Hod Carrier' Union.
Th hopo that tbo season of 1901 would
pass without trouble In tho labor world ol
Omaha seems doomed to be shattered, and
a strike In tbo building trades, which will
Involvo two or more carpenter contractors,
seems Imminent.
Tbo first notlr.o of tho trouble given to
tho public was an advertisement In the
want columns of tho afternoon papers sax
log that hodcarrlers were wanted for the
season of 1001 at the Ilullders and Traders'
exchange. Investigation showed that the
relations between John Harts, gcnoral con
tractor, and mcmbcri, of tbo union, were
strained and that tho union members In
his employ would have been called out
Thursday afternoon had It not been that
Mr. Harto was attending the funeral of bis
brother, who died this week.
Cniitrnctr r Ohjrrt to trnlp,
Tho troublo originated over tho refusal
of two contractors, John Hartc and Walker
J. Phelps, to pay the scale demanded b
the hodcarrlers' union March 1. It was
undertsood that tbo contractors had agreed
to pay tbo scale, And the brick-building
contractors nnd ono or two of tbo general
contractors havo been paying men who car
ried tho hod 2715 cents an hour and other
laborers 25 cents an hour. Mr. Harto and Mr.
Phelp3 refuse to pay more than 25 cents
nn hour for any of the work, and have
all nlong Insisted that they should be per
mitted to secure unskilled labor without
reference to tbo union scale.
Trouble In Arrentunted.
Tho trouble on the Harto work, which at
this time includes tho construction of the
street car repair shops and barn at Twen
tieth and Harney streets and the improve
ments nt Guy Uarton's residence, Is ac
centuated by the fact tbAt Mr. Harte has In
his employ, It is said, a number of brick
layers who do not hold union cards. The
men wero members of the union, but vio
lated its rules by working for a general
contractor. The matter occupied the at
tention of one of tho Judges of the Douglas
county district court Inst winter and re
sulted In a legal nullification of the union's
rule, but tho penalty has never been lifted
from the offending members of tbo union
and It Is understood that the strike on tho
, Harto works will be general, as a demand
will bo made for tho discharge of the
bricklayers who arc out of the union.
The action tnken at last night's meeting
of the llulldlng Trades' council could not
be learned, as tho rules of the organization
forbid members to tell, and the press agent
did not care to do so.

Thursdays Inspection was the second oh
nual under Chief Donahue. With the ex
ception of a few years following the cloie
of the Seavey regime, Inspections have been
held annually during the fourteen years
that Omaha lias had the metropolitan poller
system. The last Inspection In recent
years, with the exception (of those under
Chief Donahue, was held by the late Martin
White In 1SJ3.

I MUSIC.
The concert which was given at the
Kountze Memorial church last night at
tracted a good sized audience. In splto of
uncomfortably calorie atmospheric In
fluences, Tho concert was given for tho benefit
of tho musical fund and was under the
auspices of the Ladles' Helping Hand so
ciety of tho church. Mr. Dclmoro Cheney,
tho choirmaster of the church, conducted
tho choral numbers and sang Dudley Duck's
"Creolo Love Song" with thorough finish
and style and with flno vocal showing.
Tbo chorus work was, generally speaking,
up to the high standard set by the choir
master, and was presented by a choir of
young musical people, many of whom pos
sess beautiful voices, others, good chorus
voices, and nil a good degree of musical
Intelligence. The program from a choral
standpoint was most exacting one, such
numbers as "The Bridal Chorus," from
"Tho Rose Maiden" of Cowcn; "Tho
Heavens Are Telling" chorus, from "The
Creation" (Haydn), and "The Sorrows of
Death," by C. Whitney Coombs, In addition
to two well known anthems.
Miss Nnudaln, a young singer In local
musical circles, appeared as a special solo
let. She has a good deal of temperament,
a pleasing voice and an attractive per
sonality. A little more "openness" of toue
and n limitation of the vibrato will work
wonders for her. She Is highly promising.
Mr. Dan Wheeler sang a couple of num
bers In a very artistic and effective man
ner, and Mr. L. C. Hazelton scored a pro
nounced success In his solo, portions of
'The Sorrows of Death." Mr. Stcckelberg,
tho young "Maestro" of tho violin, played
with his usual warmth of tone and Intel
ligence of Interpretation. Mr. Kelly played
two organ numbers nnd was accorded a
hearty reception. The accompaniments
were played In sympathetic stylo and with
good effect by Mr. Harnlsch, tho regular
organist. Miss Maude Petersen played sev
eral of the accompaniments on the piano
effectively.

