The executive committee ot the Woman's
Hoard ot Managers Is up In arms and the
members arc preparing to resent what they
assert Is a gratuitous Insult offered them by
the exposition management by attempting
to "Inveigle" them Into a scheme In connec
tion with the photographs ot the joung
women who are to form subjects for the
composite picture to bo reproduced on the
souvenir medal of the exposition. They say
they have not been consulted In the matter
and declare rno t positively that they will
hive nothing whatever to do with the
scheme of exhibiting these pictures.
This whole difficulty grows out of the plan
recently adopted by the executive committee
of the exposition" for securing ft model for
the woman's head which Is to be placed on
cno side of the souvenir medal. The matter
was placed In the hands of Manager Llnd-
Bcy of the Wajs and Means department , and
It was decided to secure a cotrpoaltc photo
graph wlilch should bo representative of the
avnmcn of the traiismlsBlralpp ! states. In
order to secure the material for this com
posite picture It was decided to ask the vice
president of each of the transmlistaslppl
states to select the two handsomest joung
women In his state and send their photo
graphs to Manager Llndsey. In accordance
vvlth these Instructions , each vice president
published notices In the papcm of his state
calling upon all the beautiful joung wcmen
to send In their pictures In order that the
most biautlful might bo selected. Reports
published In the papers In the states where
tlueo piocecdlngB have been conducted indi
cate that the women hnvo not been overly
anxious to. tutor the ccntest the number o'
pictures received by the vice presidents
being decidedly small Selections have been
made , howe\cr , In some of the states and
the pictures have been cent to Manager
Llnd cy Other states are still missing , hut
pictures from them are expected In due time
WHEKE THE TROUBLE COMMENCED
Up to this point the Woman a Board of
Managers was- not Involved In the matter in
any way and nothing was said openly about
the affair , although It develops that the
members of that body were not backward
about expressing1 their opinions when called
upon. Tlio trouble came when Manager
Llndsey made the public announcement
through the newspapers that he was securing
the consent of 'he subjects of the photo
graphs to the exhibition , for pay , by the
Woman's Bosrd of Managers , of thcso photo
graphs , the proceeds to bo turned Into the
fund for the Girls' and Bojs' biiild'ng.
Scveial conferences were held In the office
of Secretary Ford , at which a majority of
the executive committee was present and the
matter was thoroughly discussed. It was
the unanimous opinion of the women that
they would have nothing whatever to do
with the project , and Secretary Ford was
deputized to make known the decision of
the members of the committee.
"You may announce through The Bee , "
said Mrs. Ford , "that the Woman's board
will have nothing whatever to do with this
picture business. W'o have not been asked
to take these photographs and exhibit them ,
and wo object most decidedly to the an
nouncement being made that we will do so.
Wo do not want them and will not exhibit
them under any circumstances. The
women have como to the conclusion that
this attempt to drag them Into the affair is
simply a scheme to add dignity to an un
dertaking which was doomed to be a fiasco
when It was conceived. The men seemed
to think that all that was necessary was to
invite all the women who thought them
selves beautiful to send In ( heir photographs
and the malls would bo flooded vvlth them.
The result proves that the women are not
as great fools as the men seem to think , and
now they are trjlng to drag the Woman's
board Into the affair In order to bolster it
up. The board declines to be put In any
sucli attitude and will have nothing what-
ovcc to do with It.
"A woman , may think she [ a good lookIng -
Ing , " continued Mrs. Ford In a spirited man
ner , "but wo give her credit for having more
sense than to want to parade that fact be
fore the world at largo , and the compara
tively small number of photographs which
have been received by the different vice
presidents proves that our estimate is well
founded. "

NEW LEVY DOES NO ! SUIT
Provisions for the Support of the Oity
During the Next Year.
HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS COMPLAIN
Culd Mailc br tl'c Council CIUINC a
General Klult .111 AlonK tlic
i J.I tic SOUK ; of It *
Feature * . ,
However mucli the taxpayers of Omaha
may congratulate themselvte on the com
paratively low levy which was made by the
city council Tueoday night , the officials and
heads of departments whoso estimates of ex
penditures have been thus summarily Icppcd
off unlto In a howl ot disapproval sufficient
to ralso the roof ot the city hall. In some
Mies the protest Is altogether out of propel-
tlon to the Injury Inflicted. In previous jeara
the levy has been publicly discussed. The
heads of departments vvcro allowed to par
ticipate In the debate and every one knew
beforehand wlat he had to expect. But this
llmo a different policy was pursued. The coun
cil secluded Itbelf in the committee room and
each member bound himself by a solemn
promise not to divulge the proceedings.
