One hundred uniformed Omaha High
school cadets will l,c on fluty !n th city
Wednesday morning to guide Ilia tcachtrs
who como to the fnrty-sitth annual ses
sion cf Nebraska pedagogues to the tcy
cral platen of meeting. These cadets
will be cmnmanded by three women prin
cipals of Omaha schools Miss Fanr.l
I'orsythe. principal at Leavenworth; Mis
Ktta Smith, principal at Monmouth park,
and Mip Ann K. Hutchins. principal of
the Franklin school.
Miss Kornythe and fifteen cadets will
be In eimrgo of the Webster street sta
tion where they will capture Visiting
school ma'ams and School master Indis
criminately. Miss Smith with a company
of promising young" soldiers will . hold
the fort at the Burlington and Miss
Hutchins will be In charge of the Union
depot. Kaeh principal has been delegated
supremo command of her company and
will direct maneuvers without interfer
ence. While neither of the three women lead
ers of the young soldiers has seen actual
military service all have been pronounced
competent to command an army If nec
essary. Miss Korsythe, a ycung teacher
who la serving her first year as prin
cipal, established her right beyond
doubt to at least a captain's commission
when she safely rescued 500 children from
the Leavenworth school Friday when fire
(or a time threatened the destruction of
the building.
The move to organise a cadet informa
tion brigade was found necessary since at
least 2,000 teachers will visit Omaha from
the state and al.o from Iowa. Many of
these have not been in Omaha and others
will not be informed as to places of meet
ing and where rooms can be secured. This
information is to be furnished by the
cadets, who will also escort teachers to
the session chambers.
As indication that the attendance at the
convention will bo the greatest ever as
sembled to any teachers' convention in
Nebraska the local arrangements Commit
tee point to the fact that nearly 2,000
rooms have been reserved. The Toung
Men's Christian association alone has
listed 2,000 and the majority of them
have been taken.
R. J. Barr, superintendent of the Grand
Island schools, notified Superintendent
E. U. Graff of Omaha Saturday that he
Would attend the Nebraska teachers' con
tention beginning Wednesday. with forty,
five teachers from Grand Island. Several
other principals and superintendents
throughout the state have notified the
local arrangements committee that their
schools would cloae to allow the teachers
an opportunity to attend the big conven
tion.
A reception for the teachers will bo
held Thursday evening at which Max
I.andow will play and Miss Mary Mun
chhoff will sing. The South Omaha High
School orchestra will play in the interims.
The enrollment fee of II will admit teach
ers to all sessions and to this reception.
The committee has decided to begin
enrollment Wednesday morning at the
Home hotel and also at the Auditorium,
It was at first planned to have all teach
ers enroll at one place, ' but so many
schools of the stata have signified their
intention .of. sending suck a large number
that all could not be properly handled
at one registration place.
When the first session is held at the
Auditorium the visiting pedagogues will
see a room draped with hundreds of
United States flans, large and small, with
a background of green bunting. Three
hundred huge flags are being used In
the decorations in addition to hundreds
of smaller ones.

