The finance committee of the Hoard of

The trcaflUter, In responding to tho request
of the committee, goes Itlto details, no',
only showing the sum required, but back
ing up his figures with calculations show
ing tho process by which tho results nru
arrived at. In opening his report he cites
tho terms of tho state law governing school
boards In cities of tho metropolitan class
and quotes part of tho law, tin follows.
They (tho Hoard nf Kducntlon) shall
nlso, Immediately after the expiration of
one-half of tho time for which snld bonds

Tho report then gives tho condition of tho

Is as follows:

In explanation of tho above figures It Is
said that, while $20,000 should havo been
ilnnnnltpil January 1. 1898. this was not
done, but that audi a sum was deposited
I January 1, 1S99, and that a similar amount
was set nsldo January 1, 1900; that tho
difference between the amount on hand and
tho $10,000 paid in represents tho premium
upon bonds purchased with tho cash turned
over by tho board.
It Is claimed by some of tho members
of tho board that tho Item of $17,343.00
charged by Treasurer Honnlng Is not to bo
sot osldo until tho ond of next ycr, re
ducing tho total of $92,306.61 by that
amount. Allowing theso contentions would

According to tho books of tho treas
urer, thero aro general fund wnrrants out
standing to tho nmount of $105,620.17, Jan
uary 1, 1902, tho semi-annual Interest on
tho bonded debt must bo paid, Involving
tho oxpendlturo of $20,471, and tho pay roll
for Doccmber, approximately $45,000, must
bo met, making total demands upon that
fund by the closo of tho year of $171,091.17.
Against this amount thero Is now In the
treasury $20,108.12, and estimated recolpts
from taxes in December of $6,000, leaving
a total Indebtedness In this fund of $144,
983.05; and this Is the fund from which
nearly $100,000 must bo tnken, according
to tho statement of tho treasurer, to pro
vide for tho redemption of tho bonds as
they becomo duo.
When tho present Hoard of Education
took cljargo of affairs In 1901 thero was a
debt of $156,125.98 upon tho board, ex
cluslvo of tho bonded Indebtedness. When
the present year closes this dobt will have
Increased to $163,607.55, an Increase of
$7,461.37 over last year. In tho same tlmo
tho board has received $200,000 more than
the amount received by Its predecessor,
making Its expenditures about $207,000 In
excess of that expended In 1900.

lo Mltnoss some ot the splendid productions
given so complete In their scenic environ
ment nnd so beautifully eostutued as aro
somo of hit classic plays by modern ex
ponents of the dramatic nrt. Certainly, tho
bard of Avon would find much gratification
In Mmo. Modjeska's splendid portrayal of
the character of the Ill-fated wife ot Henry
V11I, Queen Katherlne, nnd likewise In the
excellent Impersonation by Loula James of
the crafty Cardinal Wolsey.
Friday night brought the first appearance
In Omaha of Mme. Modjeska and Mr. James
as Joint stars, and It was In the naturo ot
n personal triumph for each of these ac
complished artists. Such combinations of
tnlont r.ro rarely seen upon tho local stage,
and aro thoroughly appreciated and en
joyed by the theater-goers. Of the per
formance of "Henry VIII" uven the hyper
critical must bow In surprised admiration.
Tho production wns noblo and majestic. In
a senBO It was overpowering nnd criticism
In detnll Is made Inappropriate. It was a
combination of poetry. Impressive nctlng
nnd superb spcctncle. Description Is In
adequate. An actress of tho graces and arts
of Mmo. Modjeska U so delightful In any
rolo that sho undertakes that It Is dllllcult
to determine In which she Is nt her best.
To a personality most agreeable, Madamo
Modjcfkn unites keen Intelligence, tho nicest
tasto nnd n facility of technique that havo
not been surpassed by nny artist of her
time. Thero Is so much In her nctlng to nd
mlro that It Is almost Impossible in a brief
space to meto out Justice to her.
Tho Cardinal Wolsey of Louis James Is n
masterpiece. If any reason had been of
fered before In objecting to Mr. James as
ono of tho best representatives of legiti
mate acting. It has been removed. Mr.
James must henceforth bo regarded as one
of tho best living actors of today. Tho. bal
ance of the company Is wholly adequate to
the demands made.

Tho legal department of tho city scored
another victory In tho district court yes
terday. This was tho case whero Anna
Zeller sought to secure damages In tho
sum of $1,500 on nccount ot n change In
tho grade at Twenty-third nnd Q streets.
Tho plaintiff alleged that tho cutting down
of tho roadway In front of her property
caused n decrease In the value of tho prop
erty to the amount of tho claim. After
listening to tho testimony, Judgo Slabaugh
took the case away from tho Jury and dis
missed tho suit.
This makes tho second suit against tho
city dismissed In ono wcelL Tho first ono
was whero Herman Zcllcr brought suit to
recover $20,000 on account of Injuries al

pared his caso very thoroughly and was
naturally gratified of the decision of tho
court. Zeller olleged In his petition that
ho was not Intoxicated at tho time of tho
accident, while witnesses for the city as
serted that he was. When Zellcr called
ono of his witnesses to prove that ho was
not under tho Influence of liquor Mr. Lam
bert produced n document bearing teller's

ho would testify ns to his sobriety on tho

Shrlncrs wero assembled at tho tcmplo
when tho work on tho pllgrlmago across
tho frigid sands began. It Is usually burn