Then they proceeded to construct a levy , and
with ono or two exceptions not a soul in the
city hall knew what was coming until the
report of the committee was read last
night. "U'hllo the council was thus enabled
to make the levy without being subjected
to the Importunities ot other officials , the
reductions which were made came to the
officials Interested so suddenly that their
protests arc decidedly more vigorous than if
tLoy had had nu opportunity to accustom
themselves to the inevitable.
As usual , the most vigorous kicking Is
being done by the members of the Hoard of
Education. They declare that it Is time to
find out whether the board Is simply an
understudy of the council or has co-ordinate
authority with it. They declare that the
levy of 2.8 mills for school purposes will
not provide the $455,000 which they de
manded , and that measures will bo taken to
test the power of the board to compel the
counc41 to make up the alleged dcficlencj' .
This will not be accomplished by mandamus
proceedings as applied to the present year ,
as the members of the board admit that it
Is Impossible to tell at this tlmo how much ,
it any , the deficiency will bo at the end of
the year. Unless some of the members
change their minds , however , before next
Monday night a resolution will be Intro
duced contemplating a suit against the city
for the difference between what the board
asked for In the two preceding jcars and
the amount that it received. This was
about $62,000 In 1S97 and somewhat Icsa
In 189(5. (
DIFFERENCE IN THEIR FIGURES.
The members ot the council take the posi
tion that the Hoard of Education la the last
body from which a protest should be re
ceived. Thej assert that they have practi
cally provided all that the board asked for
and they figure it like this : Liquor licences ,
$260,000 ; state appropriations , J50.000 ; fines
and licenses , $35,000 ; miscellaneous sources ,
$2,000 ; receipts from Interest and old taxes ,
$5,000 ; proceeds of levy , $92,000 ; total , $444-
000 , or a little lesa than was demanded.
The difference between the figures of the
two bodies Is chiefly that the board made its
estimate of receipts from paloon licenses only
$232,000. In this estimate they did not in
clude $28,000 which was received from this
source in December. The members of the
council take the position that if this Is not
to bo considered as a part of the resources
for 1S9S , then the amount that Is received
next December on account of 1S99 licenses
should bo considered. The board also esti
mates the receipts from lines , etc. , nt $15,000
less than the amount considered by tSie coun
cil and does not take Into account the $5,000
which is expected from excess collections.
The council also contends that some aC'
count should be taken of the board's proportion
tion of the uncollected balances , vvhlcl
amounts to $78,000. and which has not beem
considered In either cstiirato. The board
holds that this does not assist It a nartlcle , as
It already has authority to draw warrants
to an unlimited amount and the theoretical
balance docs not cut any figure iu its finances ,
They insist that the board Is carrying n
heavy Interest obligation through no fault
of its own , but because the council has re
fused to levy a sufficient amount to pay the
running expenses of the schools. Tbejcon -
tcqucntly insist that It is tlmo that measures
were taken to collect this deficiency In ordci
that the deficit whicu la represented by In
terest bearing warrants outstanding may be
taken up and the beard saved the Interest
charges.
LIBRARY BOARD ALSO SUFFERS.
Next to the Board of Education the body
which appears to be most dissatisfied with
thu levy is the Public Library board. This
boird asked for $17,000 and got $10,741. In
this case the difference concerns the ques
tion of a cash business as opposed to the
system of warrants against a theoretical
balance which Is pursued by other depart
ments. According to the latest statement
ot the comptroller , there Is a balance of
? ,75I97 In the library fund of which about
$3,000 Is cash and the remainder a part of
the uncollected balances , recently added to
the various funds. The council estimated
the excess collections for this fund at $1COO ,
which would make the total amount avail
able for 1S98 , Including the levy , about
$22,000. The expenses ot the department
during 1897 amounted to $15,042 91 ,
What the members of the Library board
object to is being forced to come to the
credit system. This was vigorously ex
pressed by Member William Wallace , who
declared that it was an unqualified outrage
that the ono depaitment of the city gov
ernment that had persistently cut Its coat
to fit the cloth and had refused to Incur an
obligation unlera there was money In the
fund to pay for It , should bo compel'ed ' to
do buslnei-s on credit. Ho insisted tint the
fund provided could not possibly pay the
ordinary running expenses ot the library.
Ho was unreservedly opposed to drawing
warrants against a theoretical balance and
this was what the action of the council
would necessitate.
City Electrician Schurlg Is another official
who begs leave to dissent. According to the
action taken by the- council the expenditures
of the electrical department are limited to
$200 In addltlca to the salary of tlio electri
cian. Mr. Schurlg doclarco that If this Is
maintained the department will bo abso
lutely unable to cope with the unusual con
ditions Incident to exposition construction.
