Subscriptions to stock , which were held
off until the result of the election was
known , arc coming In at an encouraging
rate. Among the matters which have been
Hanging fire largely on this account was the
subscription list of the brewers In Omaha
anil of the brewers In outside cltlra who do
business In Omaha The home brewers sub
scribed $5,000 each , on condition that the
outstilo brewers subscribe amounts In pro
portion to the amount of business done by
them In Omaha. At the came time the home
brewers Indicated the respective amounts
they considered the outside dealers should
contribute. Committees visited the head
quarters of the outside brew era and en
deavored to secure subscriptions , which
would comply with the conditions referred
to. A voluminous correspondence was car
ried on and the result was that the outhldc
brewers refused to subscribe anywhere near
the amounts Indicated. For Instance , the
amount that the home bicwcrs thought the
Schlltz Brewing company should subscribe
was $3,750 , but the officers of that company
refused to subscribe more than $500. This
was finally pushed up to $1,000 after hard
work on the part of the soliciting committee ,
and thlfl amount was accepted The same
procedure In the case ot the other outside
brow ers resulted In the following subscrip
tions : Anhcueei-ltusch company , St. Louis
$6DO ; Pabst , Milwaukee. $500 ; W. J. Lcmp
Brewing company , St. Louis , $500 ; Schoeii-
hofer Brewing company. Chicago , $300 , The
home brewers then reduced their subscrip
tions and the Metz Brewing company , Krug
Brewing company and Omaha Brewing asso
ciation each subscribed $3,000 , and the South
Omaha Brewing association , $1,000.
Secretary Wakeflcld received notice jester-
day morning from Luclen Wells , chairman of
the Council Bluffs soliciting committee , that
he had $1,000 ot subscriptions from resi
dents of the sister clt > , which bo would
forward at once to the seeretary.
The subscription list has been swelled by
subscriptions of $1,000 each , from Kelley ,
Stlger & Co. , and Browning , King & Co.
'llio committee which has been canvassing
the railway and other largo corporations , all
of whle.li refused to cube > crlbo before the
election , reports encouraging prospects of
substantial subscriptions from these corpora
tions. The latter has been laid before the
reviewing officers of all ot the largo cor-
poratlons , and definite results are expected

The annual report of Superintendent
Penrso for the school year ending July 1 ,
1S9G , Is a thorough and critical rc\lc\v of
the uorlc of the schools and Indicates that
both In discipline and efficiency the Omaha
schools continue to rank with the best of
other largo cities. The report shows tlmt
thcio v.33 no material change In the school
population of the city during the year.
It aggregated 23GOO In June , 1S9G , as com-
paicd with 28,630 In June , 1S93. A de
crease of fifty-five In the enrollment Is ac
counted for by the fact tlmt children were
not received In the lowest primary class
after the middle of the year. Whllo there
Is a slight decrease In the enrollment , there
Is an Increase of 320 In the dally member
ship and of 302 In the average dally at
tendance. This Is cited as a gntlfjlng in
dication , as It shows a greater regularity of
attendance with lisa absence than In previ
ous jcais. There were 200 more pupils re
maining In school at the close of the > car
than at the end of the pre\lous jear. The
enrollment per teacher \\ao 18.G ; the average
membership per teacher , 39.2 , and the average -
ago dally attendance per teacher , 37 I. This
Is a good n\crago and Indicates a full em
ployment of the time of teachers.

