"Many of tho educators of today," said
Superintendent Pcarse, "have hnd to go
back 300 years to tho principles expounded
by Coinenlus. He taught many things that
succeeding generations were slow to ac
cept." One of tho prettiest features of tho pro
gram was reserved until near the clcse. It
was designated as "Tho Convention of tho
Nations," and wns presented by a stago
full of children in costumes representing
fourteen of the principal civilized countries
of the globe. These marched and sang In a
manner that indicated careful training and
gooil taste.
The program was Introduced with an over

boda in a flute solo, with a piano accom
paniment by Miss P. Swoboda, richly de
served tho hearty encore It recelvod. A
"scenu" with songs by several girls and
boys was also a striking number.

"Comcnlus ns a Pedagogue," and Messrs.
J. Houkal, F. Srocha nnd A. Schiller ren

Crowd' Ailvlee.
People who happened to be abroad Wednes
day shortly nfter 1 o'clock in tho vicinity
of Fifteenth and Fnrnam streets were af
forded much amusement by the spertucle
of a young man riding a pony nnd attempt
ing to lead by a ropo halter another nnd
much larger horse.
Tho horso refused to be led. It objected
to tho Indignity of being taken through
tho principal streets of Omaha behind nn
undersized nag of uncertain pedigree, so
in front of Hrowulng, King & Co.'s store It
braced Itself for a determined stand and
held Its own for several minutes, to the de
light of tho assembled crowd. Finally a good
Samaritan stepped out with a barrul stave
nnd began lambasting tho stubborn animal
in tho rear. This produced llttlo or no ef
fect. A person who resembled Rattlesnake
Peto enme to the rescue with an enormous
whip and applied It with vigor.
The horso concluded that part of tho street
wns getting too warm and allowed itself to
bo trotted along to the corner of Fifteenth
and Farnnm. whero It again braced Itself
nt an angle of forty-five degrees and made
another attempt to hold Its ground.
Hero another volunteer came forward with
a buggy whip nnd applied tbo lash vigor
ously, which resulted In nnother forward
movement of n few ynrds. Progress was
made In this manner, in the course of half
nn hour, of a block or more.
The balky horso by this tlmo Beemed to
havo becomo accustomed to tbo whipplug.
Ill front of the Rnmge block it again come
to a standstill. The crowd seemed to en
Joy the strugglo between horse and man.
Kvcry movement was watched with Interest.
Finally somo of the leaders of tho crowd
got together and held a consultation. Ad
vice was given tho young man on tho pony,
which ho nccepted and with good result.
Ho transferred the saddlo to tho horso,
mounted tho latter, took tho pony in tow
and rode triumphantly away.
MURPHY TALKS ABOUT CORN
DolUorx nn liiterentliiH: ililres lle
forp the Woiiihii'h t'lnli of
O m n tin.
Colonel Charles J. ("Cornmeal") Murphy
addrecsed the members of tho Woman's
club nt the First Congregational church for
an hour Wednesday afternoon. Ho told
many Interesting things of his work In In
troduclng American corn as a food amoni
i various European nations during the last
i thirteen years. The work was first In-
I augurated by Mr. Murphy In 1S87 nnd was
I carried on at his own expense until No
' vember, 1890, when he was appointed a spo-
clal agent of the Department ot Agrlcul
turo bv Secretary Rusk. At the tlmo of
' this appointment he was engaged In tho
work of Introduction nt the International
I exhibition at Rdlnburg.
I The work was continued by the depart
ment until the end ot the second year of
the Cleveland administration, when, for
some Inexplicable reason, It was decided
that his salary could no longer be afforded.
Hut Colonel Murphy persisted In tbo work
and later the American Malzo Propaganda
was organized, which has since pushed
corn Into tho markets of Europe. In Ger
many tho sale of cornbread Is now qultn
general under tho namo of "Murphy brod,"
whllo It may also be had in the large cities
ot other European countries. At tho con
clusion of tho lecture a rising vote of
thanks wns extended to Mr. Murphy.
Colonel Murphy left Omaha last evening
for Des Moines, but may return to this city
In a few days for another short Btny.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The mass meeting called by thn Com.
morclal club nt tho council chamber for
yesterday nfternoon was largely attended
nnd conslderablo enthusiasm wns dlaplayed.
ii was me intention of tho members of tho
club to show to the farmers residing In
tho vicinity of South Omaha tho advantago
of raising sugar beets. In this the meet
ing was successful nnd contracts wero en
tered into by eight persons for thn minim?
of sugar beets during the ensuing year.
uwing to tun bad condition of tho roads
qulto a number of farmers residing In tho
vicinity of South Omaha wcro tinablo to
no present, but it is considered that thev
aro with the proposition from start to fin
ish. As president of the Commercial club John
