the secretary of the board materially in
that the various classes of Its property
have been totaled and this great adding
Job will not have to be done by the sec
retary of the board, as It was done last
year.

There Are Others.
Buparlntandent Fowler Is not the only
Stale superintendent who drew salary as
secretary of the Stats Board of Education.
The records show that all state superin
tendents have, drawn auch salary, or at
least as far back as lSi During the next
two years, however, Mr. McBrlen will
not draw the extra M a year. When the
hoard Orst met after the election the mil
ter was brought up and Mr. McBrlen re
fused to take the money, holding that it
was contrary to the constitution. Inci
dentally, Mr. McBrlen will no longer
serve the board as secretary. Since the
new normal school construction work was
begun the work of the secretary has been
so heavy that the office work has had to
be either ruahed or neglected. Conse
quently at the next meeting of the board
Mr. McBrlen will resign and it la just
possible that the board will sulcct a sal
aried secretary and pay him out of the
expense fund of the Institution.
Nearlia-enee Kills aa Appropriation.
The Grand iBland Soldiers' home will not
get its two fire escape out of the $2,000
appropriated by the late legislature. The
reason of this is because the enrolling
clerk failed to engross the item with the
bill. The matter was called to the at
tention of Governor Mickey this afternoon,
but as the bill Is long since out of his
hands hs refused to do anything about It.
Incidentally, the claims for former At
torney General Prout and Auditor Searle
to pay for their bonda were left out of the
bill by the enrolling clerks, but were put
in by the governor.
Traction Company Raises Wages.
Because of the Increased cost of living
in Lincoln the Traction company this
morning voluntarily boosted the salaries
of Its men from 8 to 10 per cent, effective
May 1. Tbo new scale gives the beginner
14 cents an hour and the five-year con
ductors 20 cents an hour. '
Oil Inspector Reports.
The report of Ed A. Church, state oil
Inspector, for the month of March, filed
today, shows: Expenses, 8890.31; paid
treasurer, 3858.99; gross receipts, 11,749 30.
Election for Congressman.
Governor Mickey is considering the call
ing of an election for the First congres
sional district for the punrpose of se
lecting a successor to Senator Burkett. It
is not improbable the time will be fixed
some time In July, probably between the
11th and 18th. The governor has not yet
decided upon the date, but probably will
jnuke the announcement Monday.

FROST'S EFFECTS OH FRUIT CROP
Ploms Hnrt, Peaches Already Rained,
Apples and Cherries Safe.
CRETE, Neb., April 16.-tSpeclal.) Snow
this morning covered the earth to a depth
of almost three Inches. The minimum tem
perature recorded last night was 21, being
two degrees lower than that of Thursday
night. Much apprehension is felt as to
the probable effects of the cold and snow
upon the fruit crop.
When Interviewed this morning E. F.
Stephens, ex-president of the State Hor
ticultural society snd an acknowledged
authority among horticulturists of the
state, expressed little fear of any serious
results. "The peach crop," said Mr.
Stephens, 'was entirely ruined by the un
uauul severity of the winter. Plums are
the only other fruit sufficiently advanced
to suffer serious results from this cold and
the destruction of the plum crop Is now
no doubt completed, but fortunately it is
not a very important one In this state.
"Apples, cherrtea and the the smaller
fruits are not far enough advanced to
have suffered serious injury and give
promise of a very good crop. The gradual
rise In the temperature, both yesterday
morning and this morning as well, has
tended to modify the effects of the low
temperature prevailing during the night;
otherwise the results might have been
more serious. Except for the peaches and
plums there Is yet promise of a good fruit
crop for our state."
GENEVA. Neb.. April 16. (Special.) Lest
night the temperature dropped to above
sero and. snow fell to the depth of three
lushes. Bushes green with leaves were
completely covered.
FREMONT, Neb.. April 16.-(8peoial.)-Ovcr
three inches of snow fell here yes
terday afternoon and last night. The
mercury this morning stood at 20. the same
as yesterday morning. Fruit growers are
much alarmed over the prospects for this
year. Early plum trees and a few apple
trees were In blossom and the buds aert
swelled on nearly all fruit and ahude trees.
All early garden stuff that was up was
frozen and will have to be replanted. The
snow, however, will be a benefit to farm
lands.
LINCOLN, April 15. The temperature
last night was so far below the freezing
point In Nebraska that all the fruit buds
would I.ave been killed had not the trees
been covered with a blanket of heavy
snow. Fruit growers say today that the
snow has saved a Marge portion of the
crop and that the trees are sufe, provided
another freeze does not come with the
branches unprotected.
NORFOLK. Nob., April lS.-Eieht Inches
of snow Is reported from Alnsworth.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. April lS.-The
temperature fell to 16 degrees below the
freezing point last night and much damage
has been done to such of the fruit trees as
were well advanced In the budding stage.
The inch and a half of snow which fell
yesterday afternoon melted rapidly this
morning. Much early garden truck was
killed.
WEST POINT. Neb., April 15. (Special.)
A henvy. wet snow fell throughout this
section last evening, but Is rapidly melting.
The frost damaged early vegetables some
what. Tho moisture will be very beneficial
to small grain and gardens.
AUBURN, Neb., April 15. (Special.)
About an Inch of snow covered the ground
this morning. A hnlf-lnch of ice was
frozen on water standing In small vessels.
It Is feared that fruit will suffer. How.
ever, plums are about Ihe only trees that
have blossomed yet and they are quite
hardy. There will be no peaches In this
section this year, the buds having been
killed by the severe cold weather during
the winter. This Is the best peach sec
tion of the state, and the loss of this crop
will be severely felt. The weather has
somewhat moderated today.
ST. PAUL, Neb., April 15. (Special.) The
cold wave precipitated a brisk fall of snow
yesterday afternoon, which measured up
to three Inches During last night !he
minimum temperature was 15 degrees.
However, no damuge to vegetation is
feared except what may be caused to the
earliest fruit.
8HELTON. Neb., April 15. (Special. )
The weather turned cold yesterday and
two to three Inches of snow has fallen.
Some fruit trees are In full bloom and
much garden truck is up and will be badly
frost bitten.
GIBBON, Neb., April 15. (Special.) Two
Inches of snow fell here yesterday.
TBCUM8EH. Neb., April 16 (Special.)
Some damage has been done to the trees
that were well along in bud and small
fruit that was advanced. The wheat and
grass have benefited by the moisture, and
It Is said the freeze will be Instrumental
In killing many pests that destroy the
grain and fruit.
HASTINGS. Neb.. April lo.-(Speelal.)-Sloet
yesterday afternoon turned to snow
about 6 o'clock and continued until the
newly mowed lawns and garden beds of
radish, onions, lettuce and other early
vegetables were covered by an inch of
snow. Practically all the fruit and early
garden prospects were destroyed.

BROKEN HOW. Sab.. April IS. (Special.)
The first case In this city under the Ju
venile court laws was held before Judge

has been working for Q. O. Joyner near
Ortello for the last six months, should be
placed with some repponsible family for
the next two years, working- for his board
and clothing and going ta school six months
out of the year. The boy is the son of J. K.
Power, who insisted on drawing the boy's
wages every month and putting Uum to
his own use, not even buying him clothing.
Mr. Joyner. seeing In what a dilapidated
condition the boy was. took money coming
to him and bought some necessary articles
of clothing, whereupon the father raised
a row. Neighbors then took the matter up.
