LINCOLN. Jan. 2. (Special Telegram")
No doubt exists tonight that the Nebraska
Stato Teachers' association will voto to
morrow to hold its next annual convention
In Lincoln, but thero are no grounds to
night upon which a prediction can bo safely
rendo os to the election of officers. The
members met this afternoon according to
congressional districts and elected n nom
inating committee, and. thla.commlttco will
meet early tomorrow morning to deter
mlno upon a report, which will bo nub
milted, to tho general assembly at the 3
o'clock session.
Prominent among the men spoken of for
the presidency are: J, D. French of Hast
ings, V. L. Stephens,, of Ueatrlcc. E. D.
Sherman of Schuyler. Superintendent Kern
df Columbus, "Superintendent Arnott of Fre
mont, 0. K.- Condra of Lincoln and H. O.
Thomas of Kearney. It Is reported ton'ght
that E. J. Bodwcll of Omaha Is throwing
Ills Influence to, French, which, If true, will
give that man a strong following at the
contest tomorrow.
For the first, time In many years Super
intendent I'earsc of Omaha has remained
nway from tho convention. Heretofore Mr.
Pearso has been one of tho most actlvo
of the political workers of the osoc!a- j
t on and this year he t more conspicuous
than ever, but for his nbsence Instead of
his frcsonco.

.Auditor Weston today revoked tho Ilccnso
of tho National Aid association of Topeka
to transact fraternal insurance business In

with this end in view resigned their posi
tions and allowed them to be filled Illegally
at the dictation of tho Bankers' union au

oner, who Is serving a twenty-year sen

slaughter, Wragg, In his confession, sent to a Pitts
burg paper, said that he and a companion
bad held up a saloon keeper named Hltzlcr
In Cincinnati In July, 1896, and In a fight
which ensued Hltzlcr was killed. As they
ran away from the saloon Wragg says he
shot at a man who was running toward

Carter says ho Is the man referred to;
that hearing tho shooting In the saloon he

claims ho waa wounded In the shoulder.
When ho reported the assault to the police
ho was taken Into custody and charged
with the murder. Ho had. previously lived

west of the Cheyenne reservation, as well
as members of his survey crow, report un
limited quantities of a superior quality of
lignite coal along the Grand river valley.
The. veins In many places actually crop
out of the ground, and Its use In camp, as
well as testa by experts, conclusively prove
the superior quality of the coal. Several
efforts have been made to get capitalists
Interested, and although investigation has
fully substantiated all the claims made, the
Inaccessible location of tho deposits from
railroads have made It impossible to develop
the mines,' The line of railroad proposed
will solve that difficulty and place the coal
within convenient reach of tho people of
the stato, and the towns on the Missouri,
which could be reached with barges, would
be especially favored.
D. W. Overackor of Chamberlain, who has
Just roturncd from the work of constructing
a number of dams along the cattlo trail lead
ing to Evarts for tho Milwaukee company,
says that several months ago a fire broke
out in a vein of coal sixty miles west of
Evarts and that the company bad blm plow
a strip around the burning coal and burn
oft tho grass inside in order to avoid the
possibility of damage to the cattle range
by prairie fire, and he states that tho Are
was so Intense that his men could not get
closer than 100 yards to the burning coal.
He reports that he found coal in abundance
and he brought back with him a chunk
about two feet long' which was so hard
that frequent handling and rough ucago did
not crack or crumble It. Those coal deposits
aro well known to many, and thero Is ab
solutely' no question whatever as to Its ex
istence In inexhaustible quantities or the
perfect accessibility so far as Us mining
is concerned.
