JANITORS ' MUST WAIT FOR INCREASE Canned BlasTs Desires to Have Omaha, Edacate the ChlMrfi of East Omaha, hat Board Will Investigate. In the meeting of the Board of Education last evening Mr. Mcintosh did a major part f tha talking, but by way of compensation tha other memberi had their way In the voting. Perhaps the point of most pro nounced divergence between them and Mr. Mcintosh waa reached when the committee on textbooks aubmitted a report recom mending that the board purchase for sup plementary uae In the teaching of music 1,700 coplea of the Melodla aong book No. 1, by D. Appleton ft Co. It was explained that the cost of these books would be $500 and that by making this purchase at this time tha board could secure as a gratuity from the firm 1,000 coplea of the Melodla book No. 2, which would be equivalent to .1400. In short the board could at this time secure I M0 worth of books for $!00. Mr. Mcintosh protested most vigorously against tha adoption of this report and backed up his protest with an Impassioned oration to his fellow members. In which ha warned them to regard the welfare of the school district or prepare to suffer the con sequences. With rare prescience he fore cast that the board would probably adopt the report In spite of his protest, but he de clared that he would at least have the comforting thought that ha had raised his voice against this act of unwarranted ex travagance. Mr. Mcintosh stated that the books were wanted by the supervisor of muslo, but were not needed and their pur chase had not been fully approved by tha superintendent of schools. Mr. Pearse being called upon to state his position said that he had not felt that the books were Imperatively needed at this time, but that aa the offer had now been presented by the agent for Appleton A Co. ha regarded It as a good business Invest ment. After some further discuaslon the report cf the committee was adopted. Jaaltors Mast Walt. The committee on heat and ventilation reported upon the petition of the lanltors that their salaries be restored to the stsius which pertained before the cut of 1895. pre sented report recommending that salaries be Increased as follows: Janitors of buildings having eight rooms In actual use, 15 per month additional dur ing school months, to take effect December 1 1902 "janitors of buildings having more than eight rooms In actual use to receive 110 per month additional during school months, to take effect December 1. 1302. , The Janitor of the Stt.unuv.T8 school t re ceive 16 additional per month during school months, and the Janitor of the board I room to receive $5 additional per month, to take effect December 1, 1902. The janitor of the. Otnson school to re ceive U additional per month during school months. A motion to suspend the rules for the Anntinn nf this renort was lost and the re- -t th.r.fnra must lay over under the rules until tha next regular meeting. On recommendation of the same commit tee F. O. Munson was appointed fireman at the high school In place of Phil For tn, who recently resigned. Munson's sal. ary waa fixed at 165 per month, which Is i more than tha position formerly paid. Offers Paplls to Omaha, From Burt M. Sargent, president of the ar4 of Education of Council' Bluffs, came a communication, rather Informal in tone, 'a which he urged upon the Omaha board he propriety of this city furnishing ac commodation for the pupils of the seventh. lghth snd high school grades who live at Past Omaha. As reasons why Omaha lather than Council Bluffs should cars for these children Mr. Sargent argued that the rutall business of East Omaha came to this tty. that tha distance for tha children to travel would be less and that Omaha would find less trouble than Council Bluffs In accommodating the small number ol aa rational pupils Involved In the arrange ...... ni..nr,at. Tha communication was i .furred to tha committee on boundaries, The payrolls for the Judges and clerks cf election In tha Eighth district of the Mihth ward, which were held up because those officers had failed to perform their cutlea as required by law. were allowed On recommendation of the committee on vniMinii and nroDerty the bill or w. i. Deverell. in tha amount of $1,600 for the construction of the new smoke stack at tha high school, was allowed. Tha report of tha committee on clalma, comprising miscellaneous bills to the aggregate amount of $37,624.04, was adopted.

