The existence of the Omaha Iaw school
br an Institution of learning began Monday
Light, and since that tlmo four of the twelve
students enrolled havo signified their Inten
tion of withdrawing and seeking legal
knowledge, elsewhere. In each case they
vcro Induced to come to Omaha by the se
ductive, wording of "Dean" Parr's advertis
ing mattei. Arriving here, they found that
conditions wore not as represented and bo
ramo dissatisfied, but not until they hail
parted with various sums to Karr. They
then went to him and asked to have the
money refunded, but were refused. Finally
they Bought counsel of1 Attornoy C. A. (loss,
who will bring suit to recover the- money
collected from his four young clients.
The young men are: II. 1'. McLaughlin,
rarmlngham, Me.; Robert K. ColllnH. Indian
Village, La.; Joseph 12. Ilrochu. North Cum
lirldgo, Mass., and Joseph Willis of Kannln
loiinty, Texas.
II. I'. McLaughlin Is supposed to have
tield a "scholarHhlp" In the Omaha Law
school, but notwithstanding this ho was
required to pay the same amount for the
various school privileges us others who did
not hold "scholarships." Ho paid J25 as a
matriculation fee and, as stipulated in the
contract, "$10 In full payment of LL. II.
diploma feo when ho completes tho said
course." Mr. Collins had tho bnmo ox
pcrlence. Mr. Ilrochu, however, got off
with a $15 matriculation feo iiml n $10 de
posit for diploma, as did also Mr. Willis
After paying their money ami buying
soma books of "Dean" Karr these young
men began to Investigate what they had
hoped would bo their nlma mator, but
brought to light so many discouraging facts
that they concluded not to remain. One
of tho books they purchased was "Karr'a
Parliamentary Law," a little paper bound
volume, which appears to be nn abridge
mcnt of "Ciislilng'ii Manual," for which thoy
paid $3 per copy.
Willis Iihh re (urned to Texas. Collins
and Ilrochu marled last night for Cumber
land Interstate Law school at Lebanon
Tenn., ami McLaughlin, though still In the
city, is awaiting ndvlt o from home as to
his procedure.
Iliiltn ii t.tirr Student.
In his catalogues Karr represents that
200 "scholarships" havo been distributed
equally among tho states, each a life ten
uro based upon $.100 paid by somo phllan
throplst, whoMt name is not given.
Another device on par with tho fore
going Is IiIh use of a cut of tho New York
l.lfo building on his stationery with the
line, "Offlco Omaha Law School," beneath
It. This would naturally glvo tho Imnrcs
nion mat tne entire building Is devoted
to tho school, whereas In fact only a sin
do room on tho top Hour has been rented
ny the "dean" as his private otllce. Just
where It Is proposed to nssemblo thn stu
dents is not known. The session of last
Monday night was held In a room In Tho
Ueo building, borrowed for the occasion by
rror. iioyics.

It would no doubt embarrass tho "dean
to give tho street address of some Omaha
boarding house with theso advantages,
As a reason for leaving his charge In
Nashville and coining to Omaha to teach
tho young Idea. "Iiean" Karr cites tho
smallpox and yellow fever scares of tho

