Question of Consolidation. ', The question of school district consolida tion comes under this head quite appropri ately, as It is said that consolidation will mean fewer teachers but higher salaries. Superintendent Bodwell said: "Consolidation means that one school house with three or four teachers will suf fice for an area six or seven mllea square. In which there are now several school houses with several teachers. In other words, consolidation will men a reduction Vf one-fourth or one-third in the number Of teachers employed in Nebraska. "What net reduction, If any. would be made In the coat to the counties and state I do not know, as under the consolidation plan there would be the new expense of TApvldUig conveyances for the children, building larger buildings and employing teachers competent to teach In graded schools." Quite a number of Omahans are on the program of the state meeting.

The monthly report of the Internal reve nue office here for November shows the total amount of receipts to be $95,004.48. This showing Is only a little more than one-half of what It was for the same nerlod 'a year ago.' The reasons for thla are the repeal of the war tax and the recelnts from the local distillery being unusually mall on account of Its running only to a mall capacity while repairs are being made. The recently Imposed tax on renovated butter In this state makes the flaures of the revenue office interesting as showing the growth of that product. Although the tax required Is only a quarter of a cent a pound, the first month of Its existence. July, brought (1.000 from this source In the state of Nebraska, This amount has steadily grown until the report for Novem ber shows that the local office furnished stamps for 450 tons of the product In Nebraska. The tax amounted to about U.M1. GETS TWELVE-YEAR SENTENCE William Taylor, Convicted of High way Robbery, Maat Pay Very HoavTT Peaalty. William Taylor's prospects are ss dark and gloomy as his complexion which Is about as dark and gloomy as anything this far from the Jungles could he. Judge Bax ter , yesterday sentenced bim to twelve years at hard labor in the state peniten tiary for putting an unsuspecting pedes trian out of commission at Twenty-eighth and R streets, South Omaha, a few weeks ago. The. trick was turned in the light of an afternoon sun and the charge made was highway robbery. Highway robbery is, to Judge Baxter's mind, no Joke, but the sever ity of William's sentence Is said to be par llally accounted for by an error the prls ner made In testifying. He was asked It J i 1 , -, .

The Judge subse quently ordered an Investigation of his record and learned that In December, IS'.'S, he was sentenced to thirty days for petit larceny and In April, 1!0, was sentenced to a year and a half In the penitentiary for daylight breaking and entering. The court Is an ardent believer in mem ory culture, and when he was thus shown how Impaired was William's faculties for recalling things he was much moved. So much moved, indeed, that he decided to give William the twelve years' course In an Institution where he will have nothing to do but remember the regulations and the penalty Imposed for their violation. DAMAGES FROM A BASE BALL Right Thousand, Says Carl Miller of Waterloo, Won't Folly Answer. On Broadway, Fifth avenue and other thronged and busy thoroughfares of the strenuous municipal corporation (ot Water loo, Neb., they play base ball, and because they play base ball Carl Miller Is in the riisto-lct court with a ault against the me tropolis for $X,950. The amended petition, filed yesterday morning, recites that on April 13 last Miller was driving over, along and on the thronged and busy thoroughfares afore said whpn a stray three-bagger from the willow of a party whose real and family name has never been divulged, hissed madly over the heads of Bucepha lus and the other noble steed he Was driving and caused them to execute a minuet along the next block and then overturn the wagon, and, Incidentally, over turn Miller. When he came to, Miller avers, he dis covered that the rugged health he had enjoyed previously and the Joyous youth fulness of his sixty-three years had been Impaired to the extent of a wrenched hip. sundry and divers bruises and so many aches and pains that he had to go to bed for eight weeks, which Is a very long time In the hurly-burly life of Waterloo. Prior to that lime, he avers, he had a regularly earned Income of fifty slmoleons every thirty dleras, but since then he can earn no slmoleons at all, and as his ex pectancy of life Is 12 81-100 years he wants JS, 800 for his own disablement, $100 for his disabled horse and fi0 for his mutilated, desecrated and deteriorated wagon. ANXIOUS TO COLLECT BILLS Retail Merchants Are Mock Interested In Proposed Amendment to Statutes. Frank J. Bowers, state organiser of the Nebraska Retail Grocers and General Mer chants' association, has returned to the city after a trip over the state. He says the merchants of the country are favorably Impressed with the state association and are Joining in large numbers, but because of local conditions the Idea of forming local associations is not popular. All of the merchants are tery much Interested in the proposed amendment to the collection laws of the state, and If that amendment Is adopted the merchants of the state will be a unit In endorsing the state organization, and as they associate in the state meetings they will come to appreciate local organ izations. The local grocers' association was to have met Tuesday night, but a quorum was not present. The chairman of the legislative committee says that acceptances have been received from between 350 and 400 persons who will attend the conference at the Com mercial club rooms Thursday evening. An Invitation has been sent to the members of the Real Estate exchange to be present at the conference. It is not expected that the members of the legislature will be asked to commit themselves upon the questions pre sented at the meeting, but all will be asked to express their views upon the subjects discussed.

