Tho nbovo brief was handed to a No
braskan reporter yesterday by an en
terprising young freshman, who sum
moned up courage enough to bring
tho slip of paper down to tho editor
ial rooms. Ho loft orders for tho No
braskan man to "wrlto this out as you
seo t," and went on his way rojoic
ing.- Epperson is a six year law stu
dent, who is at this tlmo registered

Clay Center.
'The Candidates Out.
Two engineering students are now
in tho raco for tho first year, honors.
Three candidates camo, out, all In
ono day, after an extended political
drouth. Leonard Purdy of Beatrice,
and William Gilmoro of Nebraska City
aro tho two engineering men who
Jumped into tho flro yesterday. Tho
engineering students will bo split up
for the flrBt timo..Whlch man will re
ceive tho endorsement of tho first year
shop men? This seems .to be tho vi
tal question of the hour. Both men
aro said to be popular with tho class
men from their towns, but neither
candidate Has boasted of what ho ex
pects to do when tho counting day
dawns. - -
Purdy Some Athlete.
Leonard Purdy of Beatrice, Nob.,

the full number of years allotted to a
high school player. Ho is a strong
man' in athletics, being the star of the
froEhman team 'and tho hepo of the
9rst year men In their fight for the
class championship this, year. Purdy
1b tho promising man, who may be
seen any evening giving tho regulars
a big scaro out on tho Hold. Ills
friends claim that ho will mako a good
race.
Nebraska City Man Announced.
William P. Gilmoro of Nebraska
City, Is tho other man who camo
down in tho storm of presidential as
pirants yesterday. Gilmoro 1b nn ox
Pom man and a graduate of NobrftH
ka Cty hgh school. Ho was promnent
as a debater and athloto at Nebraska
City. Last season Gilmoro was chosdn
half-back on tho all-Nebraska foot
ball team, which tho NcbraBkan re
porter has beon informed wob careful
ly picked, B. M. Chorrington bolng
ono of tho committee. Gilmoro 1b an
engineering student. Ho entered tho
university at tho opening of this bo
mostor. Ho has a goodly following.
No Opposition.
Sears still lias his own way In tho
Bophoraoro class, but overy day now
rumors break forth regarding some
now possibility. Several men nro
known to bo considering entering tho
racoi but It is genorally bollovcd that
Sears will have tho whole-hearted sup
port of tho classmen,
ClaBs harmony will bo preserved at
all odds, because of tho nearness of
tho Olympics, tho annunl class scrap
with tho freshmen. Tho class of 1013
wero dofeated last year and are de
termined to work togother this year
with a hard fight in sight. No doflnito
plans, however, can bo laid until aftor
tho election, when a committee will
bo appointed to engineer tho cam
paign. Politics in tho Bophomoro class
aro almost at a standstill. Sears,
however, will undoubtedly bo tho
choice of the class, unless Bomo ex
ceptionally promising black chargor
should como In at a handicap on tho
homo stretch.
POLITICAL NOTICE.
The University Republican club
will meet Tuesday night at 8 o'clock
at the Republican County Central
Committee room in the Llndell hotel

THE GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT
WORKING ON THE PROILEM.
May Mean a Big "Boam" for State
of Nebraska Exaot Data Is
Not Available.
Tho University of NobraBka geo
logical department is at prosont per
forming somo very valuablo tests
upon Bhalo dopoBlts dlBcovorcd near
Pnlr-biiry, Nebraska. A d6tailcd Bum
mary of this Investigation will short

such n report rocolvos a warrantablo

During tho lattor part of last Au
gust, bituminous shales from GraneoB
formntlon, nenr Falrbury, t wero re
ported to Nebraska Unlvorslty au
thorities to bo gas producing. Ac
cordingly, Prof. N. A. Bongston, un

of tho geological department, visited
tho scono of probablo action for tho
oxcIubIvo purrqao of Btudying tho de

A Critical Test.
Slnco that date, thoso samplos havo
been undorgolng a critical tost Tho
first supposition that tho shales wero
gas producing was oaslly verified.
Tho second characteristic that tho
gas contained illuminating qualities
was llkowlso duly proved. Farther
than this, howevor, tho authorities
will only conjocturo. Upon tho ono
nil-Important fact that tho shalos may
bo capablo of producing a sufficient
quantity of gns to guarantoo it good
commercial possibilities, tho scien
tists In chargo of tho investigation
rofuso to commit thomBolvos.
Tho department Justifies their non
committal attitude by tho following
issued statement:
"Somo of tho shale samplos in
question yielded fairly good rosults,
but no oxact data Is availablo bo
cauBo of tho Insufficient numbor of
tests performed up to this tlmo. If

Tho doposits under discussion aro

Intorost and excitement Is provnlent
among Falrbury citizens pending tho

pubJ1iiftion of. exact data that these

their city. The stock In tho gas-to-be
In tho shale territory Is very fluctuat

reports havo been issued; oho to tho
effect that experiments showed a re
