THE VACANCIES FILLED
Annual Jane Meeting of the State Nor
mal School Board,
SOME CHANGES IN THE EAClltV.
A ( hang* Derided Upon In l he Matter of
Training School—Kindergarten Work
to Be Instituted—Crop Condition* and
Other State Interest*.
” Change* In the State Normal.
Peru dispatch: At the annual
June meeting of the State Normal
board three vacancies in the faculty
were filled. Miss Sanders of Holdrege
was made Instructor of music, Harry
Benedict of Lincoln was elected to
take charge of Prof. Duncauson’s
work for the coming year, while Prof.
Duncunson goes abroad on leave or
absence for study at the University
of Leipslc. Miss Dally of University
Place was elected to the chair of elo
cution and oratory. Prof. M. R. Ely,
who has had charge of this depart
ment ever since Its beginning, and
who has worked It up to its present
high standard, gives up the profession
of teaching and will attend the com
ing two or three years a school of os
teopathy. Prof. Ely has contemplated
this line of work for some time and,
accordingly, sent in his resignation to
the board ?arly in the spring.
It was decided by the board to
change the plan of the training school.
During the last year there were
200 to 300 pupils belonging to the
school district who attended the Nor
mal Training school. In the future
the number will be limited to ninety,
thus saving much trouble and expense.
The plan Is given In this resolution,
which was adopted by the board:
Resolved, That beginning the open
ing of the term in September, 1899,
the training department consist of a
kindergarten and eight grades, with
not to exceed ten children In each
grade, and that these classes be taught
under the direction of the critic teach
ers and In the presence of the various
training classes, under surh conditions
as may be of most benefit to said
training classes, and that the chil
dren to be taught In these grades
shall be selected by the critic teachers,
subject to approval by the principal..
The Crop Condition!.
The last week, says the crop report,
has been cool, with heavy local show
ers In eastern counties and only very
light showers in the western. The
average daily temperature has va
ried from about normal in the extreme
eastern portion of the state to 2 be
low normal in the western part. Light
frost occurred in northwestern coun
ties on the 6th and 8th.
In most of the eastern third of the
state the rainfall of the week exceed
'd half an inch the rain falling in
showers mostly on the 6th and 7th.
In a few localities it ranged from two
to Blightly more than three inches. In
the western counties the rainfall was
generally less than a quarter of an
Inch.
The last week has been a most fa
vorable one for the growth of crops
In the eastern half of the state. In
most of the western half more rain
would be beneficial and in the south
western counties small grain has been
Injured by the dry weather. In the
northeastern counties small grain is
In excellent condition anl has grown
well.
corn has grown well in all parts of
the state. The dry weather in the
western part of the state has not af
fected it unfavorably. Cultivation of
corn has made rapid progress in cen
tral and western counties, and the
crop is there free of weeds. In the
region of heavy rainfall cultivation
has been delayed somewhat, and some
fields are becoming weedy. Corn is
somewhat backward in northeastern
counties, but taken as a whole it is in
better condition than usual at this
time of year.
Alfalfa is being rut, and the crop is
generally light. Cherries and straw
berries are ripe in south counties.

The Oorfrnnr'i Mansion.
The state board of public lands and
buildings Is still figuring on the pur
chase of a mansion for Governor
Poynter, says the Lincoln Journal. At
the state house It la believed that the
board will select either the reeldence
of George Jxtwrey on South Seven
teenth street or the Lome of ft. ft.
Thompson on H street acroes the
street from the capltol grounds. It is
claimed that the board desires to en
large the library of Mr. Lowrey’a
house if the building Is bought, and
that this change can be made without
much trouble. The board held a brief
meeting yesterday afternoon, but the
members denied that they had closed
the deal. The board has never di
vulged the bids and no one knows
what prices are asked by those who
have offered houses. Mr. Buckstaff
who worked for the passage of a bill
authorizing the state board to buy his
house was reported to hare the inside
track up to the other day, when re
ports turned In another direction.
The board was also authorized by
the legislature to buy the building
used for a soldiers’ and sailors' home
at Milford and $13,500 was appropri
ated for that purpose. Htate Treas
urer Meserve was reported to be op
posed to the purchase, but he said
yesterday that he was In favor of buy
ing the building and grounds as soon
as the board could find out what the
property was worth.

In order to be in position to give
to the anxious friends and relatives
of the members of the First Nebraska
the earnest Information as to the sail
ing of the transport from Manila, s*/e
a Lincoln dispatch, Adjutant General
Barry yesterday sent a request to Ad
jutant General Corbin at Washington
that word lie wired as soon as the
date of sailing was known at the war
department. Today the adjutant gen
eral of the army answers this by say
ing that the Information would be
wired promptly upon its receipt by
him. It was said that news of the
sailing of the regiment for home was
expected soon.
The plan for the reception to the
returning boys of the regiment here
is being made on the theory that when
mustered out they will want to go to
their homes first, and the reception
will be held some time afterward. It
has been suggested that the time of
the meeting of the Grand Army of the
Republic reunion might be opportune.
The plan Is to have the returned mem
bers of the Second and Third assemble
and take part In the welcome homo.