The committee recommended that the attorney of the board be Instructed to use his utmost endeavors to secure the enactment of these laws. Robert Smith moved to amend by adding to the report a provision to allow Mr. Herring $5 per day for a period not to exceed thirty days for such expenses ss he might Incur at Lin coln while urging the passage of the bills In question. Mcintosh Objects. Mr. Mcintosh antagonized the motion to amend on the ground that the board should not demean Its attorney by placing him In tha position of a common lobbyist. He also objected to the adoption of the report for the reason thst he did not think the members bad a sufficiently clear under standing of the nature of the legislation In question. In his opinion, Mr. Homan and W. F. Johnson concurred and a motion to lay the matter over was lost. The motion to amend was then carried. Mr. Herring being requested to explain the nature o, the proposed bills, said that last September the board had passed a resolution Instruct ing him to prepare certain bills to amend the existing laws and be had merely fol lowed Instructions and nothing more. One of the sections, be said, was to make free text books compulsory in cities of the metropolitan class, as In the rest of the state. Another was to enable the board to make contracts to exceed $200 In amount without violation of the law and the third was to make It discretionary with the board to appoint a truant officer. These measures, he said, the board had already decided upon as necessary to correct some fault or am biguity In the present law. On the strength of this explanation the report as amended was adopted. The committee on special Instruction recommended tbt Jesse Tompsett be ap pointed commandant of cadets at tha high echool under the same arrangement and at the same salary as the late Incumbent, Mr. Homan.

"Under the Red Robe,", became an even! better one when Edward Rose pruned it and remodeled It to meet the requirements of stage use. The public recognised this long sgo, but recognized It no sooner than did some very capable actor-folk and from aeason to season we have had It told us by different companies selected especially for its telling and led by men especially qualified to Impersonate the daring, revel rous. but latently honorable OH de Berault. There Is then a very good reason why there should have been for the most of those at Boyd's theater' last night no par ticularly new thrill of delight in the presen tation given It by Mr. James Nelll and his Pacific coast company. Mr. Nelll is not great De Berault; Edyth Chapman Is not great Renee; Frank MacVlcars la not a great Richelieu. And among their sup porters there Is not one who stands out as conspicuously qualified for his part nor memorably forceful. But with this laid, criticism must cease and praise begin. It the company be not great, It Is at least good, and if it contain no giant, it at least Is encumbered by no dwarf. Mr. Nelll is pleasing because he refrains from attempting to atone with volcanlo eruptions In some scenes for the force that he seems to lack in others, and the De Berault of his interpretation becomes a very likeable fellow before the final drop obscures him. Miss Chapman does well all that she has to do, which Is more than a little, and leaves a consciousness of versatility and studlousness quits sufficient for all ordi nary exactions of work tn stock. Frank MacVlcars Is an acceptable cardinal. Oeorge Bloomquest is a mora than ac- rentable CsoUin La Rolle.

Webb to Be Jobs Preset'! Deputy aad Hoctor to Assist Pete O'.Mnller ta Aatltor'a Office. After January 1, A. J. Webb, formerly bookkeeper for Commissioner Connolly, and, since last February, deputy county auditor, Is to have Frank Dewey's plsce ss deputy county clerk and Thomas Hoctor will have Webb's place as assistant to Peter O'Malley In the arduous work of checking up the monthly reports from the county store, the office of the sheriff and the office of the clerk of the district court. . Dewey Is a republican who has been tn the office of the county clerk since his ap pointment by Mel Redfleld In December. 1897. Because of an exceptional capability and familiarity with the dutlea of the office the late Harry Miller retained him after the Inauguration of the democratic regime, the first of the present year, and made him chief deputy despite the vigorous ham mer swinging of aspiring members of Mil ler's party. When John Drexel was ap pointed to the position left vacant by Mr. Miller's death the anvil promptly resumed Its work on the republican deputy and Mr. Drexel has succumbed. Indeed he couldn't well do otherwise In view of the string tied to his own appoint ment. Certain of the commissioners fa vored Hoctor for the clerkship and only consented to Drexel's appointment upon his giving his pledge to appoint Hoctor chief deputy. After the appointment was made snd while Hoctor was still stinging from his defeat the latter gavo