LINCOLN. April 19. (Special.) Dr. K.
Benjamin Andrews of tho Chicago city scho:ls
has accepted tho chancellorship of the State
university. Dr. Androws' commission takes
offect August 1, or about a month prior to tho
closing of school after tho summer vaca
tion. Acting Chancellor Hcssey will re
naln at tho head of the Institution until
succeeded by Chancellor Androws, when ho
will return to his former position us dean
of tho industrial collego and head of the
botanical department.
Dr. Andrews will meet with a hearty re
ception when ho assumes tho duties of his
now position. Tho faculty of tho university
was very favorably Impressed by his appear
ance hero last Saturday and it Is generally
agreed that so far as scholarship Is con
cerned ho pomesscH all tho requirement
necessary for tho chancellor of tho univer
sity. , .
It Is quietly rumored that the Hoard cf
Itegents will remove several university em
ployes at its next meeting to make room
for fiulnnlBts who havo rendered good serv
Ico to their cause in past elections. The
department of Journalism, which has been
leading a precarious existence for tho last
fow years, may bo discontinued after tho
close of tho present semester und other
slight changes in 'minor departments are
apt to be made at tho samo time. The
head of tho Journalism department was very
actively opposed to tho election of Andrews
and although ho has Blnco commended tho
Hoard of Kcgcnts for Its scleMloti and ex
pressed conlldenco In L)r. Andrews, tho pop
ocratlo politicians aro clamoring for his
removal. ,

chancellorship of tho university a little in

havo -watched tho dovclopmentH in connec
tion with that office, showing as It does
that tho popocratlo politicians in this city
wcro determined to prevent nny man who
approved tho principle of tlw republican
party from being olected as chnnccllor of
tho Institution. On the day previous to tho
election of Andrews a report was very In
dustriously circulated among tho popocrats
that IU-gvuts Itlch and Tenters had decided
to go In with Regents Korrcit nnu i.ooiu,
tho two republican members of tho board,
and voto for Prof. Jcnks of Cornell uni
versity, who had beon strongly recommended
'by leading educators all over the country.
T. H. Tibbies, who has been trailing after
the stato houso machine for several years
past, originated tho report and aided very
materially in circulating It. Ho also took
tho precaution to notify every Inlluentlal
democrat and populist In tho city that,
Itlch nnd Tectcis wcro about to turn traitors
to tho cause and voto for a republican, it

LINCOLN, April 19. (Special.) Sccrotary
of Stato Porter is still ambltlbus to rep
resent tho Third district in congress, not
wlthMtandlng tho fact that ho wau subJecteU
to a severe rebuko at tho recent populist
Htnto convention In this city. Tho populists
constitute a majority of tho fusion force.!
In tho Third congressional district and n
strong effort will bo mado at thoir con
grrfalonal convention to name n man to
succeed Iloblnson, a democrat, now serving
his first term. Secretary Porter announced
his candidacy for tho nomination several
months ago and has ulnce devoted u largo
portion of his time to building up n reputa
tion as a reformer and an nutngontst ot tho
rnllroadti nnd nil corporate cntorprUes. Ho
hoped to be mado chairman of the populist
nominating convention, but after he had
been at work with the delegates for sev
eral hours It was discovered that his namo
was not among tho list of delegates from his
county. Thlfl, of course, prevented him from
making nny further attempts to presldo over
tho convention and ho accepted as a con
solation tho prlvllego of making n speech
along with numerous other candidates for
Btate, congressional and appointive offices.
A prominent populist residing lu that dis
trict who was In the city today said that
thcro Is no reason why the populists should
pot have tho nomination. Tho principal ob
jection urged tigaliiBt Porter is that ho has
held ollko ever since tho fusion party camo
Into power nnd still wants to hang on.
Congressman Koblr.son has been indorsed
by his own county and will probably meet
with no opposition among tho democrats.
That tho populists will attempt to defeat
his nomination is practically assured, but
unices they eoon unite on ono man thero Is
but llttlo hope for their success.
Tho republicans of tho Third district aro
confident of a big gain over last year's voto
and they consider republican success In that
section of the stntc as very probable. Among
tho candidates for tho republican nomina
tion aro Julius F. Jcnnl of Cedar county,
J. J McCarthy of Ponca, Fremont Kver

Hits tho spot. A
trial will convince

its ixipcrlor
merit.
This is a novel on a perfectly now American
theme by a new American writer and is a very
extraordinary story. No mere lovo of gain could
tempt men into an undertaking of such deadly
peril as is here recounted. Tho first link was
forged by a personal and romantic sentiment re
sulting from the('disoovory of a girl held at a slave
who Wiis in reality white. This romance pervades
tho story. But a love of adventure for its own
sake also played a largo part in the oxporioncea
recounted.
Two young men living in a Louisiana parish
undertake to deliver negro slaves into tho handa
of tho Abolition Society in tho North. No dan
ger could be greater, no adventure moro thrilling
than thoso related here. And yot Btich was the
adroitness and caution observed that the under
taking succeeded, and successive large parties of
human chattels wore piloted into the promised
land. Glimpses of life on tho plantation, the dismal
swamps traversed in escaping, tho superstitions
of tho fugitives, the country store operated as a
"blind," the part played by Horace Greeloy and
his associates in tho north, and tho happy issue
out of so many perils, aro elements which com
bine to make a story which holds the attention
and imparts an absolute Foneo of conviction.
Tho tale is historic in the fidelity and vivid
ness with which it revives to us a unique epoch in
our national life. The style of tho narrativo is
admirable for its purpose artless, direct, gra
phic, tho Btylo of a man who tolls a straight,
strong Btory because that is tho way he thinks
and talks.
