LEGAL QUESTION OVER CONTRACT Ifaa Hoard of Traateea One In Its Poe aeaalnn with Iron Works f Road Arts on Alfalfa. Itnte. (From a Staff Correspondent.) MNCOLN. March 22-( ."pedal.) The rending circle of the State Teachers- associ ation, which recommends books to the various school districts of the state and selects books, teachers must rend or be unable to secure a renewal of their certi ficates, has entered Into a contract with hook concerns from which purchases are made to pay the expenses of the members of the circle when meeting, as well as the advertising of the books selected. The companies with which this contract has been made are Heath A Co., Rand McNally and the Qlnn company. Each company contracted to pay Its share of the cost of the expenses of the members of the reading circle to the meetings. Every book company whose publications are chosen by tne reading circle has to chip In so much to the members of the circle, the parties who select the books. The reading circle is composed of State Superintendent Bishop, ex-offlclo member; Superintendent McMlcharl of Itoldrego, Superintendent Kred Hunter of Norfolk, president of tho Principals and Superin tendents association; County Superintendent Miller of Cedar county and Edith Lathrop, county superintendent of Clay county. This board met last night In the office of the state superintendent and adopted twenty-five books for public school libraries, and plans for the pupils' reading circle. Teachers' books were also adopted and acontract entered Into with the Dub- Ushers to furnish these at so much per book. From twenty-one publishers books were selected for the use of the schools, but tho reading circle has authority only to recommend these books and cannot foice the school districts to buy them. Included in the contract regarding the price to be paid for books by the teachers Is a clause wMch provides that the pub lishing houses shall each pay Its share of the expenses of the members of the reading circle and also pay for advertising the books. That Is one of the conditions upon which the purchases are made. Did Board Have Contract f Did the board of trustees of the state public school permit the expenditure of some $2,800 without having a contract with the company which did the work? The question has arisen by the action of the Phoenix Iron Works company of Penn sylvania soliciting the aid of the state board of public lands and buildings In the collection of $1,205 It claims Is due for a heating plant Installed In the state publlo school. The company says It has a contract signed by the secretary of the board of tmstees, the Rev. Weatherly. Mr. Weatherly and Dr. P. L. Hall, chair man of the board of trustees, said they hsd a contract with George V. Ballard, paid him the money for Installing the plant and had no agreement whatever with the Phoenix Iron Works. C. S. Alien, attorney for the board, said this morning the board had no formal con tract with George V. Ballard nor the com pany. He produced a bid for the work signed by Ballard who agreed , to furnish boilers manufactured by the Iron works. The board, he said, by resolution accepted tne bid or Ballard and this made the contract. Red Clood Wine Partial Victory. The Burlington railroad has filed with the state railway commission Its train schedule for the new train to run from Oxford to Hastings and return each day. The train will start at Oxford at 5:30 a. m. and reach Hastings In time to connect with No. i for the east. It will leave Hastings at 4 p. m. and reach lied Cloud at 6 and Oxford at 9. The schedule It to be out In operation April 4. The Red Cloud people made the most vigorous complaint against train service in that section of the state and they de manded a train which would run from Hastings and thus give people an oppor tunity to spend several hours each day In Red Cloud. They got Just the opposite from what they demanded. The commis sion will receive any objection to the new train and reserve Its official permission for it to be put on until a majority of the patrons are Satisfied. Oortora Object to Increase. The Hastings Independent Telephone com pany has filed a petition with the suute Railway commission asking permifulon to Increase fcts rates as follows: Individual business telephones, from $2.25 to $3 a month; realdenoe telephones, from $1.50 to $1.75; farmers' telephones, from $1.26 to $1.60. Practically every dootor In Hastings has filed a remonstrance against the Increase, and they say If permission Is granted to In crease the nates they will take out the In dependent telephones. The commission will hear the cane March 29. Chosen by Phi Beta Kappa. Out of a total of thirty-one seniors at the University of Nebraska who were today elected to membership In Phi Beta Kappa, the honorary fraternity whose members are chosen from the senior clam each spring entirely on the baale of their scholastlo achievements, only three were young men, and of this trio two were Omaha boys- Herbert W.

