Interesting Convention
and Fine Banquet.
Though the attendance of delegates
to the convention of tho Nebraska State
League of Building and Loan Associa
tions, held in this city Wednesday, was,
not as large aa expected, the sessions
were pronounced exceptionally inter
esting because more than the usual
number of livo questions enmo up for
discussion. Tho number of delegates
numbered twenty-five, each represent
ing an association'iocnted in somo city
or town cast of North Platte. The
building and loan association work in
Nebraska has grown enormously during
tho past dozen years and tho assets of
the state associations now exceed thirty
million dollars. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that North Platte was the
pioneer town in organizing nn associa
tion. This was In 1876, and while the
organization did not prove a success, it
oponcd the way to other associations
that did prove successful in following
years as is attested by the North Platte
association that now has assets exceed
ing a half million' dollars.
Through the state league legislation
safe-guarding tho borrower as well as
tho inyestor has been passed, and by
the league working in harmony with the
state banking board, the associations
have reached a stage of conservative
management and good business policy
that places them on a solid basis, The
league has been, organized twenty-two
years, and during that time no associa
tion in its membership has had financial
trouble nor have any of the offices
proven untrue to their tniBt. These and
many other facts of interest to the
public were brought out by the speakers
at the convention and at tho banquet
held in the erening; while the exchange
of ideas and information brought out
by the addresses at the two sessions of
the convention were helpful to the men
who are at the head of the many asso
ciations In the state.
Following the afternoon session the
delegates were given a ride through fe
city, to the experimental sub-station,
and tojather points. At the conclusion
of this ndo the banquet was held In the
Presbyterian church parlors, covers
being laid for seventy, business and
professional men of tho city to tho num-2
ber of forty-five occupying seats. The
menu served by tho Presbyterian ladies
proved a most excellent ono nnd tho
seivice prompt and efficient. John J.
Halligan occupied the toastmaster's
chair, and those who responded with ad
dresses were Messrs. Fitzmorris of
Omaha, Murdock of South Omaha,
Gillan of Auburn, and Senator Hoag
land and E. F. Seoberger of this city.
These nddresses were principally
along the lines of association work.
The out-of town speakers complimented
the citizens upon their hospitality and
the town on its neat and .attractive ap
pearance; assuring their hosts that tho
convention had been an exceptionally
profitable one, their reception most
hearty and their Bhort stay very pleas
ant. 120 Attend Teachers' Institute.
Tho Lincoln county teachers' institute
has been in session this week with nn
attendance of 120 teachers and prospec
tive teachers. Practically all tho teach
ers of the district s'chools are enrolled
and are displaying commendable inter
est and enthusiasm in the work. The
corps of instructors js efficient and the
work is moving along very satisfactor
ily. The Junior Normal opens next Mon
day and a large per contage of tho at
tendants at the institute will enroll in
the normal. Dr. Beattie, who will
again be tho superintendent of the
normal, arrived from Lincoln a fow days
ago and is perfecting the arrangements
for the normal opening.
The enrollment at tho normal last
year was 124, and. l is believed that
fully as many will attend this year.
The Governor Falls Us.
At a late date Governor Moorehead
notified T. Cv jjWe'reon that he would
be detained ftj Lincoln and could not
be present at' the 'buil'dinir and loan
league convention as ho had promised.
This wns not only a source of regret to
the convention and tho people of North
Platte, but a disappointment to a
number of country democrats who had
come to town for tho express purposo
of shaking hands with the govornor.