THIRD WARD REPUBLICANS

Over 100 Third ward republicans cn-
Joyed an open air meeting of the rcpub

Jiiuway noiei last uigui, uuuibbbcu u ;
oral xnenkern from a tilatform waeon
,,n,,,nc. in ,ho street. A band rendered
several selections and thu populace of the
neighborhood responded. It was almost
exclusively a colored men's meeting.
William Miner presided and first intro
duced Councilman Harry Zlmman, who
took occasion to thank thu voters for their
activity In the city election. Ho urged
them to got out nc:;t Friday nnd exert
overy effort to secure the election of tho
ticket put up in behalf of Edward Hose
water for United States senator and John
Mcrritt of tho Arcado hotel for assessor,
raying that If the former Is made senator
ho will bring about the udopttou of tho
postal savings bank system, which would
be of great bencllt to poor people.
John Mcrritt spoke briefly in tolling of
his long realdcnco In Omaha nnd tho ward;
that ho was married there, all of his
children wero born there nnd he expects
to end his days thcro. He devoted somo
attention to national Issues, urging the
laboring men to vote tho republican ticket
simply because It Is to their Interest to do
so.
I. Zlegler pointed out the various Issues
of the campaign and discussed the ability
of Hdward Hosowatcr to upheld tho rc
publican policies In relation thereto,
Course far the. I'roplr.
Victor It. Walker directed attention to
tho personnel of the itntl-Hoaewutcr ticket
In the ward, declaring thnt it was com
posed of men who had bartered away tho
suffrages of tho colored voters of tho ward
time and again and urging the colored
republicans of thu ward to prevent a re
currenco of this practice. Somo thought
It strango that he was supporting Mr.
Hosowatcr and to such ho could tender thu
assuranco that 11 waa nut because ho had
been purchased. It was because there Is
no comparison between Mr. Hosowatcr and
hls opponent when It camo to consideration

Th,r'1 ward' Tno humblest citizen enn ap-
rroach Mr. Hoscwnter with tho nssuranco

and had had an oftlco on tho sumo Door
with him, but Mr. Webster never knew
him until ho became n cuudldatu for tho
legislature. He believed It to bo for tho
best Interests of tho colored people and of
tho stnto generally that Mr. Hoscwater
bo chosen senator.
J. C. Hubbard made nn Intelligent and
earnest talk along similar linen nnd pointed
out many reasons of a local character why
tho pcoplo of tho Third ward should glvo
their support to Mr. Hoscwater nnd urged
every republican to bo on hand brlday
promptly when tho polls open and voto for
the Zlmman delegation.

