DEMAND FOR UMBRELLAS
city Engineer Rosewater Talks of
the Presidential Innueu-
ration.

washington was a sea OF umbrellas the
day Of the. inauguration. Early in the
morning the weather was pleasant and then
ID began to rain. II was impossible to en-
Joy the ceremonies because OF the brigades
Of umbrella carriers, who stood every
where and shut off the View" said City
Engineer Andrew Rosewater, who has just
returned from Washington. THE men in
the Iarade we're so thoroughly drenched
that 1t was almost impossible to tell what
they would have looked like under normal
conditions
zone noticeable feature was the slight
applause which greeted Admiral Dewey and
General Miles. They rode together in the
parade and the applause they called forth
was very faint Everywhere I heard peo-
pie remarking about the lack OF enthusi-
asm over the naval hero.
Dewey was very striking figure. His
large. gray moustache stood out in strange
contrast to the gay uniform he wore. He
resembles his pictures much that It can
not be said that the crowds failed to recog-
nize him. Several Washington men re-
marked to me that on many occasions the
public has shown the same coldness toward
the admiral which characterized the inau-
guration crowds
Mckinley seemed to be the one man In
whom everybody was interested The
rainy, disagreeable weather did not dampen
the enthusiasm of the crowds sufficiently to
prevent the president from receiving a
rousing reception all along the line Of
march
On his return from Washington Mr.. Rose
water stopped in Chicago and had a consul
tation with City Electrician Ellicott con-
cernng subways and the best plan for bury
ing electric wires.
'Mr. Ellicott tells me that In his opinion
a city should own its own subways and be
able to regulate wires. In many OF the
streets in Chicago various companies have
constructed their own subways. and the
streets are so thoroughly underlaid that II
is almost impossible to find space for addi-
tional ducts. He says that in time Chicago
will be compelled to force all wires into
subways that are controlled by the city,"
said the city engineer. THE streets are
continually torn up by the various COM
panies which are repairing their wires and
ducts.
by forcing all these companies to use q
common subway repairs could be confined to
a small portion OF the street and the public
would be spared the Inconvenience caused
by the continual tearing up and relaying Of
paving"

TAKES PART IN DISCUSSION
superintendent Pearse Has His Sny
About Public school
system.

Superintendent Pearse said when asked
about the reported statement OF n High
school teacher concerning an entering class
OF forty from the eighth grade: 1T Is
hardly likely that a teacher made such a
statement She or he has probably been
misquoted by some one in reporting what
was said. If, however, any teacher made
such a statement | have no doubt the same
pupils could be taken after receiving her
instruction In English and test could be
given them which would show results upon
which quite as damaging statements could
be based as those which we're attributed to
the teacher referred to.
Teachers sometimes fall into the habit
OF criticising pupils received from teachers
In the grades below. Sometimes, OF course,
pupils are not as we'll prepared in some or
all subjects as they should be. 1t is notice.
able, however, that the best teachers are
the ones least likely to make comment Of
this kind. Teachers OF the eighth grade in
Omaha are almost without exception we'll
prepared. skillful teachers, who do good
thorough work.
Pupils who enter the High school find
themselves in such different atmosphere and
under such different conditions that they
do not appear to advantage until they be-
come accustomed to their new SURROUNDINGS
new methods or work and new teachers
Until this feeling Of newness and strange
ness has worn off these pupils are easily
disconnected, and by questioning them in a
style different from that to which they are
accustomed might be made to appear ig-
norant concerning things about which they
were really we'll informed.
"a teacher who judged hastily or did not
understand her pupils as well as she might
would perhaps conclude that they did not
know the structure OF an English sentence,
or were deficient in some other important
department OF knowledge. High school
teachers should be. and usually are, sensible
and considerate In these matters and re-
member that college and university people
often make the same criticisms upon pupils
received from the High school that High
school teachers are sometimes disposed to
make upon pupils received from the grades
below"

THIS BEATS THE COAL MAN
Foragcrs for Fuel Rip IN Board Side
walks In GhOuIish
GIee.