Flynti cnlled tho assemblage to order and
H. T. Clarke, one of tho pioneer residents
of this section, wns named as chairman,
wittt j. h. Wntktns, secretary of tho South
Omaha Commercial club, as secretary.
in ins Introductory remarks Chairman
Clarko said that ho considered this section
of tho stato a deslrnblo ono for tho beet
sugar Industry. Our peculiar soil nnd cli
mate add many inducements to tho culture
of beets, ho nsserted, thus giving nn Indi
cation that beets of the character desired
can bo grown hero with llttlo effort. Mr.
Clarke mentioned tho fact that many chil
dren of packing houso employes could be
employed In picking weeds In season nnd
advocated tho establishment of farms for
this and other reasons which he gave.
Ho said that tho day of experiments 'n
tho beet sugar lino had passed and that
the refuso of a beet factory can now be
UBcd to feed llvo stock to advantago. In
connection with the Issuo Mr. Clarke said
that the land in and about Norfolk had In
creased In value since the establishment
of a beet sugar factory and ho hoped to seo
tho samo result in this vicinity nfter the
fanners commenced raising beets.
J. E. Utt, Hjcretary of tho Omaha Com
mercial club, mado a short address on the
Bubject beforo tho meeting and ndvocated
strongly tho raising of beets by farmers
In Douglas county. Ho said that tho fac
tory at Ames was now paying Jl per ton
for beets nnd also tho freight on shipments
ns an Inducement. Further, ho said that
If tho farmers In this locality would raise
tho beets thero would be no trouble about
tho establishment of factories.
G. Lund of Omaha recited his experience
with three tracts of lund in tho vicinity of
the two Omahas, which ho sowed In beets
last year. Mr. Lund gavo tho farmers pres
ent much valuable advice In regard to the
soli, sowing and cultivation of beets.
R. M. Allen, manager of tho big sugar
beet plant at Ames, was present nnd Chair
man Clarko called upon him for an expres
sion. Mr. Allen went Into details about
tho growth and cultivation of tho sugar
beet and bis remarks wero listened to at
tentively. Ho said that for land owners
the best possible investment was sugar beets
nnd to renters of property no crop would
yield better results than beets crown for
sugar.
J. F. Weybrlght talked on the subject
and so did Secretary Watklns. At tho con
clusion of tho addresses an opportunity
was given to those present to enter Into
contracts and eight farmers signified tbolr
Intention of raising beets for tho market
this summer.
It was suggested by Mr. Flynn that mem
bers of tho Commercial club bo detailed
day by day to escort Mr. Weybrlght about
tho surrounding farms with n view to mak
ing contracts and this will bo done. It is
figured that moro can bo accomplished In
this way than by holding public meetings.
Iti'inilillrnii Victory Predicted.
"The situation is growing better every
day." said Manager Carpenter nt repub
lican headquarters last night. "We are
constantly In receipt of advices which show
us that tho republican ticket with Kelly
at Its head will win at tho coming election.
In tho opinion of a great many the entlro
republican ticket will bo elected. Kelly Is
strong in nil parts of tho city. Frank
Koutsky has a great following in the Sec
ond ward, which is spreading to nil of the
wards and the same may be said of the rest
of tho candidates."
Every candidate Is making a houso to
houso canvnsB nnd this is the kind of work
that tells. For members of tho school board
Colonel Lott. A. V. Miller and Theodore
Schrocder are gaining friends every day
nnd It Is predicted that they will be
elected.
In connection with the campaign Mr. Car
penter Mid that most of tho meetings wcro
In tho various hulls In tho different wards
and wero attended by local speakers only.
It is the intontlon, however, to have ono
or two big rallies the latter part of tho
week ut which a uutnbor of well known
speakers will deliver addresses.
It Is stated that according to republican
eyes tbo situation could not look moro
hopeful. Kelly Is gaining ground every day
and so Is Kouteky. What is Bald of these
two may bo said of all of tbo candidates
on the republican ticket. Ono well known
democrat said yesterday, In talking to a
party of friends In a bank In South Omaha,
that it would not surprUo him If tho en
tlro republican ticket was elected. As" for
himself ho declared that ho would vote
for Kelly, Koutsky and the entire coun
cllmanlc ticket.

DenlliH llecrpiiRiiitr.
According to the records tho death rato In
South Omaha Is rapidly on tho decrease. It
Is generally conceded that tho month of
March is a dangerous one for those In poor
health, but so far this month very few
deaths havo occurred, as compared with
one year ago. In March, 1S9D, forty-six
deathii were recorded at tho city clerk's
ofilce, whllo so fur this month only twenty
deaths havo been reported. This showH a
decreaso of moro than half and as tho
month la nearly out the total can hardly
run to bait wjjat it was a year ago.
