Attain llpcoimnllteil.
Probably the most Interesting piece of
business at last night's meeting of the city
councllmen was the Introduction by Council
man Bechcl of an ordinance providing for
the repavlng of Farnam street from Tenth
to Eighteenth streets. Under this ordinance
U Is proposed to tear up the present Btouo
pavement and replace- with a smoother
pavement probably asphalt. Two Improve
ment districts , arc formed , ono extending
from Tenth to Fifteenth and the other from
Fifteenth to Eighteenth. The ordinance was
read a first and second time and referred.
Fully fifty ordinances wore Introduced , all
but about halt a dozen of these being levy
ordinances , levying the cost of paving and
Improvements that have been made during
months passed against the property ben
efited.
Other ordinances read a first and second
time and referred to committees werq : To
grade Marcy street from Thirtieth to Thirty-
first streets ; to grade Thirtieth from Lcav-
enworth to Mason ; to establish the grade of
Twenty-seventh street from Ames avenue
to Fowler ; to establish grade of Meredith
avenue from Twenty-seventh to Thirtieth ;
to establish the grade of Mason from Thir
ty-third street to a point 450 feet west ; to
narrow Capitol avenue between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets ; to pave Nineteenth
Btrcet from Dodge to Davenport , Instead of
from Douglas to Davenport ; to require a
license of peddlers ol produce.
The ordinance to prevent swindling and
overcharging by barbers , Including also the
minimum scale of. prices , was passed. Ord
inances to grade Thirty-third street liom
Davenport to Chicago and permitting the
laying of wooden sidewalks upon streets
where the srado has not been established
were also passed.
The council took a hand In arranging for
the coming of President McKlnloy by In
structing the Board of Public Works to pul
the streets about the Omaha club , where the
president will he quartered during his stay
In the city , In passable condition. The
Btrccts are paved with blocks , which are In
a rotten and almost Impassable condition.
Such repairs will bo made that the president
can rldo to the building on a smooth drive
way.
I.lttlc rrlenilly JiniKlo.
The tiff of the meeting arose over a judi
ciary commltteo report asking that the mat
ter of referring the Initiative and referen
dum to the people at the coming election b <
recommitted. Councilman ' obeck seemed
to think that this was Hlmily a scheme tc
bury the matter , ns he Insisted that then
Is not time to consider It in a. later council
meeting In order to permit of the required
publication. Ho also took occasion t (
charge that the chairman of the Judlclarj
committee , Mercer , Is not attending to hli
duties and falls to attend the Monday com
mltteo of the whole meeting.
Councilman Mercer stated that ho hat
been present at Monday's commltteo meet
ing , had brought up the referendum mattei
and had been Instructed to ask for more
time.
Councilman Mount supported Mercer li
this statement , saying that ho had hcare
Mercer ask what was to be done In the mat
ter. Councilman "stuht accused Mercer o
being absent from meetings and neglcctlm
his duties. . "If this referendum was brough
up , whore was I ? " ho demanded.
"You wore asleep , I guess , " answerer
Mount.
"I defy yon to say that I nm over nsleei
In council or commltteo meeting , " excltedl ;
retorted Stuht and ho pounded his desk
The odds were against him , however , fo
several other councllmen testified that thi
matter had been up. Finally the repor
was adopted and more time was given th
committee.
Later In the meeting Councilman Lobecl
said that ho was persuaded by the testl
mony that Mercer had brought the matte
up and he apologized to the latter.
Among the vetoes scntl In by the mayo
waa one disapproving an Item of $687.50 1 ;
favor of the Kfopp-Bartlott company fo
the printing of the annual reports of th
city officials. Ho did this for the reasoi
that the size of 'the ' book Is limited , neces
Bltating the cutting out of Important ! part
of the reportB and resulting In a velum
that would bo a discredit "to a village. '
The vet * ) , however , was not sustained an
the Item was allowed because the councl
had agreed , to keep down the size of th
book.
book.Mayor Moores pointed out that there ar
some fifty points In the city where wale
hydrants arc needed Immediately , accordln
to a report from Flro Chief Itedoll. Th
water pipes have been laid , but no hy
drants have been attached. The mayor nil
vised that some of the hydrants now locate
but not needed bo transferred lo the point
mentioned.
.Snrolnl Improvement Kninl.
Mayor Moores also Ecnt In a communlcc
tlon , calling attention to the fact that dm
Ing the rast year some $10,000 has bee
transferred from the general fund to pa
bonds and coupons In special Improvcmer
districts that have matured. This Is
matter that has already been before th
council. The shortages In these special In
provement funds result from the failure i
the property owners to pay their assess
mcnts. The mayor recommended that thei
bonds i and coupons bo bought by the cit
nnd renewal bonds bo Issued for them I
order to cecuro the Interest on the genen
fund money.
About thirty First warders petitioned tin
the council order water mains to be lal
In their wurds. They stated that their ret
rescntatlvo councilman , Stuht , had been ur
able to secure the mains. Councilman Stul
explained that these mains were the one
that had been ordered by ordinance lui
April and March , but that the council hr
refused < o compel the water company I
do the work. He said he was glad that tl
Injured citizens were taking the matter Inl
their hands.
'A The usual resolution was passed , mnklr
It Illegal for any ono to peddle the ofllcli
badges of the Knlghta of Ak-Sar-Ben froi

