A careful study of the statistics -of the preparatory depart ment shows that a very small number entering the first year of that depart ment remain in the university more than three years, and that these do not And exactly the studies that they wish, considering the time at their demand. The courses of the school of agricul ture aud mechanical arts are arranged to meet in a more satisfactory way the demand of those heretofore in prepara tory work. ! Thk last crop bulletin of tlie Xe ! brnska weather service says the past ' seven days, while far from favorable, [ are slightly more encouraging thau those of the preceding week, when cor respondents were generally inclined to overestimate the damage by the frosts [ and ice of the morning of the 19th. As j was predicted at the time, but little serious injury has resulted to the corn crop, and it has been necessary to re plant only a very small acreage. The fruit crop was badly damaged, but not to so great an extent as was first re ported. The entire state needs rain, and badly in all sections except the ! northern portion, where they have been | favored with a few light showers. Corn is generally up to a good st&nd, and lie lfields cut down by the frosts are tAowly recovering. ! Tii* officials of Adams county have made a mid on the- mortgage records, wiping otT the books all the paid but uncancelled mortgages. This, the Fremont Tribune says, is something that ought to bedone in every county in the state. Mortgage indebtedness statistics compiled under present con ditions are decidedly misleading and they work great injury, particularly to the west, which needs the largest pos sible volume of eastern money for its development, and whicli is rendered the more difficult to obtain by reason of this negligence on the part of money lenders t o cancel on the records obliga* tiens which bars bees discharged. * •FEARFUL DESTRUCTION. A XoM tff VS,000,000 In 'Onloniito by the Flood*. • Dkn'ver, -Col., June' 2.—Trom nil parts of the state come reports of ruin from floods clue to the heavy rains of the past few clays anil con servative estimates place the total losses at $5,000,000. At least four lives have so far been lost but many are missing’ aiul the death list may be greatly increased. In this city the Platte river continued to rise until 3 o’clock this morning and a raging tor rent is pouring through the lowlands. Colfax and Jerome park were flooded ut JI o'clock last night and the people living on the low ground had to Hee for their lives. The railway embank ment was washed nwuy in places and bridges were badly damaged. The loss will not he very great but the in convenience will be extreme. In Jerome park and vicinity 175 families were driven ont of their houses and camped on higher ground. As many more families living on the river bot toms of this city also lied to higher ground. Edward Whiteman, a boy, fell into the torrent and was drowned but no other fatalities have been re ported here. rorty lumuies who sougnt snellcr in the sliool house at Jerome park are isolated to-day, the building bein'* surrounded by water. Over 100 per sons rendered homeless by the floods have applied to the county commis sioners for aid. At Colorado Springs Chicago creek and Clear crook are raging torrents. Houses, trees and telegraph poles are going down before the flood, and thousands of dollars' worth of proper ty has been destroyed. Many mines have been flooded and tunnels have caved in. Freight and passenger trains are many hours late. At Loveland the ltig Thompson has spread all over the bottom lands, the stream being higher than at any time since 1876. The Home Supply ditch has been broken and the water works are twenty-live feet under water. This ditch supplies a large fanning territory .and cannot be repaired un til after harvest. At Colorado City, Fountain Qui Iiouille has overflowed its banks. The residence of John Herrington full into the stream.and was instant ly demolished. At Manitou business is practically suspended and hundreds of men are working to save their property. The stream from Williams canon is rush ing over Mineral Water park, cover ing the grass with gravel. Tons of earth have been torn from the pavilion grounds. Dynamite hus been used frequently to demolish gorges. The damage to streets, parks and private property cannot be estimated. At Boulder the pipe factory, five houses, the railroad tracks and all the city and railroad bridges have been washed away by the flood in lioulder creek. Poverty flats are submerged. No lives were lost. The Sunset branch of the (lulf railroad .aud the Moun tain road is entirely gone. The towns of Chrisman and Salina, mining camps in Boulder canon, the former six and the latter nine miles from Boulder, liuve been wiped out of existence. They had a population of about 'JUO, who are now homeless. Many placer mines .arc ruined. The total loss in and around Boulder is estimated at $500,000. Boulder has had no communication with Denver or any outside .point since Wednesday until to-day, as the telegraph wires were down and the roads impassable. All the crops in the St.Vrain valley, one of the richest grain regions in the stute, have been destroyed by the flood. The loss is very heavy. The damage to the mountain roads' by the floods is the heaviest ex perienced in .this state. The South Park Branch of the Union Pacific is under water from Wheatland to Pine Grove, a distance of thirty miles. In Pueblo three lives were lost, but the property damage is only about one-tenth what it was estimated at yesterday. COL. MOOKK’S CASK, It Will 'be Difficult ta Obtain a Majority Report for lilui. WAsmxoTos, jane S.