(From a Staft Correspondent ) LINCOLN, Dec. 30.—(Special,)—Notwith standing the fact that Governor Savage has given it out that he did ot want to be bothered with the Om police cqmmis slon appointments until after the forty days bad expired in which motions fo rehearing of the Redel] case may be filed, { 15 known that efforts are being made to arm him with legal advice sufficient to satdefy him that he may act. It will be temembered that as soon the decision was handed down the governor hurried back trom Chicago to be on the ground promptly with his police commission ap jointments, and when jt was found that thero wasgsome question still as to the Sogkt tatil iof the' aubieen We oalled ugon Deputy Attorney General Brown for an opinion to be rendered at once in the ab eence of the attorney generaf, who was in Washington in attendance upon the su preme court thure Deputy Attorney General Brown looked up the law, with the conclusion that the governor would have no more yrance of ntees than had Governor him, but when he reduced Bis views to writing snd offered them tu the governor the latter refused to accept them. Not willing to walt until Attorney General Prout, who w il absent, should bave returned, application was mad the supreme court through Judgd He for instructions and guidance for erna. torlal action, but the court politely de clined to furnish the information Iu the meanwhile Attorney General Prout seturned and the r owas referred to him, and pending his inability to locate requisl ithorities it was announce the governor was in no hurry after all and would not give Omaha police matters even another thought until the forty-day limit for the iesuance of the mandate had come the expectation belng that by, that time, with the retirement of Judge Norval from the bench and the acceesion of Judge Sedg- wick in his place, something might turn up to straighten things out In the meanwhile, however, Attorney General Prout Is still at work trylog to find material for an opinion that will re- verse that formulated by his deputy. It 15 sald that he has sought the assistance of John L. Webster of Omaha and the whole thing is now up to Webster to give the governor which to etand the legal framework upon Two weeks remain of the forty days’ stay, during which the attorney general will w Mr. Webster and by that time the tomes of legal lore are ex- pected to give forth an opinfon for the at- torney general which Governor Savage will be willing to accept . At upon Advises Sch An abstract of the last reports of all county superintendents In the state was made public today by = Superintendent Fowler. The perlod covered is the school roof 1900-1901 The report shows that the small schools greater in number than most of us sald Mr. Fowler. “There are 439 an average daily attendance n or less, 3,528 are know,” schools with of five or less, 1,841 with t with fifteen orgless and 4771 with twenty or less. There arc about 6,300 strictly rural school districts In the state. This makes nearly three-fourths of our rural school disiricts in each of which Is an wverage dally attendance too small for vig- crous, interesting an® profitable work, elther educationally, socially or financially No time need be spent in rehearsing thess tacts. No sohooi can claim cenditions for good work If {1t have less thun twenty-five puplls, yet there aret 4,771 rural schools in Nebraska in operation with an average daily atendance ranging from twenty puplls. 1 believe we are all ready to unite upon the proposition tha. the puplls In these small rural schools must be cdMlected fnto larger and better schools with better teachers, better paid. It does not matter how much we deplore the con- ditlon which makes consolidation of schools necessary, the fact remains that it is the only rational solutioy of the question that hag been offered Fiah and Superintendent W Fish Hatcherles today deposited ceeds of the sale of fish, amounting to $291, 1 the state treasury. The fish were old for private ponds In accordance with a pro- vialon in the Nebraska game law. This pay- ment was the first of its kind ever made.

Finally November 599, he commenced a sult in the rupreme court to oust it from doing business in this state, on the ground that It was violating the anti-trust law. Ref erces were subsequently appointed to take testimony, and the former attorney gen eral sought to adduce before them evidence showing that the Standar. compan | was a trust within the meaning of the statute decesso ~ Futile Effort, «hows that he procured of the supreme court submit {ts hooks order was unavailing The rec motion an order recting the com to inspection, The wrd in an_aMdavit reciting futile efforts his part to obtain materfal testimony | Omaha, Chicago and N York, he | s under oath that after dfiigent {n- {quiry he was unable to locate any of the { desired witn %, and that he abandoned for the time being the hope of procurin thetr testimony.

