State Teachcrs'H AMHoclatlon aicetlnjr- The state teachers' meeting in Lin coln , was largely attended , over one thousand delegates being present. The question of holding an educatlonul congress at Omaha next year brought forth unanimous endorsement of the following resolution : Resolved , That we , the teachers as- cembled in our annual state associa tion , do hereby express our approval of the plan to hold such a meeting in Omaha during the time mentioned above , provided that such a meeting Is arranged upon dates w-ach will not in anyway conflict or interfere with the meeting of the National Educa tional association , to be held in Washington , D. c , July . to 32 , 3893 ; and we pledge ourselves to co-operate in any way practicable for advancing the enterprise , the organizing and the success of the meeting as described above. Judge M. B. Rcsse , dean of the Col lege of Law cf the University of Ne braska , was introduced and spoke on "Right EmpLnsis of Education. " Mrs. Medcra D. nickoll , of Beatrice , spoke on the "Relation of the Wo men's christian Temperance Union to Education. " She said the letters "W. C. T. U. " when rightly interpreted , mean "Home. " v/hich completely an swers the question. Every child is en titled not only to be born right , butte to have a good hpme as well. Al though the "world owes no man a liv ing , " parents do owe a home and thoughtful care to every child brought into the world. E. N. Brown , cf Hastings , chairman of the executive committee , read his report , 'a he asociation now has about $1,400 bearing interest. The total ex penses of this session will not exceed $700 , in spite of the many good enter tainments furnished for the teachers. Chancellor George E. MacLean , de livered an address on "The Next Stage in the Educational Development of Nebraska , " which had many features of interest to his auditors. After paying a glowing tribute to Nebraska in its wonderful develop ment in an educational sense during the last decade , its bright futura along the same lines , he discussed at length various methods and principles which should be observed in the further ex tension of the school system. Ne braska , he maintains , stand preeminent inent among the states for the intro duction of progressive methods. Among these stands out in relief the formation cf the Nebraska Library as sociation , the Association of the Ne- bsaka Teachers of History and the Nebraska Society for Child Study. Al though these associations accomplish much toward the simplifying of meth ods , so that those who receive instruc tion may easily understand the sub jects placed before them , he advocates still further advances in the art of teaching. These may be briefly summarized under the head of the practical , which in its natura * subdivisions results In industrial education , applied educa tion , industrial rflucation. prepara tion for citizenshin and the democ racy and the public school. Hereto fore the speaker contended the west ern school systems were claimed above all things to be "practical. " He argues , however , that in a sense this statement was not true. What the uni versity gives in the way of a higher education should in a like manner in substance be imparted by the lower schools. The country .and graded school system will not be perfect un til more stress is laid upon the prac tical studies. General culture studies should be taken along with the ethers , which forms the basis of the public school course. The university system should bo gradually extended into the graded schools so that upon gradua tion from them the pupil will not be completed at sea upon assuming the higher duties of his mind develop ment. ChanceFor MacLein asserted that the academic snd university courses should be thoroughly merged , and the sooner this is done the sooner the best of results will follow. The Game rair Defective. The game law passed by the last legislature has been found defective. Attorney General Smythe is of the opinion that a part of section 7 of the act is inoperative. This section makes it unlawful for railroad or express companies to transport game within or out of the state , but the penalty ap plies only to transportation of game out of the state. The error was caus ed by the bungling insertion of an amendment. As the section now reads it provides a penalty in the form of a fine of " $25 for each of such animals so transported , conveyed , carried or taken , or received for transportation or conveyance , carriage or taking , out of this state at any time of year , and shall on conviction be fined $5 for each of such birds so transported , con veyed , carried on taken , or received for transportation , conveyancs , car riage or taking out of the state , at any time of the year. This matter is now receiving the attention of the at torney general. It is believed that the penalty applies only to transportation of animals and birds sent out of the state. The railroads and express com panies are expected to be benefitted by this mistake of lawmakers. Captain Carson. Ciptain John L. Carson , president cf the First National bank of Lincoln , rnd one of the early settlers of Brownville , died a few . days ago. Captain Carson had been a great suf- ierei from rheumatism