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.

material for discussion in a report sub
mitting a draft of new laws to be Intro
duced In the legislature this coming ses
sion. 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. This report was adopted.

Stanley Weyman's very good story.
"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. Julius MC-
Vlcars makes fully intelligible his un
spoken lines and to the rest of those in the
cast there may he paid the general re
ward of "well done." The staging was of

The largest gathering of tbs fall was In

tion being tha afternoon's program, which
was In charge of the musical department,
under the direction of Miss Cortnna E.

An amendment to the constitution was

providing that In the absence of tha presi

A resolution waa presented from tha dU

After January 1, A. J. Webb, formerly

Is to have Frank Dewey's plsce ss deputy

Dewey Is a republican who has been tn

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.

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.

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.

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

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,

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."

SHIP HAS A STORMY TRIP
St. Louii Arrives in New York Harbor
After Very Rough Passage.
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.
