 To Re-elect School Board Members.
 When the polls open on the first election, the voters will have before them the appointment of successors to B. B. Honiss, F. F. Hanford and John A. Moore, three school board members whose three-year terms ex- plre at the end of the present fiscal year. None of the gentlemen have made any statements as yet but it is thought that they will all be can- dldates for reelection. Two of them, Messrs. Honiss and Hanford, are re- publicans and will have to be re-nom- mated at the G. o. P. caucus, and MT. Moore IS democrat, whose nomina- ton must come from that party.
 The retiring officers have proven very valuable on the board, and it IS generally hoped that they will be re- turned for three more years. At the last election, Arthur Woodruff, Sid- ney M. Cowles and w. H. Nye were oPpOAHlCU u lIle DOdrQ.

factory OF a new corporation composed
Of Chicago and Lincoln men. which is be-
ing Incorporated here this week under
the name of the No-Ice Refrigerator
company. with a capital stock of $4,000.
The factory will employ about twenty
five or thirty men at the start and will
manufacture a refrigerator which can be
run absolutely without any cost after

water pipes which are connected with
the water pipes used in the house, the
water passing through these pipes and
returning to the main pipe before II goes
to the kitchen, thus making the cost for
water nothing. The refrigerator is kept
slightly cooler by the water than with
ice in the usual way.
The company is considering propositions
from both Lincoln and Omaha and will
accept the one which will give them the
better facilities for getting their produce
on the market. They rather prefer
Omaha. as it has better railway facilities
