THE SCHOOL BOARD
Important Recommendations to be
Made by Building Committee.
An Effort May be Made TO Sell the Sch DOL
EdIice al Fifth and Court
Streets.
REPORT is NOW READY

The school board will meet Tuesday
night IN regular session, and the most
important business that will be brought
up will be the report of Mr. Ben
weille and Architect Brainerd rels q
tive to the trip to st. Louis they took
Monday.
Mr.. Weille has prepared the report,
with the assistance Of the architect,
and the following are some of the sug-
gestions that will be offered in the re-
port: First the city schools are found
to be too small, compared with the
schools of the cities where everything
is arranged for convenience and health,
and the ventilation and heating plants
are defective. The report will recon-
mend that no more eight room schools
be built, and buildings Of from four
teen to sixteen rooms be erected alto
gether. Next year one building will
probably be erected, whils an addition
will be built to another and the Long
fellow school, at Fifth and Cout
streets, will be sold. II possible, as II
will not be needed in that district.
This will be one important recon-
mendation, and Chairman Weille will
try to sell the building to the city, IL e
location being the best for an Office
building for the city officials. The
fan system OF heating and furnishir &
fresh air will be recommended and
there is no doubt but that 1t will be
adopted. The fan system furnishes
two tons Of air to a building every
minute, and taking an ordinary sized
room with the usual seating capacity,
will furnish thirty pounds of air TO
each pupil every minute. In the win
ter the air is heated by a system Of
coiled steam pipes, and in the summer
the fresh air is thrown in. After an
examination Of the many different
heating systems, this is considered the
best, and meets with the approval Of
both the board architect and Chair.

The janitors are now receiving only
$50 and $50 per month for their work,
and this is not considered sufficient.
A recommendation will be male to
increase the salary, as some of the
buildings are hard to keep in good
and the work is much
heavier than labor Of other classes
where more money is received. 1t is
claimed by the janitors that they do
not recsive enough to support their

WHY STAY PALEi

A pity to see pale girls stay
pale and dull when it is so
easy to get SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion does a few
things well. One of them is
to give rich red blood to pale
girls. There is a reason for it.
But perhaps you are more
interested in results than in
reasons.
The result of steady daily
doses of SCOTS Emulsion
is an increase not only in
the red color of the blood and
in the appetite but in the good
looks and bright manners
which are the real charm of
good health.
SCOTS Emulsion is blood
tood.

Service Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81
James R. Garfield a son of the late
President Garfield, has accepted the
position of civil service commissioner
rendered him about ten days ago by
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Garfield is

gagged in the practice of law with his
brother, Harry A. Garfield, in Cleye-
land.
He is a notable figure in Ohio politi-

tion law of Ohio, which required all
nominees for elective offices to file with
the secretary of state a sworn state

ever, was recently repealed. Mr.. Gar
field is a resident of Mentor, a suburb

Peculiar to Itself.

This applies to St. Jacobs Oil used for
fifty years. 1t contains ingredients that
are unknown to any one but the manu-
facturers and their trusted employees. It's
pain killing properties are marvellous, as
testified TO by the thousands of once crippled
human beings now made we'll and free from
pain by its use. St J Cobs Oil has a record
of cures greater than all other medicines.
Its sales are larger than those of anv other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater
than all other embrocations, oils and lini-
ments combined, simply because it has been
proved to be the best.

EXPECT A VOTE BY TUESDAY.
Friends of oleo Bill Look to Its I'm.
mediate PASSAGE.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 81
The friends of the oleomargarine bill
hope to secure vote on that measure
on Tuesday of the present week, and
as soc1 as it shall be disposed of the
Chinese exclusion bill will be called
up. According to the present PROPOSE
ton, Senator Mitchell, who was large
ly instrumental in framing the exclu
sion bill, will make the first presenta-
ton of its merits to the senate. He
will be followed by other supporters of
the bill and it is the hope of Senator
Penrose, who has carge of the meas
ure, that the senate will be able TO
conclude it's consideration within ten
days after it is taken up.
There is no pronounced opposition
to the bill as whole, but an effort will
be made to amend it in some particu-
lars. There are several speeches to be
made on the oleomargarine bill, but it
is the general understanding that the
discussion will be concluded during
the first half of the week, if not by
Tuesday in time to allow vote on
that date.
1t is expected that the Indian ap-
preparation and the river and harbor
bill will be reported during the week.
Both are subjected to immediate con-
sideration even to the extent of dis
placing other bills, but it is not be-
lieved that either of them will be used
to deprive the Chinese bill of it's chance
for consideration.
The Philippine government bill will
also be reported, probably today but
its consideration by the senate nee
essarily will be postponed for some
weeks.

