Tho meeting of the North Omaha Im
provement club Monday night tcok on tho
color of a doalre to land residents of the
north sldo In appointive offices under tho
Ity government whore the olllceholders
could be cf some advantage to tho property
wners of that part of Omaha. Tho rou-
tlno business of the meeting had not been
completed when John Morrison, chairman of
tho ccmmlttce on sewcru, announced that
member of tho club had been mentioned
ns an applicant for the position of foreman
f tho city sower department. J. J. Smith
gave tho name of the nppllcnnt an Robert
loiighton nnd endorsed his candidacy. A
motion unanimously prevailed that It Is the
sense of the North Omaha Improvement club
that Robert Houghton be appointed ns fore
man of the sewer department of tho city
f Omaha.
This motion broke the Ice. A member
moved that J. Y. Craig bo endorsed for ap
pointment ns member ot tho park commis
sion nnd that the enttro club wait upon
the mayor to secure the appointment. The
motion was carried with a rush.
Another member then moved that J. J.
Smith bo endorsed for appointment oh mem
ber of the Hoard of Fire nnd Police Com
missioners. Before tho motion could be
otcd upon Mr. Smith nrosc and said that
e did not desire to take advantage of other
mcmberu of tho club who were nald to be
candidates for tho position and who were
baent from tho meeting, and at his request
ha motion when adopted Btated that the
North Omaha Improvement club requests the
mayor to appoint J. J. Smith, I. G. Darlght
V . I. Klerstead to the vacancy now
exlntlng on tho Hoard ot Fire nnd Police
Commtsslonerj.
Ail- to lli (iiiviTlinr.
Mr. Ixibeck stated that, possibly, the mayor
would havo little to say In regard to tho
membership of tho police board and that
It would not be a bad Idea, as tho matter
s now to be decided In the courts, to have
an application on file with the governor for
representation on that board. A motion was
therciforo adopted Instructing the president
and decretory of the club to request the gov
ernor to appoint either Thomas P. Thornton,
cmocrat, or J. J. Smith, republican, to n
position on the board In case the court should
decldo that ho has the appointing power.
iter In tho evening A. H. Starkcy was
endorsed for a position as fireman at tho
city hall In case a vacancy should exist. A
ccmratttco consisting of H. T. Lcavltt, John
Morrison, P. C. McKec. H. II. Grattan.
Charlc3 Gruenlg, R. II. Wallaco and W. F.
Johnson was appointed to visit the mayor

didates.
Councilman Karr stated that It was gen
erally understood that tho muyor had ap
pointed two members cf tho Flro nnd Pollco
board and that tho names would bo sub
mitted to tho council Tuesday night, and
that under tho circumstances. If tho club
desired a placo on the board, tho appoint
ments should bo referred until tho mayor's
rqturn, and In order to accomplish this a
strong committee should be present at the
council meeting. It was therefore decided
to adjourn tho meeting of the club to the
city ball tonight.

The proclamation for tho city election to

document Is signed by Mayor Ensnr and is
attested hy City Clerk Carpenter. It calls

Tho polls will bo open from 9 o'clock In the

On Wednesday will occur tho first contest

tho Slabaush contingent will send circular

nre sending out such letters to friends and
voters, as it is thought the main fight will
bo at the primaries. An unusual effort Is
being mado by all candidates to get out a
full vote, nnd more than tbo usual amount
of Interest Is being displayed.
School llonril I'nlltli'x.
Messrs. Lott. Freltng and Scarr retire as
members of tho Hoard of Kducatlon this
spring. Scarr has positively declined to be
a candidate for election, as he says there Is
altogether too much nbuso given a member
as compared with tho honor. Frcltag Is a
candidate for mayor on tho democratic ticket
and this fact nnturally prevents him fro-u
nnnoutnlng himself as a candidate for re
election. Colonel Lott, tho only republican
member on tho banrd, Is willing nnd anxious
to lay down tho cares of office and step out,
hut his friends wish him to retain his mem
bership. Inlluenco Is being brought to bear
to Induce tho colonel to consent to run for
another term. If this can bo done bo will
likely lead tho republican schcol board ticket.
From Indications it is apparent that tho
bond proposition Is dead for a time. Many
voters assert that after the election of three
nc,v members on the board a proposition to
vote bonds for ward schools will bo seri
ously considered. With a change In tho
political complexion of the board It Is pre
dicted that a number or changes among tho
elective ofllcers will be made. Some of thn
democratic "members say that nil they are
waiting for Is a chango in membership to put
through reorganization plans.

