Hoard of Kducatlon. 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.
Nearly ull tho Lincoln teachers have pet
iriiincnt homes in this city nnd Hpend moKt
of their salaries here. Soino of thene h vo
been summarily discharged by tho superin
tendent nnd In nearly every case their
place were filled by teachers from Chi
cago or some other city.
Another leform proposed by Supcrln
tendc.nl (lordon that mot with decided ami
almost unanimous opposition, not onl;
among school patrons but among the mem
born of the Hoard of Kdiiciitloti, was to
cnticentrato nil seventh, eighth and ninth
grades nt two central buildings. 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.

called on Secretary Porter yesterday and
presented a claim for 1270. This nmount
ho claimed as tho balance due him for pre
paring an Index for tho senate Journal de
stroyed somo time ago In the North Arc.
Tho property Is of no vnlue to the state
now, as It will not correspond with the
piges of the new Journal being prepared by
Maggie Kocie. Secrctnry Porter refused to
approve tho claim until ho had consulted
tho legal department of tho state. Deputy
Attorney General Oldham wns of the opinion
that since the legislature had appropriated
$300 lo pay for prepnrlng tho index, and
since Morgan had done the work he ha 1
agree 1 to do, there was nothing to do but
allow bis claim. Therefore. Mr. Porter
withdrew his objections, Auditor Cornell
drew a warrant. Treasurer Meserve cashed
the paper and Morgan returned home happy.

It is just ns easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the etui is entuilly sure. It is the
gradual progress of drifting which blinds
to the dourer Meti and women drift into
ijl-henlth in such a way. 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.
