PAINT NUMERALS
At HIGH SCHOOL
Students SkiIIfuIIy Evade Man
on Guard and Use Red
Paint Freely.
WILL MEAN SUSPENSION
SENIOR BOYS DECLARE THEY
HAD NO HAND IN 1T AND ARE
WILLING TO TELL WHO DID
PAINTING IF NECESSARY.

In spite of the fact that James I.
school building last night students
at the school painted large red numer-
ais 07 and 90 on the cement walks
and pillars at the two entrances TO the
building. The numerals are for the
Sophomore and Senior classes, but it
is known that no Seniors took part in
the painting and it is thought that no
Sophomores had a hand in it.
The Senior boys recently had trou-
BILE with the school authorities over
the matter of wearing corduroy trou-
sers. 1t might appear that they paint
ed the numerals at the building as a
piece of spite work, but the boys
fixed up" their differences yesterday
and returned to school and last night
after the painting occurred a number
of the Senior boys declared they had
nothing to do with it. They said that
they knew some of those who did the
work. They said they were Juniors
and in case it was necessary for them
to tell Principal Ellabarger who did
the painting they would do SO.
The Seniors even went so far as to
help Janitor William McGrew and
Fireman Van Zant in their efforts to
remove the paint. The numerals on
the cement walks leading up to the
building were erased but the paint
sank into the softer stone of the pill
lars and it is doubtful if it can be
washed off
AS the painting of class numerals
on the building is clearly violation
of school rules it is highly probable
that the students engaged in it will
be dismissed from school.
Those who did the painting cleverly
eluded Mr.. Van Zant, who was watch
ing the building by painting the nu-
meraIs on the south side while he was
on the west side of the building, s(ld
when he was finding the numerals on
the south side they were busy with
their painting on the west side.

Telephone war at harrington.

HARRINGTON Neb., Feb. 16-(Special)
Harrington is in the midst of tele-
phone war between a new home company
recently organized here and the New State
company of Sioux City that recently
bought the Halsted local telephone sys-
TEN. A few months ago the people here
became dissatisfied with the service given
by the local exchange and home COM
pany was organized and a new local sys-
TEN installed. About this time the New
State company came in possession of the
other system and commenced to put 1t in
shape, but the business people thought 1t
came too late and threw their support to
the home company. AS result the town
has two local exchanges. when there is
need for but one. The New State COM
pany has reduced prices and says It is
going to hang on for the reason that II is
the only way it can get its share of the
toll service business and for the further
reason that Sioux City business interests
would suffer If the system was dIscon-
tinued. The new company has connected
with the Bell long distance line. Harting-
ton does not want two exchanges, but the
home company has the better of 1t so far
The matter has occasioned much feeling
here.

custom The procession was closed with
carriages bearing the male members Of
royal families represented at the funeral,
the ladies watching the departure of the
body from a neighboring building.
The bells of all the churches were tolied
and minute guns were fired from the
arsenal throughout the progress of the cor
tege and until the coffin was placed in the
funeral train. This was the first time in
history that the body OF a Danish king
has been transferred by railroad to the
burial place. At the time of the death of
Frederick VII. the predecessor of King
Christian. in 1863. the use of a railroad
train for the conveyance of the kings body
to Roskilde was not considered sufficiently
dignified.

upon the application of General Prout and
Governor Mickey, the latter holding the

the position taken by Mr.. Follmer. Then
Murfin wanted his money. The legislature
