NORTH SIDE IMPROVERS MEET
Several Movements In I.lne ot Bet
terments for That fectloa
re Set on Foot.
At the meeting of the North Omaha Im
provement club Monday evening the Initia
tive was taken In a crueade toward the
Improvement of that portion of the city
through the beautifying of the property,
streets and public grounds, while Chief of
Detectives Dunn started a boom toward
ridding North Omaha of obnoxious weeds.
The club also heard the report of the ef
forts of Rev. Henry, who is endeavoring to
prevent the establishment of another sa
loon or saloons In the Sixth ward. A
good-slxed delegation of women was pres
ent at the meeting and an effort will be
mad at a laW date to establish an aux
iliary to the club, composed ot the wives
of the members of the club.
Park Commissioner Craig recommended
to the club that th members secure,
through Individual or collective efforts,
the beaut (flcation of the streets in that
part of the city, and urged better care of
tho public property there by the planting ot
shrubs, trees and flowers in the school
house grounds. He also asked for more
light, pure air and comfort In the school
houses. He urged cleanliness and order,
all of which would tend to cultivate a pub
Ho sentiment for better homes and secure
the best development of the community. In
the general discussion which followed sev.
eral of the women present took part and
urged that the suggestions be adopted,
while the members, as a whole, pledged
their support to the work. "A committee
consisting of Mrs. Robinson, W. J. John
son, Miss Kimball, R. B. Wallace, Rev. F.
HU Henry and 'J. T. CVafg was appointed
by the president, to report within two
weeks, some methods of procedure which
would accomplish the Improvements sug
gested. This resolution, offered by W. J. John-
son, was adopted:
Resolved, That we ask the present. leg
islature. In all fairness to loo.nnO residents
of Omaha, to repeal the present municipal
tax law and so allow all classes of prop
erty to bear their Just share or proportion
of the municipal burden.
Chief Dunn, in urging the removal of the
weeds, offered to don a working suit,
swing a scythe or push a lawn mower or
become the president of a mowing club as
long as the usual yearly growth of weeds
remained. The club promised its support
and the chief will become the leader of
the overall brigade.
Rev. Henry reported that he had been
battling against the breweries who de
sired to establish saloons in North Omaha
and had secured several hundred namea of
resident who protested against the allow
ance ot any licenses which would permit
saloon to be located there. He said that
th matter had been' laid before the Are

