Nebr ka ll DEMOS BOOSTING MEETING Letters Favoring Insurgent Meeting Come from Bryan Men, ENDORSEMENT MAY BE NoO Possibility Now that for Place Will Be Endorsed When Session Takes Place. No Candidate | « I (From a Btaff Correspondent.) | LINCOLN, Jan. 15.—(Speeial)—The self- styled progressive insurgents of Lincoln ere llable to lose the meeting after all and have it go down In history under the title of demo-pop convention. The demoerats of Lincoln boosting the meeting just as frantically In order to drum up a a as are Frank Harrisson and Paul Clark T. J. Doyle and others are -advertising | the Insurgent movement for all that's out, | and it will be no fault of the democratic Jeaders i that meeting is not about equally divided between Bryan sympathizers and would-be republican officeholders In the evening papers here yesterday Mr. Flansburg, who falled to land the Job of federal judge, the place having been glven to Judge Munger, gave out for pub- llcation some letters which he had re- celved, showing how the state had gone clear wild over the efforts of his crowd to save the country, One of these letters was from Dr. Hal- Jett of McCool Junction. The doctor was very much interested and wrote a letter of encouragement to the bunch, Insisting that the meeting would be the very thing to -save ‘the government. The letter, of course, was given out to tne public under the gulse of having been written by a re- publican. Dr, Hallett for Bryan. Those who know Dr. Hallett are not sur- prised that he endorsed the meeting. Dr. Hallett has been for Bryan for president at his oldest friends do not re- call when he was for anyone else. In fact, the written documents show that awhile back he predicted that a certain republican would yet be “boosting for Bryan.” Another letter from Mr. Barton of Uni- versity Pla whooping up the meeting nd urging all the people to inkurge, was also given publicity. Mr. Barton is an old- time populist. He formerly lived at Cur- tis, and from out there comes the Informa- tion that Mr. Barton can be counted on to insurge any old time the movement is sgainst the republican party. There are persons here who belleve that some republicans have really written to the committee in charge of the meeung, but o far they have not been given pub- Uelty. The manager of the affair has now sald it is possible that the meeting will not endorse any candidate for the senate on republican tickét, but will take it out :llun s0 long t insurging. Whether this was ught about by a split as to whether to endorse & democrat or a republican cannot be learned at this time, though the management includes as many persons who voted for Bryan for president as it does those who voted against him. ' War Ahead of Book Men. Many of those attending the meeting| of county superintendents and school mrinelpals went home with their feellngs pretty wéll ruffied over the way the as- soglation s being managed and promise @of & rebellion in camp was freely made. Principal’ Cline, [in his ‘toast at the an- al banquet, deprecated the acts of the teacher who, holds his job by a resort to politics or political - tactics. Another complaint over the banquet was fhe fact that it was managed entirely by representatives of a book company .and the teachers had little to do with it. The banquet developed that the book men were of more- Importance around the meeting than the educators. The upshat of the dissatisfaction will be @ big fight, 80 some of the teachers said, at the meeting of the State Teachers' as- soclation. The fight will be against the book fien and the, ring which now con- trols that association. The superintendents and principals elected the following officers: Fred M. Hunter of Nortolk, president; E. K. Hurst of Falls City, vice president; W. H. Clemmons of Fremont, secretary, and A. H. Staley of Buperior, treasurer. Requisition for Bafley, Governor Shallenberger has lssued a requisition for the return to Cherry county of Willam Balley, under arrest in New Mexico. Bailey is wanted on a charge of horse stealing. TWO MEDICAL STUDENTS EXPELLED FOR CHEATING Joniversity of Nebraxka Authorities Take Stringent Action Agminst Men for “Cribbing.” LINCOLN, Jan. feal students, 15.~(Speclal ) —Two med- a girl and a boy, were ex- pelled from the University of Nebraska yesterday for “cribbing” in examinations in a class under Dr. C.

