TEACHERS ILL LUCK.

Omaha, March 9.-There appears to
be little if any prospect that the passen-
ger representatives of western roads
will get together on rate to the Ma
tionaI Education association. The
Southern Pacific representative refuses
to yield on his demand for extra COM
pensation for it's proportion of the haul
to concede it, The prospects appear to
be that the educational association
must change it's place of meeting if it
wants any special rates.

things were getting on finely until this un-
lucky night when he spied upon the man

He was going on. but suddenly became

the matter" he questioned, because the
girl looked wrathful. and yet ready to cry.

slight explosion. lis a new picture that l

The young man looked from her to it and
