STUDENTS PAY FOR DAMAGE
Each Young Man Bears share I'm
Cost of Repairing High
school.

Superintendents Davidson and Mclean and
Principals Waterhorse and Graham OF the
Omaha and South Omaha schools yester-
day arranged for what they hope will be
the final chapter In the recent vandalism
on the Omaha and South Omaha high
schools. In consideration of the manner
in which the offending students presented
themselves and offered to make amends, 1t
was concluded TO permit the students to
retain their standing in the schools provid-
ing they restore the damaged property to
its original condition. The students involved
In this affair all expressed their regrets and
appeared to be chastened by their acts.
The offense with which these students
were charged was the painting of class
references on the stonework in front OF
the Omaha and South Omaha high schools,
the Omaha students going to South Omaha
and the students from the Magic City re-
taliating In Omaha. To restore the stone
work to a proper condition will cost each
student enough money to make the incl
dent worth remembering. Il is thought.
The school authorities, however, feel
pleased that the students came into the
open and confessed, although the affair
was a serious one.

The freight rate for both these Goals Is

What makes the difference in price in
Council Bluffs and in omaha?'
That question was asked of one dealer,
who said he could not understand II, unless
Council Bluffs was getting an inferior
grade Of Illinois nut while Omaha was
getting the washed coal, which is consid-
erably better
Washing takes out the sulphur and
makes a better coal. and the Illinois coal
in Omaha is egg-sized."
How about the spadra coal?' was asked
of the same dealer
81 don't understand that. unless they have
fight on in Council Bluffs and are selling
the coal for less than cost or at a very
small margin"
Another dealer said;
They can't sell a good quality of Illi-
nols nut far $3.50 and make anything on It,
and they surely don't make anything on the
spadra at $3.50. If they want to give their
coal away over there they are WELCOME
to do it."
From the other side of the River.
I'VE are selling these brands Of coal at
these prices because they give us rea-
sonable margin of profit" said an attache
of the firm Of william Welsh. the
Council Bluffs dealer. ''The Omaha
dealer who says we can't sell at these
prices and make a profit doesn't know
what he is talking about. He may I'M
derstand his business, but that does not
necessarily mean he understandS our busl-
ness. We are not in the business purely
for our health"
