The grade recommended by the special

The committee on heating nnd ventilation
recommended repaint on the heating plants
of all the various school buildings , aggre
gating an expenditure of $2,200. These re
pairs had been recommended to the commit-
tco by Superintendent or Buildings Banker
C and the report was adopted by the 'board
< without dlocusslon. Tha committee on build
ings and property recommended repairs on
the varloim buildings amounting In all to
48,510. This figure Included the estimated
cost of following Superintendent Banker's
recommendation that the. dry closet system
in the Saratoga , Columbian , Windsor ami
Lathrop schools bo mipplnntcd by modern
sanitary plumbing. This recommendation
was seconded by the committee.
The board found It necessary to dlvldo
the rcoort. The repairs exclusive of the
change In the plumbing were approved.
'After1 considerable discussion on the recom
mendation to take out the dry closet sys
tem , durlnc which it was stated that the
cost would be about $700 per school , the
aocrotary was Instructed to obtain bids
on the work , the recommendation being
laid over.
Member Scars wnntcil the board to have
the Bancroft school painted , but the board
was unwilling.
Member 'Hess ' moved that metallic cell-
Ings bo put In eight rooms of the Kelloni
ochool at an estimated cost of JSOO. The
motion prevailed.
On motion of Cowio the time In which
bids on the illlgh school were to be sub
mitted was extended until July 31.
Before the meeting of the board the
committee on supplies opened bids on sta
tionery. On pens nml pencils the bidding
was very closer the Eagle Pencil [ company ,
the Dlxon Pencil company and the Ksta-
< brook Pen company being represented by
gents , though they bid through local
fines. The secretary waa Instructed to
tabulate the bids , which will bo further
considered in committed and reported upon

OBJECT TO THE PEST HOUSE
\Vonlnldcrx Are Determined Hint It
Hhnll Not lie Located on the
Poor Knrm.
The prospects are excellent that Mayor
Mooros will have the hottest lot of callers
this morning that ho has received on his
/ Brussels for some time. The party will
' eon lst of property holders of the Seventh
, t
tT vard , who will enter a vigorous protest
tV
V against the removal of the pest house from
Fontanello park to the county poor farm
nt Forty-second and Center streets. Not
only will they make a formal demonstra
tion , but If necessary they promise to resort
to the lav ; and 'procure an Injunction , re-
ntralnlng the city authorities from locating
it In their bailiwick.
All the hullabaloo was started by the
West Slrto Improvement club. At the meet
ing last night the committee , consisting of
Jamra W. Ellcr , Councilman Mount and Ed
ward Walsh , reported that they had vlltcd
Mayor Moorcs In compliance with the In
structions of the club to tell him that the
west elders would not get up a formal wel
come for the pest house and receive It
with a choir armed with harps when the
Authorities prepare to drop it down among
them. Idler elated that Mayor Moore-3 had
Informed the committee that a protest wotilt'
< lo no goal bi'causo the board hail decided
to place the < bulldlng now In Fontancllo
park on the corner of the poor farm , with
< hc consent of the county commissioners , and
no action l o club might take would have
nny Influence on thorn. Ho and the re
mainder of the Board of Publlo Works had
1/ocome weary of the constant agitation con
cerning the pest house and had made up
their minds to end It ,
Councilman Mount stated that to the best
of bis knowledge no formal action bud over
been taken 'by the Board of Public Works ,
though he lutd made an Investigation. Then
he tried to find If the county commissioners
had given them permission to place the
building on the corner of the poor farm ,
Again bo said he found no record and If the
commissioners had acted It was without giv
ing the customary notice.
Councilman Stuht of the First ward , who
owns some property In the Seventh ward ,
enld be was opposed to the removal of the
pett housp. It was located , in his estima
tion , In the most available part of the city
now , Situated In the center of a cow pasture
consisting of 160 acres It 1 * to far from
the people of that vicinity that no ono U
damaged by It.
After considerable discussion , In which
nearly every member of the club expressed
Ills disapproval of the proposed addition to
Ills neighborhood , It was decided that a com
mittee of fifteen , headed by Eller , Councilmen -
men Mount and Stuht , should call upon
Mayor Moores this morning and Inform him
th t they did not propose to have the pest
hout 6ft the west > ldp. They * ill further
Inform him that It au attempt Is made
to move It to the poor farm they will ask

ceive any relief from the courts they prom-
lie to take tbe law Into their own hands
x
atii tear the building down , as they avow
their Intention of keeping It'off the poor
farm At eny cost.
A finance committee of six members was
appointed to rnlso funds to take the matter
Into the courts. This committee waa au
thorized to retain J. W. Ellcr and what
ever other attorneys they may sec fit to
conduct the case. Quite a Bum has been fub-
Rcrtbod already nnd no trouble Is anticipated
In raising moro titan enough to make a

