meeting last night , and was honored by
- having the largest audience to listen to lit.
deliberations slnco the memorable midsum
, mer meeting when the citizens met to con
fer with the members over the election of
city superintendent. The drawing card last
night was tlio election of a school treasurer.
Tliero were numerous candidates and each
candidate had numerous friends who wcro
anxious to do all they could to help their
friend , The fight has generally been re
garded as a contest between the various city
banks , each desiring to secure a treasurer
who would keep the school funds on deposit
In that bank.
Ucforo going Into the fight the board
transacted Its regular routine business.
Chairman Fonda , from the committee on
buildings , reported the boilers In the various
buildings to bo In a condition requiring
frequent repairs , and stated that there was
something lit the water that seemed to
cat Into the metal In low-pressure hollers
moro rapidly thin In high-pressure boilers , I i
Tliero was always danger of the boilers
giving way , and he submitted a proposition
from an Insurance company offering to
carry a $30,000 risk for three years at $100
a year. Ho recommended the adoption of
the report and the board concurred.
Chairman Thomas of the finance com
mittee reported that there had been re
ceived from all sources In the teacher's
fund since and Including the last report ,
J7fi.G85.39 , and that tbero had been paid
ot teachers $56,421.71 , leaving a balance on
hand In the fund of $20,2G3.GS. In the school
house fund there had been received $17-
12-1.36 , all of which had been paid out but
$2,838.11. In the contingent fund there had
been received $28,738.50 , and all of It but
$3,918.09 had been disbursed.
Miss Ferguson , Miss Grass and Mrs.
Churchill were found to bo entitled to a
compensation of $ GO a month under the rules
of the board Instead of a lower figure named
In the contract which they signed , and their
salaries wore advanced to the amount
named.
Mr. Spruit advised the board of the ne
cessity ot adding a number of microscopes
for the High school , to be used In teaching
botany. The supplies asked for , 1'rof. Hayden -
den of the High school explained , would
not cost more than $200 , and the board
ordered the purchase to he made by Sir.
Spruit. Spruit also suggested the necessity
of a telephone In the High sch > ol. The toarj
agreed , provided the telephone company
would agree to enter Into a contract for
the time the schools arc In session.
A number of special bills contracted by
janitors while preparing the school buildings
for the beginning of the schools were pre
sented and ordered paid.
The report of the secretary , containing
the estimate of the value of the school buildIngs -
Ings , was referred to the finance committee
for consideration and report at the next
meeting. The report contained the result
of the annual school census , showing 7,586
children of school ago In the city. The cost
ot taking the census was $151.72 , and the
secretary's bill for that amount was allowed.
WIIEHE THE FIGHT BEGUN.
After the regular batch of monthly bills
was cleared away the board proceeded to
the election of secretary and treasurer.
There was only one candidate for the secre
taryship , and that was the present Incum
bent , T. C. Dawson. He was elected on the
first ballot.
The nrst ballot for .treasurer brought out
three candidates , Halph Williams , Douglas
Harle , the present Incumbent , and W. E.
Haveretock. The ballot resulted In each
of the candidates receiving two votes. On
the next ballot Williams received 1 , Harle
2 and Haverstock 3. The third ballot set
tled it In favor of Haverstock , who received

among all of the city banks.
The board fixed the salary of the secre
tary at $300 a year and that of the treas
urer at noAhlng. Each was required to file
the same amount of bond as last year.

nl'hlng school books to indigent pupils.

