THE CENTRAL SCHOOL SITE.

One thing the school board will not be
justified in doing and that is in locating
the Central school on a site that is not
on level with the High School square,
or above it. The new building should
be an ornament to the city. 1t should
stand on ground that will present it to
view from every direction. A site To-
Gated in hollow or behind tho hills
and high banks of earth, no matter how
cheap, should be rejected us unavail-
able. The High School building, stand
ing on the crest OF Capitol hill, has been
a striking feature in every bird 's.eye
view of the city, aud central school
building properly located would add
to the prominence which Omaha public
school buildings occupy among our in
stitutions.

HAVANA, Cuba, March l6,-The receipts at

compared with last year aud tho government
is constantly occupied devising ways to in
crease the revenues. Many anticipate the
adoption of a new tariff in tho near
future and probably the suppression
Of the present reciprocity treaty with the

A wealthy Girl,s Singular Amiction


Fifty-six thousand dollars for medical
fee. That is the amount that Miss Pauline
Hoeml, a young German woman living on
Olive street, St. Louis, and her guardians
have agreed to pay DR.. William Bradley if
he cures her of little mental trouble
which has bothered her since her child
hood. The contracts have been made out
and as soon as Miss Hoeml is pronounced
sound in mind by referees, who have been
appointed, Dr. Bradley will receive his
$4,000.
Miss Hoeml is the only American heir to
fortune of upward of million dollars,
left by her father in Berlin, Germany. She
is also descendant of a noble family of
the German empire. The fortune was de
vised by will to the cssildren of Herr Hoeml
and other relatives, codicil providing that
Miss HoemPs portion should remain intact
until such time as the trustees Of the prop
erty should consider her recovered from her
mental troubles. Should she never be
mentally sound, the codicil reads, then her
share shall be equally divided at her death
among the surviving heirs.
The will also provides that while un-
sound in mind Miss Hoeml is to receive
only $40 month, the balance of the in
terest to be annually added to the estate.
Miss Hoemps portion now amounts to
$16S,000. The young woman's trouble is
simply that she has made no mental ad-
vancement since she was ten years old, and
her mind is sometimes overcome by cloud
that shuts off the past. Shortly after her
fathers death Miss Hoeml and her widow
ed mother moved to America, where the
latter became the wife of a well known st.
Louisian Since their arrival in America
the friends of the girl have made vigorous
efforts to have her cured but so far have
met with Indifferent success.
After examining the young lady DR..
Bradley said he could cure her, whereupon
the mother exclaimed that her daughter
would gladly give third of her fortune if
she could have the cloud, which she ap-
parently knows hangs over her mind, re-
moved.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
