All-wool Novelty Suitings in fancy division of the motion, and moved that the board proceed at once to. the election of an engineer. Mr. Davis promptly registered the further objection that eerions charges had been preferred against one of the candidates, and that in a. matter where the highest expert skill was demanded in the manipulation of a costly engine, the board had no right to elect an engineer without the fullest investigation of his qualifications.

Mr. Webb called attention to the fact that the applications and recommendations had been on file ever since August 28, and that it was the custom to appoint the High School engineer by October 1, as the engine should be In runnig order to heat and ventilate the building when the first rains should chill the air. The election was called for by four votes, Mr. Davis and Mr. Conrey voting no.

The: applicants were: C. B. Story, W. A. Smith, the former engineer; J.

H. Patterson, S. E. Belcher, J. W.

Sprague and A. O. Gale. Poor spoke In favor of Mr. Smith, urging that he was a veteran with one arm; that he had given satisfaction, and that-he needed the position; but, as It appeared that Mr.

Smith had withdrawn his name as a candidate, the exact meaning of the speech in bis favor was not quite clear, the only apparent explanation being that he was a citizen of the First Ward. Finally, the vote was taken, and O. Gale was elected by four votes. Davis declined to vote, and Mr. Con-' rey voted for S.

E. Belcher. I The matter of the superintendent's clerk was taken up, and Miss Grace Kingsley was reappointed to the position. The meeting then adjourned. An Able Composition.

Reports of Committees and Routine Business. A special meeting of the Board of Education was held last night for the transaction of routine business and the election of an engineer for the High School. The proceedings were unusually peaceful, not to say dull, and everything slid along as smoothly as a toboggan on a hillside.

Only six members of the board answered the roll-call, as Messrs, Mathis, Braly and Bartlett are out of town. Mr. Poor was voted into the chair and the board proceeded to the consideration of the regular routine business. A communication 'from George D. H.

Heath, agent for the "Dustless" floor-dressing, was read and ordered filed. Mr. Heath urged that the "Dustless" compound was Just the thing for the city schools, as it gives the floors a hard finish, without grease, and does away with all dust. The finance Committee reported that it had examined and approved bills to the amount of $1218.57 out of the county fund, and 13677.78 from the city fund. It was moved and carried that the report be adopted and warrants Issued for the amounts.

The report of the Building Committee was read and adopted. This report recommended that a cement sidewalk be laid along the front and leading to the steps of the Amelia-street school, and that the contract for doing the work be awarded to Odemar who are now laying sidewalks on adjoining property. The following report of the Industrial and Educational Committee was received and adopted: "The Committee on Industrial Education, to whom was referred the matter of placing a turning lathe in the basement of the High School for the use of the scientific and Sloyd department, beg leave to report: "That after a careful examination, both of the room and heads of the two departments, we find that a lathe such as will be required can easily be placed In position to accommodate the needs of the school at an expense of about $150. That It would not only be useful and convenient, bu a saving to the department, as many pieces of apparatus used in the scientific department could be made at little cost, which now have to be purchased. "Your committee would recommend the purchase of the necessary machinery, and also that after the same has been placed in position, the room be partitioned off with matched The report of the Committee on Furniture, Repairs, Fuel and Building Supplies, recommending that the contract should be given to W.

P. Fuller for all manner of supplies dealt in by that firm, was read and A communication from the Finance Committee was read and approved. It recommended that an assessment of $1.50 each be levied on property-owners to pay the balance due for the widening of New Main street from Thirty-seventh to Slauson street, in accordance with a communication received from John H. Drain, Street Superintendent, and that the president and secretary be authorized to sign the deed. Superintendent Foshay made the following report concerning the first day of the school year of 1897-98: "The total enrollment for today is 15,030, an increase of 1254 over the enrollment of the first day of last year.

