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.

(From !i Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 2.-tSpeclal.) The
census returns for the state, which are
prartlcally completed for seven of the
largest cities, show substantial gains for
each. The census for Sioux City will not
be completed for some time yet, as that
city was late In starting to take the census.
Not counting Sioux City, Des Moines ranks
first In site, with Davenport, Cedar Rapids,
Council Bluffs and Burlington coming in
order after. Dubuque la yet to be com
pleted. From estimates based on returns
that are nearly completed the population
of cities are about as follows:

The figures for 1900 are government fig

gain that Is shown In the cities and In
Buchanan county almost .every country
township shows a falling off. It is be
lieved that the state as a whole will,
however, show a substantial gnin.

On the report from the county superin

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.

CHILD SAVING INSTITUTE
Public Invited to Attend Reception
at the Home on
May t.
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.

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. The real old Swiss cheese from Switz
erland wholesales for about double the
price of the local product.
