ANOTHER SALT LANDS RING ,
How It is TftToroil ! by a Bill How Before

SOME OF ITS PRINCIPAL PROVISIONS ,

the IMitttHiiioiith Itciinlon ,
J INCOI.X , Neb. , Feb. 18-SiecIal | ) to Tup
Hun. ] The biennial attempt to deprive the
ptnto of Its salt lands was mndo again today
in the judiciary committee' the house , of
which Mr. Hhrader Is chairman. It wus
done in consideration of house roll 'J20 , which
in Itself Is n daisy. It binrs upon Its face so
jnuch evidence of a disposition to get the re-
mnlndcr of these valuable lands Into the
linnds of n combine or corporation for selfish
speculative purposes thnt the wonder is the
bill was not strangled in its iufancy.
The iiicaturo prescribes that any lessee of
'
nny saline lands'of the state ( saving and ex-
contlng the salt springs , the alienation of
vhlcn is by tho'constitution piohibilod ) , or
nny person who shall hereafter lease any part
of said lands , may apply In writing to the
commissioner of public lands nnd buildlnes
to have the land Included In his lease ap
praised for sale. Thereupon the conimis-
Bloncr of public lands ami buildings shall In-
jttruct the county commissioners or supervis
ors to appraise said lands for sale. The ap-
) > ralsoment is to bo made in accordance with
the law of Ibbtf ,
After the appraisement , the applicant to
purchase may pay the appraised valuation of
unld land and bo entitled to receive a dcea
lor the name ; oral his option , such appli
cant may pay uuy sum not loss than one-
tenth of the appraised valuation , and shall in
such case give notes for the amount unpaid.
J'aymcnt shall bo made to the commissioner
of public lands and bullriluRs , nnd when
jmulo in full the puVcbnscr shall be given a
deed to the land in ijuestion.
In case of default in payment of the an-
praised valuation , the least ) shall bo forfeited
nnd tbo lands ngain leased. Tbo proceeds
shall bo npqllcd to the sinking of wells for
the development ami utilization of coal , salt
nnd other miner-ills.
The last provision in the bill Is that one of
tno proposed wells shall IK ) located nt or near
the industrial homo , at or near Kearney , In
this state.
The purpose of this bill was so patent to
the members of the committee present that
\vlth one exception they favored that It bo in
definitely postponed. A motion to this effect
was inntlo and seconded , but Shrndor refused
to entertain tt. Ho did , however , entertain n
motion to revise the measure , andsatisfied :
lilmsclf that the motion prevailed.
A gentlemnn who had been before the com
mittee nflerwards remarked : I
"There is no use In trying. You can't got
Shradcr to allow one of his bills to bo killed
in his committee. It hns been tried tlmo arid
BRaln. but -without ( ? oed result. There It a ,
fctcal in this bill. The alleged well at Kear
ney Is a blind. What do they want a
well at Kearney forl The Kearney
cnnnl passes through the grouuda of
the industrial Institute. It would bo
cheaper to punm water from it than
to dig for water. As to cnal and salt and
other minerals , well , what is the use of going
elsewhere than to Lincoln to llnd them }
" \Vhynotbogln \ the work at homo , whouso
much has altcady boon expended !
"Jlut the idea Is not to sink a Well Kear
ney so much ns it Is to get the lands out of
the hands of the state and into those of a
liost of speculators In Lincoln who now hold
leases on some of them. Yes. and they want
to get the lands right near this cltv , which
nro worth , perhaps. ? 40 nn acre. This has
been tbo aim of this horde for years. If the
bill was not in the Interest of these follows ,
why should it bo necessary to conllno the
sale tb "any lessee or who may become a
lessee { " This gives.an advantage to these
idmrks , nnd gives them notice to become
Jcasecs In short order of the best lands , the
moment tt becomes apparent the bill Is to be
come a law. This destroys compotltloa ,
Oven if competition was contemplated. I nm.