To quickly solve the problem ns to who
the mpn wns who was with Dick Wardlow
' when he held up and robbed and narrowly
nlsscd murdering Druggist II. C. Graham
londay night , Chief White had the main
memhcrs of the McCarty gang , of which
Vardlow Is a member , rounded up yesterday
ml last evening. All , with the -exception
f Matt Garner , are now locked up at police
icadquarters. The men In custody are : JV.
lart. Will Dlxon. alias South ; Frank Jones
nd Lowell Adalr. Garner , It Is expected ,
vlll ho captured In n short time. From
rnong these men the police expect to sift
he right one.
Lowell Adalr , the last one brought 'n. Is
ho man who was arrested as the acconiili | ° e
f Roy Home , who was shot and killed v.hlle
obblng the store of Druggist Farnsworth on
Cumlng street some weeks ago. Adalr W.H
icver punished for this crime , even though
iorne on his deathbed confer e 1 he wad his
iccompllce. Adnlr is noi thought to have
icon directly connected with Monday iithl'u
obbery , but it is bellove.l by the police that
10 knows something about It.
Frank Jones Is strongly suspected of h.-.v-
ng been Wardlow's companion. The police
say that either he or his brother-in-law ,
Matt Garner , Is the guilty one. The rollre
were inclined to think that William Dlxon ,
alias Wllllnm Smith , wns the man from de
scription , but have now concluded that he Is
not. When he was brought ln ho wns go ex
cited that he gave a very unsatisfactory ac
count of himself it tlin time of the robbery
but after ho calmed down he convinced Cap-
aln Haze that ho was all right. He was ar
rested yesterday mom'ns ' by Detectives
lavey nnd Cormack. He will be held , however -
over , pending the conclusion of the Invest- !
; atlon. "
AVnnllow'n IilenUflvntlon.
It was not until yait'jrday morning thai
Wardlow's real identity became known
Upon his arrest ho gave the name of Fre'l
Smith nnd his address as South Omaha
Wardlow lives on South Sixteenth s'reet
lust below the viaduct , and Is s. member ol
the notorious McCnrty gang , to which th <
"long and short" holdup men recently ar
rested belonged. Ho is a young man
scarcely 20 years of age.
Captain Haze "sweated" Wardlow yes' '
torday afternoon , but was unabli
to get from him more than'i i
learful denial of any connection with tin
iiold-up. When ho wns arrested n revolve ;
with ono cartridge exploded was found it
Ills pocket. This shot , It is supposed
was fired at Druggist Graham. In explana
tion of how ho cumc to bo chased by thi
police , Wardlow says ho met the man win
was his companion , but whoso name he dli
not know , but which ho thinks was Jones
on Sixteenth street. They had me
previously at Mullen's concert garden
As both lived In the same dlrcc
tlon. they started away together
after taking n. drink at a saloon
Ho said they went west on Dodge street ti
tbo High school grounds. As they wcr
passing the grounds Wardlow said he pullei
his revolver , which ho had recently1 pur
chased , from his pocket nnd showed It t
his companion. To test It ho says his com
panlon exploded ono of the cartridges. Thi
ho said , explained the empty shell. Aftc
reaching Twenty-fourth street ho and hi
friend turned south to Fa' < im street , am
then started west on tl street. Whei
they got midway betweim Twenty-fourtl
and Twenty-fifth streets ho snUl ho hean
a shot nnd saw two men running townn
him , with several people In pursuit. A
the men passed ho said ho and bis com
panlon Joined the pursuers.
He said they chased the men Twenty
sixth street , where they turned and ra :
west to Harney street. Hero they dlsap
peared and ho and his companion con
tinned to run west on Harney street.
The two officers who chased them fron
this point to All Saints' church , on Dewe ;
avenue , where he was captured , he say
ho thought were highwaymen , especially s
when they fired at him. His companlor
ho says , returned the officers' lire , but h
did not.
Wardlow was "sweated" agiln last even
Ing hy Captain Hnzo and Chief White , bu
nothing could bo gotten frr ' him but hi
original story. |
Druggist Graham was resti. g easily Ins
evening , his wound giving him little trouble
Ho did not visit the station yesterday a
wns expected , but hopes to bo able to cal
nnd look at the suspects this morning.

