    THE OMAIIA DAILY BEEt SUNDAY , JITNE 0 , 1805.
be president of the Board ot Visitors , ana
Major John M. Carson , one of the best mili
tary critics la civil life , was secretary , the
board urged In strong language an Increase In
the cadet corps and recommended the
methods by which It could bo accomplished.
It supgtMcd that besides one from each con
gressional dlntrlct , to bo selected on the rec-
ommcnlntlon of representatives , tlie president
should bo permitted to appoint ten ca.ch year ,
Instead of being permitted to maintain ten ,
nnd that one bo ( elected by eich
senator of the United States. The
board made many suggestions as to the
examinations of cadets and the methods to be
pursued In their selection , nnd Insisted that
with the largo plai.l maintained by the gov
ernment nt West I'olnt there should be a
much greater output , and that It might be de.
nlrabto If three times the number who now
have the advanUgo of a military education at
"West I'olnt could bo turned out n3 finished
military products from the acalcmy. 01
course It was not expected tha' nil who mlghl
Kraiuato under this Increase of material could
or would obtain commissions In the army ,
1'robib'y ' two-thirds of those iccclvlng the
splendid education there afforded would be
glad to return to civil life , to take up the
more profitable avocations there to be found
The suggestion was made that those entering
civil life could be required to report quar
terly to the adjutant general ot the army , st
that their whereabouts coulJ at any time b (
ascertained , and when an emergency do
mamlel their services they could bo commls
sloned for any Increase of the army tha1
might be needed. The board devoted consld
orablo time to the question whether tin
strength of the corps of cadets as now ejtab
llshed by law should bo Increased. This 1 ;
not a new question. It has been discussci
In congresf , In the public pe.s : , and In the re
ports ot former boards of visitors. Oplntoi
has been divided touching the general prop
osltlon , nnd varies as to the extent to whlcl
an Increase should bo made and the method
for Its accomplishment.
"To maintain 1.000 cadets at West I'oln
may not be Impracticable , but would bi
Impolitic , for several reasons , not the leas
of which Is that of expense. The work per
formed at the military academy Is admit
tcdly of the highest Importance and value ti
the nation. If we are to consider the academy
omy merely as the means of furnlnlilng th
necessary material for supplying the anuua
casualties of the present army In time o
peace , no change In existing laws governlni
the number admitted Is required. Hut th
military academy has been established an <
brought to Its present high standard of ex
ccllcncn and efficiency by years of labo
nnd experience and largo expendlturo o
money. It has capacity for training an
educating at one time nt least 400 student
without material Increase In the annual cos
of Its maintenance , and the board believe
It would bo good policy to obtain for th
nrmy and the country the full fruition of th
Institution by Increasing the strength o
the corps of cadets , so that It may bo a
all times , after providing for casualties
nearly equal to the membership of the hous
of representatives.
DIFFICULTY THAT KXISTS.
"One ot the dllllcultles to which Genera
Schofleld has frequently called attention 1
his reports , not only since ho has been 1
command of the army , but when he wa
superintendent of the military academy , wa
the lack of mental preparation , that , whll
It might permit the youth to enter the acad
emy , did not qualify him , although ho mlgli
be very studious during tlie drat year , t
pass the examination nt the end of the firs
year at the academy. General SchofleM ha
frequently urged that the states shoul
maintain preparatory military schools , an
that the selections for cadetshlps at Wei
I'olnt should be made from these schooli
In talking with him on his last visit I sup
gestcd that I didn't know a better oppoi
tunlty to Inaugurate this experiment or
better place to establish such a school tha
old Fort Omaha , when It should be abar
ilnned by the troops. He said he greatl
hoped this might be done , and that he cci
tnlnly would lend all his Inllucnco to brln
about this result. It would , of course , r <
quire legislation , for In the bill provldln
for the building ot Fort Crook It Is provide
that Fort Omaha , when Fort Crook Is occi
pled , shall be sold under the direction of th
secretary ot war. I have no question , hov
eyer , but that our accomplished represcnU
lives from Nebraska In the senate and horn
will be nblo to proSuro the legti
latton that shall donate old Foi
Omaha to the state of Ncbrask
for a state military school for preparatlo
for Woit I'olnt Military academy and the Ar
nnpollo Naval academy. The state could we
afford to accept the donation and take upo
Itself the maintenance of such a school. Th
youth selected for It should be divided amen
UIQ congressional districts and should be sc
IccteJ from the brightest and best of the pi
plls of the higher grades cf school ? , noin
natrd , perhats , to pass a mental and phys
cal examination by the representatives in cor
gross , and appointed finally by the governoi
The best of these pupils should , after th
preparatory ccurro has been had , b3 selecte
to bo sent to West I'olnt nnd Annapolis.
have no question of the entire success of thl
experiment If It should be Inaugurated. M
Impression Is that The Omaha Uee some year
ago made suggestions similar to tills , and
believe that the Journals of the state woul
with cno accord favor It.
GUOWTH OF MILITARY SI'IUIT.
"The growth of what some are pleased t
call the military spirit , throughout the cour
try during the last ten years. Is rcmarkabli
Citizens throughout the whole country ar
seeing the advantage that Is to be gained t
the youth of the country by military drill an
discipline. It helps both bcdy and mini
teaches habits of cleanliness , sobriety , onh
and subservience to established authority
When I entered upon my duties on the con
mlllco on military affairs I found that con
paratlvely few army otllccrs were permltte
to bo detailed for military Instruction In stat
schools and universities. Tnreo separate time
as a sub-commlttecman I recommended favoi
ably bills to enlarge the number , until no
110 olllcera of the army and navy are pei
mitted to lie detalloj to state Institutions <
learning to teach the military art.
"Tho next commanding general of the arm
Is that most distinguished am ! experience
poldler , General Nelion A. Miles. I feel wa ;
ranted In saying that In this matter ho Is I
lull accord with the views expressed by Gei
oral Schofteld , and I firmly bcllcvo that li
will lend his Influence to the establlshmei
of the Nebraska State Military school at Fo
Omaha.
"Whllo upon this subject 1 wouM like I
urge upon the commissioners of Douglas ar
Sarpy counties the necessity of a new bouli
vartl or driveway from Omaha to Fort Creel
pasting over the high bluffs that overlook tl
Missouri river. The expenditure ot but
small amount of money wouU make a magnl
Icent highway that , adapted for the use i
trolley cars , carriages and bicycles , and line
with tree ? , would bo ono of the most attra
tlve In the country. No citizen will visit tl
new post as 't will look when completed )
will not favor the expenditure of the mone
needed to build this highway. "

