UnK.J The regular program arranged for the Stale Teachers association wa taken up this morning , with over COO tuacbcru in attend- unco. The opening exorcise * consisted of a selection entitled "Komombcr Now Thy Cre ator" by the Artclpblan quartette , nn Invoca tion by.Ilov. Lewis Gtegory nnd another song , "I Cannot Always Trace the Way , " by 'the Adolphmns. I The first paper on the program was then listened to. It was "Tho Moaning , Limita tions and Purposes of education , " and was propnied by Prof. H. H. Duugan of the Cot- nor university of this city. Prof. Dungan's central irica was tbo necessity and advan tage of a thorough education. He protested atrontrly against the neglect of moral and plrltual development , and also against what ho termed the excessive utility of the age. "In our efforts to drive out nil that has not a practical value wo have gene to the other extreme , " ho declared. Ho believed that n student should know his power before he undertook to outline his plans for a general education , and omphnslzod the fact that the most complete education was tbo ono which enabled Its possessor to accomplish the most for himself. To know one's power is to do- tcrmlno the limit. The essentials to betaken taken Into account In the pursuit of an udu- catlon were financial means , health and mental power. The purpose of such an edu cation as outlined by tbo speaker was to fulfill the grand purpotoof our being the purcoso for which wo woio created. Prof. Dungan's paper was discussed by Prof. Corbott. superintendent of tbo York public schools , and by Prof. True of the Tecumseh schools. The Ideas of the speaker received a warm endorsement and many new ones were developed in tbo discussion. Tbo next paper. "Philosophy of the Methods of Education , " was prepared and road bv Prof. Wolfe of the Nobrask State univoralty. "Education , " said bo. "is based on well established and universally recog nized principles. Common sense , In tbo ordinary sense of tbo word , cannot bo taken ns the only guldo In the nnthod of acquiring nn education. Nor is the mere application of n formula to bo rolled upon. Tbo student's Jlrst efforts should bo Introspective. Ho should first study his own mind , In the effort to discover , if possible , bis own peculiar adaptation. Having discovered this , sclf- Improvomcnt along the lines which will naturally suggest themselves bv such in spection will follow nsu necessary sequence. " * Speaking of the education of the child , Prof. Wolfe believed that the value of child 1 etudy could not bo overestimated or consid ered too lightly. Tno ideal teacher for the child must bo a child-lover. Otherwise ho cannot hope to succeed. 'Iho discussion of Prof. Wolfo's very able paper was deferred In order to take up some routine business that was pressing for atten tion , The matter of electing ofllcors was discussed pro auu con for some time and also deferred until the evening. The evening .session was called to order at 8:15 o'clock by President Andrews. After the opening exorcises , Prof. J. B. Monlux of Hastings delivered n prepared paper on "Organized Agencies , " In which ho argued Btrongly for n state law requiring a certain and unified standard to bo put In force In every 30100 ! in Nebraska. Ho believed that the standard of requirements adhered to by colleges should be lowered to a piano whore it would ho possible to spend moro time In high schools on practtc.il studies nnd loss on classics. Ho also balloved In moro thorough ness In what work was done. A twonty-mlnuto discussion then ensued which followed out tuo same lino. The edu cational council presented Its report at length which was adopted after some discussion. Tbo mcntlug adjourned until the morning session. IV.'hrnska'H Corn for 11 unary Ilussla. Nebraska offlcmls who are sunorlutoudlng the work of gathering a train load of corn for Russia .nro still in the dark in regard to the arrangements for shipping the samo. Governor Thayer received a letter early this week from Governor Men-lam of Minnesota suggesting that Nebraska's contribution bo tor warded to Russia In the same vessel that is to carry Minnesota's donation of Hour. In reply Governor Thayer stated that he would be willing to adopt tbo suggestion provided the United States government does not nr- ranco to send n naval vessel with all the contributions from America. Ho desired to lienr from Washington before ho made a 11 mil decision in the matter. Today Governor Thayer addressed the following letter to Seciotary Tracy of the navv ! Dear Sir : I road your letter yestordiiy to Senator \Viinhhnrn of Minnesota , tondorinz thn iitio of the United States ship Constel lation for the purpose of citrrylnx provisions to KiiBilu for the lelluf other suITorlnc peoplo. \ \ 'imo \ rulsliiK In this state un amount of food products , corn , coinmeal and Hour , to tlio ex tent of about sixty cur loads , ns near as wean an calculate.