In each case they were found guilty t
charged and bound over to the district cour
The t\\o remaining counts will be hear

The two highwaymen made a grievot
cr-or In selecting the vicinity they did i

revolver and 1hat Cook wore no mask an
was the ono who did < the searching ,
James Sip said he was returning with h !
gl"l from a dance at Casper's when he wa
confronted by the two men , who orderc
him to throw up his hands. He said li
recognized the men and refused , Ihlnkln
fhcy were playing a joke on him. The glr

"Murder ! " and was threatened with dent
by McDonald and remained still. On tl
second command In throw up hit hands SI
tald he again refused and McDonald pi
them tip for him. He was then robbed of
a wntth and 5 cents. He oald he bad

waa corroborated by hit girl , Emma Nlrk-
vlckor , who had stood near by during the
robbery.
Anton Franc ) , who was robbed of the
Mexican dollar found In McDonald's pos
session , said he had known Cook for years
and nleo McDonald. He was not , however ,
sure In his Identification of McDonald , as
the mask hid his face.

ONE OR MORE HIGH SCHOOLS

AVhilt IN AilUnlilc. .
Superintendent I'carse has given out the
following statement with reference to his
plan for three High schools 'or publication.
"One scheme is to gel plans for a great
central High school , to be built on the pres
ent High school grounds. One wing of this
building would bo put up now beside the
present building and used lu connection wilt
It. Later another wing would bo put ur
nnd used in the sumo way. Finally tht
present building would be torn down and
the central portion" erected , connecting the
two wings and completing the building ac
cording to the original designs.
"The other scheme Is td erect ono Hlgl
school building at some convenient point It
the south part of the city and another at i
convenient point In the north part. Thcsi
two buildings could , and would , probably
relieve the present building of about one
half the present attendance. This woult
permit the use of the unsuitable rooms It
the High school to be discontinued , mos
of the unsuitable rooms being In the nttl
or In the basement. This , nnd some sllgh
remodeling , would make the use of thi
building practicable for many years , wlthou
detriment to the health of pupils nttcndlni
It.
"Which of the two plans Is better dc
pends on the point of view. If the mos
Important thing Is to hnvc In the city ni
Imposing structure to which every cltlzei
may call the attention of his visiting friend
nnd which will be noticed by all visitors a
one of the monuments to the enterprise am
public spirit of our citizens , thcu the grca
central High school , upon the present site
Is certainly the proper thing. If , on th
other hand , the most Important thing Is t
secure for the greatest possible number o
Omaha children the benefits of a High schoc
course , with the Increnscd value to the com
munlty which such training gives the stu
dent , then It seems equally certain that th
proper thing is the scheme placing Hlg
schools In those parts of the city most dls
tant from the present building. The firs
plan would secure the finer building , whlc'
must bo planned to provide both for presen
attendance and for future growth. At th
rate for the last few years , a High schoc
of 2,000 or more must bo accumulnted upo
the hill In the next eight or ten years. Th
second plan would be likely , within th
next few years , to Increase the High schoc
attendance by several hundred , bringing 1
children who , by reason of the great dlstanc
of their homes from the High school , cannc
now attend.
Wlmt Other CUIejt Do.
"St. Louis has only two high school !
though the city is three or four times a
largo as Omaha. Piobably for fhc reaso
that high school facilities nro lacking I
different parts of the city , the high schot
attendance there is only a few hundred mor
than in Omaha. Many cities much smallc
have a far greater hjsh nchool enrollmoi
than St. Louis. Louisville , Ky. , has fou
high schools. Minneapolis hns four hlg
schools. Indianapolis has two high school :
ono of twenty rooms , nnd one of thlrt
rooms. Kansas City , has three high school !
St. Paul has four high schools. Denver he
four high schools. ' Milwaukee hns tli re
high schools. Columbus , O. , has three hlg
schools. Cleveland hns four high school
San Franeslco has three high schools. Wet
tester , Muss. , has two high schools. Bosto
has eleven high schools. Many cities mcr
tloned nro larger than Omaha , though soir
of them are smaller. Nearly all are inuc
more densely populated , covering fowc
square miles In proportion to populatloi
Several with greater population cover few <
equaro miles than Omaha. In only two <
the cities heard from did the reply favc
the ono high school Idea. "
Vle N of it I'nlrou.
The following on the High school subjci
Is bygone of the patrons of the school :
To the Editor of The Bee : I nm clad
note the fact that the Board of Educnth
Is discussing the advisability of provldli
better facilities for the High school. The
who have children attending the High HCho

