SEVERAL RESIGN AND PLACES ARE FILLED
Boar Proposes to llolo gpeelal F.
esataatlens for Promotion of
Pwstl Akni of Their
Grade.
At the special meeting of the Board of
Education last night Member Tinley
brought up the question of providing for
examination of pupils who were In advance
Of their grade so that they might secure
promotion without having to wait for the
regular promotion time. He contended that
encouragement fir advancement ought to
be given to those purl! who by hard study
and superior ability went ahead of their
class and that they should be afforded an
opportunity to advance to the next grade
without having to wait for the atated period
of promotion at th end of the eemeaters.
These examinations, he said, should not be
held promiscuously, but at stated periods
during the semester. Member Tlnley s sug
gestion appeared to met with favor at
the hands of the board and the committee
on text hooks and course of study was In
structed to formulate a rule for the holding
of such examinations and submit same at
the regular meeting of the board.

fARMVAL DRAWS RECORD CROWD
Thirteen Tkooaaad People Visit toe
Grooads Darin a Day aod Mgfct.
All roads apparently led to the street
fair snd carnival grounds last night and
at least 10.000 people crowded the en
closure. There was a gnoi attendance
during the afternoon and It Is figured that
over 13.0O people visited the carnival dur
ing the day. This Is said to be a record
breaker for a mid-week attendance.
Yesterday was Omaha day and the at
tendance, especially at night, was largely
swelled by the crowds from across the
river. Despite Its almost unwleldly slse.
the crowd was a most good-natured one
and there waa no rowdyism or disturb
ance of any kind. At times the main
streets of the carnival grounds beoame con
gested, but with the assistance of the
large force of special officers the crowd
was kept moving without any great
trouble.
The feature of the free atttrsctlons jes
terday was the slide for life made by a
young man on a wire from the top of
the Grand hotel to a point within the
carnival enclosure. The young woman who
regularly performed this feat was Injured
at Webster City the week before the com
pany was due here and It was not until
yesterday that a substitute could be found
to take her place.

(From a Staff Correspondent )
DES MOINES, Sept. 7 (Special.) If the
recommendation of Attorney General Mul
len are carried out, the next legislature
will pass laws compelling the loan and
trust associations of the state to pay cer
tain fees to the state auditor. Vnder the
present status of the companies, if their
capital stock Is rightly "fixed" they are
compelled to pay only the fee for the yearly
examination. The recommendation Is that
a certain percentage of the business of tbe
companies be paid into the office of tbe
company.
The recommendation Is made in a long
oplnmn to the attorney general, 1n which
he reviews the conditions of loan asso
ciations of the state and shows that they
are practically without -legal restrictions,
being able to do business without Incor
porating, and to handle funds as trus
tees, receivers and executors. No discrimi
nation Is made In the law between the
companies that accept deposits and those
that do not.

unusual cunning In escaping capture. He
has armed himself with an Iron bar and a
long knife and has defied all attempts at
capture.
Thomas has been a theological student
for the last two years, disappearing from
this city early in the summer. The reason
for the unbalanced Intellect Is problem

FIVE THOUSAND SEPARATE tNTRIES
City Ha Received Thirty-Three
Thoasaad Dollar from These
Sales Since They Were
Started.
Thursday afternoon Treasurer Howe
completed the scsvenger tai list for VA
and the special delinquent taxes for IS
Including Interest up to December 1. lSS.
These books were tsken to Omaha at once
and turned over to the county treasurer.
About 6,nl separate entries sre contslned
In the three books taken to Omaha and
the total amount due on the lists as pre
pared Is $2,034.
Since the scavenger sales started the
city of South Omaha hss received from
these sales a little over $33,000. Thl
money was apportioned among different
funds as needed during the last fiscal year,
but even with the amounts taken out from
this source there still remains In the scav
enger fund about $19,000. The mayor and
council may, whenever It Is deemed sflvls
able, take money from the scavenger fund
and transfer It to any fund that Is getting
low. With the prospect of securing $T4.
000 from this source during the next twelve
months the city officials feel that there will
be no possibility of any of the funds being
overdrawn.
Treasurer Howe says the city was never
In better financial condition than at the
present time. His report for August Just
filed wtlh the city clerk shows a balance
on hand of $93.0TO. Expenditures for Au
gust amounted to ti:. Just about the
amount of the receipts.

May Protect Stock Shippers,
A complaint was made to Assistant City
Attorney Winters yesterday by a stock
shipper that he had been "trimmed" In an
N street barlr shop for $S 50. He said ho
went into the shop to get his hair trimmed
and a shave and that when he got out of
the chair the barber demanded the sum
mentioned. The money was paid, but a por
tion of it was returned to the shipper by
the barber after he had reported the mat
ter to Attorney Winters and the police.
Mr. Winters says there Is no city ordi
nance governing such cases and he. sug
gests that the council take some action to
ward protecting stockmen who visit this
market.
More Aboat Dogs
Chief Brlggs announced yesterday that
the ordinance requiring dogs running at
large to be muzzled or else kept chained
up by the owner would be enforced.
A member of the council called the
chief's attention to the ordinance yes
terday and made the request that It be en
forced. Chief Brlgg's posted the order and
notified the patrolmen. Occasionally of late
eases have been called in police court

