ARCHBISHOP KEANE IS HERE
Eipressei Hops That Omaha Will Soon Be
Archiepiscopal See.
WANTS TO CONFER PALLIUM ON SCANNELL
Archbishop Bay. Fourth Diocese In
Iowa 'Will Soon Be Created,
. with Its Seat at City
of Dea Molnea.
"The next time I come to Omaha I hope
It will be to confer the pallium uron
Blehop Scannell when Omaha is made an
archepiscopal see," said Archbishop Krane,
metropolitan of the province of Dubuque,
yesterday morning at the residence of
Bishop Scannell.
Archbishop Keane Is spending a few days
In the city as the guest of the bishop of
Omaha, this being hla first visit to this dio
cese since he became archbishop of this
province. To a reporter he said:
"My visit has nothing of an official na
ture in It. Bishop Scannell had Invited me
to visit him, and finding a few days In
which I could take a little vacation I de
cided to spend it In this city. I have been
here once before, when I waa rector of the
Catholic university, and waa very favorably
Impressed with the city. At that time I
believed that It wpuld only' be a question
of time when Omaha would be the seat of
an archepiscopal see, and I am of the aamo
opinion still. Aa Dubuque is the aeat of a
province west of the Mississippi river in a
growing, progressive country, I expect to
see the day when Omaha will be a similar
aeat west of the Missouri river. You may
be assured that, far from being Jealous of
the advancement of this city, I will do all
I can to bring It about, and I hope to see
It accomplished In a short time."
. Discussing ' affairs ' of the province, he
said: "We have divided the see of Du
buque by creating the see of Sioux City,
rod It la only a question of time when there
will be four dioceses in Iowa, the seat of
the one to bo created being at Des Molnea.
When this will be dono we cannot say. The
bishop of Sioux City will bo In Omaha to
day, und we will spend the time visiting
and meeting some of the clergy and laity
of the diocese. We are very well pleased
to know that there la no occasion for the
solution of any problems at thla time, and
that everything Is moving smoothly and
well."
To Entertain the Arehblahop.
Uast evening Bishop Scannell gave
a dinner In honor of the archbishop, to
which ' were Invited a number of the
clergy of the diocese. Wednesday evening
there will be given a banquet In his honor
at the Omaha club, at which will be about
fifty of the prominent citizens of Omaha.
The parties having the banquet In charge
have had no time to prepare a program of
toasts, - but there will be remarks by a
cumber of the guests. Including the guest
of honor.
Wednesday afternoon the ladiea of the
Sacred Heart of Park Place will tender a
reception to the archbishop, and he will be
asked to celebrate mass at the chaoel of
the convent Wednesday morning.