—Colonel H. t,. Moore of Lawrence, who - is con testing Fun Eton's seat in congress, is having no end of trouble. Several of the Democrats have kicked clear out of harness and his friends on the com mittee fear that it will be difficult to obtain a majority report. Paynter of Kentucky, has espoused Funston’s side of the controversy, and several of the other Democrats are lukewarm in Moore's support. This is especially true of Democrats who have Populists to fear in their districts aDd look with disfavor on the fusion deal. Another effort will be made to get a favorable report on Colonel Moore's case Tuesday. Before it can be done, however, it will be necessary to satis fy the opposition to Moore in the Dem ocratic ranks. HUSBAND AND WIFE SHOT. Barskra Attempt to Murder Banker and Mr*. Hassell of Pulmyra.

THE BEL VIGOROUSLY DENOUNCED Senator lllll Writes a Strong teller Atfulttftt tl»o .Measure—Tlie J’ronmt er« of the Meeting IMsa|i|>olute(t in tha Small Attenilaiiee. Only About 1,000 I'cople lining Present—lleuilullons, Xkw York, June 4,—The business men's meeting in Carnegie Music, hall last evening to protest against the in come tux feature of the proposed tariff i bill was notable for the character of the audience, number and enthusiasm of those who attended. The call was signed by nearly 500 representatives of the largest business interests of the city. The platform was crowded with gentlemen influential in the business walks of life. Preparations had been made to accommodate the crowds that hud been expected, speakers hav ing' been selected to address an over flow meeting should the hall prove of insufficient capacity. It was something disappointing that the promoters waited for the crowds to cotne, and the speaking, which was to begin at 8 o’clock, was delayed half an hour. At that time the auditorium contained about 1,000 people. Colonel William L. Strong, president of the Central National bank, called the meeting to order, and nominated for chairman, President 12van Thomas, of the Produce exchange, and for sec retary, Ed ward O' Dwyer, of the Dem ocratic club. Senator Hill wrote: “1 regret that official engagements will prevent ac ceptance of your courteous invitation to be present at the meeting of the business men on Friday to protest against the incorporation of an in come tax in the pending tariff bill. “I need hardly assure you that I am heartily in sympathy with the pur pose of your meeting. An income tax feature has no proper, legitimate place in a tariff reform bill. It en genders and embarrasses an honest, equitable revisiou of our tariff laws, which was expected, if not desired,by the citizens of all parties. “The unfortunate effort to incor porate it in the pending measure has delayed a speedy disposition of the tariff subject, and induced a surrender of nearly every correct and consistent principle upon which a tariff reform should be based. “It is clear that it would not be adopted by congress if senators would vote according to their own conscien tious convictions rather that in pursu ance of a dicker, and a contemptible compromise founded upon no princi ple, and tolerated only as a misera ble makeshift or excused only as a temporary expedient. “1 am opposed to compromise where •questions of essential principles are involved. “It is immaterial whether this scheme is popular or unpopular; or whether it taxes the many for the benefit of the few, or the few for the benefit of the many, it is equally indefensible, vieious and unreason able. “As a representative, a citizen and a partisian I have opposed this in come tax fully from the start. I am opposing it now and shall continue my opposition to the end. I remain your fellow citizen. Davit) Him,.” Speeches were also made by Presi dent Waldo Smith, of the Wholesale Grocers’ association: Professor T. Lewis, in behalf of the insurance com panies; Lewis Windinuller, of the Reform club; Frederick Taylor, on be half of the bankers and brokers of Wall street; Lawyer Stern, John P. Townsend, of the llowery Savings bank; Chairman Evan Thomas and others, all in a vein of earnest oppo sition to the income tax. In addition to the resolution drawn up several days, ago memorializing congress against the income tax of the pend ing tariff bill, the following was adopted: * “Resolved, That we call upon ail the business associations and organiza tions of the several cities of the union to organize without delay, by mass meetings similar to our own, to voice the protest of the commercial interests affected so injuriously by the proposed income tax law." Secretary O'Dwyer said he had letters and telegrams from business men and corporations all over the country. AMENDING THEIR CHARTER. List of Amendments Proposed for the Farmers* Alliance. Washington, Juno 4.—A list of the amendments to the charter of the National Farmers’ Alliance and in dustrial union was filed in the record er’s office here yesterday.