FARMERS SEEK FERTILE SOIL
Auric iiltiirlntN of Middle Stolen Pro

Prulrli'N of NelinmUii,
Tho effect of the Trnnsmlsslsslppi expo
sition 13 being felt in the success of the
"homcscckers" excursion!., the first of which
arrived In Omaha Wednetday morning,
bringing u scoro or more prospective In
vestors In agricultural land from northern
Ohio and Illinois.
The excursionists generally left for polntt
on the Cnlon Pacltlc, but ono or two re
mained lu Omaha for the day. One of thorn
speaking of tho reason for their coming to
the stato said that since the Transmlssis
slppl exposition many oastern farmers had
kept their eyes upon Nebraska and had con
cluded that as tho cheap land in tho state
could not last much longer they would look
over the ground with a view to Immigrating
to Nebraska.
Many of these farmers como from the
fruit and apiary districts of Ohio and aro
examinlng the soil, climate and produc
tions to determine whether bees and fruit
can be made to pay In this state, I'pon
their report will depend the removal of many
farmers to Nebraska.
BELLSTEDT'S CLASSIC NIGHT
'roitrnm of I miRiinl nxeellcnce Pre
sented Itnrr SUlll nnd llo
lluhtful Itmiilt.
The attendance at the first concert of the
Musical Festival, devoted exclusively to
classic music, was a positive assertion on
the part of Omaha people that n taste for
the best works of the best composers Is
prevalent to a marked extent.
A splendid audience, representing the
best people hereabouts, greeted the baud
and Mr. llellstcdt conducted with genuine
unction. The "spieling" features of the
concerts can bo softened somewhat and
they doubtless will be. Tho persistent
custom of ushering people to tneir
seats during the playing of tho program
Is carried beyond all bounds of considera
tion for those who havo been wise enough
to arrive early. The management should
obviate this Instead of putting a premium
on late comers.
The beautiful "Carlolanus" overture that
opened the program was a revelation to the
many who had not heard it before. Tho
dcllcato polso of heavy machinery has
often challenged one's respect and admi
ration and In like manner Is ono awed by
tho powerful delicacy or delicate power
displayed by the instrumentalists ensemble
In this characteristic product of tho im
mortal Beethoven shall wo say the "Mil
ton of Music?"
That ever Interesting, even absorbing
symphonic poem of Liszt, entitled, "Tho
Preludes," was tremendously played nnd
to tho alert ear the Intricate and rapid
work allotted to tho basses was handled
to all appearances by artists, while the
dlfllctilt but Intensely beautiful French horn
parts were played In tho most satisfac
tory manner.
Tho Vorsplcl to Van der Stuckon's
Vlasda" was unfortunately marred by the
execrable zeal with which a hysterical
devotco pounded a bass drum on the out
side of the pavilion enclosure, presumably
summoning the evening worshipers to
noisy vespers. Tho thoughts of those In
side the pavilion were far from religious.
Tho great audlenco was thoroughly
stirred by tho Brahms' Hungarian danco
and Mr. BelUtcdt very happily announced
that ns nn encore ho would give a Slavonl.
danco of Anton Dvorak. Tho audlenco ap
preciated the favor.
It remained for the "Polarca" of Weber
to arouse tho highest enthusiasm. This
was an Implied compliment to Mr. Bcll-
sledt, who transcribed this fnvorlto piano
number for concert band and his feat was
ono to bo proud of. It seems impossible
that such wonderful technique, such dell
cato phrasing could bo secured from the
concert hand. Tho execution was con
stantly clean, the crescendos came like
whirlwinds nnd tho tono coloring was a
thing of beauty.
Tho overture to "RIeiul" opened the sec
ond part of tho program und received en
thii8lastle applause. Mr. Burkhardt was
singled out for honors in this part, ploy
Ing a euphonium solo with velvety tono
nnd modest taste. He will be a welcome
soloist on futuro evenings. Tho familiar
ity nf many of the Lohengrin "motives
doubtless accounted for tho tremendous
nvntlou accorded tho scenes from that
opera. Conspicuously excellent was tho
work of tho brasses In this numbor.
Tho "Devil's Waltz," from Dor Bncren-
hauter," by tho younger Wagner, was new
to tho audience. It Is a complex compo
sition nnd Is reminiscent of the gentleman
whoso waltze the program declares it to
be. It Is equally fascinating as he Is said
to be. Tho "Walknre" fantasia, which
was selected to close tho program, was
listened to by almost the cnllro audience.
This speaks volumes, Mr. Bcllstcdt was
delighted beyond measuro at tho size, ap
preciation and discriminating applauso of
tho people. The men played as though In
spired and they had n very heavy night's
work. Omaha Is grateful to each of them
personally, as well as their sincere, un-
nffected Kunstler-conductor. Among tho
encores Mr. Bellstcdt played Hoy Smlth'o
"Polka Hoyal." It was greeted as an old
friend, but lis adaptability to band pres
entation is to bo questioned. Thla does
not In any way, however, detract from
its merits us a pianoforte solo.

An adjourned meeting of the city coun
ell Is on tho bills for tonight and It Is ex
pectcd that there will be a quorum. Three
members of tho council were out of the city
yesterday, but all arc expected to return
today. Fttle and Clifton are lu Lincoln
and Adktus went to Des Motnos with the
Shrlners.
In connection with this meeting Mayor
Kelly said yesterday evening that a num
ber of petitions for sewers and grading
would doubtless bo presented, but that
thcro would bo a delay for the reason that
tho city attorney hud been Instructed to
deliver to tho council a written opinion on
such affairs. This opinion will not be
ready until next Monday night, lu this
opinion the attorney will outline tho proper
steps to be taken lit all cases whero special
taxes are to bo levied. Tho administration
has been harassed moro or less by law
suits growing out of defective petitions and
In somo cases tho special taxes assessed
havo been declared void by tho courts.
Mayor Kelly Is opposed to any more loose
action In connection with tho levying of
special taxes and proposes to have all peti
tions carefully scrutinized hereafter. For
this reason thu petitions for sewers, grad
ing and paving will be held up until after
the city attorney has given un opinion.
Then all petitions will hnvo to conform to
the legal Ideas suggested by tho attorney.
l)y doing (his It Is thought that futuro legal
complications will be dono nwuy with und
that special taxes levied will havo to bu
paid without contest.

