Maddle Over a Corpse.
The University of Nebraska and the Lin
coln Medical college were on the brink of
a "stiff" fight this morning and C. L.
Harnley of the office of the state superin
tendent spent several hours of nervous ap
prehension, finally winding up !n a blase of j
rlghtrus wrath all because someone trifled
with him about the disposition of a cadaver, j
the last of a stranger found murdered at j
Humphrey. j
l nner the law It Is the auty or ptate su
perintendent Fowler, who Is secretary of
the State Roard of Pharmacy, to designate
to what college unidentified dead bodies are
to be sent. By an agreement with the col
leges the superintendent distributes the
b,dles In rotation and according to his rule
this Inst one should have gone to the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
Someone knew of this arrangement and
also thnt the body was expected to arrive
in Uncoln today To start the ba.ll rolling
he cslled up Mr. Harnley, who was In
charge of the superintendent's office, and
said the cadaver had arrived and would le
ht ought to the state house or to any place
design.-! ted by the' clerk. The caller was
promptly ordered to take It to the univer
sity. In a short time another call rang In
at the superintendent's office, and this time
the caller was supposed to be at the unl- j
v.ralti- Tin Informed tho clerk thnt the I
cadaver had arrived, but that the univer
sity did not want It and hud therefore or
dered the driver to take It to the state
he use. While Harnley was looking out the
window expecting the arrival of the dead
wagon someone else .called up and repre
sented himself to be the driver of the dead
wagon. He was a very Indignant man, Ac
cording to the things he said, and he was
very tired of hauling a cadaver nil over
town. He was then headed for Jhe state
house, he said, and would be there shortly.
Harnley coaxed and pleaded, but the driver
was firm.
In order that the cadaver would not be
left on his hands Harnley called up the
Lincoln Medical college and to the man In
charge he presented the cadaver. About
this time half a dosen Inquiries began to
arrive, presumably from the university,
asking for the cadaver and equally as
many from the Lincoln Medical college.
presumably demanding to know the cause
of the delay In the arrival of their sub
ject. Finally In his despair, seeing a fight
pending between the two schools. Harnley
cslled Dr. Carr of the Medical college and
told him of his predicament and the doc
tor released him from his promise. About
the time Harnley got the' matter straight
ened out he learned that the cadaver was
not expected to arrive here until late this
evening. ,
nnrllngion's Shop Force.
Reports that have reached Omaha lately
to the effect that the Burlington in Lin
coln Is systematically cutting down its
force, Is denied at headquarters most em
phatically. An engine man at Lincoln was
asked concerning the report and he, too,
denied that the force was materially smal
ler than at this time last year. At the
office of the superintendent of motive
power It was reported that at Havelock,
where nearly 600 men are employed, prac.
tlcally no change had occurred there dur
ing the entire year. At none of the offices
or among the employes could there be
found any foundation for the report that
the Burlington was having any trouble
with Its employes.
Probably the reason for the report that
a systematic cutting down was In progress
was due to the laying off of about 160 men
since the holidays. A large number of
these men were employed extra and sre
only used at times of a rush of work. Im
mediately after the holidays and just pre
ceding much of the work of the company
was stopped and consequently, as the road
does every year. It let out a number of
men. v
Of the 160 men recently let out about
ninety were of the supply department.
Sixty of the ninety were coal ahovelers
employed to unload company fuel and
when the work was finished there was
nothing else for them to do. The remaining
thirty were let out from the Salt creek
material yards. The work In these yards
has been unusually heavy all winter, but
becomes slack now because1 there is noth
Ing doing In the line of improvements of
roadbeds snd track snd there Is little de
mand for material.
Of the remainder some were cut out of
the section gang and a switch crew or
two .were cut off; some were cut off in
the carpenter and bridge departments and
the local roundhouse. A large number
were let out of the bridge department be
cause there is Just at this time little work
being done on bridges. In the train and
engine departments, both passenger and
freight, the reduction Is said to be vary
small and not more than la customary at
the dull season of the year. By reason of
the slack business a number of men have
been put. on the extra list, though they
have not been let out.
' The freight department let out a num
ber of men Immediately after the holidays,
but recently many of these have been
taken back, and if there Is sny change In
this department In the' number of men
employed the force Is larger than it for
merly wss. In the headqusrters snd at
the" jsrd office and store department the
services of a few office men have been
dispensed with, but this Is said to be sim
ply the ordinary reduction during periods
of dull traffic.

We heartily endorse the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt. Grounded on high
moral principles, fearless, positive, able, he
has conducted the affairs of his hicrh office
in obedience to the law and In the interests
of the people. We commend him for exact
ing perfect fidelity from every official and
expoHlns; and punishing the delinquent. We
respectfully approve his faithful work In
punning the building of the Panama canal,
which will prove of inestimable advantagu
to the commerce of the whole world -and
strengthen the protections of the coast line
of our country. We confidently expect his
election by an overwhelming majority.
We commend the adminiHtratton or Gov
ernor Mickey as being clean and economical
and worthy or the support or the best cltl
zciihIiId of Nebruska.
We approve of the good work In congress
bv our Congressman, J. J. McCarthy, and
we congratulate him upon the certainty of
a unanimous nomination and his election as
n teward for his faltlirul and efficient serv
Ice.
Declare Faith In Eaton.
We present H. M. Eaton, candidate for
commissioner of public lands and buildings,
to the consideration of the republicans of
the state. As deputy he has proved his
rlaim In all respects for the highest place.
We declare our faith in his integrity and
our knowledge of his qualifications for a
creditabia performance of official duties.
The delegates to the state conventions are
hereby Instructed to do everything in their
power to honorably secure his nomination.
We endorse the recommendation of the
central committee for a convention nomina
tion for I'nited States senator. We believe
the plan to be suggested by expediency and
to be a guaranty of the highest test of
official probity. The legislative nominees
are instructed to abide the action of the
state convention in this matter. Itelieving
in the intelligence and high personal quali
ties of Elmer J. Burkett in recognition of
his high standing at home and In Washing
ton, in view of his long and successful ex
perience In congress, where he has at
tained a position of great influence, the del
egates to the state convention are hereby
Instructed to vote for and use their best
efforts to secure his nomination.
Want the Hell Called.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted. After this artlon a delegate
moved that the roll of wards and precincts
be rolled on the adoption of the resolu
tions. The chair declared him out of order.
Mr. Eaton thought the convention ought to
pasa on the resolution and he wanted the
roll railed. He was not aware, be said,
that a vote had been taken. As a matter
ot fsct a large number of the delegates
were opposed to the senatorial resolutions.

as they did not believe It for the best In
terests of Mr. Eaton to tie up the delega
tion too strongly, but he expressed himself
as satisfied with them, and those who were
disposed to oppose them decided in the In
terests of harmony and hie candidacy to
say nothing. While the resolutions would
undoubtedly have been adopted on a roll
call the vote would have been far from
unanimous solely on account of the sena
torial question.
