THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, S EPTEMBER 17, 1902. MANY STUDENTS ENROLLING | All Indications Point to Large Attendaros at the Btate University, | SUPREME COURT ADOPTS A NEW RULE e Committee Husy Mapping Out algn—Speakers of National Reputation for State of Nebraska. | (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 18.—(Special.)~The fall semester at the State university began this morning. The first lessons will be given out Saturday and the first recitations will be held Monday. Until then the executive force of the miversity will devote its| efforts to registering and caring for the students. The registration rooms were crowded all day and the force had all it | could do to list the wtudents presenting themselves for matriculation. For the first time in the history ‘of the Law college its students were registered the opening week Usually the Law college does not begin until October, a month later than the academic and other departments, but this year all begin at the same time. The rush is expected to continue for sev- eral days. No comparison with last year can be made, because for the first two days the number Is only bounded by the abllity of the clerks to regfster them. The good times and the plentitude of money | among the farmers and tradesmen of the small towns is regarded as good grounds for bellef that the,attendance will exceed that of any previous year, although Mr Crabtree of the business staff says that the highest point in attendance was reached at a time when the opportunity for em- ployment was smallest. Quarrel Over Paving. A bitter quarrel s on between the prop- erty owners of three different streets in the fasbionable residence section over precedence In the matter of paving. Some of the aggrieved gentlemen threaten to carry It into court, a procceding which any improvement this fall is concerned. The council has ordered C street, from Eleventh to Seventeenth, paved with as- phalt. This takes up every bit of avallable money in the Intersection fund. B street property owners and persons Waehington between Seventeenth and Twenty-third streets, each of which com- prises mewly created districts, insist that thelr petitions were on file first and that the council cannot lawfully pass them by for any other section. The C street people retort that their petition was on file two years ago, but because the council had no money for intersections they had to walt #0 long that much property changed hando. In order to make it lawful they had to get out new petitions. The matter will be aired in court if the guarrel is longer maintained. Retall Grocers Here. The annual meeting of the Retall Grocers' assoolation was to have opened at tha Lin- dell hotel this afternoon, but the number In attendance was so small that it was de- termined to postpone the program of exer- elses until tomorrow. The Omaha delega- tion did not appear, as was anticipated, but word came that a half hundred of them ‘would be here tonight and tomorrow morn- ing. The program consists of addresses of welcome and a talk by President Coning- ham of the association. J. S. Bishop of Lincoln, oné of the organizers of the asso- clation, Is down for an extended address on a remodellng of the credit system and other members are expected to add some suggestions as to bettering and stremgth- ening the organization. J. BE. Willlams of South Bend, Ind., na- tlonal president, s expected tomorrow. A big banquet will be one of the closing fe tures. The small attendance today wi rather discouraging to the promoters, but they look for many from out in the state tomorrow. No towns have yet formally en- tered the race for-the location of the next convention. Adopt a New Rule. At today's session of the supreme court & new rule was promulgated by the clerk, acting under instructions from the judges. It reads: “Hereafter no continuances will be granted by this court after the case is once on the call." ‘ Ever since the court has shown signs of speedily catching up with the docket there has been a steady increase in the number of requests for continuances. The court bas been much annoyed to find, after lay- Ing out plans for a good term's work, half of the cases set go by the board because some attorney is not ready. This will not be permitted in the future. The attorneys ddn’t ltke the new rule very well, as they Inslst it 18 Impossible sometimes to tell so tar in advance as the making out of a call whether their business will always permit them to be here. Some other e of greater importance may call them elsewhere and_they think the court will find it difi- cult to enforce the new rule arbitrarily and yet do the right thing. The Miles will case, from Richardson tounty, was one of those that went over for the term. So was that brought by the state against the Union Pacifis, in which the ref- erees reported favoring a dismissal The major portion of the morning sitting was deyoted to memorial services in eulogy of the late Genio M. Lambertson and Wil- llam Leese. The full court and commis- slon, with several scores of the membors of the state bar, were present. Resolutions were presented by committees named by the court giving expression to the esteem of the court and the Nebraska bar for the Combined. | |in the state of unusual varfety will tle up all of the districts so far -ni living on | deceased. Eulogistic speeches were dellv- cred by Frank M. Hall and E. J. Hainer on Mr. Lambertson, while tributes to Mr. Leese were pald by John M. Stewart and Wilbur F. Bryant. Ex-Senator Allen pro- nounced a eulogy upon both of the de- parted, the supreme court justices also volcing like sentiments. Candidates Confer. J. H. Mickey, republican candidate for governor, E. H. Hinshaw, candidate for congress in the Fourth, and M. P. Kinkaid, candidate for congress in the Sixth dis- trict, lunched together today. The meet- ing was purely informal, and nelther knew the others were to be here today. All brought only the most roseate stories of campalgn prospects. Mapping Out Campaign. Chairman Lindsay and his assistants in charge of the republican state committce are mapping out a speaking campalgn The com- mittee already has assurances that eeveral speakers of national prominence will take the stump in Nebraska, but the most cheer- ing bit of information came today, when Secretary Allen was advised by wire from the republican national speaking bureau that Hon. David B. Henderson, speaker of the house of representatives, had been booked for four political addresses in the etate. The First and Second districts are considered so certaln to go republican that the speaker will be sent into the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts to ald in turning still further the tide that has set in against opponents of republicanism. Mr. Henderson's dates are not officlally an- nounced, but the following cities in all prob- ability will be the ones he will visit: Third district, Central City, Fourth district, Beatrice; Fifth district, Holdrege; Sixth district, St. Paul. The state committee has also recelved assurances that Con- gressman Foster of Vermont, and Eddy of Minnesota will each devote a week to speechmaking in this etate. Three of the state officers, Becretary of State Marsh, Attorney Genmeral Prout and Auditor Weston, sally forth this week on interests and those state ticket generally. On Friday the trio will visi{t the Kearney county republican convention at Minden, mingling with the delegates and addressing them If time allows.

