OyernlIs Wreck n school Board.

Lyons, Neb., June 90. - The school
board of this city has resigned in Il body
because the high school graduating class
persisted in appearing on the stage on
commencement night CARRIED in overalls.
The students claim to have suffered GER
tain humiliutions at the hands of the
board and by way of retaliating adopted
the word Work" for their class motto
and determined to appear in laborer's
garb to claim their diplomas. The board,
learning of the plan, endeavored to sup
press it and, failing in that, informed tn"
class that the expenses of the opera
house would not be met from the school
fund. The graduates answered this move
by charging an admttance fee, and the
townspeople, entering into the spirit of
the jest, crowded the house to the doors.

claim that public necessity and conven.
iencs did not require the construction OF
another trolley line between these two
cities.
After much parleying the projectors
of the Saco River line secured from the
commissioners an approval of the route
from Bonney Eagle to Saco. The talk
was that the company would go ahead
and build that part OF the road and
trust to luck to get an extension Into

First the commissioners took carriages
and were driven over the proposed route

by numerous reasons.
The first reason given was that the pc

why Dewey VIII Not Cross the Pa

miral will not start until the commission,
of which he is a member, has completed
the work 1t has undertaken, at least SO
far as 1t relates to the restoration of peaea
to the islands. The reason for bringing
the flagship Olympia to New York in,
stead of having her come to san Francis
co, where she was built, is said to be
primarily because Admiral Dewey expects
to make the passage on his own flagship
and also for the reason that the Mare ISL
and navy yard threatens to bo over

numerous vessels of Dewey's fleet begin
to return to the United States. The
Olympia is in need of thorough over
hauling, having been away from her home
