THE MORNING ASTORIAN. ASTORIA, OREGON. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY il, 1000V '4 HESTER EXONERATED School Board Finds Charges ire Unsubstantiated. SOME CHANGES ARE MADE Board Decide in Order to Avoia Trouble in Future, to Transfer Kester to the . Olney School and Place Professor i Willicut Over Alderbrook. i The matter gain Professor of the Ko-ter of charge the Al up last derbrook school, was taken night, by the Hoard of Directors of the Atoria school district, at its ad journed meeting, and the testimony in favor of Mr. Keter was submitted; numerous, pointed, pertinent, questions were put and answered, brief addresses bv the patrons of the school were a heard, and the whole subject, aa pre : eented, has been taken under considera tion by the board. Director J. A. Eakin was present lat night, with his colleagues, Taylor, Holms and Higgin. and the board is in full possession of all the facta and bearings of the ease, and will issue its findings, and decis ion, on Monday next. The case is one of many sides and phases, as is always ' the case where a numWr of families, and " the children of those families, are the first parties in the controversy, as against a teacher who, however able and willing he may be, has won the dis favor of the patrons and cannot re gain it. In other words, it is the many against one, and the one seriously handicapped by some mistakes, none of which will be condoned by the com plaining parties. The discipline of the public school system is involved in the case under review, as well as the sense , of injustice felt and expressed by the people of the Alderbrook school, and the board is the only source of authority and appeal in the premises and will no . doubt do exactly the thing that is re quired by the unpleasant exigencies. Later At the conclusion of the hear ing the board met and after carefully considering the case of Professor Kes ter exonerated him from the various specifications in the charges. It was thought however bv the members of the board that through mistake Mr. Kester had punished one boy who was innocent. In order to obviate any fur ther trouble and because of some feel ing engendered in the controversy, the board has transferred Mr. Kester to ' the Olney school, and Professor Willicut formerly principal of the Olney school, will hereafter have supervision of the Alderbrook school. - "ilHS BLIND MAN DIES. .

At the great center windows, directly opposite the main entrance of the room and overlooking the Fast Terrace, a superb floral bower had been contrived with exquisite skill and artistic taste. A semi-circle platform twelve inches high was constructed before the win dows. On this the ceremony took place, so that all in the room had practically an unobstructed view of it. The plat form was carpeted in green of hand some design, and over the carpet was thrown with artistic carelenes an elegant oriental rug, designed in cur ious and intricate figures. The color red predominated. Banked back of the platform and next to the windows were palms selected for the beauty and closeness of their leaves. This group of palms was fringed at the base with Atilbe Japonica. Forming a back- ground were dracena sanderii of green and white, and gorgeous Easter lilies. Above this platform there was a gar landing of greenhouse smilax and as paragus, with scores of roses nestling in the green. The effect of the whole was exquisitely beautiful. While the decoration in the other rooms on the main floor of the White House were beautiful they were less elaborate than those in the East Room. The vases in the green room were filled with Enchantress carnations of delicate pink and fern fronds. The blue room vases bore Eafiter lilies and fern fronds, while two great vases at each end of the mantel were filled with Easter lillies, and white roses. Vision of Grandeur.
