It has been over two years since Dempsey met deleat at the hands of Bob Fitzsimmons and since t time he has not been in the ring as a principal. Keogh entered the ring at ~19, while Dempsey weighed but 148, There was very little betting on the contest. The arti- cles of agreement stated that Keogh was to knock Demjy out in_four rounds. The purse was understood to be the gate receipts with a side bet of £500 eac There were four prelimin the main cvent, 1t was 11 Keogh entered the ring soon after by Dempsey with great cheering spent in arra of ceremonies announced the four-round con test.

Prospecting for Coal, CrestoN, Ia., Feb. 28.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—An effort is being made by parties interested to prospect for coal in Union county, Several men who claim to have considerable knowledge and experience in prospecting for the black diamonds have been over the county, studied the geograph- ical condition, and have come to the conclu- sion that along the north line of the county, near Grand river, there are favorable indi- cations of coal. A move is now on foot to haye the county levy a l1-mill tax to defray the expense of prospecting. If this project fails an attempt will be made to raise money by private sub- scription, and prominent and wealthy res dents of the county have signified their willingness to contribute tosuch a fund. Mr. V. Ashby, county surveyor, is very confident that coal in paying quaytities can be found, and his judgment is worlh considerable. The discovery of coal would be of untold benefit to Union county, as fuel is about the only necessity that the county does not possess.

