After o.wrnl wln of controversy the ounty bnnnl has . onie to an understand ing with I'nunty Troasurpr Fink on the question of j'Tpparing lints of delinquent taxes from tlie year lf.'.D to the present. In the iat the law requiring; that an c rM 1 l "pt with the treasurer by the ccjjntjr clerk has lucn ignored and the board Is desirous of beginning the account with the close of the present term. In order to begin It will be necessary to have a list of all the delinquent taxes since the organization of the county. When the board called nil Treasurer Fink for a report containing this Informa tion he declined to make it, declaring be could not with his present clerical force. At the meeting Saturday Mr. Fink aod Comralaaloi er Vre clashed with consider able loud talk and pounding of the table on both sides. Finally after half an hour had been consumed In a heated debate they derided there was no difference of opinion between them and they shook hands with good grace. The board decided td furnish the required number of clerks to do the work. l"r Bark License in Vala. The board, over the objection! of Vre, voted to grant a saloon license to Jamea Bausrs, who for some time has been run ning Without a county license. Twenty one residents of East Omaha protested against licensing the place on the ground Eauera bad violated the law by running without a permit and liaif kept open on Sunday. Evidence was furnished to show that liquor had been sold In the place on Sunday. T. W. Ulackbum, attorney for Bauers, put up the plea Sauers could not be held responsible for what occurred at the saloon because he did not have the license. Kornard, S.ilomon, Brunlng and Vrainor voted In favor of granting the license, while l're voted against It. The application of James Cuthlll was withdrawn. The board let several road grading con tracts, but rejected all bills on the Shep herd road. AVhen the bids were advertised for It was the intention to do only 10,000 cubic yards of grading on this road. Since then the board has decided to make It 25,000 ruble yards. It was decided to call for new bids on the larger amount. A resolution by Kernard calling on elec trical houses to furnish plana for the illum ination of the court house during A k -Bar-Hen week, the cont not to exceed $200, was passed by the board.

TEACHERS PLAN THEIR WORK Flva II a ad red Wsiira Instructors Meet at tlty Hall to Talk M109. Over 6O0 school ma'ams, who Monday will begin a united reign over Omaha youth, gathered Saturday morning In the assembly room In the city hall for the an nual general meeting which always p re reeds the opening of school. Between 8 and 9 o'clock the corridors of the city hall wer crowded with teachers, and It took the elevators over an hour to land them all safely on the fifth floor. Superintendent Davidson addressed the teachers on the progress of manual train ing work In the Omaha schools. He de clared the purpose of the department Is to combine the salient festures of a number of different manual training systems and develop in the pupils skill, utility and aesthetic sense. He also explained the division of the work under the four ad ditional teachers attached to this branch of instruction. "The one word which we want to write In plain sight this year," he said. "m 'prog ress. Improvement.' It will b the watch word of the year." Superintendent Davidson wss loudly ap plauded at the close of his remarks. BAR DELEGATES GET HOME Predict Good Results In Remedial Legislation from Meeting; St Portland. Several Nebraska delegates to the meet ing of the American Bar association at Portland. Me., have returned. They are: Ralph W. Breckenridge, John L. Webster, W. F. Gurley. C. L. Dundey, F. A. Brogan, V. II. Matters, W. D. McHugh and J. A. C. Kennedy. These delegates have not re turned: General Manderson of Qmaha, George D. Ayres, Ernest B. Conant, George P. Costlgan, Jr., W. G. Hastings and Frank M. Hall of Lincoln. Ralph W. Breckenridge, chairman of the committee on Insurance, says: "The committee on Insurance does not wish to forecast any future action on even tho four accepted propositions, nor would It be prudent to do so until the new com mittees are appointed by the new national officers." The Omaha delegates are profuse In their expressions of the success of the session and are of the opinion that much good will come of It In remedial legislation along all lines of public policy and economics. HORSES AND CHURCH CLASH Show Interferes with Convention of the Christiana at the Auditorium. When will the state convention of Chris tian churches be held? Although it has been set for October 11, 12 and 13 and the churches of Nebraska have been Invited to meet In Omaha on those days, the members of the entertaln nfent committee are j"up In the air." Through a misunderstanding with the Au ditorium authorities, they set their con vention Just before the Horse Show, which begins October 14. As it requires a week to prepare the building for the show, the church people cannot have the building