Sewers t All Schools.
The members of the Board of Education
are rejoicing at the fact that the proposed
sewer system will be built so as to accom
modate all the school buildings In Mouth
Omaha except one and that Is the Lowell
school. In one or two cases the connection
will be three or four blocks, but It will
gladly be done. Few people realise what
a great task It Is to have the correct sani
tation with no sewer facilities under the
crowded conditions of many of the school.
Four of them are Still using outside closets,
from which many evils, both sanitary and
disciplinary, result. The new sewer also
will accommodate the new site recently
purchased at Sixteenth and It streets.
There has no pew name been adopted for
the school which Is to be erected In the
autumn at this point, and some of the
members of the board suggested that some
of the patrons In that district should be
ble to recommend a suitable term by
which It should be known.
Republican flab Mass Meeting.
The mass meeting of all the republican
clubs held last right at the Commonwealth

full crowd In the hall during the whole

chairman and C. E. Fay secretary. The
presidents of the various clubs were asked
to speak and all readily responded with
words of encouragement for the success of
the party In South Omaha. After them
many of the candidates of the party and a
number of the councllmc n and others made
brief addresses and kept thefloor rumbling
with the enthusiastic stamping of feet.
The Kosciusko Republican club extended
a formal Invitation to all the other clubs to
meet with It next Friday evening In an
other mass meeting at the Paproskl hall at
Twenty-seventh and J streets. This the
assembly unanimously accepted and a rous

Carnival of All Nations.
The carnival of nations given by the
Young Men's Christian association last
nigh', was attended by about 2D0 of the
young people of the city. Of these about
one-third was In costumes. There was a
brief program, all musical, consisting of a
piano solo by Miss Beulah Davis, which
waa generously applauded, and a really
flrst-class performance on the violin by
Master Hiram Scovllle, accompanied on
the piano by his young brother. An Im
provised quartet of black face comedians
sang a number of southern songs and did
Its best to liven things up. The crowd did
not get warmed up until rather late In the
evening, and then the two booths came In
for a fair share of business. All together
the evening was a pleasant and a profit
able one to all concerned.

The trouMes existing within the ranks
of the Women's Mission circle of the
Mount Moriah Buptist church of Twelfth

Tuesday mornlnR before the people's bar,
where Mrs Reliecca Strowther of 35 Wirt
street swoe to n complaint of assault and
battery ntralnst Mis. Rebecca Lewis of
Seventeenth and Cuming street. Both par
ties In the case are colored. A warrant
was IsHucd for Mrs. lwis.
According to Mrs, Ptrowthcr's story, she
was assaulted Sunday evening by Mrs.
Lewis after the regular evening service
at tho Mount Moriah church. Mrs. Lewis
was president of the Women's Mission
circle until last week, when Mts. Strowther
wss elected to that office.
While walking from the church Sunday
evening, Mrs. Strowther alleges, her offi
cial predecessor moved her right list In
such a manner as to cauee an ugly abra
sion on the complainant's left eye. The
case will be heard In police court at a
later date.
The abiding faith of a mother In her two
sons and the anxiety of a small boy to
tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth were strongly brought out In
a case heard Tuesday morning In police
court.
Tom and John Donlon of Kill Pinkney
street were charged with disturbing the
peace by flghttyig and assaulting James
Lyons of 8412 Maple street. When the evi
dence brought out that the Donlons had
cut Lyons with a knife the police Judge
sentenced the prisoners thirty days each.
Mrs. Donlon watched the proceedings
from a rear seat and cried pitifully when
her boya were sentenced.
"They are tho best boys In the atate,"
the mother said, between her tears.
Although her son Tom tried to burn her
house dowrt a month ago, when she wss
rescued by neighbors, and notwithstanding
the other boy was going to strike her with
an axe on another occasion, she appeared
willing to forgive them ten thousand times
ten thousand.
The boy In the case was Fred Ross, a
witness to the assault. Master Ross was
told to tell his story, so he began at the
beginning of things by telling how he and
two companions got their sleds, what kind
of sleds they were, where they slid down
hill, how long their mothers allowed them
to stay out sliding, the condition of the
sliding, the length of the slide. The
hoy at length got down to the case on
trlii! and told what he knew of that.
Lew Fields, the man who recently tried
to steal one .of the Harriman railroads.
was caught In the act and sentenced by the
police judge. Is back In Jail again. Fields
Is now charged with stealing a wagon
from John Belts. The prisoner will be
arraigned before the bar popull Wednesday
morning.
Fields Is the most unique thief In the
city. He goes out for large game. Christ
mas he was charged with stealing a forty-
pound dressed pig from in front of a St.
Mary's avenue store. Several weeks ago
he was caught with a team and wagon
loading railroad rails Into the vehicle.
Now he has the theft of a large wasron
against bis name: If Fields Is at large
again tho police think they will place a
guard over the Douglas street bridge, as
they have learned Fields told a friend he
wanted a bridge to play with.
James Connors of the Windsor hotel
would have been talking yet had the po
lice judge given him any encouragement.
Connors talked Tuesday morning until the
police court room was filled with parts of
speech and punctuation marks. The man
was arraigned on the charge of vagrancy,
discharged by the police: Judge and rear
rested by Detectives Ferris and Dunn as
he was leaving the city Jail. The - de
tectives wanted to Investigate Connor's
record. He la now held as a suspicious
character.
It was charged against the prisoner that
he has been trying doors at the Windsor
hotel at all hours of the night. Con
nors claimed other guests ut the hotel
were using his clothes and that he was
only trying to locate hla garments at
1:26 In the morning when arrested by Pa

