As a solution of the site dispute the Hoard
of Education Is seriously considering the '
proposition to locate the new High school
building on Olcn avenue on the present
High school grounds. The portion needed
for the now building , It Is claimed , could
bo graded at comparatively small expense
and the money thus snvad In the purchase
of a site could be put Into the school Itself. I
In connection with the plan to build the '
High school on Olen avenue , It Is proposed
to have IllRli school avenue from Third
street to ( lien avenue graded down sumo
twelve or fifteen teat. If erected on this
site , the 'building ' would be a three-story
one In front , facing on the avenue , but at
the roar the first story would be entirely
underground and entrance to the building
from the west side would be at the second '
floor. It Is estimated that locating the
building some thirty feet east of the !
plateau on which the present building
stands , the ground could too graded down .
'
nt very little expense. The avenue Itself
Is several feet higher In front of the prop
erty than the ground Is lor quite a dis
tance back and by dragging the dirt from
the slope down to make this fill along the
street several thousand yards of earth could 1
be used and the amount to be removed tea
a distance would thus be reduced to a mini |
mum.
Uefore finally determining , however , on
this location , the board will have estimates
prepared on the extent of the excavation
necessary and the probable cost.
Those who favor the Oleii avenue site
claim that by a out at the summit of High
school avenue , the gradient on that street
could bo reduced so that the objections to
climbing a hill , so much urged against the
present High school location , would thus Im
removed. Since It became known , how
ever , that the board was seriously consider
ing placing the now High school on the old
property at Glen nvenuo considerable op
position to such a plan has developed.
llllj' Gil Into Court.
Should the board finally decide to place
the "building " there It is said that those op
posed to this location will take the matter
Into the courts. Those/who are oppose to
the Olen avenue site say they voted'- for
the "bonds " on the understanding that the
school was to bo erected In u central lo
cation , and this they claim Glen avenue Is
not. They also urge as against the site that
It does not matter how much High School
avenue would be graded , there would still
be a tedious climb for the pupils living west
of Olcn avenue. Again , the residents of
the First , Second nnd Third -wards are op
posed to the Olen avenue site as not be
ing easy of access for their children. Pu
pils living on South First street nnd the
glous off Madison avenue would be forced
to walk to Broadway , along Broadway to
Park or Glen avenue1 aifil then ma'/e "the
climb of either one of these two avenues.
In 'Winter time both Park avenue and Glen
avenue are decidedly difficult to fravel.
Against erecting the school on the old prop
erty It Is further argued that the building
would abutt against the hill and'during the
summer the heat would be Intolerable as no
( breeze could get Into the room from the
west and very little from the cast , owing to
the ibluff east of Park avenue.
In view of the difficulties of selecting a
site agreeable to all , two ot the members
of the 'board ' are said to be In favor of pullIng -
Ing down the present High school building ,
grading the ground down some forty feet
nnd erecting the new building there. It Is
very doubtful , however , If the cltlzcim would
permit this , as being contrary to the terms
of the proposition which was voted on nt
the recent election. It this was done , It
would be certain to result In the Hoard ol
Education having a lawsuit on Its hands ,
as the people of the wardsnorth , of Broad
way would undoubtedly apply to the courts
for an Injunction to restrain the Issue ol
the bonds ,
The board will meet again next Monday
night -with a view to try to settle the vexed
question.

