If a resolution which TMUJ Introduced bj
Kicult at the regular meeting of the Board
of Education last night should bo adopted ,
retrenchment would etalk through the High
school like a .Mlsslfifllppl darkey through a
watermelon patch. It practically Involve !

OPPOSITION IN EVIDENCE.
The proposition at once encountered a
vigorous opposition which was based chiefly
on the proposed raid on the manual trainIng -
Ing detriment. The drbato was shut off
by a motion to refer the resolution to the
committee on High school , which prevailed.
( Asldo from this the only reference to the
action of the council In reducing the school
lo\y was the adoption of a resolution by
lliuchanan by which Secretary Glllan was
Instructed to ask the council for n detailed
statement of the figures on which It had
based Its allowance for the support of the
schools.
T.io report of Treasurer Edwards Indicated
ft balance of $95,890 SB In the school fund at
the end of January. Among the receipts for
the month were Items of $201,000 , on account
o saloon licenses , and $2C,310 Dl on account
of state apportionment. Warrants aggre
gating ? 1G5,817.06 were taken up during the
month
The Principals' club came before the board
with a petition that the rules bo amended
to pllow the superintendent to permit notices
of lectuiea to bo read In the echoolfl. It was
turned down without cercmonj A motion to
place the petition on Illo was carried by a
unanimous \oto
A. petition signed by Pat 0. Hawctfand
about 100 other members of the local posts
of the Grand Army of the Republic pro
tested against the recent cutting down of
the repair force Thej naked for the re
instatement of half a do/on of the men d'n-
mlssed , on the ground that they were old
Eoldloia. The matter wad icferrcj to the
committee on buildings and propcity , with
Instructions to meet a committee from the
veteran organizations and ascertain the facts
In the matter.
DON'T WANT FRAME ANNEX.
Two extensively signed petitions from
property ownero in the Lake school district
protested against placing a frame annex on
the school grounds. As the objection had
already been ill iosed of the communications
were placed oa flic.
Mis. Harriott SlacMurphy appeared be
fore the board to urge the previously c\-
prosu-cd request of the Woman's club that
the dcpaitment of domestic science 1 > e per
mitted to use a vacant room In one of the
school buildings for classes In scientillc coolc-
Ing. The desired permission was grunted
and the superintendent was Inrtructed to
furnish the best accommodations that were
available.
On motion of Johnson the resolution
pissed at the previous meeting by which the
superintendent of buildings was directed to
move the Tort Omaha annex to the Lake
Blto was rescinded nnd the rental of a room
near the school was authorized for $12 a
month for one jcar.

ASKED TO PAY EX-TREASURER'S ' SHORTAGE
Trlnl Iloiiln * Itrfore .Tudpre I'nvvplI mill

Jurj ,
Yesterday afternoon the second trial of
the suit Instituted In the name of the people
ple of Nebraska against the bcodsmcn of
cx-Stato Treasurer Birtley to recover the
half million dollar defalcation of the latter
was begun In the district court , The eecond
contest for the big stake Is taking place
before the came bench as did the first that
of Judge Powell.
The case Is by this tlmo well known to
the people of the state. Joseph S. Hartley
was for two terms , or four years , treasurer
of the state. At the expiration of his second
term and when Treasurer Meservo suc
ceeded him , a shortage of $550,780 CO was
discovered In the ofUce. Some tlmo afterward
Hartley was arrested on the charge of em
bezzling the money , was tried In the dis
trict court here and was convicted. Ho was
sentenced to twenty years In the peniten
tiary. A strong fight was made to save him ,
but recently the sentence was affirmed by
the supreme court. That body has not yc\ \
ordered Hartley's removal to the peniten
tiary and he Is still lu confinement In the
county Jail In this city.
A suit was also commenced by Attorney
General Smj th against Bartley's bondsmen
for the amount of the shortage. These bonds
men wcro F. M. Clark , A. D. Clarke , John
H. Ames , N. S. Harwood , Mary Fitzgerald
and Edward Fitzgerald of Lincoln , C. C.
McNIah of Fremont and Thomas Swobe , W.
A. Pa\ton and Ccdet Ta > lor of this city.
The first trial of the case was begun dur
ing the first part of the last term of court ,
commencing in September. U lasted for
some three weeks , concluding In October.
U resulted ta a victory for the beadsmen ,
Inasmuch as legal rulings mido by Judge
Powell compelled Attorney General Smith
to dismiss the case. The attorney general
Immediately filed amended pleadings In
which ho conformed to the rulings of the
court , but all efforts to call up the case for
trial again during list term failed. The
case was finally continued over the term.
AT THE HEAD OF THE CALL.
The attorney general having failed to se
cure a second trial last term was determined
to have It as early as possible this term and
through the power given him by the stat
ute. ? to call any state case to the head of
the docket ho succeeded in putting the
Hartley case there. Consequently when the
present term of court opened yesterday
morning It was the first case called for trial
by Judge Powell acid na both parties were
ready for trial it was set for the afternoon.
At thit time the empaneling of the Jury
was at once begun.
By the end of the afternoon considerable
progress had been made In securing the
necessary twelve men and It Is believed that
the Jury will be secured as speedily cad
smoothly as can bo expected. In fact the
Bartley caoo has been given the right of
way in the matter of a Jurj , a ; > It IMS the
pick of the panel. None of the other Jury
courts undertook to secure a Juiy jesterday
in order that nothing might be Interposed
'ci the empaneli-ig of the Bartley Jurj.
When cci adjournment was taken at 5
o'clock last night twelve men had satisfac
torily passed the examination of Assistant
Attorney General Smith. Consequently whei
the case Is resumed this mornicig It will
be the turn of the deferee to conduct the
examtaatlon. It Is somewhat strange that
In a case of such Importance and magnitude
that eaube was found for the excusing of
but ono of the Jurors examined. Another
availed himself of a right given him by the
o'atutrs to be excused. Thus only fourteen
men were examined during the afternoon
and twelve of thceo gave no roaeon to be
excuse ! for cause.
Of the two excused ono was Charles
Mallander of 3125 South Eighteenth street.
Ho had served on a jury during the last two
years. The other excused was Charles II.
Wilson of 2014 Farnam street. He la an
officer of the national guard and at his re
quest and for that reabon ho was excused.
The twelve men who have so far been ac
cepted are as follows :

