for the purpose of InvcatlRatlns Omaha's
claims to the privilege of being selected

1898.
Jauies M. Greenwood , president ot the as
sociation , and superintendent of the public
schools of Kansao City ; Albert G. Lane ,
chairman ot the board of trustees , and also
superintendent of the public Kchools of Chicago
cage , and I. C. McNelll , treasurer of the
association and also president of the State

nmlno Into Omaha's facilities for caring for
the great gathering which accompanies the
meetings of t ° Blcat association of school
teacheis and othcio Interested In education
The aUent members of the executive com-
mltlco arc Secretary Shepherd , who sent
word that tie was so busy getting out the
report of the proceedings of the last meet
ing of the as-sucUitlon that ho could not get
away from Ills hpiuo at Winona , Minn. , and
Charles U Sk'nncr. ' rtate BUncilntendeiit of
schools for New York.
Tlies-o fixo men will pass noon the relative
merits of the four cities which are competing
most encigetlcally for the honor of entertain
ing the educational association next year.
These four cities are Omaha , Washington , Salt
Lil ; j City and Ls Angeles. All of the com-
nilUi-o i > xctt ) 1'rcsldont Greenwood visited
AVashlngton recently , and some of the com-
n.itteo vlsltad Salt LaUu City and Los Angeles
laat year on n HUH liar mission , those cities
bring aetlvo contestants nt that time for the
onnuAl meeting , For this rcuDon the committee
tee- will not go uny further nest , but will
meet at somu central point , probably Chicago
cage , within llio next two or three weeks ,
as may bo determined by the president , and
will then pass upen the question of location.
Omaha thus has the last chanro at the com
mittee , and this fact was taken advantage ot
to the fullest extent by trio committee ap
pointed to look after the comfort of the vis
itors.

At noon the party rcarhed the Commercial

facilities for providing for the entertainment

discussed at some length. At 2 o'clock the
members of the executive committee of the
exposition met the visitors and the manner
of entertaining the association was further
( llsciisboil , At 3 o'clock the local railway
men , representing the lines entering Omaha
held a conference with the visiting com

given as favorable rates at , had over been
granted It , and that every protection would
he thtown nrounl these rateb This latter
clause had particular reference to a practice |
of the Uducntlanal association of having $2
added to the railroad rate , which amount Is
collected by the lal roads and tinned over
to the association , forming a fund which
goes to cover the running expenses of the
aa-soclatlon. In order to make sure that this
source of icvcmio would not bo cut off the
committee desired to be assured that rates
would not bo inado which would enable
members of tut association to purchase
tickets and avoid paying this $2 fee. The
railway representatives agreed to all that
vvat. asked and the committee e\picfiied Itself
as entlioly satlslicd with the resu't of the
conference.

CIllPll.
The cause of the break In the lagoon haa
found and It Is now settled that the
twelve-ton roller used by the grading con
tractor to compact the bottom of the lagoon
Is dlrectlv chargeable with the leak.
John F Dale } , who superintended the con
struction of the sewei as an Inspector of the
Department of Buildings and Grounds , had a
foico of iron at work yesterday uncover
ing the pipe Inside the lagoon , tlu > water In
the big basin having all run out during Fri
day and Friday night When the fifteen or
eighteen Inches of closely compacted clav
aiid gumbo were removed fiom the sewer
tiench and the pipe unco\ered , It was seen
that two Joints had given way very sllghtlj ,
but BUlIlclently to crack the cement In the
Joints and make a way for the escape of the
water from the bottom of the lake Into the
sc\\cr
In looking for the cause of this condition
It was found that the. two disturbed Jolntj
wore directly In the track of the heavy rolle-
which hud parsed over the sewer ut this
point The track of the roller was plulnb
visible in the bottom of the basin , leaving
no doubt as to the cause of the trouble , and
Mr. Daley was gicatly relieved to llnd that
the proof was at hand that the fault was net
caused by poor workmanship
.Mr. Daley has been a resident of Omaha
for llio past twenty ycMis and has built
many Omaha cowers. It is fold that ho Is
highly commended by the present cit > en
gineer as a contractor whose work may he
dgpondcd upon , and la regarded among clt >
odlclalx anl others coming In contact with
his work is a thoroughly reliable and coni-
potent contractor. He felt aggrieved that
any suspicion should have rested on him In
connection with this particular tower , and
said he had taken especial pains to bee that
the work ! was most carefully done.
The manhole which stood In the center
of the basin has been razed to the grounl
vind the overflow pipe and valve for draining
the lagoon will bu located at the edge of the
bank where It will bo out of sight ThU
work will bo done at once , and the lagoon
will bo filled before ficozing weather.
It has been determined that the lake tlull
bo Kept full by means of an eight-Inch pipe ,
which will bo placed In the bottom of the
lagoon Just east of the island at Twentieth
btrcet , The twenty-Inch main In Twentieth
street is being laid under difficulty , owing
to the presence of water from the artesian
well , but the work is well along. The pipe
for supplving the lagoon will extend east
from the middle of the Island , and will form
a fountain throwing out an immense quan
tity of water which will fill tie ! canal and
basin In short order