Only these two students were caught in the act of cheating, but the professors in the col lege are on guard for other ‘“cribbers and it is likely that more suspensions will be made before the elose of the semester. The young man who was dlsmissed from | through herolc Nebraska Court House at Broken Bow is Mass of Ruins Jailer Crawls Through Dense Smoke | to Release County Prisoners— Origin a Mystery, BROKEN BOW, Neb, Jan. 15.—(S8peclal Telegram.)—Between 12 and 1 o'clock this| morning the court house at Broken Bow, one of the county's fine bulldings, was to- tally destroyed by fire. How the fire originate is a mystery. Jaller Cooper, who slept In the tasement, was awakened by a dense smoke that was pouring from | second floor. Almost suffoeated he r’m\\lrd on his hands and knees to the jail | door and released two prisoners who were | being held for trial At one time the wind rose and it was only efforts of the firemen and cltizens that the south side business por- tion of town was saved. All the principal records of the county were saved. The buflding, which Is covered by $15,000 insur- was built by the people of Broken in 1889, Twice the Masonic Temple caught fire, but was extinguished each time. | A movement will immediately be made to replace the old court house.

YOUNG MAN BURNED IN HOME H ry Hins's Charred Body Found in Rulns of Place Near Kearney. KBEARNEY, Neb., Jan. 15.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Henry Hinz, a young man 23 years old, was burned to death at his home sev- enteen miles northeast of Kearney, Satur- day morning. Hinz lived alone in a small house, about half a mile from his nearest neighbor, Fire broke out about 7 o'clock and was first noticed by a neighbor, Sam Buchman, who saddled a horse and hur- ried to the spot. In the ruins of the build- ing were found the charred remains of the young man. He had met death in his bed- room and seemed to have been unconsclous, laying in a sleeping position. Mystery sur- rounds the cause of the conflagration. His brother said it was hardly possible for the stove in the room to be hot enough to start the blaze at that time of morning. The dead man leaves two brothers and his mother. HURRY BRIDGE TO BEAT ICE Unfon Paeific Trying to Complete Structure Before Floods Begin. COLUMBUS, Neb., Jan. 15.—(Spectal)— By working night and day on the concrete foundations for the new double track bridge west of this city the Unlon Pacific hopes to have the structure completed before the ice in the Loup river breaks up this spring. About 150 men_have been employed at the bridge all winter, even in the coldest weather. and there have been many minor accldents resulting from slipping on ice coated wood and steel. This is the largest and longest bridge on the Union Pacific main line in Nebraska and the structure is being buflt in a very substantial manner. At present there remains about a week's work on the foundations and then it will require about ten days to lay the stone pler. All winter there has been a steel gang at work taking the steel parts of the bridge from the yards and putting them in place. As each sixty-foot single track span is replaced by the new double track struc- ture traffic is delayed a little over an hour, the new spans being slid Into place on greased tracks. At present the company has a telegraph operator at each end of the bridge and when it Is completed this expense will be done away with. Another reason for rush work is that the ice In the river is exceptionally heavy this year and the large amount of snow makes a hig flood quite probable and they want, all the false work taken out so there will be nothing to stop the fce. Hay Fired by Incendiary. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Jan. 15.—(Special.) —Some time during last night a large quan- tity of hay on the ranch of Nelse Lee, fif- teen miles southeast of here, was destroyed by fire. Just what damage was done Is yet to be ascertained, as the condition of the roads makes slow traveling and news ls meager, but owing to the present scarcity of feed the loss must be considerable. The fire Is supposed to have been caused by an incendiary, and acting on that theory Sher- 1ff Kennedy started for the scene this aft- ernoon, taking with him a couple of blood- hounds. The hounds are sald to be well trained and, If given a proper show, will do the work. The farm has been rented for some time, and it is alleged that there was bad blood between the tenant and some outsider with whom he had business deal- ings. 8. R. Lee, a son, accompanied the sheriff and will assist in trying to capture the university this week Is the son of a prominent ex-officlal of this eity. LU ) V& Add ‘ing drink.