street. Ho has been In the Insurance bus
iness and Is now a druggist. He has ( been
p. resident of the county for twenty-nine

with Edward Fitzgerald.

I'liioluiNi * Wilt or 1'lniit ,
After a rather one-sided hearing yesterday
fternoon Judge Scott granted W , S. Pop-
) lcton a temporary Injunction to restrain
10 major and city council from waiving
ho right of the city to purchase the plant
f the Omaha Water company In 1903 In re-
urn for free water service on the cxposl-
lon grounds during the exposition , fcr re
imbursing the exposition tomnapy in cash
or the $20,000 or more which it has alroadv
nvested In laying water mains and for any
thcr valuable corblderatlors.
Tbo matter came up In the morn-
ng. City Attorney Connell at once
equated that It should bo nude a final
iwrlng In order to t ve time and get the
tfilio ffl eucn shape that It could bo taken
o the supreme court at once. Ho said that
3e city was willing to admit all the fccia
ml were alleged by the applicants. , SB they
ore matters of record. In his opinion the
88uo wao purely a question of law and there
was no reason why 1 > could rot be eottled
t ouco IcsteaJ of proceeding vvltb the bear-
Ing on the appllchrtlrm for a temporary In
junction , -which wbfild leave- the whole mat
ter to be fought jover again before a final
adjudication could < b6 reached. Ho stated
that ho would file an Affidavit , signed by
every member of lha Council , In which they
would say that thSy nad not and never had
any Idea of pairing the ordinance which
proposes lo waive' thfc right of purchase In
consideration of ttto water for the exposi
tion unices the proposition was accompanied
with such additional nd substantial conccfi-
sluis on the part btho water company as
would constitute an ttdoqu-ito return for the
concession which the city was aekcd to
make. In fact , hewas willing that a per
manent Injunction should be granted , re
straining the cnunill from pissing this or
dinance , but the question was whether the
council had n right to waive the right of
purchase for an adequate and sufficient con
sideration. In urging his plea for a final
hearing he declared that the exposition
buildings wcro standing without n particle
of protection from fire. Whllo the question
was bolng dragged through the courts there
was nothing to prevent the entire exposition
from being1 burned to the ground.
The attorney for Mr. 1'opplcton objected
to the final hearing Ho said that ho was
prepared to try the case on the application
for a temporary Injunction , but was not
ready to meet the Issue on n final hearing.
The Judge stated that ho thoroughly real
ized the necessity for Immediate action and
was willing to hold extra sessions If the
attorneys would agree to submit the case on
final hearing. There was no reason why
this should not be done , us there was no dif
ference with respect to the facts and the
only point at Issue was whether the council
had the right to abrogate the terms of the
original franchise In return for concessions
which It considered adequate.
At 2 o'clock ypstcrday afternoon the two
attornojs wcro as far apart as In the morn-
Ing. City Attorney Conmell appeared with
the affidavits of the councllnien la accotd-
anco with his agreement and again Insisted
that he was ready to admit all the matters
of record alleged In the affidavits of the
relaters In order that the matter might bo
settled as soon as possible. He said It was
absolutely essential that something should
bo done to secure water service for the c\-
posltlcn grounds as It was without fire pro
tection and It would be nothing moro or Urs
than a calamity to the city It the buildings
were deatrojed by.fire.
The attorney for Mr. Popplcton was not
willing , however , tint City Attorney Con-
neil should admit only his affliavltti He In
sisted that he must also admit the allega
tion he made la his petition. City Attorney
Connell refused positively to do thla , eajlng
tlat ho would then admit that the council
had entered Into fraud when they proposed
to pass the ordinance. Finally City Attor
ney Connell turned to Mr. Poppletoo and
aikcd :
"Do jou want a speedy hearing ? "
"I want this Injunction to go > on In the
regular way without regard to whether or
not the final hearing Is early or late , "
answered Mr. Poppletcn. '
Judge Scott stated tint there seemed to
bo no likelihood of an agreement on the
part of the attorncjjs. He said he saw the
advantage of an early final hearing , but he
could not force Mr. Poppleton to It. There
fore he called the attoinejs to proceed at
once upon the appllcatlcn for a temporary
'injunction. Upon that , City Attorney Con
nell stated that ho would not take anj part
In the procet'dlnga except on a final heating
end shortly after withdrew fiom the court
room. Thereupon the attorney for Mr. Pop-
plPton made his chow Ing for the temporary
injunction , which consisted of the reading
of his petition and affidavits. Upon thlj
allowing the temporary Injunction was
granted. When the court asked what time
he should eet for the hearing for a perma
nent Injunction Mr. Poppleton oild ho did
not wish the cnse advanced. Therefore no
date was set , bat the case will como up
when Its turn Is reached on the docket.