unless the Horse Show exhibitors allow them to have the tan bark arena for the three days Just prior to the show, which Isn't likely. The Horse Show managers have a con tract with the Auditorium and the church hasn't. It seems likely that the church will find It necessary to set Its dates for ward to October 4, 6 and C. About 6,000 people are expected. HILL LINE REACHES KIRBY Bnrllnartoo Extension Into Wyomlnajr Regarded as Feeder for BlgT Horn Basin. i The pew Burlington extension into Wyo ming has reached Klrby and the Gebo mines and speculation Is now rife as to how much farther the line will be built. It is the general opinion this line Is simply a feeder reaching out to Join the line at the south at Guernsey and thus make a direct connection between the south and the Big Horn Basin country and at the same time furnish a second track to connect the main systems of the Burlington In Nebraska with the Northern Paciflo in Montana. This line has come to be almost a necessity be cause of the enormous business which is exchanged between the two Hill lines at Billings and which at times is so heavy is to virtually block the road. POLICE SERVICE IMPROVED Weeding; Ont Frocesa Eliminates In competent Men, says Chief Donahna. "Since March 1. the Board of Eire and Police Commissioners has appointed quite a number of new policemen," said Chief Donahue, "and yet at present the total In crease of patrolmen since that date Is only four. That la partly, on account of resignations, but largely on account of dis missals from the. service. The dismissals have not been confined to the newly ap pointed men, but there has been a weeding out of Incompetents along the line. The result Is that while the total Increase In numbers Is small, standards have been raised and the general efficiency of the department has been Increased materially."

Learned, who has been asked by the republican candidates to act as chairman of the county committee during the coming campaign, will accept. He was waited on Saturday afternoon by a committee of the candidates consisting of Robert Smith, E. G. Solomon and Frank Furay and to them he indicated his will ingness to serve. "I appreciate the honor," he said, "and will accept the responsibility of heading the committee.

An Omaha architect has made a computa tion of the porch room provided In plans which he has drawn up for clients during a certain month this year compared with the same month two years ago. He finds that the porch space provided is more than two times as great In proportion now as It was at that time. "People are going In for lots of outdoor open air space," he says. "That 1 the distinctive trend of architecture In this part of the world, In my opinion. We are getting back to nature, and the people are taking an extremely sensible and practical view of building homes. The porches are wide and extensive and In some houses they have built them on the second story, open ing out by a deep window from a bedroom. These are to be used by the owners and their families or such members of the family as like plenty of fresh air for sleep ing quarters. "I am working on plans for a client now which are rather original. He la going to build what he calls a "verandah house. It might as well be called a "house verandah,' for there Is about as much of the one as the other. It is to be built In the bungalo style; that Is. all on one floor. There are to be three sleeping rooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and parlor. On one side of the house Is a verandah lfix30 feet in size, and all around the rest of the house runs a porch six feet wide, which my client calls a "promenade." He says he Intends to take a five-mile walk every evening around his house, and he won't be hindered by rain, snow, sleet or any other vicissitude of the weather. It Is a very good idea for a house I think and Indicates in a some what exaggerated degree the trend of build ing: today." Illustrative of the aaylng that "simple things are most beautiful" Is the modern colonial style house built of plain red brick. with ordinary every-day white mortar. There are several of these In Omaha. One at Twenty-second and St. Mary's avenue Il lustrates what can be done with these sim ple materials by adding to them the third inn-eriient of irood taste. The roomy house there Is two stories high, with gable roof and porte cochere. all built or tne one. The window panes are small, about six KoI.kt iikmI to each window. The colonial effect Is further heightened by several other The Modern German Decorative Style Thomas H. Norton, writing from Chem nlU, says that all trades dependent more or less udou gratifying the demands of taste and the esthetic sense are liable to fluctuations following the gradual altera tions In general standards of art and the more variable whims and caprices of fash Ion. He furnishes these German examples: The alove trade of this section is an ex ample of the latter class. The recent fash Ion of short sleeves In woman's attire has led to a