In his annual report which ho completed
yesterday , City Engineer Etnyro payt
. considerable attention to Indlnn Creek
' which has ever been a source of expense U
the city. Tlifl uptown sewers , ho says , arc
In good working condition , but the "lov
level" sewers nro dependent upon the creel
below Nineteenth avenue. Ho has main'
tallied this outlet to the same level as 1
WHS last spring , but It Is considerably lilgho
than It wns three years ago , and he ha :
cleared away the heavy growth of treci
near thu river and hopes to lower to It
former level by dragging. The channe
north of Nineteenth avenue to Scconi
avenue has been greatly enlarged thu pas
year without expense to the city by per
t ! milling the Omaha & St. I/ouls , thu Tor
initial and Burlington railroads to toke th
earth from the creek to ralsu their track
with , The part of Indian Creek from Sec
and avcnuo north and cast to Seventh street
ho says , should bo excavated and the earl !
used to make nn embankment on either sill
to protect adjacent property. The nrdlnane
prohibiting the throwing of rubbish an
t
garbage Into the creek bo suggests shoul
lt
bo rlgdly | enforced , as the Hood water car
*
rles nnd deposits It along Its entire cours
and causes a more rapid tilling up of th
bed.
r
The city has thirty bridges , twonty-nln
) f
( , of which are across the creek , and one a
c Mynster Springs. During the past year the
bridges at Main street , Broadway , Thin
o
Sixth , Eighth , Ninth and Tenth avenues hnv
0
been raised and repaired at a cost of
0 little over $2,000"and are all now In goo
condition , Mr. Etnyre reports that ho COD
elders the bridge at Bryant street unsal
and recommends that It bo replaced by
steel structure.
NjY new 'bridge , Jio says , will bo neccssar
at Fifth avenue to give a siitllclei
waterway , and as the door Is In a dangei
ous condition , this matter should recelv
CO
early attention nt the hands of ( ho clt
council. The Benton street bridge ah
needs a new lloor and the Iron work r <
painted. Most ot the other bridges wl
need liut slight repalrmeat he rccommciu
that the Iron work ou all should I

Hiy the Terminal road on South Second nv-
nnue. and the one belonging to the North
western railway at Eleventh street. Ami
thn railroads have , IIP reparts , expressed
their Intention to comply with Ibo order ,
however , which will necessitate n now bridge
at every crossing. Hut with those bridges
raised as ordered , he says , there will still
bo n constant expense to the city to main
tain a sufficient channel for high water , na
the rate of fnll to the river In-low Seventh
street Is so low that the sediment brought
down from the hills by the flood water Is
precipitates ! by the decreased velocity of
the current. This Hood water nlso checks
the working of the low level sewers nml
fills them with the pediment , nnd for this
reason , ho says the sanitary sewer nutlet
should bo separate from the flood water
channel. As n remedy for all theno evils
he suggests his scheme of diverting the
water of the creek nt Urynnt street , the
plans for which he has submitted to the
different railways Interested nnd which have
been previously published. If this plan was
carried out the channel of the creek to
Thirteenth street could 'bo ' tilled In nnd the
nine bridges between those two points dis
pensed with by the construction of a flfty-
two-lnch sewer across the street. This Rower
would too uocossnry to carry the drainage
north of the present creek and west of j

On the matter of paving the report shows
that contracts for 30,000 yards of brick pav
ing were let during the last year at nn av
erage price of $1,217 per yard , a little over
3 cents cheaper than any previous year nnd
about 17 cents cheaper than the average for
the last ten years. The home-mado brick ,
he says , has made n very crodltnblp showIng -
Ing , and with the latest Improved kilns now
contemplated , even better paving may he j
expected. Most of the cedar block paving j
has uassed Its usefulness nnd the 'brick re
pairs are but a temporary benefit.
The West Broadway macadam ho reports
ns In a deplorable condition. The cinder
nnd grnvol used for the surfacing has
ground up nnd blown away , leaving the
large pieces of slag bare nnd presenting n

character 'wofl ' recognized by the audience
II received liberal applause.
The etorlce , of which there were two ,
were entitled "Tho Nurse's Story" nnd "A
Box ot 'Bon ' Bons. " The first , which wn a
sweetly pathetic little story , was recited by
Miss l.eona iBoohler , It being licr first ap
pearance ns an elocutionist. Her tolling ot
the llttlo simple story taken from an Inci
dent connected iwlth one of the hospitals
here showed that she has more than ordi
nary elocutionary talent , especially when
she assumed the voice ot the sick child.
The second story'was ' a complete opposite ,
being full ofhumor - and relating the di
lemma that n young man got Into by send
ing his sweetheart n box cf ! bon bens that
ho had Intended for another. The story wa ?
told .by ( Mrs. iM. Wollnmn , who Is well