Trrtanrer File Report.
The monthly report of State Treasurer
Steufer, filed with the auditor today, shows
a balance on band of J432.255.3S at the be
ginning of business Monday, as against
$512,951.20 on hand November 1. The re
ceipts during the month were 1235.177.87,
while the disbursements were $315,874.10.
Arfrne I nlon Pacific Cane.
The suit of the state against the Union
Pacific Railroad company. Involving some
I625.0C0 nf penalties alleged by the state
to be due under the maximum rate law
for alleged overcharges, was argued today
In the supreme court and aubmltted on a
motion for judgment on the report of the
referees. This suit was Instituted, with
other of a similar character, against other
roads, by C. J. Smyth while he was attor
ney general. When the case was submit
ted to referees by the supreme court they
found against the state on the ground that
the law providing penaltlea waa annulled
by the supreme court decision declaring
unconstitutional the law creating the State
Board of Transportation. Attorney Gen
eral Prout haa filed objections to the find
ings of the referees, and it was upon these
objections that the argument was based to
day. This is the case In which the Union
Pacific is reported to have expended $40,000
for testimony provided by an expert ex
amination of Its books.
Howell Case Ip In Conrt.
Considerable Interest was manifested
among attorneys In the argument in the
supreme court today of the case of Gro
andln against the First National bank of
Chicago, Involving the former Omaha pos
sessions of the S. R. Howell Lumber com
pany of Chicago, which failed In 1891. The
evidence shows that in 1874 Spooner R.
Howell, then a young man, borrowed $5,000
at hla old borne In Batavla, 111., and went
to Chicago to embark in the lumber busi
ness. He seems to have gained the confi
dence of Lyman J. Gage of the First Na
tional bank of Chicago, who backed htm
In his business, and the lumber business
established by Howell prospered until It
had yards In many western cities and did
an Immense business. In 1891 experts as
certained that the company waa on the
verge of bankruptcy and immediately there
after made an assignment to the Chicago
bank, which Included the property of the
company In Omaha. The suit argued to
day Is brought by Nebraska creditors of
the company attacking the assignment of
the Omaha property on the claim that the
Chicago bank has already collected under
the assignment some $240,000 more than
the company owed it when it failed. The
Omaha property Involved Is said to be
worth about $50,000. Senator Allison was
one of the attorneys appearing in behalf
of Mr. Gage's bank. .
Think They Are Robbers.- .
Detective Malone and Chief Hoagland are
very sanguine that In the three men ar
reatel last evening they have three of the
four men who robbed the Burlington train
here some weeks ago. The men answer the
description of the robbers as given by the
train crew, but whether the police will be
able to fix the crime upon them Is another
matter.
That they are professionals seems evident.
They shut up like clama the minute they
were taken into custody. They not only
declined to give their names, but refused
to give any Information as to their recent
movements. One claims to be a detective,
but be will not say anything further than
that he bas a good thing of it and Is hot on
In Omaha Public
In view of the tntereat that la being
manifested among teachers and patrons
alike in the Ward system of reading, now
being taught in the city schools. Miss
Clara Cooper, pribclpal of Forest school,
haa prepared the following article for the
benefit of the many wishing to know more
of It. Miss Cooper haa supervision of the
Instruction and gives every Thursday to
visiting the first, second and third grades
of the various schools. She Is also at the
city hall on Wednesday evenings for the
benefit of those teacher wishing special
help:
Some four yeara ago there waa brought
to the notice of our school authorities a
new set of readers, four In number. Ac
companying the books were three sets of
drill cards and a manual of Instruction fir
the teaching of the "Rational Method In
Reading."
Thla method waa given to the public by
B. O. Ward, an assistant superintendent
In the Urookiyn, N. Y., schools. It Is usu
ally spoken of bj our teachera as "Ward."
Aa Mr. Ward ststes In his manual, his
method Is 'a peculiar combination of the
word and the phonetic methods." It alma
to make the child independent and self
reliant in reading and to put him in pos
Keasloii. during the first year and half of
his graded school life, of a complete key to
our language.
During the first term s work the child Is
taught some eighty words by sight. These
are used in sentences written on the black
board by the teacher, and they comprise
the full vccibulary of Part I of th-? primer.
Also during ihta term, and at a period
quite distinct from the sight-reading les
son, the pupils are taught In the order
given the sounds represented by the fol
