Two NrgstlTs Votes.
The vote on the foregoing was 13 to 2,
President Barnard and Robert Smith vot
ing negatively. This ' reduces Principal
Waterbouse's salary from $2,400 per year
to $2, 1C0, and that of Miss McHugh from
$160 to $150 per month. It was proposed at
an earlier meeting to reduce the seven In
structors holding positions aa beads of de
partments to teachers "In the ranks,"' and
to reduce their salaries from $118 per
month to $100, but as four of the best
teachers threatened to resign If this was
done, it was decided to rescind that action,
and the matter stands now as before.
The promotion Of J. H. Woolery to sec
ond assistant principal at the High school
amounts to an Innovation', as there has
been no such office heretofore' as second
assistant principal. He stilt retains his
position as head of the mathematics de
partment, and' will have supervision . ot
fifty-two classes.

Alexander Hogeland Eevivei EETort to
Place Ordinance in Effect
ASKS MINISTERS FOR THEIR CO-OPERATION
Enforcement ot Present Deflrleis
Statnte or Its Repeal and (
tltitlon by Better One
Will Be Sonant.
Another attempt Is to be made at en
forcing a curfew ordinance in Omaha, as
the result of a meeting held at Young
Men's Chrlsttsn association headquarters
Monday night, at which Alexander Hoge
land of Louisville, Ky., president of the
Boys' and Girls' National home and leader
of the curfew crussde, addressed a small
gathering. A committee of five. Including
Mr. Hogeland, was appointed at the meet
ing to confer this afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the Toung Men's Christian association
as to definite plsns of procedure.
The Idea Is to get the matter before the
city council with expedition and supported
by the greatest possible Influence. To ac
complish this it wss suggested that the
committee on conference this afternoon
place the proposition before the local min
isterial assoctstlon with the recommenda
tion that each pastor submit the question
to his congregation next Sunday, It possi
ble, and get an expression ot the church
going populace. It Is believed that every
church congregation in the city will accord
a unanimous vote to the enforcement ot
some sort of an ordinance to keep chil
dren off the streets at night and the ad
vocates of the movement feel assured that
with such potency back of them they could
present their plea to the council with rea
sonable, if not unquestionsble, hopes of
success.
Leaders of Movement.
The meeting Monday night was presided
over by Dr. W. O. Henry and D. Burr
Jones, superintendent of the boys' depart
ment of ths Young Men's Christian associa
tion, acted as secretary. The committee
appointed to meet this afternoon to shape
further action was: Dr. Henry, chairman:
Rev. T. Anderson, psstor of the Calvary
Baptist church; H. F. Bundy, Rev. A. W.
Clark and Alexander Hogeland.
The statute books of ths city of Omaha
now contain a curfew ordinance that was
ensoted some five years ago, but it has
been considered unconstitutional by prom
inent attorneys and is not enforced. One
of its deficiencies is the lack of an enact
ing clause; no provision is made for the
punishment of offenders. This, however,
wss looked upon by some of those at ths
meeting as a matter that could be easily
adjusted, either by having the ordinance
amended or repealed and substituted by
one whose validity would stand the test of
legal scrutiny. Dr. Henry and Mr. Hoge
land both advocated this method. The sen
timent of the meeting wss that Omaha Is
badly in need of a curfew ordinance and
that It was straining the point to quibble
over technicalities of law In the construc
tion of such a statute.
Ordinance ae Model.
The model ordinance which Mr. Hogeland
recommends for Omaha is that in force in
Indianapolis. It prohibits any child under
the age of 15 years from being on the
streets unattended by parent, guardian or
custodian after 8 o'clock at night and im
poses a fine cot to exceed $5 for every viola
tion of this provision and for the "parent,
cuatodlan or guardian" who allows or per
mits any such child to violate this . or
dinance a fine of from $1 to $10 ia pre
scribed. Contingencies are provided, how
ever, in ths execution of these penalties.
Upon the child's arrest, Instesd of proceed
ing with the action agalnat him his "par
ent, custodian or guardian" must first be
summoned and bis or her wishes as to
the disposition of the Juvenile offender's
case consulted. Only where the "parent,
custodian or guardian" refuses to bo held
responsible for the child's action will the
latter be placed in confinement, taking it
for granted that he Is not In possession ot
the facilities necessary for meeting the pe
cuniary demands of. the law.
Many arguments were advanced by Mr.
Hogeland to show that Omaha should bave
a curfew ordinance. He based bis remarks
upon the general assertion that this is the
most lmportsnt bit of municipal reform
before the public.
In General Operation. .
Three thousand cities had adopted this
law, governora of every state in the union
had given it their Indorsement and bat a
few mayors now opposed It.
Mr. Hogeland had no fault to find with
the city officials of Omaha; indeed be be
lieved they were consclsntlously striving
to perform their respective duties and he
had faith In securing the enforcement of
a eurfew ordinance if one wss properly
drawn and presented to ths council.
The establishment of municipal employ
ment bureaus and a system tfor deterring
vagrancy and sending youthful "tramps'
back to their homes was also discussed.

