner had Just written "The Flying Dutch.
man , " and It Is up-to idato music In every
sense of the word. Ardlti's Is forgotten
How folks differ.

Prof D Prothlroc ot Milwaukee , who fa
vored the people ot the First Presbyterian
church with some excellent biritono solos
last Sunday , Is expected to pass this way
again Tuesday next , and the church people
are endeavoring to get him to stop over nnd
give a recital on that evening , with every
prospect of succebs

The concert given last evening at the
Coliseum was heard by what would have
been a standing-room-only audience In any
other place , and a long and dimcult pro
gram was very well rcndecd
Tbo Northwestern Scandinavian Singers
association embraces societies In eleven
states. Each society has a complete corps
of ollleers and Is managed upon thorough
business principles The double object al-
wajs In sight Is the study of the best music
and the development of a staunch fraternal
spirit.
The organization as heard last evening
consisted entirely of mer. and was made up
of the several Usltlng socle-tics some ol
which appealed Individually under their own
directors This singing yas mostly clone
without accompaniment ami alvvajs without
printed music. As a general thing the In
tonation was satlsfacforj- Greater dlffei-
enccH of power could have Been obtained to
advantage , oven In so large a hall , the robust
boldness was decldcellj refieshlng
The boloists were a pleasunt surprise. Mr
John R. Ortengren , baritone , began his musi
cal career In Stockholm and at one time
was engaged at the Royal opera At pres
ent he resides In Chicago. Ills rendering of
the Heclt and Aria from the fourth act of
the "Marriage of Figaro , " by Mozart , was a
duo specimen of dramatic singing. Ills voice
was full and resonant , his Intonation ac
curate and bo showed no disagreeable
tremolo.
Mine. Ragna Llnne sang the great nrla ,
"Pleurotz , Pleuretz Mcs Ycux , ' from "Lo
Did , " by Massenet , with ii beauty of tone
and Intelligence of expression that made
oven so disconnected an excerpt of modem
jper.i music pleasing to the musically unedu
cated Mmo. Linnet has boon a pupil of
Marches ! and has sung with success In
Europe.
Our own Martin Cahn played the piano ac
companiments most artistically.
Mr. Ernest Nordln , as conductor of the
chorus , showed himself to be a good drlll-
inastcr and a conscientious musician ,
* * *
After the concert the society called on
Flic Heo and sang several selections In the
rotunda , which were greatly enjoyed by
these fortunate enough to bu jet In the
building.

The week Just past has not been a par
llcularly notable ono nt the theaters , except
In point ot business. In which respect It will
probably bo remembered when periods richer
In theatrical entertainment have been forgot
The attractions presented have been well
adapted to the needs of fair week , nnd the
crowds of strangers from without , mingling
with our own citizens on pleasure bent , have
bestowed generous patronage on the play-
hoilscs At the Crelghton these two merr }
fellows , I'crguson and EmcrlrU , with their
company of hard-working assistants , bnve
Blown In popular favor , and have even won
commendation from certain critic's who nre
usual ! } more severe In their judgments thnti
the mass of theater goers Their show for
when all Is said the word "show" prop < Ml }
belongs to their style of entertainment
genuinely amusing In Its slap-dash way , and
without making oveunuch demands upon
the Intelligence of HP auditors , Is an enjoy
able performance , which Improves upon ac-
( liialntance If "McSorlc's Twins" shall
bring their Infantile frocks and theli inns
slvo lower extremities back hither at some
future time , they nnd those associated with
them may bo assured of a licatty nnd sub
stantial welcome
The coming week cannot be said to hold
out n shining promise of bettor things. nl _

ments of DCS Molncs and Its state fair. At
Ilojd's a repertory company , managed and
headed by William Hlttni > r , opens n fort
night's engagement tomoirovv night nnd
will appear In a round of favorite plavs
Mr IJIttner's last professional appearance
hero was In IMvvln Milton Hoylo's Mexican
ar play , nnd his long association with the
Tale's should certainly aid him in giving
a satisfactory performance of their well
known drama , "Friends. " which ho will
pioduce here in the course of the coming
engagement Ills compaii } Is bald to be a
good one , the prices of admission nre low ,
nnd Mr. Dinner's numerous fi lends those
who knew him during his residence hcio , as
well as the others who have made his ac
quaintance as an actor will doubtless ex
tend due encouragement to his new under

