School was forgotten and groups of the
teachers and others got acquainted" dur
ing the evening. The only time when all
the teachers of Omaha are able to get to-
gether is in such gathering and at bust
ness meetings when weightier things than
mere social ways are engrossing their
minds. And, truly, the crowd was of men
and women with ideas to express and the
conversational buzz did not slacken all
evening. Several of the teachers who
have retired from service and are now on
the pension roll of the Omaha school de-
partment renewed old ties at the reception.

CLOSING UP THE LITIGATION

Getting Together ON the Drainage
Proposition in johnson County.
TECUMSEH, Neb., June 16.-(Special.)-
Supervisors Of Drainage District No, 1 OF
Johnson county seek TO have the pending
litigation against the district terminated.
The supervisors took the matter up with
Judge j. b. Raper and following the sub
mission of the required testimony the
Judge entered a decree, cancelllng the as
sessment for drainage purposes made by
the old board against the property owners
along the Nemaha river In this county,
This action was taken by reason of aver ed
defective notice having been given 10 the
land owners, and for the further reason
that it seemed TO the court 1t would be
inequitable to confirm the assessment on
the small number of land owners who did
appear.
Members of the new board made a show
ing to the court that it Is their Intentions
to prepare new plans for the uItoh and
that a deep, narrow canal win be pro-
vided. The estimated cost of the ditch
through the county was originally t240.O 600
The injunction pending was made per-
manent as to the Pollard-Campbon Dreds-
ing company Of Omaha, which concern
claims 10 have beer given the contract fol

MAINE EXPLOSION PROVES
GREATER THAN EXPECTED

HAVANA, June 16.-That the shatterinR
of the hull OF the battieship Maine is evil
IDENTIFY far greater than supposed was re-
vealed yesterday afternoon. Superficial OBJ
servation was made possible by the lower
ing Of the water level in the cofferdam a
total depth of seven feet
On account of this unforeseen revelation
of the terrific character of the explosion
which sent the battleship to the bottom
of the harbor, all plans heretofore proposed
for dealing with the ultimate removal OF
the hull have become merely conjectural
until considerably greater amount OF
water has been pumped out As the water
receded today, every successive foot re-
vealed worse and worse conditions in thai
portion of the hull forward Of amidship.
which was subjected to the main force OF
the explosion The bow section is still
nearly twenty feet below the surface and
here, 1t is believed. the destruction will be
found to be more complete.
Colonel Black OF the engineer corps said
this evening that he had reasonable ex-
pectation Of lowering the water a total
depth Of eighteen or twenty feet within
three or four days, which would render
possible a fairly complete exploration OF
all portions of the ship where men were
likely to have been on the night OF the
disaster, except the bow.
1t is probable that the searchers may
be able to enter the officers quarters In
the after structure tomorrow, where the!
may find the body Of Ensign Merritt, tbs
only officer missing, the body Of Lieu
tenant Jenkins, the only other officer
killed, having been recovered from the
torpedo chamber shortly after the en-.

st. Louis Fire Costs
Five Manufacturing
Companies 81, 100000
Ten Thousand Spectators Delay Fast
Mail Trains-Spark from Switch
Engine Starts Flames.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. June 16.-Losses con-
servatively estimated at more than s. ,Ooo-
900 were sustained in fire which ragged
four hours last night in a manufacturing
district bordering for four blocks the
terminal railroad yards in the southwest
ern part OF the city.
The plants Of the Hutting Sash and Door
company. Fathman & Miller Planning Mil
company, Missouri Stair company, Koken
iron works. a subsidiary Of the American
Bridge company, and the Mound City Box
company we're practically wiped out
What appears to be the most reliable
theory as to the origin Of the fire is that
It started in the Hutting plant from a
spark, emitted by a switching locomotive.
Twenty-Five engine companies and all
available pipe lines owned by the city fire
department were employed in battling with
the fire. That there were no accidents is
considered by the police as remarkable, as
the crowd OF spectators, comprising more
than 10000 persons, congregated in the rail-
road yards, where switching engines we're
hurTying to and fro pulling rolling stock
out of the reach OF the flames. The crush
Of spectators became so great that police
reserves we're dispatched to the scene TO
clear the tracks for fast mail trains,
which were delayed for an hour or two.
Tenants OF more than fifty flats and
dwellings left their domiciles, carrying all
they could Of their possessions when II
was thought their homes were doomed.
This exodus was found later to have been
unnecessary, as veering winds carried the
flames in another direction.
At 1880 o'clock the fire still was burn
ing. but the fire chief declared his men
had the situation IN hand and that, barring
a strong wind, there would be no further
spread OF the flames

Teachers, heads Of departments, prin-
cipals and members Of the Board OF Edu-
cation of Omaha at Happy Hollow Thurs

Davidson, and his family At the same
time the hand of welcome was stretched
out by all In reception to Prof. E. U. Graft,
who will be the superintendent of Omaha's
schools following Mr.. Davidson.
The affection with which DR.. Davidson
was regarded by those whom he had d.
rected and with whom he had worked in
his years in Omaha was brought out not
only by the number who attended the fare
well reception (for there were more than
500 people present), but in the hearty man
ner in which each man and woman wished
him success and happiness in his new
position. And the expressions OF regret
passing between DR.. Davidson and those
whom he was leaving contained real depth
Of feeling.
Mrs. w. NJ. Davidson and Miss Helen
Davidson daughter of the superintendent
and now Vassar student, also said good
bye to their many friends among the
Omaha school people by means OF the re-
esiving line at the reception.
Greeting for New superintendent.
Although they were saying goodbye to
their superintendent OF years, the welcome
extended to r. U. Graft. the new superin-
tendent. was none the less cordial. Scores
Of those who shook the hand Of Prof Graft
last evening had known him in his work as
principal Of the Omaha High school, and
a word OF congratulation was part OF
their welcome. Mrs. Graft and Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred C. Kennedy were the other
members of the receiving line
II had flattered myself to the degree OF
believing that therV would be some sorry
that was leaving. but such an ovation as
this makes me doubly sorry that 1 go. My
years in this city have been more than
pleasant ones and II viii always seem like
home TO me-" he said.
! Representatives OF all the educational
influences of Omaha were present at the
reception. 1t was one Of the social meet
| ings OF years when all of Omaha's teachers

KILLING FISH WITH DYNAMITE
work Being Carried On in the Cedar
River in Iowa.

"OrA neing Carried On in the Cedar
River in Iowa.
CHARLES CITY, Ia, June 16-(special. }
For some time there has been talk in re-
gard to the fish dying in the streams In
this section OF the state and the probable
cause 1t has been laid to sewerage and
to gas and dozen other things, but the
condition at one place would not correspond
to the condition at another.
It is known that the cause of the death
OF 50 many fish in the Cedar river between
here and Nashau is dynamiting. The men
select obscure places in the stream and do
their blasting after midnight, so as to ere
ate as little disturbance as possible.
