Nebraska NORMAL BOARD STILL FIGHTING War Togs Have Not Been Discarded and Anti-Thomas Men Are in Saddle. LITTLE MONARCHY AT KEARNEY (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 2l.—(Special.)—~The an- nual meeting of the State Normal board next Wednesday promises to be interest- ing In more ways than onme. It is ru- mored that the old guard, which has been camping on the 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 as possible. That they have the power to do so Is without question, as the board is made up of ant-Thomas men and the commit- tees are mo arranged that the antls have a majority on all. It 1a sald that the old conglomeration of patriots will attempt to elect Colonel Majors to the presidency. The other fei- 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 things. That the board is in a position to pull off most anything it desires is shown by the fact that the instruction committee is composed of Majors, Caviness ani Gettys, while the executive committee is strongly antl, with Caviness, Majors, Viele and Morris. Monarchy at Kearney. 1t {s said that the intentfon is to build up a strong educational monarchy at Kearney, and that such a thing is prob- able iy evidenced by the work which has been done since the board decapitated Dr. Thomas from the superintendency of the school. To show that the work ie going on In fine shape it is only necesary 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 Statec school; Principal George aMr- tin anq C. D. Benson have also been given good positions there and the man who was chosen in Dr. Thomas' place as principal s with the antis strongly, | while A. L. Caviness, leader of the oppo- nents of Thomas, has now been chosen superintendent of the eKarney High achool. All the above are sald to be 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 scalp. This man is sald to be a mighty good man for the #school. I{e was one of the strong sup- porters of Dr. Thomas when he was superintendent of the normat and ¢ is sald 1s =0 yet. Nothing can be found against him «s an instructor and so it is claimed that his salary will be out to such a degree that he canmot aford to stay with the school. DRAINAGE DITCH PROVES ITS VALUE IN JOHNSON TECUMSEH, Neb,, June 21.—(Special.)— The etficiency 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 besn 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 400 acres near Tecumseh, paying #50 per acre for it twelve years ago, has refused $140 per acre for a portion of the farm, which was formerly subject to overflow. His assessment on the entire farm was nearly $6,000.