In quest of such testimony he went to Omaha, Chicago and New York. In the exercise of the great powers committed to his cars and as th result of an officlal zeal which made him famous he left to me at the close of his oficlal term only two documents which in any manner tended to prove that the Stands ard Oil company 1s doing business in viola- tion of the antl-trust law.

N, PROUT WARING HELD FOR FORGERY Son of Omaha Man A ed to Have Many Bad Checks, COLUMBUS, Neb. Dec. 30.—(Special Telegram.)—The young man under arrest at Columbus for forgery, Postmaster Kri mer having endorsed a check for $50 for him, is Frank E. Waring, son of the well known Omaha court reporter, H. M. War- fug. The father was here yesterday and says he is making an effort to have him sent to an insane asylum, as his mind is clearly unbalanced. The father also says that the woman with him is his wite. She accompanied the senior Waring to his home in Omaha. Young Waring has made regu- lar trips here for six months or more for the Elliott & Hatch Book Typewriter com pany, whose signature he is alleged to have forged, and his conduct never excited sus- plelon before. His preliminary hearing has not been held. He is wanted at Sibley, Ia., where he gave the name of H. F. Price and also at Worthington and Luverne. Minn., and Creston and Atlantic, Ia., for similar charges. His wife was heart. broken and objected seriously to leaving him. Explanation from the Father, Henry M. Waring, in referring to hie son's condition, says “I had hoped that publication would not be made of the fact of my son's arrest at Columbus, and it s with regret that I find 1 am compelled to take the public into my copfidence with regard to family mis- fortunes, but In view of the wide publica- tion of the doings of my son, piblished in the Council Bluffs columns of the city papers, 1 deem it necessary to do so, es- pecially in view of the telegram from Col- umbus giving his true name. Much that has been published in the Council Bluffs columns {8 untrue or greatly overdrawn while there 1s some truth in some of those statements. 1 suffered for a long time in | silence, and pald out dollars by the hun- dreds In an effort to keep the young man straight, but found it an impossibility. Some time ago 1 became convinced that he was not mentally responsible, and filed a complaint against him, charging him with insanity. He was apprehended, and after consultation with the insanity commission, in view of the fact that they did not believe that even if they committed him to the asylum that he would be kept there but a short time, it was thought best to have him committed to my custody, which was done. T placed him in a private sanitarium, but the expense was too great for me to stand, and I withdrew him after a time. Subsequently I again placed him there for a short time. He suddenly left town and I heard nothing more of him until Np- vember 27 last, when the sherlff of Wash- ington county Informed me that he had him in custody, but that the charge against him has been withdrawn. 1 went to Blair trom Tekamah, where I was then attending | court, and my wife brought him here. Owing to the fact that I expected to be absent from the city almost constantly for sev- oral weeks, (which has proven to be the case, having returned to this city from Blair one week ago last Saturday at the close of the term there), I had not the time to determine what to do with him, and g0 kept him fn seclusion here until 1 could return home to stay, when I could deter- mine what to do with him. The day before 1 returned from Blair he left the city. As soon as I returned home and found himegone, I immediately set to work to lo- cate him, and from Monday & week ago I have traveled nearly 1,500 miles on false clues, besides telephoning to numerous places within and without the state where | 1 hoped to apprehend him. On Saturday I was informed he was under arrest at York, not David City, and was to be taken to Columbus, to which place I immediately went. I firmly belleve the boy is not men- tally sound, and honestly belleving that I shall undertake to demonstrate it before the proper tribunal at the proper time un- til when I trust thepublic will withhold Judgment fn his case.” ICY SMILES OF THE YEARS 0ld and New Give Sunny Skies, Maintain a Tonch of Frigldity.