lowing Inters and combinations of letters:
f, 1, m, n, r s, a, e, o-ing. ings, lght, ignis.
These sounds represent the initial stock of
phonograms employed In the first phonetic
reading. The phonograms are printed in
heavy, large type on mani'.la carda, print
on one side, srrlpt on the reverse. To tell
how these cards are used In the dally drill
would occupy too much apace. Drop into
your neighborhood school some morning
and aee lor yourself. The iatchstrlngs of
the public schools hang always out and are
too seldom pulled.
In time the children come to see that
words are formed by combinations of
sounds, and there daily drill are given In
uniting sounds to form words. This unlor.
of sounds Is called blending.
After some ten weeks of sight reading
from the blackboard the primers sre taken
and the transition from the script of the
teacher to the print of the book Is very
easily made. In t art II of the primer be
lt, is the use of phonetic reading, and the
three readers that follow tbts book contain
many phonetic words with their diacritical
markings.
A book and a aet of phonograms are pro
vided fur each of the first three terms. At
th scent of case In which a big reward
awaits him. He gives the name of Standlsh
snd ssys he Is a British soldier. He admits
having been In this city for several months
and divided his time between here and
Omaha.
Rowley After n Tardnn.
Martin 8. Rowley. ant to the penitentiary
from Douglas rounty for forgery, wants a
pardon and his friends are making every
effort to secure It before Governor Savsge
leaves the executive mansion. In addition
to many letters that have been sent to Lin
coln In his behalf, a delegation of Rowley's
friends from South Omaha railed on the
governor. Monday Sheriff John Power from
Omaha called on the governor, after a talk i
with Rowley, and spoke a good word In his
behalf.
As the time draws near for Governor Sav
age to vacate the s.tatehous the applica
tions for pardons are Increasing. Tuesday
seventeen applications were received and
the governor's office was crowded until late
in the afternoon by friends of inmates of
the penitentiary.
Rnya Sew Grounds.
The Epworth aasembly, composed of rep
resentatives of the various Epworth leagues
of the state, a Methodist organisation, haa
about completed rtie purchase of a tract of
land a few mites south of the city as a
permanent home. The price Is understood
to be $8,000, and a contract has already been
made to extend the Traction company's lines
to the new park.
Oleo Law Ararned.
Is It a crime to sell oleomargarine col
ored to make it look like June butter? is the
question raised by Beha Bros, of Lincoln in
a criminal case argued before the supreme
court this morning. The men were fined in
Lancaster county and appealed to the su
preme court.
Teachers Are Poorly raid.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec. 2. (Special.)
The teachers of the various school dis
tricts of the county outside of the city, at
a meeting In which the matter of salaries
paid for their services waa discussed, de
cided to postpone action to a Joint meeting
to be held In this city on' December 13 be
tween the teachers and the boards of di
rectors of the different districts. It Is
alleged that the teachers in these districts
are very aadly underpaid, comparing the
necessary qualifications with those in other
employments, and It waa suggested at the
meeting thst thla was not only the case
here, but all over the state, and that the
agitation of the matter should be carried
to every school district In the state.
Enforcing: Compulsory Edncatlon.
SCHUYLER. Neb. Dec. 2. (Special.) At
the meeting of the school board last night
Superintendent Sherman presented a list
of names of fifty children of school ago
not attending school aa required by the
compulsory education law. In order that
the law might be enforced and the chil
dren have the benefits of school aa contem
plated, E. H. Phelps, secretary of the school
board, waa appointed truant officer to In
vestigate the cases reported. It was voted
that a representative of the board attend
the State Teachers' meeting at Lincoln
during the holidays, to be present at the
sessions of the school board section, suffi
cient funds being allowed to cover the ex.
penses of the representative.
Jndsre Haa No Jurisdiction.
PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Dee. J. (Special.)
Judge Paul Jessen arrived from Nebraska
City yesterday and in., the afternoon lis
tened to the arguments In support of the
application for a writ of habeas corpus to
secure the release of Joseph A. Janda from
the custody of Sheriff J. D. McBrtde. The
attorneys In the case furnished a number
of citations, but the onrt informed them
that he bad read those and wanted some
thing touching on the case, and as they
could furnish nothing better, decided that'
he had no juriadictlon In the case and the
writ was denied. Janda was arrested sev
eral weeks ago on the charge of being
deserter from the United Statea navy.

