AffMting Nebraska School Interests.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction (ksudy lute officially promul
gated a number of.important decisions
affecting school interests in Nebraska.
The following is-a-sy nopsis of each de
cision:
1. There is,no statute requiring the
pay meat of school district orders in the
order in which they are drawn.
3. A contract -signed by two members
of the school .district. board, without a
meetiog of which.' all members have
hud due notice, .is • the individual con
tract of .the .members sighing such con
tract. The contract with a teacher is
made an exception, to this. See 4 Neb.
354, and 13 Neo. 70.
3. When.a.boavdr employs a man to
teach the school.-be has no right, ex
cept by the consent of the board, to
put a substitute in his place, and not
even with the consent of the board, un
less such substitute is a legally quali
fied teacher.
4. Tile .minimuip.-f'.mount of school
required must be .taught by a legally
qualified teacher in.order to entitle the
district to its .share .in the slate appor
tionment.
5. In connection with the new at
tendance law it isdield that childran
have fnne-schsol privileges in oneschooi
district .only at one time. If they elect
under the new act to.nttend outside of
their own district (they carry their
share «f .the state funds with them and
forfeit for that school year all their
rights to .free ..school privileges in tbeir
own district- They may not. under
this act, .alternate between two dis
tricts and.claim rights in both.
it The Nebraska statute authorizes
the drawing, of interests upon “all war
rants issued.by the pnrper authorities
of the state, county, city, town
or other municipal subdivisions less
than a esunty.” lfut the supreme court
lias lield that the school district “is not
strictly ajuunicipality,”.and that school
district officers.sre cot municipal offi
cers, thus making it clear that the
statute does uot authorise the payment
of interestion school district orders.
T. The action of the voters at an an
nual meeting as to the amount of school
to be held the coining year is final, and
may not .he reconsidered at a special
meeting. The board should make pro
visions for ithe holding of school in ac
cordance .w.ith said action, but in case
the voters at said meeting fail to make
provision for,carrying on said amount
of school, .and. there i s no district money
for this pur.pese, the .lioard is not per
sonally liable for any. loss of state ap
portionment .which .may result to the
district because of the failure to hold
the required minimum amount of
school. Incase such lossoccurs because
of neglect upon the part of the district
board the members of the board be
come personally liable to the district
for the amount of said loss.
8. in measuriiLg a district under the
provisions of the new attendance law
the measurements should follow air
lines, not section lines necessarily.
U. The distrietAext books are in ithe
care of the district board ithe same as
; other property, .and are subject to the
regulations of the board as to their use
by the pupils at home and during vaca
tion.

A disastrous storm SWEEPS
OVER LAKE MICHIGAN.
EIGHT VESSELS LOST OFF CHICAGO.

Tlie Schooner Cummings Goes
Down at Milwaukee and Nix of
the Crew Perish—Manufac
turing Plants Wrecked.
Chicago, 111., May 31.—The storm
which yesterday swept Lake Michi
gan was the most disastrous of recent
years. Eight vessels were driven
ashore within the city Jim its of Chi
cago and out of their crews ten men
are known to be drowned and in every
instance boat and cargo are utterly
lost. One schooner, the Myrtle, was
wrecked just outside 'the government
pier, within a half mile of Michigan
boulevarde, and six of her crew went
down to death in plain view of the
hundreds of people who lined the
lsmlevard walks, or watched the
awful storm from the windows of the
big hotels whioh-overlook the harbor.
The wrecks extended from Olencoe on
the north, whore the Lincoln Dali
wont to pieces,'to South Chicago, an
air line distance of forty miles.
The Myrtle, on which the chief loss
of life occurred, not a single man of
her ere w of-six escaping, was water
logged when-she appeared off the har
bor in the afternoon. She attempted
to anchor but was driven before the
gale and struck the schooner Evening
Star, and, drifting away from the Ev
ening Star,-she struck the schooner
Lifford, and, her bows being stove in,
she began ' to sink rapidly. She
drifted out to sea, her crew being
plainly visible, as they huddled to
gether on top of the cabin. One was
washed away, a heavy wave broke
oyer again and then only three were
visible. One of them jumped on a
plank and floated in close to the break- ,
water, -where he lost his hold and
went down. The two men on the ;
beat went down with her.

