Catlin and Dr. Rich- ard Stebbins of Omaha and Miss M. E. Ahern of Indianapolis. Strong endorssments were also ready urging the promotion of Miss Margaret O'Bricn, present assistant librarian A number of other avaifable candidates ex perienced in other libraries were also men tioned, and one of the library directors whe had attended the meeting of the American Library assciation at Denver reported the results of his consultation with leading Ii brarians of the country, who were present there. The threc we-ks that had elapsed since the meeting when the election of Ii brarian should have taken place however did not s-em to have been long enough for a majority of the members to inform them selves of the situation. Although a protest made that the library was suffering from lack of a head with a librarian’s authority and that these dilatory proceedings were acting to the detriment of the public sery ice, the majority of the board preferred tc delay action on» week until the regular meeting, the secretary being in ucted in the interval to sccure additional information con cerning certain candidates, Another application for the librarianship was re «d last night, Robert B. Peattie being the applicant. The secretary reported the replics ho had elicited to his inquiries but £tdll the majority members of the board that they were unprepared to vote. In r to give them further time, an ad Journment was taken for one week to Sep. tember 7, when it is expected that the elec tion of librarian, that should have taken place on Ju will be held.

Jenl Combat Ie- n. There was a hot fig the corner Fifteentl: street and Capitol evening at 6 o'clock, but on accoun mediation of some bystanders and man It did not come to a finish. The com batants were two women, ant” Anni Smith, with a dozen aliases, and Sadie Ever ett, and both out of the mill pretty much the worse for wear, the former having a goodly portion of her olothes torn off her body, ile the other had a disfigured face, a broken parasol and was minus a tooth. The trouble was over a man, Harry Hurst, whom the Smith woman claims as a lover. Of late the woman had suspected that Sadi Everett had been trying to win Hurst's af- fections, and when she saw the two talking together last evening she came to the con- clusion that her suspicions were well grounded. Consequently, when Rverett left Hurst a few minutes later and walked up the strest Smith stopped her and wanted to know what she had said to Hurst., It took only a few moments of heated conversation to bring them to the fighting point, and both went at it. It was no hair-pulling con- test, but each struck hard blows with fists and’ fect. Several attempts were made at separating them before they were finally torn apart.

He says that last night two young fellows, Jesse Sawyer and John Haze, with whom he has had trouble came to his house in an intoxicated lition, They entered and immediately fell upon him and would have killed him had he not fled. He exhibited bruises on his body and his torn clothing and said that his two assailants were uninjured, but spectators say that their hands and fac marked with { bloed.

A telegram was rec from the marshal of Clarinda ing that the woman’s.husband was a f hand and unable to do anything for his wife and family The sight of the woman trying to solace the little half-dressed chiliren was a pathetic one, as they stood around in their cramp. quarters at the city jall. The only sta'e that the woman will volunteer is that her husband was a well-to-do farmer two years ago, having property In contral Nebraska While there he became infatuated with a school teacher, neglected his wife and ignorel his chiliren.
