LINCOLN THINKS
GRAFT is TO QUIT
Story is Here Branded as a
Fabrication Woven by
Some Interested Parties.
TALK OF HIS SUCCESSOR

A query from Lincoln asking
whether Superintendent Graft OF the
public schools intended to resign
brought forth denial from that Of
flcial's Office.
Thus rumor, which seems to be
only rumor. gained such momentum
that members of the Board of Edit
cation are discussing the matter,
Chairman Wells Of the teachers
committee stated he had heard moth
ing of an authentic nature on this
subject, but had heard the rumor.
1t is believed the report was given
currency by persons unfriendly to the
present school administration.
The Lincoln story is that Super
intendent Graft. whose term will ex-
pire August OF this year, intends to
engage in another line of work. 1t
is further stated that n. NJ. Graham,
formerly superintendent OF the South
Omaha schools and assistant superin-
tendent of the Greater Omaha sys-
TEN for year after the merger, is
in the field for the alleged prospective
vacancy
The story includes Fred Hunter,
superintendent of the Lincoln schools,
as being groomcd for the Omaha
superintendency. And, as the plots,
thickcn, the Lincoln yarn has it that
Assistant Superintendent Ryan of the
local schools recently journeyed to
Lincoln in connection with this sit
uation, her mission being to interest
Prof. Hunter as preferred candi-
date against Prof. Graham
Miss Ryan averred her trip to Lin
coin was solely to attend a meeting
of the Nebraska Woman's Educa-
tional association.
The Lincoln story is dscredited at
the local school headquarters, where
it was branded as yarn out of the
whole cloth.

mors started. All | can state is that

Presidency of Sioux Falls
Lutheran Normal.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June Mem

of the Lutheran Normal school gave
a farewell reception Sunday after
noon in honor of President z. ]. Or
dal. whose resignation as head of
that institution has been accepted by
the board of trustees, and will prob
ably go into effect Aug. 1. The re-
ception was n the nature of a sur
prise for Mr.. and Mrs. Ordal.
Mr.. Ordal has served as head of
the Sioux Falls institution since Aug.
1, 1908, during which time the
school has experienced large and
substantial growth. He leaves the
institution with the school campus
enlarged from seven to 15 acres, and
with a fund Of $4,000 on hand for
the erection Of an administration
building. "Mr. Ordal is appreciated
by large community which recog-
nizes him as the guiding force behind
the substantial growth of the insti-
tuition, and he is valued accordingly
as al effective community asset -
says the Sioux Falls Press in voicing
regret at his departure.
Mr.. Ordal's successor has not az
yet been named, but it is likely that
H. S. Hilleboe, principal of the pre-
paratory department of Luther col
lege, will be selected for the position.

during the past week. They pur-

nous mare "Pensa Maid" The mare
Adelaide" has been brought along
very carefully, with the intentions Of
winning some of the large stakes.
She has been raced some and shows
great promise. One Of the owners,
Mr.. Roman, hasn't campaigned any
since he had the famous pacing mare
RUBY NJ" an animal that raced
consistently through Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Frank
Jewell was part owner of this ami
NAL also. Ruby NJ" had a very
promising career, but the owners ran
up against bad luck with her, as at
the last meeting they attended the
express car failed to arrive and the
horse was shipped in an open stock
car and on the way contracted a cold
from which she never rallied.
But the new racer is a horse that
will make them all go some, so any
one figuring on racing through this
section in the green" classes had
better be getting ready.