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
IU improvcmeiu Do
Ijewon—The Strike* anti Tariff.
Xww \Yokk, May 21.—R. G. Don Jc
Co^’s Weekly Review of Trade says:
“The obstacles to improvement do not
lessen. '.The strikes of coal miners
and ooke workers have not ceased,
but have caused the stoppage of
numerous .works this week and em
barrassment to some railroads. The
conference at Cleveland exhibited
much angry feelimg and wider differ*
ences than had been expected, and
seems to render agreement more dis
tant.
“Proceedings of the senate do not
indicate that: the latest form of tariff
revision has made speedy final action
probable. Yet the recuperative abil
ity of the country is so great that the
volume of business transacted is large,
and seems surprisingly so under the
circumstances, notwithstanding influ
ences which in any other land would
cause dire disaster.
Ex-ConfreMwiu Clark Serlon*ljr III.
Washixotox. .May 31.—Ex-Congress
man John B. Clark, Missouri, is lying
in a critical condition in a private
hospital in this city. A week
ago he was compelled to submit
| to a serious surgical operation
jifor kidney trouble. It was the
first operation of the kind ever per
formed in the national .capital. While
the physicians express hopes of
his recovery, his condition is such that
hie family have not vet been admitted
to ,his bedside. General Clark was
for six years the representative of the
Sedfilia district, and for the same
number of years clerk of the house of
representatives. After his defeat for
re-el«ction ho remained in this city,
:ind lately was appointed a clerk in
the supervising architect's office.
Iron and Steel Worker* U*| Strike.
Clkvkj.and, Ohio. May 31.—Presi
dent M. M. Garland of the Amalga
mated association, speaking in regard
of the probability of a strike of iron
and steel workers, said: “Of course, I
do not know what strikes will occur
this year, because the convention has
not not reached that order of business
in Which the policy of the ensuing
year is to be outlined, but judging
from the policy of the past it will be
pretty safe to conelude that if all mill
owners refuse to sign the scale then
there will be it nutlonel strike.’’
I
MEASURES FOR THE NAVY.
Mr. Mayer’* Good Work for United State*
Seaman—Chance* fur Promotion.'
Washington-, May 21.—The activity
of Representative Meyer of Louisiana
in urging a reorganization of the
personnel of the navy is earning for
him the title of “the sailors' friend.”
lie was instrumental in securiug the
creation of a joint committee of the
senate and house to secure a re
organiation j»f the navy, and he has
since become an energetic member
of that committee.
Mr. Meyer first turned his attention
to reorganizing the lower grades of
the navy. lie has drafted a bill for
this purpose, which was considered by
the joint committee to-day. One of
the mpin features is the providing of
means of steady advancement from, the
enlisted ranks up to a commission as
officer. The old world navies provide
for such advancement, but it is a
singular feature of the American sys
tem that an enlisted sailor can never
hope to gain a commission. The pro
posed bill creates a number of grades
through which sailors may pass in a
gradual advance toward commission.
These grades include classes in ord
nance, torpedoes and electricity, sig
nals 'and helmsmen to be known as
the military classes of the navy.
Other classes are grouped ‘as a
civil staff and include classes of pay
and commission, steam engineering,
mechanics, apothecaries and other civ
il branches. A method as provided bv
wnich a sailor may pass through one
or the other of these classes, -and
then, if under ilS.years of age, foe sen t
to a school-of instruction where foe is
prepared for -examination for a com
mission in the navy. .Five commis
sions as ensign are to be given an
nually in case there are vacancies over
and above those tilled from the naval
academy. Three other -commissions
are to be granted annually to the civil
corps-of the navy.
Another interesting feature of Mr.
Meyer's ’plan for i (‘organization is
that it - divides all naval ships into
divisions and -naval forces in.o bat
talions, and then apportions the ships
and forces -among six districts, into
which the coasts of the United States
are divided.
TAYUiOR MAY BE COMFIRMED.
Senator Martin Much Encouraged by an
Almost Unexpected Vote.
Washington, May 21.—Senator Mar
tin, who is C. H. J. Taylor’s backer in
icbief, feels greatly encouraged over
the 'vote yesterday afternoon in the
-senate when Taylor's nomination was
unexpectedly called up after it had
been, planned to let the case go over
mntil after the tariff bill had been
disposed of.
Although the vote was ineffectual
because of the absence of a quorum,
Taylor yet had enough votes, had the
quorum been completed with nega
tives. It is claimed in his behalf that
thevvote of 24 to 12 represents propor
tionately his strength in a full senate
and that he will be confirmed despite
the ..almost unanimous opposition of
the committee.

