Monday the public school will open,
altir the uual holiday vacation. It had
been the Intention of the Board of Educa
tion to hold examination for teachers the
latter part of December, but owing to the
ruling made by the board that all appli
cants for certMcatrs niUFt have had suc
cessful experience a teacher not an ap
plication was made and consequently there
wa ho examination hold. There seemed to
be Quite a bit of feeling at what aeemed
on the face to be an effort on the part of
the Board of Education not to rive any
more positions as teacher to graduate of
the South Omaha Hitch school. Many of
those eligible called on members of the
board with their friends in an endeavor to
rectify the matter. To a great extent this
'has been done.
C. M. Rich, a member of the Board of
Education, said yesterday that commencing
on Monday a sort of training school would
be established. "Those who have gradu
ated from the high school," said Mr. Rich,
"and have secured certificates from the
examining board will be permitted to teach
In the schools under the direction of the
principals of buildings and the teachers In
rooms where these graduates are to be
ass'oed."
About seventeen young women who have
certificates are expected to report to Super
intendent McLean on Monday morning for
assignment to school rooms. These addi
tional teachers will serve without pay, but
after a period of time will be able to go
before the board and ask for schools, giv
ing their records as extra teachers In the
South Omaha schools as experience. Super
intendent McLean is reported to be opposed
to this plan, but the board adopted the
rule last Monday night over the remon
strance of the superintendent.

Prank M. Cunningham, president of the
National Aisociatlon of Rural Free De
livery Carriers, said, In talking of his re
moval from the service and the discharge
of all of the members of the executive
committee of the association: "It is our
Intention now to proceed as If nothing had
happened for a time. I propose sending
out ths members of the executive commit
tee to sell mail carls to rural carriers.
Just at present I am figuring with a big
factory in the east for the manufacture
of these carts. Upon investigation I find
that we can sell these carts to rural car
riers for about 135 and still make a profit."
Mr. Cunningham expects to get the mem
bers of the executive committee started
out selling mall carts about February 1.
As for making a statement for publication
In connection with the removal of members
of the executive com mil toe. President Cun

Rasing lee House.
The old frame icehouse at the south end
of the Swift plant is being torn down and
will not be replaced. Mr. George Swift, the
temporary manager of the plant here, said
that as there was no further use for the
building the company had decided to tear
It down in order to lessen the chances of
fire at the plant. This building was put up
about thirteen years ago when the packers

You deposit nothing. You risk nothing. You promise nothing. There la

My offer Is as broad as humanity itself. For sickness knows no distinction
In Its ravages. And the restless patent on a downy couch Is no more welcome
than the wasting sufferer who frets through the lagging hours in a dismal hovel.

' Inside Nerves!
Sickness loses half Its terrors when we

The nerves are weak. Not the nerves that
govern your movements and your thoughts.
But the nerves that, ungulded and un
known, night and dsy. keep your heart In
motioncontrol your digestive apparatus

These are the nerves that wear out and
break .down.
It does no good to treat the ailing organ
ths Irregular heart the disordered liver
the rebellious stomach the deranged kid

to the nerves that control them. There you
will find the seat of ths trouble.
There Is nothing new about this nothing
any physician would dispute. But It re

Fire In Lake Street School.'
The children of the Lake Street school,
located at Nineteenth and Lake streets,
came near not having to return to school
next Monday morning. Richard Johnson,
who lives near ths school, discovered a
blaze in the building at 9:30 o'clock last
evening. He at once turned In an alarm
and the firemen were soon at the scene.
The fire started In the furnace room In
the rear part of the building. The wood
work on a brick wall which enclosed the
room was evidently first Ignited and the
flames ran up the wall to the flooring of
the room above and ate their way along
the Joists, eating through the floor In places.
The damage to the building will not amount
to more than SluO, It Is thought, which, is
fully covered by insurance.

release them from the biasing building.
The cause of the fire Is unknown, but it
is supposed that a vagrant had gone to
the barn to spend the night, and probably
smoked a pipe or cigarette before going to
sleep and Ignited the hay. If such is the
case ne probably escaped from the -building,
as there were no remains found last
night.