CONVICTED UNDER NEW LAW.
Writing of Threatening Letter Proves
Costly.

COSIiy.
RUSHVILLE, Neb., March 31.-In
the district court here was an impor-
tant case where young man by the
name of Fred Reno was charged with
sending a threatening letter through
the mail to Charles w. Claff1in,
threatening to wipe him off the face
of the earth if he should remain in
the community. The letter was mail
ed at Pine Ridge and the postmis-
tress identified it as the one dropped
in the box by the defendant. The de-
fendant denied having written the
letter and evidence was also intro
duced to show that no malice existed
between the man threatened and him
self. This was the first case prose
cuted under the new law which was
passed by the last legislature as a
result of the Cudahy kidnapping case.
The jury, after being out eight hours,
returned a verdict of guilty.

STOLE MOTHERS MONEY.
SkrabaI Boys Confess and Dig Up the
Wealth

BEATRICE. Neb, March 31.-After
being in the sweatboX for several
hours, William Skrabal finally CON
fessed his guilt in the stealing of his
mothers money and then planting it
in his blacksmith shop floor. He in
formed the authorities that he had
put about $1,000 of money under the
sill of. his barn. Sheriff Waddington
at once went out to the farm and
found the money as indicated. The
amount recovered by the sheriff is
S1,050, which with the $3.50 unearthed
by the detective, making 1880 in all,
still leaves 81, ,120 unaccounted for.
The boys stoutly maintain that they
only got a trif1e over $500, while
their mother insists that S2,700 was
stolen from her The bows claim that
they had no intention of robbing
their mother, as they only wanted
her to come to time about certain
matters, when the cash would have
been resorted They say that when
their father died last year he left
quite sum of money and that they
were entitled to a portion of it, but
as the old lady seemed to think 9th
erwise they resorted to strategy in
getting even.

TEN THOUSAND HoMEsTEADs.
Will Be Taken UP When the Utah
Reservation is Opened.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
The senate committee On Indian af-
fairs adopted the amendment to the
Indian appropriation bill, in accord
ance with an understanding with the
president and the interior department
to open the Uintah reservation in Utah
on October 1. 1908.
The reservation includes about q
100000 acres. There will be about
10000 homesteads, exclusive of timber
and important mineral entries. The
latter have long been matters of dis
pute and have caused much irritation
and trouble. One reason assigned for
the decision to open the reservation to
settlement is the fact that the govern
ment has never been able TO prevent
monopoly of an output Of the rich
asphalt lands in the reservation.
The lands will probably be opened
through the medium of a drawing such
as was employed in opening the Ki0wa
and Comanche reservations in Okla
homa.

RANGE MEN FIGHT
BATTLE REPORTED IN UPPER
GREEN RIVER COUNTRY.
STOCK GROWERS LOCK HORNS
TWO Men Seriously Wounded and
Hundreds of Sheep Clubbed and
Shot to Death-The elimination of
Long Existing Trouble.

