Advocates of the homeopathlo method of vaccination- decided yesterday to pursue another course In securing the recognition by the Board, of Education of certificates Imutd by physicians of that school. A new action was brought In the district court In which Sheriff Canning again ap pear aa plaintiff and the Board of Health as well as the Board of Education as de ' fends nts. , The petition aeta forth that the question of the . method of vaccination was not Involved In the other suit and that the plaintiff Is therefore entitled to a hearing on this question. The court la requested to modify the former order so as to permit the admission to the schools of pupils vaccinated, by the homeopathic method, pending the hearing of an application fnr a temporary injunction restraining the Board of . Health and the Board of Educa tion from excluding such pupils. On behalf of the plaintiff 1t Is contended that by right the former; suit before Judge Oreen should not have been tried before the November term tiut for the fact that there was art agreement to have a hear ing at once. This prevented the patrons of the schools who are Opposed to vac clnatlon by scarification Intervening and this is one. of the grounds on which tha new suit Is based. The petition was presented to Judge Wheeler yesterday- but . he declined to make any order, and advised the attor ney to. go before Judge Green at Ixigan and make their application for a modifi cation of his order to htm personally.

The Board of Education being advised that it had no alternative in the matter stood pat by the mandatory Injunction Is sued by Judge Oreen and refused to admit any pupils presenting certificates of vac cination by- the Internal method.

The election of officers in Company M of the Fifty-fifth regiment has been reported to the office of tho adjutant general. Ivan E. Ellwood, formerly first lieutenant, was elected captain, vice Guy E. Logan, who resigned to take the position of assistant adjutant general. Earl C. Kessler was elected first lieutenant, to succred Ellwood, and O. Ray Logan was elected second lieu tenant. The latter is a brother of Major Logan. On the report from the county superin tendent's, showing that 90 per cent favored the state certificate plan for teachers, as opposed to the county plan, the legislative committee of the superintendents' division of tho state association have decided to ask a bill of the next legislature. The committee Is still in session today at tho state' house. Rumor has It that an attempt Is to be made by certain property owners in this city to secure a restraining order prevent ing the t'nlon Inclfle from erecting a fence along its right-of-way through the city limits. Posts have been it and men are at work now placing material on the ground for this fence. It Is understood that C. M. Hunt and others nre endeav oring to raise a fund for the employment of attorneys to take the matter Into the courts. I'nder Its contract with the city the Vnlon Pacific has a right to erect a fence along Its right-of-way, as the build ing of the O street vlnduct was one of the concessions made by the railroad company for the privilege of fencing the tracks. One prominent railroad official said last evening that when the t'nlon Pacific Is ready to fence the tracks the work will go ahead and that there Is no reasonable excuse for keeping grude crossings open with three viaducts across the tracks. With the closing of the tracks large sums of money are to be spent In rearranging switches, laying new track and putting In additional storage tracks. Owners of property on N street west of Twenty-sixth fear that their property will depreciate In value In case the tracks are fenced and they are the ones that are making the talk about securing an Injunction. As far as the business on. lower N street Is con cerned1, it will naturally fall off on ac count of the diversion of traffic to O street. Those In a position to know de clare that the value of the property will not be decreased to any grent extent, as It Is the Intention of the railroads to pur chase ground east of the present right-of-way for tracknge and depot purposes. Nothing In this' respect will be done as long as property owners are antagonistic to the Improvements contemplated by the railroads. Meets Attain Friday Slant. It was reported on the streets yesterday that the Fire and Police Commissioners would hold a meeting last night to take action on some liquor license applications When the time for the meeting arrived Secretary Bergqulst said that It was rc ported that Member Nolan was out of the city. The meeting was therefore post poned until Friday night. After consid eration In executive session at the meeting Tuesday night the board granted three li censes which were omitted from the list published in Tha Bee Wednesday morning. These licenses were: Alexander Grant, 371 North Twenty-fourth street; William Tay lor, 412 North Twenty-fourth street, and Fred Hefferman, Twenty-ninth and Q streets. The board expects to hold meet lngs on both Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. Increased Pay for Police Tlnard Under an act of the recent legislature a bill Introduced by Senator L. C. Gibson was passed with the emergency clause, In creasing the compensation of tho members of the Fire and Police Commissioners. t'ndcr the old law each commissioner re ceived an annual salary of $100, making a total of $500 per annum, there being five members of the bonrd. The new law pro vides a salary of $100 per annum for each member and an allowance of $16 per month for the secretary, This makes the Fire and Police board cost the taxpayers of the city $l,fiS0 a year for salaries alone. JThe salaries of the police commission Is to be paid out of the general salary fund. This Increase In salaries starts from April 4, when the bill was passed and was signed by Governor Mickey. In order to provide for this Increase In salaries an adltlonal lovy will have to he made this year In order that there may be no overlap In the salary fund. Fire Hall Plans. A committee of the city council, consist ing of Adkins, Queenan and McCralth, met Wednesday afternoon and recommended that L. A. Davis, a South Omaha architect, be employed to draw plans for a fire de partment huljdlng to be erected a$ Twenty. fifth and L streets. This committee con dogs are Ignoring the ordinance, t'p to Inst night only seventy-six tags had been sold. At the same date last year 250 tags hr.d been sold. For some reason the peo ple do not serm to take kindly to the new dog ordlnnnce, and the sale of tags so far goes to demonstrate this fact. Pound master McQIll declares that lie will start out early on the morning of May 1 to lasso all untagged dogs), then all kinds of trouble may he looked for. lain Causes Walla to Settle. R. C. Strelow recently commenced build ing three cottages on Twenty-sixth street between J and K streets, and the founda tions were laid before the recent heavy rains. The filling around the foundations was fresh dirt and the rains loosened the dirt so that the foundntlons have fallen in. Mr. Strelow will have to refill the ground and rebuild the foundation walls of his cottHges before he ran proceed with the erection of the dwellings. The caving In of the foundation walls of these house will cause a couple of weeks' delay In the completion of the structures. Maalc City Gossip. C. M. Liggett of Fort Collins.

