GRADES TRANSFERRED TO HIGH SCHOOL Boar Would Uke to Establish a V School, hmt fund Are ot la Sight for Patoie- Paplla Walk Two Miles. Except informally talking over the mst ter the Board of Education has not taken any steps toward the erection of a grade school building In the northeastern portion of the city. Another school building east of the street car tracks on Twenty-fourth street la badly needed and doubtless one would be arranged for this winter were It not for the fact that a statement of the finances of the school district shows that there will be an overlap at the end of the school year of about 1S,0. Hawthorne school Is overcrowded and In order to make room for the Increase In the number of pupils three gradca have been moved from this school to tho High school building. One eighth grade school was transferred from the Hawthorne to the High school building some weeks ago and yesterday two sixth grade schools were located In rooms on the ground floor of the High school building. These two sixth grades number 120 pupils. The teachers trans ferred from the Hawthorne to the High school building are Miss Elsie Montgom ery, Miss Genevieve Maddox and Mlaa Ethel Yost. . Pupils living as far east as Thirteenth street and who formerly attended the Haw- I thorne school are now compelled to walk i ch ar to the High school, funding. Borne ' ir the pupils live nenrly two hilles from the ; High school and In severe wenther the long walk will be extremely hard on these i chlldien who live so far away. With an- other ward scnool building in the north- eaft portion of tho city the. overcrowded condition of Hawthorne school would be greatly relieved and pupils would not have, nearly so far to wulk. It Is possible that the Board of Education may ct fkid some way to secure the funds for another school building. Mre Trouble About Foundations. When work was commenced on the foun dation of Wie I'nlon Pacific passenger sta tion on Twenty-seventh, between M and N streets. It was not thought there would be and trouble about putting In the foundations. Much to the surprise of those in charge of the work the excavating Is caving In and the trenches till rapidly with water. A great deal of lumber la being used in bracing the walls of the excava tions and every effort Is being put forth to hold the walls long enough for the con crete foundation walls to be set. Work men are having a hard time digging In tho mud and It Is almost impossible to secure men for this kind of work. Timber boxes ure being used to mold the concrete for the foundation walla below the surface. It Is presumed that the, water comes from the springs and creeks, which formerly flowed through the land where the railroad tracks- are now laid. On ac count of the trouble with the cave-ins the work on the passenger station Is not pro gressing as rapidly as wus expected. Noth- , . ,, , ,. ... .. Ing has been done for two weeks on the Vnlon Pacific freight depot soutli of N street. Heavy timbers still brace, the walls I of the excavation to prevent the ground 1 from caving In and the tracks from sliding ; Into the big hole. ! Every Fair Uay t'onnta. ( "Every fair day now counts a greiyt d"al." ' said James Parks yesterday. In speaking of ' tho piivlng on 'Tweiily-fourth street".' "We . are. using nil the men we can get and sM'l want more tp go to work at 20 cents :tn hour." The concrete mixer is working steadily and the five Inch concrete lase for the pave ment Is going down rapidly. This work can continue .hist us long as the temperature does not drop too low for the successful use of cement. The old asphalt pavement Is now helng torn up between I and J streets. Most of J he old pavement clear to I street hns been broken up and hauled away. If the weather holds good until the concrete base Is down the laying of the paving brick on two inches of sand can bo done even If the temperature is near the freezing point. Contractor McOowan has about com pleted the curbing of Missouri avenue to Twentieth street. Some work was being done yesterday at the Intersection of Twen tieth and Missouri avenue. With two or three exceptions both sides of the avenue are now cdrla'd to a point west of Nine teenth street. These exceptions are where the washouts are so deep that curbing can not be set until considerable filling is done. This filling Is to lie made when the roadway Is graded for the pavers. Jetter Lets Contracts. Tuesday afternoon the Jetter Brewlnt, company let contracts to McDonald & Bock for the construction of a two-story' brick office building and an Ice machine building. These buildings will be constructed on the same architectural design and will stand In front of the preBent office building at the brewery. The ground space to he covered will be 4xiW feet. The completed buildings without inside furnishings will cost In the neighborhood of 115.000. According to the GOVERNMENT NOTICES. CHIEF QUARTERMASTER'S OFFICE, Omaha. Neb.. October 17, 19"4.

