Despite the fact that no votes, were re
corded Sunday the clerks In The Dee's
business ofllre being oft duty and at church,
It is safe to guesn that th candidates and
their friends were not Idle. Coupons caa
be clipped on Sunday as well as any other
day and they count for just as much as
eek-day coupons. When the mall Is opened
In The Dee ofllco this morning there will
rrobably be a material addition to the Ag
in es and there may be soma recruits to add
to the list of contestants.
IntiTi-flt Is liit'rrimlitir.
Now tlirtt The Hco's remarkably liberal
offer Is l)ci:iilng more generally under
blend Interest in ihe coMest Is Increasing
nnd some really spirited work will be done
b-foro the end Is reached. Thoe who are,
not thoroughly familiar with all details ot
the proposition should read the rules of the
contest carefully they appear In bold type
In the advertising department of the paper.
These rules are simple and are easily com
piled with.
In connection with the rules governing
the contest The Dee also publishes from
day to day explicit Information concerning
tho twelve trips which are offered. Read
the details of these outings and see how
really grand this offer Is.
.Success 1" Assured,
The Ileo's vacation system for deserving
young women has in former years been a
great success and this year promises to ex
ceed all previous records. One r.eason (or
this Is the (act that several (eaturcs moro
liberal than ever before have been offered
this time.
The Dee takes oft Its hat In respect to the
yoUng woman who is independent and In
dustrious enough to earn her own way In
the world and It Is a source of genuine
gratification to tho management to bo able
to offer a summer outing for twelve repre
sentatives of this highly commendable class.
Watch the papers closely, for each day Is
likely to bring forth announcements of Interest.

Modern setenco has dltcovcred that dan
druff Is caused by a germ that digs up
the scalp In scales, as It burrows down to
the roots of the hair, .where It, destroys
the hair's vitality, causing falling hair,
and, ultimately, baldness, After l'rof.
Lfnna of Hamburg, Germany, dlscovorcd tho

failed until the great, laboratory discovery

South Omaha News
There will be a meeting of tho Board of
Education tonight. Regular business will be
transacted and In case the examining board,
makes a report seventeen teachers will be
elected. Attorney Winters, one of the mem
bers of the examining board, was called
away on business n day or two ago and It
may be that tho board cannot mako a re
port at this time. Should tho report be.de
layed a meeting will doubtless be held dur
ing the week in order that those who are to
teach hero next term may be apprised of
me tact before going nwny on their sura
mer vacations.
At any rate some nrlnclnals will be se
lected. At least It was planned yesterday
to do this. There seems to be some doubt
about the selection of principals and the
patrons of tho schools nre taking a hand In
the matter. A petition with 180 names on
It will be presented to the board tonight
asKing mat Miss Sara Vore Taylor be con
tluucd ns principal of tho Lincoln school
This petition has been signed by thoso liv
ing In the vicinity of the school. It Is as
serted by the signers that the work of Miss
Taylor has been satisfactory In the extreme
Another petition Is going the rounds re
questing tho board to reappoint Mr. John
son ns principal of the Fourth Ward school
There is still another petition to be brought
to tho attention of the board, and that Is
one requesting tho purchase of the ground
on the north of the present High school
site. A committee was appointed by Presi
dent Bulla some time ago to secure prices
on this land. When a report was made by
tne committee there waB some hesitancy in
taking .action on account of the members of
tho board having no knowledge of the way
people felt in regard to the matter. The
petition to be presented will set out the
fact that tho site already In possession of
tho district Is not large enough (or High
school purposes. In order to provide for
lawns and walks about the structure it
will be necessary to secure this additional
piece of property.
With the closing of theamonth Dr. 11. K.
Wolfo will Bcvcr his connection with the
public schools here nnd retire to private
life, that Is ns far ns South Omaha Is con
cerned. Prof. McClano of Tnrklo, Mo., will
assume the duties of superintendent of nub
lie Instruction on July 1, A contract for
threo years hns been entered Into by tho
board for Prof. McClane's services for this
length of time. A great many patrons of
the schools appear to be greatly gratified at
tho change In superintendents.

There Is an Interesting fight on among
local democrats In regard to the noralna
Hon for county commissioner. Tom Hoc
tor has announced himself as a candidate
for a third term and It is stated that a
large proportion of the democracy In South
Omaha Incline to the opinion that Hoctor
has had enough. In the language of one
or the prominent members of the dem
ocratic party Hoctor hns held office ever
since he was old enough to wear shoes.
Another democrnt who Is prominent in
Jacksonian circles said that if Hoctor se
cured the nomination for the third term
he proposed supporting the republican
nominee. Among the candidates already
announced are John McMillan, formerly
postmaster here; Miles Welsh, John J
Ryan, nt present holding down Iho Job of
secretary of the Board of Education: Wll
Ham Buckley, a member of the democratic
county central committee from the Second
ward. Richard O'Kceffe hns been throwing
a line out to sec how the people would
take him. W. P. McDevltt, second vice
president of the Jacksonian club, who Is
bookkeeper for the Joint' Car Inspection
Bureau here. Is also mentioned as a can
didate. And there may be others. At any
rate there Is lots of wirepulling and fences
are bolng put up and torn down every day,
Nearly all of the candidates have, It Is
stated, combined to fight Hoctor and the
presumption Is that If they stick together
Hoctor will be retired to his farm for a
rest.

