ETHODISTS ARE IN SESSION Governor Miokey One of t*e Oandidates for ( Delogate t3 Gezeral Oonference. SEVERAL COUNTIES SHORT OF TEACHERS f 014 Capitel Hotel Changes Hands a Will Be Run by the Proprictor of the Lincoln in the Futare, LINCOLN. Neb., Bept. 15.—(Special.)~ The | ebraska Methodist Episcopal conference comprising the Bouth Paltte territory, be- | gan its sessions here tonight with u 1 ception to Bishop Andrews of New York, | who will preside at the meetings. The ré- | ception was given under the auspices of | the Epworth league at the 8t. Paul church. | One of the important works of the conven- tion will be the election of four delegates to the general conference to be held at Los Angeles next May. This will be done probably Friday afternoon and much in- terest is belng manifested from the fact | that several parties want to go, among | them being a number of women, «')uvamnr‘1 Mickey, Dr. Paine and L. O. Jones, the| latter president of/ the Epworth league. | Among the prominent women candidates for the honor is Mrs. A. F. Newman, a sister of John M. Thurston and the first woman fo attend a general conference as & delegate from Nebraska. This next gen- eral conference will,be the first one in which women canisit without a debate. Just who the four delegates will be Is not known, and it is more than probable | that either Governor Mickey or Dr. Paine will be turned down, as both are members of the St. Paul church. Both have been 10 the general conference and last year Dr. Palne won out over Mr, Jones after a hard fight. When Gevornor Mickey came to town and placed his letter with the 8t. Paul people, it Injected another strong candidate in the fleld, in view of his services in the Methodist church. Dr. Paine, however, Is & member of the lay conference that selects the delegates to the general conference. Governor Mickey sald this morning that he was doing nothing to secure the honor and /did not Intend to, but i the church saw fit to send him he would be glad to go. The Nebraska conference includes those + churches in the South Platte country, and as far west as Hastings. Formerly the state consisted of this one conference, but it 1s now divided into four divisions, the others being the northwest section, which comprises that country around Chadron, the west division, which includes all the west- ern and the southwestern part of the state, and the north division, including Omaha and the northeast section of the state. This is the first time in sixteen years that the conference has met in Lincoln, and 1t is expected that fully 400 delegates will be in attendance. The church members in this city intend to do all in their power to entertain royally all visitors. Shortage of Teachers. Eastern teachers could find good em- ployment in Nebraska just about this time it they happened to be of that class that rates above the third grade. Reports re. celved by the stats superintendent show that the state fs short about 150 teachers. This is not due to a scarcity of material from which instructors are made, but from the fact that the ready made variety are all engaged, and that is the only kind the school boards of the state want. Reports show the number of teachers now lacking in these counties: Cherry, twenty; Custer, twenty; Dawes, ten; Red Willow, elght; Frontier, fifteen; Cheyenne, ten; Brown, ten; Boyd, ten, and Logan, four.' This lat- ter county employa only about twenty teachers in all In these counties no teacher holding a third grade certificate will be employed, none but the best being, wanted. The school term on the average.ls six months and the salary is from $3 to $0 a month. From the superintendent's office It Is learned that the state has just as many third grade teachers as formerly and that it s the higher quality demanded that has caused the shortage. Militia Preparing for Maneuvers. The members of the second regiment, Nebraska National Guard, are getting in shape to take part in the maneuvers at Fort Riley, beginning at a date in October to be named later. The regiment will be under the command of Colonel McDonald, and besides the regiment the signal corps, ‘with the hospital corps attached, will also ®o fraom Nebraska. All the regular sol- diers with the exception of a garrison force will go from Nebraska, Kansas, Mis- souri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Of the members of the National Guard t the several states it Is expected that fully 15,000 will attend. From here it is ex- pected that all members of the general staff will go. These are General Jacob H. Culver, adjutant general; Colonel George E. Jenkins, quartermaster and commis. sary general; Cologel Carroll J. Bills, in- spector general; Colonel Carroll D. Evans, surgeon general; Colonel John A. Ehr- bardt, judge advocate general. Adjutant General Culver will go to Ra- venna Wednesday night and review the parade to be given by the old settlers, old soldiers and those attending the harvest carnival. On Thursday evening he will de- liver an address to the old comrades. The carntval will continue for three days. Some fast horses have been secured, among them belng some that were at Lincoln dur- ing the state fair. Walting for the Wagon. Lincoln school children are supposed to be enjoying the novel experience of going to school in a carryall. At least that is the arrangements made by the board when | 1t closed the Jordan school in the outlying | districts and tried to pacify a number of angry patrons. The board members first offered to have the children taken to school in street cars, but this did not sult the | parents, so the carryall idea was adopted But #0 far no one has been found riding in it, said & number of residents of the Jordan school neighborhood.

As soon thereafter as prac- ticable the hotel will be thoroughly reno- vated. It will be run as a second-class hotel on the European plan. The Capitol hotel is the ploneer of all the hotels in the city and In years past it was one of the best known in the state.

It changed hands frequently and when the Lincoln boom days were over it was owned by eastern parties, who sold it to Alex Berger.

He made from 82,60 to $3.60 a day as a me- chanic and for forty months all this went, 80 the brief sald, for liquor. ‘Wants Out of Jail. Willlam M. Camplon, who fs in jall at Seward, wants to go out under habeas corpus proceedings, and to that end a briet has been filed in the supreme court.

ACCEPTED SCHEME THE FREMONT CANAL Statement is Made That Agreements Have Been Signed for Use of Practically All the Power to Be Generated. | NEW YORK, Sept. —(Special Tele- gram.)—It was stated on Wall street yes- terday that a syndicate of dapitalists was | being organized here for the purpose of |financing a project for building and develop- {Ing a mammoth electric power plant on the Platte river near Fremont, Neb., for furnishing electric light and power to Lin- coln, Omaha, Council Bluffs and inter- mediate localities. It was also stated that the John F. Kelley Engineering company of this city was the active promoter in the forming of the syndicate in the east and were associated with local capitalists In Nebraska, together with pledged cus- tomers there who had already pledged themselves to take all the electric power possible to obtain from the plant when completed, to be used In large packing, manufacturing and industrial concerns in Omaha, Lincoln and other contiguous cities and towns. It s stated the syndicate will need to ralse upwards of $3,000,000 to complete the work which it will take over two years to get in full operation, Experts are now preparing detalled plans and estimates and reviewing conditions after having made a most exhaustive personal inspection and Investigation of the proposed route. It is also stated that pledges have been secured from citles for public and private lighting, from street railways for power sufficlent to warrant the highest possible develop- ment of the project. Great Interest Is manifested. It is be- lieved here the syndicate will be easily formed and the entire. necessary capital subscribed as soon as the reports of ex- perts are made public and that this city can furnish as much capital as needed. It 1s sald, though no names are given, that a number of the largest capitalists in Wall street have already signified an intention to take hold. It is believed this means possibly the Seligmans. W. J. C. Kenyon of Omaha s said to be general manager, Those in the scheme said that another route to the Platte river for the proposed canal to run near Columbus, Neb., had been surveyed, but was not thought feas- ible at this time. Approximate figures of possible or probable electric development in horsepower units under plans for eco- nomic power and correct transmission are not given out, as the experts have not completed the detalled working plans or estimates upon which such calculation can be based.
