reported with a recommendation that the
matter , so far HA It related to geographies , bo
made a special order for tbo second regular

motion to suspend the rules and adopt tbo
report.
The bids received on geographies were
called fur and read. They were from E. H.
Mutler & Co. , Olnn & Co. , the Omaha School
Supply company and the American Hook com.
pany. In reply to a question Superintendent
I'earso stated that the geographies now In
lire were out of date.
Dennis and Van Glider wanted new books
iclcctcd at once , and Van Glider openly de
clared that the American Hook company was
bahlnd the desire of other members to delay
action. Ho declared that this company pro
posed to have a now geography In three
months and the delay was for the purpose
of bringing their now book Into competition.
Ho declared that the bid of the Iland-Mc-
Nally company , through the Omaha School
Supply company , was tliu only legitimate bid
before the board and It should bo accepted
at once. He was against tbo American Hook
company and be didn't care who know It.
The vote to adopt the report was seven for
and six against and as U required ten tVotes
to tnispcnd the ruks It was declared lost.
The committee then , made a similar recom
mendation In regard to histories au'd this
was also turned down :
ThU left the whole subject before the
board , and later In ( ho session Sears moved
that the bid of the Hand-.McNally company
ou geographies of 75 cents each bo accepted.
FACTIONS UKST ON ARMS.
Lunt moved as a substitute that the board
meet next Monday night to settle the text
book question and this was lost by G to 7.
Sear's motion was laid on the table by a
margin of one vote , and the controversy was
left unsettled.
Superintendent Hanker presented a list of
the repairs -which he consldcicd necessary
on the various school buildings. It was ic-
feriud to the committee on buildings and
property.

as a teacher was accepted.
The next teachers' examination was dated

A ! long petition from the "School Board
Employes' club , " which consists mainly of
the janitors , demanded a restoration of the
janitors' salaries that were In vogue before
the board carried out Its Ideas of retrench
ment. The petitioners contended that they
were getting smaller wages than were
paid for tha nme services In other
cities and detailed at length the ardu
ous duties and tremendous responsibili
ties that devolved on the public school jani
tors. The petition was signed by Thomas
Falconer , president ; J. M. McDowell , secre
tary , and J. Armstrong , J. Kallno , L. Peter
son , J. Chtbrow , George Kelley and J. Nobcs ,

WILL BUY TWO FLAGS.
The committee on supplies was authorized
to purchase flags for the Ambler and Forest
schools at a cost of not more than $8 each.
The absence of C. Davidson . was ex
cused up to da'to by resolution. It was stated
In explanation that Mr. Davidson had trav
eled 500 miles to attend the committee meetIngs -
Ings , but bad been called away by Impor-
tatnt business before the meeting of the
board.
A resolution by Jordan , provided that the
board meet In special session Wednesday
evening , Juno 9 , to pass the teachers' pay
roll and elect teachers for the ensuing year.
This was displaced by a substitute by
which It was decided that the election of
all teachers and janitors should occur at
the first regular meeting In June.
In behalf of the pupils In the manual
training , department of the High school Irey

handsome gavel , which had been turned out

L. C. Irvine , San Antonio , Tex. , who visited
this city recently In the Interest of tlio In
terstate Drill arsoclatlon ot Ms town , has
written a letter to a homo paper , describing
his trip and the reception accorded him. Ho
mnkcfl the following reference to Omaha :
At Omnlm I fountl the Thuraton limes
In dnlly practice for the drill In order tel
l > o rendy In rnsc the Texns cup , now held
by them , shnll bo challenged. Cnptnln l-oyo
wns ns crlm ns n veteran In malntnlnlnR his
purpose to rewln the cup , but expressed
curprlso thnt n clmllenRO nnd not been
mnilc. Steps were nt once tnkcn by the
Urlll nsHoclntlon to cover this oversight ,
nnd unless some misfortune overtakes the
Thurstons they will be with ns fifty stronc.
Much depends upon the rnllwny rates In
nil these cnses , because the Companies hnvc
always had n. favorable rate to Texns drills ,
and If a low rate Is not secured now they
are likely to consider thnt our event Is not
as Important as were those wherein very
low rates were Klven.
Uvcry cinlry secured so far has contained
the condition that as low rates must bo se
cured ns were clvcn bc-forr. . So It will be
peon that our local railways will bo nblo
to make our drill the largest Interstate
event for many years by securing favornblo
company rates. The Importance of thu
event determines the volume of local tratllc
hey will enjoy , nnd hcnco they are as
lecply Interested as wo are In bringing
hrse crack otttHldo companies.
You would be astonished at the revival of
ntslness In Omaha due to the Triinsmls-
slsslppl Uxposltlon. I have been Impressed
\llli the Importance of our attitude In this
natter. Omaha newspapers hivve been the
Irst , most persistent and powerful advo
cates or thu north nnd south trunk line
levelopment , of the value of gulf ports to
ho grain llelds of the west and ot the ab-
olutp mutual Interdependence of Texas and
he west.
Considering1 these facts , It behooves us to
icgln In tlmo our work for representation
at this exposition next year. The Omaha
icoplo as ono man appreciate Texas ports
ind look upon their development as their
salvation. They are colng to lend every as
sistance Incidentally to our drill by sending
the Thurston Illlles down to capture San
Antonio tlrst and then with that Us a IMBC
of operations conquer the great republic for
heir exposition.
They are selecting n strong delegation to
attend the Houston deep water convention ,
and Texas will find In these men stronger
enthusiasm than ran bo found even In our
deep water cranks ot Texas.

