after the viands were discussed, passed
very pleasantly with songs, toasts and
reminiscences, all racy, of tho I'hlllpplne
soil and of tho stirring times of the sum
mer of 1898. Collectively speaking, the
company was very young to be veterans
of a war. Most of them were still "beard
less boys," as the newspapers described
them when they marched to the front.
A favorite theme for witticisms wns a

fondly referred to by his comrades as "tho
old man," drovo a four-mule team between
tho camp and the supply depot and bo-
caueo of hln peculiar fitness In this ca
pacity tho boys mado a song about him.
This ditty was sung last night lth great
gusto. Tho first stanza runs ns follows:
I saw the old man coming down tho patn
way. Coming with his "chinos" nnd his pack;
Hut he little knew tho sorrow that ho
brought us
When be banded us that salmon nnd
hardtack.
Tho word "chinos" wns current slang for
tho Chlneso civilians who assisted Har
rison In tho apportionment of the supplies.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Oltj Has Sereral Plaai for Defeat of N
Street Sewer Injunction,
PROTEST COMES AFTER LONG DELAY
-pkkI Department of Municipality I
llusy 1'repnrtiiK- for the Iloiit IHs
uppolii t ineiit Among kcliool
Tcnchers,
Whllo the N street sewer Injunction case
will not, In all probability, be tried on Au
gust 1G, the dato which Is now set apart for
that purpose, still the legal department Is
doing all within Its power to have the facts
In a presentable style for Mr. Lambert
when ho returns. Naturally until his re
turn no definite defense will be decided
upon.
It Is generally rumored, however, that the
city expects to defeat the Injunction on sev
eral grounds. Tho ono which seems to re
ceived tho most credit is tho fact that for
almost ten years tho N street sewer has
been emptying Into the Identical spot
wherein It now empties and that tho prop
erty owners In that vicinity havo either
been asleep or seized with an extrcrao senss
of modesty, falling, ns they have, to make
any complaint to the city regarding tho un
pleasant condition of the creek which car
ries away the sewage from tho lino.
What would be dono by the city In tho
event tho district court granted an Injunc
tion against tho sewer emptying Into this
creek Is a question which Is bothering the
department. Ofuclals say that In order to
complete tho lino so ns to reach tho river
either tho sewer must bo laid across tho
prlvato premises of Individual property own
ers nt tho foot of N street, which Is hardly
to bo tolerated under the law, or the street
will have to be graded down to mnko a
proper flow for tho sewer. This lattor pol
icy cannot bo adopted until tho requisite
number of property owners sign a proper ap
plication to hnvo tho street graded and even
If It wero done the lino could not be com
pleted this fall.
This Banie matter was aired to somo ex
tent nbout two years ago and nt that time
tho city appointed a committee, composed
of physicians, huslncss men and city ofTl
clals, and It was Investigated fully. The
commltteo In Its report at that tlmo said
thnt It could find no lll-cftects of the sewer
emptying whero It now does and did not
bellnvo It was detrimental to health or de
preciated the value of property in that vi
cinity. Tho Importance of tho case can bnrdly be
exaggerated. In the event tho district court
should order tho city to refrain from con
tinuing to allow the sewer to empty where
It now does, this whole sewer district would
be tied up for nbout n year. Even If the
property owners should nllow tho city to
cross their private premises to lay unsightly
sower pipes, which Is very Improbable, It
would take sevoral months to do tho work,
or, If the street should be graded down to
reach a proper level for the laying of pipes
along tho highway, before oven the grad
ing could bo completed frost would be tn
the ground, rendering tho work of laying
the sewer pipes nlmost nn utter Impossibil
ity, In tho menntlmo this whole neighbor
hood would absolutely ho without sewer con
nections nnd most of tho residences along
this street hnvlng been built with tho view
of using this Identical sewer, n placo for
the dumping of refuso would bo a very dif
ficult matter.
However, tho legal department seems to
bo of the opinion that there Is no danger of
tho district court ordering tho city, forth
with at least, to closo up thbi sewer. At
torneys say that there nro too many people
all along N street nnd other points Included
within this district to thus Inconvenience to
meet tho demands of a handful ot property
owners at the Immediate point of complaint,
even though there Is truth In what they say
about It being a public nuisance.
Permanent gldetTitlk Gossip.
