Today Croan demanded * bond from tbo Lincoln gentlemen Interested In the enter prise to Insure their full compliance with the agreement. The bond properly mada out was presented to him In two hours , but ho then claimed that the bond came too late , us bo had received a mora favorable offer amounting to $160,000 from Omnhu , this amount to bo given him In buildings the first year and an equal amount the second year. It U not believed that ha has received nuy offer from Omaha , but that ho Is simply playing a game of bluff. The contlomcn who bau subscribed to tbo ttock ot the proposed institution held a moot- leg this afternoon nnd unanimously voted to transfer their subscriptions and support to Prof. Uooso of this city , provided bo would go ahead with the enterprise. Hu has agreed to do so. Further developments from CJroau ore awaited with Interest. Seine rollllrul ( li.n.lii. Tbo mooting of tbo republican state con - tral commlUtio Thursday at Omaha will no doubt bo very Interesting. Tbe > question of selecting congressional committees will be ono of the topics ol discussion. "This meeting of tUo central committee , " aid a prominent wheel horse In tbo party tea a UBK reporter yesterday , "has several fclriugs to It. In the first place It Is very largely directed by Brad Slaughter with a view to getting a firm grip upon the repub- llcan organization ot the state. His plan is to got the Young Men's Republican leagues all over tbo state in work ing order and turn the management of the campaign next year over to the leagues. Now it Is my opinion that tbo schema will not work. The republicans Will have no trouble In getting the young men of Nebraska Into lino. What wo want to do is to win back the older men who bavo drifted into the alliance. Tlio young men who are available as campaign workers are mostly In the cities. We want to gain strength In the country. The young men are needed and we should give them a liberal recognition , but there would bo no sense in turning the wbolo campaign over to the management of tbo leagues. John M. . Thurston is at the bottom of the scheme with Slaughter , but I think tbo sentiment ot the committee will bo in favor of placing iho weight of the ro sDonsibihty upon the shoulders of older and moro experienced men and at the same time cot tbo assistance of the leagues In' the work of enthusing tboso who arc lukewarm and of winning oack tboso who have drifted Into tbo alliance. "Tbo trouble with Brad Slaughter nnd Thur&ton is that tboy don't understand themselves. Thurston is very eloquent nnd Brad very canning , but the eloquence of Tburston is liable to repel republican farm ers and scare away republicans In the alli ance who want to come Into our linos. Urad has many friends but ho has always trained with tbo railroad machine politicians and wo can't attract either young or old republicans If bo makes himself conspicuous. "It is moro than probable that the question of holding two conventions next spring and summer will bo discussed. The convention to select delegates to the republican national convention will in all probability have to beheld hold earlier tbau would be Judicious for the holding of the convention to nominate candi dates for the stnta ofllces. Two conventions are looked upon by many leading ropublicaus as an absolute necessity. There Is un Incli nation on the part of many Ipadtng mou In the party to favor the holding of ttio 11 rat con vention at Lincoln and the second In Omaha. This matter will probably bo earnestly discussed by the party leaders. " Hupromo Court.

Republicans of Nebraska will find an addi tional plnco of interest at which to call lioro- af tor when visiting Omaha. The republican league clubs of the state now bavo a convenient and commodious hoad-iuartora on Thirteenth street , directly west of the Miltard hotel , 'Iho boadqunrtord consists of four good sized rooms all on the second fioor of tha Dloclc apposite tha Millard and opening into each otnur in such u way as to make them very duslrnblo for a political headquarters. The rooms have been neatly furnished and lighted by electricity. About thirty prominent republicans mot at the rooms last night and Indulged In a sort of social dedication of the premises. Cards and cigars demanded a good deal of attention from tbo company and a faw pleasant hours wore spent in tbo now apartments. "Our Intention is to have u convenient headquarters hero for republican workers when tboy conio In from over tbo state , " said Mr. Brad Slaughter last night to a 11 KB reporter. "Wo shall ueep Uioso headquarters open for a year. A Illu of all the leaulng re publican papori of the state will bo kept hero , nnd a stenographer will bo employed to stay right hero all the time from now until tboclosoof tha campaign next fall.

Do- Will's llttlo Early HUow. NOT FOB A City UnRlnocr Koinwutor' * Appointment Other Api > olntCH Go to Work. The World-Herald yesterday in a very weak effort at a review of Mayor Bomls' nj- polutces , intimates that the selection of Andrew Rosewaterifor the office of city en gineer was duo to n "political pull. " This statement is inuollnlto , yet contemptible. Those who know what happened lu the cau cus between the mayor and council say that It was not the Intention of Mayor Bemls to Immediately depose Mr. Tillsnn. but that the councilman made an urgent and unanimous demand for Mr. Rose- water's appointment. Mayor Bemis was asked yesterday whether ho bad seen the World-Herald's ed itorial comment on bis appointments. Ho bad not , and a clipping of the same wus shown him. Glancing it ever , his honor smiled suavely , and laconically Inquired : "Well , what i it ! " 'Why was Andrew Rosewater appointed city engineer ! " "Simply because I thought it a good time for a change , and for many other reasons I have no wish to enumerate. " "Did Mr. Rosewater apply for the posi tion I" "No sir , nevor. I sent for him myself last Friday and but a tallc.wlth him , and bo posi tively declined to turn a hand for the posi tion , so Indifferent WAS' ho , but Instead only had tbo very best of words for Mr. Tillsou. " 'Wore you urgedby thu editor of Tin : BKI : to mauo this appointment ! " "No sir. Ho never as much us suggested such n thing to mo , and know absolutely nothing of my intentions.

Ho was well pleased with what ho saw and expressed an opinion that ho would fllo hU bond next Tuesday in ordnr to ( inter upon the discharge of nls duties next Wednesday morning. Hn did not say what changes would tnko place In the clerical lorco of the office , but it Is understood that bo will discharge one or both of thu inspectors , as bo considers there is nothing for them to do except draw tholrsal- ones during the winter months when , there nro no new buildings bolncr constructed.

The Third warders jumped irion ) him with exceeding harshness and after pushing his face around to tbo buck of bis head took his gun away from him and turned him over to the police. Hamline wanted to toll his story to the court , and Judge Borka listened in a patient and interested manner , and then turned right around and lined him $7.00 for taking up so much of bis time.
