Members of the Board of F.duratlon state
that no further steps looking to the pur
ihate of the Street property as a site for
the new High srhool building will be taken
before the next meeting n' the board,
which Is slated for next Monday. President
Henry Is out of the city and ns no one Is
authorized In his abenco to sign drafts on
tho treasurer the purchase price of $5,fi00
has not yet been paid over to t). W. Otis,
agent for A. W. Street, oner of the prop
erty. There are at least three members of
tho board who do not hesitate to admit
that they would be only too willing to
find iome loophole by which they could cs
capo from consummating the purchase of
tho Street tract. They regard the site ns
totally unsnlted for such a building and
object to It on the ground that It Is not
centrally located. In fact they admit that
It Is more dlfflcult of nccess for a majority
of the pupils than the Oakland iivenuo site
would be. Whllo they realize that tho lat
ter site, owlrg to tho ndxerse ruling of
tho state superintendent, can no longer he
considered, they feel thnt there ought to
he some silo centrally located that could
be secured on which to build the new High
school and one that would be satisfactory
to all.
Wnihlnatoii Avenue Site.
Ono of the members of tho board who Is
opposed to the Rtieet tract suggested
another plan to solve the question. He
suggests that the Wahlngton avenue build
ing bo converted from a ward school Into
a high school and that to accommodate the
ward pupils now attending the board build
two ward schools of eight rooms each In
thnt locality. This plan, he contends. If
carried out would mean a saving of a large
sum of money to the district.
The Washington nvenuo building Is the
largest school In the city and contains
nhout sixteen rooms. Tho building, It Is
said, could at an expense not to exceed
$2,000 to J3.000 he remodelled and placed
In llrst-class condition as n High school.
Two ward schools containing eight rooms
each. It Is claimed, could bo built at a co9t
not to exceed $20,000 each, this sum to In
clude the cost of sites. In favor of this
plan It Is urged that It would be a decided
advantage to divide Into two buildings the
largo number of pupils nt present attend
ing tho Washington avenue school.
Member Stewart, In discussing the ques
tion yesterday, said he was In favor of
transforming the Washington avenue Bchool
Into a high school and ho had been given
to understand that the suggestion would be
made at the next meeting of tho hoard be
fore final steps in the matter of the pur
chafe of the Street property were taken.
He says ho la opposed to the Street prop
erly and does not believe It adaptablo at
all for the erection of such a high school
as tho board contemplates building. Not
only Is the location bad. he said, but the
topography of the ground is not stilted for
such a purpose.

The family of II. F. Killers, a fruit
grower living on Fast Hubbard street In

showed that three $10 hills and $12 In
silver were missing from a pockctbook that
was In one of tho bureau drawers.
The entire family was at homo but not
a slnslo member had heard any person
upstairs. Tho family at once connected
the disappearance of the mouoy with the
visit of tho two strangers to tho houso,
but how either of them managed to got
upstairs and out of tho houso again with
out attracting attention is what la puz
zling them. Tho police were at once no
tilled, but no trace of the alleged piano
tuner could be found.

South Omaha News .
An Important meeting of the German
American Republican club will bo held nt
Blum's hall. Twenty-sixth nnd N streets,
nt 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. This will he
the first nf a series of meetings to be held
by this club nt this hall during the cam
paign. These meelngs will be held nt 2
o'clock each Sunday nflernoon and good
speakers will bo In attendance. At the
meeting Sunday the organization will be
perfected nnd new members admitted. All
republicans are Invited, as somo business of
importance will be transacted. Addresses
will be delivered by prominent local Ger
mans nnd It Is possible that one or more
outside speakers will be present. Last
spring the Germans nf South Omaha rallied
to the republican standard and It Is ex
pected that ns many If not more who voted
the republican ticket In April will cast
their ballots for McKlnley and tho local
republican ticket this fall.
On Wednesday evening Candidate Pchultz
mot n couple of dozen of his republican
friends at the olllre of Cuddingtou & Wil
cox and nil wero unanimous In urging him
to remain on the ticket nnd make a fight
for the senatorshlp. The same was said to
Mr. Wilcox. Good feeling prevailed from
start to finish nnd tho meeting, while a
private one, wns productive of much good.
Senator VanDusen was called upqn for a few
remarks nnd he stated that he was for the
ticket from top to bottom. He further said
that he would stump the rojinty for the
entire ticket and would do everything In
his power to secure the election of Schultz
nnd Wilcox. He stated emphatically thnt
ho was not u soro head nnd waa well pnt-
Isflcd with tho ticket ns named. He con
sidered Schultz and Wilcox particularly
strong and Is of the opinion that they along
with the balance of tho ticket will be elected
In November.

Local democrats appear to bo greatly dis
gruntled over the ukase promulgated by
tho powers that be In Omaha In connection
with the nominations for state ofllcers. Ac
cording to tho plan now suggested South
Omahn will be given no representation In tho
stnte renate, but will he allowed to nlimo
three candidates for the lower houpe.
This declaration shuts nut a number of
candidates for Ihe senate, among them Br.
Thomas II. Rnsnr, who has been working
hard the Inst day nr two fixing up his
fences. Kfforts are being made by friends
of Knsor to Induce a reconsideration of the
orders issued, so that this city may be given
n stnte senatorial representation on tho
ticket.
In cape the scheme as now outlined stands
W. P. McBevltt. Phil Connell and Martin
Sullivan will without doubt be the choice
for representatives. This selection will
turn down Colonel C. M. Hunt and Doc Tnn
ner, who are nl-'n aspirants.
In speaking of the coining democratic
prlmirles nnd convention yesterday ono
well known democrat said that the differ
ences between the Knsor, Johnston nnd
Ilrcnnan factions of the democra''y could
not bo patched up nt this time, the Inter
ests of the factions being far apart. Fol
lowers nf Tom Brennan nro sore at Kn
sor for his alleged support of Mavor Kel
ly In the spring eimpalgn and the John
stonltei nre sore ot both tho Brennan nnd
Knsor factions for not permitting tho nom
ination of Johnson for mavor. There is
nnother Inflamed spot on tho Johnstonltes
nnd thnt Is the fact that after Johnston
had been turned down for mayor he mido
nn effort to be nominated for tho office
of city treasurer ond was defeated bv P.
J. Bock. Johnston's followers assert thnt
If It had not been for the opposition of
the Brennan and Knnnr factions their
man would have certainly been given sec
ond place on the ticket. Moreover tho
Knsor followers nre holding n grievance
hecau'e the Brennan nnd Johnston dele
gates did not withdraw after the first bal
lot In favor nf their man and there the
matter rests. The primaries to be held nn
September 20 will undoubtedly be Inter
esting In th" extreme and one nf tho old
time flchts will be the result.

The stutemcnt Issued hy the three na

was n surprise to a great many who nre
not awn io of the large financial transac
tions handled hero every day. One point
especially remarkablo Is the amount of
money being saved hy the working people
bore. This goes to show that the city Is
mere prosperous now than ever before In
Its history. Reports from country banks
received hero show that virtually the same
conditions prevail through the townR o
Nebraska nnd that generally speaking the
residents of the state are prosperous.
Very few people In South Omaha renllze 1
that the money deposited In threu banks ,
here amounts to over $i!.500,000.
