DAHLNAN SPURNS FORTUNE
Mayor Rejects Offer Of MilliOns to Become
secretary Of Interior.
WILL BE IN WILLIAM J, BRYAN CABINET
Friends from TonaPah Beseeoh IN
vain that Our Jim Abandon
Chase for Fame and
Accept Wealth.

John Tinnan and John Carey dropped In
on Mayor Dahlman Saturday morning. The
two Johns we're just from Tonopah and
brought tidings Of one Charles Evans who,
when last met by the mayor, was earning
weekly pittance as hotel clerk in Rush
Vile, Neb. Evans made stake Of $4,000
in Lead, s. D., and later lost this bagatelle
between dawn and darkness one day
Messrs Tinnan and Carey told the mayor
that Evans Is now in Tonopah and worth
81 10000.
That beats being mayor and issuing
proclamations." exclaimed Mayor Jim, as
he began to comprehend what 100000
roll looked like tucked away in a pocket.
Mr.. Tinnan said the banks in Tonopah
had ss.OOOOOO now on deposit for clients
who wanted to have a little spending
money laid away in case reverses struck
them and the railroad tracks were crowded.
Mayor Jim, however, has no inclination
to HE Tonopahward. He says he will finish
out his term as mayor of Omaha and hopes
to get a cabinet position when Bryan be-
comes president Of these United States.
Jim Secretary of Interior.
This is on the square," said Mayor
James. IT'S all fixed Bryan will be
elected, Dick Metcalfe will be secretary of
stdNs anu viii DC secretary oL the III
terror, because there isn't man in the
west who knows the work Of the Interior
department better than 1 do"
And right there and then the merits
of millions and glory were whipped out
under a fever-heat discussion. the mayor
taking the end of fame and glory and
Tinnan that of millions.
Il came to Omaha TO get you to resign
this sinking little Office of mayor, Jim,
and go with me to the west, where mil
lions await you. And you say No, I'm
going on with this game of politics. Well
it's me back to the mines, and when you
go broke at your peanut politics give me
the distress sign and I'll hand you out a
wad."

TEMPORARY ORDER STANDS
Injunction in south Omaha Board OF
Education Case IL
Sustained.

Judge Kennedy rendered judgment in the
South Omaha Board of Education con-
troversy at s:45 Saturday morning sustain
ing the temporary restraining order .5sued
on the petition of A. l.. Berquist. The only
point which was material in the opinion Of
the Judge was the force of the rule of the
board designating the time and the manner
of the election of teachers. The old rule,
he held, would be in force until 1t were
properly modified This, he claimed, had
been attempted, but had not been done in
order as prescribed by the rules touching
on such a modification. The rule for modi-
ication as adopted requires that a two
thirds vote shall be necessary to such a
change. This, in the case Of the Board
OF Education, would require four votes.
The fact that a simple majority had voted
for the new rule would not be effective.
Therefore 1t is held illegal to elect the
teachers until after the organization of the
new board.
All allegations Of conspiracy Of Improper
motives in the case were ignored by the
Judge, who thought there was no conspiracy
possible in board doing at any time what
It had right to do. Therefore the prospec-
tive meeting Of the board will be In all
probability a tame affair.
List of Teachers.
Had the board been sustained on It's
demurrer the following list of teachers
was to have been elected:

Among the many natural curios-
tiles of Arizona, but one that is not
often visited by ordinary tourists,
is the singular bowl shaped depres-
sion in Yavapi county called "Mon-
tezuma's Well" It is nearly circu-
lar and between 500 and 600 feet in
diameter at the brim. 1t lies in the
midst of a nearly level area. The
sides are vertical to depth of thir-
ty or forty feet. Below that they
merge into a sloping talus, which
extends down to a circular pool of
water, alleged by popular tradition,
as are SO many other not very deep
areas of water, to be bottomless.
This remarkable formation has usu-
ally been described as a ''pit crater
of volcanic origin, but Professor
William P. Blake believes it to be
the result Of the falling of the roof
of cavern formed in the limestone
strata by running water. The water
of the pool, he says, flows out
through a subterranean channel
into the valley of Beaver creek
New Orleans Picayune.

SHABBY PORT SAID.
"The Gateway to the East" a Cheap
and Flimsy Place.

and Flmsy Place.
After a quiet night in the roads
the dock passed into the vestibule
of the canal before the assembled
motley crew that comprises the pop
ulation Of the place. Cheap, fiimsy,
shabby Port Said-an exceedingly
inflated fake About the widest
excitement in sight that night was
a moving picture" show with al
legged comics" A ladies' brass
band was attached, and after every
spiel" the ladies gave a sweet smile
with each plate contribution. Of
course there is the Arab quarter,
which half dozen or so Cham
payne Charles that follow you
about are anxious for you to see,
but nobody goes there after night
fall.
From down at the end of the
dark, unighted streets, like the
murmurings Of a stage mob, comes
the noise Of the coaling of ships.
All day and all night they coal at
Port Said. The cell imps in
"skoits' and turban or fez keep
step with pattering feet to pro-
longed wailing yell without begin
ming and without end as beneath
baskets of dusty coal they crawl out
of the lighter up the high side of
the ship. Under the Pickering
smoky glare of great torches naked
yelling figures fill the baskets of the
endless chain that to a weird, form
less chant goes round and round up
the springy plank and back again.
As you look over the side it needs
no stretch Of fancy to lose the sense
Of the grimy coal dust, the smut
and sweat of the toilers, and see in
stead demons in a darksome pit
seraping, always scraping, the dark
ness into baskets for the wailing
lime Of their long, lean and lank
brothers, who hoist their burdens
on naked shoulders and join the
weird parade. In the ruddy glare
Of the torch their teeth show white
and their skins a dull red, only to
be swallowed up in a moment in the
dull orange glow that envelops all.
REALISTICALLY almost the ship
builds up out of the confusion be-
low Vaguely masts, rigging, fun
nels and yentilators are outlined or
touched here and there with deli
cate rosy light SO full of subtle
meaning that the entire fabric is
built up by few suggestive lights,
while the whole is repeated in still
dark waters beneath.-W. j. Ayl-
ward in Scribner's.

Prehistoric Man.

What, it is asked, was man doing
during the 1000 centuries before
history began? Mans brain was
slowly increasing in size, and its
case, the skull, was getting larger
and Of better form. The forehead
was rising and filling forward, and
the intellect was developing. Speech
was improving and manners under
going amelioratior. Animals were
being tanned, and the supply of food
was becoming more abundant and
more varied. In word, the human
being was gradually becoming fit
ted to take advantage of future dis
coveries. - London Museum Ga