He lontffldd that the extensive electrical
construction will nccetsltato the services of
an assistant through the summer. In liln
opinion ono man cannot possibly look after
this work in addition to the other duties of
the office and It considers It important that
cno man should bo constantly on hand at the
exposition grounds to see that Inferior con
struction la not put In and that unless this
Is dene the city and the exposition associa
tion will bo subjected to a very serious flro
hazard. Ho regards this matter as of the
highest Importance wheel the Inflammable
nature of the exposition buildings Is taken
Into account and also the extensive- oppor
tunities for Inferior work that electrical coo-
Btructlfci offers unless the most rigid In
spection Ij nnintalned.
COMPLAINT OF THE COMPTROLLER.
Comptroller Weathers registers a tre
mendous protest because the council has only
allowed $400 for supplies for his office. He
su > o that this amount will not begin to
pay for the bonds , tax receipts , warrant
books and other necessary Incidentals that
will bo required and that ho will absolutely
refuse to have bonds lithographed unless
seine provision Is made to pay for them.
Members of the council state that the dlf-
erenco Is merely a misunderstanding on
he part of the comptroller , as It Is not con-
emplatcd that the cost of bonds and tax
receipts should como out of the comptroller's
appropriation. They say that the $400 Is
only designed to pay for the supplies that
belong specifically to his office and that It
will be sufficient for that purpose.
The appropriation for the maintenance of
he city hall Is $3.000 less than the estimate
md jesterday Custodian Sedgwlck took
he first step In the dlrecticn of retrench
ment by serving notice on the various de
partments that from now on they must fur
nish their own matt-lieu. Building Inspector
Butler kicks because his appropriation will
not permit the employment ot on assistant
during the summer.
The most swecplnipcut was made In the
various ocproprlatlons or the Hoard ot Public
Works departments. City Engineer Hose-
water takes the position , however , that hnv-
ing made a shonlngtof the cost of the work
his duty Is performed and that It the ap
propriation Is Insufficient to keep the streets
end ravements In presentable condition the
rewonslbtlty must rest where It belongs.
Hero Is the way the new levy compares with
these of the five preceding jcars :

T3Ids for supplying the city with street
sweeping machines were received by the
Advisory1 Board yesterday afternoon and the
propositions submitted covered pretty nearly
every variety of modern street cleaning ap
paratus. The prices of the machines ranged
from $250 to $2,500 each , but no comparative
estimate of their merits can be secured until
the engineering department has nn oppor
tunity to Investigate their merits. AccordIng -
Ing to the statements submitted the cost of
cleaning a slxtj--foot street ranges from $5
a mild up. The lowest schedule Is $2.50 per
mile , which applies to thirty-foot streets.
As the lowest bid the city has ever received
for street sweeping was $15 the bids are re
garded as very satisfactory.
City Engineer Rosewater explains thnt In
asking for thcso bids the board did not have
any intention of dodging the section of the
charter which provides that the streets shall
bo cleaned by day labor. His plan Is to
purchase or lease the apparatus and then
run them by day labor. The bids were re
ferred to the engineer for examination ,
after which ho will report on their compara
tive desirability.

Judgment
'As ' vo remaiked In yesterday's Issue , the Intrinsic value of winter goods
Is lessened in Jamnry and rnoro BO In February , anil a great deal If utorcd away
until next winter. This Is a huslncss rnlo ohservcd and practiced hyair compe
tition thioughout tlio union ,
AVe may bo llko the nss In Aesop's Tallies for exposing treacherous con
fidence. Yet vvo sooner accept thu ass tttlo and ho just than ho llko the judga
In the Arizona Kicker , uhoao law Is a 4 1 calllro and his common sense In his
boots , i
The law of this store Is to guarantee and warrant the wear and worth of
everything sold , If , after o person ilnd that the goods can bo had for less
money , nothing Is lost , for wo return every cent of his money. Is this sufU-
clent proof to offset the absurd accusation that goods are marked higher
hcio In season to allow reduction after season ? , '
The law of this "establishment Is to gioranteo the wear of every article ,
or to bo replaced , by a new ono. Is thcro any reason In allowing ijoocls to lay
and rot. i i '
Now JuJgo for yourself. Is tbo store that sells old and shopworn goods at
a selfish price anil abusing others for not doing llltcvvlxe , a public benefactor ?
Or Is the store that benefits the people by reducing prices In order to supply new
goods next winter an ass ,
At any rate , goods arc cheaper hero now than last month and morcso than
in December. And wo are ready to prove It.
