EDUCATIONAL LANDS LEASED. Two Hundrad Thousand Acres Taken Up in the Last Year, RAPID SETTLING IN THE STATE. Rumors About Boss Stout and His Contracts and What Cansed Them ~Changes at Nobesville— State Capital News. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUNRAU. The ords at the office of the commis- sioner of lande and buildings show that since the 1st of July, 1885, 191,865 acres of educational lands in this state have been leased. To cover this acreage there issued in duplicates 5,781 leases, and the lands so leased will average about two hundred and forty acres to ench applicant. The average value per acre of these leased lands of the past year will not vary greatly from $3.50 per acre. During this same period the sale of school lands has largely increased, and the fact is very evident that permanent settlers, now that speculators are shut out, are turning largely to the educat- jonal lands of the state for homes rather than join the rush of homesteaders who seck vacant lands under the government. There yet remains in the state a large amount of school land subjeet to lease, probably to approximate not far from two million acres, much of which has not as yet been appraised orput on the market. These lands are, many of them, valuable, and the rush for lands for noth- mg has eaused a good many settlers to over look the fact t homes ean be secured from state school lands that are in many respects more yaluable. The fact, however, that 200,000 were taken in the last year past, fur- :s wgood index for the demands for these lands, and is further an illustra- tion of the fact that the state of Nebraska is settling up at a rate rapid enough to exhaust all th ds in the state within a pe n ten years. EXAC IMORS have been afloat in the city for several alleging that a general transfer had de by Boss Stout of all his state regarding the leased labor at nitentinrys to C. W, Mosher, of the Capitol National bank, These rumors stated that the contract for the capitol building was transterred, but the state- ment was not given much thought, or it would be remembered. that Stout’s con- tract with the state in t matter is by gislature, and i:@n no way trans- is no foundation whatever for L rumors,” remarked Ber representatiye. in it,”" continued that gentleman,” is that Stout, wantin, to be reliecved of the wor at the penitentinry of feeding, clothing and guarding the prisoners, as secured the western manufacturing company which works some seventy of the conviets, and of which firm Tam a member,to attend to this v i in order that he mo nself, and also to reliey at the penitentiary, Mr. Bes 3 the latter ean take charge of quarry works out of Stout’s business wtth the state.”’ Mr, Beecher wiil be succeeded by Mr. Sutton, lately from Ohio, and eral changes will be made in the work ing force at Nobesbille on the 15t of the coming month THE LINCOLN TANNING COMPANY, so it is stated, have lately been reducing their force of workmen in their manufac- tory in this city and have transferred much of 1t to the penitentiary,where they manufacture with conv abor.

CAPITOL PICK-UPS. An official of the Insane hospital at the capitol building yesterday stated that three new patients’ were admitted at the hospital “the day previous, and that the numbér of patients re- ceived monthly would average some ten or twelve. The total number of inmates of the hospital is kept down to a basis on which all can be accommodated l]y)' frequent dismissals and escapes. Thursday the general average of escapes was maintained by a batient getting away, and up to last night the Tunatic bad not b recovered, In the secretary of state’s oflice day the thirteen $1,000 bonds, bridge bonds of Lincoln county, were being registered by the ary and duly at- tested with the great seal of the state of Nebraska. Major Moore, the letter carrier at the capitol, has returned from his wedding trip and finds it a hard place for a bride- croom among the oflicials who smoke huvannas, THE REGENTS FINISH UP. The regents of the State university here closed their business meeting, that has occupied three or four days, and the members of the board from abroad have returned homeward. At the last day's session of the board the following ap- pointments of instruction under the faculty were made for the coming school an-n , with full services assigned to each: ", Hogman, instructor in mathematics; J. G. White, instructor in physics; 8. I. hardt, nstructor in modern lan- f ages; H. W, Caldwell, instructor in history; Charles E. Bennett, principal of the Latin school: Sarah W. Moore, instructor in art; Ermma D, Cochran, instruector in music; Ellen Smith, custodian of the library; G. B, Frankferter, one of the class of 1886, assistant in the chemical labratory. Another step taken by the rogents was to instruct the proper per- sons in the faculty to enfer into an ar- rangement with Dr. F.S. Billings to open out an experimental service tending to- ward the establishment of a school of veterinary seience for the graduation, in time, of full fledged horse physicians, It is understood that this desire on the part of the regents cannot be consumated until the legisiature meets, when an ap- veal will be made for an appropriation to this end. On the eve of adjournment the present officers of the board were re- elected for the coming two years. CITY NOTES.

