LINCOLN , July 12. ( Special. ) Attorney
Oeorgc A. Day of Omaha has boon tendered
the position of duputy by Attorney General
Churchill , to succeed W. S. Summers , re
moved for cause. The salary ot this place Is
Jl.SOO per annum. To a reporter for The
Dee Mr , Churchill said this evening :
"I have tendered the position to Mr. Day ,
and he has It under consideration. AU these
Btorles afloat about the trouble between Mr.
Summer and myself , dating back to the state
convention ot last fall , are without founda
tion. Up to within two weeks no one was
considered for the deputyshlp but Summers.
My reasons for his removal are satisfactory
to my self and have no political significance
whatever. But I mint have some one In my
office who will stay there when I nm called
away. For the best good of the state , one
of us must be In the office at nil times dur
ing business hours. For this reason , to
gether with some events that occurred while
I was up In Boyd county , trying the Barrett
Scott murder case , I thought It best for the
good of the office to remove Mr. Summers. "
The allusion to the events occurring while
the attorney general waa In Boyd county are
{ supposed to refer to the conduct of the Dor-
Kan Injunction In the district court. All the
points contended for by Deputy Summers he
won In the case , but It seems that he did
not ask for enough. It Is said , on reliable
authority , that Summers was ordered to ten
der the warrant to Dorgan In court , but this
was an Impossibility , as State Auditor Eu
gene Moore would not glvo up the warrant ,
HAD TO CONSULT TUB COLONEL.
There Is another story afloat that Tom
Majors made a demand for the removal ol
Summers , having Imbibed the Idea that the
latter's republicanism was not up to the or
thodox Majors brand of politics. The atti
tude ot some of the state officers would seen
to lend color to this version.
In regard to the charge of absenteeism
preferred against Summers , the latter pro
tested strongly and It Is said these charge :
were withdrawn. Summers showed that hi
had only been absent with the knowledge
nnd consent of the attorney general , and thai
ho had refrained from attending the na
tlonal meeting of the Republican League
where ho was booked for a speech , owlni
to the absence ot the attorney general.
It Is undeniable that a strong Impressloi
i prevails among qulto n number that the trui
reason for the summary dismissal of Sum
mcrs Is disguised In the published repor
that the attorney general believed that hi :
deputy was not loyal to him , hut In leagui
with Mr. Churchill's political enemies , am
that ho was In correspondence with them
It Is also freely stated that the removal o
Summers was decided upon at a mcetlni
recently held In this city , at which Ton
Majors was present.
The removal of Deputy Summers Is de
plorcil on every hand among state official
and the public generally. The head of on
of the state departments said today tha
the removal of Summers was considered b
the supreme court a direct slap at that bed )
The three justices and three commissioner
united In a letter of recommendation to Al
torney General Churchill upon tlie latter'
accession to the office. So sincere and coi
dial was this recommendation that the al
torney general told Summers that It left n
alternative but to appoint him as deputj
H Is bard to understand when this releae
from the "alternative" could have bee
given , as Summers has always given porfct
satisfaction to the supreme court.
A singular Incident Is connected wit
this correspondence between the suprem
court and the attorney general. The lettc
of recommendation was signed by the fu
bench and nil three of the commissioner !
In his reply Attorney General Churchill d
reeled his letter and remarks to Justlci
Norval , Poit and Harrison , completely Ignoi
I Ing the supreme court commissioners.
There Is said to have been an organize
conspiracy worked up against Summers t
n few state officials , and others were It
vlted to Join this cabal , who refused. Tl :
facts are all destined to como out , howeve
and they cannot reflect credit on the coi
splrators.
No tangible or reasonable excuse lias yi
been offered by Attorney General Churchl
for the removal , and Mr. Summers Invites
full and free Investigation of his every acHe
Ho has really been the attorney gener
over slnco Churchill's election , and the pa
year has been one of an Immense * amoui
of work. It Is Intimated that the state b :
at large was fast coming to recognize Sun
in era as the head ot the department.