There nro not many periods In a man's Ufa
to which ho looks back with such sincere , mi-
alloyed pleasure ns to his college days. The
world was all before him tlien , nnd the world
was fair and bright mm full of roseuto
dreams ; then , ns Thackeray puts it
KVorv KOOM wit a swan , lad.
A nd every lass u q IHTII.
Many n grey beard feels that If It wcro
possible he would gladly live those days over
again ; nnd many a time amid the care nnd
conflict of life ho turns to the memoirs of
those earlier dayn and feels as though
ho had inhaled a draught from the cool foun
tains of his happy youth.
And even the young men who have loft
their college walls but a very short tlmo ago
feel In n lesser degree this "homo longing , "
as Curlylo says , for the associations of their
college days.
This Jeoling was particularly prominent at
tlio dinner given to President Charles W.
Eliot last evening in the cafe of the I'axtou
hotel by the Omaha Howard club.
The presence of tbo revered head of that
famous institution of learning , which forever
over two centuries has nourished like the
green bay tree , brought back In endless suc
cession , to the sons of Harvard , old memories
and old affections , and the evening was col
ored with reminiscence.
The bnun.uot room , In honor of the event ,
was very tastefully decorated , the Harvard
crimson meeting the gaze ut every turn of
the eye.
Above the tabla were broad folds of crim
son suspended , covormir , like u canopy , the
gentlemen about the board. On the wust will
was a stand of the national rod , white
and blue , fastened by broad crimson ribbon.
Imiles ! of roses and ferns concealed the win
dow ledges and the sideboard , whllo several
handsome rose balls /Hied / with La France
and American beauties gave color to the
table , which was laid In a single length for
twenty occupants.
The venerable president of the Omaha
Harvard club , lr. Klehard Stebblns of the
cla s of MO , occupied the sent at the head ,
the pu'est of the evening , President Kliot , at
his right.
The other cuests present were Albert
Swurtzlander , law ; L. .1. H la ice , law ; Mr.
Allen , T4 ; II. I ) . Hodges , formerly professor
of chemistry mid German in the university ;
W. II. Baldwin , Jr. , ' : W. U.

Clifford Smith : C. T. Brainard , 'i ; C. T.
Elttutter , ' 87 ; W. T. Poppleton , ' 87 ; W. T.

The menu was exceedingly elaborate , as
follows :

After tho. discussion of the bill , which oc
cupied nearly two hours , Mr. J.-.H. iMcIn-
tosh , as tlm toastmaster for the evening ,
arose and said :
"I tiavo looked forward with In tores t to
this meeting1 for a long time , because It was
destined to bring mo the latest and b < st
no\V3 of Hnuvnrd , and I now propose the
principal toast of the ovonine , 'President
Eliot. ' " ,
There was a moving backward of chairs as
President Eliot arose to respond.
"Tho latest news Is always the best , when
It alludestoHurvnrd , " saidthe distinguished
educator. "But no doubt , as children of the
nhlvi.jityyou are anxious to know how
your 'benign ' mother' is progressing since
you have Ifc'on anrn.y.
"Hcr'fH porlty is strllring , for during the
academic ycnr Just passed Harvard has re
ceived in endowments over $500,000. and al
ready thts'yenr over ? ; 100,0JO ( have been do-
nntcd in spite of the tightness of the money
market.
ThU gcnero'73 giving is not confined alone
to eastern Massachusetts , and has been the
cases In the p.ist , but oequosts are coming
from many eastern states , and the west , too ,
is iiobly coming to the front. Therefore
we nro beginning to look forward to an en
dowment from a much wider nrea than
that which hns been the case in former years.
And some of these days wo expect to receive
bequests from Minneapolis , St. Paul and
0mnlm , Chicago already being represented In
the growing list. "
Ho then spoke of the government of the
university and the principles which underlie
it , stating that it wus historically u Massa
chusetts institution , and its long line of dis
tinguished citizens had so pei-muited it that
ho doubted if it could bo anything else than
a Massachusetts seat of learning. The
spcaltnr adverted to tbo growth of the
college , and incidentally predicted thnt
by the opening of tne twentieth
century there would bo : t,000 students
enrolled in all Its departments If tlio ratio
of increase continues , which ho had every
reason to bellovo it would
"Thero la objection,11 , said tbo doctor , "to
Harvard on the grounds that ttls patronized
by the rich. This is n crent mistake , for
Cambridge , as some of you gentlemen pres
ent tonight can testify , har.bors and grad
uates the poor in greater proportion than
even the , moderately wealthy. While
wo have ricu young meu there ,
and they ' are not despised for
some of thorn are real good fellows still
there are ten fold more of the sons of the
poor pursuing the academic course. It is to
the sons of business men , professional men.
niectianicsund farmers that Harvard looks
for the bulk of Its students , "
Hqthen spokoof the spirit of ovnngollzn-
tlon which'tho members of the Harvard club
might show toward their alma mater , nnd
closed wttti n ple.ibliigroferenco to the uudi-
cnco which listened to his talk on Tuesday
evening nnd thanked the club for the oppor
tunity alTorded him to carry back to Cam
bridge bright memories of his visit to Omaha.
Tbo members tlion sang "Fair Harvard , "
Mr. W. 11. Baldwin , ! - . , presiding at the
piano , H II. Hodges olllelating in the capac
ity of chorister.
The toiistinnster , then , in a very pleasing
Introductory speech , presented Mr. lilchnrd-
son , who responded to tno to.ist , "Somo
Thoughts About tbo Lessening of the Col-
leglalo Term. "
Mr. W. II. Baldwin , Jr. , at the oloso of Mr.
Richardson's speech , gave a bright solo , in
which love and Its accomplishments played n
no Insignificant part , nndus followed by
Mr. F. A. Brogan , who gnvo his Ideas about

Then camu the timo-honorod "For He's a

terminating the cry.