for some timp and for two or three weeks had been confined to his room by a complica- tier of troubles , whicn wer3 aggra vated bv the rheumatic tendency. He was widely known in banking and business circles of the west | and nmong the early settlers of th9 south- cast'part of the state. jjiMii.im , .jj ajamumu- ajjmi gfam.lja , THE BEAUTY CONTEST. IVomcnof XcbraBlcn , Send In Your.X'hoto- KrapIiH. As was stated some time a jo , says the World-Herald , the exposition is to have a souvenir medal. One side is to have the figure of an Indian speaking to a buffalo , and on the ether a relief face made up of a composite of the prettiest women in the TraiiRinissis- sippi states and territories. Two se lections will be made from each , and the vice-president from each state or territory is to make the choice. This duty in Nebraska falls on .Ttidg ? Ne ville , of North Platte , who is vice- president and chairman of the Ne braska state commission. He has boldly undertaken it , as the following letter to Secretary Deerlng , of the commission , will show : "Please insert in the newspapers a request to the ladies of the state who desire to compete for the honor of be ing represented on the souvenir medal for the exposition , as one of the two most beautiful women in the state , that they send within the next twelve clays to me at North Platte , a cabi net size photo , showing profile view of head and shoulders. "Photographs not used for the com posite photograph will be returned if requested. Two wih be sent to Npw York City from this state , where the souvenir will be prepared in gold , sil ver and bronze , aluminum , etc. pho tographs not returned by request will , if consent is given , be beautifully and artistically framed and exhibited in the Nebraska state building so that the public can judge for Itself whether the best selection was made , and at the same time get an idea cf the great number of beautiful women whom our state contains. Urge upon each c 'ty and county the importance of enter ing the contest. " "KolIIns : the Koll. " A mechanical genius has applied to- the department of concessions of the Transmississippi Exposition for the privilege of installing and operating a wonderful contrivance which lie calls "rolling the roll. " Vie proposes to construct a track on the order of a switchback , about seventy-five feet in length , and for cars he has immense tubs , seven feet in diameter , with seats inside. The passengers who desire to take the thrilling voyage are strap ped in these seats and the tub starts on its trip. Tubs and passengers are rolled over and over with lighning speed , the track being built on a sharp incline. At the end opposite the starting point the tub strikes on heavy springs which start ? 'f off in the op posite direction down another in cline. When the end cf the journey is reached the tub is directly beneath the starting point and the passengers are lifted out and the tub raised to the higher platform , where it is ready for another load. The promoter of this extraordinary contrivance says he has operated it in several places in the cast , where it met with great favor. He says the motion is rather unusual , but is not disagreeable after a trial or two. Klooriliounds Detect Thieves. Lincoln dispatch : Short work was made in capturing -wo of the three men who held up and robbed Dr. Hitchcock , the East Lincoln street Iruggist , last night. The Beatrice bloodhounds were sent for , and when put upon the trail went direct to the Fedawa residence in the east part , of ; he city , where Jay Fedawa and a man ; ivinfr his name as J. W. Rice , was captured and taken to jail. The third nan has not been located. The gen eral belief is that ae right parties lave been captured , as young Fedawa las the reputation of being a hard cit- zen , and has been before the poMce : ourt a dozen times already. Rice s a stranger in the city. The quick : apture of the men has established the jfficiency of the dogs for tracking ; hieves , and will no doubt have the jffect of frightening the other thieves vho have been plying . -cir trade so ' reely this winter. Grotviner Each Tear. The largest enrollment in the his- ; ory of the state normal school v/ns : hat of the term iust ended. In thc- lormal proper the enrollment was 40o , md that of the entire school G32. Al- liough the term just at an end has he largest enrollment In the school's listcry , there is every indium/ion that lie coming term will witness pn en- • ollment still larger. It is gratifying : o the people of Nebraska to know hat the school which trains reacbers o instruct her young is under so able i board of trustees and has at its head is eminent and nopular an educator is Dr. Beattie and is gaining a widen- ng recognition. How Its Finances Stand. C. R.

The auditing committee reported the lecount correct in every particular md commended the systematic work > f Treasurer Atkinson. The Ponca Journal believes Dixon ounty has no corn to ship to outside narkets this year. The great num- ier of cattle being fed in that county his year are sufficient to consume the intire crop. Swapping : Jobs. Linceln dispatch : Tnere have been everal changes among the clerks in he state auditor's office since the new -ear. W. B.

