Tno weather was most propitious and
the excursionists good hunioicd. At 8 .to
the train Htoamed out on her Journei up the
Llkhuin. 'I he trip was uneventful unlit
Picmont was leached. Here , during a halt
of u lew minutes , young Mr. Balcombo and
otheis took a vote of the excursionists as to
their prefforcnoos for the location of the citv
hull. The balloting was spirited and re
sulted in a vote of 0 in favor of Farnain
Hlrtot and 2.ri In favoi of Jeflerbonsquaio.
The excursionists reached Norlolk at IB 15
and immediately took carriages piovidcd for
a diivo over the city This drive was ouo of
the interesting leatures of the programme ,
and disclosed to the delighted visitors a
beautifully laid out and substantially built
city with well graded stieets , one of them
Main street having no equal in the state.
It M a grand boulevard of ovct one mile in
length. The line of march took in the boun
tiful residence poition , ovei looking
the tnagiiitlcuut vallevs of the LMkhorn
river , affording a programme seldom
equalled. Many and favorable comments
woio hoard in reference to the beauty and
size of piivato and public buildings. Tlio
paitv repaired to the Pacific- and Tillcnbcrgh
hotels , vvhoioa royal spread awaited them.
Promptly ut 'J ! ! 0 the guests piled into the
dining rooms , and it is safe to say that no
buugi ler croud ever gatheied around a board.
The way they disposed of the elegantly
served lunch must have evinced the fact that
one fentuie of the piogrammo was appre

ture prosperity and growth of both cities
might oven surpass the past.
Tlio guests were now driven to the new
asylum for the Insane two miles cast.

man of the state board of chut Hies of Wis

He said that the institutions for the insnno
In his stain wcro Just as good as anv In the
world , and they would very soon have sep
arate asylums for the criinlmt Insane He
thought there was no need for the ofllco ol
superintendent in most of the insane asylums.
The doctors , ho said , could do as good work.
Secietary Wines asked Mr. Elmoro what ho
thought of public examination of insane pa-
tlrnts. He replied thai no law could be

College Course For Girls.
Baltimore News : This is the time of
year when ambitious yirls in different
parts of the country tire counting tno
costs ot a. college education. Fortu
nately for them , the scale of expendi
ture in the colleges open to women has
not risen high enough to make the
most economical damsel uncomfortable
among her richer classmates. Practi
cally , without exception , the standards
of dress in the pirls'college are simple ,
and 111010 than that , the plucky joung
woman who is working her way through
u foui * years' course on short commons
of ] ) ockot money is often elevated into
something very like n heroine.
At Vassal * college the smallest sum on
which a girl can pay her bills , ubicio
from scholarship aid , is about ? 450. Of
this amount $100 is for tuition and $ , ' ! { ) ( )
for board and washing. A genius in
thrift and Vassal * sees such a genius
now and then can buy her books and
stationery and supply herself with tlic
small incidentals dear to school girls for
the remaining S50. Car faro , if she
goes homo between terms , and the
larger items of dress are not included.
Necessary expenses nt Smith , Wellesley
and liryn Alawr do not vary greatly
from these figures. Five hundred dollars
lars would represent the average yearly
expenditure of no small proportion o"f
the girl students in eastern schools. Six
hundred dollars is u liberal allowance ,
and $700 moro than luxurious. The
largest sums spent hardly rise above the
minimum which the president of Har
vard doomed necessary for comfort and
peace of. mind at Cambridge.
Boston university , of the coeduca
tional hchools , has no dormitory system ,
anil girl htudonts from a distance exor
cise no Hinall ingenuity in housing and
feeding themselves without overween
ing board bills. Four dollars a week ,
when necessary , home of thorn find it
possible to live for , or $14S for thirty-
ioyon weeks in the city. Add $100 for
uition and $30 for books , ear furo , and
incidentals , nnd a year's schooling is
iirovidod at a cost of ftMM ) .
Some of the country colleges , while
jiving a substantial education , treat
, ho pocketbook with great leniency.
St. Lawrence university , in the north
ern part of Now YorlJ , for instance ,
.Minis young women as well as men for
$ -10 a year , and the towimpooplo take
them to their hearts and their best
guest chambers for fKl.GO u week. Edu
cation there still costs substantially
what it used to at the older schools in
the pioneer days.
To work ono'ri way through college
unaided is a hard task , but now and
then nccomplihhed by n sturdy girl.
A largo-cyou brunette , not sturdy , but
fragile-looking , graduated from Boston
university u few years ngo by Finding a
situation tin waitress in a restaurant ,
wearing the white apron ( luring the
rush bourn at the morning anil night ,
anil In vncation tlio day through. To
EIIVO it ) sometimes easier than to earn ,
anil I have in my mind ono group
of fourgirls. two from Boston university
and two at the Harvard annex , who engaged -
gaged two adjoining rooms in a rjiiiet
lioiiKo in Boston nnu boarded themselves
on an average of $11,70 per vvook.
Their rooms cost ? > , or $ l."ooach. They
took breakfast nt a small restaurant ,
whore oiilmoal and steak cost twenty
coutH , They ate an apple and a slice of
bread for lunch , nnu nt night they
pooled resources , spreading implcins on
the top of a trunk nnd feasting on bread
and milk or broad and n taste of canned
meats. Once u neighborsurroptitiouslv
inserted six glasses of jolly in the
bureau drawer which served us coin-
mlsary department , and then thov .lined
royally for days. The food cost them
oaeh thirty-live cents per day , and not
one of them suffered in health by the
experiment. Their oxpennes for cloth
ing wcro no greater in proportion. Ono
member of the quartette possessed a
single gown , a well-worn black eabh-
more. Being Invited to n professor's
reception one evening , she remained
away from a day's recitations while she
sat in n clonic and petticoat donning
mil pressing und freshening with ribbons

