LINCOLN, Dec. 12. (Special.) The first
shipment of boohs under tho Nebraska
traveling library system will be sent to
Llalr. It will be ono of tho twenty-five- I
or mom Independent traveling libraries J
that will soon bo started on their way
around tho reading circle, which extends
over practically tho cntlro state and In
cludes about thirty towns or villages'.
Hooks aro now being purchased by thu
commission and It Is likely that the system
will bo In good working order within tho
next few wtcks. As Illalr was the first
town to apply for the reading service It
will bo the first accommodated.
"Wo want tho people of tbo state to un
derstand the work and tho object of the
( Library commission," said Miss I'dna Mul
lock, secretary, today. "Tho Intention of
tho framers of tho law which created tho
commission was to encourage the founding
of libraries and to Improve the adminis
tration of those already established and to
aid In every way possible the educational
development of tho state by helping tho
people to tho denlro for more and better
books. The law whs passed at tho solicits- j
tlon of the Nebraska federation of Women's
Clubs, the Nebraska Library association,
the Nebraska Teachers' association and
friends of library extension, nnd education'
throughout tho state.
CmiiiII t Iiiiim of (lie I.oiiim.
"The commission In required to collect j
lausucs oi uie iiurarius oi tne state nnci
to report to tho governor all facts that It
deems of public Interest. The law also
provides that tho commission shall, when
nsked, give advlco nnd Instruction to all
libraries or Individuals and to nil com
mitters which may proposn to establish
libraries as to tho best means for estab
lishing, organizing and administering such
libraries, nnd In selecting and cataloguing
books and other duties of library manage
ment. Tho commission Is authorized to
loan any books, collections or other prop
erty It may possess to any library, college,
school, university oxtonslon center, chnu
tauuun clrclo, literary vsoclety, study cluh
or other association approved under tho
rules. Tho transportation charges, both
ways, as well as all expenses connected
with the. local distribution of tho books,
must bo paid by the borrowers. Thcso ex
penses must bo nrranged for by tho appli
cants to whom tho library Is loaned. No
fee can bo charged for tho uo of tho
books, but voluntary contributions may bo
Bollcltcd from borrowers and tho raonoy
l.o cillccted may be used toward defraying
tho local expenses Incurred.
"Application for traveling libraries or1
for tho special loan of books on n particu
lar subject should bo addressed to tho
secretary. Tho commission desires to make
tbo rules governing tho loan and uso of
tho traveling libraries so simple that, thoy
will offer no obstacles whatovor to tho
froo uso of tho books. Any study club do
siring a few books on n subject may se
cure such books If the commission Is ablo
to supply them. Tho residents of a com
munity aro entitled to tho freo uso of any
traveling library loaned to tho community
by tho commission. Hooks sent as special
loans may bo used solely by tho associa
tion or tho, lndU'lduaf to whom the loan Is
made.
How CnmmnnKlPM Mny Co-opcrnto.
"To carry tho law Into effect, tho legis
lates appropriated $4,000. This sum Is so
small In comparison with tho work con
templated by tho law that only n few trav
eling libraries can bo purchased during tho
first biennial period, unless tho citizens of
Nebraska como to tho afd of tho commls- j
slon aH the citizens of Wisconsin and other
states have done, and glvo tho commission
travollng llbrnrleB to bo used for tho benefit
of tho peoplo of the state. The commission
Is ready to make any community that will
add a traveling library to tho system about
lo be put In operation a permanent travel
ing library station. Tho call for travollng
libraries Is so great that It will bo Impos
llblo to servo everybody who applies.
"Tho commission Is ready to receive
Klfts, clthor of book or monoy. Corre
spondent with tho secretary will enable
donors to ascertain tho needs of tho com
mission. Hound volumes or unbound num
bers of standard magazines such as Har
pers', Munsey, Ladles' Homo Journal, Youths'
Companion and St. Nicholas aro particularly
nccoptablo. Thoy will bo sent with tho
travollng libraries to communities whero
nucli Uteraturo Is vory scarce. Tho secre
tary will arrango for their transportation

Superintendent Kowler has received num

by tho last legislature. Tho act was drafted
by a non-partisan and non-sectarian com
mittee, In which tho leading nationalities
and the Roman Catholic, Lutheran and

whethor attendance at a aorman school ex
cuses a pupil from attending tho public
school. In response to this and othor sim
ilar Inqulrlos Mr. Kowler has made tho
following official ruling:
"In answer to tho question I will say
that that portion of tho law' requiring at

Ho procured four ounces of the fluid this
morning nt 11 o'clock, saying ho Intended
to use It for cleaning clothes, then loft
tho drugstore, entered his shop and closed
and locked tho door.

BEATRICE, Neb.. Nov. 80. To the Editor
of The Heo: In your Issue of The Dally Heo
for tho 28th Inst, thero appeared an edi
torial under tho nbove heading which seems
to havo been received with very genorul
approval by tho reading public. Your posi
tion was sound and much more equally trun
could be added to show that the method
UBetl to raise funds for tho Cotton exposi
tion was extremely vicious In Hh nature
and Its evil effect cropped out nt tho next
meeting of the legislature.
Thero may bo u personal reason why
Mr. Furnas Is ndvocatlng tho same plan
r.ow. That gentleman was designated nt
the tlmo of the New 'Orleans exposition n
the most competent mnn to be sent down
thero to urrnngo nnd tnko charge of tho
display from this state, which he engaged
to do gratis, nil his traveling expenfe!??
board nnd other personal expenses to bo
paid by tho state while ho was thero on
duty. So well pleased wero his. constituents
that on his return he was nwnnled a vote
of thanks and a gold medal for faithful
servlco nt tho front. Thero It was sup
posed that he would rest content nnd go
down Into history ns n patriotic citizen,
who had served tho stnto well and had
been honored therefor.
Hut no; ho had received all the honor
nnd now reached out for tho protlt also.
The legislature of 1887 wan about to meet,
bo he took tho pains to mnll to each member-elect
n printed circular, signed' by
himself, wherein ho set forth tho fact of
his gratuitous service nnd tho consequent
voto of thanks nnd tho gold medal and
thon urged all this ns u threefold reason
why each member should voto for a bill
which would bo Introduced nt tho coming
Hussion giving him tho modest llttlo sum
of $5,000 for his services nt tho Cotton ex
position during two or three months, Rut
why multiply words In telling how a few
members In vain tried to defeat this bill,
or, nt leaBt. to cut It down to n reasonable
tlKurc. It la n matter of record that tho
bill went through with a rush without any
amendment. Now. Is it nny wonder that
Mr. Furnas, nfter drawing this $5,coo. thinks
the Cotton exposition plan or precedi-nt n
good one? J. N. FULLER