Ono of the startling things connected wll
this unexplained dismissal Is Llio asscrtlt
that Attorney General Churchill at one tin
agreed to take the Illinois bank end of tl
case against Dorgan , but when L. C. Bu
went to lilm with the petition to sign It
said that Churchill saw the trouble ahe :
and refused to sign It.
i
Mr. Churchill came to Omaha from Llnco' '
last night , lie was seen by a reporter , b
declined to go Into the merits of the matte
Ho said the offer of the position was a. su
prlso to Mr. Day , and that the latter li :
asked time to consider the matter. Mr. D ;
promised to announce his decision this mori
Ing. Mr. Churchill said Mr. Day would male
o very acceptable officer. Ho knew of i
reason why Mr. Day should refuse , and fc
Iiorfectly confident that the answer would 1
an acceptance of the offer.

DENVEH , July 12. At the morning ECS
slon ot ( he National Educational convention
today the "Instruction and Improvement ot
Teachers Now at Work In the Schools" was
the general subject ot discussion.
Prof. Arvls S. Olln ot the State university ,
Lawrence , Kan. , read n paper on "Teachers'
Institutes. " The Institute , ho said. Is to bo
to the teachers what the newspaper Is to the
ordinary scholar. It has been n means ot
greatly Improving the teacher's work , over
comes a sense ot Isolation , develops Interest ,
disseminates the benefit ot personal experience
and gives proper emphasis to the ethical and
spiritual element In education.
Trot. Earl A. Uarnes of Stanford university.
California , followed with a paper on "Teach
ers' Classes. " "Tho dlfllcullles In class
work , " ho said , "are the different degrees of
ability and training of teachers and the
scarcity of good leaders. The results are
often overwork , dissatisfaction and petty
jealousies. It properly conducted teachers'
classes enable the superintendents to detect
genius. Introduce the student spirit to teach
ers' work , give opportunity for free discus
sion , develop the give and take spirit and lend
unity and purpose to the work of the school
department.
The "Work of the Heading Circle" was
treated by L. II. Jones of Cleveland , O. The
reading circle , he said , selects the best books
and arranges them In the best order for
teachers ; furnishes t'ie ' key and gives sug
gestions as to Its application ; It furnishes an
Immediate and forceful motive for reading.
The fact that a large number of persons are
reading on the same subject Is a great motive
for diligent reading. The circle should
not be confined to teachers , but should In
clude all who will take up the work , as the
enlargement of the circle Increases the In
terest , v
The papers were discussed by Mrs. A. J.
Peavy , state superintendent of Colorado ;
James M. Green , Trenton , N. J. ; N. C.
Schaffer , state superintendent of Pennsylvania
and John H. Kirk , state superintendent of
Missouri.
Colonel Francis W. Parker ot Chicago
losed the discussion on the training of
.eachers by paying an eloquent tribute to
Superintendent . II. Maxwell of Brooklyn ,
he author and promoter of the bill recently
signed by Governor Morton of Now York ,
after being three times rejected by the as-
iembly of that state. This bill provides that
after 1897 every teacher In the public schools
of the Empire state , must have at least one
gear's professional training. The enactment
also endows the state superintendent with
jower to designate the high schools from
which teachers shall be drawn.

Wo teganl this movement as not Inculcnt-
ng nn education or preparation for war ,
> ut as Inspiring n deeper love of country ,
i readier obedience to established law and
order , and n llrmer respect for our Institu
tion ! ) . Aa the Interests of the whole nation
are more carefully regarded i as sectional
feeling dies nwuy , we recognize the great
opportunity ottered to , and obligation rout-
ng upon our schools to place n higher value
upon patriotic citizenship , and we rcoom-
nend n systematic course of Instruction
which shall give a bronder view to patriot-
sin and morality , n higher regard for the
rights of citizenship , of society , of property ,
if the security and sacrcilneps of hum in
Ifo. In this conenctlon wo commend the

jy the various'organizations throughout our
country , which , while having their foundn-
: lens In patriotic purposes , exert their ef-
Torts for the maintenance nf peace and for
; ho settlement of International disputes
through arbitration. Wo recommend to our
Historians the Importance of placing before
the people of our country n fuller history
of what has been accomplished bv arbitra
tion , to pecura peace throughout the world.
