day evening at Lincoln high school.
' That the only action binding upon the
board of school directors.: will be the
affirmative ot negative vote on the pro
posed 1912 budget of $2,707,000 .was an
nounced' this morning. Other matters
submitted can be considered only In an
advisory way.
School Clerk R." H. Thomas announces
that there are 28,722 taxpayers qualified
to vote at the Friday evening meet
ing, which will' be held In a room capa
ble of seating perhaps $00. '
Whether an effort would be made to
determine that all voting were qualified
to do so, was not stated. At the meet
ing last year no such effort was made.
Sinking Fund Vrotlaloa.
Resolutions were submitted by the
Clvlo council thea calling" for a busi
ness manager for school affairs, a sink
ing fund with which to retire bonds
and a more economical construction ' of
buildings. This resolution was not then
considered, and a resolution of similar
nature 1b to be submitted again this
year.
During .the year, however, the board
lias made advance along the line sug
gested by the Ignored resolution of last
year. It is understood that the admin
istration of the business side of school
work has been practically vested in the
office of the clerk of the board. This
year's budget' provides for a sinking
fund with which to retire outstanding
bonds when they fall due. The pro
posed levy la 6 mills. Last year it was
6.3 mills. The estimate in detail is us

Did you ever see it rain money?
Well, that's what' happened at Sixth
and Washington streets about noon to
day. Dollars, half dollars, quarters,
dimes, nickels and cent pieces came in
showers.
And there was a scramble to pick
them up. Tho fellows wjio scrambled
were newsboys aged anywhere from five
to fifteen or more. There must have
been about 200 of thm.
Talk about football, well the best of
games wouldn't stand comparison with
the excitement when It rains coins.
When a bright copper Jingled on the
street, there was a grand rush, when a
dime shone through the thin mud on the
asphalt, the rush was still greater, but
when the half dollars or dollars spun
through space the boys leaped high with
Cutstretched hands. 'Invariably they
linded In a heap of several layers thick.
But no- one was 'injured, though many
were more or less covered with mud
Jrom head to foot.
A policeman on the beat tried to In
terfere but about that time the spec
tators got busy tossing more coin and
the "cop" was nearly torn off his feet
by the avalanche of young tflood that
swayed back and forth aa the coins
struck the pavement. The' officer sheep
ishly made his retreat and the. coin
showers continued for some time.
How many dollars were tossed to the
boys, would be hard to tell, but after
the shower a number of boys were sev
eral dollars to the good. Nearly every
one got away with a few cents. Most of
the coins were thrown from window in
the Wlloox building.

Italian infantry advancing through the

T
OMORROW IN QUIZ
FOUR CANDIDATES
SEEKING OFFICE OF
JUSTICE OF PEACE
Familiar names will be seen on the
ticket for tho nomination for Justice of
the peace when the Republican voters
go to the polls at the primary next
April. Four announced candidates for
the office are in the open, and all four
of them were candidates two years ago.
Two of this number are the Incum
bents, F. L. Olson and J. W. Bell.
The others aro Joseph H. Jones, an
dffice deputy under Sheriff Stevens, and
Harry U. Yanckwich. Olson and Bell
have been talked about for promotion
to: the circuit bench, but Bell has al
ready secured petition blanks for h,ls
campaign for reelection, and Olson is
likewise counted a candidate -for an
other term.
Jones felt encouraged by the vote he
received two years ago, and has madi
an early start, allying himself with
the progressive element. Yanckwich is
likewise exploiting progressive ideas,
and denies that he haa entered the
field to assist Bell or any other can
didate. It la expected that additional
aspirants will appear within the next
month.
Another race in which the candidates
of two years ago are expected to fight
it out again Is the one to decide who
will be coroner. Dr. Ben L. Norden,
the Incumbent, will be opposed by
Charles H. Skewes, who polled a large
vote two years ago on an anti-assembly
platform. A third name mentioned Is
that of Dr. S. C. Slocum.