The btato Agricultuial college has Just
closed for the long vacation. According to
the arrangement of terms in this institution
thu longest vacation of the school Is tlnough
the winter. This is to enable students who
desire , to teach a term of school without in
terfering with their own studies. The board
of trustees have , for the first time in many
years , made no changes in the faculty , each
professor being io-clccted. Special appro
priations were made for the dillerent Indus
trial departments , and an ex tin allowance
was given to the musical department. The
tiustees think that it is of sufllcient import
ance in pieparing teachers for the public
schools that they have ordered free instruc
tion in vocal music and sight reading for the
freshman class hereafter. The school is In
a very prospeiouscondition , the state having
expended over . . ' 00,000 upon tlio grounds ,

vengeance if ho didn't sign the decision or
given decision of his own befoie election.
Ho claimed tlmt it was un attempt to intimi
date and bulldo/e him , and therefore he
would withhold his decision. Ho oven says
that he will neither sign nor dissent , but let
the decision of the other two stand w ithout
anv action on his part. He does not approve of
all fcatuies of the majoiity repot t , but

It requires Hie sanction of nt leant two-thirds
of the entire number of members of the
board before n Question can be submitted U >
the pcoulu to be voted upon when the uucs-
tion of money la In consideration ,
The board then went into n very iuegular
discussion on parlimentary rules nnd usages ,
the question as to the proper meanings
of consider and reconsider coming in for n
largo share of attention. Considerable dis
turbauce arose. Everybody talked at the
.same time without knowing what the olhor
was saving Members left their desks nnd
congregated In corners around the room.
Mr. Morrison now moved an adjournment.
This bi ought the members to their places.
No action was taken on the motion.
Mr. Motrisonjnext moved that consideration
of the action of the board respecting the ques
tion of submitting bonds for school purposes
bo indollnltely postponed. Mr Spnldlng
asked the president in what condition the
board stood In this mutter , The president
replied that on November M the board wont
Into committee of the vvlmlo and considered
the question of submitting a proposition to the
people to vote $100.000 for erecting new

to the board mid tlio latter adopted the re
port , at the same ttmo instructing the presi