Frnnk Oft, a banker from Corning, In.,
was a visitor at tho stock yards yester
day nnd he said that he was going to vote
for Bryan this full, although he Is a re
publican. When usked why he snld that
the farmers In the vicinity of Corning had
deposited $125,000 In his bank during the
month of August nnd (hat he could not
loan out any money, us tho lowutis are
apparently well fixed financially.
Another reason Is that ho cannot Invest
his money In real estate, as It has ad
vanced so much tinder McKlnley rulo that
speculations of this kind wero practically
prohibited.
This banker has an Idea that If Bryan Is
elected hard times will como nnd that
tho banks will then bo enabled to loan
money nt a good rale of Interest.

The military boulevard project Is not dead,
although thu officials nt Washington have
temporarily turned tho proposition down.
In talking about this matter a day or two
ago, Congressman Mercer said that he
hoped to frecuro the appropriation at
the next session of congress. For some
reason tho committee on military nf
falrs did not npprovo of tho Mercer
proposition nnd omitted the Hem from
tho appropriation sheet. Since this
was done affairs have taken a different turn
nnd Congressman Mercer is lu s position
to make certain demands which he I? conn

In his poinlon, tho question nf building the

General dissatisfaction seems to havo
been caused by tho recent change In the
running time of street cms. Ono truln has
been taken off, which lcnveH only twenty
trains In service and makes a slx-mlnule
wait between each train. Tho stub cars on
Q street havo been abandoned entirely nnd
overy other Omaha train runs to Thirty
ninth nnd Q streets, giving a twelve min
ute, service. Hcsidcnts of tho Third ward
do not object to this service, but pcoplo
living down town do not llko the Idea. The
crews aro also complaining, ns the new
schedule reduces their pay 10 cenlH a day,
making a total of I'i a month to each con

mercial college educators aro being con

WHAT ABOUT MEL UHL?
OMAHA, Sept. ..To the Kdltor of The
Bee: Friday of this week republicans of
the Seventh ward will have the privilege
of voting for a delegation selected to pro
mote the candidacy of Mel 1'hl for member
of the legislature.
H Is said that upon every block In the
Seventh ward there lives a statesman. This
may or may not ho (rue, nor can It be
said that Mel I'hl makes nny pretense of
statesmanship. He Ih u business man nnd
his friends appeal to the republican voters
of tho Seventh ward lo support Mr. I'hl us
a business man a man who docs things.
They have many valid reasons for support
ing his candidacy, umong which are these
1. Mel I'hl bus lived In the Seventh ward
for many years.
2. He Is u taxpayer.
3. He Is progressive.' alive nnd alert,
4. His character Is above reproach and
among his neighbors, ho stands In high
esteem.
D. Ho can be depended upon to vote
right upon every bill before the legislature
that promises tho greatest good to the
greatest number, but ho will not, if elected,
seek lo railroad through tho legislature
nny bill detrimental lo the Interests of
tho sluto and framed to meet thu require
tncnts of n special class. Ho is not a law
yer and hence will not try to get a law
passed In tho Interest of nny particular
client.
tl. Mr. I'hl will bo the business man's
representative In all things. There will
bo too many lawyers In the next leglsln
turo at best anil It Is the purpose of the
republicans of thu Seventh waril to go on
record In favor of active, Intelligent und
clenn-handed business men for representa
tion In the legislature. Young lawyers have
had their Innings. It is time the business
men be given n show. At uny rate this
seems to be the sentiment of tho repub
lican voters of tho Socnth wurd this
year and with that object In view thej
proposo to send Mel Uhl to tho legisla
ture. J- II. II.
