This will cause a delay, because the to

lnB a ntw normal board enacted by the
late kghiluture Is at stake.
As early as last September It was pre

decided by Octpber 11, and that date was
fixed by the new board to Inspect the
claims of several towns which aspired to
be the home of the new normal school,
! 'or which an appropriation was made by
the late legislature. But the decision did
not come down and neither has it been
filed with the clerk of the court at this
time.
At first the tips which several parties
claimed to have were only regarding the

week ago parties claimed to have tips
on the decision Itself. One day the tip
waa the law would be upheld and the next
report which started was to the effect that
the law would be declared unconstitu

there have been anxious inquiries from
either members of the two normal boards
or from those Interested regarding the de
cision, and now the hunch Is that it will
come down Monday.
The decision Is more Important than
merely saying which board Ib legal. It
will permit the auditor to Issue warrants
for many outstanding bills and for salaries
to teachers and employes, which have been
held up since the new board came into

SCAMELL HITS THE YELLOWS
Catholic Bishop of Omaha Excoriates
Sensational Newspapers.
DOESN'T LIKE WOMEN IN POLITICS
I.ark of the Virtues of Faith, Hope
and Charity and Kitravngaot
Hlch Held to Be Responsible
for Anarchist.
Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, bishop of the
Catholic diocese of Omaha, scored the
yellow Journals In the morning sermon at
St. Cecelia church Sunday, , saying they
should not be permitted ' to circulate and
that the state should exercise supervision
over the press.
The bishop also said that women were
Inconsistent tn .thf Ir position, ln that they
would meet ln convention ln the forenoon
and quibble over little thlngs.and then do
Juat as bad things in the evening, when
they attended the theaters, ell a-.ld they
would strain at a grat In the convention i
hall 1 nthe morning and swallow a camel
at the theater In the evening.
"Instead of these women striving for
total abstinence they should be working I
In the cause of temperar.ee." said Bishop
Scannell. "Men have a practical Judgmonl
In' this matter and do rot look for the
Ideally perfect. Therefore, I see no ad
vantage to be derived from the women
being admitted into the, political arena.
"Faith, hope and charity these are the
virtues which constitute sanctity. The
word saint la a term often misunderstood
and in the minds of some Is associated
with miracles, prophecies and heroic vir
tues. This Is wrong, for when God was
asked by the sinner aa to what he should
do to be saved the answer was simply
"keep the commandments." We all know
we can keep the commandments by God's
grace and our own will. Most of the trou
bles of today are traceable to the want
of faith, hope and charity. Large masses i
of the people are destitute of these three
virtues. It is worse In Europe than In
this country, and It will be worse after a
time than It Is now. Atheists and anarch
ists and anti-church movements are more
aggressive In the old world than ln this.
Unlimited Freedom Dangrroni.
"These people demand unlimited freedom
of the press, tenchlng and speech, but this
cpnnot be granted because of the things
they lead to. No government could grant
these things and live. It Is apt to bring
about such an upheaval In Europe that
they will have military government.

CHERRY, 111., Nov. 14 Nearly 409 hu
man beings, men and boys, It is now be
lieved, are dead or perishing In the St.
Paul mine here, though experts, who suc
ceeded In penetrating the smoke-filled air
shaft to a depth of J00 feet late today, re
turned with a ray of hope for tha grtef
strlcken relatives of the entombed men.
That the fire has been extinguished was
the conclusion of mining experts and In
spectors sent here by Governor Deneen to
Investigate the calntnlty and Its rouse.
For more than thirty hours the pris
oners have been cut off from fresh air,
and undoubtedly have been subjected tfl
smoke-filled veins. That life could exist
under such conditions Is doubted by many,
but because no trace of high temperaturt
was found In the depths of the mine to
night, friends of the minors and even ol
those of the company here, hope that th
victims may have found safety ln remote
recesses of the mine.
A. J. Earllng, president of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Poul railroad, who hat
not slept since arriving on the sceno of
the catastrophe, received an encouraging
report after heroic efforts had been made
today to open the mine for the release of
the entombed men, or the discovery Of the
much feared mass of dead.
Conrnsslona Mile Away,
From the son of one of the missing
miners, a young man named John Reld.
the railroad president heard that a con
cussion of the earth had been felt by farm
ers half a mile south of the main shaft.
The report was sent to Henry Burke, an
official of the mining company. Burke
rushed to President Earllng in the office
of the company.
"I've heard signals from the men," he
said excitedly.
"What do oufmean?" asked the railroad
president. "What signal?"
"John Reld'a boy said that he and farm
ers whose land is over the -aouthern end
of the mine felt several rpnauaslons of the
earth this afternoon. There were several
shocks, and the men who felt them are
convinced they were shots fired by tha
Imprisoned miners and that they were
meant for an assurance that at least some
of them live."
"Oh, I hope to," said Earllng, "that Is
at least encoursglng."
The glimmer of light to the darkened
homes in Cherry tonight followed othtr
encouraging, though doubtful theorlea of
some of the experts that the entombed
hundreds may not have been suffocated
because of failure of the flames yesterday