A finer lot of policemen never went on
parade I nun those under Chief Donahue,
who wore ordered out for annual Inspec

time this season and presented an excep

was conducted' at the city Jail by Chlof
Donahue, , Mayor Moorcs, Commissioners
Collins, Kennedy nnd Hcafey. Commis

Tho mnnocuvers, which took placo on
Kleventh street In front of the Jail building,
wore well executed under the command of
Captain Hnycs, assisted by Captain Her and

Tlehout, who is under cmallpox quarantine
at tho Lnnge hotel, and Sergeant Wholan,

the members of the forco In his pleasing

If you know it's due to

had better consult your
doctor.
But if it comes from worry

UNINGER SENDS CURIOS
Severn! Ilia; Crate nmt Iloc Arrive
Ml Bonded Warehouse from
EPt.
During the last thirty days there have
arrived from time to time at the bonded
warehouse, Tenth and Leavenworth streets,
several large crates and boxes consigned
to Omaha by George W. LUlnger, who Is
traveling with his family In Egypt. It Is
known only that these packages contain
antiquities, relics, curios, bric-a-brac and
souvenirs gathered by Mr. Llnlnger from
tho banks of the Nile and the shadows of
the pyramids, and that they are designed
for the public libra'ry. Tbo agent of the
bonded warehouse was not furnished with
an Inventory of their contents.
Frank u. Halter, son-in-law of Mr. Lln
lnger, says these goods will remain In
bond until the latter's return, which will
be early In June. "Further than that some
bronzo statuary from Naples has arrived,"
said he, "I haven't the remotest Idea what
Is In these boxes and crates. They came
with the understanding that they would
be left In bond until Mr. Llnlnger's return,
and then he will oversee the placing of
tho various articles In the public library."

STRAY BULLET IN THE AIR
I'olicrninn Drop IIIk Revolver on Clt
Hall Step and Impact Explode
Cartridge,
A pistol shot fired from tho steps of tbo
city hall about 1 o'clock Thursday after
noon served to break the monotony of tho
day and to remind a score or more persons
who happened to be passing, Including Mayor
Moorrs, that "In tho midst of life we aro
lu death."
Two policemen. In n hurry to draw their
monthly pay, bad leaped off a passing street
car and were running up the stone steps
to greet the "ghost" In tho treasurer's
office, when a big U-callber revolver fell
out of the holster of one of them and
struck the granite. The Impact caused
one of the cartridges to explode.
It Is not known just what direction the
bullet took, but several of those on the
sidewalk testify to hearing It whir by their
heads.
The mayor followed tho officers into the
treasurer's office and reprimanded them
for their carelessness. The officers are
said to have been McDonald and Urban.

With last night's commencement exer
cises In the First I'resbyterlan church, the
Presbyterian Theological seminary closed
tho most succetsful year In Its history.
During the last few months the seminary
came Into absolute ownership of the build
ing at Ninth and Harney streets nnd ac
quired a desirable tract of land In Kountze
place, upon which a now seminary build
ing and a residence for the president are
to be erected within a few months nt a
cost of $50,000. Sufficient funds have been
rulsed to make It possible to begin work
on these new buildings at once.
Yesterday the board of directors of the
seminary visited the new site and ap
proved all the plans made by the hultdlng
committee. The board also authorized the
sale of tho old buildings. The funds of the
seminary are In such n condition, however.
that It will not be necessary to make this
sale until n fair price can be had for the
property.
Five young men were given the'r di
plomas from the seminary last night. Dr.
A. n. Marshall 'of Des Moines, president
of the board of directors, delivered the
annual address to tho class. "The Twen
tieth Century Trencher" was his theme. He
said:

Is the essential message they hnve for man.
Moody, Spurgeon nnd nil other successtui

Jesus Christ alone. They did not preach as
ministers or rortner centuries preacneu, dui
they brought the samo message.
The modern preacher must not fashion his
sermons nftcr those of a past generation.
He must not be bound by nrecedent. I
know of 100 Presbyterian churches and Sun
day schools which nre nying oecause meir
ministers arc using the methods of fifty
years ago.
In urging young ministers to be modern I