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM WRONG.
Senatorial Committee Hear* Complaint*
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 19.—At the close of
today's session of the senatorial In
vestigating committee. Senator Bax
ted stated that the senators had con
cluded to continue the investigation
another week.
The Chicago assessment system was
under consideration all day, and al
though a great deal of evidence was
heard nothing developed with the ex
ception of a revival of the long stand
ing controversy between Robert C.
Oivins, president of the taxpayers' as
sociation, and the city officials regard
ing the cost of cement and paving ma
terial generally.
Mr. Givins’ chief complaint was that
city officials were evidently in collu
sion with “promoters,” who, ho inti
mated. were working In the interest
of cement companies and contractors.
“Property has been assessed in this
town at from 60 to 75 per cent of its
actual cash value,” declared Mr. Giv
ins. "Those special assessments have
placed real estate on such a basis in
some parts of the city that you can
not give it away, and have damaged
Chicago property to the extent of
$100,000,000, within the last six
months.

COMBINES ARE A MENACE.
Tli« Indus .rial ComiBliilon Oitl resil
monj on Truili.
WASHINGTON, June 19.—During
the afternoon, the industrial commit
tee heard a statement from P. B. Dowe
of New York, president sf the com
mercial travelers' league. Mr. Dowe
said the opinion of ihe commercial
men at large was that the trufts were
a menace to the oonimuuTty- He esti
mated the number of traveling sales
men in the United States at 3&0,<XW,
Baying that the census figure# of 60,000
were grossly incorrect. The formation
of trusts and combinations was throw
ing a large number of these men out of
employment. Mr. Dowe said that the
trust combination had raised the prices
of the commodities they were con
trolling from 6 to 100 per cent in al
most every Instance, except coffee and
sugar. In these they were still fight
ing for control of the field. He said
his figures in this line were absolutely
correct, being from reliable eommer
citl acquaintances. The examples he
gave were; Iron pipe, over 100 per
cent; tinware and enameled ware,
about 33 per rent; brass goods, 60 per
cent; chair trust, just formed, will ad
vance prices 30 per cent; rubber over
shoes (United States Rubber company)
advanced prices 14 per cent on May 1;
American Tin Plate company advanc
ed prices something like 30 per cent;
newspaper quarter to half a cent a
pound, a further advance in prospect;
book papers 6 and 10 per cent; an ad
vance Is expocted In wrltlg paper; in
common soap 26 cents to 60 cents a
box; flint glass bottles will be ad
vanced 10 per rent or more; jobbers
and manufacturers of clocks have ad
vanced the wholesale prices on account
of the advance Of metal# 60 per cent;
all metal goods have been advanced;
E brass pins 26 per cent; pipes and
bushes 124 per cent; combs. 74 per
cent; ribbons, 10 per cent; school fur
niture has gone up as well as pnper
baks and wrapping paper,
“The umbrella trust failed four years
ago,’ ’said the witness, but it advanc
ed prices while in existence and after
its break up the return to legitimate
and healthy prices cuused a loss to the
retailer through the stock on hand.”
This witness concluded by saying
that before leaving New York he had
been warned by an acquaintance, a
lawyer, indirectly connected with some
of the trusts, that he was doing a
dangerous thing in speaking before
the commission, as he was liable to “be
crushed like a caterpillar.”
The commission will hear tomorrow
M. L. Lockwood of Pennsylvania, the
last of the trust witnesses, and next
week will take up the investigation or
agricultural interests.
BROKERS MIST PAY THE TAX.
Tntutuctlon* In llurket Shop* Mint Con
tribute Their Part.
WASHINGTON, June 19.—Commis
sioner Wilson of the Internal revenue
bureau has rendered a decision which
has been pending for a long time re
garding the liability of bucket shop
transactions, to the stamp act. The
decision says:
Dy a bucket shop is meant a place
other than a hoard of trade or ex
change where the parties who agree
to buy and sell stocks do not ordinar
ily contemplate the receiving or de
livering of the certificates therefore by
tne buyer or seller either at the time
or in the future. Such transactions in
stocks are taxable.
In the case of every agreement to
sell at a bucket shop there is both a
presumptive buyer and a presump
tive seller and this is true whether the
customer agrees to sell the stock to
the manager of the place or the man
ager of the place agrees to sell stock
to the customer.
Where agreement of sale has been
made and no delivery of stock takes
place and the party holding the agree
ment of sale wishes to c.ose the trans
action by disposing of his interest in
said agreement, and settles with the
holder of the contract by paying the
deficiency price, in contemplation of
law there is an agreement to resell the
shares to the original seller. All these
transactions must be evidenced by a
written memorandum.
It makes no difference whether these
agreements to sell stocks made at
bucket shops are called ‘ selling privi
leges” or “purchase privileges” or
whether they are called by any other
name, such contracts are taxable the
same as stock transactions on the
stock exchange.
Kegarding the sale of grain and oth
er products of merchandise at bucket
shops, the commissioner, in view of
the recent decision of the United
States supreme court In regard to the
Hales of merchandise at a board of
trade, exchange or any similar place,
revokes the precious decision that a
bucket shop as ordinarily conducted
is a similar place to a board of trade
or exchange. It Is understood that
in the case of a bucket shop there la
commonly only one manager or firm
who control ul! the sales and purchas
es made nt that particular pluce, and
where this Is the rase yu tux accrues
on the tale • * grain or other inert han
dlse made thereat, except where a bro
ker's contract or memorandum of sale
Is Issued when It must lie stamped
with a lo rent stamp.
