One of the latest danger signals thrown Out Is that In the new city charter desig nating that the city treasurer credit the alnklng fund with all fines and collections by the police court, the charter la In vio lation of the constitution of the state. The stats constitution provides that all fines arising under the code shall be paid to the county funds for the aupport of the public schools. This hss been done regularly here tofore. But tha fines arising under the breeches of the city ordinances, the court costs and unpaid witness fees form a fund which can be paid to the city treasurer. This Is slso covered sufficiently by the constitution. The South Omaha charter provides that the police magistrate shall Pay this money to the city treasurer monthly. This has been done also. The only change In the matter Is thst this money shall be credited to the Interest fund or the sinking fun so called. Another cause of alarm Is that the new charter will not come Into effect soon enough to permit the funds to be raised to meet tha conditions which will be pro vided for In other sections of tho new charter amendments. The new charter lays down a new method of procedure. Instead of tha appropriation and IrTy ordinance being passed In July as under the old charter the ordlnancea are all passed In August. The tax levied by this procedure doea not become a Hen on the property until October, while the tax under the old charter became a lien as soon as the levy ordinance was passed. The difficulties will not nil be settled until the official copy of the charter Is received. Graham BiotlSed of A paoln tmea t. N. M. Graham, superintendent of tha South Omaha city schools, received notice of hla appointment by Governor Shallen berger to a position on the board control ling state normal schools. He received the communication Informally last night through Senator Tanner. The appointment came as a surprise to Mr. Oraham. Ho did not apply for tha place, but aoma friend presented his name to the governor and It ntet with favor. The work of the board will not Interfere with his work aa city superintendent Miller on Trial for Asswalt. John Sullivan has filed a complaint In Judge Caldwell's court against Charles Miller for assault with Intent to do great bodily Injury. The case waa being tried yesterday afternoon. The state pre sented witnesses to show that tha as sault waa more than a plain assault and battery, Tha circumstances of the case aa related at the time of the alleged as sault were that there was bad feollna between the two men arising from tho at tentions Sullivan had given to Miller's daughter. Sullivan went to the Cudahy packing house, where Miller works as foremen of the steam fitting gang, and la aald to have accused Miller in a threatening manner. Miller struck Sulli van, knocking him down. It Is asserted by Miller that he could not stand the abuse, but that he had no vicious Intent when he struck Sullivan. Sullivan tell, and It Is said his head struck an iron tube and a concussion resulted which came near causing his death. The proaeeution finished yesterday and the defense will begin this morning. The de fense will seek to prove that no Intent to injure existed and that the cose was simple assault and battery. If not Justifi able. Magic City Gossip. Call Glynn Transfer for moving. Tel. 364.

H. baa not announced I what bis plans are for the lutur At the Temple Israel last night the Wln napolla Symphony quartet assisted by Miss Adelaide Pierce, contralto, gave a program of popular chamber music before a large snf. intereated audience. The quartet la composed thus: First violin, Fram Anton Korb; second violin, Fians Dicks; vlcla, Olaf Hals, and violoncello, Carlo Fischer. Mr. Fischer, who has become popular with Omaha audiences, in the last few years, on account of his cello playing, was pot only a valuable asjiet to the program by virtue of his solo work, but also be cause of the manner In which he explained the program. ' If any should -be Inclined to cavil at this idea of furnishing explanations. It should be borne In mind that first, this was not a concei t In a musical series, but a recital In a srrles of church entertain ments; and secondly, Iliat 'hamrT music is ho Jtttle known in Omaha, cr Indeed In any place which does not boast a "ymphony orchestra, that it seemed a veiy fitting thli g to give as Mr. Fischer did. an Idea of how Chamber music came to exist, what Its resson for exiiience, and what It really means. His IDustiatlor.s of the various pei tods In the develf pmeni of music, the Clakslcal. the Honitntlc, and the Modern were exceedingly apt. Vha quartet clld aouie I IgHly acceptable' work, and eho-d that much time hart been spent in the rehearsal room, for the string quartet Is the one form of musical presen tation which scaicely ever utialns 'onsum maie excellence. Theie was a noticeable "sharping" occasionally. hut generally n.akinc the ensemble wcrfc was exceeding giMd. In the KWchrrinl Minuet which as given as an encor. the work was sheerly exquisite. Miss Adelaide Tierce has a contralto vole, of much beauty and natural color; her upper tones she. s!nts aim brightness nd life, but for soma resson sue entombs her lower rctave In sepulchral drtrknets. V hen she opens up her low.r tones liar enunciation will be greatly benefited and she will be a most Interesting singer. The old "Lucia" acrobatic stunt as nerformsd by Mr. Korb, as it waa previ ously by Mr. Kubellk. Just why this stxUcttfl with orchestral Hccompanlmvnt should be attempted on a four stringed In atrument playing Its own accompaniment, passes the knowledge of the prent writer. Mr. Korb afterwards played trie Schumann "Abendlled" and showed how a Violin ahould be played. The Grieg Sonata movement was the best number on the program, the best played, and well worth going to hear. K. Firemen Fail to See the Joke At a Remit Ike Pleasant it Arrested for Turning in a False Fire Alarm. About 12:30 o'ch ck this morning, the same being April -, It occurred to Ike Pleasant, colored, that it would be a pleasant little April . fool joke to see the fire department make a little run.

The department made a inn and when It found tho alarm a fake, notifi.-d the police. Detective J, T. Dunn and Officer Driacoll quickly located Pleasant, who gave the assumed name of Junes, and escorted I'lm to the station. After Judge I'rawford listened to the details of the little Joke In police court tills morning he decided that it would he a good plan to allow Ike he uniraiunieled enjoyment of the affair tor a few das without being forced to do anything else, so gave him an order for free Los id and room at the city jail for five duvs. At the Theaters "Baster Irawt" at the Kraft-. "Buster Brown," the cartoon creation which has mad. millions of children laugh, la here again In rea' life and la making a three daya' . step at the Krug. It would be too much to expect that Buster should tske anything seriously, and so the play is an entertaining mixture of Jokes, songs, specialties and fun with enough of a plot to hold the Brown family together, as vari ous members, Including the nioth.r-ln-law, get In any number of scrkpes through the irrepressible incorrigibility of Buster and Tlge.

He waa tried on charges, convicted and ordered dismissed. When the order for Hutchinson's dismissal was read to the department it waa accom panied by a statement from Commissioner O'Meara that ought to be read by every police officer high and low. Hera la law and gospel for all departments: "Any nan who for the sake of loafing on duty would risk a position that Is bet ter than he la likely ever to get again, has not common sense enough to be a police man. Any man who would thua disobey orders and regulations and bring dis credit upon his comrades and superiors hss neither loyalty enough nor enough of the apint of discipline to be a policeman. Any man who would desert his post and at midnight leave to th chancea of crime, fire and accident tha sleeping people who trust to his protection, has not humanity nough to be a policeman.