for bids for the grading cf Tuenty-sccond

will be received jit tho clcik's office until

engineer thnt 10,000 yards of dirt will have
to bo moved to cmplote the grading. An
unusual amount of rivalry exists among
the grading contractors at this time and It
s predicted that tho bids will run lower
than usual.

"Kvery married man must ask his wife's
permission to make a success." That was
a saying of a wise old clergyman who knew
that marriage was a partnership in the
broadest seiisp, nnd that there can be no
success lu any partnership in which the
partners do not contribute equally to make
success possiDic. ror iuib, ii tor
r.o other reason, every man who
Is trying to climb the ladder of
success should be intcresud in
his wife's health. A healthy
wTmian is always helpful. A
tired, nervous
woman, depleted
in strength and
depressed in mind,
can contribute
neither mentally

At 0:30 o'clock this morning Judge linker
will decldo whether ho will grant a new
hearing in the action of tho stata ngalnst
the Omaha National bank or whether ho
will render Judgment in accordance with
tho original verdict prior to the appeal to
the supreme court. This Is an action wherein
tho stato n-eks to collect $200,000 from tho
defendant bank on the allegation that cx
Stato Treasurer Hartley was dealing with
tho bank at tho time of ills defalcation a
few years ago. Tho bank sets forth that It
knew nothing whatever nbout Treasurer
Hartley's affairs and that be was treated
the samo us any other customer no bolter,
no worse.
The ease wbh tried once before by Judgo
Haker and a verdict was found for the de
fendant. Appeal was taken io the' supremo
court. There the matter was handled lu a
mcst peculiar way. Judge llani-on sustained
Judgo Maker's ruling, Judgu Sullivan over
ruled Judge linker and Judge Norvnl took
no part. In this shape the case was sent
back to the district court. Tho defense
minims that such a situation does not mean
that tho caso Is remanded for trial It
! simply shows on the face ot It. the dofenfo
sets forth, thnt one Judgo agreed with the
trial court, another disagreed and the third
member of tho supremo bench did not con
corn himself in the matter nt all. In view
of thM. It Is urged thnt tho case stands Just
where it did before It went to tho supreme
court nnd thnt Judgo Baker's original ver
dict is in force. Attorney 5ciierjl Smyth
combats this theory.
Tho entire day was consumed In argu
ment. Them is a formidable array of legal
talent on cither side nnd the contest was
entered Into In a spirited manner. At tho
conclusion of tho argument Judge Haker
said:
"I will diicide this case in tho morning,
if I follow ono of the supreme court Judgof,
1 will reverse tho Judgment; If I follow an
other, I will sustain my original ruling, and
If I follow another of the three, I will do
nothing."

por granted divorce yesterday to Mrs.

1872. Their children aro married, nnd al
though they have, so tho evidence showed,
tried to act us peacemakers, they fnlled
to reconcile their parents, who havo been
quarreling at intervals for tho last seven
or eight years.
There was pathos In tho nppearanco of this
couplo in dlvorco court, nnd tho stories told
on tho witness stand wero enough to ro-
vlvo tho question: "Is marriage a failure?"
Mrs. Allison alleged various Indignities on
tho part of her husband, charging among
other thlugs that ho had for a long whllo
neglected to support her. He filed u cross
bill In which ho made sensational charges
against his wife. He nccused her of threat
ening his life and of hurling tea cups,
