NORMAL BOARD
STILLJ1GHTING
War Togt Have Not Been Discarded
and Anti-Thomaa Men Are
In Saddle.
LITTLE MONARCHY AT KEARNEY
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 31.-Bpola.) The an
nual meeting of the State Normal board
next Wednesday promise to be Interest
ing In more waya than one. H Is ru
mored that the old guard, which has
been ramping on t,h trail of A. O.
Thomas for so many years. Is still un
satisfied and will continue Its warfare at
the coming meeting, doing all possible to
make things as uncomfortable for the
present state superintendent ss possible.
That they have the power to do so Is
without question, as the board Is made
up of antl-Th,omas men and the commit
tees are so arranged that the antls have
a majority on all.
It Is said that the old conglomeration
of patriots will sttempt to elect Colonel
Majors to the presidency. The other fel
lows will put up State Treasurer Hall,
who has proven himself to be consider
able of a scrapper and opposed to com
binations In restraint of certain thlnm.
That the board Is In a position to pull
off most anything It desires Is shown by
the fact that the Instruction commltee
Is composed of Majors, Cavlnesg an!
Oettys. while the executive committee la
strongly antl. with Cavlness, Majors,
Vlele and Morris.
Monarchy at Kearney.
It Is said that the Intention la to build
up a stronir educational monarchy at
Kearney, and that such a thing Is prob
able Is evidenced by the work which has
been done since the board decapitated Dr.
Thomas from the superlntendency of the
school. To show that the work le going
on In fine shape it Is only neceeary to
point to the fact that King was trans
ferred from the state superintendent's
office to Kearney at the time of the dis
missal of Thomas; when Elliott was de
feated for the republican nomination by
Thomas, he was given a Job at the eKar
ney State school; Principal George aMr
tin and C. D. Benson have also been
given good positions there and the man
who was chosen In Dr. Thomas' place
as principal Is with the antls strongly,
while A. L. Cavtmess, leader of the oppo
nents of Thomas, haa now been chosen
superintendent of the eJCarney High
school. All the above are said to bo
representatives of the Schoolmasters'
club and strong opponents of Dr. Thomas.
One More Slated to Go.
It Is also given out on reliable author
ity that there Is another man at Kear
ney who may lose his so alp. This man
Is said to he a mighty good man for the
school, lie was one of the strong sup
porteis of Dr. Thomas when he was
superintendent of the normal and Is
said Is so yet. Nothing can be found
against him as an instructor and so It is
claimed that his salary will be out to
such a degree that he cannot aford to
stay with the school.

DRAINAGE DITCH PROVES
ITS VALUE IN JOHNSON
TECCMSEH, Neb.. June 21. (Special.)
The efficiency of the drainage ditch along
the Nemaha river and tributary streams
in Johnson county has been proven In
the downpour of rain this week. The
entire week has been rainy and, follow
ing a fall of nearly four Inches in twenty
four hours, the water did not leave, the
ditch In the north and central portion of
the county. At the lower section of the
county the water came out for a period.
Without the ditch and with the same
conditions of precipitation the floods
would have extended over the entire val
ley and ruined thousands of acres of
crops. While the ditch was an expensive
improvement there are but few. If any,
of the property owners along the streams
who were assessed for making it but who
are enthusiastic. John H. Evans, who
owns 00 acres near Tecumseh, paying
150 per acre for it twelve years ago, has
refused SIM per acre for a portion of the
lirra, which wss formerly subject to
overflow. His assessment on the entire
farm was nearly $6,000.
JOLIET, III., June Jl. In a demonstra
tion against "Chicken Joe-' Campbell,
the negro trusty suspected of slaying the
wife cf Warden Allen of the atate peni
tentiary here last night. 1.800 convicts
gathered In the main dining hall at the
noon hour today, rose to their feet and
cried threats against Campbell.
One hundred guards, using clubs right
and left, were reoulred to restore order.
"Lynch him! Lynch him! Let's tear him
apart'." were some of the cries that arose
from all parts of the hall.
Three hundred convicts resisted the
clubs of the guards an 1 jumped up a
fast as they were forced Into their
seats, howling imprecations against the
man whose alleged crime hid in their
opinion brought the honor aystom Into
disrepute and threatened its discon
tinuance. At the ooroner's Inquest over the body
of Mrs. Allen today nothing occurred to
divert the finger of suspicion from
Campbell, a Chicago murderer, detailed
as a house servant for the warden.
A blood stained collar recovered from
a linen closet across ths hall from Mrs.
Allen's bedroom figures !n the testimony.
Campbell admitted in his cell that, the
collar was his, but said the blood stain
was due to a slip of his raxor.
Mrs. Allen, before her marriage five
yeara ago. was Miss Odette Masle Bor
deaux, a oomle opera favorite. She was a
member of the original "Merry Widow"
company. She took an active part In the
arrangements of the prisoners and her
influence did much toward establishing
the honor system which placed the peni
tentiary In the front rank of modern
prisons.

On t-.p of all tne dampening effect of

"Huppose Rllly Sunday never comes to

Rev. Mr. Iowe laughed at the intima

Emmett's method of handling commit

place him."
As to charges of plagiarism lodged
against Hilly Sunday, Rev. Mr. Lowe said
that they were not true, and that when

While Mr. Bryan's dramatic exit from the Cabinet finds support in some quarters,
THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 19th shows in its impartial, widespread summary of
public opinion on the occurrence, that the country is solidly behind President Wilson and

have difficulty in getting as angry over it as Mr. Bryan has."
Stirring events happen with kaleidoscopic rapidity these days. You muSl read THE
LITERARY DIGEST to maintain a clear, mental outlook to see all sides of great topics. ;