1 A partial tabulation of the l.:ds on drugs
submitted to the county commissioners, has
been made to determine which of the four
bidders Is lowest. The results so far se
cured are only on the Individual Items
and they show the Myers-Dillon Drug Co. to
be lowest on the largest number of items.
These are the figures showing the numbev
of items each bidder Is lowest oft and
the numlier on which he Is tied Willi some
other bidder: Sherman : McConnell, low

low on 56, tied on .. Before the board
meets Suturduy another tabulation will be
made to show the amount of the total of
each bid on the basis of the amount of
each Item used last year.- These are the
figures on prescriptions: Kherman A Mc
Connell, 19 cents; Myers-Dillon Drug com
pany, cents; E. T. Yates, 1S'4 cents.
Beaton Drug company,- 19 cents. Mr. Yates,
who had the contract last year, took It
at 13V cents. In the bids which were not
accepted by the board he bid 144 cents.
For extra supplies, not included In the
specifications Sherman McConnell and
Myers-Dillon Drug company tbld S per cent
less than the wholesale price. The other
bidders bid 3 and 20 per cent above whole
sale prices respectively.-
For furnishing cement and sewer pipe
Sunderland Brothers appear to be the
lowest, their figures on sewer pine being
about 10 per cpnt higher than last year's
contract price but slightly lower than the
bids which were rejected. The Omaha Hay
and Building Supply company appear to
be lowest on sand, and C. W. Hull & Co.
on brick.
Commissioner Solomon haa found another
Item of printing In which the county has
made a substantial saving under the new
contract. An order of 5,00t deed blanks

CHALLENGE LIKELY TO BE ACCEPTED
Senate Intends Rate Resolatlen
that Kverybody Concerned Is Kn