The crowds in attendance were 80 large that the committee rooms were more than taxed to the limit of their ity and consequently an adjournment chamber. A large num- | ber of the prominent railroad men of the state were present, among them neral Man Holdrege of the B. & M., General Manager Burt of the Elkhorn, Gene Freight Agent Tiddemore of the Pacific | Short Line, General Solicitor Hawley, Gen- ral Passenger Agent Buchanan and Gen eral Freight Agent Morchouse, all of the Blkhorn, Vice President Kimball and As- sistant Solicitor Kélley of the Union Pacific. General Freight Agent Sholes and General Attorney Perrin of the Chicago, St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha, General Freight | Agent Smith and General Attorney Deweese | of the B. & M., General Attorney Jay of the Pacific Short Line and General Solicitor Low of the Rock Island General Muonger Burt's 7 The first representative of the railroad interests to speak was General Manager Burt of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railway. He commenced his remarks by the statement that he had prepared no set speech to make on this occasion. He be lieved that no other question under dis- cussion in the state of Nebraska as of more importance than the railroad question Upon the railroads more than upon all other agents the past development of Ne- braska has depended. Tt was unnecessary he said, to call the attention of the commit- tee to the fact that if the great railroad systems had never crossed the Missouri river Nebraska would not _be the great state she is today. What he said of the past he would say of the future. He believed that any undue interference with the natu Nebraska would retard the future development of the state. He did not deny the right of the state to regulate the railroads, provided the regulation was not carried too for. Mr. Burt deprecated any hasty action upon the part of the commiitec or the legis lature. He spoke of existing differences between the people and the railroads, and 1ed that they were beyond the redch of legislative enactment. He then compared Iowa and Nebrask said, was more densely populated, its p lation was more cqualiy distributed, volume of railroad business far Last year he said Jdowa raiscd bushels of grain, while Nebraska raised 239,- Towa had 15,000,000 head of while Nebraska had but 5,000,000, In addition Towa had large manufacturing interests and extensive coal mines. The in- | terstate business of the Huwkeye state was largely in excess of Nebraska's, It was im- possible, he asserted, for the legislature to chedule of rates on the busis of a comparison with the Iowa rates. Th enough combined wisdonm committee to do so. The only criterion, claimed, was the history of the past. Mr. Burt then entered upon a detailed statement as to the earnings and _expendi- | He took a very dis couraging view of the case, and claimed that radical railroad legislation would force his system into bankruptey. Mr, Holdrege Asks Investigation. General Manager Holdrege of the B. & M. followed Mr. Burt, He asked only for a careful investigation of the facts. He alluded to the statements made agaiusy the railroads by politicians and newspapers, buv said that he had ne cen any ofth on- firmation to justify the popular belief that railrond rates were too high, or that the railroads were oppressing the people. He then reviewed the history of the construction of the B. & M. and traced its zrowth from its inception to the present time. It now operates 5,300 miles west of the Missouri rver and has an actual cash investment of 09,400,000, In order to make money on this investment, said Mr. Holdrege it has been necessary to make rates favora. ble to the farming interests of the state. The company had endeavored, he said, to giv) the farmer a rate by which he could ship his commodities to Chicago and make his business profitable. Coming down to the question of rates, Mr, Holdrege claimed that the commodity rates in Nebraska were lower than those enioyed by any other great agricultural state. He med further that the rates on farm products were less than the actual cost of transporation. As an instance he quoted | the rates on corn from Hastings to Chicago. That rate was 23 cents per 100, or bl mills per ton per mile, while the actual cost of transportation is 9 mills per ton per mile, He claimed that the stock rates were practi- cally the same as in lowa, und the rates on hard coal were less. More than this, he claimed that the rail- roads need money 'to_make necessary im- provements. He claimed that if the rajl- roads were not interfered with they would spend in Nebraska in the next five years all the way from £12,000,000 to £18,000,000. He reminded the committee that there were still eieht or ten counties in Nebraska with. and that there were thousands acres of land too far from railroads to their cultivation practicable. He warned the committee that there would be | no more railroad construction in Nebraska in the future unless confiden in- »stments is restored. ilroads now nave no money m_the and their credit is exhausted. All Runuing at a Loss. General Freight Agent Tiddemore of the Pacitic Short Line spoke briefly in the in- | terest of his line. He quoted figures to show that his company had been operating the roud at a loss for some time. He was firmly of the opinion that any reduction of rat would wipe his road out of existence. General Attorney Perrin of the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road pro- sented no statistics for the reason that the general freight agent had been detained by a storm. He said he desired to protest any reduction for the r on that | company he represented unanle | to pay 1 single cent of dividends after paying operating expenses, interest on in debtedness and fixed charges. He asked the committee what excuse they would offer if it | enacted the Clarke bill and looked upon the | ruin which he firmly believed would stare the people in the face. Vice President Low of the Rock Island wanted to know if there were any bills before the legislature reducing the operating expenses of Nebraska railroads. He claimed that the people insisted in increasing the operating expenses, and at the same time they persisted in their efforts to whittle down rates. Superintendent Dickinson of the Union Pacitic stated that he didn't care to go into the rate question, He presented figures to show that the operating of the Omaha | & Republican Valley system cost the com- pany a heavy deflcit every vear. The stock- olders of the Union Pacific, he said, had received no dividends sinco 1884, A Dickinson's Salary. Senator Stewart, one of the members of the committce, asked Mr. Dickinson, “What is the largest salary paid by your company " “I don't know what the president re- ceives,” replied Mr. Dickinson, *“‘but the next highest salary is $12,000 per annum.’' “How many salarles are larger than $,000 a year?" was the question, "I can't say positively, but I can count them ou the fingers of my two hands,” was the respon: “My salary is 812,000 per annum. - Is that exhorbitant?' “‘Well, you can't put in more than 865 days,” retorted Stewart, 1 do it, though,” responded Dickinson. “‘What do you do to earn your salary?” asked the senator, and the controversy ended in o general laugh.

More than that, he said, the peole had re-elected by large majorities three members of the State Board of Transporta- tion who had signed the report declaring the present rates low enough.