Trouble 1111 UN IliinilN ,
The serenity of local freight circles has
been rudely perturbed by the question of
freight rates on shipments of material from
outhlde points into the grounds of the Trans-
mlsslMppl Exposition. Railroads compel
the with ( lie Missouri Pacific from paints
east and south of here contend that ship
pers via that line are. given a J4 advantage ,
The Missouri Pacific refute * this statement ,
and ID corroboratlon thereof points to a
number of Instances in which shippers who
have tequested the absorption of a J4 switchIng -
Ing charge have been unceremoniously
turned down
The Mlbsourl PaclBc has the only tracks
within the exposition grounds and this fact
la at the bottom of the present agitation
The Missouri Pacific maintains a switching
tbarge of $2 for every car handled on its
line up to the exposition ground * and } 4
additional switching charge lor handling the
car within the grounds , maMcg a total of
$ C switching charges Of this ? G switching
charge for e\ery car handled to the expo
sition grounds "all the lallioads including
the Mlssouil Pacific jcstcrday agreed to absorb
serb $ . ! , leaving the $4 to bo paid by the con
signee.
The n.rtter came to a focus Friday after
noon when the general agent of an Omahi-
Clilcago line wrote letters to eas-h of the
other i-ailioids , asking what oroportion of the
$0 switching chaige It would absorb. In
quiry among all the lines yesterday dis
closed the lact that they will absorb ? J ,
leaving ? 4 for the bhlu > cr to pay. The dis
turbing clement in the situation is the an\-
lotj of each lallicad to discover whether any
of Its competitors Is ousoibing any moie than
$2 of the switching charge. Assistant Gen-
eial Prclght Agent I'lillllppl of the Missouri
Pacific yesterday declared that If he
found any of the other lines were absoiblng
more than $2 ho would p-ccced to absorb
the whole $6 switching charge.
Despite the written statements sent out
yesterday by each line to the effect that
It would absorb only $2 there Is a general
feelli'g of suspicion that aomo of the lines
are absorbing more of the switching charge
than thin amount.
An agent of a line competing with th"
Missouri Pacific vestcrday said "This
$ C switching charge Is altogether too high. It
is the same amount the Missouri Pacific
chaigea for switching a car clear out to
Portal on Its line. It ihos that read a gifat
big advantage on all shipments Into .he
grounds from the south and the east. II
any one road Is to ha\e any advantage in
this matter it certainly should be one of the
rallnuto that lias contiibuted something to
the exposition. "

In response to the demand of the board ,
which was made aa a result of a com
munication forwarded by Prank 13. Moores ,

ago , County Auditor Tate presented an
olllelal statement to the Doard of Count )

cording to the figures given In this btate-
mcnt It la shown that out of twentU J
of the thirty-four the amount allowed Is

$2711190 The auditor admits that $15-
1HGS of this amount must bo allowed as
correct Tl'ero nro still twe've claims that
remain unaudited. The amount that the
county clerk alleges to be duo the county
from Moores , which was also Incorporated
In the county auditor's t'tatoment ' , Is ? 22-
31C 80.
When this statement was Introduced the
hoard did not seem to ho satisfied with talc-
Ing it at its face \alue. The members
desired to see Just how and why $12,000 of
Mooros' claims had been thrown out. Con
sequently Chairman Stenberg instructed the
auditor to place the o\ldence that led him
to disallow the portion , of the claim In the
bunds of the finance. ' committee that that
body might examine for Itself.

The returns that have been received from

huh' the qualified \oteis of tne city ha\o yet
registered. Only one day of registration re
mains and unless there Is a tremendous rush
on that occasion onlj acry small vote can
bo iccorJcd at the election , on the following
Tuesday. Hetunib have been received from
sixty-six of the seventy-six precincts
These aio scattered all over the citj , and
may be taken to falrlv tcprccont the aver
age legislation. Theio were only 5,016 ad
ditional registrations in those pieclncts Fri
day , or an aveiago of hoventj'six to
each precinct. If this average was main
tained In the remaining precincts thcie were
about 13,750 registrations Kiiday , making
lu.OOO In all. Tills is about half ot last
year'rf registration and unless there Is a de
cided walchi ? up of the voters next Satur
day there will be an extremely light vote
at the election.
Whllo a light vote is generally consid
ered a disadvantage to republican candi
dates , It is apparent that the falling off Is not
cntirelj to bo accounted for by tne delay of
republican votcis to legls'er. There are hun-
dieds cl populists and democrats who are HO
dlhgusted with the fusion me-,3 that they aie
not taking the tumble to register and a
laigu proportion of the falling oil Is attrib
uted to this fact. This Ib especially true
of t.io popullbts who realUe that the tame
old combination by which they were swindled
out of the supreme juilgeshlp Id being
woikcd over again to disfranchise them In

The candidacy of Prank Haller for the

he secures a writ of mandamus requiring the
county clerk to place his name on the
official -ballot. His petition is on ( lie with
that official , but he has refused to allow Mr.
Ilaller's name to go on the ballot , Mr
Haller contends that although the election
of a police judge Is not an Issue In this
campaign , the recent decision of the supreme
court makes the term of Judge Gordon
terminate January 1 , and that therefore hla
successor ought to be elected. He Justiflw
his action in filing the petition with the