STATE SCHOOL TEACHER .CEMBER 1 N Advanes Guard Arrives in Lisceln for An B FULLY FIFTEEN HUNDRED EXPECTED Lincoln Demands Place on Execative Committee~Waterhouse and Some Others Object to Reing Can didates for President. (From & Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 30.—(Special Telegram.) Tonlght's trains brought in the advance guard of members of the Nebraska | State Teachers' assoctation, which will be in aonual session here on Wednesday Thursday and Friday of this week. A few | preliminary meetings will be held tomor row, but the real work of the convention will not be begun until New Year's dav President Hellzman of Beatrice and J. D. French of Hastings, members of the ex ecutive committee, arrived tonight and es tablished headquarters at the hotel. The | officers confidently expect an attendance of | tully 1,600 teachers. | The program for tomerrow consists of a | business session of county superintendents a meeting of the Nebraska Educational council and & high school debate. In the debate the high schools entered are: Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Nebraska Clty, Crete and York. Wednesday there will be lab | oratory demonstrations at the university and moetings of the various auxiliary asso- clations, including the county superintend ents and the ional council, and the [ day's exercises will close with a general as | sembly at the auditorium | With the members who arrived today {came several who are talked of for pres! dent of the association. But little political discussion is heard, however, and it fs not ltkely that efforts will be made in be half of any candidate untll Wednesday when practically the full attendance will be on the ground Presi ent Should nefit Assoctation. Prof. Condra of Lincoln, who has been mentioned for the presidency, sald this morning “What Lincqln should have is a place on the executive committee. As for the prest dency, the president should be ome who will be for the benefit of the association, instead of one to be benefited by the asso clation. What uee has been made of my name has been entirely without my knowl- edge or authority.” Superintendent A. 0. Thomas of Kearney was In the city this morning. He, too, has | been mentioned for the presidency and was lan active and promising candidate last year. He said this morning “It's only newepaper gossip. Two re- ports are always circulated by the papers at these annual eessions. One is that Su- | perintendent Pearse s coming down from | Omaha with his head filled with plans and | schiemes, and the other Is that 1 am coming with similar aspirations. The first I had | heard of my candidacy this year was when | T saw it tn the papers s to the attendance this year I fear it won't be quite what it was last year. I hope it will be up to the record, however, | but there are o many of the echools in the | North Platte district that are in session | this week that the attendance will be at- tected, 1 fear.” Waterhouse Objec Principal Waterhouse of Omaha objects to having his name linked to certaln polit- al movements within the organization. He has written “In the numerous | made for the | sociation political forecasts coming State Teachers' as- I have seen my name mentloned |as that of one of the candidates for the | presidency of the association. | “I am not and shall not be a candidate |1t 18 an ever recurring impression wtih me that there should be no candidates. The Sthte Teachers' assoclation was organized, I suspect, and s maintained for the pro fessional advancement of all fnterested in educational work and not for the local glorl fication of any Individual. There should be no candidate, but when any man's work or | position in the profession is of such a | character as to be an honor to us all, he should be made the spontaneous and unan- imous candidate. In becoming that honor, however, he has not had time to devote the whole assoclation period to buttonholing those who usually come from far and near for educational gain, but has spent his ordi- nary time in working out educational prob- lems for his people or institution and his association time in contributing to the edu- cational interest and value of section- or general meetings The presidency of the Nebraska State Teachers' association is not the right of any section of the state or of the educational work. It should be the proffered recognli- tion for eminence in some line of educa- tlonal work. “I do not feel at this time that my work or association with. my fellow teachers has been such as to entitle me to this recogni- | tion, and upon my own motion my candi- | dacy will never exist." Candidates for Certificates Twelve candidates for professional certifi- cates wera belng examined this morning. More were expected during the afternoon and more are on the road, to arrive to- | morrow. Those on duty this morning were F. A. Carmony, Falrbury; F. P. Costelloe, Alexandria; R. E.