Again there are rumors of the reopening
or tne Hammond packing house. What
lends color to these rumors is the asser
tion that the Union Stock Yards comnanv
has refused to permit tho Omaha Packing
company to lease the now Idle Hammond
plant. It Is understood that the Omaha
people wanted to enter Into a lease for
tho Hammond property and mako their own
repairs. This proposition was, It Is as
serted, turned down by the management of
the stock yards. Now G. R. Hammond, Jr.,
proposes to open the house on or about
October 1. The repairs necessary to put
the plant In good shape will cost, It Is esti
mated, $150,000. Of this sum, tho report
says, the stock yards will subscribe $100,-
000.

There is something about a running race

At the Sunday morning service In the
pretentious First Methodist church the
curtain was effectively rung down ut in
tho lofty Parisian pattern hat, whoso tow

seclusion from observation to those who
want to sleep.
It wns nt this service that tho new
rule established by the exccutlvo board
of tho church requesting women to re
move their hats was Inaugurated with n
measure of success that Is gratifying to

ent Sunday morning had cither read them
or had heard of them In some wny, for a
large majority wero seen to remove their
headgear, most nf It dainty In texture but
sublime In power of obstruction nnd volume
of displacement, as soon as thoy reached
their scats.
Many of the women held their hats upon
their laps, while hero nnd there a vacant
plnco In tho pews was smothered In piles
of millinery not unlike thoso displayed
In tho enticing Bhow windows of the big
stores.
There was quite a number of women,
however, who, for reasons not apparent,
did not conform to the expressed wish
of tho directory of tho church nnd soon
nfter tho services began the pastor, Rev.
A. C. Hirst, read the resolutions from the
pulpit. He stated, however, that there
was nothing mandatory about them, and
generally gave those women who did not
evince n readiness to expose their coiffure
without preliminary furbishing to under-
stand that they were not required todo
so.
Jlnre Ilnta Conic Off.
Tho announcement was followed by some
nddttlonal dotting of millinery, but tho
movement was not by any means universal,
for when tho sermon was half completed no
less than eighteen women wero counted sit
ting serenely with hats of varying propor
tions scattered through tho three or four-
scoro of tho congregation occupying seats
In that part of tho church. Down In tho
body of the congrcgntlon tho prevalence t
the ostrich tip wns less marked, although
there wero a number of women with hats
of generous proportions occupying scats In
the pews near tho very front, Just undor
tho pulpit. Thore were also a few elderly
women scattered through tho congregation
whose modest bonnets were not calculated
to annoy any ono or shield him from the
full sweep of the preacher's vision and oratory.
It Is probable that In the body of the con
gregation not more than one woman out of
four or five failed to comply with the reso
lution. Howovcr, It was noticed that when
those who wished to unite with the church
wore Invited to come forward, tho two
women who responded did not lcavo their
hats behind them in their pews, but In
stead woro them Just ns If they had not
heard tho subject of women's huts men
tioned. Hvcryhod y In Sntlnfleil.
"Wo nro thoroughly satisfied with the
unanimity with which tho request of the
board has been compiled with," said Dr.
Hippie at the closo of the service. "There
had been Homo apprehension that some
women might consider tho resolutions nn
unwarranted presumption upon tho part of
tho officiary and might consider tho sug
gestion an invasion of their rights. There
was some thought that It might not meet
with favor nnd compliance In all quarters,
but as n rule the women of the church
have approved the action of tho board and
all seem ready to adopt the suggestion with
something of enthusiasm. There were a
number of women who did not remove
their hats, but I think that they were nearly
all strangers In tho congregation who had
not heard of the movement beforo their ar
rival nnd whoso hair, probably, had not
been put up Just ns they would wish to be
If they removed their hats. I think that
the movement will grow In churches os It
hns In other publla gatherings, becoming
more general ns it becomes known to every
one. I think that other churches will adopt
the same suggestion. Next Sunday fowor
hats will bo worn In church than wc havo
seen today, and each succeeding Sabbath
will witness a shrlnkago In the number of
hats worn at tho services until It will be ns
fixed a' practlco for women to tnke off their
hats In church as It Is now for men to do
so."
No Iteferenee to Knuler.
It Is denied that this suggestion on the
part of tho board Is prompted by nny con
certed desire to cut down the oxpenscs that
Invariably are attendant upon tho Easter
season. It Is declared to he an effort simply
to place the pastor within view of his
listening congregation, and vice versa, for
mutual benefit. To his comparatively hat
less congrcgntlon Rev. Hirst preached an
eloquent sermon on character-building,
abounding in wholcsomo suggestions for tho
father nnd mother' who seek to rear a
family of strong, self-reliant and honorable
children. Hereafter tho congregations at
this church will bo hatlcss, as not a slnglo
adverso criticism has been heard, nnd It is
considered likely that other leading church
societies will adopt the suggestion.