Attltadc on the Tax

In future neatness, legibility and correct
ness of penmanship will be one of the re
quirements at the blgh school, and no pu
pil will be graduated from that institution
who does not write a neat, legible and rea
sonably correct hand, except by reason of
physical Incapacity. Even the teachers
will be made to come up to a certain
standard in this respect. Such Is the dic
tum of the Board of Education proclaimed
at its meeting of last evening.
This matter came before the board In
the form of a report from the committee
on high school. In which was embodied rec
ommendations from, the superintendent
which the committee Indorsed for adop
tion. The communication of the superin
tendent, which was addressed to the com
mittee, was as follows:
Insist oa (iodd Writing.
A good deal of criticism Is from time to
time Indulged in concerning the quality of
writing done by the young ptuple who
graduate not only from our own lilnh
school, but from high schools generally.
Much of this criticism is unjust, tor a ma
jority of the pupils who graduate from the
high school write a plain, satisfactory hand.
Much of this criticism, however, too much
of it. Is Well founded, for many pupils do
go out as graduates from the school writing
a wretched hnnd. These, and the consider
able number of pupils who leave school be
fore they graduate, writing a poor hand,
give many times a bad name to the Instruc
tion of the school from which they came.
It Is Intended that pupils shall enter the
high school accustomed to do neat written
work and writing a plain, fairly correct
hand. This hand writing should grow bet
ter, and not worse, by the time they gradu
ate. That the writing has in too many
cases Rfown wore Is due to several reasons
among others to the naturally careless
habits of some pupils, habits which they
should not be allowed to continue; to the
laxneas of some high school teachers who
do not exact careful, correct, written work;
10 me rmn example in writing set by sum
hlKh school teachers (most teachers in
grades below the high school and many
high school teachers write well, but a mi
nority have not yet thought It worth while
to acquire the correct hand writing which
should be to every teacher indispen!ible) :
to the fact that many times a auantltv ot
writing altogether too great la required
from pupils, so that they cannot do it well
In the time allowed; to the fact that no
regular Instruction in writing is given In
the high school, outside the commercial
course, even to those pupils who need It.
11 seems to me tnat tne time is opportune
for us to correct this matter so far as our
own school Is concerned. I therefore make
the following recommendations:
1. That one of the teachers now In the
high school be assigned to teach writing,
and that provision he made for another
teacher to do the work done by the teacher
who will teach writing.
Z. That all high school pupils whose writ
ten school-work Is not satisfactory In neat
ness, correctness or legibility be. required to
take writing as a regular study until such
time as their written school work becomes
and continues to be satisfactory.
3. That after June. no pupil snail be
graduated from the high school who does
not write a neat legible, reasonably correct
hand; provided, that In any case where It
Is, for physical reasons. Impossible for a
pupil to acquire such a hand writing ex
ception may be made by the board upon
recommendation of the principal Of the
high school, approved by the high school
committee, and the graduation of the pupil
permitted.
4. That after June 30, 1904, all teachers in
the employ of this board, in the high school
or elsewhere, be expected by this board
to be able to "write and to write a plain,
neat correct hand writing, both upon the
blackboard and In such other writing as Is
connected with their school duties, unless
excused from this . requirement by , the
Board of Kilucatlon, upon recommendation
by the superintendent ot instruction.
The report of the committee requested
that the committee be authorised to assign
nolber teacher to the high school to take
the work of the teacher who is to be placed
In charge of. the instruction In penmanship.
The report. Including the communication ot
the superintendent, was adopted and sev
eral of the members in voting expressed
themselves enthusiastically In favor ot the
plan proposed.
. Tools for Manual Training;. ,
The committee on supplies reported upon
the question ot tools for the manual train
ing department of the high school, showing
that the tools for five classes In the first
year of the work would cost $625; for three
classes in the second year of the work, $192,
and for one class In the third year of the
work, $205; a total of $1,022, without the
lathes which had been asked for and which
would cost $600 more, or $1,622 In all.
Mr. Homan moved that the committee
be authorized to purchase all of the tools
mentioned, including the Jatb.es, and the
motion was adopted, the only negative vote
being that of Mr. Levy, chairman of the
committee on supplies.
On motion of Mr. Homan the committee
on buildings and property was Instructed
to employ an architect to prepare plans for
a two-story, eight-room building on tho
Monmouth Park site, recently purchased.
A resolution by Mr. Homan instructing
the attorney of the board to prepare a bill
for legislative enactment authorizing the
board to refund any part or all ot Its
bonded Indebtednesa for a period of twehty
year at a rate of Interest not to exceed 4
per cent, was referred to the committee on
Judiciary and the attorney of the board.
Toward the close ot the meeting the
board adopted a resolution introduced by
Mr. Maynard, and seconded by Mr. Christie
In which was expressed In strong terms the
displeasure of the other members at the at
titude taken by Mr. Homan in regard to
the recent question ot the tax levy for
school purposes during the coming year.
These resolutions reviewed at great length
tho official career ot Mr. Homan as a mem
ber of the board, pointing out wherein it
was believed he had acted in a manner in
consistent with bis present Sdvocacy of a
2-mlll levy, and presented argument and
figures in support ot the adoption of a levy
of 2 $-10 mills. Throughout their entire
course Mr. Homan's position was severely
condemned and criticised.
The resolutions were adopted by s viva
voce vote with no dissenting voice. After
they bad been adopted Mr. Homan called
for an aye and nay vote, but was ruled out
of order, aa the result ot the former vote
had been announced.
A much-lndqrsed document, which was
marked as having passed "thro' military
channels" and had gathered signatures all
along those channels evidenced approval
on the part ot the army authorities of tho
application of Captain W. H. Wassels of
the garrison at Fort Crook for the position
of commandant of cadets at the Sigh school.
It was placed on file.
An application from Charles M. Richards
of 'his city for the same position was re
ferred to the committee on blgh school.