lotvn 10(1 Iturlfil Comment *
AVnturloo Courier : It Is snld the Gear
nnd Cummins managers have agreed to let
the republican state convention determine
which of the two Is Its choice for United
States senator. That Is ouo steu towards
Retting the selection of n senator nearer to
the people , where it properly belongs.
Creston Gnzctte : It Is n common nrnctlce
of the newspaper friends of Mr. Cummins
and his candldacv for the senatorshlo to
nssert Mint the young men of lown nro en
grossed in his welfare nnd that this element
of the party Is with him , * rather than with
Senator Gear. This theory must be nn "over
In the next county" sort of nn affair , for
It would be n work of exceedingly Kreat
difficulty , taking this section of the state
for nn example , to sustain this claim. On
the contrary , , as the matter comes within
the ordinary experience nnd observation , we
believe that , the great number of the young
men who take an Interest In nolitlcs have
nn affecticn for Senator CSear of which no
other public man in the stntc Is possessed.
Thu old commoner has Hindu It one of this
duties of his life to look after the young
nuiii , to know them when ho meets them ,
and to respond to their needs ns they hnvii
been brought to his attention. He has been
a lender nnd guide to ninny of them , nnd has
been always helpful to the young men. Just
ns ho has to nil his constituents wheneveft
they have nppcnled to him.
Dubuquc Times : The DCR Molnes Cnpltnl
notes with some nppcarance of nlarm and
Indignation n rumor that ex-Congressman
George I ) . Perkins of Sioux City Is about to
enter the contest for the senatorshin. It
assumes that Mr. Perkins' candidacy. If
tendered , will be in the interest of Mr. Gear ,
and surmises thnt other candidates mav
spring up In other parts of the state to
defeat the demand of the people that the
senatorial togn shall be awarded Mr. Cum
mins. The Capital's fenrs mny have some
foundation. If there nro othnr men In the
stnto who lin.iRlne their right to aspire to
the senntorshlp Is na good na Mr. dear's
or Mr. Cummins' , the lattcr's ninnnKprji took
the very course best calculated to bring
them to the surface \\hcn they proposed
preliminary elections In each legislative dis
trict nnd In the state convention. In the
projcneo of such a proposition , which Mr.
Cummins' friends nro still urging , every
man who believes himself within striking
distance of the lightning will bo tempted to
give a little attention to his own district
at least , and before convention ilnv nrrlvi\
the Fifth , Sixth. Eighth , Ninth. Tenth and
Eleventh districts nuiv enter the competi
tion of which the First nnd Seventh have
enjoyed n monopoly for over n venr. If tho'
proposition to submit the matter to the
slate convention hnd been made at nubun.no
last fall half n dozen cnndldatnt might have
developed before this.
Davenport Republican : In another column
of this page appears nn article giving the/
views of one ot Davenport's leading repub
licans regarding the Bcnutorlnl nltuatlon , to
Which wo respectfully call the attention ol
our renders. The sonnlorlnl question has
become decidedly warm , nnd while the Ho-
publtcnn linn had nn opinion upon the sub
ject , wo have not doomed It host that the
senatorial campaign should bo launched nt
nn early dnto , nnd for this reason hnvo ro-
frnlncd from expressing ourselves. Now
that there seems to bo a determination on
the part of the party prow nnd the candi
dates themselves to rnminencu the campaign ,
we bcllovo It no more than right that thg
friends of the respective candidates should
titato their position. Senator Clear hns long
boon n whcolhorse In the ranks of repub
licanism. Ho has been In mnnv a hard
fought campaign. He has helped the party
to win victories on ninny : i political field.
He has falrlv nnd honorably won the tltl
of "Old UuslnoFn. " As our correspondent
above mentioned stales , ho hns been elected
governor of this great stnto , nnd probably'
no other man In the state nt the tin * ot
his election would have nchlovcd the vic
tory ho won. Ho hns honored the pnrtv In
tttnto matters , nnd the party hns honored
lit UK Who ipurty hns elected him to the
highest ofllce In Its gift , the United Stntes
senatorshlp , nnd the senator has honorably
and faithfully performed the duties of the
olllce. These nro facts which none even
the political opponents of the senator , will
dispute , nnd under certain conditions It
would bo rightnnd Just to give the senator
another term In the United States semite ,
but nnfortunntoly they do not exist. The
; senator Is nn old man. older than ninny men
of his yenrs , because of physical Infirmities.
He has suffered one stroke of paralysis , and
all acquainted with the nature ot thnt dis
ease know thnt n man of his nco and In hi *
physical condition Is liable to suffer another
attack nt nny time , and thnt another attack
! means , almost to n certalntv. either entire
i helplessness or death. While It Is not nmong
: the probabilities , it is nt least n possibility
some stnto elections before the exnlrntlon of
( another senatorial term mav be democratic ,
i nnd In such nn event Senator Clear might
! nt Jitpt such an Inopportune time bo dls-
i nblcd by disease , or worse , die from Its *
effect.
