Murdock's First Graduation.
Incident to the closing of the Mur
dock schools, a compilation of some
facts pertaining to school statistics,
show Murdock is the only school
where the population is under 8.600
that published a school paper during
the past year. While the Murdock
school has been running for thirty
years, this is the first graduation of
a class. While this district has not
adequate school building and not
facilities for properly caring for the
large number of pupils, it is shown
also that the territory comprising
this district stands third in valua
tion. Take Long Hike
As an innovation of university
students, six school girls last week
took a long hike from Lincoln to
Murdock and return. The distance
is SO miles each way, making 60 in
all, but by accepting lifts along the
way from passing motorists, the ac
tual distance was cut down to the ;
one way distance of 20 miles. The!
young .ladies had an excellent time!
and spent the week end as guests atj
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tool, i
parents of Miss Margaret Tool, who
was one of the party. The half dozen
young ladies making the trip were
Misses Nannie Roberts. Irene Man
quist, Lois Shephard, Marie Snave
ley. Anne Hines and Margaret Tool
and all enjoyed the experience very
much as well as the pleasant hospi
tality of the Tool home.

Oehlerking, sister of the bride, and
Bernice Renwanz, a sister of the .
groom. The best men were Charles'.

In all there were some two hun-
dred and fifty in attendance, and all
were in a most pleasant humor, ex
tending best wishes and congratula
tions .for a long, happy and useful
life for the newly married couple.
Following the ceremony which join
ed their lives, there was a wedding
dinner at which the quarter of a
thousand banqueted and had a most

Mr. Henry Oehlerkinp and a gradu

BUSWABJMMI- !
NEHT SAYS KEBR, i
CITY PRES
Ilailroad Official Quoted as Sayin;
Gasoline Motors will Replace
Branch Line Trains. .
Real competition is to come to Ne
braska bus line ovners, if rumors are
true. Railroads which operate lines
into Omaha and Lincoln are to in
stall gasoline motors, such as the i
Union Pacific is already operating,
according to tbe latest and seeming
ly reliable information. i
These motors, run on two track?,
the same as a steam passenger unit,
will carry about sixty passengers
and, it is added, the fare will be re
duced to siich an extent that ordi
nary automobile bus owners will not
be able to compete. '
"We must find some way to meet
thi3 competition which is hurting
our branch line business," a railroad
passenger agent said a few days ago,
"and we think we have found the
solution. Motor cars such as run
with success by many western roads
will deliver passengers quickly and
safely in all kinds of weather. They
will carry baggage and express and
will be able to operate cheaply and
economically. One man can operate
if necessary. Branch lines will even
tually have them and if mail can be
carried the steam branch lines will
become j. thing of the past.
"Railroads are paying a heavy
road tax in all counties in Nebras
ka. They are actually making it
possible for automobile stage lines
to operate. They are helping their
biggest competitors in a very sub
stantial way, as it were. We must
be regulated and controlled by state
laws. The bus line is not controlled
and in case of accident the liability
of the owner is limited and frequent- j
ly a bar to collection of damages."
WILSON SENDS HIS GEEETINGS
Seattle, June 1. The committee
named by the recent democratic state
convention to felicitate former Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson upon his im
proved physical condition and to ex
press to him the" loyalty of the state
party organization, today received
this reply:
"This message from the democrats
of Washington has given me deep
pleasure and encouragement. I am
proud to be associated with such men
and women in pushin gforward for
,the realization of ideals which alone
can lift the world out of its present
difficulties and despair. PLease con
vey my .complete confidence in the
future .of the great party to which
wo so gladly ' .acknowledge alle
giance. , WOODROW WILSON."

WILL INVEST RE
LIEF FUND IN BONDS
AT AN EARLY DATE
State Treasurer Cropsey Denies Be
fusing to Furnish Money to
Educational Board.
The state board of educational
lands and funds, as trustee of the
$2,000,000 appropriated by the last
legislature for a relief fund for
World war veterans met Thursday in
Governor McKelvie's office behind
closed doors. This board comprises
Governor McKelvie, Secretary of
State Amsberry, Treasurer D. B.
Cropsey, Attorney General Davis and
Land Commissioner Dan Swanson.
After the meeting adjourned the
announcement was made that an
other meeting would be heid June
12 on which date the noard proposes
to invest all the available funds for
the relief fund. It was stated that
$462,032 is the total collected from
taxation which is to go toward mak
ing up a total of $2,000,000. The in
terest on the appropriated funds is
to be used for an emergency relief
fund for war veterans of Nebraska.
Of the $452,032 collected from taxa
tion $173,000 has been invested by
the board in bonds. The balance
available $289,032 is to be invested
as soon as the board finds suitable
bonds or securities. By the time the
board meets another month's tax
collections will have been received
by the state treasurer.
Owing to the scarcity of money
and the large expense of the state
government State Treasurer Cropsey
desired the board to postpone its pur
chase meeting date until July, but
the board declined to postpone it be
yond June
Treasurer Cropsey denies reports
that he has refused to honor orders
of the board, if the board should is
sue oue. for the investment of the
tax funds available. He says he is not
to blame for the small investment
thus far made by the board, and al
leges that the board has no bonds
ready for purchase, that it has not
offered any bonds to him and when
it does he will find the cash to buy
them, up to the total collected.
Treasurer Cropsey does not deny
that there is no money in the gen
eral fund or that there is an over
draft in that fund of nearly $200,
000. While the general fund is over
drawn, it is from this fund that the
relief fund for World war veterans
is to come. About 10 per cent of the
general fund tax collections is sup
posed to be set aside for the $2,000.
000 relief fund created hy the last
legislature. If the treasurer pays out
the general fund for general expens
es of the state he must use any idle
funds on hand to pay for bonds which
the state board shall buy for the re
lief fund. The treasurer indicates
that he will have the money on hand
when the board is ready to buy
bonds, and that he has always been
ready to .do this. '
The board will meet Friday fore
noon at Land Commissioner Swan
son's offire to confer with the Amer
ican Legion committee which has
been selected to dispense the relief
fund "3 offered by the legislature.
SEARCHING FOR
A .CANDIDATE FOR
governorship;
Attorney A. L. Tidd of This City is
Mentioned as Candidate for
Attorney General.
Alter discussing the pros and con3
and a number of candidates for gov- .
ernor and other places on the pro-!
gressive ticket, the committee ap
pointed by the railroad conference
recently held at Grand Island decided
to institute a search for a guberna
torial candidate. j
This is the one stumbling block in
the way of getting .quick .action. If
Norton is to be beaten for the pro
gressive nomination the candidate
must be a man fairly well known in
the state, especially among the far-.
iners. j
For that reason it was finally de
cided to send a committee to Custer
ccunty to interview J. D. Ream, for
mer head of the nonpartisan league
and also in charge of the grange af-.
fairs when that farm organization .
flourished and also W. J. Taylor, j
who first raised the standard of re- i
volt against the progressive machine 1
but who had previously declined to,
run. I
Mr. Taylor was in Lincoln lor a'
little while for the conference, and
had left fr home before it was de
cided to ask him to run for gover
nor. He stopped at :Yojk, ,and it is
understood was no more successful
than others to get Wray to run for
governor.
The committee, consisting of Mc
Donald, Tcmplin and Bigelow, has
already started for Custer county.
Once the head of the anti-state
ticket i3 elected, the others will be f
easy to get. For attorney. general, A. '
L. Tidd of Plattsmouth is wanted. A
tentative promise from H. L. Swan
son of Cheyenne county to run for ,
railway commissioner has been made. '
