NOT ACCORDING TO CONTRACT The Architect In Charge of the State Normal School at Kearney Refused to Accept the Buildings as Offered by the Contractor. Lincoln , Feb. 20. The state normal board In session at Kearney will not accept the new normal school at this meeting. Such Is the report brought to Lincoln , and the reason is that Architect Herllnghof has refused to o. k. the building. Some time ngo Mr. Horllnghof ordered the contractors to make certain changes In the structure and yesterday when the board called upon him to make his report the archi tect reported against the acceptance of the building until those changes arc made. Mr. Herllnghof stated that the stone work does not come up to the speci fications and this Is the most serious objections to the acceptance of the bidding. The concrete is all right , the mixture , Mr. Uerlinghof snld , being up to the requirements , but the modeling Is rough and is not what was con tracted for. This Is the fault of the stone makers , said the architect , and as they are under bonds , ho wants the board to hold those firms responsible rather than the contractors. The contractors have had hard sled ding In making this building come up to the specifications. After the walls had been constructed to a height of several feet , Mr. Herllnghof compelled ho contractor to tear them down because - cause the stone did not come up to ho specifications. This caused much lelay and also caused the contractors o lose money on the job. At this time there is duo the con rnctors the sum of $0,200 , nnd It is mderstood it will not bo paid until Mr. Herllnshof gives his npprovnl Neither Mr. Mortensen nor Mr. Me Brlen has returned to Lincoln.

Secretary , Box 401 , Madi son , Wls REV. J. F. ROUGHER DELIVERS EX CELLENT ADDRESS. HE SPOKE OF THEIR LOYALTY The Commercial Traveler , He Said , Endures Hardship nnd Privation Yet Is Cheerful and Energetic and a Lover of His Home. Yesterday wns commercial travelers' day at the Methodist Episcopal church In Norfolk and the pastor , Rev. J. P. I'onchor , delivered n most Impressive sermon to the drummers who Sunday- od here. The sermon was highly com plimented by all of the "boys" who nt tended. It wns n sermon particular ly for the U. T. C. Mr. I'oucher said In part : "I am gratified to have with us this morning so many of these knights of the grip. I esteem It a great honor nnd a high privilege to preach to them , but I confess a slight nervousness. When the youngster makes his Initial trip over his territory , with the bng- gage car full of trunks nnd n lot of excess - cess freight to pay , he feels his Im portance , but his conrngc oozes out of his linger tips when he tries to get n busy merchant down to his sample room. And when ho gets him there , he finds that his breath comes short nnd he hns a disagreeable lump In his throat when ho tries to talk business. So I feel my Importance this morning. I have got you down to my sample room , and now 1 have you here , I hard ly know what to say to yon. "There Is no more characteristic man In history , art or science than the commercial traveler. I have seen something of the life of these men. I have married n number of them nnd always got the generous fee and It has been my sad privilege to stand by their caskets and say a few words of appreciation for some. "The commercial traveler of today , compared with that of twenty years ago , makes ono think favorably of the doctrine of evolution. The profane , drunken , gambling , commercial travel er is the exception. The rule Is that the commercial traveler is a brlght.up- right , Intelligent moral man. Some of the best I know belong to the U. C. T. It Is dlfllcult for them to keep cheer ful and pleasant and follow their hard life. Almost always on the road , the Inconveniences of night trains , stop ping at all classes of hotels , from the cheap hash house where a frousy red headed girl with her arms akimbo like the publllst , sides up to yon and trumpets in your ear , asking If you want "Force,1 , to the Fifth avenue hotel , where you tip the negro waiter a quarter for every tea biscuit you get the sl/.o of a dime , drinking all kinds of water , eating all kinds of grub , exposed - posed to all kinds of weather and , worse than all , separated from home and loved ones , is surely a life that lias its dlsadvnntnges. "This love of home is one of the strong characteristics of the traveling man. They look forward to the end of the week or the end of n three- months' trip , when they shall cross the threshold of their own home , and bent their own fireside , with fond long ing. Amid nil their hardships nnd prlvntions and bitter temptations , they hear a love nnd loyalty to home nnd wife nnd children. "The influence for goort that these men might exert ns they ramify the country , from ocenn to ocenn. In every city , hamlet nnd town , is Incalculable If I were a politician or desired nny benetlt from the hands of the public , I would seek the favor of these men , for I believe them to bo more Influen tial than nnv other class of men in our republic. " ' This led up to a sermon on personal Intluonce CHANGE IN PLANS. Members of Christian Church Give- Over to Meeting of the Gideons. The members of the Christian chiircn will not hold services In the Hnptlst church next Sunday as an nounced owing to the meeting of the Gideons , to whom they gave prece dence. Rev. W. A.

AND MRS. L. A. MILLER. THEY DO NOT WANT THE CHILD At 9:30 : O'clock Last Night a Blue * Eyed Boy Was Left at the L. A. Miller Home , With a Note Asking That He be Given a Good Home. tl-'rom Tuesday's Dally. ] A baby boy , four mouths old , wns loft on the doorstep of the L. A. Miller home , South Fifth street , at 9:30 : o'clock last night. A note accompanied the child , asking that It bo given a good home , and some clothing. The child was left by an unknown person who came to the door , knocked light ly and then disappeared In the dark ness before anyone was able to answer the call. Mr. and Mrs. Miller , who have children of their own , will not keep the babe and are only now tak ing care of it for a day or two because they promised Jo Stuart , a Tllden far mer , that they would. Mr. Stuart hap pened to be In town this morning , heard of the foundling and , as Mrs. Stuart is interested In finding homes for babies , ho requested that the Mill ers keep the child for a few days , and ho will probably make an effort to find a home for the little fellow near Tllden. Mr. nnd Mrs. Miller had just return ed homo Inst night from a trip out , and had entered by way of the rear door , when there came a knocking at the front porch. Mrs. Miller hurried , to respond to the call nnd found , In stead of n person standing at the door , this little bundle of a boy lying f * ' on the step. A note , written on ordin ary writing paper , said simply , "Take It , give It a good home and buy It some clothing. " The note was unsigned. There is no clue whatever as to the person who left the child. None of the neighbors saw the strange visitor and no trace has been found today. The little fellow has blue eyes and light hnir. He Is good natured and does not cry much of the time. What disposition of the boy will be made can not as yet bo stated , since Mr and Mrs. Miller are merely holdIng - Ing for a day or two until some other home , where ho mny be wanted , Is found. On one corner of the note the baby's age wns given as , "four months old Februnry 21. ' Mr Miller is a conductor on the Northwestern railroad. 60 VEARS' EXPERIENCE TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &c.
