Of the Sons of Veterans, received news last night to the effect that the next division encampment would be held in this city in Jnne next. It will be the first field encampment of the Sons of Veteran's ever held in the state and will be composed of 400 delegates, chosen from the 112 camps which make up the state membership. The boys here are already looking forward to a nice time with their guests from all oyer the state ut their great June meeting. School Board Meeting. The school board will meet tonight for the transaction of the regular grist of routine business. A full attendance is expected. . The Farmer's Allionce Convention. Over a thousand delegates were in session in Lincoln 3-esterday transacting business incident to the regular yearly session of the Nebraska State Alliance. Each Alliance is entitled to one delegate and the sessions are being held in secret. The meeting was being presided over by J. II. Powers. Seven thousand dollars was shown to be in the hands of the treasurer and a resolution was offered to appropriate $5,000 of it for the destitute farmers in the western part of the state. Senator Van Wyck warmly espoused the passage of the resolution which seemed destined to carry, when Burrows slipped up and whispered to the chairman who instead of putting the question before the meeting he referred it to a committee on resolutions. Burrows seems deter mined to oust every man of brains in the organization who shows any signs of leadership. The date of Burrows down fall as dictator does not seem very far off, judging from the opinions one hears expressed informally among the members. A "boss" was one of the things the farm era were trying to escape from when they organized their alliance, so that the posi tion of Boss Burrows is not a satisfactory one. The new officers are likely to be Hull, of Lancaster for president, Thomp son yf Lancaster for secretary; executiv, committee: Allen Root, of Douglaee Moss, of Saunders, Devine, of Colfax and Wolf, of Lancaster, The conven tion is still in session today. Patterson Marphy & Co., through their agent, J. L.
