ault of the action of the IlUnota Central,
which, by pooling issues with the Burling

the announcement of the Missouri Pacific
that It would meet the rate of 14 cents

A suspicion obtaina that the rate of 13H

MeBrlea Law IU Cm Gate City
Kerb Meaey II Ea.
Secretary Burgess of the Board of Edu
cation Is still contending for aa amend
ment to the McBrlen free high school
school fund apportionment bill so aa to
provide a way to check the overcrowding
of city high achoola by nonredWe.it pupi.s.
If the law passes la its present form the
Omaha Hglh school will be compelled to
admit as many students from outride as
care to come, provided their county super
intendents certified that their education
cannot be pursued with profit at their own
districts.
"The excellence of the Omaha High school
would draw pupils from ail over the state
once the tuition Is free." says Secretary
Burgess. "Although It costs more than
tf6 annually to educate each pupil In the
local high school, under the McBrien law
we would get only 108.50, or about one-half
of the cost, for each nonresident pupil. I
c-ui see no reason why we should not be
paid the full cost, which is computed after
deducting the cost of sites, permanent Im
provements and interest on bonds.
The worst feature is the probable over
crowding of the high school, which In the
end would mean new buildings, and I
think some of our representatives at Lin
coln should see that the district la not im
posed upon.
"Financially, I don't think Douglas county
would lose much by the proposed law,
which bases the distribution of most of
the school money on the average daily at
tendance instead of by the school census.
Bo far as the general levy of from 1 to 1 Va
mills Is concerned, I think we would get our
proportion of the money back. Last year
this county wss taxed one-half of 1 mill
on Its one-fifth valuation of $-'!.SC2.62i,
which would mean that we contributed
Si4.t31.t0 to the stste school fund."
The Omaha High school Is housed In a
four-story brick building of thirty-seven
rooms snd a three-story stone wing of a
new building having thirty-two rooms. Is
heated by steam and located on a campus
6J0 feet square near the heart of the city.
The ground is valued at 4j0,u00 ai.d the
buildings at 1300,000.
For the year ending June 30. 1904. the
average daily attendance at tbe high school
was 1,241, or a Jotal enrollment of I.K.5. for
which there were fifty-five principals and
teachers. The annual cost per pupil was
j 51, estimated upon the total expendi
ture lets cost of site, permanent improve
ments and Interest and exchange. Item

The coming election of the Commercial
elub appears to be one without politics.
At least, there is very little beard about
any slate to put in control anr particular
element of the financial and business In
terests of Omaha. It Is ssid in various
quarters to be recognised that this year
ail parties should have representation on
the executive committee. The experience
cf the past has shown a alate caa be suc
cessfully carried through If sufficient work
is done. Two years ago the retailers got
together befor the election and by a little
political maneuvering succeeded in carrying
the executive committee. The election
placed eighteen retailers on th committee
of twnty-fh-e. Last year the retailers
went to Bleep, and the result waa tha Job
bers got Into the game with a nice new
slate. They were able to keep out all but
two retailers and two or three men not In

Tuesday will be the annual meeting and
election of the club and during the day the
board of directors will be chosen. The
board numbers srxty members of the club
and will be chnsen from 130 names selected
by a committee on nomination. If the
voters desire other names blanks are left.
The poll open at noon and close at t
o'clock In the evening. It was proposed to
have the executive committee chosen ac
cording to the per cent of members of each
sort In the club. In that way the Jobbers
would be entitled to one repreeenteUve In
the committee for every twenty-five mem
bers, so with the retailers and professional
men. Each Interest would be alile to nomi
nate Ita candidates. The suggestion re
ceived considerable approval, especially
among the "outs," but was not acted on st
the last meeting. It seems to be the gen
eral opinion the wholepalers will concede to
the retailers about six members of the com
mittee. The board of directors to be chosen Tues
day will meet In a few days and elect the
executive committee. This will miet again
and choose its officers. Robert S. Wilcox Is
president. Frsnk N. ' Clarke treasurer,
Charles II. Brown secretary, E. J. McVann
commissioner and W. S. Wright chairman
of the executive committee. It has become
a sort of precedent that the chairman of
the committee be promoted to the presi
dency of the club, so It Is considered as
more than probable Mr. Wright will 'be the
next head of the club.