Orations were delivered by two members
of tho class, John Harland Andress and
James Donaldson Sweeney. Mr. Andress'
subject was "Christ, the Victor."
'Tho praise of earth la for the victor,"
said' the speaker. "Above all other vic
tors stands Jesus Christ. Pardon from sin,
reconciliation with God and strength to re
sist evil are to be found In Him. Through
a world of filth He passed unstained. Ho
not only conquered life, but Ho also con
quered death. He courted death that He
might rob It of Its sting. Victor In lift
nnd death, world-wide conqueror, Ho Is
ruler of the destiny of men and angels."
Mr. Sweeney spoke on "The Enduring
Word." ''Among the shifting things of
earth," he said, "man cries' for something
that is unchanging. The bible appeals to
man, who finds no foundation elsewhere.
It Is constant and offers hope In every trial.
Herodotus and Llvy ore known only to a
few, but the bible Is open to all. It is tho
book of tho multitudes. Attacks of In
fidels, atheists and agnostics have not In
jured It and It stands as man's comforter
and salvation."
Dr. M. D. Lowrle made a brief address
to the class on behalf of the faculty and
welcomed the graduates to a placo among
tho workers In God's vineyard. Diplomas
wero presented to the graduates by Dr.
A. 15. Marshall.

Tho proposition to purchase two lots ad
Joining the present High school elto on the
north Is attracting some attention nt this
time. While It to generally agreed that the
land Is needed In order to provide sufficient
room for a building of tho proportions pro
posed tho price demanded, 16,500, la cohbW
ercd entirely too high.
At the tlmo bids were advertised for by
the Board of Education this property In
question was offered for 15,000 and real
estate dealers say that It has not Increased
In value to any appreciable extent since the
first offer.
In case thn board docs not feel like pay
ing tho price asked it can go ahead and
ctart condemnation proceedings In the
county court, and then the question of
price will be left to a board of appraisers
appointed by the court. It Is asserted that
the board Is willing to acquire this addi
tional tract of land for $5,000, but cannot
sco Its way clear to pay any more and tho
chances are that If anything is done toward
securing tho land the first step will be
taken through tho court.
Architect L. A. Davit has completed all
the plans, sketches, working drawings, etc.,
for the erection of tho High school build
ing and as far as he is concerned the
board is at liberty to order the starting of
the work at once.
It Is understood that some action will be
taken at the regular monthly meeting of
the board noxt Monday night. It nny be
however, that this Important question may
not finally be disposed of on account of the
reorganization of the board. Should there
be any difficulty In naming the president.
vice president and secretary, It stands to
reason that the High school matter will to
over until later, but If Ihe reorganization
goes off smoothly the question will be con
sidered. Coreoritn Arretted Asnln.
Upon a complaint tworn to by Charles
O'HcArn, John Corcoran wns arrested yes
terday by city detectives and arraigned be
fore Police Judge King on the charge of
forgery. Some little time ago O'Henrn waa
arrested and bound over to the district
court for forging and passing a raised pack
ing house check. O Hearn was released on
ball and yeitcrday forenoon he visited the
county attorney dud swore to the complaint
which landed young Corcoran In Jail.
From what can be learned of the transac
tions of these two young men, they made
a living by working, paper. O'Hearn would
go to some saloon or packing house pay day
nnd buy a check for a small amount. This
paper ho would turn over to Corcoran, who
Is an expert penman, nnd the check would
be raised and cashed. O'Hearn as n rule
bought the chocks and disposed of them,
It Is said, while Corcoran did the fancy
work with pen and nclds.
It will be remembered that this samo
pair was brought back from Kansas City
ny enter .Mitcncii some months ago tor
having in their possession a wntch stolen
from well known society woman, Upon
reaching Kansas City letters wero written
to South Omaha agreeing to return the
timepiece providing a certain amount of
money wns sent by express. The police
were notified nnd the young men arrested.
Through a technicality of some sort they
escaped punishment and at once returned
to the old vocation.
Upon being arraigned Corcoran pleaded
not guilty and the trial was set for Monday.
He expects to furnish $500 ball, which was
demanded by the court.
Ilnt'tor I, imc lliis,
The relations existing between County
Commissioner Thomas Doctor nnd tho city
administration are somewhat strained Just
now and all on account of the c.itchlng nf
one of the Hoctor herd of canines by tho
city poundmaster. Immediately nftcr learn
ing of the capture of the dog Hoctor ap
plied to Pollco Judge King for a warrant
for the arrest of the dog catcher on thn
ground that dogs arc now property In Ne
braska. Judge King declined to Issue nJ
warrant until he had looked up the taw,
und so tho matter rests for the time being.
In speaking of the case tho poundmaster
says thnt the ordinance under which he Is
working 13 considered legal In every re
spect nnd that he shall continue to follow
out the the provisions of the law as laid
down to hltn, no matter who complains,
Clerk I'cnrl ltelKti.
Fred Pearl for a number of years past
clerk of Modern Woodman camp No. 1000,
has tendered his resignation and Frank
Dennis has been named by the lodge to
succeed him. Mr. Pearl's Increasing busi
ness now takes all of his time nnd It Is
said that he cannot attend to the duties of
the office nnd nt the some time look after
his own affairs. Members of this lodge say
that Mr. Pearl has made a most acceptable
olerk and that they are loth to part with
his services. As for the new clerk, ho la
stated to be competent In every way and
Is exceedingly popular among the members.
lnpeclor Xced .Money.
Under the new charter, the Inspectors
who have formerly subsisted upon fees now
turn In all fees to the city treasurer. This
compels them to wait until the council or
ders warrants drawn on the fund for their
allowance. On March 23 tho Inspectors
commenced working under the now charter
and since that time not a single one of
them has received any compensation. Th
charter permits the clerk lo draw warrants
on the first of each month for the amount
allowed tho Inspectors, but Clerk Shrlgley
has declined to' do this until authorized to
do so by the council. The question will
bo brought to. tho attention of the city
authorities next . Monday night.
Print the Charier.
There Is a constant demand for copies of
the charter, but so far the city authorities
have not taken any steps toward having
tho charter, as revised and passed, printed
In pamphlet form. The few copies of the
chnrter In the city have the amendments
written In by hand.
Attorneys and business men are con
stantly referring to the chnrter. ns well na
others Interested. It Is asserted that If the
charter was printed the books could read
ily be sold to tnoso who nre interested In
knowing the exact provisions of the charter.
Settlement Talked Of.
Liquor dealers continue alow In putting
up 11,200 for license this year. The occu
pation tax Is what sticks and the hold
back Is caused by rumors of a settlement
of some sort. Yesterday a number of
saloon keepers asserted that thero was
some chance of the occupation tax of $200
either being cut off entirely or cl9o reduced
to 1100 As there Is no hopo of anything
being done until next Monday night, when
tho council meets In regular monthly ses
sion, the chances are that very few dis
pensers .of liquors will part with their
money until after the session Monday
night.
Count- Aeor I'onliliiK.
The county assessors are moving along
with their work In good shape and the
books will bo completed in the allotted
time. Frank Rurnesa, assessor for the o'd