The case of the Carpenter Paper company
against the Western Envelope company ,
which Involves a matter of $4,000 and sev
eral temporary lajunctions , had an Inning
before Judge Scott yesterday.
The Carpenter Paper company claimed a
bill of 53.700 and interest from the envelope -
velopo company for supplies furnished for
which It held a mortgage on the plant.
According to the representation of the
envelope company , its creditor was about
to seize the plant in satisfaction of the
mortgage and on its application a temporary
restraining order was granted. Then the
paper company came into court with the
allegation that the envelope company was ,
about to move its plant Into another state
and outsMo of the jurisdiction of the court
and anothei restraining order was granted
to shut off this proposed maneuver. The
envelope company came up smiling for the
next round and late Saturday night the
court granted It leave to pay the money
Into court and have the restraining order
dhsolved. This morning the court called
the matter up to say that ho had acted
without duo reflection In granting the last
older , as Us effect would be to stop in
terest on the date on which the money
was paid Into court and If the case was de
layed by appeal or otherwise , the paper
company would clearly have no way of
securing tf.e additional Interest. The at
torney for the envelope company could not
see It that way , but the court maintained
Its position and the case was continued with
the understanding that the attornejs would
make on effort to get together.
Fflirunrj * Term of Court OJICIIN.
The February term of the district court
crisned yesterday and Judge SlaLaugh occupied
the bulk of tbo foreuoon In hearing the
excuses of jurors who wcro not disposed to
servo their country in that capacity. Ho
then heard a number of motions In pending
cases and secured a Jury In the case of the
State against J. W. Mills , who&e trial for
highway robbery was begun yesterdaj' .
Mills Is the last of three men who were ar
rested , charged with holding up a milkman
named RaUck , near the Dougl-is county line
last October. The other two men were con
victed at the lost term of court.
Minor VlnttiTM In Court ,
The Merchants' National 'bank ' has brought
suit against Peter M. Back and Sophia Back
to secure payment on a promissory note for
$3,048.60.
Kitchen Brothers , proprietors of the Paxton -
ton liotcl , have begun proceedings In the
county court to oust P. II. Phllbln , the
ticket broker , from the store he occupies In
the hotel building. Phllbln has refused to
vacat" because ho has not been given thirty
da > s' notice.
The old case of CrccJon against Patrick
came up before Judge Fawcott jcsterdny
on the question as tp which party should
pay the costs of the proceedings bcfoio a
referee. These amounted to about $2,000 and
as the application for a referee was made

There is nothing1 exclusive about
O
The Nebraska. No preference
as to customers ; no distinction between
people ; no dividing lines of any kind at
all. Our stock is large enough and va
ried enough to suit all people in all walks
of life. Our qualities include the whole
gamut of price. The swarthy laborer ,
with his tin pail , and his kid gloved neigh
bor find equal welcome , equal treatment ,
here. The Nebraska is not a store for
the classes. Next to being known as a
safe store we aim to be known as a pop
ular store.