A MAN WITH A HISTORY.
The Terrible Experience that Befei
John W. Thomas of Theta,
Tennessee.
Afflicted With a Peculiar Disease—Hit
Body Covered With Lamps—Coaid
Mot Eat and Thought He Was Go
ing to Dry Dp—Die Recovery
the Marvel of Tennessee.
From the Nashville, Tenn., Banner.
Mr. John W. Thomas, Jr., of Theta,
Tenn., is a man with a most interest
ing history. At present he is interested
in blooded horses for which Maury
County is famous.
“Few people, I take it,” said Mr.
Thomas to a reporter who had asked
him for the story of his life, “have
passed through as remarkable a chain
of events as I have and remained alive
to tell the story.
It was along in 1884, when I was
working in the silver mines of New
Mexico, that ray troubles began; at first
1 suffered with indigestion, and so
acute did the pains become that I went
to California for my health, but the
trip did me little good, and fully im
pressed with the idea that my last day
had nearly dawned upon me, I hurried
back here to my old home to die.
“From simple indigestion my malady
developed into a chronic inability to
take any substantial food, I was barely
.able to creep about, and at times I was
prostrated by spells of heart palpita
tion. This condition continued until
'One year ago.
'wiv ix«ii ui npui, io'jj, i buuueuiy
collapsed, and for days 1 was uncon
scious, in fact I was not fully myself
until July. My condition on Septem
ber 1st, was simply horrible, I weighed
but seventy pounds, whereas my nor
imal weight is 105 pounds. All over
■my body there were lumps from the
size of a grape to the size of a walnut,
my fingers were cramped so that I could
not more than half straighten them.
I had entirely lost control of my lower
limbs and my hand trembled so that I
could not drink without spilling the
liquid. Nothing would remain on my
stomach, and it seemed that I must dry
up before many days had passed.
“I made another round of the physi
cians, calling in one after the other,
and by the aid of morphine and other
medicines-they gave me, I managed to
live though barely through the fall.”
Here Mr. Thomas displayed his arms,
and just above the elbow of each there
was a large irregular stain as large as
the palm of the hand and of a purple
color, the space covered by the mark
was sunken nearly to the ■ bone.
“That,” said Mr. Thomas, “is what the
doctors did by patting morphine into
me.
“On the 11th of December, 1893, just
eight months after 1 took permanently
to bed—I shall never forget the date—
my cousin, Joe Foster, of Carter’s
Creek, called on me and gave me a box
of Dr. YY’illiams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, saying they had cured him of par
tial paralysis, with which I knew he
had all but died. I followed his direc
tions and began taking the medicine,
as a result 1 stand before you to-day the
most surprised man on earth. Look at
my hand, it is as steady as yours; my
face has a healthy look about it; I have
been attending ito my duties for a
month. Since I began taking the pills
I have gained 30 pounds, and I am still
gaining. All the knots have disap
peared from my body esoept this little
kernel here in my palm. 1 have a good
appetite and I.am almost as strong as 1
ever was
“Yesterday I rode thirty-seven miles
on horseback. 1 feel tired to-day but
not sick. 1 used -to have from two to
four spells of heart palpitation every
night; since I 'began the use of the pills
1 have had but four spells altogether.
“I know positively that I was cured
by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and.1 be
lieve firmly -that .it is the most wonder
ful remedy In existence to-day, and
every fact I have presented to you is
known to my neighbors as well as to
myself, and -the3r will certify to the
-truth of my .remarkable cure. ”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are not a patent medicine in the
sense that name implies. They were
first compounded as a prescription and
iused as such in general practice by an
eminent physician. So great was their
efficacy that it was deemed wise to
place them within the reach of all.
They are now manufactured by the Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenec
itady, N. Y.., and are sold in boxes
(never in loose form by the dozen or
'hundred, and the public are cautioned
against numerous imitations sold in
‘this shape) ;at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for S3.50. and may be had of all
-druggists.or -direct by mail from Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company.

Take human skin. and let it soak for a
time in strong tea, and it will become
leather. Now, when we remember that
the liquids which enter the stomach are
rapidly absorbed by the venous absor
bents of the stomach, and enter into the
circulation and are thrown out of the sys
tem bv the skin, lungs, and kidneys, it is
probable that a drink so common as tea,
and so abundantly nsed, will have some
effect. Can .it be possible that tannin, in
troduced with so much liquid-producing
respiration, will have no effect upon the
akin ? Look at the tea-drinkers of Bus
sia, the Chinese, and the old women of
America, who have so long continued
the habit of drinking strong tea. Are
they not dark-colored and leather*
skinned?
Auntie—Does your new doll close
its eyes? Little Ethel—Yes’m, but
she is the most wakeful child I ever

I lay her down, as she ought to. The
only way to make her go to sleep is to
stand her on her head and shake her.”
“If women got !nto congress,” said
Young Woodby Witte, every one of
them would want the last word.”
“Possibly,” replied Mrs. Peppcrton,
“but I don’t think they cuuld be any
longer in getting around to it than
some of the gentlemen who are now
trying to make our laws.”
