It la understood that aa soon ai Mr. Mnrdock returne from bla vacation be Will look Into the matter and If his vlewa concur with thoae of the mayor and members f the street and alley committee, an ordinance will be presented. City Engineer Beal asserts that at leaat two dosen wooden shacks are now standing with la the fire limits and that for the pro tection of the adjoining property these should be torn down. . It was not very long ago that Chief Etter of the fire department talked about this mafter to a number of city officials and (t waa then practically agreed that the pro posed ordinance would meet with no- op position. Merchants In the business portion of the eity are Interested In having these shacks orn down, as It Is asserted that possibly a decrease In the Insurance rates might be made on account of less risk. The matter Is to be pushed by those who have buildings In close, proximity to the shacks Included la the engineer's report. More) Clraalns t'p. Since the mayor has succeeded In having the street force do a little work on the river road Sanitary Inspector Jones pro poses starting out to serve a lot of notices to have the alleys and backyards cleaned tip.. Not for a number of years haa the city een In such a poor sanitary condition. The city authorities are not, however, all to fclame, as It wa4 found Impossible to find suitable dumping grounds for refuse. Now Chat arrangements tor a road to the river fcave been made It Is the Intention of the ity offlolals to keep tha garbage wagons moving, and the orders to clean up issued toy the Inspectors will ba enforced, even though H be necessary to go Into the courts. i Already Inspector Jenes has caused half dosen warranta to be served .on property .owners who permit waste water to run Into tha gutters Instead of making connections With a sewer. The health department pro ; poses demanding that . every one who can without too much expense make connec tion with a sewer must do so. A couple of arrests were made yesterday on thta icharge and more will follow today. Secretary Marsh Talks. Secretary Charles Marsh of the local Young Men's Christian association said yes terday to a Bee reporter that preparations ;rc being made for the season'a activities . auong ail lines, t "The membership," Mr. Marsh said, "Is I much larger than ever before. On August 'l the total was 406. The rooms of the as sociation were so overcrowded last season that the board of managers decided to ae- 'cure additional quarters and . the rooms secured on the aecond floor will add greatly to tho floor space and relieve the pressure on the upper rooms. These additional rooms i trill be fitted up shortly, and with the help jot the Woman's auxiliary made aa attract ive aa possible." JT. P. Bailey will deliver an addrsss at the Buen's meeting Sunday afternoon. Hnstllna; for Dirt. City Engineer Beal and the members Jt the street and alley committee of the coun cil are hustling for dirt to make fills in three of the big washouts. At Twenty second and L streets It Is estimated that It will take about 1,000. cubic yards to make the fill, while the same amount will be seeded to fill the bole io the roadway at Twenty-second and Q streets. As for the lig washout at Twenty-third and E streets the engineer estimates that It will take 6,160 yards. There was some talk of the city advertis ing for bids and having three holes filled fey contract, but consideration of the mat ter' changed the plans and now the street and alley committee will try and sncure dirt from private parties, as It is considered cheaper. Aa little If any grading Is being ttuna In the vicinity of any of these wash puts Juat now dirt for this work will nec essarily oome high, especially in case of a Jong haul. Unless grading is commenced toon on some of the lota east of Twenty fourth atreat the city will have to pay a Considerable sum of money to fill tbeae big washouts. . ... II as la City Gossip.

At a meeting of the Real Estate ex change it leaked out that Congressman Mer cer had solicited members of that organiza tion to aerure an endorsement of his candi dacy for re-etoctlon to congress from that body and that up to the present time the effort had met with failure. The fact came out In the discussion which followed the In troduction nf resolution declaring tha ex change to be out of politics. This resolu tion, after having been defeated last week, was brought up again by E. A. Benson. President Green took tha floor iri opposi tion to the resolution. He said that as long aa he held the position of president such a resolution would be useless, aa he would see that no political action would be taken by the organization. Mr. Benson said that since the rumor that the exchange had gone into politics became current he had been approached by a mem ber of congress asking that the body use Its Influence to secure his renomlnatlon. An other member of the exchange who seemed to know all about the matter said: "But the congressman learned that the exchange waa not in politics, eo I think there will be no more trouble from that source." " W. T. Graham opposed the resolution. Bay ing that if It were passed It would be con sidered as a reflection upon certain mem bers ef the body who aspire to political honors. At the conclusion of Mr. Gra ham's talk the resolution was withdrawn. At the request of the Christian churrli Convention committee a committee consist ing of W. T. Graham, Charles I Saunders and H. B. Payna was appointed to visit the Coliseum and pass upon the question of expense which will attach to the changes ceceasary in the building to fit it tor the convention, with the understanding that the exchange will later attempt to raise the funds to meet the cost of the work. The committee having in charge tha question of meter service by the water company stated that an opinion ha1 been asked from City Attorney Connell. and that pending the receipt of that opinion no re port would be formulated, but that from the construction of the ordinance the mem bers of the committee did not believe that the water company could charge more than tho term Service rate on houses classified In the ordinance, even though It Installed meters at its own expense. A short talk was made by Rev. Robert Yost of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church and the subject of "Parks" was made a special order for the next meeting. Look out for malaria.