and medical attendance arc furnished free
In addition to pay. with the privilege of re
tirement nftcr thirty years' service on
three-quarters pay. Kach applicant Is re
quired to pass a severe physical examina
tion. "Hecrultlng material for the navy has
Just been about exhausted In the cast," said
Knglncer Cnsey. "and the department has
been compelled to turn to the great west.
Pcrhnps 15 per cent of applicants in the
east nre accepted, while from 85 to 00 per
cent of tho western men aro taken. I can
not attempt to explain why the westerners
are so far superior physically, but It U n
fact Medical officers of the navy agree
that the avcrago westerner Is head and
shoulders above tho eastern man in n lit
eral senso as well ns figuratively.
"Our party has been out sluce January
1. starting from Norfolk, Va and having
visited New York and Boston nnd thirteen
cities of the middle west. In ench of tho
latter we have advertised our wants within
a radius of 200 miles. Nearly, if not quite,
1,000 recruits havo been secured, which
gives our party the record of getting the
highest number of enlistments In that
period o; time. The last congress mado
provision for an Increase of C.500 men In
tho navy and this quota Is being rapidly
filled. Wo stay In Omaha one week and go
to Minneapolis and Indianapolis. This will
probably complete our work nnd I do not
suppose another naval recruiting station
will be opened here for years, at least not
until congress again increases the naval
establishment. I see no reason why Ne
braska should not furnish Its full share of
men nnd do ns well ns her sister states."