Superintendent I'carso states that the
most engrossing problem of the year just
closed has been the financial one and there
fore devotes considerable space to a discus
sion of the cent of education.
CONCDUNING ECONOMY.
"During times when Industries were pros
perous and wealth was everywhere Increas
ing rapidly the funds needed for the support
of the schools has been freely furnished and
thcao charged with their management lm\c
often applied only one test as to the wisdom
of any proposed expenditure 'Doco It Heem
to bo a good thing ? If It docs , buy It. '
"Hut In the few jcars past , while the
pcoplu of thn nation ha\e been passing
through the period of liquidation that has
always followed excessive credits and large
numbers of people have been In the direst
financial straits , the \olco ot the objector
has oftencr ocen heard. The- man who for
some reason believes that the public schools
should gt\c Instruction In only 'rcadln' ,
'rltln * and 'rlthmctlc has lifted up his voice.
"These In charge of the schools , If they
have been wise , have paused and carefully
taken their reckonings. They have prepared
themselves to show to the objectors wherein
the expenditures for echool purposes have
been right and proper , and If perchance op
portunity for retrenchment without loss of
efficiency has offered they have faced this
squarely and have taken measures to shorten
sail to match the breeze.
"At the beginning of the jear Just closed
plans wore for the most part made , eo far
as expenditure of money for the scliooln
was concerned. Only one means of reducing
expenses seemed to promise much at that
time , namely , the consolidation of Hchoota
In various buildings where this seemed pos
sible , and through this a saving In the
amount paid for salaries of teachers.
"By care In this respect an Increcuo of 323
In the primary and grammar grades was
cared for without any Increase In the num
ber of teachers In these grades. This In
crease In attendance would have required in
the usual course of things the employment
of at least eight additional teachers for
these grades and the expenditure for salaries
of teachers and other school expenses of
something over $10.009. These consolidations ,
however , were confined almost wholly to the
grammar and primary grades , for High
school and kindergarten teachers , having
been regularly elected , only as teachers In
these departments voluntarily relinquished
their positions could consolidations bo inn do.
"Comparing actual cost of the joar just
closed with the year preceding , shows for
the year ended July 1 , 1S93 , the sum of
$248,321.50 paid for salaries of teachers
This sum Includes $21,70155 for salaries for
the month of June , 1894 , which was paid In
July , 1S94 , but does not properly belong to
the- expenses for the jcar ended July 1 ,
1893. Deducting till * , leavra $223,559.93 , the
actual amount paid for teachers during the
jcar. The a\urago dally attendance for the
jcar was 12,238 , , which makts the cost per
child $18 20 for teaching.
"Tho amount reported as paid for teach
ers' salaries for the jcar just past Is $227-
54S30. The High echool this jear was In
scbslon ten months , while all other tichools
were In session but nine months. Deducting ,
then , the amount paid for High school sal
aries for June. In order to nrrlve at a com
parison with the preceding jcar , when none
of the schools wcio in session over nine
months , gives $221,47830. The average
dally attendance was 12,630 , which makes
the cost per child for Instruction $17.77.
This la 49 cents less per child than for the
preceding jcar , and dhows on the enrollment
x saving In the ono Item of tcaehers' sal-
irles alone of over $0,000. The saving , too ,
lias boon effected without reducing the sal
ary of any teacher.
TOTAL COST OF SCHOOLS.
"Tho cost of enumerating persons of
school ago in the city ono jear ago was
paid during the year Just closed. Trans
ferring this to the account for the year
ended July 1 , 1895 , where It properly be-
loDgH. wo find the total cost of the schools
for the year Just cloaed to be $376,168.91 ,
and the co t per pupil , based on average
dally attendance. $29,02. The total cost for
the precedlrtg year will then appear $371-
C2225 , and the cost per pupil , $30.30. This
shows a reduction , based on total expend
iture , of 74 cents per pupil. "
Attention Is also called to the fact that
the mnrtctgo on the Sherman school eltc
lias been paid out of the general fund , If
thli Item wc considered the reduction of
cost per pupil would have amounted to E7
cents.
Speaking of the further consolidation of
claeies , Superintendent I'carao says that
this Is simply a measure of nccosilty forced
by the lack of funds , Parents -whose chil
dren are thus Inconvenienced may find
consolation la the fact that the children
are undoubtedly bt'tUr taught In the larger
Rchooln to which Uiay nro trAnnferred , Pl\o
teachers o.n ho dtapcniicd with by following
this system further ; but ho expresses the
hope that In anotbtr year the funds of
the board may beIn condition to relieve
them of this necessity.
The supcrlr.tcndtnt taken a vigorous posi
tion against any reduction of the salaries
of teachers. Ho Mj-s'tlmt while the stream
of cominc-rce has shrunken greatly In almost
all Its channels , there are as many school