INSTRUCTION wproving Their Condition ~Pressing Noods of the Institution Faciities Roquired. There is something like a world of enter taining instruction for thoughtful and ob- erving people in o visit to tho Nebraska School for the Deaf, beautifully located on high and handsomely. kept grounds in the northwestern suburos of Omaha. Alternat- ing thritls of pity and pleasure chase each other through the mind as one through aud inspects the work the pupils in each department—pity the unfortunate ones who have inherited an equal share of nature's choic gifts and pleasure in secing how, through the generosity of the state and the skill and patience of competent instructors the blight of life-long silence may be divested of its gloom Through five p of those who fall hei of for not sant mediums the minds to the common biess- ings of human existences are permitted to commune with he outside world out the deaf havo only four of the windows of the soul left open. They see and feel and tastle and smell, but that delightful window through which the music of nature flows the ear—is to them barred and bolted. With what an unspeakable yearning the deaf must long to catch the ‘sound of a human 2, 1o hear the peal of chiming bells and learn from the whispering winds and warbling birds what the music of nature is! Some Consolation for the Deaf. Yet a life of silence has some advantag i sounds, no wails or dirges reach the brain, Yes, nature grants some compensation for the blessings witheld from the deaf. They are not obliged to listen to the chilling whine of the winter's wind, to the shriek of the leather-lunged vender or the de: perate attempts of the amateur brass band to play *‘Little Annie Rooney.” But deaf persons are almost universally mute and thus the defect becomes doubly distressing and inconvenient. Modern science and skill ave accomplished wonders, however, in overcoming the dificulties with which deaf mntes are obliged to contend. The work of the Nebras! chool for the Deaf is doubly interesting just now or count of the fact that Prof. John A. pie, the superintendent, has recently int duced a new and original method of instruc tion, which, in all probability, will supplant the older methods in a very short time all over the country. As compared vith former methods it may be called the ‘complete thought™ or “'sentence” plan. In the early days of instruction for the deaf and dumb the alphabet was taught, then words and finally the vupils were taught to combine the words into: seuten, or complete thoughts. Prof. Gillegpie conceived the 1de several months ago of introducing the plan of presenting complete, thoughts to the chil- dren as soon as they, can form the letters, The blackboards ape, furnished with blinds or shades like thosp used for windows, the teacher writes a short sentence on the board, | and after allowing the pupils about one minute to look at it the blind is pulled down, shutting off the view, and the pupils then write on their slates what they saw on the board. ¥ Peculiar Faculty Displayed. 1t is surprising to nifte how the young peo- ple take in at a mera glanc s, and even two or three.of them up as high as forty or fifty words inall, and transfer them verbatim et literatiin et punctuatim from the plate of the mental photograph they caught, like the snip ghot of a kodak, to the slates in their hands, : The superintendent:and the teachers are very much pleased’ with the results thus far and are confident that greater progress can be made by following this plan than by the old a, b, ¢ and word methods. The work of instruction falls naturally into two divisions, the sign and the aural departments. Those who are absolutély deaf must depend of course entirely upon pantomime language, while those who have a slight power of hearing ave taken into the aural department, where they learn to talk by the use of speak- ing tubes. It has been found to be very advantageous in the education of deaf children to begin early age. In cases where there are meagerpow of hearing they are more likely to be quickened and strengthened into usefulness if takenat a tender age. . or this reason it has been deemed wise and expedient to establish a kindergarten for deaf children in the Nebraska School for the Deaf. No depart- | ment in the entire institution more interesting than the kindergart The voiceless little ones from 5 to 7 years old meet in the library for instruction under the admirable and patient care of Mi Lelia Vail, The little folks seem to enjoy their pantomimic play lessons very much. Passing to the more advanced grades the visitor is shown the work done in lang The blaakboard and the sign language are the means employed here. The teacher first tells the class a short sentence by means of the sign language, then she writes the samo thing upon the board and after permitting the pupiis to look at it & moment she pulls the blind and they then write it on their slates. The blind is then raised and the pupils compare and correct. Anxlous to Improve, The absorbing eagerness with which the pupils take hold of this work is remarkable. They are, as a rule, quick to detect mistakes when the curtain rises on the original and long before the teacher can pass around the e they have removed all the errors and have the copy corrected. The same system is followed right through the upper grades in language and history, and all the way up the excellence of the plan is manifest. The primary arithmetic class was taking the first lesson in division when th> super- intendent and B man visited the room. The plan of instruction is unique. The teacher placed the dividend, ten, and the divisor, two, in their proper places on the board and then placed ten cubes in a row across the table, touching each other, in front of the class. She then asked the class, by signs, how many times the two ~was contained in the ten. In a very short iMie sever hands went up, and o bright lad near the front was requested o step to the table and show by dividing the row of cubes what the denomination of the quotfent should be. He separated the row of cubes into two parts, ze. al passes | | public institutions in the state. , MARCH 1, 1893 0 taught to her.

