Nebraska POpulists Determined to Enter
 Him in the Presidential Race.
 OMAHA, Neb., April 15.-Nebraska populists to the number of several hundred met in Omaha last night and formed an organization looking to the promotion of the interests of Senator William V. Allen in the presidential campaign. It is proposed to send a Nebraska delegation to St. Louis in. structed for him, if possible. The probability is that the movement will receive no opposition unless from Sena. tor Allen himself, who has already an. nounced in an open letter that he can. not afford to be a candidate.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Night and Elected Officers for the Ensuing Scholastic Year.

An important meeting of the board of education was held Monday night at the office of the superintendent of schools. It was the annual meeting and all the members of the board were present. Messrs Steiner, Gregg and Gray and his honor, Mayor Evans, were duly enstaled as members and received the oath of of flee at the hands of President Welman Chairman Lane. of the finance commit tee, made full report of the financial condition of the schools. He stated that he had carefully examined the books and vouchers of Mir Cameron, the retiring treasurer, and found them correct. Sev- eral accounts, properly approved by the finance committee, were ordered paid. Capt. O'Brien, of the executive commit tee, reported upon repairs to school buidl- ings and other matters that had been referred to his committee.
 Supt. Phillips reported the schools in excellent condition. The attendance up- on the white schools is about 300 more than for the corresponding week of last year. This he attributed to the entire absence of all infectious diseases. For the past five or six years scarlet fever, measles and other infectious diseases made their appearances at the opening of the schools and continued until the vacat tion. In December of last year the schools were considerably decreased on
 
 months of the present session not a sin gle case of infectious disease has been re- ported from the schools. This in itself is sufficient vindication of the change of text books made in September.
 The board then proceeded to the elec- ton of officers for the ensuing year, which resulted as follows:
 PreSident-Dr. Ullman.
 ce-President-Hon. r. V. Evans.
 Treasurer-Mr. H. B. Gray.
 The election of secretary was post poned. On motion the bond of the treas urer was fixed at $10000, to be approved by the president and vice-president of the board. On motion of MT Steiner the president and vice-president were au- thorized to make arrangements to take up the note outstanding against the board when the same falls due.
 A committee consisting of Messrs OBrien, Evans and Gray was appointed to investigate the repairs recently made upon the heating apparatus of the Paul Hayne school and also to examine the condition of the same school.
 President Ullman stated that he would appoint the standing committees of the board and would announce the same later. The regular meetings of the board will be held hereafter at 730 o'clock on the first Monday evening of each month.

Observed at St. Paul's Yesterday-Fine Organ Ordered for the Church.
 Yesterday was the day set apart in the Catholic church as the Feast of Immacu- late Conception. deriving its name from the fact that 1t is recorded as the day on which the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived Jesus Christ, the Son of God, without sin. In all Catholic churches two masses are read on that day, and yes- terday Rev. Father P. A. ORiley, of St. PauPs, read a mass at 6 and another at a. m. in commemoration of that i'm portant event.
 Both masses were largely attended and fine musical programme was rendered at the latter.
 FINE ORGAN PURCHASED.
 Father O'Riley has closed contract for a mammoth pipe organ to be placed in the loft of St. Pauls as soon as pos sible. The organ will cost $5,000, and will be in full keeping with the magnificent altars, stations and other fine interior decorations of that beautiful house of worship.
 The structure is almost complete and when the organ will have been put in place will be one of the finest of it's size in the south.

BILL REGULATING MINING Hons. B. L. Hubbard and John
 HarkinS. SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTED By the Mining Committee Reached 6irming ham Monday Night to Gather
 Information.

Hon. B. l.. Hubbard and Hon. John Har<ins arrived in the city Monday night and spent yesterday among the mines of this district. These gentlemen are the subcommittee appointed by the mining committee of the legislature to come to Birmingham and gather inform ation to be uaed in framing bill regulat- ing mines and mining. A delegation of miners from this district have been be- fore the mining committee urging further regulations of the mines, such as better air, more thorough inspection, and other important matters. The bill that will be prepared by the committee effects all mines in the state, and is very im- portant matter.
 The mining industry is second in im- portance only to the agricultural inter ests of the state. There Is only one miner in the legislature, MT. Harkins, of Jeff ferson, and the committee, desiring to act intelligently, sent up this sub-com- mittee to gather information. MT. Ap- bling was also appointed on the commit tee, but could not come The selection of Col. Hubbard was a very happy one. He was resident of Birmingham for sev- eral years, and Is familiar with the inter es.s of this district He is the member from Monroe county, and is under no obligation to either mine operators or operatives in this county. He is thor oughly competent to act intelligently, and he is honest and fearless.
 This subcommittee will be shown around today by representatives of the mine owners and the miners. It Is prob able that larger committee will be ap- pointed to come to Birmingham during the legislative recess, and thoroughly investigates the needs of the mining in terests in this district. It Is to be hoped that Col. Hubbard and MT Harkins will be put on such committed. The min ing bill will not be introduced until after recess and it is probable that it will be framed by Col. Hubbard.

Du Chaillu, tie Explorer I, !.

Minneapolis Journal: One Of the
most unique stumpers during the
late campaign was without much
doubt Paul du Chaillu. He ira veled
through Minnesota and the two
Dakotas, talking and working for
Mckinley. He has lived In free
silver countries and knows BY per-
sonal experience what would follow
II this country was placed ON asilver
basis. Unole Paul talks to the
French, the Norwegians, Swedes
and Firms, in their own languages,
In all of which he is perfectly at
home. H. wanted around wherever
his fancy listed. visiting friends and
talking whenever he could get an
opportunity, seeking the Scandina..
vians in particular. ,st .>-
/ No campaign committee sent Mr..
Chaillu out, and he received no pay,
but it is very doubtful II any of the
men dra wing munificent salaries did
any more effective work than the
we'll known African explorer.

Better Lumber Sales.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
present is an excellent time to go
into the retail lumber business, and
d poor time to go ont of 1t. The
large number IF yards that are
being purchased every week, by well
posted lumbermen, is evidence that
they consider the present the time to
invest in lumber interests of q retail
nature. A good retail lumber yard
| in a. good town will be pnyin"
property from this on. The country
districts have gone too long with
out buying lumber to he able to
continue much longer without buy
ing. Repairs are absolutely
necessary in many instances, and as
soon as money becomes Il little
easier, and the business interests
pick up the thread where they
dropped in the day following the
Chicago convention last July, there
will he lumber bought and repairs
made. Ofcourse in the northwest,
the weather Is not likely to be
favorable for building much longer
this fall, and the lumber trade can
not expect a very great amount OF
business until early in February.
Building that has to be done tn pre-
pare for the cold weather, will OF
course be carried out this fell, and
that is about all. But that 1897 will
be a great year for the lumber trade
seems absolutely certain, and that
lumber from Nov. 8, 1896, on. is u
good investment, is beyond con-
itention. Accordingly the wise man
Iis buying retail yards now, wherever
he finds suitable locations. Always
during period of depression in
business people want to get out Of
one line of business and into an
Other, nnG it has been so in the lum-
her trade. But we believe that the
future promises change, SO that it
will pay to stick to the old trade.