children ns ever , and more leichors are
needed than ovcr-brfore. Tor this reason
It cannot be expected that the salaries of
teachers will falli a * Is the cnso In other
employments In which the volume of busi
ness l.as diminished otic-third or one-half.
"A school 8) stem Is , like any sj-stom , a
growth. It takes jcars to build up and
perfect the working of such a sjatctn.
Teachers must not only bo carefully se
lected , but mtst bo taught , carefully trained
In plans and methods of discipline and In
struction In order that the \arlous parts
of the sjstem , each part perhaps good and
well calculated to servo Us purpose , may
work together without friction and secure
the oial for which the whole exists.
MAINTAINING EFFICIENCY.
"This ckme nt of time , the necessary time ,
Is what irany would-be reformers overlook
The changes In a force of teachers must be
slow. Only a certain amount of new ma
terial may bo taken Into a corpa and as
similated at one time. Especially Is It
true that a large nucleus ot skilled and
experienced teachers , the best , must remain
to bo an Inspiration and example to the new
members who come In willing but untrained
The loss of the best 10 per cent of anj
teaching force would Injure the schools
much more than the less of the poorest 50
per cent. A Ires of 10 i er cent of our
best leathers would reduce the average e\-
ccllcnco ot our schools thrco or four times
that percentage. These teachers slmplj
could not be replaced tlntll alter jcars of
hard work and careful selection. Many ot
these principals and teachers ha\o been
In the schools for years. Through their
skillful work the school ; ? ot Omaha have
attained a high degree ot cvcollonco am ) an
enviable icputatlon. Many of them have-
reputations extending bejond the borders
of their state and would be welcomed In
other cities , as some of them have alreadj
been. The less of any considerable number
of them would then bo a blow from which
our schools would not recover for jears
Eveiy child passing through the schools at
that time would be a direct loser through
Inferior Instruction.
"A city can hope to retain this class of
teachers only by fair treatment and proper
compensation. Whenever. In any city , the
salaries of Its teachers fall materially below
those paid by other similar cities , thla drain
of the cream of the teaching force begins
and will continue until the Inequality no
longer exists. If Omaha wcro pajlng
more than other similar cities , the question
of salarj' reduction might be a proper ono to
consider , but as a matter of fact , In the
region In which Omaha Is situated , lying east
of Pennsylvania and north of Tennessee and
Arkarsas , out of about thirty similar cities ,
only two or thrco pay as little to their teach
ers ns was received by the teachers ot Omaha
last year , or will bo paid to them next
j-ear. This Is true not only of the rank
and file , the grade teachers , but It Is espe
cially true of thoi principals , upon whose
judgment and skill so large a share of the
success of the different schools depend. The
danger point for us has been reached. Any
further reduction would start the outflow
of our best blood , something which no one
Interested In the welfare of the city , or In
the welfare of the children Instructed In
Its schoo's , would for a moment counte
nance. "
TEMPORARY EXPEDIENT.
The determination to give the kinder
gartens and fliut grades half-day sessions
during the next jrear Is referred to as a
temporary expedient to sa\e money , which
should be abandoned as soon as conditions
Impr6\e. It will make a probable difference
of $20,000 In th expenditures during the
jcar.
The discipline which prevails In the Omaha
schools Is highly commended. Not only arc
the pupils orderly and obedient , but a most
gratlfjlng spirit of friendship and confidence
cxlets both between teachcro and pupils and
on the part of , pupils * toward each other.
Physical punishment Is almost unknown and
In all cases In which co-operation of the
homo can bo secured the child has been
reached by an appeal to Its better nature
While perfect discipline Is maintained , the
pupils are encouraged to Independent thought
and a free expression of It. There was no
fear that discipline would bo subverted or
authority lost because an opinion was ex
pressed by a pupil on some school subject
at variance with the ono commonly received
or because a pupil asked for the reasons
for some statement made by the teacher.
The efficient co-operation of the health
department In preventing the spread of con
tagious diseases In the schools Is recognized
and the report ends with an expression of
appreciation of the good will and confidence
with which teachers and principals , as well
as the members of the board , had assisted
In promoting the Interests of the schools.
Sellout Course of Stmly.
The new course of study for the High
school , which was adopted by the Hoard of
Education Monday night , Is essentially simi
lar to the one previously followed. The most
naterlal change Is the Injection of much more
ilstorlcal work Into nearly every half jcar.
flio course In mathematics Is shortened
somewhat as n result of teaching algebra
in the grades and several changes are made
n the order In which the various branches
occur In the course.