Sheely block. This meeting of the execu
tive council Is of moro than ordinary Im
portance as some radical changes MO con
templated. The members of the council
who will be present at the convention are ;

on the board of managers which will be
filled during the coming session.
The order , now In the ninth year of Its
existence , la branching out nnd growing
with such vapidity that It has been thought
advisable to make arrangements for an
emergency. At the meeting of the uuprcmo
body held in Memphis last March It was
decided that the rate should be raised In
order that a reserve fund could bo main
tained in the treasury. Heavy drafts on
the benellclary fund were always unde
sirable. A now rate will be formulated by
the council.
The question of the erection of a temple
will also comp up for discussion. Columbus ,
St. Louis and DCS Molnta are preparing to
glvo Omaha a stout fight. St. Louis has
already made the order an offer of n slto
but It Is not probable that It will be ac
cepted owing to Its distance from the cen
ter of the city. John T. Yntes , the sov
ereign clerk of the order , la an old citizen
of Omaha and Is working or the location
of the temple hero. For some time the
Commercial club lias had under consider
ation a proposition to donate a site In or
der that the headquarters might not bo
removed from the city. A special com
mittee has had the- matter In hand , and
Mr. Yates thinks that a favorable offer will
bo made to the council before the con
clusion of its meeting.
The Woodmen of the World Is one of
the few beneficiary organizations of the
country founded on the mutual help plan
that have mtt with success from the start.
It Is the product of Omaha , nnd IH an out
growth or national development of the Or
der of Woodcraft. H was organized In 1890
by John Cullen Hoot. From practically
nothing it has sprung to be u gigantic or
ganization with 175,000 members. There
are three divisions the Canadian , with
headquarters at London , Ont. , the Pacific ,
with Its main offices In Denver , nnd the
Sovereign , the original body , with Its head
quarters in Omaha. Moro than half the
membership areIn the Sovereign district.
In these three Jurisdictions are three thous
and camps , which handle $2,000,000 per year.
The treasurer's report shows that $2,000,000
have been paid out for deaths since Its
Inception. There are 7,000 members in the

'Bids ' for repairing ( he nsphalt pave
ment on Twenty-fourth street will be re
ceived by the city clerk ip to noon of July
17. The city council advertised for bids for
this work some weeks ago , but as only one
bid was filed no notion was taken. An
effort Is to be made to hnvo more than
one of the asflhnlt companies submit bids
thin time. Hlds will also bo received up
to noon of JtJy ( 17 for laying permanent
sidewalks In the districts already created.
Quito a number of property owners have
evidently decided not to wait for the city
to do tills work and chareo the cool to the
property , but arc lettlnc contracts now.
The new permanent sidewalk district In
cludes both sldce of Twenty-fourth street
from J to N streets and both sides of Q
street from Twenty-fourth to Thirty-third
streets.
In the matter of the Twenty-fourth street
pavement bids for repairing the street once.
and nlso for keeping It In repair for a term
of years arc nskcd tor. It IB thought that
better rates can possibly bo obtained If a
contract fa let for three or five years than
It for only ono time. When Engineer Heal
went over the street n month or six weeks
ago ho estimated the expense of repairs at
J)30. ! ) Since that time more holes have
bern worn In the pavement and those that
were there at that time have been en
larged , so the chances are the longer the
work is put off the more It will cost.

The complaints alleging arson against

on recommendation of the county attorney
because It was believed that the state -coutd
not get an Impartial hearing before Judge
Gordon. The complaints were reflled In the

ing set by Judge Baxter for 10 o'clock this
morning.
When asked If he had any reply to make
to tbe letter of H. Schonstedt charging him
with having wronged Zacharla and Nathan
by his treatment of them , Chief White said :
"I do not know that I have any answer to
make , as the case is In court at present , I
am possessed of moro than enough evidence
to convince me of tbe guilt of these men. I

The mectlnc of the council in general
committee Monday afternoon was chiefly
notable for the suggestion of a way out
of the viaduct difficulties , The committed
on street Improvements and viaducts re
ported that the Union Pacific railroad had
Bet Its engineers to Investigating the pos
sibility of constructing n rend from Seven
teenth to .Nineteenth street along ihi south
sldo of the Union 1'aclflo tracks , this rortd
to servo as an outlet from the 1'axton &
Vlerllng iron works to the city by wny of
Twentieth street. The owners of the
works have been the niost earnest oppo
nents of the proposal to close Seventeenth
strebt. If It Is found possible to construct
this road without giving it too steep n
grade and at not too great an expense n
long step may haVe been taken In the
settlement of tbe troubles.
Stuht's ordinance to repeal the blcyclo
lamp ordinance was taken up. A motion
to recommend It for passage was defeated
nnd It fc-as thereupon placed on file.
The council was Informed by Lobcck that
the county commissioners had refused to
join In providing the city and county hew
election .booths , claiming that under the
contract entered Into by the county , city
and school district when the booths were
purchased the city was required to keep
them In repair. Lobeck stated that the
booths could not 'bo ' repaired and were worn
out. It was decided that the committee on
property should report to the cotlhcll that
the booths were no longer of use , where
upon the council would declare the con
tract expired and would notify the county
commissioners to that effect. It was agreed
that some plan should bo devised thereby
the county would bo made to pay part of
the cost of new booths 'before being allowed
to USD them.

