DH9 MOIND3 , Fob. 12. ( Special Tele-
gtum. ) The house hna practlcaly got In line
for the Board of Control plan as designed
by Senator Hcaly and supported1 by the sen
ate. This means a board with fullest ex-
cciitlvo and administrative powers , succeed
ing to all the authority over state Institu
tions that , Is now held by the local trustees
and executive council , as well as much ot
the power now In the lianda of superintend
ent o of the Institutions.
The house committee of seven on the
board of control bill mot this afternoon with
the senate subcommittee and discussed the
Hcaly bill In detail. U developed that the
house committee wanted the board given
advisory power over the educational Insti
tutions , while the Healy bill left these In
stitutions out entirely. The house- also
wanted the board required to visit and su
pervise county Insane asylums , Jails , ixxir
farms , to which the senate objected as plac
ing too much work on the board. Aside from
thtso differences the two bodies agreed on
nearly everything In the Healy bill. The
house members would like to reduce the
salary scale from $3,500 for the chairman ,
$3,000 each for other members and $2,000 for
secretary to $3,000 , $2,500 and $1,800. Tlio
house members were most atrcnuous In In
sistence on the supervision of Jails by , the
board. Another joint meeting will be held
by the committees Monday , and Chairman
Nlelert ot the house committee saya ho ex
pects an agreement will bo reached nt that
thno as to the complete bill.
The legislative committee of the State
Teachers' association has adopted strong
resolutions against the Hay bill for state
uniformity and utato publication of 'text '
books. The committee consists ot Henry
Sabln , chairman ; J. D. Knoepfier , J. S.
Shoup , Gcorgo Chandler , Florabe Patterson
and J. T. Merrill. Prof. Amos N. Currier of
the association and Chairman J. F. Sessions
of the executive cQ'iimlttce also sign the
rcsolutlcBs. They set forth reasons for op
position to the Hay bill :
The power to select a commission for so
lininrtunt a work should not bo entrusted
to one man ; the compensation proUdcd In
the bill Is entirely tnndcituntu to secure
the services of u competent man ; while < lo-
cldely In favor of encouraging luwn au
thors , we tire opposed , to legislation that
will restilct us from selecting tno best
books. We believe tne maximum prices fixed
for books nro too low to secuie the best
works. Wo arc opposed to stutc uniformity
because we believe a law would not meet
the vailed wants of schools so well up the
law now In force , whirh permits cities and
counties to mnko selections of books ,
adapted to their Individual leaulivments.
From information In our possession are
satisfied we represent nine-tenths of the
leading school men of the state.
This declacatlon Is considers ! strong
enough to Insure the defeat of the measure.

to James A. Guest. The case has been be
fore the supreme court nearly a. year , and
the court order of today practically deuiaads
a rehearing o ! the whole matter. The court
specifies a list of questions which must be
rcurgued by the attorneys so that a decision
may be handed down at the May term of

SOUm OMAHA NEWS.
The condition of the streets duriug the
last few clays has called the attention of the
publl : to the fact that very few aprons are
provided nt crcsslngsand especially U this
noticeable in the down-town district. In the
icsldeaco portion such things arc not ex
pected , but a great many complaints have
been made thci lact week about the absence
of these articles -at crossings on Twenty-
fourth street , where streams of water aov-
eial feet In width How on warm days.
It Is stated that the expense ot wooden
aprons 1s very light and that the total cost
for putting In a dozen or two would not ex
ceed $50.
Another thing that Is particularly notlco-
nblo at the present time is the fondltlon t > f
the sidewalks in different parts ot the city.
In many places from two to a dozen planks
are missing , which makes the walking dan
gerous , especially at night. Then , again , to
a. number ot places qunntltlca of dirt has
been washed down from abutting property ,
completely covering the walks. This Is es-
peclaly so In front of the Carroll property
at the southeast corner of Twenty-fifth and
J streets , Although the street commissioner
has a few men nt work all the time , very
little attention has been paid to the condi
tion of sidewalks for the last two mpnths.

In connection with the investigation Into
the conduct ot Teacher Johnson ) jy the Board
of Education on Thursday night last , Rev.
Wheeler writes The 'Bco ' cs follows : "It Is
a matter of congratulatUm that the recent
court of Inquiry held by the Board of Kdu-
catlon terminated In such a happy manner.
The Investigation brought to the surface the
fact that the- teachers and 'Board ' of Edu
cation are a unit In seeking the highest good
for our children , In their education and dis
cipline. It is quite possible for parents ,
without wrong Intention , to retard the ad
vancement of pupils and throw confusion
Into the school room 'by ' inclining the carte
to the child's reoltal of the severity of the
rules of the school. However well equipped
the teacher may bo and possessed of tact ,
wisdom , patience and enthusiasm , It they
have not the grace cf discipline , that school
room Is a farce. Parents cannot bo too care
ful of tholr attitude toward the teacher In
this regard. 'By ' all means lot us encourage
our teachers In the promotion of order in
the school and aid them by the restoration
of discipline in the homo. "