some routes are t-ompelled to carry heavy
sticks to keep dogs away while delivering
papers.
Want Crosswalk Cleaned.
Property owners and residents in sll por
tions of the city are complaining about
the depth of mud on crosswalks. The al
most constant rain for two days makes th
un paved streets almost Impassable and in
many places mud to the depth of several
Inches has been allowed to remain on the
crossings. It is suggested that Mayor
Koutsky. who has charge of the street
force, put men at work cleaning the cross
ings. Residents In the vicinity of Twenty
fourth and H streets are complaining bit
terly about the accumulation of mud at
this Intersection. At this point the mud is
o deep that it Is Impossible to get to the
street cars without going almost half a
block In either direction. Rains wash the
soil from H street down onto the pave
ment at Twenty-fourth street and unless
It he during an exceedingly dry spell there
Is always a mudhole at this Intersection.
The surface water from H street Is sup
posed to run under the car tracks, but It
doesn't.

RELIEF FOR THE HAY FEVER
German Professor Said to Have Dis
covered aa Antitoxin that
Does the Work.
An account of the experiments of Prof.
Dunhar of Hamburg with a hay fevsr
antitoxin Is furnished by Consul General
Ouenther to the Department of Commerce
nd Labor. He says:
Prof. Dunbar of Hamburg think that he
has been able to produce an efficient anti
toxin from the blood serum of horses
treated with pollen toxin. This remedy Is
now manufactured at Nlltlts upon a large
scale and has been given the name of
pollantlne.
Its manufacture Is under the control of
the veterinary university at Lelpsle.
A serum suitable for hypodermic Injec
tions Is the object of the most recent ex
periments. Prof. Dunbar thinks that this,
while not absolutely necessary, would be
advantageous, because hay fever differs
from other diseases In which specific anti
toxins have been employed In that the in
fection takes place continually during a
period of several weeks.
"A subcutaneous treatment would In such
a case be desirable," says Prof. Dunbar,
"If the patient thereby would be made
perfectly Insensible to the pollen toxin for
a longer durstlon than. say. of one to two
weeks. This does not seem to be possible at
this time. I also had to abandon the ex
periments for active Immunization of the
hay fever patients as being wholly unsuit
able In practice. I'nder such circumstances
a mode of application had to be found pos
sible for every patient at any time. It wss
therefore a plessant surprise for me when
I could show that the simple application of
one drop of the serum to the conjunctiva
or Into the nasal canal sufficed to render
these msln entrances of the poison com
pletely Insensible and also to remove Irri
tation already existing.
"In esses where the nasal canals are en
tirely closed the desired end will be at
tained by applying the pollantlne repeatedly
to the conjunctiva. It then acts from the
lachrymal canal upon the mucous mem
brane of the nose. If In addition a small
ball of cotton wetted or sprinkled with
antitoxin Is introduced Into the nasal canal
most afflicted It can be made perfectly
free again In the course of about half an
hour, and then the treatment can be ap
plied to the other side."
A further advantageous use of the rem
edy wss obtained by pulverising It. In this
form it was found to be proof against bac
teriological decomposition. Patients require
about fifty grains of the remedy in pow
dered form to keep themselves free from
attacks during an entire season. Of aOC
patients treated by Dr. Luehbert 2T9 used
pollantlne, with absolutely favorable re
sults. 143 with partial success and 63 with
none.
HOMES FOR JTS MANY WEN
Novel Plaa of a Big; Eastern Cor-
Employes.
The General Electric company has
formulated a novel and comprehensive
plan for the housing of Its employes at
Lynn, Masa. It embraces the proposition
lo purchase land, erect cottages of six
rooms and offer them to lta employes upon
terma that will be as aeaslly met as the
rent they now pay. This Is the general
outline of the plan, but the details make
the offer so attractive that the employes
are accepting It beyond th expectations
Of the originators.
The offer Is open to every one of the
1,000 employe and a committee of ten of
the latter, chosen especially for the work,
la engaged In making a tour of the fac
tories for subscribers. n one room alone
seventy-five men subscribed to the propo
sition, and the way In which it has been
taken hold of is believed to presage the
success of the plan.
Tbe company limits the cost of the land
to $400 and the cottage to U.SOU, and will
build nothing but cottages. The terms are
that each subscriber shall have H taken
out of hie wages every week, which In
cludes the Interest on the total cost, taxes.
Insurance and wster rates. The company
figures that this Installment will clear the
house of all Indebtedness at the end of
eight years, when the cottage becomea the
property of the occupant. In addition the
company agrees to give a life insurance
policy to each subscriber for a fixed
amount, and If the subscriber should die
before the house Is paid for. so much of it
as Is required to pay for the house will be
deducted for that purpose, and the house
will become the property of the widow or
other beneficiaries, the balance of the life
Insurance also to be paid to them.
The company has set aside the sum of
$300,000 to carry oat this project and M.
W. Alexander ha been chosen to super
vise the execution of the plan. Saturday
a committee of the employes was Informed
of the company's plans and several hundred
subscriptions were at once made.
The company does not expect nor de
sire to meke any money by the venture.
Their aim Is to retain In their employ
skilled labor, and they believe that this
can best be accomplshed by offering In
ducements of this kind. It is the mOst
gigantic offer of its kind ever made by a
corporation In New England.