DAILY DEE: SUNDAY. JANUARY S. 1903.
OUI LETTER BOX
Dnreottlns; la Irelaasl.
OMAHA, Jan. t-To the Editor of The
Bee: In looking over lat Sunday's Bee
something curious met my gaxe under tho
heading of "Boycotting In Ireland." J am
surprised at such a misleading tatement.
To all Irishmen who know the facts of the
case it Is a pleasure to know that Mr. Fell
Is not feeling as comfortable as when he
was planning Mr. Murphy's eviction. Mr.
Fell Is making a great mistake If he think
he can make the American Irish believe
that landlordism 1s anything but what it
really Is; my opinion of a landlord Is that
he is Inferior to a slave trader, and can
say that from experience.
Mr. Fell Is represented to have said:
"Long before this eviction took place, for
some unaccountable reason, I have been
subjected to petty tyrany and rigorous
boycott." I would like to know what he
means by petty tyranny? I knew Mr. Fell
personally for a number of years, and long
before this eviction took place as he says;
and I never knew an unkind word said of
him; but perhaps someone might pass him
on the road without taking off his hat and
bowing for the lord of the soil. I believe
Mr. Fell would call that petty tyranny,
and this petty tyranny must have com
menced after I left Ireland In June, 1903.
Then, If he came to this country he would
probably call us all petty tyrants.
Now, because these people' try to defend
their home against whom I would be
justified in calling "murderers" he raises
an alarm and tries to brsnd them all as out
laws. We cannot blame him altogether
for that, because such has been the cus
tom since Cromwell planted the first land
lord on Irish soil, and murdered the origi
nal owners, men, women and children. How
ofton have they been guilty of murder
openly, by throwing out on the roadside
poor, helpless families to die of exposure
and starvation? And still they have to
have such laws. But this vatergrassh1ll
eviction Is an exception to others because
Mr. Murphy, the now evicted tenant, would
not pay the price for the land that Fell
wished. He began to plan his eviction and
wlien Murphy became aware of this, he
went and offered to the agent the full
amount, but he was told he was late now.
Would such be tolerated in any country
in the world? Tet it Is only a speck on
the ocean when compared with the tortures
those people are subjected to. No wonder
the Irish traders refuse to trade with such
tyrants; but he says they have the Irish
government at their back. I would like
to know who the Irish government are. If
I were asked I would certainly say the
Irish landlords, and who really carried out
this Watergrasehill eviction and every
other eviction throughout the country, and
who called about 400 police to club any
man In their way?
If Mr. Fell has always been a good neigh
bor, as he says, why hasn't he the good will
of the neighbors and the people who elect
yearly men of Mr. Fell's creed to their
public bodies, an example of which is
Captain Donelan, the worthy member of
Parliament for East Cork? But because
they won't allow themselves to be tram
pled on by these would-be murderers, he
must call on the people of the United
States to look over at the conduct of these
people; but they need not remind the Irish
people, they are still looking over at the
conduct of such as Fell.
I hope The Bee's readers will not take
this landlords statement as representing
the real facts. I am sure they have tnelr
own opinions of the Irish people.

