'Contrary 'to 'tho6xpectatlons of all
thos6 jMlerCBtedAin the progress of
hoengljkerfog building, tho material
iirhlch wji mjake t tosBlblo to con
tinue $prk onho' structure has not yot
Arrived! j-jPh)'feBBof RlchardB has re
ceived word that the terra cotta which
lias caused the long delay was shipped
tlast Saljlrday. It has not yet arrived
Tnit is dxpoctod at any time.
Thoso in charge of the construction
work have no definite meanB of know
ing that this terra cotta will be the
proper color when it arrives. From
the fact that the company has shipped
the material without sending samples
it 1b taken for grantod that it muBt bo
nearly correct. . Samples of tho or
iginal shipment of terra cotta woro
rdceiyod by the unlvorBlty several
weeks ago and were so badly off col
or that IC was necessary to roburn
the whole quantity. This has been the
chief cause of thfc delay for the past
few weeks.
Other Contracts Let.
The contracts for the plumbing and
heating have Jbeen let during the last
few days. The" Phillips Plumbing &
Heating company of Lincoln, have re
ceived the contract for heating the
building, their bid being $4,807. L. W.
Pomereno haB boon given tho contract

for plumbing, his price being $2,717.
When tho bids wore opened it was
found that there was a very great vari
ation in tho prices shown by the differ
ent bids. This, however, is a very
common condition of affairs in taking
' bids on such work. Both of tho'above
contractors have made very good rec
ords and are considered fully compet
ent In their: respective linos.
If the material "which is, now tho
cause of tho delay arrives within tho
next, few days the contractors will at
once put a largo force of men at work.
In case the weather remains moderate
during tho lloxt .month It will bo pos
sible to practically complete the ma
sonry work before cold weather. It(
is a vory common experience for con-
tractors to be able to work until the
first of the year and If this is possible
this year the present delay will not
cause aserlous results. On the other
. hand If It should not bo possible to
complete tho brick' work before next
spring it maylre Impossible to haye
the building ready by the' specified
'.time, . ' .'
Some Bids Not In, - '
"rTho contracts for rodt covering and
or ventilating machinery and wiring
have not been let These will bo let
when the building Mb enclosed.
At
DELAV
the present time all the iron work of
tho first floor has booii put In placo
and nearly all the masonry work that
it is possible to complete before the
arrival of the terra cotta. has been
done.
The total coBt of tho building when
completed will bo- well within tho or-
iglnal estimate of 1100.000. The ad-
1 ditional flxturos will cost in the neigh-
borhood of $15,000.
BLEACHING ELEPHANT BONE8.
Prof. Barbour Superintending Prepar
ation of Fossils.
The fossil elephants In the collection
of Charles H. Morrill on-exhibition in
tho university museum have been re
cently augmented by tho ttkolotons of
young, middle-aged and adult mod
ern clepnants. These )n addition to the
fossils of mastodon and mammoth,
young and adult, make a very inter
esting and complete assortment.
The oil from the bones of tho mod
ern skeletons is being subtracted by
the U8G of naphtha and the boneB are
being bleached. When thlB process is
complete tHe bones will be exhibited
side by side with those of the ancient
fossils. The use of naphtha is at
tended with such danger on account
of the volatile qualities pf the liquid
that tho process is being undertaken
in a metal can placed out of doors to
the north of the museum. t This ap
paratus and Its iron fence have at
tracted considerable attention from
university students.

SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
DR. L. P. HALL DISCUSSES BANK

IS NOT A POLITICAL QUESTION
Declares That Government Guarantee
' of Bank Deposits Will Make
the Banks of This State
Impregnable.
Dr. P. L. Hall, vice-chairman of ite
democratic national committee anal
A promlnont banker of Lincoln, ad?
drossod tho unlvorslty Bryan and Kern
club last ovonlng on tho question of
govornmont guarantoo of bank depos
its. Mr. Hall thoroughly bolleves.ln
tho democratic position on the baaH
guarantee, but ho bollovos in it not
a politician, uut as a nankor wno is
oagor to prcsorvo tho safoty of his
capital. He said In substance:
"I regrot vory much that the ques
tion of govornmont guarantoe of bank
deposits has boon drawn into politics,
lit Is solely a business questioning
should be sottlod by business men.,
"There is no doubt In my mind
that tho bank Insurance is Just as prac
tical and just as feasible as fire' In
suranco or llfo insurance. Some of the
greatest banking minds .in the United
States look upon bank insurance as
not only practical but desirable- Mr.
McCullough, ono of tho greatest .repub
lican secretaries pf. tho treasury since
the war, was in favor of' bank insur
ance Mr. Fowler, chairman of the fi

in favor of bank insurance.

and I, first of all, would""
not bo in favor of. anything radical

"Tho greatest objection urged
against government guarantee of bank
deposits is that it puts all banks on a

tho burden of the unsafe ones. Tke
reason that I am In' favor of bank guar
