LINCOLN, Jan. 2.—(Special.)—After an address by N C. Schaeffer, state superin tendent bf echools of Pennsylvania, at St Paul's church last nignt on the subject “Does Bducation Pay?” the te Teachers’ association closed its meeting and many of the teachers immediately began prepara- | tions to leave the city. The meeting has been pronounced by all as the most su cessfal in the history of the assoclation both from the educztional and enjoyment standpointe. President Schurman, who had been with the teachers for two days and bad delivercd as many lectures, was bun- dled up and taken to Omaha by Attorney J. W. Battin, a former Cornellian, who came for him this morning During their entire stay here the teachers bave done good, honest work, and the last day there was no relaxation. The meeting opened In general session and an address was delivered by President Schurman, who talked of ““The Place of Literature in Edu- eation.” In the currienli of schools he was In- clined to place Literature first, history next and sclence third. Our civilization, he said, 1s inherited “rom the Greeks, and the Greek boy's educations was largely litera- | ture, with muste and athietics as its ac- | companiments, and to this fact he attrib- uted the further fact that the Greeks pre- sented the highest type of civilization. He also referred approvingly te the literary teachings of the Chinese, where the ehild was taught to participate in the affairs of government, and sald that while there was much in the lack of hospitality and other_characteristics of the Chinese open to crMicism, their attachment to literature was not to be despised. Over agalnst the lterary education, which during the last 100 years has produced more changes in the enrichment of the world thcn were produced during the 1,000 years preceding. The sclentific education taught the prac- tieal. It appeals to the reason, while the library education appeals to the soul and is Intended to preserve all that is best in man. Sarah Louise Arnold of Boston talked ot “The Citizen and the School,” and Nathan C. Schaeffer talked of ‘“The Grades of Thinking, and Thinking in the Grades. Election of Ofcers. After these literary proceedings the nom- inating committee hauled forth its report on officers and the report was unanimously accepted by the association. The following were clected for the ensulng year: A. W. | Fulmer, Pawnee, president; W. M. Kern, vice president; A. O. Thomas, Kearney, secretary; member of the execu- tive committee, J. B. Delzell, Lexington; reading circle board, W. C. Smith; educa- | tional council, C. E. Bessey, university. At the afternoon session of the county superintendent's section the principal pa- per read was “How May the Superintend- ents Reach the Varlous Educational Forces,” by C. Smrha of Fillmore county. This was discussed by W. T. Bottenfield of Nuckolls. The ‘“Graduation of Rural Bchools According to a Preseribed Cou of Study, and Is the New State Course Practical and Usable?’ was di~cussed by C. W. Henry, Ed C. Bishop, Estella M. Daniels and A. E. Ward. The college section wrestled with the question, “Should Four Years of High Bchool Work be Accepted for Admission to Nebraska Colleges Without Reference to the Subjects Pursued?” H. W. Caldwell of the university thcught so and George Suth- erland of Grand Island took the negative side of the question. The high school section listened to a pa- per on the “Strong and Weak Polnts in tho Average High School,” by J. W. Crabtree | of Lincoln. L. E. Mumford and J. C. Don- aldson discussed the question, ““Whether the Present Athletic Feature Makes the High School a Stronger Factor in the Com- mupity?" A. H. Waterhouse of Omaha talked to the grammar school department of “What the High School Has a Right to Expect of the Grammar School;" H. H. Hahn of Blair @iscussed “The Department Teaching in Grammer Grades” and W. L. Stephens lead the discussion. Gertrude Fleming of Fremont read a paper on “Pupils Out- side Reading,” and short talks were made by H. Myers of Oakland and E. B. Sherman of Schuyler. The school board section held another in- teresting meeting and many points of im- portance were discussed. In the primary section meeting the fol- lowing took part in the various discu slons: Venia M. Kellar, Elizabeth O'Con- nor, Mabel E. Wilcox, Mrs. F. E. Moores, Willlam Parker, Amelia Will, Nancy L. Lewis and Margaret Peery. During the teachers’ stay here the chimes in the St. Paul church have rung out regu- larly morning, noon and night and, befitting the occasion at the adjournment, played “Home, Sweet Home." The executive committee of the Superin- labor,” the say- ing runs, apd in & sense it is true. ut even love cannot lighten labor or make it easy for the wom- an who is iu_constant suf- fering from inflammation, ng - down pains or other womanly diseases.