Wooden sidewalks In outlying portions Of
the city are disappearing with a regularity
which convinces the street commissioners
that many families are making retrench-
ments in their coal bills.
Men are kept busy all the time filling
cinders and dirt into the holes which are
left in walks by wood thieves. This is done
to protect the public from injuries and to
prevent damage suits against the city.
Boards have been stolen from walks in
nearly all parts OF the city. In the vicinity
OF Thirty-third and Hamilton streets city
employees have found that the sidewalks
have suffered worse than in nearly any
other ne ghtorhood. Extensive repairs have
also been made at Thirteth and Boulevard
streets, Twenty-hrst and Grant streets,
Seventh and Mason streets and on West
Leavenworth street.
The paving bill which is now pending in
the leg stature provides that temporary side
walks OF cinders or gravel may be laid. In
case this bill becomes law wooden side
walks will be done away with.

LACKS EVEN THE FIG LEAF
hut There's Good Reason for the
Scanty Attire OF
This Man.

c. s. Frazier, a street car conductor, was
only partially dressed when heyrushed down
the stairs at 2021 Webster street crying
'fre" yesterday morning. but he had good
excuse for his unstudied attire, for the rea-
son that his clothes, when he last saw them
were in flames. He had worked until after
midnight Saturday morning. and II was his
intention to sleep until 80. but cracking
noise and room full OF smoke had changed
HIS program.
The two-story frame house Mt 2021 Web
ster street is occupied by Asa w. Breham
and family, and Mr. Frazier occupies a room
on the second floor. The latter gave the
alarm OF fire shortly before s o'clock yester-
day morning. As the blaze originated be-
tween the studding mice and matches" are
ascribed as the cause. The building. which
is insured. was damaged to the extent OF $75.

PROMOTERS LOSE INTEREST
Omaha & Fremont Railway Franchise
Question is Almost n
Dead Issue.

"The promoters OF that railroad seem TO
have dropped out Of sight"
So remarked Commissioner Hoctor at
the county board meeting yesterday when
the recommendation OF the Commercial club
as to the provisions OF the Omaha & Free
mont franchise were read. There was no
one present with any interest in the rail-
road project and the commissioners let the
Commercial club communication slide into
the fle rack without ceremony,
II is stated on good authority that the
Fremont franchise, in the form recon-
mended by the Commercial club is not ac-
ceptable to the promoters OF the enter
prise and they have given up all hope OF
securing a favorable contract with the
county. The members of the county board
believe the incident 10 almost closed.

WHY so MANY FAIL
The Reason So Many Catnrrh Rene

There are few troubles. for which there
are so many remedies and so called cures"
as for catarrh and 1t may be added there
are few diseases so difficult TO really and
permanently cure.
lnhalers, sprays, powders, and douches
are all applied locally and give temporary
relief. often for only few hours and II
Is doubtful II anything like real cure of
catarrh was ever accomplished by the
use OF local applications.
Catarrh is n constitutional disease, Il is

Il requires an internal medicine to act upon

FIREBUCS INFEST The CITY
Frequent Inosndisry Blss,s Of Thursday and
Friday Nights Being Investigated.
DETECTIVES LOOK FOR TORCH BEARERS
Police Department Joins with Fire
Force 90 stamp Out Reign of
Terror In walnut Hill
District.

