DOUGLAS is CUT WAY DOWN
County Draws over Seventeen ThOus-
aud Dollars Less In school
Money Than Before.

Douglas county's spportionment Of school
money is this year materially reduced. For
1905 the school population was returned at
OPS and the amount OF money appor-
TONED TO Douglas county was S46.150.9S
This year the school population was put At
4o,145 and the amount of the apportionment
is only s2S,549.S2. The state superintendent
explains that this years apportioument is
shortened because Of tine failure Of the
railroads TO pay their taxes. There is no
hint OF padding by the big counties this
year, which is taken to account for the re-
duced number of pupils.

BREEN CALLS 1T POLITICS
City Attorney Says Ilbourn's Action on
Label Clause is Gallery Act.
TOUGH NUT Fer LEGAL DEPARTMENT
Breen says Case Has Been settled
once and lie Cannot Exec
tuaIIy Defend n For-
Iorn Hope.

The action of city Clerk Elbourn in dis
regarding the rulings Of the court and the
advice of the city attorney in the matter
Of the resolution passed by the city coun-
ell in 1899 that all city printing should bear
the union label. in giving out a statement
that he would require the successful bidder
to come up to the requirements of that
resolution, resulting in an injunction being
issued against him, has put the city at
torney up against the proposition of de-
Tending a forlorn hope, though 1t has Gre
ated some political capital for Elbourn.
Mr.. Brcen was present in the court room
when Attorney Mahoney for the PLAINTIFF in
the case, John s. Klemme applied for the
restraining order and he told Mr.. Mahonev
that the action would not be necessary and
would only result in expense to the city. as
Elbourn had said he would be guided by the
advice Of the legal department.
'Of course. l will do the best can In the
matter" said MIR. Breen, but there is
nothing to be done. The case has already
been threshed out in the courts, and it was
held such a resolution was of no effect 1t
came up when the county commissioners let
contract for county printing to the Klopp-
Bartlett company and to the Omaha Print
ing company when the Festner company
was the lowest DluOeI. lnlS latter COln-
pany was refused the printing because it
could not use the label and the head of the
company at once went into the court and
secured a mandamus against the commits
sioners and got the printing. At that time
the other two companies used the label.
Injunction Not Necessary.
Mr.. Herdman went over this matter with
Elbourn and he said he would act on the
advice of this department, there was no
use i'm any one getting out a restraining
order. But OF course If Mr. Elbourn can
get any political capital out of his move
all right. This department doesn't care
anything about that We will at all times
follow the law and interpret it TO the best
Of our ability whether 1t is to the interest
of any one politically or not. IL Mr.. Ell
bourn thinks he has put us up against a
political proposition that We will shirk he
il badly of. He should have known as
well as we did that he would have been
enjoined II he tried to insert that provi-
sion in the advertisement for bids for print
| ing. And If he did not want to make a
I little political capital out OF It he might
! have come to this department for an opin-
ion before he rushed into print and said

BIGGER YEAR IN BUILDING
Next TweIve-Month Expected TO Sur
pass Enormous Records of
the Old Year.

Real estate men feel the effect Of the APP
preaching holidays on their business. One
dealer puts the situation thus:
Business Is dull as IT usually is around
the holidays. Men in all lines of business
have more than they can do to handle their
work. and consequently have no time left
TO buy or sell real estate. 1 am having
fewer inquiries than ! have had for long
time. In two or three weeks there will be
more doing"
1t Is the general opinion among the real
estate men that next year will see more
activity IN their line than has been expert
enced since the old boom days. They look
forward TO 1906 as a year Of larger building
activity than 1906.

In its intrinsic value, the standard, when
pure indeed, by which all other values are
measured. that It is practically ready mon
ey. Hence the utmost care is needed In
its handling and transportation from place

more courage than the CRATER, who, polit-
ically protected, gets IL out of city con-
tracts; but. once secured. It IS just as good
It IS silent and tells no tales, and II passes
current everywhere all over the world. So
great. indeed. is the need of watching the
vast sums which pour into the minis that
Uncle Sam refuses the responsibility so lar

lets the owners of the precious metal do

1t is thought to jar the theorists who

maintain that the government can actually

money II wants to, to reflect that, with the
exception of the defective coins above re-
ferred to, none of the gold which flows into

gold II simply receives the metal from any

though there is a cost charge for the alloy

not in checks or drafts
Considerable gold has been shipped to the
Philadelphia mint recently. 100000 worth