New York Mail and Expr During the early days of the New York Ledger Mr. Robert Bonner was noted for giving large sums of money to authors whose names were considered of more value than the amount of printed matter which the result of their pens. Many of the writers to whom he paid what might appear to be almost fabulous sums were then not so well known by name as Mr. Gladstone is to-day; but they were p inent enough for Mr. Bonner to desire that they should be recognized as con- tributors to his periodical. On one oc n he paid to Mr. Tennyson, now poet laurcate of England, the large sum of $5,000 for a_poom which only de twenty lines in that paper. This was at the rate of $250 a line—a price which would almost secem to be beyond the value of any written production. The same publisher, anxious to secure as a contributor the late Churles Dickens.. paid him 5,000 for a sketchy story which harely filled six columns of “the 'imdnen This was about the rate of $10 per line, and although the sketch was not the equal of many others which the author has had printed, with his name attached, in the English periodical All the Round, the money paid was not consid- ered too much for the work of an author whose name had become so popular. Edward Everett was sccured as an ex- clusive writer for the same periodical for one year at the rate of $110,000. He was ounly required to furnish one article each week. This contribution rarely filled a column when set up in the bold type of that periodical. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was paid $30,000 for ‘‘Norwood." r. Beecher at that time was a very popular preacher, and his name in connection with the work made it much desircd by readers of serial stories. Other less pop- ular writers, whose names were not 8o prominently before the publie, we: paid high y for serials of merit on condition t they should write exclu- sively for special publisher. Book write have been engaged by serial story publishers, merely for the purpose of getting their names associated with certain periodicals. Although the exact sum paid the war generals and the navy officers who have been writing historic sketches of the late war in a leading magazine is not known, it is said that al received far morelperiline for their contri- butions than the “‘generous offer’” made to Mr. Gladstone, ———— The Coming Sword Contest. ® Sergeant Walsh who was defeated by Duncan Ross, at Denver, for the Dono- hue gold medal, has challenged Ross to a sword contest to take place here as soon as possible, Ross, although haying one or two other watches on hand, has “'gat him on the list'’ with the others. If some of the officers or men at the Fort would like to try their prowess with the sword agagnst the champion, the contest will assume the proportions of a veritable tournament of old.

Late one evening a group of young men had the smoking room of the Blen- heim clubto thémselves. They sat m a circle round the blazing fire, chatting, laughing, chailing one another, and bandying jests. At length, during a momentary pause, one of the party, who was lounging iti'an’easy chair with his legs dangling over one of the arms and his hat tilted over his eyes, ialy took up a newspaper whith was at hand, and read out from the agony column the fotlowing advertisement: Jack: Meet me at the Marble Arch to- morrow, Tuesday, at 9 o’clock p. m. It 15 the last favor I shall ever ask. Come if you love me. MAGGIE. ‘There was a sneer on the face of the reader, and the announcement caused laughter among his audience. One of the young men turned toanother and id, jokingly: ack, the base deceiver! It's your lit tle milliner friend. You've behaved shockingly, and it's your duty to go.” “Bosh!"’ returned Jack Canistor, sip- ping tranquilly at his tumbler. She has consoled herself long ago. Besides, Maggie isn't her name.”’ “I've often wondered,” added another more seriously,*‘whether announcements of that kind are reallv genuine or not, I fancy they generally have a veiled roiticance. I've been told that they n have refercnce to contemplated burglaries or the disposition of plunder.” “There is a special staff of clerks at Scotland yard who keep a close watch on mysterious advertisements, and trained to translate ciphers,” remark Jack Canister, “Deuced uninterestinug and unprofitable occupation, I shouid think,”" rejoined the holder of the newspaper, ‘I know a man,” said young Haslett of the guards, “who wasmade a prec fool of by one of these appeals.

' The youngster who had suggested the expedition was s newly elected member of the club, whe, ¢even in his novitiate, had contrived ta estabitah a reputation for fastness of which he was immensely proud. He was universally hked on ac- count of his amiable disposition and hi boyish frankn. ud, though he fondly imagined that he had attained the dignity of a notorious man of pleasure, he was really regarded as an honest, foolish young fellow, who would soon sober down into a respectabie member of so- ciety. When the next evening arrived young Thurston, who was still determined 0 carry out his investigation, found that none of his friends were disposed to ful il their promise of accompanying him. Their curiosity on the subject of the ad- vertisement had faded, and they all luufhiuxly made excuse.. Thurston him- self, to fetl the truth, was strongly in- clined to yicld to their example, but,with characteristic honesty, he did not like to draw back trom his own proposal.
