Now, therefore, I, James C. Dahlman, mayor, urge upon the citizens of Omaha that they show their lovalty to their home team and their appreciation of clean sport by an enthuslastic and loyal attendance on Friday afternoon at the ball park and urge upon business men of the city, so far as possible, the closing of their places of business, that their em- ployes may have the privilege of wit- nessing the game, and to that end 1 do proclaim the afterncon of August 6 a half holMay.

LINCOLN, Aug. §.—(Special.)—Action | of the State Normal Board in having the cornerstone of the Peru Normal building | inwcribed with the mames of officers of the board before these had been elected, | in conformity with the slate as arranged [ by the majority has made the board the | | butt of much jesting, especially when the | machine jumped & cog and Dan Morris | was elected president instead of the siate | | candidate President Viele. Then in order | | to make the record clear to a title on! | the cornerstone for Viele, the board al- [ lowed the latter to assume the chair and “.u as president at the meeting Monday, the president defuncto stating when he | took the chair that Mr. Morris had not | sald whether he would accept the presi- | | dency or not. After Viele had called the meeting to order and one of the quartet | had moved to make the election of Morris | unanimous, then the latter was allowed to | preside as the board president. Now comes a bunch of normal board vouchers to the office of the ttate auditor, two of them signed by Mr. Morris as president of the board, under date of June 23, several weeks before the late { “unanimous election." The question naturally arises what kind of a stunt the board has been trying to | pull off. Has it gone into vaudeville or is it trying to pull the wool over the eyes | of the people. If the board considered | that Morris was not president until last Monday, why is his name signed to vouchers under date of June 23? If he was president when he signed the vouch- ers on June 23 what right had Viele to preside at the meeting on August 27 Is the board attempting to ride two horses, | each going in opposite directions, or | what is it trying to do.