The greatest increase is in the High School. We also find several others very much over-crowded. In caring for the increase in schools already overcrowded, great difficulties are presented. We expect however, to be able to readjust the numbers, and by opening some half-day sessions, to relieve the congested conditions as they now exist." The superintendent explained that the attendance on opening day was not as large as had been expected, but this he attributed to the combined influence of the Jewish holiday and the coming circus. The report was received and placed on file.

The Committee on Schools and Teachers reported as follows: "We recommend that Misa Etta Conner, Miss Emma Bacon and Miss Gertrude Venning, heretofore elected as substitute teachers, be elected regular "That Tulle M. Oswald, Annie M. Ellsworth, Susan H. Reeves and Mary Junkin be elected substitute teachers. "That Miss Etta Conner be assigned to room three, Vernon school; that Miss Jennie Perley be assigned to the fourth grade, Eighth-street school; that Miss Grace Barnes be assigned to Second-street kindergarten as director; that Miss Ruth Allyn be transferred from Ninth-street school to Union-avenue kindergarten, as assistant; that Miss Alice Gray be assigned to Ninth-street kindergarten, as director, afternoon session, and that Margaret Harris be assigned to Ninth-street kindergarten as assistant; that Jessie A.

Mc-Gaw be transferred front First-stree't kindergarten to Twenty-eighth street, as director, morning session, and that Mrs. Hannah Harcus be appointed director In the same scho.ol, afternoon session; that Miss Hattie M. White be transferred from Seventh street to First street, as director; that Miss Clara M. Ellis be made director of the kindergarten at Seventh street, morning session; that Miss Winona Huntley be transferred from Twenty-eighth street to Seventh street, as director, afternoon session; that C. J.

Fox be transferred from Ann-street school to Ouster-street school, eighth grade; that Miss Gertrude Venning-be assigned to Union-avenue school, fifth grade; that Mss Carrie M. Blanford be transferred from Union-avenue school to Amelia-street, fifth grade; that Miss Myrtle G. Oliver be transferred from fifth grade second grade in Amelia-street school; that an additional room be opened at Highland Park school; that an additional room for the eighth grade be added to the Thirtieth-street school; that Miss Emma Bacon be assigned to the new room at Highland Park School." The report was adopted. A little later In the proceedings the same committee filed the following supplemental report, which was also adopted: "We, your Committee on Teachers and Schools, further recommend that Miss Ada F. Blanchard and Miss Lizzie E.

Batchelder be elected as regular teachers of Sloyd and assigned as follows: Miss Ada F. Blanchard to' the Sloyd room at Twenty-eighth-street school; Miss Lizzie Batchelder be assigned to the Sloyd room at Spring-street school, and that Miss Hattie F. Gower be transferred from the Twenty-eigth-street school to the Grlf-fln-avenue school." Under the head of unfinished business the first breeze rippled the calmness of the hitherto peaceful proceedings. Mr. Webb moved that the offices of engineer at the High School and superintendent's clerk be filled.

Mr. Davis objected to this and moved that the motion be separated, for the reason that, while the appointment of a stenographer for the superintendent was merely a routine matter, the election of an engineer for the High School demanded a closer Investigation than the mere acceptance of statements made by the candidates and their friends. Mr. Webb made no objection to the Just received a gTeat assortment of Dutch and French flowering bulbs, such as hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, jonquils, crocus.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. California Taking a Back Seat at Omaha. Manager Bruce of the department of buildings at the Omaha Exposition has written to Secretary Wiggins of the Chamber of Commerce to say that Florida has reserved 10,000 square feet of space for her exhibit, and that California Is being left far behind.

She could not stand on her feet or get in any position but what she suffered great earing-down pain. a I had several different physicians to treat her without any permanent relief. She despaired of ever again being well.

She saw an advertisement of your 'Favorite Prescription' and spoke to me about it. I got her a bottle which she soon found was helping her: so she kept on till she had taken six bottles. Since taking the last she has not suffered a moment with the old trouble. She has been well nearly twelve months. The Favorite Prescription was all the medicine she took.

She is in good health and we are happy." For constipation, there is no cure so perfect as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
