Tlic faculty of the Nebraska State univer sity Announces that on January 7 , 1896 , a school ot agriculture will be opened In con nection wlih the university. The session will last twelve weeks. This school Is expected to meet the demand for simple nn.l more practical Instruction In agriculture. It will require leas pteparatlon on the part ot the student than does the regular college course , and will occupy but n fchort time , and that nt a season of the year when farm work Is lca t pressing. No examinations for entrance are required , li-.it applicants will ba expected to have a ucod knowledge of the primary English branches as taught In the district schools , and must be at least 1G' years of ago and ( jf good moral character. The tuition Is merely nominal. In preparing the course of Instruction the object lias been to make It as practical ns possible , to give the student something that will bo of value to him when lie- returns to the farm. The Instruction Is given by means of lectures , and actual practice. The prac tice , however , Is not In that work of the farm with which every farmer's boy Is familiar , but In the less known operations , < is milk testing , Judging of cattle and horses , tree grafting , etc. The course of Instruction comprises soli tillage and methods for the conservation ol moisture In sollsit slock feeding and farm dairying ; laboratory work In milk testing ; diseases nf farm animals and their treatment , with practical demonstrations ; breeds of live Ktock ; hcorlng of horses , cuttlo and swine ; fruit growing and vegetable gardening with practice In green house.

The monay paid In by the ? ? saloon keepers Is now on deposit with the city treasurer , but cannot bo credited to the school fund or used by the Board of Edu cation until a license is actually granted. Mayor Johnston said that he was glad the matter had been settled. He expected Just such a decision , as every fair-minded per son knew that the Tribune did not have the circulation In the county or city that The Use has. In regard to the two applications printed In The Bee being thrown out be cause the applicant had not procured the I'lgnnturss of thirty freeholders , the mayor taltl that when the license matter first came up he cautioned the license committee , which Is composed of Hyland , Mies and Dulla , to watch carefully and see that every signer to our. ot the petition ! ) was a freeholder.

'H ( Jrrut Charter. ' The Twenty-first street Presbyterian church was crowded from altar to vestibule yester day morning. The music was of a high order and n number of flowers and plants adorned the pulpit. After the christening of an in fant , Dr. Wheeler announced his topic : " ' " The text from "Christ's Great Charter. was the forty-third verse of the tenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. The preacher eald that all those peculiar blessing which enrich our social , re ligious and political life and mark us na a favored people find their way to us ns a re sultant of Borne old charter , carefully exe- cuteil from the king or legislature confer ring privileges , estate and hclrslilp upon us , find their way to us from King John , who read of King Alfred , who read of Moses , who saw God face to face. The great charter of Jesus Christ was the carefully written In strument of the covenant of Abraham of which the prophets were witnesses ; God hav ing ordained Christ before Abraham's day , to be the Interpreter of the charter which secured to every believer In Christ two things : First , remission of past sin ; second , power to obtain righteousness , Sin Is not only any transgression , but also any lack of conformity to God's will , and sin had dwarfed our wills and had envelopjd our altars with the black curtains of des pair , which mocked our spiritual infirmities and we were crippled and without power of ourselves to please Gbd a wretched past was behind us and a future without hope. The charter brought this to men of faith. "Though your sins bo as scarlet yet they ( your sin ) shall be made whiter than snow. " Thus did God , by Christ's charter , remove spiritual and intellectual , disability. "I will sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall bo clean. " The second benefit was right of life or righteousness , and carried with It power to become rons of God. That was liberty lo the prlson-bonnd and made Paul say : "I can do all things. " A freedom to work out your salvation by your own faith and In the rights guaranteed In the charter , and not to be as "tue horse or mule , to be bridle led , " but a liberty of faith , freedom of action to walk InTour own way to your own Christ , nnd be' saved not by .baptism , much or little , or by ritual or creed , but saved by faith In tlie charter of on evor- llvlng , loving Christ.