LINCOLN , June 8. ( Special Telegram.- )
Ex-Warden Beemer Is back In the penltcn'
tlary. Following the meeting this mornlnp
ot the Board of Public Lands and Buildings
at which the appraisers of Dorgan's property
made the report , the board held another ses
slon this afternoon and appointed AI Bcemei
as superintendent and steward of the pen !
tentlary. This action created profound sur
prise In the vicinity of the capltol building
Mr. Bccmcr was seen this morning by a re
porter for The Bee and nsked If he expectoi
any such action on the part of the board. H <
replied that he was not prepared to say , bu <
he added that the state could save $1,000 t
month by locking the convicts up Instead o
paying 40 cents a day to a contractor foi
their maintenance. Whatever work was go !
out of them would be so much gain for tin
state. He thought that the broom factory am :
tha harness shop would ba paying adjuncts tc
the penitentiary under state control. In hli
opinion the convicts could b : maintained foi
30 cents a day per capita.
Subsequent to the appointment Of Beemei
Governor Holcomb was Interviewed
lie said : "I was very much sur
prised at the action of the baan
in appointing Mr. Becmer steward ot tin
penitentiary. In the light of past decisions
of the supreme court It js cleirly Illegal
The board has the right to manage the prison
but I think that It must do so with the olll
cers appointed by Warden Leldlgh and my
self. The appointment of a supsrlntenden
is something In the naturs of a fifth whec
to a coach. All that h ? can do the wardei
can do. It Is an unnecessary expense .to thi
stato. The appointment of a steward Is , :
think , unconstitutional , and I have an Ide :
that Warden Leldlgh will carry the matte
Into the courts. There will have to ba i
decision en this matter , as such Innovation
on the pirt of the Board of Public Land :
nud Buildings will have to bo explained.
Dorgan , Is It understood , proposes to Im
mediately evacuate the prison , regardless o
Judge Tlbbetts' decision In the Injunctloi
case brought by tha Illinois banks. This , b ;
the way , does not seem to trouble Dorgnn ii
the least. Governor Holcamb says that hi
believes the state Is safe In purchasing th
property of Dorgan and paying whomever th
court shall say hns a right to the money.