Died Under tlio Whoolt ) , The deadly switch frog today added an other to Its long list of victims. John Hwart7va Husslan worklngman 5T years of of ago , was the unfortunate. This forenoon lie attempted to cross tbo B. & M. yards nbont 100 foot west of the passenger depot. "Whilo on the third truck ho stopped to speak to a fellow employe , when an approaching switch engine warned him to move aslno. Ho turned rather quickly , nnd In turning his foot caucht between tbo rail and the Kimrd and ho fell to the ground directly In front of tbo coming engine. Tbo engineer did not see him , but hiard his cries and nt once stopnod the engine , but not until ono wheel hud passed over his right leg and crushed his tody. The mau lived but II f teen inluutos after boicg taken from under the Wheels. Swnrtz had been In the employ of the B. & M. until last Saturday , when ho was dis charged. Ho lived at Seventh and W streets nnd leaves a wlfo nnd tlvo children , all of whom were dependent upon him for support. Supported Her Kldo. Police court was the scene of a vor.v pretty wordy encounter this niornlnt , the partici pants being Mrs. Katla Mack , u boarding house keeper , aud Colonel Phllpott , the ut tornoy. The conflict came over the trial of Hobort Bouldlng nnd George Grltlln , the former -slapping Mrs. Mack and the latter for using Indecent language. Both of the men were drunk and when the landlady ordered them out , ono of thorn slapped her in the face and tbo other made her proposals which wouldn't look well In print. During the progress of the trial Mrs. Mack became Involved In a controversy with Phllpott , who was defending the tuo men , ana when1 the BinoUo of Uattlo clourod away It appeared that she bad worsted tbo colonel.

Commissioner of Public Land * Humphrey today received several school land looses ) vhlch had boon relinquished by the lessees , ftccomuunled by applications from other par ties who desired to lease thosatiio lands. Mr. Humphrey promptly rejected the applica tions , and in explaining the natter to Tim BUB correspondent stated that it has been a common practice for sonm men to ullow their Interest on school lands to lapo for several yours nnd then , by connivance with frlonds , relinquish their lease. The friend immedi ately makes application for the sumo land , and when ho squuros It assigns It bacit to the original router , who thus avoids paying hi * delinquent interest. Commissioner Hum phrey proposes to put a stop to this practice and hereafter whoa any delinquent throws up his loasa the land will bo declared for feited and advertised for lease , thus throw * ing the land open to competition.

Wilcox was re-called to tbo witness stand yesterday la the case of the Hopublican ngalm > t thp Associated Press In the United Stains court , nnd ho was ashed to identify the last issue of the Hopublican pub lished on January 8. Mr. Bruckonridgo asked Major Wilcox If there was a Held for the publication ut tno HoDubllcun at the tlmo the final deinlso of the paper was solemnized by the editorial announcement of its last appear ance. JudgoDundv thought there was noth ing material in such a question. Any man ought to know that the field was still in existence , The colUpso of the Kepubllcnn didn't wlpo oat the field to any material ox- ten L Upon cross-examination the major said that the last Issue of the paper might have boon u little larger tnan somu of the previous Issues of December , 1390. Ho claimed , however - over , that it was a legitimate morning dally , although its telegraph colums ware filled with plate matter. The plaintiff then rested its case and wit nesses were called for tno defense. J. M. Gillian , a reporter formerly omplovod upon the Hopubllcan , was called. Ho stated that the cause of the Republican's suspension In July , IS'.K ) , was the inability of the management to pay the men employed. He said Wilcox prom ised several times Immediately prior to the suspension that bo would cot the money and pay the men , but ho finally gave up and said lie could not pay them. The witness said ho told Major Wilcox that the men were popar- ing to lllo attachment suits upon the paper and