— THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUKRSDAY, BEPTEMBER 1903, L4 LECAL BATTLE FOR NORMAL Rivals of Kearney Talk of Restraining Board from Looating Bchool. NEXT CONTEST FOR “SUPERINTENDENT Chalrman and Sceretary of Repub- Menn State Committee Busy with the Preliminary Work of Campaign, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 2.—(Bpeclal.)—As a re- sult of the State Normal board locating | the new normal school at Kearney there are some very tender spots left on the citizens of some of the other towns that | were in the contest. Even Treasurer Mor tensen feels keenly disappointed. The treasurer had all the confidence in the | world that Ord would be the place, and he | nursed the thought untll he saw the | school bullding looming up in his town. It Ord couldn't get It, then the treasurer, it s sald, wanted it to go to Broken Bow, He waited just a little too long, and Mr. Rogers flopped from Broken Bow to Kear- ney. On several occasions Mr, Rogers had | changed his vote to iocate the school, un- thl finally he was successful. It was reported here this afternoon that an injunction would be asked for by one or more of the competing towns to pro- vent Kearney from getting the school | without a fight through the courts. The | request I8 to bo based on the fact that Kearncy offered twenty acres of land which {s not now in one tract, when the law requires that the land be one tract of not less than twenty acres; that Kear- ney was allowed to modify its blds after all were opened; and if these are not suf- ficlent to get the injunction, then the constitutionality of the law giving the | board the power to locate the school will bo attacked. The Kearney proposition for the school | was modified in that it offered $1,000 for repairing a bullding to be used as a dor- mitory. When the board examined the bullding they were sure it would cost more than that to do the work, and the people of Kearney offered to put the bullding in proper shape, no matter what the cost. Treasurer Mortensen belfeves that the in- junction will be asked for, while others think 1t will end in mere talk. Question of Supérintendent. The great question now before thé board is the election of a superintendent for the ! new school. It Is generally conceded that Stato Superintepdent Fowler has his hand out for the pidce, and 'it is the general bellet that he will land it. A local paper said here this morning that Superintend- ent Thomas of. Kearney and Mr. Fowler were in the race for it. Mr. Thomas was here this afternoon, and in speaking of it said: “I want it emphatically understood trat it Mr. Fowler wants the place I will not stand In his way." As these two men seem to be the only men so far connected with the superin- tendency it looks like Fowler. Mr. Thomas was naturally elated that Kearney got the school, and he does not belleve there will be any attempt on the part of anyone to prevent its being lo- cated. “‘Hastings and = Holdrege are too | 18 smooth shaven. | now being built at the s | including teams and wagons, the commissioners never signed it. _The board accepted the Culbertson exhibit be- cause it had long known of the socfety in that town. Setking Missing Man. John Rush of Omaha was here today secking information that would lead to the whereabouts of his father-in-law, James Ferry, aged 84 years. Mr. Ferry, while temporarily deranged, had wandered away from his home August 16 and was last heard of in Otoe county. It was stated then that he was headed for ldaho to visit relatives. Mr. Rush sald Mr. Ferry had no relatives In Idaho, but for some time he had labored under that belief. The miss- ing man Is described as being above m dium helght, weighs about 175 pounds and Whent he left home he wore a dark biue serge sult, a winter cap and tan slippers. These probably by this time are badly worn. Feed Chutes in Cells, The Board of Public Lands and Bufldings at a meeting this afternoon made a con- tract swith the Van Dorn Iron works to put In foods chutes in each of the cells te penitentiary. For this the firm is t> receive 60 cents more than the contract price for each cell The plans drawn by State Architect Tyler for the remodeling of the state house walks and steps at the corners of the grounds | were approved. The corner steps will be circular in shape. Planning a Milk Combine, Milk js holding the boards in Lincoln these days and as & clincher the town ie to have a mijk trust. Articles of incorpora- tion of the Lincoln Dairy company were prepared today. The capital stock is fixed at $26,00 and the articles are to be filed in & few days. The promoters say it ix inot a milk trust, but just an organization that will furnish pure milk without formal- dehyde dressing. It is the intention of the company to buy up all the milk routes of the city though net the cows. The company will allow the present dealers to keep their cows and will purchase all the milk they can furnish. The plans of the company have just re- cently become known and consequently some of the dairymen are objecting strenu- ously, They clalm that if the new com- pany gets the control of most of the milk routes it will mean that it can sell milk at any price it pleases. The company clalms its move is In the interest of the people and pure milk.’ ASSAULT PROVES EXPENSIVE One Hundred and Hleven Dollars the Bill for Striking a Preacher.

The booming of political guns will begin shortly, Chairman Lindsey of the repub- lican state central committee will move himselt here inside of two weeks and will personally take charge of the work of the campaign. The democrats, of course, will have nothing doing until Lee Herdman gets back from the north. Mr. Lindsey was here today and he and Becretary Allen talked over the plan of campaign. Mr. Lindsey expressed himself as being well pleased with the interest be- ing taken in the coming election by the county chairmen and said it augers well for a good, lvely campaign and an old-time republican majority.