EDUCATIONAL BUREAU COMMENDED
Resolved , That the national bureau of
education , through the personal Intlucnco of
ts head , ami by the dissemination of most
valuable Information , hi's mailo Itself In-
llspcnsuhlo in the general advancement ot
education. That we hereby earnestly rec
ommend to nur representatives In congress
hat moru ndeiiuatc provision bo imulo for a
much needed mid Increased elllclency In a
reasonable provision of buildings for Its of-
llces. Its Illiriirv anil Its museum , and for
the moru liberal ptepatatlon and publication
of educational Information.
Resolved , That this association commends
the lldellty of Its ollleers , under whose man
agement so large u fund of money safely
nvo ted has been accumulated , amounting
with the proceeds of this meeting to over
(50,000 ( ; that we .further recognize that this
is nn educational rather than n llnanclnl
organization , and that warrant nf Its ex
istence must 1)0 found In Its ability to dis
cover gieat ends of usefulness ami to ex-
: > cnd Its accumulations wisely , rather than
In hoarding them , and therefore we cor
dially approve the action nf the national
council In the appointment of n special com
mittee to Investigate the condition of the
rural schools of this country , regarding
their organization , their conduct and their
support , and to report upon the most feas
ible plans for their Improvement In these
respects , whereby the youth of the country
mav enjoy in reasonable measures the ad
vantages that are common In cities and
vlllaccs , and In support of this proposition
the lequest of nn appropriation to meet the
necesrary expenses of this committee Is ap
proved.
Resolved , That we heartily appreciate the
efforts of our government to bring every
Indian child under appropriate Instruction
in the elements ) of conduct. Industry and let
ters , and to free the Indian school service
from the evils of partisan Influence. ; that
wo emphatically approve Its effortsto sys
tematize Indian education under profes
sional leadership ; that we cordially sympa
thize with Superintendent Hnllinann s ap
peal to the teachers of the land for active
Interest on their part In the civilization of
the Indians and for n concerted effort to
bring the Indian under the same law with
the whlto man In the several states of the
union. That wo heartily approve the ef
forts to educate Ala kans , and especially In
the care and use of reindeer as an Industry ,
and ns a means of saving them from starva
tion and affording them food , raiment , shel
ter and transportation , and that we believe
congress should extend to Alaska aid In
settling the questions of productive Industry
by experiment stations , ns It now aids In
the other territories and In the several
states , by its appropriations for agricultural
stations.
Resolved , That nil Intelligent pedagogy
demands that we should recognize ns fully
as possible the nature of the children for
whom the school exists. Kvory method
which can prove Itself profitable to this end
should be encouraged. All sciences touch
ing the physical or mental development of
children should bo drawn upon for whatever
hq'.p they can afford. Teachers everywhere
should have wise direction In the common
sense observation of the children under
their charge. There should bo throughout
our public school system renewed and pro
found consideration of nil things touching
the physical and mental health ot children ,
and training In school hygleno should con
stitute part of the professional education of
trnchers
Resolved , That we hall with Joy the .id-
vent of the kindergarten , and we urge the
legislatures of the several states to make
such provision In their school laws as will
render It possible to make the kindergarten
an Integral part of the public school sys
tems of the United States.
PREPARATION OF TKACJIEUS.
Tlesolved , That since wo bellovo that the
Intelligent teaching of children can be EC-
cured only by the Intelligent training of
teachers , we heartily commend the efforts
made In all parts of thn country , through
means of round tables , teachers' Institutes
and summer schools , to Increase the elll
clency of the force already In the Held , but
at best the training acquired by these
means In the nature of things must be In
adequate. Hence , we urge upon the legisla
tures of the several states that they make
provision for the establishment of thor
oughly equipped normal schools In sufllclcnt
numbers to make It | > osslble that all of the
teachers of the public schools may receive
such training as the transcendent Interests
committed to their charge imperatively de
mand , so that In the near future none but
well trained teachers shall bo permitted to
enter upon the work of Instructing children.
