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.

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

"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. . ...

MERCER SEEKS ENDORSEMENT
('sirraiaaa l,ear, ffawever, that
Itealty Kirhanae la Hot
In Politics.
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.

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.

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. When Is Is considered that tbe only
reason for any state ladebtaaaes dating is the fact that there are n'lot of taxis
due the state from different countlea that are la default, thla atatemeat may be Inter
eating.
Why ahould Pbelpa County not pay to the stati her due share of atats tax? This1
is but one example, and we bave more glaring Instances yet ta offer.. The assessment
for taxation would have raised plenty of revenue to run tha state with no Indebted
ness accruing, but tbe default allowed la aoma of tha counties haa worked a hard
ship to the state administration and an Injustice to their neighbor counties.
Clnce 1883 the delinquent taxes bave been only on a par with most of tha other
countlee, but tbls Urge delinquency, which occurred from 1874 to 1881 should either
be paid, compromised or settled la aome way.

DELINQUENT TAXES DUE THE STATE MAY 27, 1902, $2,783,063 04
IF DELINQUENT TAXES WERE PAID THERE WOULD BE A BUR.