Four or five doctors and as many lawyers
had a spirited tilt with each other In the
federal courtroom yesterday. The physi
cians were called upon to testify In the
personal suit brought by Thomas C. Carroll
against the Nebraska Telephone company
for Severn Injuries received by the falling
of a telephone polo which he had climbed
In the discharge of his duties as lineman
for the company. They occupied nearly the
wholu day , and the net result was the
showing that Carroll's Injury was such that
he would always remain a crlpplo unless
scries of critical and expensive surgical
operations could relieve him.
When the doctors concluded their testi
mony the plaintiff went on the etand and
detailed his side of thestory. . His claim
was that he had never been Instructed to
Inspect poles , and that If ho had refused
to climb own though his suspicions wen- .
iroused that It was not safe ho would have
tit-en promptly discharged for Inefficiency
or disobedience of orders. One portion of
Ills testimony created a little amusement
and Interest. Ho Intimated that the tele-
phon < ' company had been stealing poles from
the city , but later admitted that exchanges
of this kind was frequently made.
When the evidence was In the plaintiff
rested andV. . W. Morseman , of counsel
far defendant , moved for the dismissal of
the case on the grounds that the plaintiff
tiad failed to show that the telephone com *
liany was In any way responsible for the
iccldcnt , and that It had been proved by
Ills own witnesses that a part of his duties
was to Inspect all poles belonging to the
company's lines and to know that they
were safeMr , Morseman argued the case
at some length , citing supreme court de
cisions to sustain his contention. One au
thority wan Stroble against the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. I'aul Railroad company ,
Seventieth Iowa , which ho contended was a
case covering all of thu Issues raised In the
; > rC5t'iit suit , Strable was employed by the
railroad company to load coal schutcs and
while so engaged the gangway leading from
.ho Incline to the chutes fell and the plain- l
Iff was severely hurt. Suit was brought In
the district court and judgment obtained
against the company. Upon appeal to the
Iowa supreme court the justices held that
as the evidence showed that the stairway
was erected exclusively for the use of
Stroble and his fellow workmen and used
jy liono others It was as much a part of
their duty to see and know that It was safe
an It was to load the coal , and the finding
of the lower court wan accordingly reversed ,
Another case cited was the 119th Illinois ,
where a ChloaRO & Alton brakeman was
tilled In an accident while coupling cars
caused by a defective draw-head. The III )
nols supreme court held that It was the
luty of the employe to refuse to attempt to
nak the coupling when ho observed the do-
ct. tad. M t * trUd to ooujl * Ui * cars
by attempting an unusual adjuatcicnt of th
link and pin. his death was due to his own
carelessness and the company was no
liable. Other supreme court decisions wer
cited and an elaborate argument constructs
upon them to sustain the motion for dla
missal.
Judge Woolson listened very attentively t
the arguments on both sides , and frequentl
Interrupted counsel with pointed questions
At the conclusion of the arguments he denlct
the motion , and the defendant will subml

that no bids were received. Fifteen In

cause of no bids made Is fully explained by I

City Clerk , South Omnha Neb. : H--
ferrlnR to the $40,500 worth of C per cent
refunding bonds to be Hold on Scptemb. r

the money market occ.isloned by the free
silver craze , capitalists and moneyed in- ,
stltutlons refute to buy bonds or lo.ui ,
money on any terms. If , however , the sli
ver sentiment subsides In the next thirty
days , as it has In the last th'rty day's , wo
will probably be able to rrv'te you an offer
to lift ycur bonds In In , aliments In the

Yesterday afternoon two deserters from
the United States army gave themselves up j
to Officer Riches and were later on taken
: o Fort Crook by Chief Brennan and niches.
The men gave their names as Claude M.
Connor and B. E. Goodln. Connor says that
ho deserted from Fort Grant , Arz. , but ho
could not rest easy with such a charne hang
ing over his head and decided after duo
Ipllberatlon to glvc > himself up. Ho had a
good home , ho said , back cast but he was
afraid to go there because If he did lie
would surely bo arrested , Goodln left the
service without leave at Fort Hlley , Kan. ,
and was tired of roaming the country li : i
lally fear of being arrested. Work was |
scarce too and as ho wat > pretty hard up he j
was willing to join with Connor In giving ,
ilmself up and taking his medicine. !

A ranchman writing from Montana says :
Shipments generally are moving very
slowly from this country this fall. In fact ,
the condition of the cattle on the raugo Is i
cry disappointing , notwithstanding plenty
of feed. Cattlemen now attribute the coudl-
lon of their stock to the horn fly and the
mosquito , both ot which have proved an un
precedented crop In this country this yea
In utmost every rase herds are falling fa
short of car orders and It looks now as
my estimate of the shortage of 25 to 30 PC
cent In the shipment off the line ot th
Northern Pacific will be low at the close o
the season. " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

On Saturday last Mrs. Samuel Novlna

the dust ot South Omaha off her feet an
shako her husband at the same time. I
order to procure the necessary cash wit
which to satisfy the ticket seller at th
depot she called In a second hand furnltur
dealer and sold the entire contents ot th
house for $12. With this money she let
the city without taking the trouble to In
form her husband of her movements or future
turo address. When Ncvlns came hoin
from work ho found all ot the furnltur
gone and the house deserted. Ho at one
made Inquiries among the neighbors am
learned the name ot the dealer who ha
bought the goods. T'hcn he told his troubl
to Judge Hedges and secured a writ of re
plcvln , alleging that the furniture purchase
was valued at $75. Ncvlns obtained posses
slon of his property yesterday and the cas

Drs. Copcland and Shcpard did not devise
their system of practicing medicine solely
as a money-making scheme , but with the
leading puriroso of enabling persons of
small means to obtain the same treatment
that rich people pay larger sums of money
for. These physicians KNOW that they
can euro diseases that strike at nine-tenths
of our people , and they know that by ad
vertising this fact and treating patients on
a grand scalp they can afford to charge a
low fee to cover costs of service and medi
cines. In these hard times such a fee com
mends Itself to every one needing medical
treatment , and when the ability of the
phjslclan Is vouched for every week by
citizens of high standing and uplmpcachablc
veracity , who desire others should know
what can bo done for them , It would seem
that the man or woman who seeks medical
attention Is In no danger of wasting time or
money by consulting lrs. Copcland and
Shcpard.