by Decisive Tnte.
I From a S'aff Correspondent.)
1M-:S MOIXKS. Feb. 30. -t Special. )
I Charging that the statement of Governor
Cummins In his formal announcement of
his candidacy for a third term In this
morning's palters that the railroads are
"exerting every Influence that money and
organisation can create to defeat the prl
nutrv bill" l a direct reflection on the
members of the legislature. Senator Shirley
O'llllanU of MIMk county today Introduced a
concurrent resolution calling on the gov
ernor to furnish the legislature specific
facts bearing on the assertions. The reso
lution went over till tomorrow under the
rules of the senate. After the resolution
was Introduced Senators Msytag, Garat,
irf-wls. Smith of Mitchell and Hughes, five
of the strongest Cuminlns men in the
senute, were seen and each In a general
way endorsed the resolution and talked
favorably to passing it. This attitude as
sumed by the Cummins people, when It was
supposed by Gllliland that they would op
pc se It, hns complicated the situation. The
Cummins people talk of amending the reso
lution so as to hsve testimony taken under
oath before a committee of the house nr-.d
senate. The Cummins people declare they
will "call the bluff'' of the standpatters.
Two of them asserted today to The Bee
r-'pre'entntl-e that If the governor didn't
have sufficient facts to present they had
enough themselves to bear out every as
sertion of the governor in his statement.
The Glllllnnd resolution Is as follows:
Gllllland'a Resolution.
Whereas, Governor Cummins In the ad
dress to the "republicans of Iowa." issued
in this morning's papers, makes the alarm
ing statement that the railroad corpora
tions are "exerting every ounce of strength
which money snd organization can create
to defeat the primary election bill": that
"they are hunting It to Its death with a
persistency and vlndlctlveneas I have never
seen surpassed": that "these masters of
tntrlgue who are now endeavoring, to
thwart the will of an overwhelming pro
portion of the voters of Iowa and (for this
purpose) are spending the winter In Des
Moines," and
Whereas.. The gravity of this charge -Is
such as that, If believed by the people, It
will seriously reflect on all legislators op
posed to a state-wide plurality primary, no
matter how conscientious their opposition
may be, and will lead the people to believe
that all such are being Influenced In their
action by the "exertion of every ounce of
strength which money . and organisation
can create"; now therefore be It
Resolved, by the senate, the house con
curring. Tliat In fairness to the members
of the legislature, and that only those (If
thei'M be any) who are really culpable may
be pointed out, the governor lx? asked to
communicate in writing to the legislature
such specific facts (as distinguished from
mere assertion) as to
1. How money Is being used by the rail
roads to defeat the primary bill.
2. What legislators. If any, have been the
recipients of this money.
3. Who are the "masters of intrigue thst
are spending the winter In Des Moines"
and where are they located.
Everybody la Endorsed.
After continuing for an hour the debate
of yesterday on the Weeks resolution to
memorialize congress In favor of adequate
rate legislation, the senate this morning
killed both the Jamleson amendment to give
credit In the matter to Dolllver and Hep
burn and the Smith of Mitchell amend
ment endorsing only the Ideas of Roosu-
velt on the question and then passed A
substitute by Courtrlghf thanking (lie Iowa
delegation In Washington for Its efforts
and assuring them of the appreciation of
the Iowa people. of their efforts to secure
"in effective measure, giving to the Inter
state Commerce commission power to fix.
establish and enforce reasonable Interstate
freight rates and charges, as demanded by
the president." - v
The debate was a1 rapid fire one from the
opening to Its close. The question wus
brought up by Senator Jamleson, who read
a telegram from Hepburn received this
morning stating that his bill had the en
dorsement of President Roosevelt. Sena
tor Jamleson produced' the bill Itself and
made a strong effort to defend Hepburn
and secure the credit of the legislation to
him. Saunders of Pottawattamie took the
floor long enough to say that ha waa op
posed to endorsing any particular bill
which might be changed for better or worse
before the senate resolution was passed
and printed. He read from a dispatch In
a morning paper that the president la con
ferring with advisors as to making changes
In the Hepburn bill. Crosslet ' tried to
amend by endorsing the "recommendations
of President Roosevelt as set for'h In the
bill commonly known as the Dollfver-Hep-burn
bill." There were claims that there
waa no such bill as the "Dolllver-Hepburn
bill," and then Senator Lyons, a demo
crat. got the floor. He aald there would
be time at the republican convention this
fall to discuss party matters; that he wus
opposed to taking valuable time of the
senate longer and moved the previous ques
tion. Roll calls were had on each vote,
which were all largely factional till the
Courtrlght substitute was reached. The
Crosslet amendment waa defeated, 21 to
the Jamleson amendment giving credit
to the president only, defeated, 22 to 24;
the Jamleson amendment giving credit
only to Dolllver and Hepburn, defeated
17 to 28, and the Courtrlght substitute
passed, 31 to 14.
