up the request of teachers for increased
salaries Immediately and to work out the
matter to a conclusion. The petition is in

one of a willingness to advance salaries.

BUSINESS FOR NEW BOARD
Bids for County Printing and Sup
plies to De before Commits
sioners on Tuesday.

After meeting and organizing next Tues
day morning the Board of County Commits
sioners will proceed to open the dozen or
more bids for county printing already in
the hands of County Clerk Haverly. These
bids were all put in before January i to
comply with the statutory requirement.
As the many bids for supplies TO be used
by the county during 1906 have already been
tabulated and canvassed by the commission
ers, 1t is not unlikely that they, too, will
be taken up for consideration.
The matter of appointments to be made
by the board is not expected to receive
much attention until after the commission
ers have disposed of the yearly contracts,
and any other business that may need early
attention. In any event, before any action
at all the various county officers will be
given opportunity to present to the board
/ their views as to the needs of their respec-
tive offices in the way Of help.

ONE WEEK AHEAD OF TINE
Republican City Committee Will Not Meet
Probably Until Next Saturday.
HOW TO NOMINATE coUNClLMEN QUESTION
Opinion differs as 20 Naming Then
from Wards or Selecting
Them from City mt
Large.

Notwithstanding the fact that the local
democratic organ announced a meeting of
the republican city committee for saturday
to take up the question as to whether
councilmen should be nominated by wards
or at large no meeting will be held. 1t
is true 1t is the imitation of Chairman
Cowell to call the committee together but
not until next week and probably on next
Saturday.
The sole purpose of the session will be
to thresh out the mooted point about the
nomination of councimen. 1t is not clear
the city committee has any authority in
the premises at all. since the primaries are
in most respects under the direction of
the city clerk. according to the new Dodge
law, which is to be tried in Omaha city
politics for the first time. However, as
the law is silent regarding the choosing
of councilmanic candidates by wards or
the entire city, not a few politicians and
men of affairs reason that in the absence
of specific provision the party committee
should and has the right to make the
rules.
Legal Opinion Asked.
Attorneys have been asked by Chairman
Cowell to look into the matter carefully
from a legal standpoint, 50 that when the
committee meets there will be studied
opinions to present. The chairman has had
many calls from councimanic aspirants
seeking to get his views on the point The
men who are classed as veteran politicians
are generally in favor of nomination by
wards. Those who are new at the game
| and claim to stand for reforms Of various
kinds, regardless of factionalism, prefer to
| try their chances with the whole town.
| One of the leaders of this squad is Presi-
dent Zimman of the council, who will try
| for a third term.
The chairman of the committee inclines
| rather towards the nomination-at-large
| idea, although he has not definitely COM
| mitted himself He takes the view that a
| councilman of necessity represents the
| whole city and can't get away from the
proposition that therefore he should be
| nominated by all of the members of his
| party in the city. He thinks the opinion
of City Attorney Breen a logical one.
| II the city clerk decides the question It
| will be in favor of nominations at large.
| Whoever decides 1t and whichever way II
is decided. final adjudication probably will
| be in court, as the legal questions involved
make 1t quite possible to establish case
there for either side.
But the committee meeting will be next
! week; not today.

TAXES ARE STILL COMING IN

Receipted For by Treasurer
HenninKs.

That the public does not seriously ques-
ton the right Of city Treasurer HenninGs
to act in that capacity, pending the settle
ment Of the charter case in the supreme
court. is shown by the continued payment
OF taxes and the acceptance of receipts for
the same. Friday, the day after the con-
solidation with the country treasury was
ordered by charter, SS0S.54 was received in
taxes in the treasurer's office, which is
about the usual daily run at this period.

tee of presidents of the anthracite coal

ellis recent amended prupo.;tiou oe or
bitration. The operators do not, how
ever, refuse point blank to accept Mr..
Mitchel's latest plan. They assert
that all the differences between the
miners and their employers have been
decided by the strike commission and
that there is no reason why another
attempt should be made to arbitrate
them. The operators aver that the
miners have rejected all the PROPOSE
tons and that they have nothing fur

Steamers Saxona and Eugene thinner.
man In Collision in 500 Passage.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, April H.
The most disastrous marine collision
in many years in the 500 passage &C.
CURED during the day when the steel
steamers Saxona and Eugene thinner
man came together at the foot of the
dyke. The Saxona was just making
the turn at that point when she COL
lided with the Zimmerman, striking
the latter twenty feet back of the bow
on the port side, crushing through the
steel sides as far as the pilothouse
and twisting the stem badly.
The Zimmerman sank at once in
twenty feet of water on the Canadian
side of the river. The crew are safe.
The Saxona continued on down the
river as far as Little Mud lake, where
she filled and sank on the west side
Of the river. Before going to the bot
tom the Saxona swung around and
now lies with her bow pointing up
stream. The channel is not blocked
by the accident. The Saxona was
bound down from Duluth with a valu-
able cargo Of laxseed. The thinner
man was taking a load of coal to Lake
Superior.
Both steamers are among the high
est class of lake craft and the loss to
the insurance companies having risks
On hulls and cargoes will be heavy.

THREE MEN KILLED
SEVERAL OTHER PERSONS ARE
WOUNDED DURING A RIOT
AT WlNDBER, PA.

Jo%hnstown, Pa, April 17.-After
weeks of anxiety the situation brought
about by the controversy of the coal
miners with the operators eliminated
during the night in a riot at Windber,
near this city, which finally ended in
bloodshed. Three are dead and a num-
Der are injured and throughout the
night the town was patrolled by armed
guards. The shooting was brought on
by an assault upon the Jail made by
striking miners, who attempted to res.
cue comrades who had been placed
under arrest. The riot occurred in the
early hours Of the night and continued
for several hours, working the resi-
dents to such a pitch that the night
was one of terror.
The dead are principally foreigners
and were miners who were out on
strike. They are Pietro Martini, An
tonic Mazuca and Paul Zills, who was
the leader of the mob. Curtis Kester,
ten years old, a bystander, was shot
through the bowels. His condition is
serious and he will probably die. When
the deputies fired on the mob they
fled, leaving three of their number on
the ground dead, and, the strikers re.
fusing to permit the undertakers to
remove the bodies, the latter remained
where they fell until morning.
