Th South Omaha Jail is In an unsafe condition. The cells are not strong enough and th walls of th cell room can easily be broken through. This condition came near resulting In a jail delivery Saturday morning. Jailer Lowery beard aome mys terious noises about 10 o'olock Saturday morning In the cell room. He peeped through the slit In the door, which la pro vided for th purpose, and saw two negroes In the act of gathering up some rubbish on th floor, which came from n of the asbestos-covered nesting pipes. He went In to Investigate and noticed that th heavy canvas which enclosed the asbestos pack ing around the pipes was missing, and, going to the back of the cell room, he found It by accident plastered against the wall by means of some soft soap which Is used for washing purposes. When he stripped this canvas off the wall ha found a large hole behind It. wnere two or three bricks had been removed. Several others were cut around and ready to be easily pulled out. It I estimated that by mid night the men could have worked their way through th wall and escaped. Their names were George A. Taylor, In jail for petit larceny, and Harry Howard, charged with adultery with Mra. Roxte Williams. Both men were locked In th tight cell. This Incident makes the police mor anx ious than ever to get into the new quar ters In the jail building, which are now nearlng completion. Wanted la Illinois. Frank Zathaca, alias Ed. Hayes, was ar rested last night by the South 'Omaha police and will b held on th charge of grand larceny for the authorities at Sa vannah. 111.

PB0GRESS ALONG PRACTICAL LINE Marked Development of ladaatrlal Edneatlon rkyalral Defects tn School Children Edecit tloaal Mote. The educational system of Greater New Tork Is the most Important as well as the largest department of the city govern ment. A graphic Idea of its vastness, cost and accomplishments Is furnished by sta tistics compiled by the New Tork Times. The school lists show that on May 30 last there were 665,078 registered pupils In the elemental schools. 23,364 In high schools, 1.678 In training schools, and 191 In the truant schools; a total of 589,203. The in crease for this year, the school authorities say, will be at least 30,000 and probably J6.nof. carrying the total enrollment over 00,000. The cost of free education In Chicago Is far tn excess of that tn New Tork. The western city demands about 1700 for each child educated In Its public schools. A re cent report shows that the average coat la 130.24 per capita a year. Each child In th elementary schools costs $27.85, ac cording to this report, and each pupil In the high schools $00.25 per annum, while the normal school course costs $308.63 for each pupil. With a fourteen-year course like that In New Tork, the total cost would be $740 for each child. The last report of School Superintendent Maxwell shows that there are In this city a teacher for every twenty-two pupils In the high schools, for every forty-three In the elementary schools, and for every twenty-eight In the kindergartens, or a general average of thirty-one. In the matter of supplies, .the school problem Is almost incomprehensible In Its vastness. The list of articlea needed every year for the school comprises 20,000 sep arate Items. They range all the way from a needle, a live rat and an earthworm to shiploads of books and writing paper and thousands of gallons of Ink. The city's coal and wood bill for next year will be $501,000, while the supplies de livered on the first day of school, including the coal, are worth $73,000. Nineteen new school buildings were opened last week, and the school board asks $31,000,000 for school sites and new buildings this year. The business of the system last year aggregated $69,000,000. The fund for carriage hire and car fare for school children this year Is $63,000. Teach ers were paid $18,67,000 last year. Edacatlonal Development. In an extended review of educational de velopment the New Tork Tribune observes a distinct tendency along two lines, and says: "High schools and colleges, which must always offer cultural studies, are learning to teach the humanities so as to make them truly humanistic; history is no longer a dreary wilderness of detached dates; foreign langnage have ceased to b foolish schemes of syntax and letters. Eng lish Is being taught , so as to make the student accurate and' fluent In expressing his thoughts. And the duties of citizenship are being made plain at all stages of school life, beginning with the simplest Instruc tion In local pride and patriotism and con tinuing through the study of government up to. the collegiate lectures and discussions on economics, sociology and the philanthro pies. . The other development of practical education Is In the 'direction of training business men, artisans and skilled laborers. Our country today Is .making Its first sure, long strides ' along th long road of indus trial education. Up to a few years ago a host of commercial schools and a small number of manual training schools were the aole representatives of this great branch of teaching; but, stung by the tantalising example of the German Industrial schools and the commercial success their thousands of graduatea have brought the country, American educator! have opened such in stitutions aa the Philadelphia Central High School of Commerce, the' New York High School of Commerce, the commercial de partments of the universities of Pennsyl vania, California, Illinois, Michigan. Ver mont and Wisconsin; the Lowell Textile school, the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, those two remarkably efficient schools for higher Industrial training, the New Tork University School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance and the strictly professional and graduate Tuck school of Dartmouth. It Is the ambition of the founders of these schools to offer eventually Instruction In every Important profession, trade, craft and line of enterprise, and If past achievements and the present temper of - the people toward education give any clue this ambi tion will ere long be realized tn large measure. And who will venture to prophesy what revolutions In American foreign trade will be wrought after we have trained an army of experts to make the most of the country'a limitless natural resources and advantages? If poverty stricken, over populated Germany, by the aid of its indus trial schools, can push us hard tn competi tion, what unheard-of wonders shall we one day work In the world's market places with a million or more graduates of business colleges and trade schools, all trained In Business Pleasure Or anything that excites and ex hausts the brain nerves, causes headache. Some persons cannot even at tend church, theaters, ride on cars, or on the water, or go where there is the least excitement without an attack. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills taken as directed will stop the pain. To avoid suf fering take one as soon as you feel an attack coming on. Tour druggist can tell you of many who would not be without them. "I have been troubled with severe head aches for many years. I began to use Dr. Miles' Antl-Paln Pi Us. It Is th only remedy that ha given me or my family any relief.