The board of trustees of the Child Saving Institute has issued the following Invitation and appeal to the public: The nursery committee of the Child Sav ing Institute has arranged to give a public reception at the Institute building May 9 to which the citizens of Omaha and vicinity are cordially InvltPd. The board of trustees of the Institute takes thla opportunity of making, a public appeal. First of all we appeal to all friends of the Institute, if possessed of a conveyance, to Invite friends to accompany him or her to the Institute building located on Ohio street at the head of Eighteenth street, on May 9, and see what Is being done. If not possessed of a conveyance take friends with you and board a Sherman avenue or North Twentieth street car, which will answer nearly as well, having only a snort dis tance to walk from either car to Eigh teenth and Ohio streets. The babies will furnish the appeul and entertainment after you arrive. In the second place, we appeal to the pub lic for financial aid because the work of the Institute has expanded until It Is una ble to m-et the demands made upon it. Tho question now before the board of trustees Is, "Shall the work be curtailed?'' or "Shall It bo encouraged'" Being a public charity, It Is thought the question should be pre sented to the public. This work Is not pcnerally understood. It is entirely one of saving homelesn and des titute children, caring for them until suit able Christian homes can be found, placing them in such homes on trial, and if the home is after trial found to be one which recommends itself to the board of trustees. the child is legally trannrerred liy adoption to the family and its future thereby guar anteed under Christian environment. With out such protection In the first instance the child Is likely to become a burden upon tile public either in an alms house or a ponal institution. in tha nature of the case such a work must grow rapidly In dimensions and con sequently In its necessities. The growth of this Institution is illustrated by the following statistics: rp to August so, v.mi. the work was carried on Ji theold build ing at S02-VX5 South Eighteenth treet. Au gust 80, 1901 the new home at Eighteenth and Ohio streets was provided by the board of trustees without expense thus far to the public, although there is a small debt not yet provided for upon It. The number of children handled each year for six years past Is ub follows! In 1899, 14C; in 1900, 190; In 1901, 204; In 1902, 244; In 1903. 2X8, and In 19;4, 289. The only reason for the small increase in nuinueis mr wan come loosened, and the rats, running over It, turned It. Before going to bed White had purchased a small basket full of sand wiches, cheees?, cookies and other food for the next day. This fie placed on the floor directly behind the stove from the hole through which the rodents are In the habit of entering. When the man was found un conscious only a few straps of food wrre left In the basket; It had all been pulled Into the hole by the rata. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINGS o More Will Be Held tntll the Method of Procedure la Made Certain. No special meeting of the city council was held yesterday afternoon to pass a general ordinance governing sidewalk con struction because of certain complications arising In the manner of Issuing the call. Under Instructions front the legal depart ment, the city clerk prepared a call which did not set forth the precise objects of the meeting, Attorney Breen stating that the new charter did not require all business to be transacted at a special meeting to be enumerated In the call. as the former charter did. After the call was Issued and signed by a majority of the councllmen, City Clerk Elbourn happened to think that the rules of the council required the spe cific objects of the meeting set forth. He called the legal department's attention to the matter and the legal department was Considerably puzzled. Eventually it was decided that the safest thing to do was to call off the special meeting and put in some calm and concentrated thought on tho subject. Those who know much about the city ball know that the question Involved Is an Im portant one. The city clerk, with the aid of the old chnrter, ruled strictly that no Special meeting could be held without tha purpose being announced In advance and nothing transacted at the meeting that was not mentioned in the call. This course was backed up firmly by the legal department, but before It was, the foundation was laid for many a costly suit to evade special taxes. There are other reasons obvious for the precautions, such as attempts to work through vicious legislation, steals, etc., for these things have sometimes x hap pened. Under the legal department's ruling on the new charter, the fofmer safeguards are thrown down and the bars removed. The rules are still good, however, and can't be amended without a two-thirds Vote of the council. rl gaenaadoah. Hammer mine. - . .. . -r.. . ,r .