Later in the campaign others of the state officers are planning to venmture out into the state to put in a few licks for the cause. of the republican Looks Good to Hinshaw. Hon. E. H. Hinshaw, republican candi- date In the Fourth Nebraska district, spent the day In the capital enroute from David City, where he discussed the issues last night, to Utlca, where he is booked for a speech tonight. Mr. Hinshaw, aside from viewing hie own chances as bright, waxes enthusfastic in prophesying a clean sweep for the republicans in the state in No- vember. “I have spoken in every county In the district during the last two months, and everywhere it is apparent that the repub- licans are destined to win a great vic- tory. The vote, very naturally will fall t of of two years ago, but the apathy is chiefly confined to the fusionists, most of whom are frank to admit they have no chance. 1 feel sure of own election, while Mickey snd the entire state ticket will carry the Fourth district by a round mafority.” Mr. Hinshaw announces the following dates for his speaking campaign: Septem- ber 17, Pleasantdale, afternoon; September 19, Osceola, afternoon; September 20, Cor- dova, afternoon; September 322, Hebron; September 23, Milford; September 24, Bar- neston, afternoon; September . 24, Blue Springs, night; September 25, Hubbell; September 26, Geneva, afternoon; Septem- ber 26, Strange, night; September 27, Bel- videre, afternoon; September 27, Bruning, night; September 29, Hampton; September 30, Marquette; October 1, Gresham; Octo- ber 2, Surprise; October 3, Ulyssess; Octo- ber 4, Ulysses.

RAISING FUNDS TO CARRY ON CONTEST Declare They Will Persist if it Results in Driving the Offendin reh Members Out of Church HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 16.—(Special Tel- | egram.)—The ministers of Hastings have stirred up a hornet's nest in the city which is liable to cause serious trouble before the end is fn sight. When some of the promi- nent ministers went slumming last week they did mot dream of the great surprise | in store for them. They had been informed | that members of various churches were gullty of patronizing certain disreputable places, but they could mot bring themselves to belleve the statement, and it was not until they went slumming and found mem- bers of thelr own churches in various dens of iniquity that they were convinced. The shock was so great to the clergy that they are now golng after various members of their respective churches with a sword of fire, and they have just decided upon defi- nite plans for a crusade against the gam- bling houses and gllded palaces in this city. At a meeting of the clergy held tonight each minister agreed to raise sufficlent funds with which to make the fight to the bitter end. Tomorrow 3,000 circulars will be scattered broadcast giving a graphic de- scription of the exact conditions of things s seen by the slumming committee, and through these circulars an appeal will be made to the law-abiding citizens to insist upon the removal of these things of inde- | cency and places of degradation. Rev. John | Power of the Episcopal church sald tonight \that the ministers had agreed to stand by each cther and fight the thing to a finish | even If they lost every member of their respective churches. TRACK LOWREY IN CORNFIELD \ Eaten Lunch, Discover Where He H but the Man rge. STANTON, Neb., Sept. 16.—(Special Tel- egram.)—The Blair dogs arrived this morn- ing at 11 o'clock, the Blair marshal in charge. They took the trail in Orelup's |large cornfield, where Lowrey had eaten | erackers and sardines yesterday, and fol- {lowed it two hours, always in the same fleld. The sandburs interfered with the dogs and they were pulled off. They found another place where he had eaten crackers and tomatoes. One hundred men are out searching closely every cornfield in the vicinity, but found no further trace. The Orelup place joins on the west the one owned by Lowrey's mother, where Miss Billawa's brother lives. The girl has been | there since the abduction. A detective with a party arrived from the west this morning. Lowrey was seen Monday morning about 17 o'clock in a cornfield, 300 yards west of the Billawa house, by Sam Longhry, a guard, who neglected to notify the sheriff. Longhry says he was sitting In a grove Monday morning on private business and was not more than 100 feet away from Low- rey, who ran west. His clothes were matted with sandburs, his face very dirty and his hat was pulled down. Longhry's statement s verified by tracks. Mr. Orelup is a bachélor and was away threshing Monday. He returned in the evening and found his house bad been broken {nto and crackers and sardines were missing. He notified the sheriff. It is the general opinion that Lowrey is bhanging around to kill the girl and pe: haps others. The house is being guarded. It is thought others knew what he wa going to do before the abduction. Miss Billawa is very nervous, cries much and is afraid for her lite. Lowrey is not in touch with friends yet. The good people *are much wrought up and others may be invited to leave town. Militla guns to be used hi been ordered by Governor Bavage.

