CAPITAL CITY (DAL BARONS They Form a Pool and Exact Exor- bitant Rates From Consumors, UNIVERSITY A Flourishing Condition of the Insti- tation Shown at the Regent's Meeting ders--State House Notes. BTATE AFF AIRS. [PROM THFE DEE'S LINCOLN BURRAU. | In the carly fall months the coal dealers of Lincoln formed a pool that in all its worki 15 equal to a modern monopoly trust in dic tating prices. The pool opened out in busi ness by adopting a strictly cash basis, under the plea that coal could thus be furnished to tho consumer at a cheaper rate. Since the adoption of this plan there has not been a man, however worthy, who has not had to pay the cash for his coal, even if he had to patronize money sharks for a thirty-day loan upon which to keep warm. In the mea coal has not been sold a particle ¢ was intimated, but, to tho contrary ced in price all along the line. A month ago u substantial reduction on freigit rates was secured on coal shipments and the belief was general tha t it would be followed by a corresponding reduction to the consumer, but, on the contrary, hard coal was advanced in price, The rate on hard coal to the city of Lincoln from Chicago is to-day only 15 cents more than the rato from Chicago to Omaha, and yet the Linc coul dealers, who pretend to sell coal on thei oash basis at the lowest margin, exact §1 & ton more than coul has sold for i Omaha for the past thirty days. The rate on soft coal has been largely cut in the past six woeks, and yot Lincoln dealers sell soft coal at an avorage of b0 cents a ton more than soft conl sells for at Nebraska City after the freight to Lincoln is added. This is simply robbery practiced on the people of Lincoln It shows that the coal dealers of Lincoln are in a combination, so that no matter what re- ductions in rates are gained they simply add to it their profit and pocket it with the” sang froid of a professional. The tactics of the coal dealers of Lincoln, if uncontested for coming four months, ure such as will enrich them so they can retire from business with a competen and this competency will be wring from the masses of the people and from those who have waged the war for cheaper rates, only to see the concessions swallowed by this coal pool anaconda. A judgment day to the coal pool of Lincoln cantiot come too speedily. AN IMPORTANT DECISI 0 Judge Chapmas srduy rendered a do- cision in the district court of much more than local interest and importan The decision ‘was inone of the Dawson will cases that in- volves over §50,000 worth of Lincoln property and that, in part, have been through all tho federal courts, ' These cases arose over the construction of a will relative to valuablo city property. ‘They involved the ejectment of numerous residenters and property holders and one of the cases of ojectment ran tho course of the federal courts ‘and was decided agawst the present holder and occupant. Other owners then banded together and tinued the fight, and when ejectment was brought against them in federal courts a new showing was made in which these cases were sent back to the courts as having the proper jurisdiction, The fight then commenced in the state court at the lust term of the district court before Judge Chapman and it was a_decision on this hearing that he gave yesterday. The decis jon is~ directly opposite to that found in the like case in the United States supreme court., The decision created a whirl of excitement among the members of the bar when it was given and it means a great many dollars for the oceupants of the property, many of whom are poor poople. The case will now go to the supreme court of the state and if that holds with the decision of Judge Chapman, as many attorneys believe it will, the case will ond with aportion of the property in the hands of cach side in controversy, onc side claiming for the federal and the other for the state courts, WORK OF THE REGENTS. ‘The board of regents convened yesterday afternoon. There were present Messrs, Gere, Burnham, Hull, Holmes and Mallalieu. The principal business was listening to_re- ports from the chancellor and steward. The chancellor's report shows that the number of students in the collegiate classes is far in excess of former years, nor has the prepara- tory or Latin school declined in point of num- bor, aithough the requirements for admission have been increased. The secretary and steward's report set forth the improvements made since the last meeting, the most im- portant being that of putting in substantial cross walls in the basement of the main build- ing, making a substantial structure. The first floor has also undergone needed repairs and presents a favorable uppearance. nt Mallalieu introduced a resolution looking to a chunge in the methods of deal- ing with the senior class. Heretofore the members have been unable to learn whother their standing was of sufficiont grade to per- mit them to raduate until a_short time be- fore the day of graduation, This led to much embarrassiient’ and - unpleasantuess, The rosolution provides that tho final ox- amination ‘of the scnior class close two wecks before commencement. exerci: begin, thus giving the membBor tion in which to make prepa closing university exercises. 1t also provides that the standing of each member and the recommendations of the faculty shall Wwith the secretary within one week afte: termination of - examination, so that seniors ‘will know their fate in good scason. The financial report of the steward was ex- amined by the finance committee and found correct -y detail. ‘The foundation of the Grant memovial hall and industrial college building are being put in and the material used therein secms to be Airst-class. Prof. Bossy, dean of the agricultural col- loge, presented his report. It recommends holding several farmers' institutes during the winter and that the members of the agri- cultural department should take part in these institutes provided the ne sary assistance can be given their classes, in the absence of the professor. The dean suggests that Rob- ert irnas,” honorary lectu r on forestry, be invited to deliver six lectures on this very important subject and asks that somo defivite action be taken in roference to porfecting the organization of the agricultural experimental station in nc- cordance with the provisions of the Hateh bill. T'his bill failed to make the appropriation as it contemplated, on account of some technical amendment, but the sup ition is that gress will take immediate steps o rectify this unintentional error. A number of state institations proceeded upon the assumption that the appropriation had been properly made and that the money would be available, and the failure of the bill to become a law has, in some cases, subjected them to ineon- venience. The probability, judging from lot- tors from the comptrollér of the United States treasury, is thata deficiency appro ln'(;llluu will be made to meet all these cases. Professor Bessy's report set forth the ob- jeets and aims of this station in & very clear and intelligent manner. Strong resolutions were passed fav the appointment of Licutenant Send!

He first stole an over- coat from Sam Sugarman’s store, on South Tenth strect, and then beat the proprietor into insensibility with the butt of hisrevolver. Half an hour later he was caught stealing another overcoat from L. O. Jones' store. After being arrested he made a desperate break for liberty, and was only captured by Ofticer Cullen after an exciting chase. He listened to the testimony agamst him yester- day with a half-sncaking, half-dogged air, and when called upon to testify said he had nothing to offer, The judge gave him eighty ys in the county jail, the first ten and last ¢of cach month on bread and water Carney 18 a thoroughbred tough and a dangoer- ous man to have at large.