GET PROFITS OF INSURANCE BUSINESS City F.lecrtrln Compiles Interesting Flcnrea In t oarae of Ills Fight for Redaction In Rates. In his efforts to compel a reduction In fire Insurance rates In Omaha City F.lectriclnn Mlchaelsen has compiled some Interesting figures showing the Immense amount of money taken out of Obi alia each year nnd the handsome profit the Insurance com panies make out of the Omaha policy-hold ers.. These figures will be turned over to the committee at pointed by the Commerc'al club to look Into the matter. During the yer 1W2, the last year In which the Insurance companies filed with the city authorities such statistics, the total amount of money paid for fire Insur ance was $671, 400 and the total flrn losseu that year aggregated W!.GiX. The totl amount being paid now for Are Insurance Mr. Mlchaelsen estimates. Is at the least 1600,000 a year. . i "The losses for the last ten years," said Mr. Mlchaelsen, "averaged 1173.000, a year. Allowing the companies jo per cent for running the business. It would leave Omaha contributing aa "a net profit to the fire In surance companies from Sluo.OU) to tOOO.utO each year. t tlasls of Profit. "This profit Is based on the figures which the companies have filed with the city authorities under the old law nnd does not count the rebates and the reinsurance busi ness, which would Increase their profits. Another thing. In figuring their profits, the salvage Is not .considered. When a large fire occurs the companies puy the face of the policy and take the wreckage. This wreckage Is taken by them to Chicago or some other city by some of their own or ganisations and there disposed of, which also contributes to their profits, which are not considered In the above figures. "After the wires were put under ground the Insurance companies were only asked to -make a reduction of points, which would amount to 115,000 or JJO.ouO, and they should have been glad to concede that. Now that they have refused they should be fought for a still greater reduction. If Chicago and New York ure to get all of the profits of this business they should send the money out nere to Keep up our fire department and help us protect them against Are loss. While It Is true Omaha rates aro not much higher than a lot of other cities, there is nn reason why an Insurance company should iiuike such enor nious profits." RESULT PLEASES UNCLE SAM Obviates Big Expense and Trouble of Long, Incertaln l.eal Warfare. "We are naturally gratified over the out come of the Bartlett. Richards and W. G. Comstock cases," said United States Dis trict Attorney Baxter Tuesday morning. "The plea of guilty In their cases was un expected, ss wo hsd anticipated a strong and expensive fight wi'h tlitin. They were first indicted by the federal grand Jury after the November term of lDTtl, being one of the first formal Indictments brought for Illegal ' fencing of government lands. Subsequently i indictments were found against them In 1904 and 1905. the last I wo being merely to verify and fortify the original indict ment. In the meanwhile-1 he gos-erhment has been ready for trial on two occasions, but continuances were obtained by the de- fendunts on fomn pretext or other. We were anxious to bring the case to trial, as it was the backbone of the opposition to removing rences In the northwestern part i of the state, It was the determined Inten- tlon of the government lo puh the case against them to the full extent of the law. Hence the admission bf their guilt was I very gratifying to the government. These defendants were men of large means and were able to employ the most competent counsel and hence we were anticipating a long and hard flsht. "The result o' this confession to the plea of the government will have a most salutary effect. The government has not sought to persecute these men or any of the cattlemen, but simply to secure the public domain to the equal rights and privileges of all. We look now for the general removal of the fences on the pub lic lands and between that the outcome of the Richards and Comstock cases will be ' the stimulus to a speedy removal of the fences. However, the government will not temporize In tho matter at all. All cases now pending for illegal fencing will be most vigorously prosecuted and the fences must come down. We shall also energet ically prosecute all caaea of fraudulent homestead and land entries. We exect to tart In on other cases at the earliest practicable moment." PRESIDENT'S PLAN LEFT OUT Railway Rate Regulation Not Kn ' dorard by aflonal Hard ware Association. Expression of general prosperity was one of the most notable features of the annual convention of the National Hardware as sociation at Washington Inst week, accord ing to W. 8. Wright, the newly elected president of the association. Mr. Wright returned to Omaha Tuesday morning. "Prosperity has not struck us In one pirt of the country and passed us by In an other," said Mr. Wright- "It has struck us everywhere. There were men at that convention from the Pacific to I lie Kenne bec and from Duliith to St. Augustine, in all 200 accredited delegates, and not one of them but said trade In his district was the best It had ever been. Canada sent her representatives and they told the Siims tale. That 'country Is enjoying a boom never dreamed of.

WARE INSERTS HIS PROBE Attorney does After Connty Board to See that It Is Not tra ragout. Ex. Y In line with what recently appeared In The Bee touching the intention of the Board of County Commissioners, when re organized, to Insist on economy. It now develops that Attorney John D. Ware has been delving Into laws passed by the last legislature with the same end In view. It will be recalled that last snrlna Mr. j Ware tiled with the board a formal protest ngAlnst Uf'nlrowancr'of th"full claim of j the electric light company for service to , the county buildings. At the time the bill j were already held up and when paid It j was at a reduction of something like 31, 000. Mr. Ware's new lead, If he concludes to take action, will be along the line of In- i slating that the board adhere strictly to ! the law in making contracts and paying i bills. Ha takes the position that the board has no right whatever to make a contract of any kind unless the money (s in the treasury to pay for the same. He says that under the law what Is known as the "overlap" (expenses Incurred In one year and running Into the next) cannot be taken care of from the current levy. "For doing business that way," said Mr. Ware, "the county commissioners person ally and their bondsmen are clearly liable, as I understand the law. From what I can learn the Board of County Commissioners has been letting contract and Incurring expenses without much. If any, notion of it k USOHQll $33.00 BUFFALO, N.
