LINCOLN. Neb., June 27.-The school
board Of this city resigned in a body to-
day because the high school graduating
class persisted in appearing on the stage

of the board. and by way of retaliating
adopted the word work for their class
motto, and determined to appear In labor

The board, learning OF the plan, endeav-
ored to suppress it, and failing in that
informed the class that the expenses of
the opera house would not be met from
the school fund. The graduates answered
this move by charging an admittance
fee, and the townspeople. entering into

The board looked upon the result as an
Endorsement of the students course. and
resented it by abandoning the manage
