ANOTHER DIVIDEND UP FOR DISCUSSION Action Deferred for One Week and In Meantime I'renldciit and Heere- tury Will AMeertnln Amount of MnlillltleM. The question of paying an additional divi dend on the stock of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition association was discussed at some length at a meeting of the Board of Direc tors held at the. Mlllard hotel Friday nfter- Doon , with the result that action was de terred for one week In order that more exact Information might be obtained relative to the obligations that may accrue. Asldo from this , the board decided not to perpetuate - potuato the memory of the exposition through the medium of a large painting of the main court which John II. Key pro posed to furnish for $1,000. It voted to do nate several paintings that were acquired In connection with the art exhibit to the city of Omaha on condition that the upper | j floor of the public library building be prepared - 1 pared to receive them. The proposition of Mr. Key was submitted by General Manderson , who moved that it be accepted and the picture placed In the public library building. Mr. Key ot tered to paint a picture Sxl4 feet , or nearly as large as one of his famous World's fair iialntlngH , for the sum mentioned. It waste to represent the main court looking west ward from the colonnades , near Sherman avenue. Manager Llndscy opposed the motion on the ground that the board 1ms no right to expend money for this purpose nnd that in nny case the propositions of more * than ono artist should bo considered. Frank Hlbbard also registered a protest. He suggested that the board has already provided for a $10,000 history. Now It Is a $1,000 painting , the next thing will bo a portrayal of the Board of Directors in cast and no ono can tell where it will end. The result was that the motion was voted down by a decisive majority , and If such a picture of Omaha's greatest achievement Is handed down to posterity it will bo through private subscription. 1'iilntlnuM for the I.llirary. President Wattles suggested that it was tlmo that some action was taken In regard to the pictures previously purchased from the collection In the Art building. In order to secure an extensive exhibit the associa tion has agreed to guarantee the purchase of $5,000 worth of paintings. At that time it had been expected that art loving visitors would Invest fully that amount , but only $1,600 was expended In that way nnd the association was compelled to make good its agreement by buying paintings to the amount of $3,300. These have been selected by a committee of local artists and obtained for greatly reduced prices. They are now ITCHING HUMORS Torturing Disfiguring Eczemas And every form of itching , burning , bleeding , oUjr , pimply , nd blotchy skin , scalp , ana blood humors , with' Ions of hair , instantly re lieved and tpecdlly cured by warm baths with CimcuBA SOAP , gentle anointings with Ctm. cuiu , the great skin euro , and full dote * of CUTICUBA KESOIAKXT , greatest of blood purl- Aen and humor cure * . In the upper story of the library building with other contributions toward the pros pective museum. After the. facts had been , explained it was unanimously decided that the pictures should be given to the city if satisfactory assurances should be given the executive committee that they would bo cared for and exhibited. The matter of a further dividend was brought up by Dudley Smith , who moved that an additional dividend of 15 per cent bo declared. This encountered immediate opposition from some of the more conserva tive members of the board. Mr. Yost ln-v quired whether the directors would be In dividually liable In case the dividend was declared and It should result that enough money should not bo left to clear up the final obligations of the association. On being assured in the affirmative , he vigorously de clared against another dividend at this time , Mr. Kountzo took a similar view. He de clared that the association should retain money enough to pay all possible liabilities. In view of the litigation that is now pend ing ho thought it would be imprudent to declare a dividend that would practically require all the balance that Is not already pledged. Tut UIT for a Week. Mr. Uosewater suggested that there Is a good deal of misunderstanding In regard to the debts of this corporatiou. The biggest suit Is that of the Oriental Exhibition com- pany , In which a judgment of $34,000 has been rendered , and to offset which $33,000 has been set aside. This company has of fered to settle for $20,000 , and will undoubt edly bo willing to compromise for $12,000. The other obligations , including all other milts now instituted , can be settled for $5,000. Ho was not in favor of too radical action , and moved as an amendment that a dividend of 10 per cent be declared. Mr. Llndsey advised waiting and Mr. Price declared that the longer they waited the more suits they would have. He suggested that if there was not so much money In sight they would have fewer lawsuits. Further discussion brought out the fact that aside from the $35,000 eet aside to cover possible defeat In the cult of the Oriental Exhibition company there Is about $19,000 In the treasury. There Is also about $10GOO remaining In the hands of Frank Murphy as trustee on account of the previous divi dend of 75 per cent. Some of the directors took the position that since a 10 per cent dividend would only require $30.000 , It would bo safe to act , but others contended for de lay until n more definite statement In regard to the suits pending could bo secured. It waa eventually agreed to postpone the mat ter for ono week , and that in the mean time the president and secretary prepare a detailed statement of the suits pending , running expenses and all other present and prospective liabilities. BOARD OF EDUCATION WINS Knwoott Hold * City Council Mimt Make u Levy Siitllelent for Maintenance of 1'iihllc School ! . The Board of Education scored a victory over the city of Omaha yesterday when it secured an order in Judge Fawcott's court whereby the latter is required to levy a tax sufficient to make up the deficit that has been running along from year to year and now amounts- about $290,000. During the last five years the city coun cil has failed and refused to make the levy requested by the Board ot Education , al ways cutting the levy down. Some time ago the Board of Education brought mandamus proceedings against the city council , asking that the members of that body make the levy as requested. Tlio caeo was fought by the city and has now been decided AS here tofore stated. DeNtltutu Couple Tulceii In. Charles Bray and his wife arrived in Omaha Friday night from Lincoln , whence 'they ' were shipped by the Lancaster county commissioners.

