The three democratic member of the board, however, decline to even as much aa hint of favorite and have avoided being caught in a group where an appli cant might press two of them for an ex presslon at the asms time.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA City Goincil Ifeeti with Only four Mem ber in AUandanoe. PROPOSITION FOR OPENING OF 0 STREET Committee Appointed to Intestlante anal Report on Proposed Improve ment Typewriter nt Ulan rhool are R alevlnel. The city council met last night, with only four member present. Welsh is out of the city and O'Connor la on the sick list, so It devolved upon the four members pres ent to transact the business. About all that was accomplished out of the regular routine waa the appointment ot a committee to investigate tho propo sition to open O street from Twentieth' street east to Thirteenth street. Queenan suggested that the mayor 'appoint a com tnfttee to look Into the matter and this wss done." The committee Is composed of Councllmen Adklns, Queenan, Welsh, Pr. W. 8. White, Anton Kostsl and Steve Volz. No time is set for the report of thla com mittee, but as the property ownero are anxious to have something done it is thought thst a report may be mRde by next Monday night. Reports from heads of departments for October were read and placed on file. J. D. Homan. who is in charge of the emergency hospital, asked, through Councilman Quee nan, for material, lumber, brick, etc., for a cellar. The council decided that It would provide a good-sized shovel and per mit Homan to dig hi own cellar. Another attempt Is to be made to secure the passage of an ordinance regulating the speed of trains through tho city. Tho or dinance Introduced some time ago wa laid away by the judiciary committee, a it ws considered defective. The city at torney will be called upon to draft an or dinance that will hold good In the courts. The October appropriation sheet wa al lowed and then the council adjourned un til next Monday night. II lab School Typewriters. As nredlcted in The Bee of Thursday morning, the Oliver Typewriter company yesterday replevtned the twelve typewriter'. ! at the high school building and removed the same. The writ was served by a dep uty sheriff, who carted the machines away. Judge Vlnsonhaler will hear the case on November 12. It is asserted that tin alleged purchase Of the machines In question entered largely Into complaint filed against four member of the Board of Education. While the claim of the Oliver company waa allowed by tbo board and the warrant was drawn. President Miller would not sign It, aa he had been arrested for taking a bribe. In stead ot applying for a writ ot mandamus to compel Miller to sign the warrant for the payment of the machines delivered the Oliver company decided to recover its property and did so. When a deputy sheriff removed the type writer from the high school building it left, the commercial department without any work to do. Word was sent to Miller and Kubat and an effort wa. made to rent ma chines for temporary use until arrange- menta could be made to purchase President Miller of the Board of Edu cation said last night to a Bee reporter that he had heard the machine had been removed. A for details he declined to enter into any discussion. Ho did say, however, that if the company had any right to take the machines, "let them have them." In connection with this deal the records show that prior to the purchase by tbo board of the Oliver machine an order wa Issued for the cleaning and repairing of the machinea in the high school. This was done, and then, when he machine were returned In good working order, the board turned around and purchased a dozen new machines, giving those on' band in part payment, promising to pay the bal ance in cash. Should there be any delay in the renting of typewriters by tbo board the commer cial department will go by default for a time. It waa reported on the streets last night that none of the agencies in Omaha would either rent or sell typewriter to the South Omaha Board of Education un less the money waa In sight, the money to be turned over at the earns time the machine were delivered.

MORE SHELTER FOR TROOPS Heedlenlj Exposed to the Earer Climate Along tbe Oout GENERAL MILES SUBMITS HIS REPORT Condition ot the Indians Is ssld to He ttolte Satisfactory and o Merlon Dlstnrbnneea Dnrlna; the Year Are 5oted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The annual re port of Lieutenant General Mile, com manding the army, I brief review ot tbe report that have ben submitted to him by other officers. He endorse tho recommendation of Gen eral Brooke for a readjustment of the geographical limit of tbe different depart ment with a view ot equalising condition. Oeneral Mile call attention to the neces sity ot quarter for troops, saying that, while hundred ot thousands of dollars are being spent for quarter for cavalry, very little is being used to afford shelter for artillery, which is exposed to severe climate along the coasts. "These troops," say General Miles, "are required to be located adjacent to the forti fications, notwithstanding the exposed po sition of many ot tbem, and I see no reason why buildings should not be properly con structed In time to be occupied when it 1 known for year exactly where and when they will be required. Fort Iflrntlon Incomplete. "I alio call attention to tbe Incomplete condition of the fortification, especially on the Pactfio coast, where million have been expended In engineering and ordnance work, and yet the command have not been properly supplied with ammunition, elec trical plants and other appliance essential to the effective use of these fortifications In actual warfare." General Miles further adds: During the last year there has been no serious engagements, except of the troops under Oeneral Frsnk D. Baldwin, in Mindanoa, I. 1., with the Moros. For tho number of men engnged thi was a very spirited and desperate engagement. Our forces were commanded by one of the most perleneed and efficient officers of the army, whose record has always been of tho highest order, and his achievement, to gether with that of the troops In this en gagement, made another chapter of forti tude, tenacity and heroic sacrifice In the history of American arms. Condition of the Indians. The condition of tbe Indian is quite satisfactory and there has been no disturb ance of importance among them during the last twelve months. This I accounted for principally by three reasons: 1. Just and humane treatment of tbe In dians and the Judicious management ot their affairs. 2. Their gradual transition from a con dition of barbarism to that of seml-civlllted people. 3. Tbo close proximity of the military garrisons, which are always available in case ot threatened disturbance. The report concludes: The experience during the great civil war and years of campaigning along our west ern frontier afforded the best schools of practice for our army In former years. The attention given to calisthenics and gymnastic and military exercises made our small urmy a corps of athletes, whtlo the elementary schools established for enlisted men, the post libraries, the post lyceums and ofllcers' schools, the various schools of Instruction and practice for officers, a well as the military academy, produced an army of such excellence that 1 was able In my annual report for IS!) to state: "Tho personnel ot the army was never In better condition." Proven by Fortltnde. This wse proven to be true by the forti tude, skill and heroism displayed in every serious campaign, on every field of mortal combat, wherever the army has been en- f;aged in any part of the world during the ast four years. During that time many changes have occurred and the army has been very largely increased. The long and varied service of the senior officers, their experience In organizing, disciplining, Instructing and leading their commands, as well a the excellent dis cipline. Instruction and exemplary conduct of the, soldiers of the army of lS9Sahave been the leaven of the army of the present time. Kvtla may creep Into any system or great organization. Such as have affected our army havo been or will be eradicated. HUNTER IS SHOT BY MISTAKE Companion Takes Him for a Deer and Makes n Center Shot. CENTRAL CITY. S. D., Nov. 6.-r( Special Telegram.)
