Tho Turkish officials continue to in
sist that no attempt was mado on tho
vico consul's llfo and they re-assert
that tho whole story originated In a
fou-de-jolo fired on tho occasion of a
marrlago In accordanco with customs.
Mr. LeiBhman, however, refuses to
accept an explanation without con
clusive proof that tho judicial Investi
gation continues. "
Tho attempt to burn tho American
, college at Harpoot occurred 'five weeks
ago and apparently was the work of
an Individual who considered ho had
a grievance against tho collego au
thorities. When Mr. Lelshman was
Informed of tho attempt ho demanded

ing from a marriago feto, that tho shot
was fired In tho air and that It hap
pended Just as Mr. Magelssen was
passing In his carriage. This, tho dis
patch says, led tho vico consul to be
lieve that an attempt had been made
osalnst his llfo. The man who did
the shooting already has been deliv
ered to the Judicial authorities. Che
blk Bey's dispatch also asserts that
order and tranqullfty prevail at Bey

LEGAL BATTLE FOR NORMAL
Rivals of Kearney Talk of Restrain
ing Board.
LINCOLN. Ab a result of tho Stato
Normal board locating the now nor
mal school at Kearney thero arc some
tender Bpots left on tho citizens ol
somoof tho other towns that wero in
tho contest. Even Treasurer Morten
son feels keenly disappointed. Tho
treasurer had all tho confidence In the
world that Ord would bo tho place,
and he nursed tho thought until ho
saw the school building looming up
in his town. If Ord couldn't get It,
then the treasurer, it is said, wantod
It to go to Broken Bow. Ho waited
just a little too long, and Mr. Rogers
flopped from Broken Bow to Kearney.
On several occasions Mr. Rogers had
changed his voto to locato the school,
until finally ho was successful.
It was reported hero that an In
junction would bo asked for by ono or
moro- of tho competing towns te pre-'
vent Kearney from getting tho school
without a fight through tho courts.
The request is to bo based on tho fact
that Kearney offered twenty acres of
land which is not In ono tract,
when the law requires that tho land
bo ono tract of not less than twenty
acres; that Kearney was allowed to
modify Us bids after all were opened;
and if theso are not sufficient to get'
the injunction, then tho constitution
allty of tho law giving the board tha
power to locato the school will be at'
tacked.

The Nerve-Racking Piano.
Tho general belief that the plana
was not only an instrument of per

serts that out of 1,000 girls who be
gan to play the piano beforo they
were 14 no less than 600 wero affected
by some kind of nervous disease,
while out of 1,000 girls who had not
been put at playing Bcales only 100
wero so affected. His recommenda
tion is tli at girls should not begin to
work on the piano until they are 16.