Justice Spencer this morning handed ( low
an opinion In theBuckner bigamy case , hold
ing that the hearing given the case In th

such a trial as would debar a trial hero 1 :

He also held that the Omaha court did no
have Jurisdiction of a crime committed 1
Lancaster county. This decision Is basci
upon the ruling of the supreme court ln , th
celebrated Olive case , heard many years age
and which presented n similar law poinl
He therefore overruled the plea in abate

It Is the Intention. It Is stated , to secure
an Investigation somewhat similar to that ol
Receiver Oakes , when Vlllard will b (
given an opportunity to defend himself ,
This , It Is understood , will be favorable tc

by the company as It Is liable to lead tc

Falling In the attempt to secure an Investi

If suit Is brought there Is a probability thai
It may Include all of the counts with which
Master Carey charges Vlllard in his report
The petitions are now under consideration bj

GRAND ISLAND. June S. ( Special. ) The
sugar beet fields arc lu an excellent condi
tion. At this time ot the year they have
never been moro promising. The recent licavj
rain has done them Immense good. In c
few acres south ot this city the seed was
blown out by the early strong wind , but these
acres are very few In number aud only mnke
the exception to prove the rule. The acreage
of beets put In by Individual farmers this
year Is over twice that ot last year. While
the total amount of acres In beets for the
local factory was 2,500 last year. It Is 4,00(1 (
this year. The ofllcers ot the Oxnard Heel
Sugar company feel good over the prospects
ot a long run of the factory this winter.
ARLINGTON. Neb. . June 8. ( Speclnl.- )
Thcro Is planted to sugar beets In this vicin
ity about 300 acres. Those Holds that were
up before the late rains arc n good stand im :
have been worked over. They are In fine con
dition and growing nicely. Tha seed that
was not up before the rains has a hard crust
formed on top , which has to be broken before
the plant ran come through , which Is now
being done , and the plants arc coming ui
well. Some farmers did not have good seeil
for their first planting , and consequently hail
to replant , but the replanted crop Is now ur
and Is growing line. Take the beet crop all
through this vicinity , It promises now to bo
very good. The contractor from Norfolk wns
here a few days ngo nnd expressed himself
as well satisfied with the outlook.
NORFOLK , Neb. , Juno 8. ( Special. ) The
acreage of sugar beets this year Is greatl )
In excess of that of any former year. The
condition of the crop Is somewhat In ad
vance of the season. There has been sufll-
clcnt rainfall , and the beet fields arc In
most excellent cudltton. Most of them
have already been thinned and some cleaned
for the first time. Farmers ara taking hold
of sugar beet culture with a firm conviction
that beets nro altogether the safest ami
most profitable crop for them.
Corn , wheat and oats are a good stand
with an acreage slightly In excess of lasl
year. Winter rye Is also a good stand ,
though seine of It on low land was some
what damaged by late frosts.
Recent copious rains , of course , greatly
benefited all crops.