It Is expected that & full membership of the committee will be present. Too Many Exhibits. State falr preparations are booming. For the first time in the history of the state, exhibits have been refused because of lack of space, Every horse stall is full and yes- terday the management wired an Ohio firm that it would be impossible to take care of their elghteen horses it wanted to send here. Bix entries for hogs were of- fered today that could not be accepted. No more applications for tent space on the grounds will be considered, as all avallable space has been taken. The grand stand is now being enlarged. This was found entirely Inadequate last year and the seating capacity will be Increased to accommodate 5,000 people. The traction company is running two cars to the grounds every day for the accommodation of workmen and Friday it will begin placing on more cars to be run every thirty minutes. 5 In the meantime Hitcheock county comes forward with its old county seat fight and wants to have rival agricultural ex- hibits. Trenton and Culbertson were the two towns fighting for space. The Culbert- son application for space was Indorsed by W. V. Taylor, who is president of an agri- cultural soclety. The Trenton people have organized & Harvest Home Agricultural soclety and sent representatives here with & certificate from the county commission- ers that it was the only organized society of the kind in the county. Mr. Taylor claims the certificate is untrue and that the finding will not be appealed. No ReMet for Telephone Company. FREMONT, Neb. Sept. 2.—(Speclal.)— The city counecil at an adjourned meeting last evening voted down two separate propositions to permit the Frem ' Tele- phone company to increaso its rates. The session was a rather exciting one. The committee appointed at the last meeting to examine the books of the company, for the purpose of verifylng the report of the committee from the Commercial club, sald they hadn't had time to examine the books, but they didn't doubt but the report was correct. Two propositions were then introduced and the fun commenced. The first one provided for an open rate for two years and then a rate to be fixed by the council. The company sald if the open gate was given they would raise residence and business telephones 050 cents each. After considerable discussion and an ex- planation by Mr. Courtright, representing the Fremont company, of their situation and inability to make things pay on the present rates, a motion to adopt the open rate proposition was lost by a vote of § to 3. On the motion to permit a raise of 50 cents per phone the vote was a tle, and Mayor Wolz declared the resolution lost. ‘What the next move will be is uncertain. Dates of Met! ist Conferences.

LIVELY TIMES AT REUNION Veterans Are Enjoying Themselves at Their Annual Gathering.

It was not the sight of bent and aged forms that made the scene somewhat pathetic. But it was the tone and drift of conversation of the military figures in biue that touched the heartstrings. No sooner were handshaxes exchanged when a ques- tlon would come forth asking of some comrade who was not present, only to be replied to that the veteran had lately joined the vast army In the great beyond, and that it would only be a matter of a few years until the heroes of the civil war would only: live in history.

Many of the old sol- dlers who are camping out on the ground with their families decided upon enter- talning some friends from the city and glve them a dinner In true army style. Now, it was never dreamed for a moment but that there were enough beans in camp to supply an entire army, but by the time preparations were made for the meal the sad truth was made known that beans could not be had for love or money.

DECIDES IN FAVOR OF KUNZ|BLUFFS MAN IS ARRESTED Judge Day Grants Applioation to Brjsin Oontract to Barber Oompany. INTIMATES HE WILL ISSUE FINAL DECREE v Some Unforeseen and Unknown Plan is Devised ‘City Will Have No Streets Paved This Yenr, Unless some plan can be devised not at present known to any of the city of- clals, to the contractors or to the attorneys for the city and the contractors, there will be no repairing of asphalt paved streets—except of the few streets still under maintenance contracts—during the present year. Judge Day yesterday afternoon declded in favor of the plaintiff in the application of Fred O. Kunz for an injunction restrain- Ing the city of Omaha from letting to the Barber Asphalt company a contract for re- pairing asphalt paved streets under the blds recelved several weeks ago. Kuns represented the Nebraska Bitulithic Pav- Ing company, which claimed that the bid of the Barber company was irregular. On a similar contention the Barber company about two months ago by Injundtion pro- ceodings prevented the city letting a con- tract to the Bitulithic company. Judge Day stated that the facts in the case were practically agreed to by both sides. On the law points he held that the city ‘has the right to accept surety bonds, and that it has the right to conduct certain business by concurrent resolutions, also that the letter accompanying the Barber bid specitylng the amount of bitumen in its asphalt, etc., did not vitiate its bid, On these points the ruling was against the plaintiff. But on the question of advertis- ing Judge Day held squarely for the plain- e, Reads the Law. He read the law on the question, which provides for an official paper of the city and for posting notices of letting of con- tracts on a bulletin board in the city hall In case the paper designated the officlal paper by the city refuses to publish city notices, then posting on the bulletin board shall be sufficient, but no showing what- ever had been made, the court stated, that any paper had so refused to publish city notices. He therefore held that the law regarding advertising had not been com- plied with by the city. If the plaintiff was ready to glve a good and substantial bond he would thereupon issue the order. The final decree in the case was not en- tered, as Judge Day sated he desired to hear from counsel on the question of the right of a taxpayer, standing simply on his bare legal rights, and with possibly not to exceed 6 cents worth of pecuniary Interest, to bring an action to prevent the city from entering into a contract when the law: gives it the right to make such contracts. This was a different case, the court stated from the case of Poppleton against Moores et al. on the water works matter, as in lhl'( case the action was brought to prevent the city doing that which it had not the legal right to do. The counsel will be heard on the above point tomorrow morning, and it is expected the decree will then be entered. Manager Grant of the Nebraska Bitulithic company stated that the required bond would be ready. A — Naddison on the Chippewn.