Market House Control.
OMAHA, Jan. 4.To the Editor of The
Bee: I would like to know how much
longer the taxpayers of the city of Omaha
are going to allow the market of the city
to be controlled by a private corporation?
Is it not about time that the taxpayers and
citlsens In general take some steps to have
a permanent market place established be
fore the so-called Grocers' association
rents those little sheep sheds at Eleventh
and Jackson streets and swindles the
market gardeners out of their money,
making them pay 835 or $40 for permission
to back up to a platform with a little
piece of Iron about two feet wide to pro
tect them from the elements? This "roof"
is not wide enough to keep a crate of
berries from getting wet. Is it also not
about time to call a halt In regard to
the city paying a market master 8100 a
month to run a market house that does
not bring In more than one-fourth of his
salory? Capitol avenue and our market
house are all right, If the citizens and tax
payers will commence In time and shed
over the sidewalks In good shape and show
the markei gardeners that we mean busi
ness. The majority of them will come
there, as they are getting tired of, being
humbugged by the so-called wholesale mar
ket and paying $40 per season and then
having to pay 10 cents per day besides.
All this money goes Into the treasury of
the so-called Grocers' association and the
city does not receive a cent. The city pays
for the police service and gets nothing In
return. In all the United States, or In the
world, there Is not a city that does not
control the market houses and market
places except Omaha. Why Is it?
A MARKET GARDENER.
Donslas County Veterans' Monament.
OMAHA, Jan. 7.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Will you kindly allow me a small
space In your paper to say a few things
In regard to the contemplated soldiers'
monument?
For eight long years a small band of
faithful women have been at work trying
to raise funds to erect a suitable monu
ment to commemorate the deeds of those
who have done so much for us. In eight
years, with har work, these women have
raised H.S0O, the most of which was given
by the old soldiers themselves. In this
city of Omaha, containing a population of
1BO.000 or more, there are as many and
even more of its citlsens who have served
In the Union army in th war of the re
bellion than any other community of equal
slxe In the United States. As after the
war, when Omaha began its growth, the
stalwart young men of th east came west
to grow up with the country, and as a
result we have today a larger percent
age of veterans' graves in our country
than any other slty of corresponding pop
ulation In the country.
No tablet or memorial tribute of any
kind exists within our borders to express
our appreciation of ths noble sacrifices of
these glorious and patriotic men. It is
our duty as citlsens to help these women
In their noble work. We owe to the vet
erans of 1S61-S a debt that can never be
paid and we should do all we could to
show those that 411I survive that neither
their achievements nor those of their dead
comrades are to b forgotten.
About one year ago a contribution of 81
was aked of each cltlsen, and there are
very few but could spare that trivial
amount, to add to th monument fund.
In order that a suitable memorial could
be erected. The response was very mea
ger. Had the response been liberal, funds
sufficient would have been secured to
erect one of the finest soldiers' monuments
in the country.
The women having charge of the monu
ment proposition are becoming almost dis
couraged. They are doing the best tbey
can, and have about concluded to go on
with the work with the means they no
havs snd put up a monument such as
their present meager fund of $1,800 will
procure. Will the citlsens of Omaha let
this be done? The most picturesque spot
In Forest Lawn cemetery ha been do
nated for the purpose of the monument
Thirteen hundred dollar will provide but
a makeshift for a monument at the best
by the time the foundation is laid, the
pedestal built and whatever figure Is de
signed for the monument proper. So cheap
sn affair will not be points wUh rrlde.
Smaller towns In Nebraska have built mon
uments, the cost of which runs Into thou
sands. Smaller cities all over the coun
try have erected magnificent tributes to
their soldier dead. Should this great gate
way city of the west do les than these?
TVrmit me to anneal to the pride and
loyalty of Omaha to come to the help of
these women and Increase the monument
fund to at least $3,500. It ought to be

ALBION, Neb., Jan. 5.-To the Editor
of The Bee: A two weeks' trip
to relatives in western town of Ne
braska has been a pleasurable one, not only
to my spending the Ohrlstma and New
Year' holiday with those near and dear
to me, but by observing the wonderfut
progress that has been made In the last
four years, since I last visited them.
The improvements at Pierce, Pierce
county, were particularly noticeable by the
increase of business places and by the ad
dition of private residences, palatial in de
sign, with modern Improvements up to
date. The only church, I think, was the
now Pnnirrviratlnnnl one. which Is the prldo
of Its efficient and sealous pastor.' Rev.
George Taylor, his excellent congregation
and the whole community, as It Is a beau
tiful edifice, complete in all parts for
church and Sunday school purposes, while
the basement Is fitted up Tor social con
gregational gatherings; well heated and
lighted, containing all requirements for
dining, etc., without going outside for a
single piece of crockery; in fact, equal, if
not superior, to any In our metropolitan
city of Omaha.
To get to Albion I left Norfolk Junction
for Oakdale. a pretty little town, the west
ern terminus of the loop line from Scrlbner.
AH the many towns passed seemed to be
prosperous and bustling with activity. Ar
riving here the last day of 1904, to fina
a beautiful city with a population of about
2,000, celebrated as being the largest one
and the county seat of Boone county, hav
ing the Northwestern and Union Pacific
railroad depots, with large elevators and
the now famous mills of the Albion Milling
company, with a capacity of 150 barrels
per day; the court house, a fine structure,
occupying a whole block; Its officials,
Judges, district and county clerks, and at
torneys and mayor all efficient, genial and
courteous gentlemen, as were the editors of
the News ant Argus, and Its business men.
That it is the center of a very fertile dis
trict was evidenced In the large attendance
of farmers who. with their wives, turned
out to meet "The Gospel Train of Pure
Seed Cern" furnished by the Northwestern
and Nebraska university. The exhibits
and lectures of the professors were plain,
practical and convincing, listened to wltti
wrapt attention, will result In Incalculable
benefit to the Boverelgn state of Nebraska.
The farmers, who all seemed well to do,
were loud In its praise. Albion, with its
seven churches, banks and private resi
dences and beautiful In winter. In summe
must be an Ideal town. My trip has con
firmed me in the belief that "confldence
has been restored." and that an era of
prosperity Is in store, not only for Ne
braska, but for ,the entire United States.