CATCHING UP ON STUDIES Eifc-u School FnpilslWha Art Bshind Vfiks Up for Lost Time. GAIN POINTS BY DOING VACATION WORK Many Wko Failed la Part at Their Coarse Are Trylaar to Oat aa Kvea Footing for Fall Promotloa. Considerable complaint baa been mani fested against the unit system recently Introduced Into the Omaha high school by pupils who have been compelled to forego the greater part of their aummer vacation and devote time to making up studies which they expected to hate for rest and recreation. If these pupils who have bad to continue their school work through the summer months were satisfied that their backwardness was due to themselves they would doubtless complain less, but they for the most part insist that they havo been kept back by being aasigned to the alow classes and that under the system in vogue before the unit schedule waa Intro duced they would have bad no difficulty In completing their course under the regular Instruction during the school year. By a rule requiring them ta make up units in which they are deficient and to do ao not by home atudy but by lessons and recitations to regular teacher of the high school they have been, required to pay tuition for Instruction which they should have received In the high school, supported by taxes paid by their parent. While the teachers say that they no not care for these summer pupils who Interfere with the enjoyment of their vacations, soma of them nevertheless have been making quite a neat addition to their salaries by private In structions to deficient high school pupils who under the rule. are. not allowed to patronize any ther teachers. What tho Principal Says, When thrse complaints were brought to the attention of Principal Waterhouse, he explained the situation as follows: "At the beginning of the season we divide the work to be done In the year Into two equal parts, and expect the average pupil to complete each part within one semester. To illustrate: We will say that 200 pages are to bo completed by a certain class within the semester. This is subdivided Into portions of 60 pagea each and -each period is known aa a unit. The pupils of one grade will start in the same place In the book, but there are many divisions of the grade reciting the lessons to different teachers. It will soon become apparent that certain pupils will work faster than others, and these bright pupils are placed together, the slower pupils being placed together. The result Is' that one subdivision of the grade will accom plish all four units In the course of the term, while , another subdivision of the same grade will accomplish but two or three. Each pupil receives credit for the work ha does, and there is no setting back for failure. The alow pupils accomplish the work of their more rapld.classmatea, but it Is done in longer time. "This year the total failures at tho High school In one or more studies waa 147, the number tailing in more than one study being 191. The total number of atudles in which fatlures were made waa 438, this being equal to a total failure of 110 pupils, or 8.1 per cent, tha percentage of tbe at tendance on the last day falling In ons atudy or more being 20.1 per cent. How Points ( Are Obtalaed. "The pupils are advanced from tha ninth grade to the tenth grade upon the com pletion of eight atudles, which givea them eight points. To advance to the eleventh grade they must secure sixteen points. The twelfth grade ia attained when twenty-four points are secured and when thirty-two points have been placed to the credit of the pupil be Is graduated. It frequently happens that at the end of a year a pupil will have fourteen or fifteen points to his credit and he will desire to make up the one or two polnta necessary, to permit his advancement to a higher grade during tha summer vacation. This is permitted, the only requirement being a certificate from one of the teachers in the High' school that the work has been done. We also Insist upon the pupil devoting aa much time during the vacation to the study as be would devote to it during the school term. As he carries four studies In school, one-quarter of the time devoted to one study duting vacation will be accepted and if his recitation periods are one hour during the vacation instead ot the forty five minutes required at school, the time Is again reduced by one-quarter. "No teachers are required to teach pupila during vacation, any bargain they may make with the pupils being satisfactory to the school authorities. The teacher may charge the pupil for her time or not aa she elects. We have no way of telling until the be ginning of the school year the number of pupils who are making up atudles, but there are several, aa we have already re ceived aome certlflcatea of proficiency from some of tbe teachers. now no YGun PAi.iTi..a Right after a rain is a fine time to paint no dust then.

It would ,e supposed that a county returning such a email ' portion ot taxable property aa this statement shows, would bs able to soon catch up delinquent taxpay. era and not be materially in default in payment of atats taxes. However, thla county owes state taxes amounting to 327,469.45, of which 13,324.77 are for 1901, which could be assumed to be tn process of col'ectlon. This leaves 119,134.68 aa properly being delinquent states .taxes, owing by Paslps County.