Delegates from Omaha snd adjacent Ne

meets In Denver June 25, will leave Omaha
on a special Burlington train In two sec
tlons, the first section of which departs st
6:15 the afternoon before. Going through
Llr.coiu, ' this train will connect with the
Evangel special carrying the Missouri
delegates, and it Is probable that ths two
trains will be merged Into one, which will
run from Lincoln out In three sections, the
first division leaving Lincoln st 7:30 p. m
Pullman rsr accommodations straight

POLICE ARE AFTER BURGLARS
Three Suspects Already 1'nder Arrest
with Complaints Against

For seversl weeks the police department

and Fred Wagner, and in these men the
officers believe they have a portion. It not
the principal, part ot an organized gang of
thieves.
Complaints have been filed against Dean

COMMOTION IN COURT ROOM
Indian Girl Shows Signs of Smallpox
and Cannes n Stam
pede. Henuka Grayhalr Is only a bright eyed
little Winnebago Indian lassie, 6 years ot
age but yesterday morning she clesned out
United States district court room as com
pletely and effectually as though she had
been a squsd of armed bluecoats with rlflos
leveled.
This little girl, who has Just left the estate
ot a papoose, has lived on the Nebraska
agency all her life with Louis Grayhalr,
the stalwart buck, who Is her father.
Henuka has for the first time come to a
city, but that she would create a sensation
in it she had never dreamed. She did,
however, and it happened like this.
Henuka bad the smallpox. Not when
she entered- the court room, so a physi
cian's certificate says, but she has Just re
covered from a very severe attack ot It and
her face looks as bad now as It ever could
have looked when the fever was at Its
height.
So when the pockmarked, fostered baby
face appeared in court yesterday morning
the word smallpox quickly went around, and
there was a general rush for the different
escapes. When order was restored and the
certificate produced from Louts' pocket
court proceeded, but Henuka was removed
to the corridors under her mother's care.
DEMOCRATS OF EIGHTH WARD
Castas Selects Delegate Ticket
Opposed to the Herdmaa
Leadership.''
' ' ' -4 ' ' 1
At a meeting of Eighth ward democrats
last night candidates for delegates to ths
county convention strictly opposed to the
leadership of the Herdmans were selected.
The hall at Twenty-second and Cuming
streets waa comfortably filled with demo
crats who were present to fight ths re
ported plan of the Herdmans to bave their
friends control the caucus. If any of the
latter were present they failed to mske a
showing or answer sny of the several
speeohes that were made In opposition to
the Herdmans. The following delegstes
were chosen unanimously: Ed A. Smith,
Dr. Lee Van Camp, Ernest Mertens, Daniel
Burton, John T. Hart, H, Overbeck, J. P.
Lane, Frank Rasmusaen, Harry Hartry,
William E. Cleeton. W. P. Conklln, Theo
dore Kelley, Harry McVea, Charles Kelley,
James Wilson, Barry Concannon. The del
egates wsrs instructed to vote for none
but "known capable and honest men."
Short talks were made by J. P. Butler, Ed
A. Smith and James Lane, who urged the
voters and delegates to turn out the day
of the primary election and be prepared to
fight any move that the Herdmans might
attempt to defeat the delegation.

