PAUL AMD KIMNEAPOLI5 SCHOOL BOARD SELECTS COAL Tho Balk of It i3 to Come from Mines in Ioweu Contracts Awarded Without Trouble But Fears Are Kxpt'essed That Bidders Cauuot Comply. The board of education met last night and allowed claims, awarded contracts for coal, made a few cnanges in the teaching force and authorized President Kuton and Secretary Hackney to deliver high school bonds amounting to $26,000.

This latter action was sug-gexied by H. A. Babcock as a method to satisfy prospective purcoasers who at first wanted the present oiheers to resign temporarily so that the. bonds could be, delivered by the same officers wtio Signed them. Committee on care of buildings and property recommended that Smoky Hollow coal of Avery, be selected as the kind of coal to be used and that the Clark Coal company tc given the contract at $2.14 for mine run or screened nut and at $1.64 for steam coal; that Duquoln lump at $4.40 per ton be 1 selected for use in stoves and that Acker Sc Reddish -be given the contract; that Excelsior Colorado lump at $5.75 per ton be used for stoves and that the contract be given to the Whitebreast Coal and Lime company, this to be used.

in. stoves where Uuquoin coal cannot be ustd; that clashed coke be bougnt Tof the. Union Fuel company at that Weir City run at $3.07 be used for stoves and that the contract be given' Lincoln Coal company. These recommendations -wpk sighed by George W. Bonnell, W.

A. Hackney and O. V. Eaton. The board adopted the report without much discussion.

Mfmbers of the board doubted the ability of contractors to furnish Weir City or Pittsburg coal in sufficient quantities. In -the past coal from; those regions was not to be had when needed and the board has been compelled to accept other coal late in the winter. I A representative of the Lincoln Coal company agreed to give bond to furnish plenty of Weir.Clty or Pittsburg coal. It was reported privately to mtmbers that troubfe might be encountered later when the successful bidders were called on to furnish coal specified in contracts because one dealer claims to have the soie right to sell coal which another has agreed to furnish. The largest contract was secured by the Clark Coal company.

Last winter the board used 1,100 tons of Smoky Hollow coal. TEACHING FORCE. The committee on teachers recommended that Mrs. Danlelson's election to a prlncipalship be continued without a change of salary and that she be assigned at the Central school when the grades are returned there; that Miss Beth Brenizer be elected as principal and assigned to the Saratoga school; that Miss Anna Tibbets be given a vacation of one year as requested by her, that MI99 fiphn Dewell be elected to -and assigned to the principalsWp of the Prescott school; mat oirs. jyiaggie Allen be elected as supply teacher.

This report was adopted. i Estimate No. 10. for, erection of thei high sohool building, amounting to $1,670, was allowed in favor of Trick Olsen. Grace Kelly were allowed $S16 on their contract for erecting a boiler house -on the high school grounds.

James Tyler Sc Son were allowed $75 on account of services on drawings for high school building plans. L. W. Pomerene was allowed $581 on account for putting in. A steam heating plant in the new high school building.

The claim of George H. Worseley for putting in water service at the Saratoga building, amounting to $90.35, was allowed. 1 Janet Marferding reported the loss of school warrant No. 6603, for $16.92 and asked for a duplicate. The boar4 took ho action.

i Superintendent Saylor reported that he could give work to a few novices in kindergarten work. There is no salary, but those who devoted their time last year to learning methods of instruction In kindergarten work are now regular employes of the board.

Two Damsels Have a Nurrow Escape From Being Locked tp. Pounds of revelry by night attracted the attention ofc-Offlcer Snell last night to Frohm's saloon on street. On entering and going Into the rear portion, which curtained off answers as a wine room he found two young girls and three or four young men drinking' and singing. He took the two girls into cus tody and escorted them to the Captain Otto took them into the private office. Very soon a young man who has caused some trouble to the police put In an appearance to "defend" them.

He was speedily convinced Ire had better go home to bed. Tretty soon a young i .3 1 -tvi Yio. rn tyi at the fair grounds came In. He had a tendency to tip either baCKwaras or iorwarus anu finally relied chiefly on the wall for support. He was inquiring for girl that he had got an acquaintance with in a saloon.

He was considerably muddled and afforded much amusement by his naive remarks. In a iittle bit twa young fellows, one a hotel bell boy, put in appearance to Inquire after the girls. They were warnpd to get right out or Ihey would be locked up for enticing the Birls into a wine room. After a lecture of half an hour that made the girls weep, Captain Otto told them to go home.

(Special.) Ames college and Nebraska university football teams met in a stubbornly, fought contest this afternoon, the w.nning. Trie score, 10 to does not show the closeness of the game. Tne Nebraska played at a sreat disadvantage owing to the greatly superior weight of the opposing men and to the fact that the Ames team has been in training for eign: weeks ami was in much for a hard game. The university team played strong defensive game and wa on.y prevented from swing by a mistake in signals. A strong wind aided Ames in the first half and died down when it would have aided Nebraska che second half.

Both teams played a good, clean game and little kicking was indulged in by either side. Nebraska played seven new men and all did weli. Captain Shedd ran the team with good judgment and gained every time he took the ball, Wil-liams, 'Montgomery and the new men behind the line, all did well and the new men in the line showed up finely. The university management is weil satisfied, with the work or the team, as Ames is probably the strongest team in the west at this time of the year. The line-up: Nebraska.
