Vote in Detail.

Republicans carried the school elections
yesterday In South Omaha by a heavy
majority. 4. r. Leigh, republican, pres
ent head OF the Board OF Education, was
returned by majority OF nearly
800 over Martin Collins. his nearest demo-
cratic competitor. Godfrey Horacek, re-
publican. was also returned by nearly
the same majority over tho highest dem
ocrat. while Dr. q. w. Faulk, a new
man. was elected by more than 300 over
the nearest democrat
The democrats were badly split, while
the republicans were practically solid for
the three men elected. The election was
a tribute TO the work that has been done
by the present republican Board OF Educa-
tion. Leigh and Horacek during their
incumbeney have sought 70 lift the
schools out OF debt and out OF politics.
They also began the work OF building
an industrial school for the young boys
who cannot afford to take a purely aca-
dcmic courRe at the high school
Their campaign for recollection was
made along those lines and though the
democrats sought by every means to
break their. lines the voters stood solidly

ID Re.aIn EnaIIsh rhateh Roof.

A strong appeal is made to lovers Of
English rural scenery, landowners,
stock breeders and others in favor Of
retaining the thatch roof for rural
cottages and farms. It is remarked
that there are few, If any, lovelier ar'i-
fetal things than matched English
cottage or farmstead, and none that
lave become more completely a part
Of the tradition and. the spirit Of Eng
lish landscape, Of the rural scenery
which has for centuries inspired the
work OF the greatest artists and poets.
The thatch Of these buildings, it Is
regretted, is to a large extent giving
place to iron roofs in many parts Of
the country, and the aim is to pre-
serve matched roofing where possible.
One Of the supporters Of the movement
quotes a famous live stock auctioneer,
who said he had never seen stock do
so well as when brought up under the
thatch roof. as it is warm in winter
and cool in summer--very important
factors in bringing a young animal
along, more or less, under moderate