The selection of thirty-one members to day la the largest number that has ever been chosen for membership In the Ne braska chapter of the fraternity. The elec tion was made In accordance with the con stitution of the society, which provides The Beautiful Hair of English Women (Annie Bly In N. T. Oraphlc) The long, abundant and glossy tressea of English women are not due to hair tonics and heroic shampooing. There la a general belief over there that the less water put on the hair, the better It Is they say wetting "takes the life out" and leaves the hair dull, brittle and color less. English women with hair rich In color, clean and wholesome and plenty of It have told me they attribute It to dry shampooing two or three times a week. They mU four ounces of therox with four ounce of orrl. root and sprinkle a Oable.poonful of th!. mixture on the head; then brush the powder thoroughly through the hair. They thua also avoid the dancer of catching cold and the dis comfort that accompanies washing, rins ing and drying the hair. This treatment keep the hair light flurfy and lustrous, and la the only thing I know that will actually produce th growth of hair. Adv. Nebraska that not mr.re than one-clxth and not less than one-tenth of the members of the grad uating cltvss shall be honored. Tho co-eJn elected to the honorary fra ternity were: 8clmi P. ArMrrson.

Tho Burlington railroad has notified the Railway commission that Its rate to Kan- I sea City from Scott's Bluff on alfalfa hay is more than the rate to Omaha by cent. The Kansas City rate Hi 314 cents. Some time aco when tho railroad asked permission to Increase this rate a protest was filed by parties In Omaha, and il was given out In the office of the commission that the Kansara City rate "was then the same rate as the Omaha rate, thounh the Omaha haul wad much the shorter. Tho commission, upon receiving Its letter of pro test from the Burlington, looke dup ths tariffs and discovered that a mistake had been made and that the Omaha rate was less than the Kansas City rate. Complaints Brlna- Resnlt. The railway commission received notice from tho Burlington this morning that it had decided to stop its trains Nos. 43 and 44 at Mason City ond Alnsley beginning April 3. The company notified the commission that this would be done, merely as an ex periment and unless Justified it would not continue the practice.

IDEAL Steam and Water Boilers fill those requirements exactly and more. The IDEAL Boiler is a strong factor in thousands of ideal homes. It is the efficient, clean, silent, reliable servant of the house-owner an adjunct which does more for the cheer and healthfulness of home-life than any other material feature or decoration of the home and soon repays its first cost. Every type is built to keep hot water a-plenty moving rapidly through the piping and radiators above, or, in." changed form, to gently, surely, evenly vaporize water into steam, which steadily presses forward throughout the piping to its destination the hollow radiators, placed exactly where they will offset the cold. This Company was the first to develop lines of special Boilers, each designed with particular reference to its intended use, as well as its use with a certain kind or grade of fuel (hard coal, soft coal, pea coal, screenings, coke, wood, oil, gas, etc.) Hence the satisfactory results our IDEAL Boilers invariably give to the house holder, because it is not to our interest to urge the sale of an "all-around" Boiler which may or may not do the work, but rather to assist him to select the particular type and size of Boiler which will give him the very best satisfaction for his own precise needs and fuel available. In each of the various types of IDEAL Boilers every line has been laid and stands for one purpose thorough heating results with least expense for fuel. Every conceivable feature has been carefully and exhaustively analyzed in our testing laboratories by a corps of Inventors, designers, mechanical and heating experts, whose experience and ripest ideas are solely devoted to the advancement of our product. The results are expressed in Boiler constructions having correct proportions between areas of grates, draft-openings, heating surface, gas-buxning chamber, flues, water-ways, fuel and water capacity.
