FENCE TO RUN ALONG THE tAKE FRONT Intlmatlna that When Slanted the Order of .Indare Scott Will Be KiVn More Sweeping Than Orlgrlnallr Intimated. The motor company yesterday applied to Judge Scott rf the superior court for per mission to file a supersedeas bond tn the case In which It was enjoined from fencing up Third street and obstructing Park ave nue at Lake Manawa. The application waa denied, but Judge Scott extended the time In which the company has to comply with the order to July 3. The motor company will appeal to the supreme court from Judge Scott's ruling, but in the meantime will comply with the mandate. The motor company will, pending the appeal, remove the fence- across Third street connecting Shady grove with the re sort proper, but will fence both sides of the street. It will file a motion today be fore Judge Bcott to be given permission to erect a viaduct over Third street to afford an entrance Into Shady grove from the other portion of the enclosed grounds. Judge Scott Intimated that he would con sider such an (application it the plans of the proposed overhead crossing were sub mitted to him. The motor company claims that Third street did not extend clear to the lake front, .hut only to the north side of the old county road which ran along the edge of the lake, and It waa stated yesterday that it would place its fence at the end of the street, so as to cut off access to the lake and mako a cul-de-sac practically of Third street. The company also claims that Park ave nue was never tn controversy and that Its tracks and fence do not encroach on the highway. The decree In the case has not been signed yet by Judge Bcott and tt was Intimated yesterday that tt may possibly be made more sweeping than his ruling was, and may embrace other streets which the motor company' is alleged to have fenced In. The decision of Judge Scott, however, will not end the controversy between the motor company and the owners of the sa loons outside the grounds of the resort, as the motor company will place It new fences so as to shut off access to them from Us grounds, and It 'was said yester day that further litigation might be looked for.

PREACHER TALKS TO TEACHERS Impresses Them with Importance of Sticking to High Ideals of Llvlnar. Rev. W. B. Barnes, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, conducted the opening exercises at tha County Normal Institute yesterday morning, afterward, delivering a short address to the teachers on the sub ject, '"The Public Schools from the Stand point of the Clergy."

He , called attention to the fact that some pu-' p i. come from home, where high standard. of conduct are taught, while other, come: from homes where no standard la taught, i a. well a. from home, v.fy.ng between these extreme. He urged that the teach- f fthmilA nnf napmlr thaali eirdnrltivrla tn be an average, but should Insist that they, "ufc " ,c"u' " u" lUD ww "l lu" be of the Wghest Rev. Barnes also urged ! uPreim cut. that In addition to the utilitarian Ideas M u Pbable that a meeting of the eu now bo prevalent in the publlo schools, the premd 3udBeB wl11 be heM ln Ju" ln (J pupil .hould-be taught to consider the Tan:e of the ,tt11 term anJ ome of th ouestlon.
