INTERCEDE WITH THE ELkHoRN
Local Merchants Want EIkhOrn
Trains to Enter the City.

Local Merchants Want EIkhOrn
Trains to Enter the City.
At meeting of the executive committee
OF the Merchants and Manufacturers asso
citation last night a committee consisting of
General e. F. Test, l.. A. Devine and r. III.
Hill was appointed to take UP with the Of
ticials OF the Northwestern railway in Chi
cago the matter Of the service of trains on
the Elkhorn road The committee was ap-
pointed for the direct purpose of trying
to induce the railway company to run its
trains on the Elkhorn in and out of Council
Bluffs to accommodate the trade and traffic
from this city.
The jcbbers and manufacturers, and more
especially the implement men. have a large
trade in and ship vast quantity OF goods
to that portion OF Nebraska and the Black
Hills district reached by the Elkhorn. At
present all firms in this city shipping to
that section OF the country have either to
send their goods round by Missouri Valley
or send them by wagon to Omaha. the lat
ter arrangement entailing heavy expense
The implement frms of this city during
what is known in the trade as the repair
season especially feel the need of closer
connection with the Elkhorn. 1t is argued
| that the Elkhorn could easily run its trains
to and from this city over the Terminal
| company's bridge with very little extra ex
pense, and that the trade which the com,
pany derives from this city entities tbs
jobbers and manufacturers to such serv'
ice, instead OF being compelled, as now, tC
practically haul all OF their goods to the
Webster street depot in Omaha
Efforts to secure this service have In th'
past failed with the local officials OF tn,
| road, and now the association will take tn,
| matter up with the head officials In Chi

WORK OF PUPILS IN DRAWING
First Monthly Exhibit of the Handi-


work of the School Children.
The first monthly exhibit of specimens
| Of the work in drawing now being done in
| the city schools has been placed in position
on the walls Of the corridor on the third
| floor in the Bloomer building. The speci-
| mems are all neatly mounted on cards and
the collection makes most interesting ex-
hibit. Much of the work displayed is of
high order and reflects great credit on
the pupils and Miss Harriet Blood, the
superintendent of drawing and penmanship
in the city schools.
This is the first exhibit of the kind and
Is the fulflment of a plan which Miss
Blood has been working on for some time
past and in which she has been ably assisted
by the teachers of the different school build
ings. This exhibit will be changed monthly
and every interested in the work OF
the schools is at liberty to inspect the col
lection, which presents varied assortment
OF subjects. The teachers say that since
the pupils learned that such an exhibit was
to be made they have taken an increased
interest in their drawing and vie with each
other in doing the best work, with the hope
of having their work selected to hang in
the collection.
The Board of Education occupied it's new
quarters on the third floor in the Bloomer
building for the first time Monday night.
The change from the Washington avenue
building was made necessary. owing to the
increased attendance at that building. The
| board room has been formed by partitioning
! off a portion of the corridor at the north
end. The desks of the members and tables
for the superintendent, secretary and super
| visor of buildings are separated from the
! lobby by neat railing. The room is taste
| fully papered and the woodwork stained a
deep mahogany and vanished the whole
presenting a handsome appearance. 1t is
well lighted and ventilated.
