Chautaugua People Get Tangled Up with a Oonstitutional Amendment. IT WAS SIMPLE ENOUGH AT FIRST. and r But it Proved Doutle Barrelled Double Acting and Altogeth Dissatis tory Another Mortgage Decided On, 'he Chautauqua board of trustees held a ing last evening in the Bourd of [rade rooms. The main object of the meeting had been anuounced to be the adoption of the amendment to the constitution which wus submitted to the bourd at its last meeting, changing the time of the unnual meeting for the election of officers from January to the third week following the close of tho ussom- bly semson. According to expectations, the amendment was brought up for consideration, Some suggested that in the ont of there being no assembly at some time in the fu.ure, thers could not be any annual meeting, and that it would be better to change the wording of tho amendment by changing the time to the third Monday in August, as that was sure to come around about every so often, without depend- m ing upon the assembly or any other coutin- gency. Some of the members objected, on the ground that any change of that kind would have to be laid over another ten days, according to the constitutional provision for amendments, so the original amendment was adonted No sooner had the amendment been adopted than complications began to avise, There were twenty-one trustecs already, and this would necessarily add seven more, unless thoso whose terms do not expire until next January would be kind enough to resign at oace, in order to reduce ths board to its normal size—a thing which they hud no as- surance would be doue. And even if tho extra trustces did resign, there would have to be an electiou of ofticers, in ovder to 11ve up to the provisisns of the amendmens, and as the officerc now elected hold over for several months yet there would be two sews of ofticers, unless one of them could be legis- lated out of ofiice. Aud this could not ve done without hurting the feclings of the ofticers who would be ousted, as well as transgressing all parifimentary rules, Sowie of the members held that these ob- jections hadno weicht, inasmuch us the inten- on of the board in pussing the amendment had uot intended that it should take effcet until next year. Others, howcver, were hon- est enough to admit that the idea that these complications might arise had nevor entered their heads, and that they onded that the new provision should tuke effect as 5000 05 pAssod, Aftor bver an hour had been spent in dis- Gugsing the affaivin all its bearings, it was decided that the gujckest way out of the dificulty was {o reseing the motion that had Dbeen carricd, adopting the fudtion, and plygy the whole business exactly where it was 170 wecks ago, This tvas done and the amend- ment was referred back to the same comuit- teo that dished it up i its presont unsatisfuctory way, and another meet- fug will bo held next Mouday eveaing to hear the report of the committee. It will be nearly tures weeks beforo the amendment can be fically passed aud the ex- ecutive committee put to work on the prepa- rations for next year. “The secretary was authorized to exccute & mortgagoe to some one in trust for the eight- een members of the voard wbo bad given their individual notes to secure the note of the corporation for &5,600 now held by Oflicer and Pusey, the mortgage to cover all the real estate of the assaciation, subject to the mort- gages which there are now on the property. ——— ONLY FIVE DAYS MORE.

NEBR Some Figures Concerning the wih, WaLLiNGrorp, Conn., Aug. 21.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: I am here in the | interest of a large enterprise for Buffaio county. The B of the 15th has been forwar- ded tome, and I road with pleasure the sugges- tion of & train through the oast, with Nebraska exhibits. Such a scheme, well planned and carried out, would [ believe ve of incalculablo advantago to the state. I am of the oelief that Nobraska is tne least known of any state in the country in propo tion to its marvelous growth and its poss vilities, present und future. Tho east, as rule, knows no difference between Kansas and Nebraska. But Ncbraska is aoundantly able to demonstrate, if she will, that the con- ditions which exist are bound to make of her tho greatest and richest agricultural state in the coun Conuecticut and all New Hnglanda have suffered greatly from losses in Kansas, and are disposed to condemn western investments geuerally. Nebraska’s newspapers and hor business incn should unite s one man n_the determination to scatter broudeast through- out the east tho facts (the facts are good enough), regarding Nebraska's climate, soil and location. The enclosed tiguves, which I have gathered from the Government Sta- tistical Abstract, finding the sverage aud per cent of increase, bringing Nobraska into comparison with other western states, tell | astory which has surprised me. 1 think they fully substantiato what I said at tho commencement, that Nebraska is the least known.
