Chaneellor Canfield of the State university has been among the | number, and with him are associated Messrs. ii. 8. Marwood, Will Hardy, A. E. Harvey, Ttev. E. H. Chapin, Prof. Fling and others At meeting held a few evenings since they formulated a bill which they propose to in- | troduce in the legislature at the next session providing (hat the governom shall appoint four per<ons who, with the chancellor of the | stato university, the board of regents of that | institution and the governor himself, shall | constitute the state board of charities and correction for investigation and counsel he measure provides thut the governor shall be the president of the board; that it #hall have the power of selecting a secretary | and a clerk; that the full term of the | appointive member i3 eight years, although | on the appointment of the first board their respective terms shall be graduated; that the commissioners shall draw no salaries and shall only be allowe actual traveling ex pouses; that the governor shall have the power to remove a member for neglect incompetency or other good cause and th the board suall have a room in the s ity capitol for ity exclusive use and shall meet :”'w chiaf of police for action, J least as often as once every three months. 1t 18 authorized to employ u general secr tary walary not to exceed $2,500, who | shall b ot less than 30 vears of age, shall ! be a graduate of some college or university of recog standing and shall have had lews than three years of special study of | questions involved iu the work of the | board He shall also serve us an instructor in tho State university on his pecullur line of work an the objects and work of the hoard, and at lenst $1.000 of his salary shall | be paid by the board of regents of the uni versity The duties of the secratary are enumerated at considerable length, He is expected to gather together every variety of information concerniug the condict of the state, county | and city charitable, reformatory and correc tional iustitutions, polnt out o the board all objectionable features of their conduct, sug- gest any desirable modifications and improve- | ments and exercise a general supervisory function in merely an advisory capacity, all of his reports beiig made to the board, which | in turn transmits them in its report to the | ®overnor.

It also provides that no | public buildings shall be erected for charita- Dle, “reformatory or correctional purposes in the state until the plans shall have been submitted to the board and approved by it.

A TRUE PHILANTHROPIST. William _Garrison of Maxwel cently addressed to Maye letter that holds him up to this community as a man whose heart is throbbing with the in- apiration of true benevelence. He in- formed the mayor that be had heard that there were in this city a great many women Who were in almost destitute circumstances | without homes or employment, and said | that us he was a bachelor, trying to keep | house for himself, he was very much in noed of a housekeeper, and could give a home to some gool, honest woman. He did not omit mention of the fact that he owned a farm, unenoumberod, with some lve stock upon 1it, that he was 83 years ©old, weighed 130 pounds, and would like a wifo of from 18 to 830 years. He also generously offered, if the mayor would only give the address of one whom the mayor thought would suit him, to send the kind- bearted executive $10 when he shall have married ber.

Detective Auble arrested him there, but his prisoner begged 50 hard to wes his wife and son in Lincoln that the detective, on his oromise to make no more trouble, brought him aronnd this way.

The friend with a bicycle telephoned thet the de- teative and his man were walting at Hallam, the third station south of Lincoln, and the deputy sherlf went down with his writ. Auble resisted and drew a gun, but was over- powered aud the party brought back. Auble | was arrested on the charge of attempting to kill the deputy, but the county attorney nolled the case.

L. Hutchison were arrested r the deed. Others are suspected. Hutchl- | son's son {5 only held ms a witness for the state, as it appears he was not implicated in the steallng but was present at the | division of the spoils.