the end of this time practically all the
sounds of our language have been taught.
The fourth book Is read before the third
year opens. The books are well graded and
there la a good reiteration of sight and
phonetic words that gives the little reader
a thorough practice In the use of that
which he haa been learning.
A child ia expected to prepare hla sentence
before he gives it aloud. It ia seldom hur
ried and he has the privilege of asking for
any word he doea not know. Thus he is
able to use what he does know and Is
helped to give what he has not yet the
power to gain. If It be a phonetic word, or
to remember if It be a sight word. It is a
most merciful manner of reading to the
slow or the nervous child.
Three primary teachers were first aaked
to try "Ward." They were willing to do
so, and auch excellent results did they ob
tain that at the close of the year others
were asking the privilege of using the
method. Material waa furnished them. At
the end of the second year other teachers
asked to try It. More material was fur
nished, and the Interest grew. The third
year still others were falling Into line and
many who watched the work with dislike
and a spirit of adverse criticism became
converted, and most sealous converts they
proved. There were but three or four
schools not teaching reading by the rational
method when it was adopttd by the Board
of Education.
Of the three pioneers In the work only one
remains with us. Miss Margaret Reed Is
connected with the schools of New York
City and Miss Coolev Is resting in the west.

Thanks to the woman's auxiliary of the
American Park and Out-of-Door Art as-
aoclation, five Chicago school yards are to
be made beautiful with trees, shrubbery
and flowers, and an effort is being made
to extend this work to all of the towns of
Illinois. Already 300 trees, vines and
shrubs have been planted and 5,000 aprlng
flower bulbs are now being distributed,
among the different schools.
With the general observance of Arbor
day In the Omaha schools and the interest
of the teachers and rupils In beautifying
the achool yarda, Omaha haa come, within
the last two yeara, to have an enviable
reputatlcn tor Its accomplishment In this

Germany Not Disposed to Force Immediate
Payment of Claim
DEBT IS ABOUT TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Bonds May Be tsaneri at a Moderately
lllsh Rate of latereat Secured
by Certain Cnstoma of
the Country.
BERLIN, Dee. 2. The published state
ment that Germany's claims against Ven
esuela amount to 1 15.000.000 la. the corre
spondent of the Associated Press is offi
cially Informed. Incorrect.
While the German government Is not .yet
ready to publish the details of Its de
mands, persons who have aeen the papers
say the total Is about $2,000,000.
Preldent Castro represents to Oerrosnr
that Venetuela has little credit abroad, that
the country la just emerging from a c'.vll
war during which planting and Industry
were partially ruined, and, therefore, no
matter how much Venetuela may desire to
satisfy Immediately the claims sgalnst her.
It is obviously Impossible. Hence an agree
ment on the subject must provide for de
ferred psyments.
The selxure of the customs houses,
thereby depriving the government of an Im
portant means to administer the country,
would add to the Internal distress and dis
order. While President Csstro'a proposals are
not disclosed there Is reason to believe
that they include the Issue of bonds at a
moderately high rate of Interest. lth some
sort of a guarantee that It the Interest
Is defaulted certain Venezuelan customs
may be taken over by Germany.
Nothing Is known here of the plans of
Isaac N. Sellgman of New York, for floating
a Venezuelan loan. He bas not approached
this government In the matter.
There la no disposition to proceed against
Venezuela If mild methods will suffice to
cauae action, but the German government Is
fully committed to obtain ample satisfac
tion. The claimants are constantly urging the
government to preas the collection of the
amounts due them, not only because of
the sums Involved, but, it Is represented, In
f view of the fact that the long delay has
. rendered the position of Germsns In Ven

must strike and strike hard in order to
properly protect Its Interests.

David City Saloon Robbed.
DAVID CITY, Neb.. Dec. 2. (Special.)
The aaloon of Jacob Thomas was robbed
last night and 800 cigars and a few bot
tles of wine taken. The burglars entered
the saloon through a rear window. They
had evidently been in the saloon yester
day and loosened the window latch, as
nothing was broken. The Llllle blood
hounds were put on the trail of the rob
bers at an early hour thla morning. They
went In a northeasterly direction. At Boon
they had not returned. About two yeara
ago this same saloon was robbed, when a

To?ErU. S. MINISTER TO ENGLAND
Commends Perntin to All Catarrh Sufferers
Hon. Louis E. Johnson Is the son of th e late Reverdy JohDson. who was United
States Senator from Maryland, also Attorne y General under President Johnson, and
United Statea Minister to England, and w ho was regarded aa the greatest constitu
tional lawyer that ever lived.
In a recent letter from 1006 F afreet. X. W., Mr. Johnson says:
"No one should longer suffer from catarrh when Peruna Is accessible. To
my knowledge It has caused relief to so many of my friends and acquaintance,
that It la humanity to commend Its use to all persons suffering with this dis
tressing disorder of the human system." Louis E. Johnson.
Catarrh Poisons.
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body Info
scalding fluids, which destroy and Inflame
every part they come In contact with.
Applications to the places affected by
catarrh can do little good save to soothe
or quiet disagreeable symptoms. Hence It
Is that gargles, sprays, atomizers and in
halants only serve aa temporary relief. So
long aa the irritating secretions of catarrh
continue to be formed so long will the
membranes continue to be Inflamed, no mat
ter what treatment is used.
There Is but one remedy that has the
desirable effect, and that remedy Is Peruna.
