Secretary Burgess OF the Board OF Educa-

There will not be more thai Ave scholars

MISSOURI CURRENT CHANGES
why Omaha Water Company IL
Anxious for High Stage
of Water.

The Omaha Water company is becoming
interested In the condition of the Missouri
river and the probability Of a high stage Of
water this summer. Yesterday E. M.
Fairfield, manager of the company. investi-
gated the snowfall in the mountains and the
conditions at the ~headwaters which would
occasion higher water. He was informed by
the local weather forecaster that all hope
for high water might be dropped, as every
indication pointed to a low stage In the
Missouri during the spring and summer.
Mr.. Fairfield said: I'VE are not becoming
alarmed over the low water. as under any
conceivable condition we will have plenty
OF water at the Florence station, but we are
looking up the condition of the river with
reference to the Burt street pumping sta
ton. II the river remains low this year 1t
may cause us to put In work there which
otherwise we will not have to do. The river
has been forming a sandbar in front of the
station for some time, and while our feed
pip was in the current OF the river at the
time the plant was constructed. the current
is now on the Iowa side. In addition to the
trouble caused by the natural change in the
channel the end OF our suction pipe is get
ting into a pocket. caused by the Stag from
the smelter which is being dumped into the
river and which is forming a point. Right
now there is an eddy formed by the point,
but 1t may become dead water soon.
'If We had a stage Of high water this
spring It is probable that the bar would be
washed out. At the present time We can
keep the end of the suction pipe clear only
by running the pumps night and day. II the
bars were gone we could run the pumps only
when We desired the water"

Mobiles of TanEier Temple

Made final arrangements for the pilrim-
age to San Francisco on Friday evening,
May 20, selecting the Union Pacific as the
Oficial Route, thus disposing OF all mis-
leading statements on this point.
In making this selection the following
facts were borne in mind, namely: The
Union Pacific is the only line running
through trains via Denver and Salt Lake
10 California;; that it is 27S miles shorter to
San Francisco and l6 hours quicker than
any other line. and that, as less time is
consumed via this route. there are fewer
incidental expenses on the trip.
Nearly all the prominent eastern Temples
will pass through Omaha over the Union
Pacific.

reservations made on application. City

Cut glass HAPPY. 81. EdhOlm. Jews,er.
GLASS COMBINE NOT BROKEN
Mr.. Kennsrd Talks of the Agreement
10 Be Continued Another
Year.

F. B. Kennard has returned from Chi
cago, where he attended a meeting Of the
American Plate Glass Jobbers' association,
held cUncurrently with a meeting Of the
plate glass manufacturers
There was considerable speculation over
the result of the meeting of the manufac-
turers and jobbers,' said Mr.. Kennard. 1T
was believed that the understanding entered
into between the companies in the combina-
ton and those on the outside would be
broken, but on the last day they all got
together on the basis of last year and all
trouble was averted, on paper, at least.
The independent manufacturers were pro-
vided for by being given permission to
sell their proportion OF the stock OF the
country. The plan will work in this man
ner: There are. say, ten firms manufac-
turing plate glass in this country. Their
output will be %, 200, 900 feet OF glass. The
annual sales of glass in this country
amount to about Ii, ZOO, 900 feet, so that each
factory will sell three-hfths OF what 1t
might manufacture All orders from job
bers are sent TO one man, a distributing
agent in Chicago. He apportions the orders
among the factories so that each one will
receive its Just proportion based upon its
total capacity. This plan operated las,
year, but some manufacturers complained
Of not getting their share OF the business.
l predict that there will be other complaints
to follow and that with the meeting mex
year the understanding will be dissolved
Already there are rumors Of intended cut
ting OF the rates and the ink is scarcely
dry on the agreement. At that meeting
$40. O0o, 900 capital was represented, go that
you see the plate glass business of the
country is beginning to assume large pro-
portions"

The story about Mayor Moores' matri-

HALF OF The GRADING DONE
Progress Of Work on vsrdigris Extension Of

to Travel with Tansier

General Manager Bidwell Of the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad has just
returned from the scene OF the Verdigris
extension with the first news that has been
had concerning the progress on that work
for many weeks. "Thirty-six miles and a
half OF that line Is graded, - said he, land
there's only sixty-nine miles in all, so we
are well along as regards distance. Then
the heavy mile and a quarter Of rock work
west of Niobrara, which was a bigger task
than all the other sixty-seven and three
quarters miles combined, Is completed TO
grade. / walked over the grade myself.
This job was an enormous task, 100000
cubic yards Of rock having been taken out
there.
Thus the building Of this railroad has
now ceased to be a matter of grading. That
amounts to nothing now. 1t is the bridging
which is the big thing confronting US. There
will be about fifty small bridges and the big
one over the Niobrara river. These must Of
course be built in advance OF the track. We
cross Ponca creek alone about fifteen times.
We already have all bridges in between
Verdigris and a point two miles west Of Mo
brara except the big one. and / think we
will get them all in as early as we plan to.
The road will be finished on September 10,
according to present calculations. Three
hundred teams and 500 men are being kept
busy on it, and everything possible is being
done to hasten II. The sixty-pound rails
for the track are being hustled up from the

we are proud OF it. / understand that they