New Fallers Story
Appears, but it is
Very Quickly Denied
Another story, telllns of the location
of the murderer of Bridge Watchman
Faller. who disappeared from his post
of duty on the Douglas treet biidgo one
night last July and has never been seon
since that time, lias been wafted Into the
Office of the street railway company, in
whos employ Fallen waa at the time.
This time the murderer Is said
to be William Wilde, now In Jail at Fair
fax, Orory county. South Dakota,
where he la held on the charge of bavins
stolen a quantity of clothing. The story
was told to the officers of Oregory
county by one Robert Tlerhey. a fellow
prisoner, and one who asserts he become
Intimately acquainted with Wilde, while
they were both In Jail.
According to the story of Tlerney, Wilde
told him that last July he was In Omaha
and that one night, about 11 o'clock, on
the west end of the Douglas street
bridge, he attacked the bridge tender,
struck him with an Iron bar, crushed his
skull and killed him. kfter the man was
aeaa, he robbed the booy, taking ix ana
a revolver. Then h carried the body
to the middle of the brtdg and. raising It
over the rail, dropped it Into the river.
Officers of the street railway company
have investigated th report and find
that while Wilde la in Jail at Fairfax, he
denies ever having made the statement
attributed to him by Tlerney, or anybody
else. He says that he waa not In Omaha
during July and that he was never on the
Douglas .street bridge.
Another thing that discredits the story
of Tlerney Is the statement of Mrs. Fal
lers to the effect that her husband did
not have, or carry a revolver and that at
no time when on night duty did he have
as much as $3 in his possession at one
time.
Federal Clock May
Be Illuminated
When the work of repairing the federal
building begins, one of the first acts of
the painters and electricians will be to
repair the clock and dials in the
dome of the buldlng. For some time
the clock has been behaving somewhat
erratically and at night it is almost im
possible to tell the time. Superintendent
Cramer says he will fix it up In some
way end In all probability he will en
large the dials and hands and place elec
trlo lights behind the glass faces.

Saturday to take up the appeal of Cald
well A Drake, general contractors on the
new county building, from Architect John
Latensers refusal to accept a lot of vault
doors whloh are not up to specifications.
One of the combine thinks he still has a
ohance for re-election. It's a delicate
chance and the combine didn't want to
Jar it by turning down Latenser to please
the general contractors.
County Commissioner Elsasser, -who
was supposed (o have - been completely
gagged until after election, bit his gag
In two and demanded Immediate aotlon
sustaining Mr.- Latenscr. Chairman Bed
ford referred tho matter to the committee
of the whole and told Mr. Klsasser that
was the beet thing to do. "We can take
it up there and find out about It," said
Mr. Bedford. "I thought we knew all
about it," persisted Mr. F.!assei ''Well,
we'd better take it tip in committee,"
said Bedford.

urday morning, during the first hour.
This number consisted almost entirely
of persons who were seeking the distinc
tion of placing the first deposit, and after
the fli'Bt few minutes after the bank's
doors had been thrown open the clerks
and tellers Intldu had comparatively little
to do.
Tho first depositor was A. O. Swift, 1RU
Maple street, who is a clerk In the post
office nd who has been In the govern
ment eniiJloy for the last forty-two years.
Ho was hanging to the doorknob at t
o'clock and guarding his place Jealously.
Swift was assistant postmaster in Ne
braska City for twenty-six years and wns
later postofflce Inspector for sixteen
years.
Sngart Follows Swift.
Swift was followed by J. n. Sugart,
another old government employe. Unlike
Swift, who deposited $10, Sugart put in
a Binglo dollar, hi object being only to
ray, "1 was ono of the first." Following
Sugart camo little 7-year-old Theodore
Lewis, a colored boy, accompanied by his
mother, who deposited . to in bis name.
I-lttle Lewis earned his money by caring
for his father's chickens, and the money

SIOUX CITY LUMBER
RATE CASE IS HEARD
Complaining that the railroad rates
on lumber from the south to Sioux City
are unjust because they are S cents per
100 pounds higher than the Omaha rates,
George T. Bell, commissioner of the
Sioux City Commercial club, appeared be
fore Examiner J. S. Burchmore of the
Interstate Commerce commission Satur
day morning in the United States circuit
court room and testified In favor of
lower charges.
The hearing began at 9 o'clock and the
greater part of the morning was con
sumed In th taking of Mr. Bell's evi
dence. Mr, Bell stated that although
Sioux City la considerably farther north
than Omaha the distance Is not so great
that G cents per hundred pounds more
than the Omaha rate should be ohargod
for carrying. The contention i f the rail
roads Is that the distance between Sioux
City and Omaha Is 100 miles and that
an extra 5 cents for carrying lumber that
dls'ance Is not exorbitant,
A recess was taken at 1 o'clock, after
which tho hearing was resumed. No de
cision lu the matter will be made for
several weeks, for as soon as the hearing
Is completed the case will trans
ferred either to Sioux City or to Chi.
cago for further investigation.