FIVE DAYS JN AN ICEBOX Inpleasant Kxnerlenre of Man Who Was Denting; Ills Way on Inlon Pacific. Locked for five days In the Ice box of a refrigerator car without food, Emil Schwarz arrived In Omaha Tuesday night with frozen feet and In a pitiable condition of starvation. He was liberated In the t'nlon Pacific yards by a Bwitchman named Johnson, who heard a revolver shot In the car and made an investigation. He was so weak that he could walk only with assiatance, and his frosted feet were so sore that it was misery for him to bear his weight on them. Luckily he had a little money in his pocket, and after drinking a bowl of soup at a lunch coun ter he found a place to sleep. In the morning he was able to cut more, and after an early breakfast came to the po lice station to have his wounds dressed by the police surgeons. Schwarz is an Austrian, 22 years of age. He was on his way from California to New York, where his parents live. At the sta tion he told the following story: "I was out of work and couldn't find any thing to do In California, and I was beat ing my way on the trains and saving my change for food. At Laiamle, on the Union Pacific, I got Into the Ice box of an empty refrigerator car to ride to Cheyenne.

CHEESE MOVES TO THE FRONT Annual Disturbance In Market t anned by Transition from One Crop . to Another. In Its quiet little way, the cheese Is cut ting more ice than most of tho products, for It Is now higher than It has been at this particular time of tho season for nt least eleven years. The welch rarebit is not so much of a domestic animal as many would have us suppose, for the crude American cheese, which is the very corner stone of its existence and on which tho chafing dish depends for an excuse for do ing business, tt now 4 cents a pound higher wholesale than It was at the close of last April. The reason for this unrea sonableness lies In the fact that stocks are very nearly exhausted. While tho American choose Is getting haughty, the domestic 8wls is having a hard time. While tho Swiss Is In the habit of advancing slightly at this season, know ing that only a limited number of the good old stock arc left this yeor, they have de clined about 5 cents and are now wholesal ing at 154 and 16c, which Is below tho normal. Thee llttlo fluctuations do not affect tho Imported Swiss cheese and tho other for eigners or even the fancy American prod uct.
