PAY INTEREST PROMPTLY People Who Lease and Buy Bchool Lands Keeping Up Their Oontracts. ASSESSORS ~ GATHERING = STATISTICS (From a 8taft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 20.—(Special.)—~A notable feature of the semi-annual apportionment of funds for the public schools is the in- crease in the revenue of interest on school and saline lands leased and sold. In. the half-year period ending May 1§ the total amount recelved on sale comiracts was $122,281, while in the corresponding period & year ago the receipts were oply $106.203. ‘The revenue from lease contracts was §78,- 332, while for the same period a year ago only $55,988 was received fram this source. These increases are still more gratifying when it is known that over $800,000 of school land contracts have been pald off since January 1, 1801, thus reducing tbe source from which the interest money is derived. Al school land, with the excep- tion of a few bundred acres has been leased, ‘and collections of inferest money e never easier. ls showing makes a boomerapg of the plank In last year's populist platform, in which the party patriots declared that they “viewed with alarm the great shrink- age In the revenue from the state school and saline lands.” The comparisons are made ‘With the figures of a period that averaged as high any corresponding period during the fusion sdministraticn They show that while the comtracts on thousands of acres bave been paid off the interest money has steadily increased. Other money in this semi-annual appor- tionment was derived as follows: State school taxes, $122514; interest om United States bonds, $300; Interest on ccun'y honds, $64,424; interest on warréats, $27.- 058; interest on school district bonds, 67, game and fish license fees, $2.068; peddlers’ lcense, $89; embalmers’ balance, €105, Total, $417,548.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 20.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—The republican primaries in this city resulted in a sweeping victory fer the Thompson or so-called machine element. Of the twenty city precincts only seven were carried for the direct primary or anti- machine ticket.

The primary system of veting in this contest had determined in advance the relative strength of the two candidates, and it was no surprise when the roll cajl gave Mr. Sloan 110 votes to Mr. Younge 78. After the adoption of resolutions | strongly endorsing Mr. Sloan's candidacy for the congressiopal nemination, a motion was carried authorizing him to eclect dele- | | gates to the congressional and state conven- tions in the interest of his candidacy. He thanked the convention for the courtesy shown him and named the delegates to Beatrice, but expressed his full confidence in the loyalty of every republican in the convention, and asked that the state delega- | tion be selected by them from the eightee: townships in the convention. A striking feature of the convention was the speech | of Hon. O. P. Baker of Exeter In seconding the motion extending the privilege to the successful candidate, in which he stated that he spoke by authority from Mr. Youngers. He assured the convention that the con- test jJust closed had not weakened the ties | of republicanism nor soured the unsuccess- ful candidate or his friends, that Fillmore county desired to have the republican nom- { ination for congressman and that from now until the convention Mr. Sloan would have no more earnest supporter than those who had stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr, Younger. His'speech was warmly received. Mr. Sloan also made a brief talk, which Colonel T. P.