Bray was removed to St. Joseph's hospital and his wife taken in ' charge by the police matron. GOD A PARTNER IN BUSINESS V. O. Strlckler Advocate * Setting Aaldc n Portion of Yearly Earn ings for Clirlnt'M Cause. The monthly meeting of the Volunteer league was held in the Young Men's Chris tian 'association parlors last evening. The numerous church meetings throughout the city were somewhat antagonistic , but In spite of this a select audience gathered. The meeting waa opened by Dr. W. O. Henry , president of the league , who gave a brief account ot the financial standing of the as sociation. V. O. Strlckler was the principal speaker , his subject being "Christian Stewardship. " "Tho subject , " said Mr. Strlckler , "while ono of vital Importance to all Christian people ple , is not generally understood by them. People of the present day believe In God only Insofar as Ho keeps out ot their busi ness. This sentiment Is , however , gradu ally changing for a better one. The major- , ty of Christians do not believe that rela- lonshlp with God begins when life ends. True Christianity takes God into the lives and business of Its people. The true fol- ewer of Christ makes God a partner in his Business by setting aside yearly a part ot his earnings to bo devoted to God's work. And in the proportion that God is taken nto our business affairs Just In that proportion tion will He come Into our lives and will we prosper. " The speaker exhorted all present to adopt this rule and to dedicate to Sod every year a certain definite amount of the year's earnings , no matter how Email. Secretary Willis spoke briefly along the same lines , instancing many cases where the rule has been followed and in not one of them bad the person failed to prosper. Ilev. C. E. Welch , pastor of the Seward Street Methodist Episcopal church , was unable to bo present and his lecture on the conoltlon ot 'the foreign missions in China was post poned till the next meeting. MATTERS IN POLICE COURT To Comjily IT 1 th Ilecent Ilullnu ; of Dlntrlct Court , 1'rlnunurn Are lle- leuNed anil Then Heiirresteil. The greater part of Judge Gordon's time Friday afternoon was devoted to discharg ing prisoners on the motion of the prosecut ing attorneys end to Issuing new warrants for their arrest. This was done in accord ance with the decision ot the district court to the effect that pollcement have no power to serve warrants unless specially deputized. Attorneys for the defense took advantage of the filing of new complaints to ask for an extension of time. In most cases the request was granted. When John Sutton and Isaac Schwartz , charged with steeling 300 pounds of coffee from T. J. Mullin and five butts of tobacco from Paxton & Galla gher , were discharged on motion of As sistant County Attorney Thomas , the court officer immediately placed them again under arrest. An objection was interposed by the attorney for the defense , on the grounds ttiat an arrest In the court room was Illegal. Judge Gordon sustained the objection and both Sutton and Schwartz were allowed to leave the building. They were arrested out side the door. The trial of George W. Wilson for house breaking was set for Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Leonard Marrafflno and Theresa Prafetto , charged with adultery , will bo tried nexl Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. William Johnson , charged with cruelty to animals In falling to provide food and shel ter for a team ot horses , was discharged. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. The proposed charity ball for the benefit of the South Omaha Hospital association Is taking definite shape. Yesterday the com mittee ot doctors appointed by the South Omaha Medical society visited General Manager Kenyon of the stock yards company in relation to securing the dining hall In the Exchange building for ball purposes. Manager Kenyon granted the request and further stated that the company which he represents will bo pleased to do all in ita power for the advancement of the scheme. Besides contributing the use of the hall , the company will furnish lights and heat free. In connection with the ball , which Is to be an electrical one , the doctors have Interested - terested the chief electricians at every ono jf the packing houses , as well as Superln- tendent Dimmock of the local electric light : ompany. It is proposed to illuminate the ball room with hundreds of electric lights placed In festoons and bunches. These lights will be in all colors of the rainbow and the electricians propose doing all they can to make the largo room beautiful , in addition to this there is some talk of placing an Im mense arch of lights across N street to light the way to the Exchange building nnd also lo advertise the ball. If the arch Is creeled the lights will bo kept burning for several nights prior to the dance , in order to ac quaint the people with the fact