This assertion , coming as It did from a friend , was given some credit In this city , but a few days ngo ilr. Tec-tern announced In un open let ter that ho had not entered Into such an agreement nnd Hint ho had net Bald that certain members of 'the ' faculty would not bo dropped because they were republicans. Those who are Inclined to take n gloomy view of the situation Infer from this state ment ithat the newly-eloctcd regents nro con templating a revolution In the affairs of the university nnd nro preparing for the worst. Others are of the opinion that If nny changes are made for political reasons they will IK ) In the business end of the In stitution. The otllclals at the state house have a list of the employes of the Institu tion , Giving their salaried nnd showing their politics. Within the last few days there has been considerable agitation at 'tho ' university In behalf of K. Benjamin Andrews for the po sition of chancellor of 'the ' university. An- \ < drown , according to reports , is anxious to f /leave / ChlcaKO nnd get back Into the unl- * ' * verslty field again. Kuslonlsts are especially active In his behalf nnd It is probable that a determined effort will be made to secure his appointment. Members of the faculty do not fall In with the Idea , with very much enthusiasm and if they are consulted the position will fall to some other man. Ills ability In recognized , but the Impression has Keno abroad here that he has a tendency to disorganize rather than to organize. How " ever , the opposition from thos5 connected * with the Institution will not bo very ennti > r Tlptnii'n Hook. The State Historical society will soon pub lish as the work of the late ex-Senator T. W. Tlpton a book entitled "forty Years In Nebraska , at Congress and at Horns. " Host of the manuscript for this book has bcn submitted to authorities on the early history of the state and It has been pronounced ac curate In detail by all the reviewers. The work will be as complete. If not more com plete , than any similar book on Nebraska. It will contain biographies of all of the ter ritorial and state governors and members of congress up to 1894 , treating each one with some biographical detail , but particu larly with reference to their place In the po litical nnd social life of tbo state. The book will show the social , political and commer cial conditions of the state nt the time of each governor. It will 'be dedicated to J. Sterling Morton , president of the Historical society. Senator Tlpton also prepared foppublica tion a book of reminiscences , -which he de scribed In the following letter to Secretary Jay Amos Barrett of the State Historical society under date of February 1 , 1899 : "At present I am engaged with a retro spect of my past eighty-one years , and If I can avoid the deep worn ruts of kindred publications I hope to present a record that may redeem even the defects of my 'Forty j Tears In Nebraska , At Congress and At Homo. ' As this Is the first reference I have ; vcr made to It , let It remain In silence until my health and opportunity for work are fully tested. It would be a private enterprise of my own If over completed. I have discov ered that my good friend , the president ! of the society , would comment upon the man uscript , but have never seen any confirma tion of the report. " It is sunnosed that this work was com- pleted nnd that It Is now In the hands of a publisher at Washington. As ho explained In bis letter. It was written with the Inten tion of making It a private enterprise , and will probably bo placed on sale. The other work , however. Is now the property of the Historical society , and while It may nt he as reminiscent In nature , It will contain rooro historical information.

"I Intend to recommend a change to that risks can bo gauged by the locality , founding thp rates of Insurance on past experience as to losses by ball. The trouble with the present law Is that the rates of Insurance am not fixed In pro portion to the losses. Tbo greater part of the destruction by hall Is In the western part of the state , beyond the Sixth prin cipal meridian. This rncrldan Is the west ern line of J'olk county nnd passes through Cedar county. There nro numerous Instances which show the Injustice of hall Insurance according to the present law. The losses of one company In Buffalo county amounted to $22n28.-IO. $ no you can FCC that the people of the cast are paying for the losses In the west. " It Is likely that there will be some Interesting developments' ' at the meeting of the university foot ball team Monday night for the election of a captain for next year. The rules recently adopted by the athletic governing board will prevent the election of several who aspired to the position and It Is possible that an attempt may be made to go ahead with the election regardless of the restrictions of the board.

"Two men at cither end placed this on their shoulders , " said Tuma , who weighs fully 200 pounds , "and I was put astride and the crowd started down the track. I sat on the polo as ordered , with feet crossed underneath , and was carried about a quarter of a mile , tbo crowd booting and Jeering and occasionally hitting mo a blow If I changed my position. They then threw mo off alongside the right of way and while a man sat on each leg a third compelled mo to sign two papers. I wrote where they ordered me , but could not see them nor the paper and don't know what I signed. After a few parting kicks and cuffs they left me , warning mo if I ever set foot in Snyder again 1 would fare worse. " Tuma was considerably bruised and used up , but managed to get back to his home.