plant in case they did not got their money. Major Wilcox replied that the men might tnito tuo institution an4 go to h U wild it if they wished to. Mr. Harmon , who had charge of the cir culation was called. Ho stated that tbo Ho publican had about 9,000 subscribers at the time of suspension in July 1SUO. Mr. Edward Uosowator was called to the witness stand In the afternoon for the pur pose of showing the approximate value of the Associated Press franchise to n newspaper. Mr. Hosowutor said that would depend to a grunt degree upon the character and condi tion of tbo newspaper. HB dm not consider a press franchise worth much to a newspaper like the defunct Hopublican , that had boon it money sinking concern for years , and to a paper that had suspended , ho said , the fran chise would bo worthless. Mr. Hosowator also explained the contract and agreement made in 1883 between himself anil the proprietors of the Hopublican and Herald by which THE Br.u secured the ex clusive right to publish tho. dlspiUchcs fur nlshod by the Associated Press for publica tion in the afternoon in Omaha. Ho said that this cost him $9,000. but it shut out all other afternoon papers from publishing tele graphic news furnished by the Associated Press and had been of great advantage to Tun BKIC. Mr. Frank Mornssoy was also placed upon the stand. Pie thought that a telegraphic franchise could bo ol very little value to n paper that had , like the Hopublican , boon suspended for four or five months. The case will probably bo closed today. Judge Dundv granted nn order last evenIng - Ing authorizing Arthur C. Boll of Uo.l Cloud ns receiver of the First National bank , to proceed with the sale of the personal - sonal property and real estate of the Insol vent institution. They bad lotsof wedding presents , but tha most' precious was a box of Hallor's Aus tralian salvo. She said thoughtfully , it's ' so nioo for the little chaps ou my hands. Ho said , wo hayon.t got any "littlo chaps" yot. She said , Why 1 John , and John was squelched. TOU'HJ3 IJUTfcUt KXD. \ morlenu Mortgage Company's Internal Flcht Grows Serious , The case of L. W. Tulloys. J. V. McDowell nnd E. II. SVnltora against the Anglo-Ameri can Mortgage nnd Trust company will bo hotly contested in tha courU of Council Bluffs. About $1,000,000 is Involved In the case. About two weeks ago Tulloys and his follow ers obtained a temporary Injunction restrain ing the Anglo-American people who are the eastern stockholders of tha concern from holding n meeting in Omaha for the purpoo of electing now o Ulcers. The boating on the motion to vacate tha restraining order was sot In Judge Smith's court for tomorrow , but it lias again boon postponed until Saturday. Tbo continuance was granted on account of John R. Stone , attorney general of Iowa , and also counsel for the plaintiffs , being ill at his homo in Gtonwood. Attorney Clan : of Now York , who repre sents the eastern stockholders , was obliged to return to the oast. The eastern people nro represented in Omaha by Lawyer J. 1' . Brcon , who will argue the motion Saturday for the dissolution of the Injunction. If va cated Mr. Broen says the eastern people will at once hold n meeting and remove Air. Tul loys from the presidency of the corporation and also get rid of Messrs.Valtors and Mc Dowell. The specific grounds for the removal of the present officers are on account of their re fusal to permit the stockholders to examine the books and accounts of tbo Ouiaba office , and also for their refusal to obey the wishes and instructions of the eastern directors who are in the minority. The eastern people also sought to cut down salaries paid to the plaintiffs aud In the expense of main taining the office. They claim that they want a volco In the matter of directing the funds of the corporation and to > ay bow they shall bo appropriated and used. "Tho present ofljcors , " sold Mr. Broen yesterday afternoon , "havo not managed the affairs of the corporation with economy and prudence. On account of this there will bo a big fight and it will bo to the bitter and. " DeWltl's Little iSarly Risers for the llvor. Hoard oI'l'Muuiitlon Montlin ; .

