Yesterday was tho tomorrow. Thero were no lens than half first time In many years that the women of thin city took advantage nf their rights of franehlso to vote for school directors and It Is estimated that most of thnlr votes worn cant for thn anti-Gordon men. All sorts of charges aro m:ido against the administration nf Dr. Cordon. He is ac cused of removing teachnrB without causj nnd of employing other who arc Incom petent, with disorganizing the schools and with showing favoritism to some, while being unjustly prejudiced against others. A part of the trouble grows out of tho mv rules proposed by Superintendent (Jordon which hnvo In part been adopted by the Hoard of Kdilcatlon. Thetis rnlrn amend nn old law nf thn board ndopteil several years ago which mnkm all certificates of i certain grade permanent after three years' frrvlCH In the clly schools. majority of tho teachers now employed in tho Lin coln schools hold such certificates and until tho rule o' Superintendent (lordon was put Into effect they were alwajH recognized, lint only In Lincoln, hut In other schools In Nebraska of the name standard. lly tho new rules nil of those certificates are re voked and the te.icherH are compelled to porn a rigid examination or be discharged.

ThH would till two buildings to the exclusion .' nil either graden. It was claimed by school patronti that the Inevitable remit of carry ing this plan Into effect would be to place a heavy burden upon the parents of school children for oar fain ami to compel many puplln to walk a greater distance In cases where street oars wore not convenient. The plan was not adopted by tho board. Mi-cIkIii Clinic" Mitjor.

There m a little feeling of oppression after eating. After n time it passer, away. Some day it returns and brings another symptom headache, perhaps. Something is done to relieve the headache, but nothing to relieve the cause. So one more victim goes drifting on to the rocks of disease. Young women who are teaching or studying are very apt to become victims of disease of the stomach. They eat in judiciously, in some cases, and in gen eral the brain is loo occupied to allow the .stomach the blood necessary to carry on its functions. Hence in time the organs of digestion and nutrition are totally deranged, and the young gradu ate goes home a chronic invalid. The timely tise of Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical Discovery will avert such a con dition ; the faithful use of it in chronic cases will eflect a complete cure.
