Nebraska BOARD LIEES SEW SCHOOL Wayne Proposition Pleases Members After Inspection. AS TO NEW NORMAL BSCHOOL Alliance Oply City to Cemply With Letter of Law—Others Will Be Given Chance——Railroad Earnings. (From a Staff Corregpondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 3.—(Special.)~Members ¢ of the State Normal Board have returned after their inspection of the Wayne State Normal school, and while no meeting was held and the question of buying it haa not been gone Into, the board was very fa orably impressed with the school bulldings and camput and their condition. The old bullding needs some repair, but the new administration buflding, Dr. Ludden sald, is In firet class condition, as is the heating plant and the cooling plant. No one present of the local committes knew how many students thers were in the school, or how much personal property such as chairs, desks and tables belonged to the school, and, in fact, no one knew just how many rooms thers are in the large bufldings. This information will be compiled by those in charge of the school and it will be submitted to the board at its meeting December 2. Now that the old normal board has been declared constitutional and the new one out of existence interest in the location of the new normal school has increased. As & matter of fact Alllance is the only city In the state that has complied with the letter of the law in the matter of filing a proposition for, the school, but the board likely will stretch the law to the Iltmit in order to give all the towns in the west end ¥ the state a chance to get in on the »dding, as the suit In court naturally con- fused many of the towns. Representative Harrington of Brown county met the board a8 it reéturned from Wayne, and put in & ‘big talk for Alnsworth. He is anxious for the school to be located there. But until the board hears from the attorney general 1t is likely will take no steps to locate the school. The Rock Island rallroad has done s very healthy business In Nebraska during the year ending June, 1900, compared with the previous year. From station reports on fils with the State Railway commission it 18 shown that the earnings of the road for the two years is as follow: State.

Unless & big bunch of corporations get _'busy and send In their occupation tax, ‘together with the penalty for not paying up before, they will be read out of ex- istence after 4 o'clock on the afternoon of November 20. The records of Walker Smith, corporation clerk, show that be- tween 150 and 200 corporations have not ‘con plied Wwith the law. Unless they do | #0 by the date nimed above their fran- chises will be forfeited and they -will net be permitted to do business in Nebraska. It will then be necessary for them to file their articles of incorporation anew and pay:the reguiar filing fee. Some of the biggest corporhitions in the state have not complied with the law. Coples of the statutes will not be sent to members of the late legislature uniess they are ordered. This change in the usual program by the secretary of state is due to the fact that he has not a snfficlent number of coples to supply the state offi- cers, libraries of other states and members of the legislature. Members who do not want the statutes are requested by the secretary not to ask for them. SEWARD'S NEW ciry HALL Dedicatory Exercises He! ing ot Bullding. SEWARD, Neb., Nov. 19.—(Speclal.)—The cltizens of Seward turned out enmasse last pight to attend the dedication ex- ercises of the new $18,000 city hall.

SEWARD, Neb., Nov. 19.—(Special)—As a result of the narrow margin between Charles E. Morefleld, republican, and Wil- Mam Grots. democratic candidate for county treasurer, at the last election, the democratic county central committee was called to meet here yesterday with other democrats to talk of & possible recount of votes. The unofficclal returns gave Mr. Moretield & majority of twenty-one, but the official canvass reduced this to four- teen. To recount the ballots the pro- ceedings must be started in the county court, and the ballots would have to be recounted in the presence of the county judge, who would decide how each ballot should be counted. This would be just as likely to imerease Mr. Morefield's majority as to wipe it out. The demo- ecratlc county ocentral committee decided 10 permit Mr. Grots, the democratic de- feated candidate to decide whether a recount would be asked for. Scrofula disfigures and misery.

Ex-Mayor Brown of Lincoln May Rival Dahlman Friends of Shallenberger Urging Him to Be Candidate for Senator in Bryan’s Place. * (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. - 19.—(Special.)—Some of. these bright, beautiful mornings Mayor Dahlman is going to wake up and find a competitor in his race for the democratic nomination for governor in the person of former Mayor F. W. Brown of Lincoln. At least that's.the way it looks to those who have been watching the antics of the former executive of the capital city. And about the same time Judge Edgar Howard is going to wake up and find hi, pet senatorial canditate, W. H. Thomp- son, has competition in Governor Ashton C. Shallenberger. Mayor Brown will not come out for gov- ernor unless the governor announces for senator, and that is what friends of the former mayor are trying to get Governo: Shallenberger to do. Governor Shallenberger has been told by some of the biggest democrats in Ne braska that he should run for the senat: regardiess of Mr. Bryan's statement-with- a-string-to-it that he will not be a can- didate. Friends of both the governor and Mayor Brown are of the opinion that if the name of Bryan is filed as & candidate at the last minute he Will be forced to decline to run or he will be defeated for the nomination. It has been urged upon Governor Shallen- berger that hs should at once announce his candidacy, for the sepate, prefacing the announcement with the statement that he would prefer to support Mr. Bryan, but that the latter must be taken at his word and left out of the race. Should the gov- enor do this his friends insist Mr. Bryan could not, with very good grace, ever per- mit his friends to run him for the place As an grgument to get the governor into the senatorial race it has been put up to bim that if he is defeated for governor it will forever end him as a senatorial po bllity, so if he desires ot take a shot at it now s the accepted time. That Mayor Brown could easily be per- suaded to get into the race for governdt there is no doubt and that he and the governor have discussed the possibilitics repeatedly there is every evidence to be- | lleve. There is no mor frequnt visitor to the office of the governor than the former mayor. In fact, he calls almost dally and he and the governor spend much time in | corsultation. So if the governor announces | for senator the mayor will announce for governor. LENIENT WITH BOY BURGLARS Tecumseh Youths Placed in Charge of Probation Officers.