SOME GOUR TO GO WITH THE SWEET. Moro Than Patriotism Is Uecoissary Ex- poiucH of the State Horticultural Hoard Muni Ko Tald Out of 1'octcutH or aiom- bcrg , "Who Get Neither Salary 2 or Sym pathy. Mavo Troubles of Their Own. The officers of the State Horticultur al society have troubles of their own. The state appropriation for the so ciety is $1,000 a year , the pro3ion of the statute being that this amount shall be used for the payment of premiums. This leaves the officers without any salary and under the present system the treasurer must ad vance the money from his own pocket for the payment of the premiums be fore he can draw the appropriation , ns the state auditor is empowered to draw warrants only upon the presen tation of the vouchers showing that the money had been paid out for premiums. Besides this , the board is required to make a report to the gov ernor and also to compile annually the report of the work of the so ciety during the year , the specification being that the book shall contain not nn > re than 300 paeres and shall bo bound in cloth. Heretofore the ro- ciety has succeeded in getting from the State Board of Agriculture every year a sum sufficient to pay for the ex penses. But as there is no prospect of the agricultural board paying cho money for the coming year the mem bers of the horticultural department see ahead of them the prospect of v.ai only serving without pay , but also of paying all the expenses and enjoying the privilege of compiling and proof reading a cloth bound book of "not more than 300 pages nor more than 5,000 copies , " after all the state ap propriation has been paid out for premiums. At the meeting of the hoard , which occurs in a few days , it is expected that the discussion of the situation will be anything but a cheer ful one. BUSINESS O THE BANKS. The secretary of the State Banking board has completed a comparative statement of the condition of the state and private banks for November 30 , 1S97 , and December 31 , 1S96. The showing for the last quarter of this year is a remarkably good one , as compared with the same period of last year. The increase in loans and dis counts is $802,565.67 , while the increase in the amount due from other banks is 1,777,579.35. The cash on hand is $178,383.95 mere than last year. The items of cash on hand ana cash and sight exchange foot upto $5,334C73 , or 39 per cent of the total deposits. During the year the increase in deposits amounts to $3,675,402.43. The items of bills payable and "other liabilities" have decreased in size by 8252,177.18. The capital stock is $378,336.82 less than it was a year ago. The number of the banks is 393 as compared with 414 in December , 1896. This statement does not include any of the business done by the national banks of the state. And while the in crease in deposits and in loans is shown to be large , no consideration is taken of the large amounts of money expended or invested by the citizens of the state that would have no part in the showing of either class of banks. For instance , during : ho year individuals have purchased gen eral fund state warrants over $700,000 , most of the money being withdrawn from the individual deposits in thj banks. In spite of the large amouac of money that must have been invejted in stock during the last three month. ; , there has been an increase in deposits of $600,000 over the showing of Sep tember 8 , 1897. The State's Chief Justices. With the retirement of Chief Jus tice A. M. Post from the position of head of the supreme court bench , Judge T. O. C. Harrison becomes the tenth chief justice of the court since the admission of the state. Two of these ten men who have been chief justices have served two terms. These were Judge George B. Lake and Judg/j A.masa Cobb. Judge Samuel Maxwell has the record of three terms cf chief justice , while William A. Little , Oliver P. Mason , Daniel Gannt. M. B. Ree-e. T. L. Norval , and A. M. Post , each served one term or part of one term. Two of these chief justices died dur ing their term. These were William Little and Daniel Gannt. These two and Judge Mason are the only chief justices who have died. All the oth ers are still actively engaged in busi ness , several of them were mature men and on the bench a third of a century ago. In Intercut of Packing Honors. Washington dispatch : Congress man Mercer called at the war depart ment today in the interest cf the packing houses of S"uth Omaha , re questing that they be furnished with notices of the war department invit ing proposals for supplies for the gov ernment relief expedition to Alaska. Two thousand dollars has been appro priated for the purpose and as much 3f it will have to he spent in canned meats and products of the packing houses he asked that the department sxtend courtesies to South Omaha packers , in view of the fact that they ire nearer the country to he subsist- 2d that the packing houses of the e2st- tvard. Assistant Secretary Meiklp- john has taken great interest in the relief expedition to Alaska , the sick ness of the secretary of war making it essential he should meet all parties iccredited from foreign governments looking to the relief of suffering min- : rs in that country.