an Interview In which he implied that If he couldn't play the first violin ha wouldn't fiddle at all. Time Seems Lnag to Tom. Later he got to thinking over the long and exhausting eleven months that have elapsed since his retirement from the Board of County Commissioners, and decided that even a secondary position with the county was better than none at all. Then a new trouble arose. County Clerk Drexel told the commissioners plainly and frankly that he and Hoctor combined wouldn't know enough about the actual workings of the office to run It and that If they undertook to there would certainly be hades to pay. The commissioners re considered and decide! that as Drexel couldn't be deposed nor Hoctor disappointed the only thing to do waa to give the latter sons other berth and move up somebody else. Webb was accordingly called off the assistant audltor'a desk and told to move across the hall. In order that Hoctor may be "broken In." Extra Salary Involved. Dewey is not to retire until January 1, though Webb's retirement from the audi tor's office Is effective at once, and Hoc tor's time dates from yesterday. Commis sioner Connolly was asked If Hoctor, Webb and Dewey are all to draw salaries for the month of December and laughingly re plied: "Search me! I don't know!" Neither did anybody else seem to. Tho deputy clerk's salary Is $90 per month and the deputy auditor's la $1,000 per year, or practically $83.33 per month. Dewey as the retiring office holder could hardly be expected to work for nothing during this month, rtor could Webb be expectud to make similar aacrlSca of salary. It is most apparent, therefore, that either either Thomas Hoctor! la going to donate month's society to Douglas county or else Douglas county Is going to donate salary for an extra man. Retiring Deputy Dewey states that he does not know yet what he will do when relieved. MIDDLESEX CLUB AND MOSBY Exclaslve New Haglaaders Ask tha Famoas Virginian to Be Their Geeat. Colonel John 8. Mosby, who is in Omaha on business of the general land office, of which he Is a special agent, has Just re ceived from Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, a letter enclosing an Invita tion to be present on "Great night," next April. The Middlesex is one of the most exclusive of all the New England clubs, and Its "nights" are events of more than ordi nary Import. President Cbamplln of the club, writes to Colonel Mosby: "We would like to add your name to tha roll of our distinguished guests. The mem bers of the club, the republicans of Mas sachusetts, and the people of Boston would be glad to sea and welcome you. I beg to assure you that this invitation Is not per functory or formal. We earnestly desire that you may be able to accept It." Colonel Mosby la at present of the opin ion that communications may safe)7 be addressed to him In care of the Middlesex club, Boston, Mats., on the night of April 27, 1903, for he certainly expects to be present on that night. COMPROMISES MORROW CLAIM City Ceanell Arranges to Pay Flvn Hundred Dollars to Girl la. Jored by a Fall. In general committee yesterday after noon tha city council arranged a compro mise of the claim of Mrs. C. Morrow arising out of the Injury of her minor daughter's hand, which it was alleged was due to a defective sidewalk. The Injury has been said by physicians to have permanently disabled two of tha young girl's fingers, and after some months of negotiation the coun ell has agreed to allow the sum of $500 and the previous meetings, Mrs. Cole haa never presented to the club her policy, as las been the custom of her predecessors, and her address yesterday afternoon waa chiefly for this. She urged the women to go Into the department work, that a mutual bene fit might be derived, but cautioned them against scattering their atrength in too many departments. She read the member ship ot several of the larger clubs of the country, giving their number ot depart ments, and while many are larger than the Omaha club, the local organization has more departments, it now numbering thir teen, with a membership a little under 500. The following recommendations were made by the philanthropic commltteo: First, that the cooking claasea at the Omaha City mission on Tenth street be supported by the club; that two classes week. Including twelve girls each, ba sup ported, snd that $25 per month be allowed for the work. Second, that steps ba taken to place ona woman as an assistant on tha Douglas county Investigating committee among the poor; and, third, that the club give $10 per month toward tha work ot the depot matron. Some discussion followed, several ot tha women seeming to think that the club could not afford such an ex pen so. The treasurer was ssked the condition of tho finances, but asked time to look over Mrs. Morrow has agreed to accept thst amount. The city council at a special meeting yes terday afternoon passed an appropriation providing for the salaries of city employes.

