The Inquiry- gives reason for the belief that the attend ance will be greater than at any previous meeting of the association. One feature that gives considerable Interest Is the great num ber of Inquiries from Nebraska. This Is not to be accounted for altogether by Iho fact that a number of prominent Nebraska cdu- catorrj have been placed on the program , but 1s attributable to the character of the gath ering and Its accessibility to Ncbraskans. State Superintendent Sabln has Isaucd an appeal to the school boards and the public , In which ho says : "Tho attention of teach ers , school officers , ! and friends of education la called to the program. It Is strongly urged upon school officers to allow teachers to attend these meetings without loss of time. Ibis has been done at other meet ings with the happiest results. Teachers and schools will be benefited by this course County superintendents are expected to call the attention of school officers to this mat ter.

He was the chief of tbo paid lobbjlsts ot the building and loan federation , which claims to have Influenced the election of the speaker and the appointment of building nnd loan committees In both houses. Saturday both houses began enforcing the rule against al lowing lobbyists on the floors , and simul taneously the circulation of some postoffice petitions was begun. The candidates are D. .Lewis Schooler , J. M.Christy and Isaac Brant.

( Special. ) Ono of the bills passed by the late legis lature which will be a eourco of litigation at an early date Is the bill to license ped dlers and hawkers. The main provisions of the bill require a license to be paid by- all peddlers or hawkers taking orders for groceries , clothing , hardware or other mer cantile establishments , and includes In its scope all peddlers , hawkera or solicitors. The license Is : For pack peddlers on foot , $25 to $50 per year ; peddlers with wagons or other vehicles , $50 to $100 per year ; and for solicitors for groceries , clothing , hardware or other mercantile establishments , $75 to $125 , no license to U ; Issued for a less time than one year. Runners traveling for whole sale houses and taking orders from mer chants only , and peddlers of farm products are exempt from the provisions of the act. The penalty for violation is a fine of from $23 to $100. One of the first question' ! which will bo raised H whether the solicitors for the various blank book bouses will come within the provisions of the act. They are solicitors and take orders from Individuals , and the plain reading would indicate that they do. Ono of this class of solicitors will very likely be called upon at an early date to test tbe law In regard to that class of work.

In Calamity gulch , near Balmoral , struck an exceptionally rich flat formation , showing a thickness of live feet , at depth of 284 feet. Assays of the ere arc said to run very high and tfio owners of the property are consequently jubilant. It Is thought that this five foot formation Is but the first ono ot a number which will bo en countered as the drilling Is continued deeper The company expects to drill to a depth of 2,500 feet In older to discover what the earth at that depth contains. This now strike on Jho llaum property puts now llfo Into all the Ragged Top prospectors , and they are awaiting further developments with a great deal of Interest.
