SCHOOLS REMAIN
 CLOSED THIS WEEK
At a Meeting of Physicians and Trustees It Is Decided to De- lay Reconvening Schools for Another Week,

Although the scarlet fever epidemic has been controlled, and there is scarcely any liability of another out break. 1t was decided last evening at meeting of the physicians of the city with the school trustees. not to open the Central. Lincoln or Lowell schools for another week. The measure, IL was stated last evening by one of the physicians, is entirely precautionary in nature, and is to allow the medical profession ample time to discover any cases of the disease which might break out, without jeopardizing the health of any of the school children.
 When seen yesterday afternoon and asked concerning the scarlet fever sit uation. City Physician Frederick said:
 q think that it is safe to say that the scarlet fever situation is well in hand, and that there is very little If any cause for apprehension of another outbreak. Today is the thirteenth since the last case of the fever was re- ported, and at the present time there are only thre cases of the disease in the city, and they are in strict quar- antine. All of these cases which now exist are slight, and the patients are on their way to recovery.

THE REoRGANiZE0 CABINET.

The coming retirement of Secre. tary Shaw from the treasury, of Sec retary Hitchcock from the interior and the promotion of Attorney Gener. al Moody to the supreme court are bringing about almost an entire reor- ganization of President Roosevelt's cabinet, though only three of its nine members are going out.
 If the nominations sent by the Pres ident to the senate on the first day of the session are confirmed. only Sec retary of State Root, Secretary of War Taft and Secretary of Agricul- ture Wilson will keep their old places.
