RIDICULE HEAPED ON MEMBERS (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. t. -(Special -Actlon of the State Normal Board In having the cornerstone of the Peru Normal building Inscribed with the names of officers of the board before these had been elected. Id conformity with the slate as arranged by the majority has made the board the butt of much Jesting, especially when the machine Jumped a cog and Dan Morris was elected prewldent Instead of the slate candidate FreMdont Vlele. Then In order to make the record clear to a title on th cornerstone for Vlele, the board al-1 lowed the latter to assume the chair and act as president at the meeting Monday, the president defuncto stating when he iook me cnair mat nr, Morns naa noi i said whether he would accept the preel- I dency or not. After Viele had called the I meeting to order and one of tho quartet had moved to make the election of Morris unanimous; then the latter was allowed to preside as the board president. Now comes a bunch of normal board vouchers to the office of the Hate auditor, two of them signed by Mr. Morri as president of the board, under date of June 23, several weeks before the late "unanimous election." Tha question naturally arise what kind of a stunt th board ha been trying to pull off. Has It gone into vaudeville or Is it trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. If the board considered that Morris waa not president until st Monday, why is his name signed to vouchers under date of June 23? If he was president when he signed the vouch er on June 23 what right had Vlele to preside at the meeting on August 2? Is the board attempting to ride two horses, each going In opposite directions, or what is it trying to do. ( SEWARD FARMERS PLAN TO BUY FINE DAIRY STOCK SEWARD, Neb.. Aug. 6. (Special.)