The aspl T d sounds and the modulation of the voice aredifficultto teach to partially deaf persons, but with the the latest im ved ear trumpets they succend in accom plishing some surprising results. Another department of the work is that of lip reading. In this department the pupils e required to watch the movements of the lips and the positions assumed by the mouth and tongue and from these they judge of the words that are spoken. They areassisted in the work by means of signs ana writing on the board. “The aceuracy with which they judge of the sounds by the movements of the | lips is truly marvelous, but much depends | upon the skiil of tho porson speaking. The | teachers engaged in this department are ox perts in articulation. ‘Ihey mold the words | as carefully as u sculptor would carve an image on a'costly piece of decoration The engrossing interest manifested by the pupils in the simplest_details of the work is a striking feature of the instruction to a | visitor. “If people who can hear would search for the things they ought to know with the same carnestness,” said Superin tendent Gillespie, “as these unfortunate it tle folks reach out after the simplost rudi ments of an education, we would soon have a world full of scholars.’ | In the In artistic i, orally their assistance of Art Department. work the school is well to the front.

The Nebraska School for the Deafl seems to be in excellent hands. Superintendent Gillespie and his estimable wife, who fills the position of matron most admirably, are wonderfully well adapted to the superin- of such an institution, and they und them a corps of able and pain taking teachers, but there are certain fe tures of the school that need improvement These are in the line of better vilities. | While the building is as neat and clean as a pin and the kitchen and dining room depart- ments all that could be desired, there is a humiliating and almost shameful lack of sleeping room for the pupils. There are 143 pupils in the school and they are obliged to sleep in wards containing as high as ten double gbeds all in oner apartment, crowded in until there is reelyroom to walk be- twee It is even worse than thi The superintendent has found it necessary to put three or four beds in the hall. These are the accommodations for girls. Think ‘of twenty girls being obliged to sleep and per- form their toilets all n one room, and in ad- dition to this to let in eight or ten from the hall every morning to put on their clothes and prepare for the duties of the day ! The boys' sleeping apartments are crowded quite so badly, but they are from being sufficiently roomy. There a four and five beds in some of the chambers, ‘What the institution needs is a new and modern building, large enough to furnish good accommodations for at least 250 or H00 pupils. The superintendent now has on his list the names of fifty-tive pupils who will enter the school next year, thus bringing the nhmber up to something like 1 “*What on earth 1 am todo with them I cannot tell at present,” he remarked, as he stood looking into one of the crowded sleep- ing apartments. “We can furnish instru tion and food for them, but where are they going to sleep.” The institution see) managed, ns to be economically n of the annual e penses of similar institutions over the coun- try shows that whereas the average per pita cost last year in all the schools of the kind in the country was 207, the actual ex- | pense per pupil in the Nebraska school was | 151, or #.49 per pupil below average.

" A glance at some of the examination papers proved the truth of this statement, for the finguage employed was exceptionally clear and proper. Pupils who have even the most meagre powers of hearing are taken at once to the aural department. Five boys and girls ranging in age from 10 to 13 were grouped about a tall table upon which lay a speaking tube with five ear pieces to it, intended for the use of the teacher and five pupils. The teacher took up the speaking end of the instrument and each of the five pupils placed one of the receiving tubes to their ears and he lesson began. ; S Mury will take her cloak and put it on the chalr ip the corner,” said the teacher in a clear, delibefate tone of volce.