Some startling figures have been given out tn New Tork as th result of th physical examination of 1.400 school children of that city. These 1,400 pupils were first reported by the Board of Health physicians as suffer ing from physical defects. The principal ailments were malnutrition, enlarged glands snd defective breathing. Making the sup position that the percentage of sufferers holds good for all the schools of the city, It Is said that there are 4t3.000 children who have some one of the troubles mentioned Assuming that the same conditions exist In other large cities and throughout the country generally, 12,000.000 children make up a mighty army needing the physician's care. "Such estimates have little value except to attract attention," comments the Chicago Tribune. "Conditions vary so much In dif ferent places that no laws can be laid down as constant In their operation. But there Is little doubt that many children In the schools need physical examination In order that defects may be treated during the days of youth. How much of this work should be done In the home and how much by the school authorities Is the question which It fa difficult to decide." Baslneae Education. Business education In Nebraska la mi. branch of our great educational system, the vaiua or which Is not always understood. There are larre numbers of attending the private commercial schools In mis state, and upon careful Investigation, It uas Deen round that thev are dnlns- woll In the work, and the graduates are successful in noiaing the positions they secure. The Instruction In these schools Is all of the positive character. The students must mas ter the work In hand and become strong enough to do the work successfully In the business world after leaving school. One of the promising htialnoaa .HiiK.in,. of the west is G. W. Brown, Jr.. of Lincoln. vnue is-eoraska Is his native state, he se cured his education in Illinois. inH associated with his uncle in that state for eleven years, winning marked success as a commercial teacher. Later he ODenetf a arhrinl tVi Kim.i i Sioux City, la., which he operated for six j ears very successfully, but sold the school and located In Lincoln, considering i.inin a much better location. Mr. Brown Is ably assisted by his wife, who is a shorthanA teacher of national rep utation. She Is cdnsldrreri nn. rf th. skillful Instructors of shorthand and type- miLing in America. These progressive teachers are now enter ing upon their twentieth year In teaching commercial branches. Their new school in Llnooln is widely known for thorough In struction and conservative methods. Their faculty is composed of strong teachers, who take a special Interest in the moral and social welfare of the young people. The enrollment for their fhirH .-,., opening Is more than double that of the last year ai me same time. There are now ISO bright, ambitious students in .n.-, and the prospects are promising for a dally ...luunce or zoo during the busy season. Prof. 8. L. Caldwell, who has taught drawing and penmanship in the State Nor mal at Peru for six years. Is now with this VtJIlUUl. Telegraphy a a Trade. A recent nnmhpr rt r ., m . . . .. lUUlHUjr Agfl contained the following: "Mr. H. R. Nlck erson has resigned as vice president of the Mexican Central. He was connected lno Aicnison. Topeka & Santa Fe up to 1894, successively as telegraph operator, station agent, conductor, train dispatcher, trainmaster, division superin tendent and general superintendent, re signing the last named position to become assistant general manager of the Mexican Central. From December, 1894, to De cember, 1903, he was general manager of the latter road and In Klv its. chosen vice president also." Telegraphy offers any ambitious young man or young woman an Immediate po sition which pays a handsome salary It assures permanent employment, Inasmuch as the growth of the railroads of tho country Is such and the need for new railroads is so great that every railroad In the entire country will have need of the services of all the young men and young women who qualify as tolegraphers for the next five years to come and still clamor for more. And as Mr. Wil liam A. Gardner, vice president of the Chicago Si Northwestern railroad, says: "Superintendents aro constantly on the outlook for operators who show alert ness, coolness and application to their duties. Such operators are advanced speedily to the train dispatcher' office as vacancies occur." Five to ten years ago telegraph oper ators were plentiful and commanded com paratively small wages, but today the railroads are scouring the country for young men, and hold out most alluring Inducements. Under the new eight-hour law on railroada. which goes Into effect next March, railroads will be required to employ 15,000 additional operators and commercial companies about J, 000. They offer $60 to $80 to young men just start ing out If they have learned the business. This they can do In four months' time at such an Institution as the National Telegraph Institute at Cincinnati, O., and on a total investment of less than $100 forfait expenues. Edaeatlenal Note. x Nineteen new school buildings,' having VAti sittings, were opened in New York City at the beginning of the school year. Chicago will open Its night schools' No vember 1, two months earlier than usual. Twenty-eight elementary and nine high schools will be used, giving employment to 2411 teachers. Prof. Carl C. Lorentten of the University of New York hss arrived at Copenhagen with the object of furthering a scheme for an exchange of prolessors between Danish and American universities similar to that in vogue between Germany and the United States. Dr. J. P. Lennox, professor of modern literature in the 'Koval university of Ire land, has received the appointment of pro fessor of English literature in the Catholic university at Washington, to succeed Dr. Maurice F. Ek'an, recently made American minister to Denmark. Prof. Fx R.