that the finest ball ever held In South Omaha is coming - ing off. The women of the Hospital association are entering heartily Into the scheme and are doing all they can to hurry things along. No date has been set , but that will bo de cided upon In a day or two. SlderrnlkN In Ilnd Condition. The sidewalks all over the city arc be coming delapldated. This Is not so much the fault of the street commissioner or the city officials as It is the residents. Planks In the walks arc torn up almost dally and used for firewood. Near the corner of Twenty-sixth and P streets several planks fully sixteen feet in length have been pulled up and carried away , leaving holes Into which pedestrians are liable to fall. More daamgo suits come from defective sidewalks than from any other source and the problem Is a difficult ono to deal with. Not long ago the city took to .wiring down all new walks laid , but this docs not prevent - vent persons from cutting the wire and pullIng - Ing up the planks. There is a dangerous hole at Twenty-fifth and L streets and an other near Twenty-fifth and J streets , both caused by missing planks. In some dis tricts the residents seem to prefer to use ) sidewalk planking In preference to any other material for kindllngwood , and as the city cannot stand the expense of continually re pairing walks , holes are to bo found in side walks all over the city. There Is little trou ble In the business portion of the city , but in the suburbs portions of walks are con stantly disappearing , and those who de liberately tear up sections of walk are never apprehended , for the reason that the police force Is not largo enough to protect tlio suburbs In the night time. Something will have to bo done to protect the sidewalks , but up to the present time the city officials have not hit upon a method of procedure which Is agreeable to all. Plan for IIlK Darn. Holmes & Adklns , the liverymen at Twenty-fourth and N streets , have pur chased the ground , C0xl50 feet , adjoining their present property on the south and will erect an Immense brick barn as soon as the weather will permit. The plans are about completed and It Is the Intention to com mence work at the earliest possible moment. The barn It to bo modern In every respect , and although plain , It will be substantial and of the best material to bo obtained. MuKlc City XevfN and GoHHlp.

MEETING OF BUTTER DEALERS \atloiiitl Convention of ANHoelntloii Held lit Sioux Kal In to Ue At tended by Many The national1 convention of the nutter Dealers and Creamery Men's association , which Is to convene In Sioux Falls , S. D. , on January 23 , Is arousing a great deal of In- tcrcst among local dealers. This convention Is of considerable Importance , as fully 300 delegates are expected to bo present , nil sections of the country In anyway Interested In buttcrraaUlng being represented. Papers on subjects of Interest to all concerned will bo read , the Intention being to make the meeting profitable to those who attend. A largo display of butter will also bo made and It Is thought there will be anywhere from 200 to 300 packages entered In the prlzo contest. Judging from present indications , Ne braska will bo represented by about forty delegates and they are going with the firm determination of taking the convention by storm and landing the next one In Nebraska. It is contended that this state is rapidly coming to the front as a butter producer and as the Idea has a f ways been to change the meeting place from one section of the country to another , it Is confidently expected that the Invitation of the Nebraska delega tion will be accepted. Lincoln thus far has made the strongest bid for the convention and If It comes to this state at all that city will doubtless get It. \ MVM for the Army. Brigadier General Kdwln V.

Interest In the Greater America Exposi tion , both In Omaha and abroad Is Increas ing dally , If the number of letters received by Secretary Dudley Smith furnish n cri terion by which to Judge. Hcquests for con cessions are coming from every part of the country. Perhaps the most Interesting suggestion received Is that a patent at torney. He says ho has a complete list of every patent granted since 1792 , with the title and date of Issuance.

Concessions for restaurant space appear to bo in great demand , as a dozen letters are being received dally begging for an allot ment. These come from New York , Bos ton , Cleveland and other points equally far away. A man In Denver asks for an amusement concession in which ho will also exhibit literature pertaining to the Greater America Exposition. Another seeks a concession for the sale of gyroscope tops. A Chicago ex hibitor In the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition , where ho hart two booths in the Liberal Arts building , asks for a renewal of the conces- slon"and urges further that ho bn given four more booths In two other buildings.