PREPARING FOR BUSINESS.
Now Oity Council Holds Its First Meeting
as a Committee.
OPPOSITION TO PEDDLERS' ' ORDINANCE
of the Municipal Cnurt Appear
mill Ank for Uuarlcrn anil
Arc Tut Oft fur u
Week. . - ' '
The first committee meeting of the new
council was held In committee room A yes
terday afternoon and It proved to bo the
most buslncFs-llkc session of the kind that
lias been held In the last twelve months. All
the members of the council were present
but Mercer , and a number of scml-lmr > ortant
matters were considered. Councilman Ucchel
presided.and each chairman of a committee
was given an opportunity to present such
matters as he had In hand ,
A largo delegation from the local retailers'
association , headed by George Munro , entered
a protest against Hlnghnm's peddlers' ordi
nance , which was Introduced at the previ
ous meeting , The new ordinance provides
that licenses may be Issued monthly and this
la what the retailers object to. They urged
that no license should be granted for less
than one year. They asserted that this
would he satisfactory to the peddlers who
had a permanent business , but under the
proposed ordinance outsiders could come In
and take out a license for the oummer
menthe and thus get the cream of "tho busi
ness , while the people who lived In Omaha
were compelled to pay for a license during
the full year. The matter was discussed at
some length nnd the council decided to rec
ommend that the ordinance be placed on
file and that a resolution should bo adopted
by which the peddlers who bad already
taken out a license for six months before
the ordinance no\v In force was passed should
bo allowed to have a license foi the remain
ing six months for $15.
ASK FOR COURT ROOMS.
Judges Magr.ey , Burnam and Ware of the
municipal court appeared before the council
to rsk for quarters In the city hall. They
stated that they had qualified and would
prciseiit n formal request for offices at the
regular council meeting tonight. They had
appeared before the committee In advance
In iho expectation that the matter might bo
considered nnd Immediate action taken to
night. They argued that It was necessary
that they should be fixed out at once , as
when they qualified the Jurisdiction of the
other courts was ended and litigants could
not begin suits.
City Attorney Cor.nell stated that there
was serious doubt In regard to the constitu
tionality of the new law. He had not had
tlmo to Investigate the matter thoroughly ,
but was Inclined to believe that the law
would not be held good. Ho suggested that
the beet way to settle the matter would bo
for the judges to make a formal requisition
on the council for quarters and then bring
mandamus proceedings to compel the coun
cil to act nnd Incidentally bring the ques
tion of the constitutionality of the law before -
fore the courts.
Judge Mccrcy Intimated that the Judges
were not In on that sort of a program. Ho
cald that when they had qualified and asked
the city to provide them with quarters they
had done their duty , and they did not pro-
peso to ln\ok the courts to test the consti
tutionality of the law. They were satisfied
with the law , and If any one else was not
It was for them to take It Into the courts.
Judge Magney added that they were willIng -
Ing to put up with any kind of quarters
until the law had been tested. They were
willing to use such furniture as the city had
on hand , and the only expense that they
proposed to put the city to at this tlmo was
the cost of a seal and the necessary dockets.
The eouth rooms on the' fourth floor of the
city hall would be sufficient for their li
pose.
City Attorney Connell recommended that
the communication -which the judges pro
posed to submit should 'be ' allowed to take
the usual course. Inside of another week ho
would bo able to give a final opinion In re
gard to the validity of the law , and then- the
city could act advisedly. This was agreed to
and the court will have to wait.

Judge J. M. Woolworth returned last night
from a trip to the east. In the course of
which he visited Washington to look after
some legal matters pending In the supreme
court. In speaking of the rumor that the
supreme court had ) agreed upon Its decision
In the maximum freight rate- case and that
Its decision would bo rendered In a few days ,
finding against the state. Mr. Woolworth
said he had no reaon for knowing there was
anything In the report. On the other hand ,
he said he had good reasons for believing
that the court had not yet reached an opin
ion , and that one would not be rendered
until the October term. He said when the
arguments were made in the CJBC there were
ninety-eight other cases which were ahead
of this otic , some of them being very Im
portant , and he considered It an inippsslbll-
Ity for' the court to get through. with that
business in' time to pass upon the rate case
at thi.5 term. , , t
1 'He satQ' ' 'that VJlrJ PcCk.t'g-enoTal counsql
for the Milwaukee road , , had jsent him a
telegram congratulating him on the result
of the"suit' but that the next day Mr. Peck
sent another message to the effect that he
had been misinformed in regard to It , as
his information had been based on an Item
published In a Chicago paper.
As to the possible tenor of the decision
Mr. Woolworth said he was not willing to
concede that the chances were even In favor

eighteen buildings on the block and all but
two of them are Included In the order of
the board. The notice will be ocrved on
Murray this morning , together with the in
formation that If the buildings are not down
within a reasonable time they will be torn

buildings but two out of the way and Mur
ray wanted to compromise by tearing down
part of them and fixing up the rest. But

Low Priced Suits
A whole suit of clothes for three dollars. But that's
nothing new. It's a poor day when you can't read
advertisements of "first class tailor made suits worth
all the way from twelve to eighteen dollars , " for about
two ninety-eight. Our's aren't that kind , The manu
facturers made a few cents on 'em , probably , and we
aren't losing anythingon 'em ourselves , and we think
you will find cm better much better than suits that
are being sold in some shops at a great sacrifice of
time and money , for three dollars or even four clol- \
lars or even five , If three dollars is lower than you >
care to pay for your suit we have some at $4 , 50 that
you would guess to be seven dollar suits , and our
lines at five dollars and five fifty , are the strongest
lines at these prices Uiat The Nebraska luis ever shown.
The Nebraska's second purchases of the season ara now
ready. There is no cheap clothing so good ; no good