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., March 81
A telephone message was received from
Big Piney in the upper Green river
cuntry in Uinta and Sweetwater coun-
ties stating that bloody battle had
been fought near that place between
cattlemen and sheepmen, the trouble
having grown out of division of the
rane. The report said that two sheep
men, brothers named Hill, had been
badly hurt and that it was feared other
participants in the fight had been
wounded.
Before further details could be
learned the telephone line broke down
and as Big Piney is twenty-five miles
from the nearest point of communica-
tion there is no way of confirming the
report or learning more about the trou
BILE until tomorrow.
Trouble has been brooding in the
upper Green river country for some
time. Several years ago the cattlemen
of the region drew a dead-line around
a certain tract of range, which is said
to be the finest feeding ground in the
Rocky mountains, and issued warnings
to sheepmen to stay away. Local
fiockmasters obeyed the mandate, for
they knew that if they crossed the line
their sheep would be turned back or
slaughtered But nomadic herds were
frequently pushed into the forbidden
territory, with the result that f1ocks
were driven out, some sheep were
slaughtered, herders were shot at and
wounded, and sheep wagons and out
fits were destroyed.
Last spring John Butterfield and
companion herder were attacked by
masked men. Both were wounded and
one was crippled for life. November 8
Tom Ryan and Chris Peterson, herders
in the employ of a Salt Lake City out
fit, were shot at and run out of the
country their sheep were slaughtered
and the camp outfit was destroyed.
AS feed is getting scarce and ranges
are overcrowded, it is feared that the
sheepmen, driven to desperation, will
fight it out to the bitter end with the
cattlemen, who it is claimed, have no
more right to the range than the flock
masters, for it is government domain
chiefly. Further trouble of a serious
nature is expected.
Further particulars of the battle on
the range in the upper Green river
country between cattlemen and sheep
men have been received.
Roam and Abe Hill, Sheepmen, were
seriously wounded, but were not dead
when the courier came out Eleven
hundred of their sheep were dubbed
and shot to death. The Hill brothers
shot two cattlemen, whose names have
not been learned, but they were not
fatally wounded.
Another report says that several
sheep herders were severely beaten and
large number of sheep killed, but
that no person was fatally hurt.

AFTER OLEO DEALERS.
State Food Commissioner Lodges Nu-
merous COMPLAINTS.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 31.-State
Food Commissioner Bassett has lodg-
ed complaints with County Attorney
Shields of Douglas county against
thirty-one butchers and grocers and
several wholesale dealers of Omaha
for failure to take out permits to sell
oleomargarine. After permits are Sc
cured under the state law a dealer is
not allowed to sell oleomargarine col
ored yellow. The penalty for failure
to take out license in a fine of from
$40 to $100 and costs. The food COM
missioner merely makes complaint to
the county attorney and it is the prov
ince of the latter to file suit.
Mr.. Bassett and County Attorney
Caldwell of Lancaster county won a
suit in the district court against Beha
Bros. for selling colored oleo. This
suit is considered by them a test case
and the state food commissioner will
now proceed to enforce the law
throughout the state.

LOSE FREE SCHOOL RIGHTS.
Twenty Counties in Nebraska Lack
High School Districts.

LINCOLN. Neb., March 29.-State
Superintendent Fowler is advocating
the organization of high school dis
tIscts and the consolidation of rural
schools. He says there are twenty
counties in Nebraska without high
school district.
while in two or three of these
twenty counties said Mr.. Fowler,
Chase, for example, a high school
district could now be organized at the
county seat in accordance with the
provisions of the school laws, the
other counties are without a district
containing the required number of pu-
pills, or more than $50 children be-
tween the ages of 5 and q years, to
organize a high school district.
county without high school district
cannot establish the adjunct district
and thus free high school privileges
are denied all children residents in
said county.
81 would urge, therefore. that in
every county with a district at the
county seat which contains, according
to the last school census, more than
$50 children between the ages of
and 81 years, the people organize un-
der the school laws with a board of
six members. In counties where the
county seat district contains less than
$50 children between the prescribed
ages the districts around the seat
should consolidate until the consOli-
dated district contains more than $50
children of the school age, when it
may organize as high school dis
trict Under consolidation with this
end in view it is not necessary to
transport the pupils in vans or wag-
ons at public expense, provided, OF
course, a school is maintained for pu-
pills in the grades below the high
school in the school houses on the
sites they occupied before consolida-
tiOn.
nese SCHOOIS may De ConIllueus
as are the ward schools in city dis
tricts,' continued Mr.. Fowler, but all
high school work should be done in
the central school in the village.
This would insure free high school
privileges to all pupils in the consol-
idating district and, upon the estab
lishment of the adjunct district, to all
pupils in the county. Consolidation
is not the organization of a new dis
trict and may be effected at any time
during the year