hitherto unexampled world-wide demand for long gloves of all materials and designs. This Involves more work In the preparation of the Individual glove, and manufacturers have been forced to Increase the number of their machines, to enlarge the staff of operatives and to Issue greater fnr raw material. Should the pop ularity of the short sleeve cease It would mean, here In Saxony, a nost oi cosuy machines lying Idle and a multitude of workmen without employment. Such a condition is now being faced by ..Aih nf the distinctively Saxon Indus tries, that engaged in manufacturing the minor accessories of the upnoisterer ana hn.,u. decorator, and several closely con nected trades, wood carving and turning, plaster decoration, etc., are likewise suffer ing from the same cause. A very maraea change in the general character of Interior decoration has occurred during tne lasi few vears in Germany. The present school of architects, painters, decorators and de signers Is aiming at artistic effects m wnicn simplicity is the dominant note. The cur rent "Jugendstll" seeks Its results mrougn .vmmetrv and grace of outline and broad. even surfaces wltff effective chromatic har- mnnUi. but discards the mass of minor ac cessories and the elaborate detail which ,. - hitherto characterised the treatment of a German Interior and the art of the upholsterer. This change was strongly pronounceu vear in the exhibits of furniture and decorative designs at the industrial ex positions held at Nurnberg. Zwickau, and .v... Mints and especially at the exposi tion of German industrial art in Dresden. a h latter there were exhibits of over 109 completely furnished rooms. No where were fringes, tassels, galloons, or the like visible. Woodwork waa almost Invariably smooth and but rarely toucnea by ths carver's tools. fh .h.nce in nubile taste is so mamec. that it has seriously affected several well- established Saxon Industries, so seriounly that the government has felt compelled Stoves and By C. M. Eaton. Our illustration shiws the kind ot o fur nace used in Egypt. This is the kind of a furnace that the Bible tells about In Daniel ill when It gives the account of Ehadrach, Mrslmch and Abednego being cast into the furnace and heated seven times hotter than usual. You -see they had a perfect system of measuring heat units even then, other wise they would not know that the heat was seven times greater than usual. The l.rst mention of furnaces in the Bible la found in Deutronomy Iv, , and reads: But the Lord hath taken you and brought you forth out of the Iron furnace, even out of E'pl." The Bible makes frequent men tion cf ovens. It Is true that our ovens, stoves and furnaces are a most wonderful improvement over those Ufced by the an cients. Vour.g housewives moving into a new home frequently complain that the oven does not work like mother's, and there is the very best of reasons for It. A new houae with a green chimney never works well for the first few months. This and the vcr' shghu experience of the new house keeper makes housekeeping somewhat hard for the youtig housekeeper.

A brick wall topped by an iron fence surrounds the yard. Omaha architects report that there Is a demand for plans for garages. These come particularly from the suhurbsn or country dwellers, who are too far from the public garages and who depend on their machines In getting to and from the city. A garage (or "motor house," as the building Is more generally called In the east and England) can be built with a small expenditure and In such a manner as to be a real orna ment to the grounds on which It stands. The style should be mnde to conform to that of the other buildings. One of the prettiest designs shown by architects Is the half timber style. This Is made with structural timbers, the Interstices being filled with brick. Other designs show mo tor houses made of concrete, of brick, of frame and of frame and shingle combined. The main thing to be desired In the motor house Is an even temperature, to prevent damage to metal and leather parts and to paint. A cement floor is best In the house, and a pit for repairing the motor may be added If the motor Is one of the type which cannot be repaired from the top. "Now Is the season of their discontent," said Secretary C. M. Eaton of the Omaha Stove Repair works. He referred to the householders of Omaha who have let the summer pass without seeing that their heating plants were In good order. "Most people are like the grasshoppers that danced all summer and In the fall came to the a wis with their tale of sorrow. We act the part of the ants In this case and we are glad to do it because it Is our busi ness. The rush is on now and will con tinue until the winter Is well advanced." The number of apartment houses and flats being erected In Omaha Is a barome ter of the rise of property and rental value In the city and an indication of tho sure swing toward metropolitanlRm. As long as a city is small and property cheap It does not pay to erect flats. But when values go up, when