Elds for the construction of Iho now Cass
nchool the , first of the school buildings
which arc to bo erected this year will bo
received until S o'clock p. in. on May 29 ,
and the award of the contracts will bo made
nt a special meeting of the Board of Edu
cation on the evening of that date. Secre
tary Glllan of the board will publish the ad
vertisement for the bids at once. This was
decided upon at n spcclnl session ot the
board last night.
While the purpose of this special meeting
was to settle this matter , as well M to
niako some slight modifications In the speci
fications for the building as submitted by
Architect Latcnscr , the board spent but a
few moments upon It. The greater part
of the evening was devoted to Iho consider
ation of the Improvement of the High school
grounds. The discussion of this matter was
precipitated by a report from Landscape
Architect Ulrlch , who laid out the grounds
of the exposition last year and Is retained
for similar work on the exposition grounds
this year.
To Cut HIMVII ( lie HIM.
Mr. Ulrlch visited the grounds recently In
company with some of the board members
and made a thorough examination ot them.
AH n result of his Investigation ho submit
ted plans by which tome twenty foot will
bo sliced off the top ( if the hill. K this cut
Is made , the level of the grounds on the
south will be about oven with the Dodgr
street retaining wall ; on the west It will
run from this level at Twenty-second and
Dodge to a depth seven feet below Twenty-
second at the corner of Davenport ; on the
north the grounds will run from this depth
to the grade of Davenport street near
Twenty-first ; on the cast the level of the
grounds will be about 200 feet above
Twentieth street.
This recommendation was made , as Mr ,
Ulrlcli sold , on his understanding that
Dodge street Is to bo graded down , which
would nlsb result In the cutting down of
Intersecting Btrcels. If this giadlng Is not
done on these streets , Mr. Ulrlch said that
ho would not advise such a cutting of the
hill because It would bring the level of the
grounds below the street grade. Before any
f thing Is done ho etrongly advised that no
action bo taken until a very caretul cxatnlna
tlon of the situation Is made.
Mr. Ulrlch did not go much Into detail
on his plans , ns ho did not have sulllclcnt
tlmo to consider the situation carefully. He
said , however , that If the twenty-foot cut
Is'mado , the 200-foot ( ( scent on the east eldo
of the ground should bo mounted by three
terraces , which will glvo a gradual and easy
ascent by otatrs. Ho also advised that the
new building bo moved back twenty-five or
thirty feet to the west , so that a level plot
about forty feet In width shall lie In fronl
of the building. This will not destroy the
athletic field nt the west end , as It will re
main 250 feet In width. In fact , Mr. Ulrlch
said that the grounds will contain much
mere actual space as a result of the cut.
The landscape architect was given a vote
rf thanks for his work , ns ho states that
ho did not Intend to present a bill. After
omo discussion , a motion was made thnt ho
he employed to lay out a plan of the
; grounds on the basis of n twenty-foot cut
but It was finally decided not to settle this
P matter until It could ho more thoroughly
considered , especially regarding1 the possi
bility pMhe jratllpg'Of Dodge < atreet. There
fore the whole matter was turned over to a
tpeclal commlttco with Instructions to re
port at the next meeting. The committee
consists cf Black , Hay ward and Hess.

Omaha public school buildings will In the
future carry their names In bolcl-faced typo
Instead < f being labeled simply "public
school. " cs In the past , each will have Its
name cut In stone. The first school t <
-come under this now rule will bo the Cass
street building , which will be known as
"Cass school. " This was decided upon be
cause it was stated that many Omaha cltt
zcns do not know the schools In the city.
The bond of Architect McDonald In th <
sum of $10,000 , furnished by the Natlonu
Surety company , was referred.
The old Long school nnnex , which wns re
cently partially destroyed by fire , was ordered
dored repaired and removed to the Lothrop
school site. The building will bo used to
relieve the attendance at bath the Lothrop
and Lake schools. With this annex so lo
catcd , the board will not need to rent store
buildings for a Lake school annex , as I
does now. The board also ordered the For
Omaha annex repaired and removed to the
Saratoga school. This wlU'ennblo the bean
to establish an eighth grade class at th
Saratoga school , as north side residents
have petitioned.
School Hoard
According to the report of the city treas
urcr the balance In the school fund on May
1 amounted "to but $1.220.41 , against wblcl
stand Interest-bearing warrants to th
amount of $5,332.77.
An Invitation to the board members to
participate as n body In the Memorial day
service ! ) of the Grand Army of the Rcpubll
was accepted.
J. S. Stone resigned ns Janitor of the
Windsor school nnd John Cnso was appointed

