with the board of trustees in behalf OF
the retention of Miss Davidson, and
II necessary, order an investigation of
the charges against her.
The petition was taken to Governor
Wells by one of the blind pupils named
Layne, who, it is said, originated and
circulated the document. 1t was, how

At meeting held last Thursday of
the visiting committee, it is said that
Mrs. Emerson. was informed that the
governor questioned the propriety of
her drafting and circulating such

the petition and asserted that her part
in the affair had been misrepresented
to the governor. She announced her
intention of resigning from the board
of trustees
At this meeting there were present
John Watson, who had qualified in the
meantime, Mrs. Emerson and Miss

HOW TO SUPPRESS CRIME.
Chicago Doctor Suggests Establish
ment of Tarpeian Rock.

Chicago, April 24-Daniel E. Brewer.
a prominent physician, in a lecture, ad-
vocated the establishment Of a Tar
peiau rock in Chicago, unless the city
secures a new code of criminal laws.
He said:
The percentage of criminals has in
creased so rapidly in the United States
that we now have one habitual, or he
reditary criminal in every thousand
persons. Criminals propagate, marry
and multiply unrestricted and unless
we can change our laws, Will continue
to increase in the same ratio they have
in the past until it is appalling to con-
template the result. If Chicago does
not soon have new code of criminal
laws. it Will he wiser to have a Tar
peiau rock, like the Romans from
which malefactors and degenerates
might be thrown to death.
I'VE should have laws controlling
marriage so that degeneracy may be
checked by preventing the union of
criminal, diseased or lunaJIc couples -

watchman at the foot of Farnam
street show that the Missouri river rose
two inches at the Douglas street bridge
between o'clock Sunday night and 8
o'clock this afternoon. The water is
certainly higher on the north side of

The Stag crusher is completely sur
rounded by water. which has reached

night.
The Union Pacific tracks in this vi
cinity are covered with water and
trains cannot be run. The plant of the
Grant Paving company at the foot of
Paul street, is nearly a wreck. The
water in Out-of-Luck has risen eight
cen inches during the past twenty
four hours, and the Ames avenue
bridge is submerged. Florence lake is
at a standstill Water is almost on a
level with Swift & Co.'S big ice house.
In order to reach the level Of Florence

in East Omaha had to shut down to-
day on account of water flooding the
boiler room. A dozen more families
were driven out of the bottoms TO-DAY.

Experiments in feeding and In com
putting the value of eggs, show that If
no estimate Is made for labor. one doZ-
en- eggs can be produced at cost of
about 6 cents for food, or about half a
cent an egg. If all of the food allowed
to hens were converted into eggs the
profit of dozen eggs would be large,
even when prices are very low, but much
depends on whether the hens convert
food into eggs, flesh or support of the
bodies. 1t is fact demonstrated, how
ever that when a dozen eggs are mar
keted they carry from the farm but lit

in proportion to their value in market,
and on that account they are as profit
able as anything that can be produced