trees at 1613 Ohio street on account of the

the majority of the properly owners would
have to ho filed with the city clerk before
anything could be dune looking to the open

The managers of the Greater America Ex

lot of deputy sheriffs sWorri In for service
in the grounds. This Is understood to be in
deference to the general outcry against the
disorderly scenes that are frequent and the
absolute failure of the exposition guards to
maintain order.
A special meeting of the Board of County
Commlssloriers was called rate yesterday
afternoon at the request of. Connolly , who
did not disclose Us object to the republican
members. When the board convened C. J.
Smyth of the executive committee of the ex
position nnd Captain Mostyn appeared with
a guarantee bond for $00,000 , Which they
asked the board to approve In order that the
deputies might bo sworn In nt once. They
declared that they are unable to scuuro adequate -
quato police protection and they wanted the
board to approve the bond without consid
eration. Commissioner Ostrom opposed
such hasty action and at his suggestion the
matter was postponed until 4:30 : o'clock this
afternoon. It Is slated that the deputies
have already been selected and that as soon
as the bond Is approved Sheriff McDonald
will give them the desired authority.

without a license. He pleaded not guilty

The arrest was made as a part of an
agreement to make a friendly test of the
ordinance recently passed by the city coun

which Larsen Is an employe Is not opposed
to the ordinance , and does not seek to have
It declared unconstitutional , but on the con

brokers -In the city In favoring it. But the
brokers , and the license inspector as well ,
are desirous of enforcing the provision of
the ordinance which prohibits the selling of

Judge Dickinson 1ms overruled A motion
for a new trial In the case of the National
Bank of Commerce against the Globe Sav
ings bank , in which a Judgment was re
turned for the plaintiff nt a recent term of
cour' . The case Is chiefly notable as an
Illustration of the devious methols by
which Cadet Taylor manipulated the various
financial concerns with which ho was con
nected to his own profit and the disadvan
tage of his patrons.
The pleadings in this case show that Tay
lor turned in a lot of county warrants , most
of which were the property of the Bank of
Commerce. Ho received a check for the
aggregate value of the warrants from the
county treasurer , which was made payable
to him as president of the Globe Loan and
Trust company , by which the warrants were
handled. Taylor Immediately indorsed the
check to the Globe Savings bank , and , as be
was also president of that institution , he
simply changed pockets with the check , and
the proceeds wcro swallowed up In the sub
sequent failure of the savings bank.
When the bank wns sued for the amount
due the Bank of Commerce , Taylor Bet up
the very Ingenious defense that , In his
capacity as president of the Globe Ravings
bank , he had accepted the check in good
faith. He contended that , while Cadet
Taylor , as president of the trust company ,
might have known that the bulk of the
money belonged to another party , Cadet Tay
lor as president of the savings bunk could
not be ( supposed to have any such knowl
edge.
This defence was fiummarily disposed of
by Judge Dickinson In passing on the mo
tion for a new trial. The court declared
that It Is impossible to divorce the knowl
edge of an Individual In ono official capacity
from the knowledge of the same person In
another official capacity , and ho consequently
denied the motion and ndlrmed the judg
ment In favor of the plaintiff.
Hartley ( 'line Crotvx 'IVillotiM.
The Bartlcy case has been resumed by
Judge Fowcett , but the proceedings are en-
entlrely without interest. No witnesses
were called , but their absence was supplied
by reading the testimony elicited at the pre
vious trial , Evidence of J , H. Evans , 11. C.
Russell and W , H , Summers was introduced
which was corroborative of that previously
offered in regard to the delivery of the bond
at the beginning of Hartley's second term ,
Then the defense read t'ne testimony of
Deputy Treasurer Bartlett which related to
the condition of the treasury at various
times during Bartley's Incumbency ,
Much of the afternoon wag occupied by an

There was an affecting scene In Judge
Haker's court room yesterday afternoon ,
when an order of habeas corpus was en
tered by which 9-ycar-old Blanche. Bradley
was taken away from her mother and given
to the custody of her father , Jacob S. Brad
ley. The Bradleys were divorced in Ken
tucky several years ago nnd Mrs. Bradley
secured the child. During the last two
years aho has "been living at 1023 Half
Howard street with a saloon keeper and
Bradley brought the proceedings on the
ground that the surroundings were not fit
for the child. This was apparent from the
woman's own testimony , but this did not
prevent her from being broken-hearted
when her daughter was taken away by her
father. Mrs. Bradley refused to bo com
forted end sat for a long time In the do-
sertcd court room weeping plteously.

Property owners along North Seventeenth
street nro coniplalnliig because the water and
gas companies are not compelled to fill the
holes that their employes cut In the asphalt
pavement when making connections for
water and gas. They point to the fact that
there arc holes In the pavement mada nearly
two years ago , and ithat no steps have been
taken to have them repaired. Owners of lot *
say that the companies arc required under
the provisions of the ordinances to make the
repairs , but that the officers of the street de
partment of the city fall to see that the
laws of the city arc enforced.