to law. Last night the board voted to locon.
sider the foimer action of tbo board and
did so
"ton gentlemen must know the result , "
said the piesulunt sarcastically. "No action
was really taken lust night , and as at the
present meeting wo have only nine members
here , one less than a two thirds vote , we can
do nothing on the question to submit. Wo
therefore stand as wo did at the time of
adjournment on the lllth of November. "
After the president had instructed the
bonni as to how it stood , half a do/en mem
bers Jumped to their feet with motions , .some
to adjourn , bomo to imlolinitely postpone ,
and otheis of u veay ridiculous nature. None
of thorn weio ncted upon After quiet had
been restored Air Hitchcock presented a pe
tition trom the citi/ens ol the Fourth ward ,
living around the high school , saying they
protested airainst the construction of an ad
dition to the high school , and also against
the erection of another building on the
grounds , and asked that n new site be pur

addressed the boatd , saving there were quite
childien enough up around that neighbor
hood , und at times daily when the schools
vveio let out the place was anj thing but do-
sii able because of their presence. Ho also
said this appeared to be the sentiment of
everybody on the hill. They wcio quite
satisfied with the High school as it vtas , nnd
deprecated spaudipg any more money on it ,
because the citv was in want of money.
A motion to adjourn was again madebut the
president ruled it out of Older , saying he

In the hall of the Women's Christian Tem
perance union on Dodge stieet last night , for
the purpose of nominating candidates to Till
the coming vacancies in tbo city council.
Bofoie the names weio submitted to the
ladies and gentlemen present , Chairman
John Dale introduced Brother Critchlleld , of
Indiana , who spoke for two hours on the
work in general , and Bates county , Missouri ,
in particular , nnd intimated that the same
good results might bo obtained in Omaha.
The committee on resolutions then pre
sented the names of the candidates they had
selected , but ono or two who wcro piescnt
asked that their names bo withdrawn. Mr.
Wbocier said that ho had carefully con
sidered the matter , and thought that the in
terests of the cause would best be sei veil by
not placing any ticket in tholield.
Air. Watts strongly objected to tliis , and
oven intimated that any such resolution
emanated from the whisky inteicst.
The chairman claimed that all
ircsent had a right to express
; heir views , and if ono or two dis
sented from the opinions of others , it was no
sign they wcro working for the liquor inter
est or that they were not as thorough pro-
ubitionlsts as these whoso opinions they op-
)0bcd. Air. Asheiihurst thought the same
ind objected to any kind of "gag law , " and
was decidedly In favor of free speech , A
number of others spoke on the chances a
prohibition candidate would have in the
various wards , but the impression was that a
tlcxot should bo nominated. It was , and the
following candidates were named : Fhst
ward , J. B. Hoe ; Third ward , George K.
.Thomas ; Fourth ward , Dr. Slovens ;
' 'ifth ward , W. B. Seaman ;
Sixth ward , William Hendcison ;
Seventh ward , J. V. Lehman , Ninth waul , .1.
\ . Westtleld. The candidates for the Second
and iCighth wards wore not named , and the
committee wore given time to 1111 In the
ilanks , the chairman first suggesting , in
view of tno number Hint hud declined to run ,
hat the committee should see the candidates
mil pet their consent before placing their
lames in nomination , ami not pick them out
of the directory. A resolution , indorsing
Air. Ciitchfleld as a tompornnco worker , and
recommending him to the chuichcs nnd so

mously , and the meeting adjourned ,

Mr. .f. Adams , the Omaha agent for the

eighth street , died veij suddenly last night
about (1:4,1. ( : Mr Adams was about Ilfty yeais
of ago and had enjoicd excellent health
ncailyall his life. After cnjoi Ing a hearty
supper last night and bitting around the
house for a short time , the deceased , with
his wife , retired to their loom about O.iiO.
A few moments after this Mrs Ailums was
lion illcd to notice her husband in the death
agony , and that without a second's warning.
Xler piercing Hcroams attracted some neigh

moned Dr. Mathowb. The latter , upon
Ills arrival , pronoumed Air , Adams
dead. Later on in tlio evening ,
probably nearly two hours after the
decease , and while a Bi'.u icpoitcr was

of the body , which maintained an uiuiMinI
degree of warmth , the friends ol the dead

at that time. The assumption is th.it lie.it t