OA t mmm MORMONS NOT POLYGAMOUS President of Church Bays Dual Marriages Are Not Beoognized. MULTI-WIVED MEN 0L0 AND MUST SOON DIE Practice Ends When Law Is Made, bat Previous Weddlnsrs JSot All An nailed, aa Hasbands Prefer to Care for Families. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 1. In an interview today Joseph Smith, president of the Mormons, defined the present position of tha church with respect to polygamy and the ecclesiastical position of Apostle Reed Bmoot. The church does not desire to enter con troversies over the subject," said Mr. Smith, "but it Is anxious that its own peo ple, as well as the people of tha country, should understsnd its position." Ko Plaral Marriages Allowed. "Does the Mormon church solemnize or permit plural marriages?" asked the re porter. "Certainly not," he replied. "The church does not permit, sanction or authorise marriage in any form that is contrary to tha laws ot the land. The assertion that prominent Mormons practice polygamy is evidently made to mislead the public. Po lygamy under the law Is the marrying ot a husband or wife while the legal husband or wife Is living and undlvorced. There is no such offense committed by sanction of the Mormon church, but when the pro hlbltlon of polygamy was proclaimed by the president ot the Mormon church there were many persons who had contracted plural marriages, and that relation has been continued In many Instances, because the men in that position determined not to abandon their families. "This Is erroneously construed as prac tlclng polygamy, and createa tha Impres sion that polygamous marriages are still permitted in and by the church. "It was ascertained by a careful census of 1(90 that there were 2,451 such fami lies In the Untted States. In May, 1892, that number had been reduced 63 per cent. leaving them only 897, the great majority ot whom were of advanced age, and many have since died. It Is thus evident that tho number of polygamous families will soon be reduced to sero." gmout Is liood Cltlsen. Mr. Smith was salted to define the po sition of Mr. Smoot In the church, his po- ltion ss an apostle having been compared to that of a cardinal or archbishop in other churches. The two positions are not parallel," re plied he. "An apostle, or seventy, or elder, or bishop In the Lattet Day Saints is usually engaged In some secular vocation. He is ordained to the priesthood ao that he may act when required. He gives his services gratuitously ts tha church. Reed Smoot is a banker, the manager ot the largest manufacturing Institution in this state and Is Interested largely tn min ing operations and other temporsl pur suits. He is recognized ss a capable and enterprising citizen, and his position In the church need not Interfere with bis serv ices to the state or the nation tn any po litical office. It la not true that he waa put forward by the church as a candidate tor public office. "Mormon church officials have served In congress for years and no objection has been offered on that account. Every Mor mon official has been one ordained to tha priesthood." Tha new kind of General Arthur elgars will please you I." you cars for good cigars. FIRE RECORD. tore at Aarora. ACRORA. Neb.. Dec. 1.

ONE SEAMAN IS WASHED OVERBOARD Veaael la Stopped, bat the Sea la Roach that. It Is Impossibles to Save the V'aforta nate Man. So NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The American Una steamer St. Louis arrived In port today from Southampton and Hamburg, lata, after a very stormy psssaga. St. Louis left the channel with mod erate breezes, which later became a whole gale, with violent squalls and a very high, dangerous sea. The gales continued In violence until Friday, when they tell. Among the passengers were J. Allison Bowen, deputy United 8tates consul general to Paris, and General Ben I. Vlljoen, for merly of the South African republic. Aa St. Louis came Into Its dock It showed the effects of the rough weather. Its funnels were salt lncrusted, where tha spray had dashed against them, and one ot tha forward starboard boats hung a wreck on the davits; others on the same aids were marked by dents where the heavy seas had struck them. During the height of the storm, Wednes day, one seaman, Charles Johnso'n. a Nor wegian, waa washed overboard and loit. During almost all ot the trip the captain was obliged to remain on the bridge and most of that time tha officers were lashed to keep the leas from carrying them away. On the 29th 8t. Louis ran Into a violent hailstorm and tha hall stones wera so large that the officers had hard work navigating the ship. For days they ran tha vessel un der reduced speed, with tha passengers be hind storm doors and tha sea continually breaking over the ship and sweeping the decks. On Wednesday about 4 o'clock the storm was so fierce and tha sea, which was high, was breaking over tha bow with such force it was feared that some of the forward boats on tha starboard aide would be car ried away. Order were given to have the boata made more secure snd a detail ot seven men were sent up to fasten them. The seamen who undertook the work crept along the aide of tha deck to tha forward boat. They had been working but a few minutes to make It secuie when a heavy sea came curling over tha rail. There was a shout of wsrntng and all ot tha men held fast except Johnson, who was dashed over board. The boat was stopped, but so wild was the sea that no aid could be given to tha man and the steamer resumed Its Journey. Yesterday afternoon when St. Louis was off the Nantucket lightship a Ore was dis covered forward In tha mala deck. It was caused by a defective light and was soon extinguished.