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The feature of last nlglit s council meetIng -
Ing was a tilt between Counctlmen Johnston
and Kelly In regard to the sale of $70.000 of
fui 'ng ' and refunding bonds. Tralnor of the
finance committee reportol that the com
mittee had negotiated the sale of the bonds
In question at G per cent Intercut and a
bonus of $350 , Cashier Morlarty of the Pack
ers' National bank having agreed to take the
nnmo nt the figures mentioned. As soon as
tlio report wns read Johnston moved that It
l.o adopted and this brought Kelly to his
fee ! . Ho asserted thnt the city ought to
make a much bettor bargain and suggested
that the city clerk be authorized to adver
tise for bids for the bonds.
In reply to Mr. Kelly's statements , John
ston called attention to the sale of $35,000
of funding bonds and $12,000 of refunding
boiidn Inst fall. The records showed , John
ston asserted , that Kelly liad been one of
the prlmo movers In this sale and that bids
were not advertised. In addition to this
thcso bonds were refunded at C per cent in
terest , whllo the rate now offered by the
finance commlttco was 1 per cent lower and
n premium greater thnn that of last year.
The two ordinances authorizing ttio sale of
last year's bonds , Johnston said , wore passed
under n suspension of the ruled and he
could not understand why any objections
could bo raised at thla tlmo when the rate
of Interest was lower and the bonus larger.
Furthermore , the commlttco of last year
which was In charge of the bond transac
tion bad not snld ono word In Its report
about ttio amount of Interest , mciitlonlnR
only the premium. In conclusion , Johnston
assorted that Omaha and South Omaha bank
ers had told him that these bonds could
havo' been easily placed last fnll at r > per
cent , which would have meant a saving lethe
the city ot $1,700.
In reply Kelly called on Trninor , but thnt
Individual refused to become mixed In the
argument and reeumed his scat after saying
that Kelly wns n member of the body a
year ago'the s.nmo as he'was. In defense of
his position Kelly then said the matter had
been referred to the mayor , city treasurer
and ttio finance committee. Ho could not
understand why Johnston declined to adver
tise for bids as Is customary In other cities.
Johnston denied that this was the universal
custom and especially In South Omaha. He
further asserted that Kelly had made no
attempt to advertise for bids a year ago and
ho could not understand his anxiety in that
regard this year. Kelly then alleged tlini
Johnston had control of n combine In the
council and was working It for all It was
worth.
This riled Member Fltle from the Second
ward and ho seized the opportunity to sa >
n few kind words In reply. Ho asserted that
Kelly had not only insulted himself but the
other members. As far as his vote went ho
voted on his own convictions and did not
allow nnyono to dictate to him. When this
llttlo war cloud had blown over the differ
ence of opinion was referred to the city
attorney that either the finance committee
hnd a right to act or the council could ad-
vcrtlso for bids as It saw flt. The roll was
then called on the adoption of the report ot
thu committee which recommended that the
sale of the $70,000 bonds bo made to F. J.
Morlarty at the rate of interest and pre
mium mentioned. This wns carried and the
bonds will be renewed as per the commit
tee's recommendation.
In connection with the matter of keeping
a check on the acting street commissioner ,
It was decided to 'havo ' a set of blanks
printed so that Mr. Hess can make a dnlly
report to ( tie city clerk of all work done and
all material used. It Is expected by this
method to keep n close check on nil material
and work done In the street commissioner's
department.

Mr. Bennett plated that the council had been
very lonlent with some of the llquqor deal
ers but those who had paid were complain
ing at the Injustice. Ho therefore proposed
to see that all saloon keepers paid In the
regular fee or closed their doors.
Johnston brought up the mutter of the
city's livery bills. He stated that these bills
had been averaging $100 per month for borne
months and suggested a check. A resolu

sult of the trip , the time consumed and the
cost of thfi rig was carried and the
council adjourned until next Monday night.

Bailey for a ranchman named Morris In
Dundy county. One day Bailey disappeared
and no trace could bo secured of him. His
body was finally recovered from the Re
publican river and It was found that he
had been killed by a load of buckshot. Sus
picion rested upon Bush and he was taken
into custody. Owing to his ago It was not
believed possible for him to have killed the
old man , so ho was discharged at the pre
liminary examination : Since then more
evidence has been secured which , It is be
lieved , will convict him of the crime. Ho
was located In Denver , placed under arrest
and Is now awaiting trial In Benkelman.
C. L. Will of Benkelmnn came to Omaha
to sec If ho could locate Bush's parents.
He was unable to obtain any trace of them ,

In refusInK the application Tlayor Moorcs
said It had been duly considered , and after
reviewing the opinion of Assistant City At
torney Scott rewarding the statute under
which It was made , the board had voted
unanimously to deny It. Ho explained that
the law as handed down by the city attorney
Is that a license cannot bo granted to any
person or corporation other than as an In
dividual.
When the question of the llncenso came up
for consideration protests weremade by
committees from the Women's club and thu
Women's Christian Temperance union. Mrs.
M. G. Andrews , representing the union , nskcd
that her protest be pccordcd , although too
late to bo legally considered. It wns made
on the technical grounds that a license Is
unlawful under an enactment regarding the
sale of liquors on fair grounds. The sec
retary was Instructed to record a verbal
protest.

Dr. George Tllden , representing the Wo
man's club , were granted a similar privilege.

The most critical smokers in America arc smoking the CAPADURA
five-cent cigar. Many who have never before smoked a nickel cigar , ami
many who have insisted that nothing but an imported jcigar could suit their
fastidious tastes , agree that the CAPADURA is a perfect cigar in every
sense of the word.

have to be poorer. s
Every CAPADURA pouch contains an inside wrapper of waxed
paper , which keeps the cigar always fresh.
Don't buy alleged CAPADURAS that arc not packed as shown in