cheap lots become farther and farther from the city, the demand arises for the flat and the apart ment house. A great many of them are being built In various parts of the city and they are being rented before the walls a a up. The tenants move In before the plasterers are out and take possession In a manner that shows the scarcity of such houses In comparison with the demand. The style of the houses, too, Is to be commended. They are not the hideous things absolutely devoid of architectural beauty which disfigure and make monoto nous miles and miles of the streets of such cities as Philadelphia. The Omaha apartment houses have plots of green grass and flower beds to relieve them In In front, with porcnes both In front and I to carefully consider the situation and ascertain whether any measures can be taken to relieve the stagnation In tho group of trades directly Involved. The minister of the Interior recently called upon the Chemnlti chamber of Industry for a full report upon the matter, with recommendatio ia. (Chemnlts, like other German cities, has In addition to Its chamber of commerce also a chamber of Industry Gewerbe-Kammer directly rep resenting. In the productive Industries, both labor and capital.) The chamber has Just communicated its report to the minister. The following is a summary of Its 'conclusions: In regard to such upholsterer's acces sories as are produced by a branch of the so-called passementerie manufacture, there Is no question on the part of the trade but that the tendency of modern art la completely opposed to the further utiliza tion of their creation. This Is strongly marked In .the costlier forms of furniture, less so In the cheaper forms. The chief cause is the demand for smooth, even surfaces. In harmony with the prevailing canons of taste. In the category of less expensive furniture the unwillingness to pay present prices for trimmings of good quality has limited the use to some extent. Upholsterers complains that heavy fringes, tassels, and similar accessories, which formerly gave them such remu nerative employment, now are completely banished or are replaced by modest, inex pensive edgings. I'ntil recently they were frequently called upon to undertake com plicated designs of folded stuffs In the Interior decorations or rooms which In volved preliminary sketches and a high grade of artistic ability In the execution of the plans. The present style of decora tion calls for simple materials, free from folds, with a limited amount of embroid ery, which are found ready-made In stores and Involve no special ability In arranging. Plaster decorators and wood carvers and turners state that their trades have all suffered seriously from the prevalent fashion tor smooth surfaces on furniture and In decorative architectural features. The chamber has appointed a special commission of experts to study the case, and the opinions of the members of this commission are worthy of note. One member, an architect and professor in the technical college, , declared that from the hygienic standpoint he was strongly opposed to any return to former styles and in favor of extreme simplicity In all Furnaces for Your select a standard make. Samples .are dan gerous. You can buy a sample hat, coat or dress, for when It goes out of fashion they can be given to the poor, but your stove, range or furnace ought to last a lifetime, and if new parts are needed the standard make can always be bad. The most deceptive article In the world la the so-called aheet steel. It is made In all thicknesses from No. SO, which ia about aa thick as the paper you are reading, while No, I Is bailor plate, used la large paoa- i mm in ! II i behind and enough of a back yard so the tenants don't need to hang things out on the roof to dry or to "air." These build ings are an ornament to Omaha, a con venience to those who want to live "close In," and certainly a profitable Investment to their builders." "There Is a great decorative value In vines," said an Omaha gardener. "I don't know why more of them are not used In Omaha. We have the climate here to make them thrive and they Improve the appearance of any house, no matter how handsome or how humble It Is. "Tne best vines for walls are clematis and dutchman's pipe. They grow rapidly and the clematis bears flowers which have great beauty and plenty of fragrance. On a north wall the English Ivy Is good. It does not thrive where the hot sun will strike it and make the wall hot. That seems to shrivel the tendrils by which It holds on. "Such vines sre also excellent for en closing porches. The clematis Is quite suitable for this purpose. The crimson rambler Is an excellent variety of rose to plant around porches. Honeysuckles, of course, every one knows about. The Idea that these vines 'draw mosquitoes' or 'make walls damp' Is erroneous. They protect walls from rain. Their leaves are so arranged that after a rain the walls will be found perfectly dry. The heat of the sun, on the other hand, goes through the leaves and Instills