CARRYING OUT BLAINE’S IDEAS Ei-Mpraker Herd's Sliver-Tariff Policy That of the Maine statesman. ■Washington, June 4.—The utter ances of ex-Speaker Reed, Senator Lodge, Representatives Harrows and Cannon anti other Republican leaders in favor of a freer use of silver are regarded in congressional circles as a revival of the plans and aspirations of James (1. HI nine to unite the nutions of the Western hemisphere by means of inter-continental railroads, reciprocal treaties and a common medium of exchange. Representative Hitt of Illinois, who was closely associated with Mr.Blaine, says that the proposition of Mr. Reed is on the lines of Mr. Blaine's policy. The latter was never fully spread be fore the public as it had a scope that could be developed only by patience and by slow stages, anil Mr. Blaine's health during his latter days was not such as to permit him to accomplish the ends he had in view. “Mr. Reed now presents the proposition with di rectness,” said he, “whereas Mr. Blaine proposed passive steps which tended toward the same general re sults. It was Mr. Blaine’s be lief that the nations of the Western hemisphere should be re ciprocally united in their commercial dealings, in their money, in their rail roads and in all lines of action which would make them strong against the rest of the world. Most of the South ern republics were ready lor mutual action on silver, as they are silver using countries, but they were not ready for discriminating tariffs which would cut them off from the import duties on vvhieli they largely depend. The reciprocity treaties were a step in the direction of that mutual co-op eration. Mr. Blaine's speeeh before the Pan-American conference dis closed that his policy embraced united action on silver, on the tariff, and on all subjects in which Western nations had a common purpose.” great tieai oi significance is given to the Reed interview by many public men here. For several months there has b?en a growing sentiment among the Republican members in favor of a liberal policy towards silver. Among Mr. Reed’s most intimate and constant associates in the house of late have been Representative Xewland of Ne vada and Sweet of Idaho, who are radical supporters of silver. The ex speaker has made a study of the silver question from the standpoint of the miner and Western member until he is said to have a mastery of the intri cacies of the question quite e qual to that of Mr. Bland. HILL AFTER OPEN INQUIRY. The New Yorker Pleads for a Public In vestigation—The Sugar Debate. Washington, June 4.—At the open ing of the senate session to-day Mr. Hill's joint resolution authorizing the secretary of war to institute proceed ings in condemnation' to secure pos session of portions of the battlefield of Gettysburg was adopted. Then he called up his resolution directing the special committee investigating the charges of bribery, senatorial specula tion and the influence of the sugar trust in the framing of the sugar schedule to throw open its doors while the testimony was being taken, and ar gued that the terms of the resolution neither authorized nor refused au thority for secret sessions. He held that in fairness to the witnesses and others the committee sessions should be open. Nine-tenths of all the in vestigations in the last twenty years by senate committee had been open. Mr. Gray, chairman of the commit tee, spoke in favor of secret sessions and then the matter went over until Monday, giving place to the tariff bill. Mr. Aldrich made a short and vig orous talk on the sugar schedule and spoke in favor of bounties. Mr. Caf fery of Louisiana followed and de fended the protective duty as against the bounty system. He drew a run ning fire from Messrs. Aldrich and Allison. He said public opinion wag against bounties. His Liberty Brief.