woman in Club and charity
Yesterday was legislative lay with the
Woman's club, end the roll of the Doug
las county representatives in the twenty
second legislature wrs posted In conspicu
ous prominence suggestive, to the uniniti
ated, of revolt against all tradition and
the motto of the state federation "Not to
Demand Success, but to Deserve It." This
was tot the fact, for there was no Inten
tion of revolt, and the roll was posted
merely to aid the women In the more ex
pedient exercise of the "privileges" granted
them in lieu of the "rights" enjoyed b;
men. As everyone knows, who knows any
thing at all of the artivlty of the organ
ised women of Nebraska, there are at lenRt
four matters that they proise bringing be
fore the legislature this winter, and chief
among these Is a bill to Bcctire more equit
able property rights for women. The oth
ers Include a bill for a court for Juvenile
offenders, one for an adequate pure food
law and another, not their own, but In
which they will co-operate with the State
Traveling Library commission In a request
for an appropriation of $8,000, Instead of
$4,000, the sum provided by the last legis
lature, for the conduct of the commission's
work for the blennium.
Previous to the consideration of these
matters several other things were disposed
of, among them a recommendation of the
membership committee that an effort be
made by members to increase the member
ship of the club, and that each woman who
has not already done so exercise her privi
lege of securing one new member, only
fifty of the members having done so this
year. It was further recommended that
some' means be devised for reinstating
members who have lapsed, without requir
ing them to again pay the Initiation fee
of $2, and that the club year, for Lew
members coming In now, be extended to
Include the year of '03-'04. As the two last
named recommendations conflict with the
provision of the by-laws, the matter was
referred to the constitution committee to
be reported on in two weeks.
As the club Is soon to celebrate the tenth
anniversary of Its establishment, two rec
ommendations were made for such a cele
bration. First, that a banquet be given at
some of the large hotels; and' second, that
an informal celebration be held in the club
parlors, to Include a program reviewing
briefly the history of the organization, con
gratulations and many other features so
attractive that the house unanimously de
cided to accept this suggestion.
The HbraYy appropriation came next for
consideration. The work of the commis
sion was reviewed and a letter read from
F. 1m Haller, the resident commissioner on
the "Need of the Commission in which
he gave chief credit for the origin and sub
sequent growth of the commission to fie
women's clubs of the state, and tuen asked
their co-operation in the effort to secure
an $8,000 appropriation for the next two
years' work. Miss Margaret O'Brien of
the Omaha public library was among the
speakers, and gave an interesting compari
son of the work of th Nebraska commis
sion with that of other states.
The time usually devoted to the program
was given over to the property rights bill,
Attorney D. L. Johnson explaining the pres
ent law snd also the proposed bill. He
congratulated the women upon their Inter
est in the matter of property rights, ex
pressing his sympathy , with their bill
which, he said, was essential and already
too long- delayed. Th proposed bill was
drafted by the Nebraska Suffrage- associa
tion, and Is receiving. the support ot the
women of the state, and was ULanlmously
adopted by the Omaha Woman's club. It
is as follows: 1
Section 1-That section 29, chapter xxlll.

C'orbvtt appeared fat and out of condition.
In the tirst round he succeeded in floor

during the bout. Maynard, on the other
hand, was In excellent form and had all ton
advantage. In the second round Corbett
went to the floor, but It waa not deter
mined whether his fall waa due to a punch
or a slip. The tight waa disappointing.

HORSE SHOW IS ASSURED
Loral Asaoelatlon to Promote the En
terprise will Be Perfected
Today.
The Omaha Horse Show association will
become an actuality today at a meeting tit
the men Interested In :he project. This
will occur In the private office of F. A.
Nash at the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad headquarters. Mr. Nash probably
will call the meeting for 2 o'clock. Officers
will be elected, a board ot directors ap
pointed and the wheels set in motion for
bringing off the horse show here In Sep
tember. Monday afternoon the promoters of thr
project met with Mr. Nash, 'but owing to
the absence of two of them, no formal
action was taken. However. It was de
cided to give a show, and $5,000 was voted
for the prise fund. This Is a very generous
sum for such a purpose, and will Insure
the Omaha show entries from all over tho
country. With such a substantial premium
list the best will try.
It was further decided to be magnanimous
and to charge no entry fees the first year.
This will enable all the local horsemen to
enter their animals In competition with
the crack horses comprising the foreign
entries.
Ir. C. D. Gray of St. Louis, the man who
has gained a wide reputation as a pro
moter of horse shows. Is In Omaha con
ferrlng with the leaders of the horse show
movement. Though definite arrangements
have not yet been completed with Dr. Gray,
It Is probable that he will be engaged to
promte the Omaha show. He will remain
over for the meeting today, and he was
present at the Informal gathering Monday.
The Omaha Horse Show association was
recently admitted to membership In the
American Horse Show association-St Its
annual meeting at Kansaa City. F. A.
Nash was made one of the directors of
the national organisation. This ha a mem
bership list of twenty-five cities, making an
extensive circuit.
Dr. Oray last year handled the horse
shows at St. Louis and St. Paul, as well as
In other .cities. He has already been en
gaged to promote the shows this year at
Milwaukee, St. Paul, Denver, Salt Lake
City, Houston and San Antonio, which are
ail on tse same circuit with Omaha.
Mr. Nash Is confident that the Omaha
show will be a great success. '"We can
get fifty Omaha horses to show." he said,
"and we may be sure of about 200 from the
outside. There will be a large string of
horses that will follow the entire circuit.
And each succeeding annual show In
Omaha will bring out more local horses.
This will prove a great proposition for this
city."