All late corn is in- Jured. A farmer who has looked through a large number of flelds claims that G0 per cent of the corn Is badly hurt. Others place the amount damaged at 10 per cent.

CONDITION FAVORABLE FOR SPRING WHEAT | uth Checks the | Pleking Crop in Sections. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The Agricul- | tural department today fssued the following weekly crop summary The week ending September 15 was unusu- | ally cool throughout all dlstricts east of | the Rocky mountains, more particularly in the lake region, central valleys and gulf | states, with a genera! absence of rain or | only slight precipitation’ in the greater part of the area west of the Misslssippl river, | although heavy rains occurred in portions | ot Arkansas and Loulsiana., Needed ralns fell in the Ohio valley, lake region, middle and south Atlantic states, effectually re- lieving the drouth conditions In those dia- tricts. More or less damaging frosts occurred on | the 12th, 13th and 14th throughout the northwest, central valleys and lake region and as far south as Arkansas, and the northern portions of Mississippl, Alabama and Georgla. The north Pacific coast states continue to meed rain, but in the others the conditions along the Pacific coast were favorable. Late Corn Damage. Late corn has been seriously damaged by heavy frosts over the northern portion ¢ the corn belt, more especially to the west ward of the Mississippi river. Ohlo, In- diana, Illinols, Missouri and Kansas es- caped Injury, except in the northern por tion, where late corn was damaged In Towa, northern Nebraska, the Dakotas, Min- nesota and Wisconsin early corn has been eeriously injured. It Is estimated that more than one-halt of the crop of Towa and South Dakota wae too far advanced to be seriously hurt, but the bulk of the remainder has been badly damaged. Much corn has been | cut over the southern portion of the corn belt, where a fine crop is assured. The weather conditions have been favor- able for threshing spring wheat throughout the principal spring wheat states except in North Dakota, where high winds have in- terrupted this work to some extent. Cool Weather Hurts Cotton, The very cool weather has checked the opening of cotton In the central and west- ern portions of the cotton region. Picking bas, however, advanced rapidly generally throughout the belt, and as a rule, under favorable conditions, although pickers have been inadequate In some states. Over the southern portion of the cotton belt the bulk of the crop has been gath- ered and in some sections many flelds ars already abandoned. Rains have caused damage to open cotton in portions of Ar- kansas, Loulsiana, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, Some improvement fn the condition of apples is reported from Ohio and Illinols. A good crop is promised in Michigan, Wis- consin, Missouri and portions of Kansas, but In Indlana and generally throughout the middle Atlantic states a very light vield is indicated. In New York and New England apples bave been injured by high winds. The progress made with plowing for fall seeding hax been very satistactory throughout the central valleys and consid- erable winter wheat has been sown in Missourl, Kanmsas and Nebraska. This work has, however, been much delayed in the Interior portions of the middle Atlan- | tlc states and In parts of Tennessee, Okla- homa and Nebraska. | Tew Cure for Weak N Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump- tion cures all coughs, colds, grip aud lung | troubles or no pay. 50c, $1.00 { BIG DAY FOR COLORED PEOPLE Emancipation Day Exercises at Ne- braska City to Be on Large Scale.

The citizens have contributed $700 to be used In securing bands and other attrac- hood all are satisfied that fully one-half of the corn crop was safe before the re- cent frosts and that much of the remainder will yet ripen because the frost has not in- Jjured the stalks to any great degree. There will be some soft and chafy corn, as there always is, but the crop is in far better condition than was at first expected. Base Ball Player Injured. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Sept. 16.—(Spe- cial.)—Prosper Goumond, the center flelder for the Argo base ball team, who was fouled by Third baseman Daub of the Lee Glass Andreesen team, in the game here yesterday, sustained a bad fracture of the right leg, just above the ankle.