HE HAS FAITH IN HIS PARTY , Asjhtant Secretary of the Tronury Grounia Foreshadows Political Events , REPUBLICAN MEASURES AND SUCCESS , Ucpiibllann nntl JDcinoorntio Policies Contrastoil ItcclprooUy null n Sound Currency Are Buro to Win. Mr. Crounso , who is recently huro from Washington , spending a few days In the city , was mot byn BEK'reporter yesterday. In response to a request for his views as to the political situation and party prospects In tbo coming campaign , ho said : "I have no ambition to appear In news paper Interviews. I have not the vanity to believe that I am the possessor of any opin ions of much valuo. or whlcn 1 doslro to oh- trudu upon the public. However , I have no objection to expressing my faith in the suc cess of the republican party In 1893. It de serves success. If it did not I should not care so much for It. 1 am moro solicitous that it should bo right than that It should achieve a temporary victory. On the great questions of protection to American Indus tries , reciprocity in foreign exchange , and In an honest currency , I atn satlsllcd It is right and that the returning good sense of our people ple will so declare. " "What , thlnit you. will bo the political Issues on which the coming contest will bo fought outl'1 ' 'American progress and prosperity against obstruction and rotrogradatlon ; honesty against dishonesty ; true statesmanship against domagoglsm nnd hypocricy whether Crisp , Mills and Carlisle , with their positively bad ideas , and the Poffors , Jerry Simpsoas nnd Kotns. with Imprac tical ideas , snail dominate ; whether Kou- tuckv , Alabama. Texas nnd Tammany hall shall direct the affairs of n great people or whether the intelligence , the enterprise , the loyalty and patriotism of Now England , Ohio , the great west , as represented by Harrison , litalno aim McKlnloy , shall continuo - tinuo to advance the nation which they hnvo preserved nnd placed In the front rank among the nations of the world. Will Give nn Kxlilbitiou of Discord. "Tho now democratic Louse of representa tives will do nothing beyond inakfug n few niggardly appropriations before election , to bo supplemented by big dollclonoy bills after It , thus hoping to gull the people into a belief in democratic economy. Bovond this they will give the public on exhibition of discord , hypocricy and cowardice. Last fall's victory puts an elephant on their bauds and their success will prove , In my opinion , their perdition. " "Do you think they will pass n bill repeal ing the McKinley act or attempt other tariff legislation } " "No. It did not roqulro any courage or ability to lie and make falsa predictions about the McKiuloy bill , but it requires both of these in a greater degree than modern de mocracy has displayed to attempt either. Especially is this so In the faoo of thu un precedented increase In our foreign trade , of uulaxod sugar and the continued lessoning in price of the articles consumed by the American people. "I served with Mr. Mills in congress. I know htm as a democrat who believes what he professes , and who has the boldness of bis'convictions. As nn ox-rebel be believes in the lost cause , and glories in his past record. On the tariff question bo is n freetrader , out and out , and not ono of those tariff reformers who do not know what they wont , except that they QO not want any tariff framed by the re publicans , no matter how perfect. Convic tions and honesty are not wanted in a speaker when the house has a fnrco to play. So In Crisp they found an equally good ox-rebel , but an actor us well. It was oven thought necessary to degrade Mills'and put a jumpIng - Ing jack nt the head of the ways nnd means committee. With all this precaution the play is not likely to provo a success. It is gener ally snfo to count on the democracy doing something foolish nnd damaging when nn op portunity arises. Hero Is their opportunity. Silver ljouiMl.ilIon. " \Vhoufroosllvercoinagopromisod to bo popular there was a general disposition of the democracy to run before the breo/o and go to almost any length In the direction of a debased - based currency. But in the light of Clove- land's anti-silver letter and tbo lessons taught In Massachusetts , Now York and Ohio in the recent election , a halt is called. Already , you will notice , it is proposed to postpone any action on tbo subject until after the election of 1803. This will' enable tbo party , as it thinks , like the accommodating school teacher , who proposed to teach the world as round or flat , according to the taste of the district , to ad vocate free coinage or no frco coinage , us the individual , state or locality may dosiro. "For myself , I do not believe that a further increase of currency would bo of advantage. With J24 per capita this country has plenty of it. Every ono who has anything to give in oxchancu