The school board will meet at 4 o'clock
this afternoon at the ONCE of Secretary
Ross on Pearl street for the election of
teachers and janitors. the assignment of
teachers, the fixing Of their salaries and
receiving bids for the heating plant for
the Pierce street building. The board had
originally planned to the cleo
ton and assignment OF teachers early in
the week, but the continued absence from
the city OF President Hess, who was water
bound in Kansas. caused the delay. He
arrived home yesterday, but the meeting
was not held last night because the bids
for the heating plant for the Pierce street
building are to be received at noon today
and by postponing the meeting until today
this matter also can be attended to.
Member George Gorha of the board
chairman of the committee on fuel and
heating. has prepared a statement showing
the cost of heating the schools the past
year as compared with the two previous
years. Mr.. Gorham's statement shows that
21O rooms have been kept warm at an w.
erage cost of s174S a room. During the
school year ending yesterday LOG tons OF
coal were consumed at an expense OF
Ss.s7O.Os; the year previous the same number
OF tons was used Of a cost OF IS, 7O9.6l. anC
for the year ending in the spring OF 1901 TIT
total tonnage OF coal was 1922. costing
50. 24s 49, In addition to the coal. approx
imately 500 worth OF wood was used eaci
year. In view OF the unfavorable circum.
stances for economy arising out OF the Goa
strike the showing for the past year Il
considered most creditable. '-r ..

Reed Adheres to Opinion.

1t was stated yesterday that Judge Jo-
seph r. Reed had upon a review of his
opinion In the library site matter, as re-
quested by the library board, announced his
determination to adhere to the position
taken by him heretofore, that a clear title
can be had to the Shugart property. It is
understood that Judge Reed is preparing a
further opinion on the subject which viii
be submitted to the board through the at
torneys for the Shugarts.
The boards next meeting will be held on
Monday evening and the matter will be
further considered at that time. Individual
members of the board have been talking
with other lawyers about the matter and
they find hat there is still a wide difference
of opinion. and in view of the possibility of
a cloud on the title, as thus indicated, at
least one member of the board who has
been for the Shugart site has said that he
would certainly be in favor of abandoning
1t in preference to. taking the risk of put
ting the building on a site the title to which
could be in any degree in doubt.
! The absence from the city of President
Rohrer and Member Burke, both of whom
will be In New York, may result in further
delay, possibly for ten days or two weeks.

CHANCE FOR BAIRD TO RECOVER
Bondsmen Ready in Case He VIII Tell
All He Knows About
Robbery.

CREsTON, Ia, June 5.-(Special)-Word
comes from Fort Madison hat Frank Baird
is still in a critical condition. His wound
is again discharging and this gives hope
that he may live. His symptoms OF blood
poisoning are less marked. Mrs. Baird is
with him in the prison hospital.
Baird's friends are in communication
with Judge Gamble, before whom he was
convicted at Knoxville, whom they hope
to induce to join them in a petition to the
governor for a thirty or siXty-day reprieve
to enable him to come home for better
care.
Efforts are also being made to secure a
5000 bond for Baird pending the hearing
in the supreme court. 1t Is not likely the
bond can be secured unless he will promise
to tell the whole story of the Sullivan rob-
berry. 1t is stated that on this condition
there are parties in Creston willing to
sign. II he has a story II would be worth
less unless given in open court.