In this connection we congratulate ovir
friend and co-worker. Superintendent W. H.
Maxwell of Brooklyn , N. Y. , upon the en
actment Into law of the bill drawn by him
so many years ago , and for which he has
EO long and faithfully labored. We also
congratulate his excellency. Governor I evl
I' . Morton , that he has rl en to bis high
privilege of signing this bill , and thus mak
ing It n law , and -we congratulate tlio Em
pire Mnto that It has such loyally true mer
to stand for the welfare of Its children.

SCOTT LAUNCHES HIS BOOM
Openly Announce * 11 In Dtnlro to llo Agnln
( linden in it .liidgp ,
C. R Gcott , who Is siceklng the nomination
for a second term on the judicial bench , ma'o
an address last evening to the Swedlsh-Amcr-
can Garflcld club. Ills advent on the stump
10 explained by stating that court had ad-
lourned , and so ho came out as a simple citi
zen. After getting thoroughly warmed up
to his subject The Bee and Its oJltor ho
tried to make n hit by offering any news
paper $10 , niul when this sum did not take ,
? 20 , If It would publish his speech In full In
the morning. No ono seemed to consider the
speech worth the money , as no one made
any move to see it the speaker had the funds.
The sfoaker followed our his favorite line
of talking on such occasions by declaring how
dearly ho lovc.l the Declaration of Independ
ence. When ho reached that portion ot his
speech , consisting of all that part not devoted
to himself and his love of this country and
certain principles In the aforesaid declara
tion , which the speaker had devoted to Mr.
Hosewater and abuse of him , an attempt was
mado-to tickle the risibility of the crowd by
quoting doggerel rhyme on the cJltor of The
Bee and turning It off by remarking that he
did not wish to bo considered personal In
his remarks. The speaker asked for sym
pathy because ho said his character
had been destroyed. Ho declared that
Tom Majors was as good a man as ever
dusted oft Nebraska soil from , his
boots , and that Mr. Rosewater had defeated
him , but that he would never do It again.
The speaker said that If he were put on the
bench there would be nt least ono man there
who did not fear Mr. Rosewater or The Bee ,
for he had this pointing tragically to his
right arm , the sleeve of which he stopped
and Industriously rolled up to show what he
meant. He admitted that It would never do ,
so far as ho was concerned , to be put back
on the bench , but tried to persuadehe au-
dlenco that the American citizens present
should determine that ho occupy the bench
"without let or hindrance from any man. "
After announcing his particular views on
school houses , libel and the declaration ot In
dependence , and promising later on another
speech on his favorite topic , the speaker
said If these doctrines were those of the A.
P. A. he was one of them.
Having disposed of this part of the pro
gram , the club finished its annual election of
officers , re-electing Frank Burman president ,
Charles Soudenberg vlco president , Frank
Planck secretary , and Charles Rylander
treasurer. _

BIUDGRPORT , Conn. , July 12. Peter
Winter entered the police station hero last
night and said : "I-"want to give myself up.
I have killed a man. Go ontaldo and you
will see the body. "
An officer stepped outsldo nnd found a
horse and phaeton In the street. In the
phaeton were a man and a woman sitting
bolt upright ; between them was a corpse.
The mouth was open and blood w s dripping
from the beard. The man was Charles But

city by moonlight holding the dead man be
tween them while Winter sat on the stiffened
knees of the corpse and drove. The body
was taken to the morgue and Winter was
locked up. At the Inquest ho was bound
over.
Winter Is 63 years old , a farmer and ol
good reputation. For several years he has
employed Butler on his farm. The agree
ment was that Butler should receive part of
his pay in hard elder. Butler had worked
two weeks and had already drunk up the
supply of hard elder. He demanded more ;
Winter refused to glvo It to him. Whllo
Winter was at supper Butler entered and
struck him. Winter ran to an outbuilding.
Butler followed him. Butler dodged back
