cupied a back room, responsible for a fire
which occurred there August 10, and have
begun suits In district court against him

who operated a pool hall In the building.
He says he was damaged to the amount of
$1,972.40. Frank B. Koder, who ran a cigar
ami confectionery store In the same room,
in his petition says his property was in
jured to the amount of l,4tiM7. According
to the petition Brlggs' kept a large tank

tank Ignited, resulting in the fire which
spread to the other rooms.
AMERICAN bit APES BEST.
Vines Cultivated for "Cooks Imperial"
Proven Best for Cbampaame.
American wine growers have been maV
ing strenuous efforts to outclass the for
eigners In the production of fine grape
and as ubuuI, American skill has won.
Tills Is notably evidenced In the prefer
ence of Cook's Imperial Champagne oi-er
all other brands. The grapes from wjlch
this sparkling Champagne is made lave
been cultivated In the same vineyards' for
fifty years, during which time the soil
has been so carefully nurtured that, the
vines now yield fine luscious grapes of ex
ceptionally rare quality and flavor.
Connoisseurs claim that the delicate
bouquet and delicious flavor of Cosks Im
perial Champagne Is due to the extraordi
nary fine quality of the grapes used and
the enormous sale of this celebrated. Ameri
can wine during the past year srems to
beur this out. Of course there are, no ship
freight charges or Import duties t be paid
on this Champagne, and the discriminating
American has been slow to ralianle for
eign brands and thus pay exorbitant
charges for Champagne of leasmerlt.

OMAHA, DeiC. 2t To the Editor of The
Beo: Oq, South Twentieth street and Cen
tral boulevard my friend and neighbor P.
Kuntg got bis lot filled. To protect the
sidewalk thy covered It with dirt to more
than ths width of the lot, about sixty feet.
About a week ago they got through, but
the dirt is there yet. Yesterday's sloppy
weather made this place so muddy, the
soft dirt Is carried and spread for a half
block either way. As my neighbor Is a
busy man. and besides there would be no
use to k him to put the walk In proper
conditio, as ho ought to have done as
soon as they finished hauling, I naturally
went to the Board of Public Works and
asked for a sidewalk inspector to look into
this thing. I was told this was none of
their business, I had to apply to the com
mlsslpner of streets. When 1 told my story
to tr clerk of the commissioner of streets,
how the dirt was carried on the boulevard,
he thought It Was the concern of the Park
bonrd. I told him It certainly could not
be, because the Park board had nothing to
do with the walks on Twentieth street.
By talking one way and another be ar
rived at the concision It must be the con
cern of the School board, because the dirt
waa taken off the ground of Vinton school.
6o we went to the office of the School
board, and there rests ray complaint.
I should like to know, Is It red tape, or
do we have so many officials that they in
fact do not know what their proper duties
are? I think the owner of the lot la re
sponsible for the condition of the walk, if
he let a contract to have dirt carried
over the walk, and it Is covered during the
time of work; It ought to be removed when
finished. . Respectfully, F. S1MAN.

cussing the attack expressed astonishment
that Mr. Wnterhouso should make a com
plaint to the Board of Education when lie
had no personal knowledge of the truth
fulness of the charges nor bad be even
gotten his Information from one who pre
tended to know anything definite In the
matter. All the Information he possessed
being based on a vague rumor that his
daughter fancied she heard among the,
girls about a year ago. And yet from this
he presumed to make nn open charge that
the state, normal at Peru is not a fit place
morally for a young lady to be. Neither
can the people or Peru understand why
the teeretary or the Board of Education,
did not Investigate these charges, when
made, before publishing thejn. He needed
only to have gone to the principal of the
school to have learned thnt they were
entirely without foundation and that there
Is as President Crabtree says In a publlo
interview "perfect harmony between the
students and members of the faculty at
Peru."
It Is also said that the concerted action
and the similarity of the letters (one let-'
ter being almost the exact counterpart of
the others) shows that the half dozen
school superintendents who protested
against Miss Stoner being retained as pre
ceptress were urged to complain by one
Individual arid that this Person did not
have the wellfare of the school at heart,
but simply sought a personal revenge. Miss
Btoner stands high In the estimation of
Peru people and has their Implicit confi
dence and that of the hundreds of students
attending the school, as President Crab
tree says. For one individual to make such
an unwarranted attack on -the preceptress
and the school to satisfy his own personal
revenge. Incites everyone here to utter
strong words of condemnation against such
methods. NORMAL, .