1ST. LOUIS , Feb. 12. Them will bo no
postponement of the sale of the Kansas Pa
cific railroad , sot for February 10 , 17 and 18.
Ex-Governor George Hoadley of New York ,
special counsel for the government In the
Union Pacific cases , arrived in St. Louis Fri
day for the purpose of asking the United
States district court to postpone the sale
and allow the government the privilege of
redeeming the claims of the llrst mortgage
bondholders on the eastern and middle di
visions. Ho was also to ask for the appoint
ment ot n receiver. Dy this means It was
expected that the government would be able
to obMln a better price than the reorganiza
tion committee had offered.
Mr. Hoadley was met hero by attorneys
representing the reorganization committee
nnd the stockholders. They all held a con
ference. The representative of the reorgan
ization committee oltcrod to Increase the
committee's ibid to an amount equal to the
principal of the government's indebtedness.
The offer was accepted.
The gentlemen appeared before Judge Siin-
born In chambers today and announced that
they had reached nn agreement. The sale
will therefore go on.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 12. Attorney Gen
eral Grlggs received a dispatch from Judge
Hoadloy , the government legal representa
tive In the matter of the wlo of the Knnsas
Pacific road , stating that un arrangement
had been effected by which the Union IM-
clflo reorganization committee would pay
the principal ot the government's Hen In
full.
full.The telegram from ex-Governor Hoadley
said the representatives ot the Union Pa
cific reorganization committee had guaran
teed that the government should receive at
the sale of Its Interest In the Kcnsas Pacific
road , on February 1C , not less than $0,303.000 ,
the amount of the principal of its claim.
Thereupon Ifie attorney general wired au
thority ta accept the guarantee. The ac
ceptance of the proposition does not , how
ever , prevent the government from accept
ing any bid In excess of the amount guaran
teed. In the two transactions by which the
government has disposed of Its lions upon
the Union Pacific and the Knnsas Pacific
roads. It receives a total of $61.761.223. $ Qf
this sum , $27,236,512 Is the principal of the
debt of the Union PacltlJ , nnd $31,211.711 trio
full amount of the accrued and unpaid In
terest to the date of sale. From the Kansas
Pacific the government realizes ? G,303OCO , the
principal , losing the balance of Interest ,
amounting to $0,024,107. The amoiMtt real
ized from the two sales is about $20,000.000
in excels of the amount the government
offered to Mko due-Ing the last part ot the
last admlnlstiatlcn.
As to the Kansas Pacific the ofilclals re
gard the outcome as eminently satisfactory ,
Inasmuch as the sum realized , when taken In
connection with the first liens , \\fiich the
government would have been compelled to
bid In In order to protect Its own Interest ,
represents , In tholr judgment , the full value
of the road This silo releases and returns
to the tieajury the $900,000 deposited with
the court in crder that the government
might bo qualified ns a bidder at the sale ;
$7,513,235 deposited some days ago for the
purpose of the first mortgage bonds , and
$0.303,000 which the reorganization com
mittee has agreed to pay. T io entire amount
which thus will be added io the tc-cnsury's
available cash is $14,718,235.

The controversy among the railroads nnd
the draymen ot the city regarding1 the handling -
ling ot exhibits and other shipments to the
exposition that como In leas than carloads
Is stll | hanging lire , but will probably be
finally bcttlcd within a short time. The
matter hinges on the amount ot responsi
bility the Missouri Pacific will assume in
handling the shipments from the local
freight depots of the various lines to the
warehouse on the exposition giounds.
At the Department of Transportation It
was announced some dnjs ago that the mat
ter had been finally bellied and that the
Missouri Pacific wa.3 to handle all the freight
between the local freight depots and the ex
position grounds. But the officials of the
other lines on the following day announced
that although the exposition might have do-
cldud to have the freight handled across the
city by the Missouri Pt > clfic they had not
determined to deliver their freight to the
Missouri Pacific ,
The bono of contention was the responsibil
ity in the handling of the freight , which , In
view of accidents and subsequent damage
suits , Is an Important matter between ship
pers and railroads. The other railroads re
fused to deliver freight sent via tholr lines
lo the Missouri Pacific unless it would as-
aumo all responsibility for the goods after
having received them and until they were
deposited In the exposition warehouse. Tills
Is the matter that IB now under considera
tion by the Missouri Pacific officials In St.
Louis , nnd nn affirmative reply from them Is
looked for at nn early date. In the mean
time the question of what me-ans of trawi-
portatlon shall bo employed for sending goods
from the local freight houses to the expo- |
sltlon warehouse will remain open. Thp exact -
act amount of responsibility that the Mis
souri Pacific will probably assume In hand
ling the shipments mentioned Is that com
monly conceded by railroads performing a
switching business.