The coming engagement of Gertrude Coghlan in "Alice of Old Vincennes" at the Boyd, Friday night and Saturday mat inee and night, has already aroused much Interest among the theatergoers of this city. "Alice of Old Vincennes" as a play will without peradventure of a doubt re flect Its brilliance farther than any other of the book plays of recent years. Its salient qualities are patriotism and self sacrifice and love. Its conditions are deeply scented with the rustic and local coloring of a military post of the wilderness, and, lastly, its people have such an Interesting story to communicate. Dally Tourist Cars.

SAVES THE BOY'S ENVELOPE Man from Enarlneerlnsc Department Averts Calamity In Small Boy'a Career. The engineering department of the city was the agency through which Providence operated yesterday in averting a calam ity in the life of a small boy named L. Hartman, who lives at 1817 Leavenworth street and Id employed by the American District Telegraph company as messenger. The boy had been entrusted with the de livery of an envelope containing a $10 hill, and while riding at high speed on his wheel he made too sharp a turn at Fourteenth and Farnam streets and fell. The envelope which he was carrying In his hand flut tered Into the intake of the sewer and be yond the reach of the boy or any of the passersby who soon gathered In large num bers to assist him with their moral support and advice. For a time there was much ex citement, as a certain element of the as sembled crowd inclined to the belief that no envelop had been lost and the boy's story was invented to cover up some ques tionable action or excite sympathy. The boy finally telephoned to' the office of the city engineer and Sewer Inspector Hutton went to the scene of trouble,, where he set tled the matter in a most satisfactory way by opening the manhole and sending a man Into the catch basin, -where the envelope was found In good condition.

NOTHING TO INDICATE DONOR'S IDENTITY Without Data Line or Slarnatore, the Note Merely Saysi "Here's av Thousand Dollars (or Your Elevator." Every little while that modesty which residence in Omaha Instills and fosters wilt crop out In such a way that tne (fress must mention It or neglec: legitimate news Item. Somebody has Just given $1,000 to Immanuel hospital and taken pains, to ob scure his or her Identity. Scarcely a week ago E. S. Fogelstrom, manager of the institution, printed In The Bee a card stating that he had urgent need of an elevator In the hospital, but not the means wherewith to purchase It. He asked donations tohe amount of 11,000. Yesterday morning Mr. Fogelstrom again called, at The Bee office with a card of thanks In which was credited, among other donations, $1,000 from a party unknown. Mr. Fogel strom produced a plain envelope addressed to him and took from Us interior depart ment ten crisp $100 bills and a note. The note merely said: "Here's $1,000 for your elevator." There was no printed name on the paper, none on the envelope and none signed. In fact, there was not a scratch to Indicate who the donor was, where he lives, what occupation he has nor where bis father went to church. Just the short, sweet statement, "Here's $1,000 for your elevator." The money reached Mr. Fogelstrom through the postofflce, by special delivery, Tuesday aft ernoon. Manager Fosjrelstrom's Card. The card which Manager Fogelstrom de sires printed follows: On my appeal in the Omaha dailies of November 22 for ll.OW) for an elevator tn the Immanuel hospital, I have received the following donations, which I hereby with great pleasure acknowledge: From Mr. Charles Uruening, Omaha, $10; Mr. N. P. Swanon. $15; Mr. Alfred Bloom, $25: Mr. 8. I'. Nelson, $1; J. M. and C. A. W. John Bon. $1, and from "Unknown," Omaha, $l.oo0; total, 11,001. As we had some money before for this purpose and know that some more ia com ing, we will have more than Is really needed for the elevator, but as we have Home delitH and other needed Improvements to be made, we can make the best use of all that is given. We are exceedingly thankful for all do nations and especially to the unknown friend, who by speclul delivery yesterday sent me Sl.OoG in cah. May God let Ills btst blebing abundantly rest upon this kind, cheerful River. If In some similar way God would send us from $10,10 to tjo.uOO we rould In the near future Improve our Institution very much. As to how additional buildings, etc., are needed at the Immanuel Deaconess Institution, I most respectfully beg to refer benevolent people to our excellent surgeon. Dr. B. B. lavls, and other physicians on our staff. Some more donations like this last one would soon enable ui to do a great deal more good to suffering humanity. Most thankfully and respectfully yours, E.