The police are attempting to solve the
mystery OF the three fires Friday night and
the two OF Thursday night All Of these
are believed by members Of the fire depart
ment to have been OF incendiary origin
The fires Of Friday night originated in a
peculiar manner, close together and with
out any plausible cause. The fire lighters
called the police to their assistance.
This had been done the night before, when
two mysterious fires occurred in Walnut
Hill. After Friday nights work the in.
vestigation began in earnest. Chief Don
ahue has placed detectives on the case and
has stated that they will be thoroughly in
vestigated
Chief Redell believes that the buildings
most OF which were barns or sheds with
barns adjoining, were set on fire. At :02
Friday night came an alarm for a fire in a
coalshed on the premises OF J. Patrick, on
Forty second street between Franklin and
Decatur streets. The men reached the
blaze in time to extinguish the flames.
This place is near the Belt Line tracks.
The first supposition was that the fire had
started from an engine spark. More care
ful investigation showed that 1t was prob
ably OF incendiary origin.
Called Out Again.
The Walnut Hlll company had Just re-
turned 10 the house when the alarm came
for fire In the rear OF 1929 Seward street
about two blocks to the southeast OF the
FIRST one. This was a shed leaning against
a barn. The property belongs to George
Ribbel. but is occupied by Daniel Downing
The inquiry into the cause OF this fire leh
TO the conclusion that the shed had been
fred.
While at work with this FIRE the men saw
the reflection from another fire across the
tracks. II proved to be in the rear OF a
barn at 4l49 Burdette street, one block
west and six north OF the fire where the
men were at work. This was of more con-
sequence than the others. but was quickly
extinguished with a stream from a hydrant
The three fires IN the same locality and
the fact that no natural cause was ap-
parent for the origin OF any OF them led the
men In the fire department to the belief
that firebugs we're at work.
Thursday Nights Fires.
On Thursday night fire was discovered in
the Arctic Ice company's house at Thirty
ninth and Nichols streets and In barn on
the premises OF Louis Goldsmith. 1920
Hamilton street. Both OF these fires were
OF suspicious origin and lent color to the
frebug theory concerning the three fires
which occurred in the same neighborhood
the following night.
In discussing the fires Chief Redell said
that he has but little doubt that the build
ings were fired. Although he has not made
an investigation OF the matter, he says that
the reports OF the nremen show the ear
marks OF incendiarism in all, five OF the
fires.

OMAHA WRAPPED IN SNOW
STORM OF TWO YEARS AGO is RECALLED
Weather Man, Mounted on Top al
Uncle Sans Big House. Chucklcs
I'm GIee and Says There's
More to Come.

Omaha is enveloped In snow. Precipita-
tion started at 12:4O o'clock yesterday.
Preceding the downpour OF snow, a raw.
damp wind prevailed for several hours,
which made the smart young man sorry
that he had rushed the season with his
spring overcoat. The change from wind to
snow was q relief.
Street car traffic was more or less handi-
capped early In the progress of the storm,
but prompt action on the part of an army
OF worknen is keeping the tracks clear and
the cars will perhaps continue to run even
though there may be some variation from
schedule time.
Recalls Another Storm.
Two years ago. on March IL. there was a
snow storm which marked an epoch In the
history OF Nebraska weather. In fact, 1t
was a blizzard and many citizens were
caught down town and forced to remain
away from home over night by reason OF
street car blockades. The storm OF two
years ago was vividly recalled yesterday and
many people wondered IL they were to bo
compelled to repeat the experience OF two
years ago and walk home.
That day, two years ago, the north and
south cars were snowbound by o'clock in
the evening and the Harvey and Farnam
lines gave up an hour later. The present
storm has indications of staying qualities
and the weather man on top of the federal
building said he could see enough snow
coming down the slopes of the continental
divide to keep up the fun until some lime
Sunday
For two days the weather has been OF an
uncertain character Friday night there was
indication of rain and Saturday morning the
amateur prophets OF the streets changed
their announcements to snow! Nobody was
surprised, therefore, when the storm began
and the only question was to how long
| II was to last and how bad it was TO be.
Temperature Takes a Tumble.
| The temperature dropped to the neigh
borhood OF 80 degrees and at 12;4O o'clock
the snow began to fall. All through Friday
night 1t had been coming down the eastern
| slope of the Rockies. Saturday morning 1t
| had reached North Platte. from which came
| the report of two-tenths of an inch of snow.
| The direction OF the storm is southeast,
having spread all over the northwest The
indications at the weather bureau are
that the storm will extend over the Mis-
souri, valley into the region OF the Mssis-
| sippi and along the lakes. Snow Is ex-
pected in all of these localities.
| No great change OF temperature is an
| ticipated. When the snow began 1t was
about the freezing point and the belief at
that time was that the mercury would not
vary more than or degrees.