A deplorable war would appear to hnvo
broken out In tlie > sister city of Lincoln , be
tween the theaters united on ono side and
a certain evening paper , which claims to
have been slighted In the matter of adver-
Using , on the other Strife among these I
tvvo potent factors of civilization Is at all
times to be deprecated In the present
case the matter nt Issue would seem to
concern their respective business ollkcs
rather than the general public It is alwas
competent for a newspaper to punish enter
prises which neglect to advertise with it
bv withholding all mention of them from
Its columns To go further , to disparage
Intemperate ! ) ' the wares which they offer
for sale and to send out damaging reports
to dealers at the centers of supply Is not
dignified journalism and will not command
the approval of the public1 , which bupporta
both the theater nnd the newspapei.
Blttner's Theater company , which appeals
at Dojd's all the coming nick , Is without
doubt one of the strongest oiganlzations of
Its class tracling. . During the engagement
In this city the company will present some
| ) la > s that na\e never been seen here be
fore. A first class perfoimance Is guar
anteed , with e\cry attention gl\en to detail.
Our theater-goers should avail themselves
of the oppoitunlty of seeing this companj.
The prices aie certainly reasonable. In
soliciting his company Manager Illttner has
chosen only those people with whom he is
personally acquainted people with whom he
lias woikcd , under other management , In
: heery best companies that travel Among
: he mobt prominent of them is Florence
Morrow , last season with A. Y. Pearson's
White Squadron company. . Ono of the
features ot the engagement which shotili
appeal to all theater-goers Is the fact tha
this company docs not pirate any plajs , bu
pa > a n ro > alty to the rightful owners of the
different pa ! > s presented Therefore , Mr
Illttner has the original manuscript , Jus
as It was produced In Now York Cltj , am
not a garbled \crslon caught on the fly by
some play thief , who , after seeing the pla >
five or six times writes It up from memory
stippljlng his own language \vhero incmorj

Managers I'axton & llurgess announce the
two-night engagement of a competent com
pany In Scott Marble's dramatisation o
Ilret Harto's slorj , Tennessee's Partner , '
nt the Crelghton , opening with a matinee
today. They are confident that the play w II
please theater goers , for both the comp.in.v
and the play have made notable successes
during Its famous long run In New York
The play Is n combination or comedy am
pathos , and the Intense ! } Interesting storj
Is one that charms everjbody. H Is In four
acts , with the scenes laid In the Hocky
mountains The characters are said to ho
oilgliml and some of them to ruriilsh n fiini
of humor , while others command respect
by their dlgnltv and nobleness The prin
cipal scene Is laid In the Golden Nugget
mine Caleb Swan and " "
nls "paid , Asa
Itlio , are the greatest friends Dice steals
off from his pardner and returns with a
wife , whom Caleb recognises as an ad-
unturess , who has simply married him for
his "dual. " Caleb piomlsc.s to keep her
secret as long as she remains true to his
"pan ! " Tennessee Ken. comes on from
Tennessee In search of her father , who ,
dying two > ears ptcvlotisl } , loaves her a
mine , but bids Caleb to keep bis death a

become "pards" for life Tom Itomaln , the
adventuress' paramour , Is Killed while tr-

characters , which Include miners , gamblers
and men seen around the mountains add to
many hurnoi ous scenes The companj is the
same as participated In the original produc

n strong cast and o\cellcnt performance
"Tennessee's I'ardner" Is a decided noveltj