State Veterinarian Thomas, Dr. Sprague of Butler county and Dr. Lessley of Saun- ders county would like to look after the state's veterinary business. Today a dele- gation of Saunders county people was here in the interest of Dr. Lessley and calied | upon Governor-elect Mickey. The governor intimated who will be the foriu- nate man. This afternoon the governor stated that he had no announcements to make at pres- ent. He intimated, however, that Adjutant General Colby would hold over until after the Inauguration at least. Figuring on Coal Contracts. The Board of Purchase and Supply is in session today and will be Suturday to pur- chase supplics for the various state inati- tutions. The coal question occupled some time of the board. Only one firm, however, the Whitebreast company, put in a bid. ‘This firm now has the contract to supply most of the institutions with fuel. This time it put in bids kinds of coal, and the company hac the option to furnish any one of the thirteen kinds It sees fit. At present, it is sald, the Lincoln asylum has two days' supply of coal, Beatrice three days and at Hastings | the supply will run out Saturday at moon. These are three of the institutions which received some of the precious emergency coal bought at prices above the contract price some time ago. Mcst of the after- noon was spent on figuring on the purchase of clothing for the inmates of the institu- tions. The Board of Irrigation met yesterday afternoon to pass on the appeal asked by Willlam Frank from the decision of See- retary Dobson In the case of the Farmers' Canal company. The board sustained ths decision of Mr. Dobson and refused to | grant a new hearing. This will throw the into the courts In the near future. Insuring Without Aathority. Ashton & Myer, attorneys, have written a letter to the insurance department of the auditor's office in which they go after the American Benevolent association. The attorneys say that the company has no right to do business in the state and that it advertises “no claims unpaid, no labil- ities, no claims in ltigation.” In contra- diction of this the attorneys say that re- cently one of their clients got judgment against the company for $225, which s still unpaid, though in the published list of paid claims this client is announced to have re- celved $50. The company sent him a check for that amount and it was refused. Babeock sald the company had no author- ity from the state to do business here. headquarters of the company s in St. Auditor Weston's Report. Auditor Weston today filed with the gov- ernor his annual report of his office. It contains 380 pages and is lssued earlier this year than ever before in the history of the state. His statemente of the condition of the state’s finances and his recommenda- tions follow: The matter calling most urgently for tentlop at the present time is the condi tion of state finances, botn prospectively. On November 3, 1%, the floating interest-bearing debt of the state amounted to 3$1.782,45.11. On_ November 30, 192, 1t amounted to $1,09,3%8.63—an Increase of $20684352. This Increase will be consid- erably augmented by the end of the bien- nial period for which the last legislative ap- grovriations were made. viz. April 1 196 y predecessors in office for & number of years past have called attention to the gradually Increasing debt of the state and the necessity for a revision of th Recommendations made have been to these conditions, proved the blennium pired. ‘the general fund appropriations made by the_legislature of 191 amounted to §2.35.- §71.71_for the biennium. The amount that can be realized by the general fund from the two state levies made during the bien- nium cannot exceed $1L.657.6%.31 and will probably be considerably less. The collec- tions from miscellaneous sources during the blennium credited to the general fund will approximate 329,00 Thus the total amount that the general fund can realize from all sources will be approximately 3l.- iT.6W31. As stated above, the appropria- tions amounted to §2,85.977.77, making a de- ficit of $408,278.46 for the blennium. Probable Receipta. Statemept No. 4 contains an estimate of probable receipts for the fiscal period com- mencing April 1, 198, and ending March 31, 1905, the period for which tne appropria- tona of the Twenty-elghth seasion of the legislature will be made. This estimate is based on actual re>eipts for the two years ending December 1, 192 The actual re- ceipts for the biennium ending March 51, 1905, cannot ba h greater than this esti- mate without a radical change in our rev- enue system and in the method of assessing property throughout the state.

For m: years past the_board has been permitted to levy only 5 milis for general fund purposes and for many ears under this limitation it has been im- possible to make revenues meet expendi- tures. Unless some provision can be made for an immediate and vry considerable In- crease in the total assessment of the state, | a result that does not at this moment seem | robable, the limit for the general fund evy should be enlarged to 6% or { mills.

Twoe of these companies have their origin in Omaha and Douglas county, Nebraska, one in Chicago, one in Denver. one in Pottawattamie county, lowa, two in Teller county, Colorado, and one in Chadron. For eix months last a party has been surveylng and seeking informa- tion about certain pleces of land Iying to the northeast of this place, but the ranchers of that section evidently supposed it to be the much-talked-of Colonel Mosby and Mosby's terrible gang of fence destroyers, and are yet making use of the incident and the doughty colonel as & bugaboo to frighten a chance unruly youngster into submission. Until recently, however, very | little thought was given the matter by | the citizens, but a few days ago, when | several cars of ofl well drilling machinery arrived in this city over the Burlington trom Colorado and a large force of men and teams were employed to move the ma- chinery to the location of operations, con- siderable excitement prevailed.

An anticline exists here, exposing the | Fort Benton shales, under- | lying which the Dakota sandstone is found | and it is this which is recognized through- | out the middle west as the best rock stratum for the collection and storage of | crude oil in large quantities. This crest or anticlinal fold forms a great | reservoir in an Inverted position which | fills up with ofl and gas forced into it by | the water from the surrounding strata. A compact covering of shale prevents the | escape of the ofl and gas from the reser- voir very much the same as a cork retains | the contents of a bottle. The strata up- lifted in this anticline belongs to the lower cretaceous beds which when covered with shale offer the most favorable points for boring from an economjc and sclentific standpoint. With no coal deposits or wood available within its borders, tn oil field would be a great boom for Nebraska. Two competing lines of railroad, the Elk- | horn and Burlington, enter this region, to which the oil could be piped and distributed throughout the state for fuel, lighting and lubricating purposes. Parties interested in the enterprise say that the work will be pushed with all pos- sible dispatch. MANGLED IN CORN SHREDDER | alrbury Mnon Hasx Arm Torm Off mad Side Badly ated. Lace!