the proper amount of warmth to take away any dampness which may come from the atmosphere." A very pretty effect has been produced on several Omaha houses by building the second story of plain cement and painting It In some pretty tint. A light green used on one home looks beautiful and Is restful to the eye and senses. Special paints are sold for painting cement walls. The present high prices of all hsrdwood flooring are suggesting the use of the In laid or "parquetry" floors, which cost but a trifle more and are much more beautiful. Anticipating the demand In this line, Mr. F. M. Hamllng has Induced an expert floor layer from the east to locate here, and he will be ready to do business at once. See the advertisement of the Par quetry Floor company In this Issue. The newcomer, Mr. B. F. Bohren, as sures us that there Is no practical objec tion to these handsome floors except the high prices which have been demanded heretofore and which he will materially reduce. John O'Connell has Just placed an order with the John Hussle Hardware company for the Installation of furnaces In three houses at Forty-second ana Davenport. Mr. A. Seastedt has contracted with the Hussle Hardware company for a hot-air plant for his building at Thirtieth and Cass streets. furnishings. The older styles were dust collectors and breeding places for disease germs. - Another member, the president of the Industrial Art society, emphasised the fact that the modern decoration methods meant more light and a free movement of air In the home than was formerly the case. Further, the new movement had lifted German decorative art from a con dition of stagnation. In which It waa un dergoing dry rot, and It was now able to meet competition In the world'a markets. It was to be regretted that It Involved temporary ls tor a group of trades, but the future development would soon offer work for the operatives now so seriously affected. The commission felt that the passemen terie manufacture waa not so badly In jured as were other branches. Its chief field la in the production of articles for use In dressmaking, and Its artists should de vote themselves to preparing designs which harmonise with the prevalent taste In fur nishings, and thus create a demand for suitable products of the Industry. The commission was, however, unani mously of the opinion that the tendency toward simplicity waa being overdone and was In danger of becoming a fad rather than a genuine, healthy, artistic develop ment. Symptoms of the reaction are al ready visible. The older patterns are now favored in the orders given for the choicer grades of silk stuffs employed In uphol stery. There Is a lessening In the demand for perfectly smooth and even articles of furniture. Projects for Intervention on the part of the government, by offering prises for de signs In harmony with the older fashions, and by Influencing the courses of Instruc tion In the schools of industrial art, were rejected as unwise and useless. It waa re garded as entirely outside the province of an administration to attempt to stem or guide movements which concern exclusively questions of public taste and fashion and to Intrude Into the domain of, esthetics. This recommendation will undoubtedly be followed by tho Saxon government. In the present state of unexampled pros perity In most of the Industries of Saxony, especially In the textile branches, the classes of workmen affected by these changes will easily find occupation. At present, however, they are inclined to treat the apostles of "the simple life" with scant courtesy. Woodcraft. New Home ger engines on all of the prominent rail roads. Prices will nearly always Indicate the quality of goods. If a steel range is of fered to you for H9 W. you are buying trouble, not a steel range. A good steel range of heavy, durable material cannot be had for less than H0 to bo. but It will last a lifetime. A gas range Is the very same thing. Do not buy one because it Is cheap.. Weight of material is the most Im portant factor. Your furnace ahould be selected with equal care. Don't take the first one you look at. The market la full of good furnaces and it is overflowing with poor ones. They all work well for two or three years, then comes your trouble and expense. Select three prominent furnace men; get their ideas of what they have to offer; tell them you want a furnace for your own personal use; durability, economy and ease with which repairs can be made should be Insisted upon. Do not buy a fur nace upon the competition plan. It you do you will be dissatisfied and probably get altogether a different Job from what you expected. Get prices from two or three and then select your furnace, considering Uatat, quality and Individual merits of each furnace, but always buy one slse larger than what Is usually recommended by the dealer. Every furnace man would be hon est if you would let Mm. You make them dishonest by trying to get them to do some thing for a less price than they caa legiti mately do Uio work .or. . U1 v. -: .
