Says Country Schools ,
Superior to City Kind
Lincoln,' Feb. 7. (Spccial.That
the country school is superior u
the town school was the statement
todav by F. Ju Voghance. superin
tendent of schools in Colfax coun
ty, at the opening of the state meet
ing of county superintendents..
"Independent thought corno to
the child in the country school,
he said. "In the city school every
one is held down to what the average
pupil can acquire.
Continuing, he scored the present
salary schedule for teachers.
"The truth is that teachers with
second grade certificates are doing
better work than those with first
grade certificates," he said.
Vogltance also threw, a little dy
namite at the mental tests imposed
on children these days.
"My only mental test is the eighth
grade examination," he said. "Four
teen years is the normal age of a
bov going out of the eighth grade
and if he passes, it is certain he is
normal." :
Take Piece From Man's Shin
for Grafting Fractured Arm
Columbus, Neb., Feb. 7. (Spe
cial.) An unusual operation . was
. performed at the Evans hospital
here on Mahlon Bonner.
Two years ago Bonner was struck
by a Union Pacific passenger train
wiiile in an automobile, and received
a compound fracture of his right
forearm, the bones protruding
through the flesh. The ends of the
"bones failed to knit. Finally it was
decided to attempt to correct the
condition by grafting a piece of bone
in it. A piece of . bone was taken
from his right shin, the ends of 'e
useless bone in the arm trimmed
back and the' new bone inserted.
Mr. Bonner sued the railroad com
pany for damages at the time, but
the case was decided against him.

Organizes in Custer
(Continued Prom !': Orir.)
Bryan delegate to the last democratic
national convention.
Mr. Beat announced today he
would accept the filing of his name
for the primary election. Petitions
for him were started this afternoon.
The congressional district con
vention was guided by Virgil Allen
of Custer, as chairman, and II. J.
Stewart of ScottsblulT. secretary.
A committee was named to select a
chairman of the congressional district
campaign committee.
Taylor Injects Zest.
V. J. Taylor of Mcrna injected
zest into the morning session by
ureincr acceptance. of the Opinion of
Secretary of State Amsberry and At
torney -General Davis, who advised
that the law does not require attend
ance of 100 when organizing a new
political party in a county or a con
gressional district, in case such party
already has a state organization.
State Chairman Edmisten asserted
that this opinion may be correct, but
that the party should take no
chances.
"There is nothing to be gained and
much to Dc lost Dy disagreeing mi
these officials." said Taylor. "The
other parties are not putting obstacles
in our wav. Thev have found out
that persecutions promote the suc
cess of their opponents."
"The old parties will resort to any
thing to obtain success," retorted H.
G. Stewart of Mitchell.
Mr. Edmisten proposed a friend
ly suit to settle the matter.
Bigelow for Senate?
The selection of the new party's
candidate for United States senator
is attracting much interest. Those
mentioned today were: A. H. Bige
low of Omaha, A. G. Wray of York,
Edgar Howard of Columbus, for-
mer senator vv. v. Alien oi iviaai
son and Republican National Com
mitteeman R. B. Howell of Oma
ha. Petitions were circulated for Mr.
Bigelow, who has many supporters
in Custer county.'
"Endorse W. v. Allen," was the
message ot Jidgar iiowara in a
letter in which he expressed confit
dence that Allen will make a declara
tion of principles satisfactory to the
progressives. ' -
I, too, am for Allen, said lay-
lor. "I could get 2oO signatures in
Custer county for Allen if he would
subscribe to our party."
t'R. B. Howell cannot be a can
didate on the progressive ticket un
less he renounces his allegiance to
the republican party and resigns as
republican national committeeman,"
said B. Is Ballard, chairman of the
Douglas county central committee.
Edmisten declared that no man
could tell whether there will be one
or many candidates for each of the
various offices in the new party's
primary. '
The populist .party killed itselt
by fusion and w;e want to avoid
that," said, C. W. Beal ,of Broken
Bow, chairman of the morning .ses
sion. It .Howell wants the nomina
tion he can have it only if he comes
over into our party." -
May Be Party Contest.
F. L. Bollcu said that if the move
ment favoring. Wray for senator and
A. Aorton of Polk county lor
governor could be put through,
Wray would have no opposition in
the primary. Otherwise,' he said,
there may be a senatorial contest.
t-dgar i Howard is seewng the
senatorial nomination notwithstand-
ng his declaration to the contiary
last December," said Bollen. "The
trouble wijh Howell is he has made
no declaration of principles and I
don t believe any progressive will
sign his petition unless he does."
b. A. Dean and J. U. Ream of
Broken Bow, E. S. Coats of Ord and
H. F. Ballard of Umaha are circu
lating petitions for. the following:
Senator, A. H. Bigelow; governor,
A. G. Wray; attorney general, F. L.
Bollen; lieutenant governor, T. J.

coming to Loi Angelcsto attend the
burial. It may have belonged to
any one of many beautiful women.
The handkerchief, so far as the
police can learn, has nothing to do
with the murder. But then, they say,
neither has the missing pink silk
nighty, for which they arc still
searching. . , '
The mystery of the nighty dis
appearance simply adds to the my
terv of the case. The disappearance
of Mabel Normand's Utters, however,
is believed by the potior to have a
sinister significance. They have not
yet been found.
It was reported that the new
county grand jury may be given this
case within a few days.
Sands it Keystone.
'"We are progressing with the
case," said Capt. Adams, "even if
only by the process of elimination.
We have not yet made any arrests,
or taken any one on suspicion, nut
we are gradually getting out of -all
the false trails that have been hiding
the real path. I believe it all rests
with Sands. Once we have him,
we'll have everything."
The angle eliminated today was
the theory that the New York brok
er, who came here ostensibly to
marry Miss Mary. Miles Mintcr.
might have slain the director out of
jealousy. It was well known tnat
Taylor idolized the girl. It was
learned today, however, that the
fftiiner man did not flee the city the
a-,.. ur the murder from any ap
prehensions. The management of
the hotel at which he was a guest
had requested him to leave. The
broker brought a film actor and two
extra girls into his room.
It is declared that the quartet was
noisy and that people in nearby
rooms summoned the hotel detective.
The latter declares the broker and
the actor were entertaining their
fair companions in a rather uncon
ventional manner, and that there was
much drink in th place. He declares
further that when he asked the
women to leave the men assaulted
him.
