Tlio plans of the majority of the Board of
Education to postpone tlio election of a super
intendent of schools were successfully carried
out last night. The letter of Prank n.
Cooper , In which he declined to accept the
position , was read , and Tukey moved that It
bo placed on file and that the board proceed
to ballot for n superintendent. Hut the ma
jority was not ready for such procedure , an3
the motion was promptly amended to strike
out the voting clause. The amendment car
ried and the ballot was Indefinitely postponed.
Applications for the position of superintend
ent of schools were then submitted and
placoJ on flic. They were from L. L I. .
Hanks , superintendent of schools , Kansas
City , Mo ; 12. M. Van Petteu , superintendent
of schools , HloomlnRton , III , James C. Hlock ,
recently superintendent of schools , .Michigan

nrroiiT TO ELCCT LEWIS. .
Just before the board adjourned the mi
nority made another futile effort to secure
notion. Mr. Tukej said that the minority
members were as much Marble men as ever ,
but they recognized the fact that to further
delay llio selection of a superintendent waste
to endanger tlio Interests of the schools. It
was more than time that the matter was set
tled , and In order to settle all differences the
minority was willing to come more than half
way. If the majority would permit a ballot
to bo taken It would give up Dr. Marble
and present a new candidate In tlio.person of
Prof. Homer P. Lewis of the High school.
Mr. Ttikey's eloquence was wasted , however ,
and his motion to proceed to ballot was
promstly voted down
The committee on heating nnd ventilation
reported on the petition for the reinstate
ment of Mrs. Amanda Zeiglor m Janitor of
tlio Davenport school by recommending that
she be elected Janitor at the Piea&int school
The report \\as adopted and Mrs. Zelgler was
elected. On recommendation of the same
committee the petitions for the reinstate
ment of Mrs Mary McCausland as Janitor at
Tort Omaha school and W C Lavvton as
Janitor at Long Annex were phced on ( lie.
The bonds of J M. Qlllan as secretary and
C. It. Southard as custod.an of supplies were

IJOLLN'S UONUSMDN COMPLAIN.
A communication from the bondsmen ol
Henry Uolln called the attention of the boan' '
to the fact \luit \ a bill of $ CGG 3 ! > In favor ol
J. O'Dgnaline for work done for Bolln had
been received as part payment for O'Dona'
huo's license last December The boudsmei
took the ground that he had no right to paj
his license In this way anu requested tht
board Jib make a demand on Mr. O'Donahm
for the amount The request was referred
to the Judiciary committee and the attorney
The committee on High school recom
menJed that the chemistry department bi
moved from the t'llrd to the fourth floor , am
that the room bo partitioned and rearrange !
at en expense of not more than Jl.OOO. Sev
eral jncmbers objected to the expenditure o
such an amount for such a purpose at thl
time. Pro , ' . Turner of the High school ex
plained that the present laboratory nccommo
ilatloiiE wpre not sulllcjent to accommojat
next year's class. If the robm on the fourt :
floor was fitted up according to 'the rccom
mendatlon ref the committee n woull b
largo enough to serve the desired purpose fen
n number of vears to come. The matter wa
referred to the committee on buildings am
property.
Tlio commercial department of the HIg ]
school was. ordered transferred to the Pleat ,
nnt school. This was on recommendation o
the committee o.nd Prof. Lewis as a measur
to ecOrfomlze room In the High school build
Ing.
NEW TEACHERS ELECTED.
L. McCartney resigned his poslton a
teacher In the High school. II
claimed the salary was too small
, The resignation was accepted and th
'
board p'rflcacded Jo elect teachers to fill thl
nnd other'positions made vacant by prevlou
resignations. Prrf. J T Woolcry of the Lin
coin Hgh ) school was elected teacher of an
clcnt langinges. Prof H N Illike of the In
stltuto for the Deaf teacher of English , nnl
Otto Sttfrak of Cleveland , 0 , as director o
the study room.
This Was not accomplished without the In
Jectlon of a certain amount of discord Into th
deliberations of the board Mr Sterak wa
recommended by n minority of the HIg
school committee for the department of un
clcnt languages. At that time Clmlrnm
Thomas , who recommended Prof. Woolerj
said that he had a report In which Mr. Steral
was recommended for another position In th
High Echool. 0n this representation Prol
Woolery was elected , and then after rccom
mending Prof. IJIaKe Mr. Thomas stated tha
ho had no further report. Then there was a
Indignant protest from the members who ha
voted for Woolciy on the supposition tin
Sterak was to have a place also , and Thoma
was accused of unfair dealing with the boan'
There was n long and somewhat acrlmonlou
discussion , after which Thomas recommemto
Sterak and ho was elected.
There was another muss on the matter o
salaries. Thomas recommended that Wooler
and Blake be paid ? S50 per year and Stera
$700 , Lowe amended to make It a stralgli
JSOO aplcco , and after an unsuccessful al
tempt to get together , the question of salar
was laid over for one week.
A resolution by Tukey directed the nttornc
to prepare a statement of facts relative t
the controversy between the treasurer of th
board and certain banks In regard to the dc
posit of school money In banks having Ics
than $200.000 In capital stock , and present th
same to Judges Kejsor , Dntllo nnd Hopcwe
of the district court In order to obtain a dc
clnlnn on the question. Adopted.
President Akin called the attention of th
board to ( lie-fact that the Midland State ban
had refused to pay over $10,000 In schot
money now on deposit , on tlio pica that It hu
a counterbalance against ex-Treasurer liolli
It was decided that It would not bo advlsabl
to take any action In the matter at present.
