"I havn been trying to make the school people of tho state understand the re sponsibility they assume when they sign a teacher's contract," continued Mr. Fowler. "It frequently occurs thnt x teacher, after signing a contract, will conclude to go to eome other srhool, and ho usually leaves without giving tho board reasonable notice. I gave a decision n short time ago to the effect that a teacher's contract Is as binding on the teacher as It Is on tho school board. There havo been cases where teachers havo recovered from school boarda for breach of contract. A school board might not bo nblo to recover from a teacher for breaking n contract, but the beard certainly can pre vent tho person who breaks a contract from teaching elsewhere. I want the teach ers of tho stato to be more businesslike. Conditions sometimes arise which provent a teacher from fulfilling a contract, but In nearly all cases they can give the board reasonable notice." Disputed School I.nvr.

Now the facts aro that I have no Interest In tho Auditorium building, nor In tho schemo to dlsposo of It, directly or In directly, In any manner whatever, nor did I over have, and I know nothing about it In fact. I never had an Interest In any lottery In my life, nor did I over purchase a lottery ticket In my life. I have never seen any of tne advertising matter of tho lottery referred to In the .r tide, nnd If my name appears In any of it, It- Is without my knowleflgo or consent which fact could easily havo been nscer tnlned If any Investigation of the matter had been mado at Norfolk before the publl cation of tho article, and It Is but simple Justtco that tho truth bo now given publl cation.

CULVER SPEAKS AT REUNION Veterssn Captain at Hastings Telia of Experiences In Campaign Against the Filipinos. ' .HASTINGS, Neb.. Aug. 29. (Special Tele gram.) This afternoon's program of the re union opened with tho singing ot "John Brown's Body Goes Marching On." Captain J. H. Culver of Mllford delivered an address descriptive of tho troubles In tho Philippines. He first excused his ab sence from the laBt three previous reunions by saying that time he had been on duty first In tho war with Spain and later In assisting to pacify the rebellious Filipinos. Ho dcecrlbcd tho efforts of the troops on tho Island ot Luzon. Ho told of tho lack ot understanding of tho American people of the size. Importance and conditions of the Philippine Islands. They were a new class ot .citizens for tho United States troops to deal with and tho Idea was conceived that tho Islands were densely populated and that every malo citizen abovo tho age of 14 years was a soldier. The soldier could see In 'every banana tree or behind every palm leaf a Filipino soldier about to shoot. Ti tnnk hut a 1 1 1 tin whllo to dlsnel this Idea nnd our soldiers began to hunt for an en emy. Captain Culver said It was Imposstblo to get the Insurgents to stand and fight. He told of many skirmishes whore he had hoped for a general engagement, but could not get the enemy to fight. He finally established a school wherein nothing but English was taught and tho Filipino children took to the English lan guage qulto readily. It was through the children thnt the parontB were mado to understand the Intentions of our govern ment. Many surrenders wore made by par ents and old people through the Ipstru- mcntallty of the children. A change in the attitude of the Filipinos was noticeable as soon as tho result of tho presidential election became known over tho Island of Luzou. They had been led to bellevo that If Bryan could be elected ho would give them a government of their own and that tho American troops would be withdrawn. Learning differently they gradually be- camo more reconciled to our government. His address was Interesting and In structive and was listened to with marked attention. 'The Sword of Bunker Hill" was sung by Comrade A. T. Grangue, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Kate Boyd, after which Colonel T. J. Majors gave one of his characteristic short talks. He had previously hidden hlmsolf in the great crowd In front' of i the stage and hoped to escape being called upon,- but his, blue shirt gave him nw;ny nnd no was cancn unon for an address.