After hnvlng Introduced an ordlnanco
creating permanent sidewalk districts
throughout tho city tho council seems to
havo relapsed Into a sleepy state, so far
as this subject Is concerned,
Tho permanent sidewalk theory Is n pet
Iden of City Attorney Lambert and En
gineer nenl, who feel that this would do
away with n great many of tho personal
Injury dnmnge BUlts which nro being llled
ngalnst the city and on which damages nro
being nnnually awarded. However, since
Mr. Lnmbert hnB been away tho council
has dono little or nothing with this mat
ter, but have allowed It to drift along
without decisive action.
In his communication of August 1 Mr.
Lnmbert suggested tho Importance of this
matter and said that It would do away
with a great many of tho cases which nro
pending ngalnst the city. Ho earnestly
recommended tho council to glvo this their
Immediate attention, saying that he felt
confident that n morn profltablo measure
could not be Introduced,
After tho new districts nre created and
tho dimensions of tho permanent side
walks aro mado It Is thought that tho city
will proceed to have many of tho dilapi
dated walks placed In a better condition
by being replaced with permanent sidewalks
of artificial stono, ns the permanent walk
ordinance calls for.
Teneliern Are Dlnnppotntcd,
There Is moro or less complaint going tho
rounds among the newly elected teachers
of the South Omaha schools over the fail
ure of the Hoard of Education at Its last
msetlng to assign tho tenchers' list. It
was given out several weeks ago that this
would bo dono nt this last meeting, hut
it seems that the board either overlooked
or disregarded the Importance of It. The
theory is advanced by some that tho fall
uro of tho board to as yet rent tho empty
rooms for school purposes around tho town
Is the ronton for their failure to make
assignments. However, tho renting of
rooms Is now In the hands of tho com
mittee on buildings nnd grounds nnd It will
furnish a report at tho next meeting,
.Still Itemnlim Unequipped,
Although tho city counctl somo weeks
ago voted to thoroughly equip tho now
Second ward flrohnll with tho latest tire
righting apparatus, no equipments, except
somo minor ones, hnvo been placed In this
place nnd It still stands, nn expense to
tho city nnd of hut little use to tho com
munity. Chief JJttcr somo tlmo ago Im
pressed upon tho council the importance
of this flro stntlnn, showing that It was
of almost Inestlmnble value to people In
Its Immediate vicinity, and acting upon
his suggestion It was placed there and a
motion carried empowering the proper
commltteo to see abouj purchasing what
wat needed. No explanation of the delny
Is furnished.

HONOLULU, July 31. (Special Corre
spondence ot Tho Bee.) The United States
army transport Thomas, enrouto to Ma
nlal, V. 1., with 503 teachers aboard, ar
rived hero today. The trip from San
Francisco has been mado In a llttlo over a
week without accident.
This undertaking of tho United States,
without question tho greatest from an edu
cational ami civil standpoint that has
ever been proposed by any country, Is
looked upon with some considerable npprc
henslon by a great many who havo been
watching tho development of tlm Philip
pine Islands. Notwithstanding the "hoots
and Jeers" of those who would throw cold
water on any progressive step, nearly 1,000
teachers will within a few weeks bo work
ing In various parts ot tho Philippines. The
educational system contemplates tho estab
lishment of normal nnd Industrial schools
at Manila, with primary nnd secondary
schools throughout tho Islands. Tho Eng
lish Inngungo will bo made tho basis for
all teaching In all tho schools, although It
will be some tlmo until much progress can
be made In this direction.
If ono could look In upon tho crowd ot
teachers on tho transport Thomns thero
would bo no doubt of their enthusiasm or
of their convictions ns to tho futuro of tho
Filipino. Thero nro teachers men and
women from every stnto In tho union,
graduates of tho universities, colleges and
normal schools, Somo have had a wido ex
perience In various klndB of tenchlng,
others very limited experience, hut all with
n full determination to mnko tho experi
ment of the United States government In nn
educational way in tho Phllipplno Islands
n success from tho beginning, ns has been
tho experiment of tho civil governmont so
far as organized. It is tho conviction of
well Informed men who havo studied tho
conditions of society In those Islands that
with tho organization of civil and edu
cational Institutions thero thero will bo
such a wonderful development In nil lines
of Industry that there can bo found no ono
who will sny tho advent of tho United
States government Into tho cast will have
been a mistake. Bo that as It may, tho
transport Thomns, which landed horo to
day, bears a largo number of wide-awake,
enthusiastic, well qualified men and
women to carry out tho formulated plans
of tho government Which has taken upon
Itself tho burden of propnrlng tho native
Filipino for civil nnd political liberty.