The affair will bo under the direction and
patronage of the bpard of directors of the
Knights of Ak-Snr-Ucn , and the. entlte pro
tects will Lc donated to the cause of sweet
chailty. This was decided upon nt a meeting
of prominent business men held at the Com
mercial club rooms at noon jestcrday. Most
of those present were members of the board
of governors of the Knights of Ak-Snr-Hcn ,
although a few were present who were not
connected with that organization.

cussed at considerable length and It was
decided to ma' < e the Cvcnt ono worthy of
the Imposing and broad title bestowed upon
It. The general management of the show
was placed In the hands of a * committee of
arrangements , consisting of Messrs. Sprague ,
Paffcnrath , Winston and Jardlnc. E II.
Sprague was clothed with authority as gen
eral manager nlu' ' Is expected to nfvmmp
full charge of the details of the affair. Mr.
Sprague , In private life , 1s known as the
general mnnager ot a wholesale rubber firm
but his experience of thirteen jcars In active
service as general advertising man for the
largest circuses In the country stands him
In gael stead in the ptcsent emergency and
If a rough draft of a pester announcing the
show may be taken as a criterion the whole
country will shortly be electrified by the
surpassing richness and extent of the en
tertainment to be placed before the charity-
loving public , "all for the small sum of 50
cents , children under 12 jcars ot ago half
price. "
The entertainment will Include all the
usual attractions of a first-class circus , In *
eluding thrilling bareback riders , slack wire
performers , ground and lofty tumblers , wild
animals , trapeze performers , etc
A number of side shows will also be
connected with "the big show , " and In these

A guaranty fund of $ "iOO was raised In
the meeting to start the affair and every assurance

ter In charge that the affair will eclipse
anjthing ever before attempted In this sec
tlon of the country. The committee on

ABOUT MONEY
What's the use of earning money if you can't get
the good of it , or do good with it ? Money isn't especially
pretty to look at , although one customer did say that
"gold was good for sore eyes , he hadn't seen any in so
long. " You couldn't get a man to work all day for a
couple of round pieces of silver if he couldn't spend the
silver. Men wouldn't get out at six o'clock and hustle all
day long for one or two thin slips of paper if the paper
wou'du't buy some of the necessaries , comforts or luxu
ries of life. It's only a question of how much you can
get with your money after you get it that makes money
attractive. We're taking up a collection of different kinds
of money these days , just so as to buy things with it.
We are giving nurc comfort for it comfort of body and
mind than we have ever been able to give before. For
a $5.00 bill we are selling or trading all-wool blue or
black Cheviot Suits good ones. For $650 of any good
money we arc selling or trading solid all-wool Cassimcre
suits. For $7.50 we are selling some really swell suits
of plaid and checked Cassimcrcs , splendidly made , some
self faced to the armhole s. For $8.00 , $8.50 and $9.50
we arc trading some finer suits and for $10 , § 12 and
$13.50 , in gold , greenbacks or silver , we are exchanging
some of the hnest suits tint have been made this year.
Won't you come and add to our collection of money ?

Hero Is a clever Idea of our designer
Hall Stand made like a great chair. It li
an original Idea and very effectively carried
out.
out.Tho
The mirror makes the back of the chal
and the robe chest becomes the seat. Th
corner posts are carried up in the same styl
so often seen on antique Hall Chairs.
The "shaping out" of the front legs ant
tbo sides of the chair Is one of the mos
effective features of the design. The mlr
ror Is richly framed and the metal mounting
are ot a pattern which hauuoulzo well will
the design.
Special prominence has been given to the
decorative possibilities , and the frame
throughout Is relieved by hand carving In
dcml-rcllcf.
Wo offer this pattern at the same cost as
a plain stand.
