AGITATED OVER THE WINE ROOMS Order of Mayor Graham to Close The Up Disregarded—C. C. White, Crete M Diex Suddenly—Mae- Lean Addresses the Students. LINCOLN, Sept. 20.—(Special.)—This morn- ng the Methodist conference listened to a short lecture by Bishop Newman. The sub- Ject was “Methods of Work.” Attention was called to the necessity of pastors having cer- tain specified hours for study and research in order to more perfectly fit themselves for thelr work. Charles Sumner and Roscos Conkling were alluded to as noted for their at- tention to the detalls of every-day work. As a man who was most attentive to the inci- dentals of his dally task, General Grant was spoken of. The speaker said that the great general's low standing at West Point was due to his neglect of the rules of the institution in respect to personal appearance; that he ranked high when great mental labor was re- Quired. Rev. H. T. Davis and Rev. W. B. Alex- mnder were elected reserve delegates to the general conference at Nex York. The con- ference went out to the Wesleyan university in the afternoon, ‘The wine room question Is agitating the ¢ ti- gens of Lincoln. A member of the police force is quoted as saying that at the present time there are more young women frequent- ing these rooms than ever before. He says that it is alarming to note the tender years of many of these habitues. Mayor Graham ordered these places closed up a few weeks since. No attention was paid to the order, nor has any apparent effort been made to en force it. Among the loudest objectors are the regular saloon keepers. Some of the propri- etors of the wine rooms themselves say that while they like the recelpts from this branch of the business, yet they do not want the trade from the young girls who are in the habit_of frequenting the rooms. They also say that it is impossibie to keep this class around them without a great deal of trouble SUDDEN DEATH AT CRETE. News was recelved in Lincoln this morn- ing of the death of C. C. White, the Crete miller, who expired of heart disease at 2 o'clock a. m. On Tuesday last Mr. White wa in this city, and while at the office of Ray- mond Bros. he complained of a severe pain in his chest and stomach. As he was a man of excellent health nothing serious was thought of the matter. The wife and several children who are left recelve the profound sympathy of many Lincoln friends, who knew the doceased as a loving and indulgent husband and father. Mr. White was one of the oldest settlers of this county. He was a prominent church worker and president of the board of directors of the Wesleyan uni- versity. This morning the conference of Methodist ministers recelved with great grief tho news of his sudden death. This morning Chancellor MacLean of the Stato university delivered an address of wel- come to the students in the chapel. He spoke for an hour, welcoming them in the ame of the United States, which had made rants of land for university purposes, 50 in behalf of the state of Nebraska which had done much in the way of appro- riations. The words of the chancellor, while arnest in their intent, were enlivened by touches of humor that evoked gemerous ap plause. He pald a glowing tribute to ex Chancellor Canfleld and alluded to what he bad accomplished in the upbullding of the university. The speaker welcomed the students to his office, to his home and his fireside. His remarks created a most favor- able impression.

The investigation was set for today at the auditor’s office, but tha in- junction put a stop to further proczedings at this time. It is made returnable Septzmber 28, when Judge Tibbetts will hear the cise. The petitioner gave a bond in the tum of $300, with A. Gre:namyer and W. B. Linch as suretles. The company sets up in the petition that it is doing a large business in eastorn Nebraska amenz some 6,000 busin and farmers, fnsuring farm building: and utensils against loss by fire, lightning or cyclones. It claims that because it has run counter to the Interests of th2 old line com- panies they have becomo jealous and are seeking, by the aid of Auditor Moore, to obstruct this business. In January last, the petitioner alleges, Auditor Moore caused a examination of its methods of cong bu ness, its standing and reliability, and issued a certificate to do business in Nebraski. Since that time the petitioner has obeyed the laws goveraing mutual insurance companies, but the auditor, it Is asserted, is prejudiced against the mutual plan of insurance, and has at different times interfered with it, lobbled the legislature against it, and gone to the governor and advised him to veto laws passad favorable to that plan of insurance, and that he has taken it upon himself to in- terfere at varlous times In benalf of the old line companies. The petition allegeg that with this efd In view the auditor has assumed to publcy investigate the business of the Farmers' Mu- tual, upon the pretense that he has a right to do s0, and that he even threatens to re voke its cortificate ‘and order plaintff to go out of busines Under the t men 1 of the injunction Auditor Moore Is restrained from almost everything in sight, and, accordinzly, he is a L'tt’e chary about committing himself by word of mouth Without quoting the auditor, the facts are that on June 8 R.

Otherwise I am entirely out of politics.” Do you regard the prosp: cratic party as favorable?"” “As I have been away for six months it might be well to wait till I studied the con- ditions here before answering your questions. However, everything indicates that we aro going to have good times again.