faced a court-martial In tbe Philippines
for executing the famous order of General
Jacob Smith to "kill and burn," passed
through Omaha yeaterday at the head of
a marine corps consisting ot five other
officers and 200 enlisted men. They were
on their wsy from San Francisco to the
government navy yards at Brooklyn.
No exertion of faith Is required to, be
lieve Major Waller when he ssys he Is
thoroughly tired out from the long and
severe ordeal of warfare In tbe Philippine
islands. He looks all of it. It Is no
wonder, when he relates a part of his
thrilling experiences, that his chief object
now Is to seek root and relief from any
thing that pertains to military duty.
"It is not nscessary to ask me If I
really did carry out General Smith's order
to 'kill and burn,' or at least It is use
less that I answsr that question, for I
bave admitted the fact time and time
again, and my first affirmation was not
mads in the United States. I obeyed tbe
order given me and I hsve not yet ques
tioned ths sanity of that order," said the
soldier. '
Of his work In tbe Islsnds the major saw
no reason for remorse. His conviction in
the Injustice of the charges preferred
against htm, or. In other words, his abso
lute sstlsfactlon of his own conduct
throughout the entire campaign he affirms
with grest emphasis, but he withholds harsh
criticism for the making of the charges.
"Oh. yea." Interjected Waller, helping
bis timid Interviewer out cf an embarrass
ing situation, "I really was charged with
murder, plain murder. Yon needn't be
backward In asking me that question." But
ths major looked anything but a murderer.
Ilia appearance Is that ot a soldier and
nothing more.
Major Waller repeated what he has said
upon former occasions, that Samar Is about
ths hottest place be has ever yet come
across, Hs expressed It by saying that
"H la a summer resort besids Samar."
A long and perilous campaign of Filipino
fighting in thia torrid Island has empha

Amounts paid into State Treasury
from December 1, 1900, to May
26th, 1902 $2,081,186.08
Balance uncollected May 26, 1902 .. $2,783,063.04 .
The purpose in the collection of tax is
to raise money with which to carry on the'
government. It is the duty of the State
officers to certify out to the various coun
ties a rate of levy that should -raise suffic
ient revenue with which to carry on the
business of the State.
This duty has been attended to by t'he
various administrations, but there has
taxes. The result is that at the close of
busiuee on May 1!7, 1002, there was an out
standing indebtedness of the State,
amounting to $1,010,000.08, and there was
a balance of uncollected taxes due from
the various counties, to the State, amount
ing to $2,783,003.04.
It can be seen that if those delinquent
taxes had been paid, there would have
been a surplus in the treasury of the State
and no outstanding obligations whatever.
While the collections made from Dec.
1st, 1000 to May 20th, 1002 would indicate
that a portion of these delinquent taxes
were being paid, it can hardly be expected
that' enough of these arrearages can be
collected to wipe out the complete indebt
edness of the State.
We shall try in future articles to show
where this great delinquency in payment'
of taxes originates. The first duty of good
citizenship is to pay the tax that is neces
sary to meet State, County and City ex
penses. In the long list of delinquent tax
payers, no railroad will be found delin
quent in payment of any legal taxes, al
though the payment of taxes in several
instances has practically absorbed all of
the net earnings of the company for a term
of years.

NOTE. From 1893 to 1900, the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
Railroad paid 16 8-10 per cent of it's net earnings for taxes.

Margaret Sidney has written another
Pepper book entitled "Five Little Peppers
Abroad." This very newest of the Pepper
stories is Just as charming as the other
books that have preceded it in the series,
It takes Mother Pepper, now Mother
Fisher, the little doctor, Polly and Phronsls
over seas, with Grandpa King. Jaspsr and
Parson and Mrs. Henderson. There in new
scenss and new sxpsrlences the brightness,
the wit, the kindliness, the keen knowl
edge of child nature that have made all
ths Pepper books so irresistible, are Just
as conspicuous as they havs been in the
Pepper stories at home. The new scenes
across ths ocean makes the book doubly
Interesting and after we read the book we
feel thankful that friends appealed to the
author of the Pepper family for a contin
uance of their history. It Is printed by the
Latbrop Publishing company and contains
eight illustrations.
"The Rescue," by Ann Douglas Sedwlck,
is new story, with the scene in Paris.
A young Engllshmsn falls in lovs with a
portrait of a girl and on Inquiry finds the
original is now aa elderly woman with hair
streaked with gray, who has a dsugbter of
marriageable age who Is loved by an el
derly gentleman. The mother, a noble and
refined woman with a strong sens of duty,
had sacrificed her high place in English
society by marrying, .when an. inexperi
enced girl, a disreputable and brutal
French painter, and her tragedy, closed
by her husband's death. Is reopened for
her as she watches with terror and loath
ing the forces of heredity working in their
child. This girl. Claire, is a frivolous girl,
looking for a husband, with an Interest
in self and but little love for her mother.
Thus she analysed herself: "I needed
power and wealth all the real foundations
of happiness and nobility. Then ah, then
I should have blossomed. Or else, falling
them, I needed liberty and Joy the life of
Bohemian. I have had neither the one
nor the other and If I seem almost wicked
to you It is because of that. To me wicked
ness seems going against one's nature. I
have always been forced to go against
mine." The "rescue" may' be taken to
mean either the stopping of the girl's
elopement with a nobleman or the mother's
being relieved of the life of drudgery and
sacrifice to others, which had been her
lot, by marrying the young Englishman.