THE VALUE OP CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Vsefnl It la ia
Preserving; Health and Scanty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
ths safest and most efficient disinfectant
end purifier in nature, but few realise its
value when taken Into the human system
for the sains oleanslng purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the mere you
take of It the better; It la sot a drug at all,
but simply absorbs ths gosee snd Impuri
ties always - present In th stomach and
intestines and carries them out of th
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and imrrovet
th complexion, It whiten the tee'b and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs th Injurious gases which col
lect In tb stomach and bow!aj it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
or rather la the form of large, pleasant
of catarrh.
Alt druggist sell charcoal In on form
oi another, but probably th best cHarcoal
snd th most for th money 1 in Stuart's
Charcoal Losengea; they ar composed of
th finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmles antiseptics In tablet form,
tasting ioxsnges, Ui charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these losanges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of th
general healtn, better complexion, sweater
bteath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It Is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the, contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of tht
benents of charcoal, says: "I advls
Quart's Charcoal Losenges to all patients
suffering front gas In stomach aud bowsla,
and to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth snd throat; I also believe
th liver 1 greatly benefited by th dally
uss of them; they cost but tenty-flv

MUNGER RENDERS THE DECISION
Verdict Entitles Dlatrlet to Receiver
from Parties Who Bonght Jade
meats Obtained In Eigh
teen ElghtyFlve.
Judge Munger has handed down a trio of
memoranda opinions relative . to certain
school district bond cases that have be n
on the federal court dockets sine 1SM-S5.
The title of the rases, all of which are
Identical, Is: William" Lawson against
School District No. 1, William Lawson
against School District No. 8. William Law
son against School District No. 4, all in
Phelps county, Nebraska.
Suit was brought by the plaintiff to re
rover on certain school bonds In the several
districts and a Judgment was obtained In
1KS5 sgalnst the school districts In favor of
the plaintiff. A peremptory writ of man'
damus was issued by Judge Dundy to levy
a tax for tiie collection of the Judgments.
The levy was made and In the meanwhile
the judgments were sold to Frank and Con
rad Bunn by Lawson. The Judgments were
paid by Instalments to Elmer D. Frank,
then United States circuit court clerk, but
It appears no record of the payment of the
judgments was made In the United Status
circuit court and suit was brought by the
Bunn brothers, who were mutes, against
the school districts for the amount of the
Judgments again In the form of a revivor of
judgment.
It was shown by the school district au
thorities that the amounts of the Judgments
had been paid to Elmer D. Frank, he hav
ing given the school district authorities re
ceipts therefor which were produced In
court. The revivor of Judgment thereupon
was denied as sgalnst the school districts.
Th cose ha been dragging along In the
circuit court since that time In various
forma, with the original purchaser of the
bonds. William Lawson, as defendant and
plaintiff at Intervals.
In his finding In the respective cases
Judge Munger says:
The court finds that the said Judgments
have been fully paid and satisfied by the
defendants (the school districts) herein. It
Is therefore ordered and adjudged that the
application of the said Frank and Conrad
Bunn for revivor of Judgment be denied and
that said Judgments have been fully paid
and that the defendants have and recover
of and from said Frank and Conrad Bunn
their costs Incurred in this application and