a now building and In this connection I d
sire to say that It seems to mo that tl
sugggestlon of two new buildings Instead
ono is not advisable. While It mnv Inco
vcnlence some of the citizens In the subur
to send their children to the nresent loc
tlon of the High school , yet the erection
two new buildings , ono In the north ni
the other In the south , would make It ne
essary to conduct three high schools , 1
creasing the expense enormously and pr
vldlng no better high school facilities f
those who reside In the southwest , west ui
northwest portions of the city than at pre

to build two or three pcnttercd about the

pensive system of High schools that will
surely suffer before many years for lack of
funds to maintain them.
Some of ( ho advocates of three hi eh
schools point to other cities , not much larger
than Omaha , having more than one High
school , but In many Instances these same
cities would bo better off If their High
school facilities v > ere consolidated rather
than distributed.
Tnko Kansas City , for Instance , with three
high schools , yet their facilities nro no bet

concerned , than In Omaha , for the icason
that ono of their high schools IB exclusively

Women , through ignorance , accept periodical
pain as a matter of course and
do not look for aid.
[ A. TALK WITH MHH. 1'INKIIAM. ]
Nearly thirty years of woman's life is a struggle with menstrua
tion. From the dawn of womanhood to the calm of middle life , the
monthly period is the pivot on which the female existence swings.
Tradition handed down from generation
to generation has made some women believe
that this constantly recurring event must be
accompanied by great pain and real sickness.
While it is very true that a certain luff
amount of discomfort is unavoidable ,
those prostrating headaches or dull ,
wearing pains , and in some cases excru
ciating agony , are for the most part
unnecessary and cruel.
The relief from painful men
ses , resulting from the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound , has been proven
conclusively by the testi
mony of thousands of wo
men. It goes straight to
the root of the trouble and
relieves quickly and perma
nently , c
Nature has not intended that
women should suffer so , and it is a
pity to see beautiful young women
fade early in life because of need
less pain.
Mrs. ( iF.OKQE NKiinnosn , of Critlcndcn , Krio
County , KY. . , buys : There is no need for women NJ V
to suffer if they will only take Lydia E. I'inkhain's TKy-
VegetableCompound. . 1 suffered for years with
painful menstruation , thinking there wns no rem
edy for it ; but , after rending your little patnpblet ,
I thought I would give your medicine a trial , nnd
it is wonderful how quickly it relieved me. I recom
mend it for all women who buffer with painful men
struation.
Here are letters from two other grateful hearts :
From the timeiny courses commenced , every time they came I would suffer terrible pain. I
got so bad that I would be taken with fits and would fall. 1 was treated in two hospitals in Now
York and in Middletown. Every month I was out of my mind. I thought 1 would try your Vege
table Compound ; and after using one bottle , I found it was helping me. I continued its use , and
now it is a great surprise to all who know me to see me .so well. J wish to thank you for the great
relief I obtained from taking your Vegetable Compound , and would recommend it to all suffering
women. Miss IIin.KN HAKHCIIK , ! M3 Atwater St. , New Haven , Conn.
I am a girl that lias to work for a living , and am obliged to be on my 'eet a great deal. I was
troubled with my menses being irregular and painful , but by following your kind advice I have found
relief. I shall never regret the money 1 .spent for your medicine. I highly recommend your Vegetable
Compound for irregular and painful menstruation. Miss LAUUA. GnuiiEit , 5th Ave. and Scott St. ,
Lcavcnworth , Kan. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
If there is any further advice you would like to have on this subject , you are
privileged to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn , Mass. Her answer will be free -and
prompt. Remerriber you address a woman , not a man. This fact is important.