will have nil he is entitled to. This cry for moro money Is the most arrant hutnbuggory , tbo song of tbo demagogues to itnposo on the unfortunate. It was used with moro or less success during the last few years of depression , but with the return of good times the farmer and all who are de pendent on him will have no trouble in find ing currency , and when ho has it ho will find it worth something , "Charges of extravagance may bo made against tbo late republican congress for ef fect. Outsiuo of appropriations for pensions , for maintenance of tbo army , the nuvy and Hire current expenses , thorn were but few if any that could bo called extrava gant. In the matter of appro priating for public buildings It may bo said that the number provided for was unusually largo. But , whatever of extravagance there may bo In that tbo democracy fully shared. Democratic Virginia was provided with three a number , I bollovo , creator than foil to any other state. As Secretary Foster well remarked , this has grown to bo a billion-dollars country and It requires a great deal of money to run it. "At this time there seems to bo but little doubt that either Harrison or Blame will bo tbo republican nondnoo and about equally certain that neither Cleveland nor Hill will bo tbo nominee of the democracy. Hill can not In docmicy or In the light of policy be taken and ho will uot penult hlj rival to suc ceed. My guess would bo Flower. " They wanted to got married , but had on money to pay tbo preacher. The girl was equal to the occasion. Sbo took the preacher aside and stated tbo caso. She had no manor , but she did have u bottle of Hallor's Sure Cure Cough Syrup. Would ho marry them for that ! The preacher would and two hearts boat as ono. DISSOLVED TltH INJUNCTION. Judge Dnnnu llooldvfl the Kotohum Piiriilturn Contract Aliiy liu Made. Judge Doanohanded down lib decision yes terday In tbo Kotcham furniture contract Injunction case , dissolving tbo Injunction and paving the way for the signing of the con tract by the mayor. Tbo Judge bold that tbo city couucll was authorized to rnaUo such a contract , and that It was not the province of tbo court to atop them. Thorn was no evidence to ahow that fraud had boon practiced In awarding tbo contract , and there was therefore no reason why the couucll ahould not bo permitted to go ahead and carry out its work. In subsequently speaking of the case , the judge stated tnat another thing that entered into consideration was that the case would vary likely be taken to the supreme premo courj , If a permanent injunction were granted , and a decision would not bo reached for at toast a year , In thu meantime the city hall could not bo finished and work would bo at u standstill , The contract could bauwardad to ai other coinpanylf the council taw lit pending a decision by the supreme court , but such a course would bo vflry fooIUh , a * In the event of u decision In favor of the Ketctmni people they could sue and collect damages for having the contract thus taken away from them. Tlio Uhr.iry liijiiiiuilon , The public library restraining order was dissolved and a pornianout lujuactlon re- j \ fused by Judge Iiylno. The opinion stated that the plaintiff Vutil't an Injunction on the ground that there ? Trot-how In the llbritrjr fund ftiiftlolont nvneyr , , v pay for thn con- tomplnted purchase , .amounting to 113,030. The defendant ! show , however , that accordIng - Ing to the terms of the proposed contract only (0,000 would bo required to bo paid as cash , and the balm.cq | t\ \ sums of $4000 ; In ono , two and thrco years' . If It was proposed tr > expend the ontlro sum at once , It would corjUlnly comn within the Inhibition of the cnarlor , but this Is not the caso. If the plfohtlft's position was sustained It would result. In preventing the city from assuming auy. future obligation- * unless the monor to moot them wai In the treasury nt the tlmo tnoy were Incurred. 'I ho bonds for th6 erection of a public library were voted to "erect n building on the lot devised by Byron Itocil , " but the question of diverting the money thus obtained to erectIng - Ing n building on other property , was not before the court. If It should be attempted to thus diver the money , such a course could properly bo siopoo.1 by an injunction at a future time. Now Ti'lnl Tor McCnrty. Judge Eslcllo bin decided to give Mike Me- Carty , who shot off his son-in-luw's arm , n now trial on the ground that the complaint was drawn under the wrong statute. It charged assault wilh intent to commit mur der , whereas It should luivo boon , shooting with Intent to kill. This will hnvo the effect of delaying Mr. McCarty's trip to Lincoln , Sccuroil n Dlvorcn. Martha Sweeney told Judge Ferguson how John Swoonoy , whom sno marnod In Cleve land years 1150 , had cruelly treated bor nnd dually deserted her.
