Land Owners Protest
Consolidated School

Aurora, Neb.. March 3l.-(Spe-
cial deputy State Superintendent
Speedie presided at a hearing i'll the
office OF County Superintendent
Arthur S. Nelson. and listened to OBJ
Jections made by land holders against
having their land placed il the
Phillips consolidated district. The
principal argument urged against
the proposed consolidation was that
the taxes i'll the Phillips district are
much greater than in outside dis
tricts.. The protesting land owners
are closer TO the Phillips school than
to the proposed site OF the consoli-
dated school in the Murphy district.
The protesting land owners want TO
get into the Murphy district which
has not voted for consolidation. The
Phillips school is one Of the most
successful of its kind, in the state.

lnassed hundreds who, unable to en-

During the long pictureful service
Archbishop John ]. Glennon of St.
Louis eulogizcd the late cardinal as
the great sleader and soldier, the
great legislator, the iar-visioncd edu-
Gator, the great patriot, the kindly,
gentle old man
The service ended shortly after |
o'clock, after the cardinal had been
absolved of all sin, and the long re-
cessional streamed out.
With the fall Of evening, tender
hands lifted the frail body of the
churchman from the great purple ca
tafalque on which it had rested in
state for four days and placed it in
a simple coffin OF cardinal purple.
Then the casket was borne to the
white marble crypt under the sane
tury, i'll which six other archbishops
are sealed. A, simple ceremony, wit

tized, in which he had been conse-
Grated to the service of God, in
which he had been named the young
est bishop of his time and i'll which
he had been elevated to archbishop
and cardinal.
The cathedral was half filled when
the head OF the professional entered
shortly beforc-10 o'clock. The laity
were seated from the rear OF the
church, forward to the foot OF the
candle-ligllted bier. The forward
part of the cathedral was reserved
for the clergy.
The organ pealed. Into the church
filed a double column of seminary
Behind them came
priests. There were the white-sur-
