I LINCOLN. Neb., Bept. 15.-(Speclal.)-The
Nebraska Methodist Episcopal conference
comprising the South Paltte territory, be
gan Its sessions here tonight with a le
ceptlon to Bishop Andrews of New Tork.
who will preside at the meetings. The re
ception was given under the auspices of
the Epworth league at the St Paul church.
One of the Important works of the conven
tion will be the election of four delegates
to the general conference to be held nt
Loe Angeles next May. This will be done
probably Friday afternoon and much In
terest la being manifested from the fact
that several parties want to go, anion
them being a number of women, Governor
Mickey, Dr. Paine and I O. Jones, the
latter president of the Epworth league.
Among the prominent women candidates
for the honor Is Mrs. A. F. Newman, a
Ister of John M. Thurston and the first
woman (o attend a general conference as
a delegate from Nebraska. This next gen
eral conference will , be the first one in '
Which women camslt without a debate.
Just who the four delegates wtll be Is ,
j . .... . .
not anown, ana it is more than probable
that either Governor Mickey or Dr. Paine
will be turned down, as both are members
of the St. Paul church. Both have been
to the general conference and last year Dr.
Paine won out over Mr. Jones after a hard
fight. When Gevornor Mickey came to
town and placed his letter with the St. Paul
people, It Injected another strong candidate
In the field, In view of his services In the
Methodist church. Dr. Paine, however. Is
a member of the lay conference that selects
the delegates to the general conference.
Governor Mickey said this morning that
he was doing nothing to secure the honor
and 'did not intend to, but If the church
aaw fit to send him he would be glad to go.
The Nebraska conference Includes those
churches In the South Platte country, and
as far west as Hastings. Formerly the
tate consisted of this one conference, but
It Is now divided Into four divisions, the
others being the northwest section, which
comprises that country around Chadron, the
west division, which Includes all the west
ern and the southwestern part of the state,
and the . north division, Including Omaha
and the northeast section of the state.
This Is the first time in sixteen years that
the conference has met In Lincoln, and
It Is expected that fully 400 delegates will
be In attendance. The church members In
this city Intend to do all in their power
to entertain royally all visitors.
(hertaa-a mt Teachers.
Eastern teachers could find good em
ployment In Nebraska Just about this time
If they happened to be of that c'.ass that
rates above the third grade. Reports re
ceived by the state superintendent show
that the state Is short about 160 teachers.
This Is not due to a scarcity of material
from which instructors are made, but from
the fact that the ready made variety are
all engaged, and that la the only kind the
school boards of the state want. Reports
how the number of teachers now lacking
In these counties: Cherry, twenty; Custer,
twenty; Dawes, ten; Red Willow,-eight;
Frontier, fifteen; Cheyenne, ten; Brown,
ten; Boyd, ten, and Logan, four.'' This lat
ter county employs, only about twenty
teachers In all.
In these counties no teacher, holding a
third grade certificate will be employed,
none but the best being, wanted. The
school term on the average. Is six months
end the salary la from $36 to $50 a month.
From the superintendent's office It Is
learned that the state has just as many
third grade teachers as formerly and that
It la the higher quality demanded that has
caused the shortage.

Nebraska National Guard, are getting In

pected that all members of the general

Waltlaa far the Wacom.
Lincoln school children are supposed to
be enjoying the novel experience of going

the arrangements made by the board when
It closed the Jordan school in the outlying
districts and tried to pacify a number of
angry patrons. The board members first
offered to have the children taken to school
In street cars, but this did not suit the
parents, so the carryall Idea was adopted.
But so far no one has been found riding

WAHOO, Neb., Sept. 15 (Special Tele
gram.) On August 13, 19ii3, a special elec
tion was held in Saunders county to vote
$S5,000 bonds for a new court house. The
proposition carried by a vote of 1,967 to
524. The proposition was forwarded to
Auditor Weston at Lincoln for the issu
ance of the bonds and the following letter
was received:
H. Gllklnson, Wahoo, Neb.: Dear Sir
Herewith 1 return your history of ihe bond
proposition to be lanucd by Saunders
county to provide funds for the erection of
a court house. I am sorry to Inform you
that 1 cannot approve Of the proceedings
had In the matter for the following
reason: Section 27. article. I, chapter xvlli.
Statutes of Nebraska of l!il. require that
the notice calling an election for such a
purpose shall be published for four weeks,
and this section has been held by our su
preme court to mean twenty-eight days
must Intervene between the clay notice Is
given and the day election Is held. This
decision will be found In the Fifty-eighth
Nebraska, page 734. Jn this Instance It la
only a matter of one day, but In my opin
ion this Is just as fatal to the legality of
the Issuance as though It had been a
greater number of days and before the
proceedings cou'd be approved by this
office It would be necessary to hold an
other election complying fully with the
provision of section 27.
