ROOM FOR BUT ONE COLLEGE
Oongrogationallats'Taka Up and Settle an
Educational Controversy.
NORFOLK SCHOOL GOES OUT OF BUSINESS
Inntltntlon at 5ellRh , Known n
Unten College , Ilecclvcn the OfU-
clal IlcvoKttltlott of the
Church CuniniKtee.
The committee of the Congregational con
ference appointed to decide which of the two
colleges In Nebraska shall be entitled to the
support of the conference has completed Its
task and announced Its decision In favor of
Gates college at Ncllgh. Thla means that
Doane college at .Norfolk must shut up shop.
The decision Is based on the assumption that
there Is not room In the state for the two
Institutions on a paying basis.
Doano college had a good start and was
on a fairly firm footing when Gates college
came to the front aa a rival for Congrega
tional support. After a rivalry more or less
warm , In 1891 , Gates secured recognition ,
and there were then two Congregational col
leges In Nebraska , each entitled to support
from the general church. Later Chadron
came In with a college , demanding recogni
tion , but was unable to show the required
equipment and ntrcngth , and waa only ac
corded academic privileges. About four
yeans ago NorfolK made a bid for the removal
of Oates college from Nellgh. Falling In
securing this , the Norfolk people set up a
college of tliclr own , and since that time
there has been fierce competition with Gates
college. This has gone even to the verge of
animosity , with all the accompaniment of
Intense jealousy between the rival commuul
ties. The situation finally became unbcara
bio from a Congregational point of view , and
recently the ministers of vhat denomination
took stcpa to bring about an adjustment of
the difficulty. For four dajs a committee of
eminent divines ban been In session and on
yesterday announced Its decision In favor of
Giles college.
ROOM FOR BUT ONE.
It was mutually agreed between the two
colleges that there was room for only one ;
that It must bo ono of the two ; tliat there
could bo no compromise , and cacji college
bound Itself to abide by the decision of the
committee. The question to bo decided wco :
Which Is the Congregational college of
northern Nebraska ?
Rev. A. L. Frleble , D.D. . of DCS Molnes ;
Rev. Michael Burnham , D.D. , of St. Louis ;
Rev. Henry Hopkins D.D. , of Kansas City
Rev. F. T. Balky D.D. , ( if Denver , and Rev.
D. N. Beach , D.D. , of Denver constituted
the committee. Its first session was held In
Omaiia on Tuesday , when the preliminaries
of the work were gent ovsr. On Wednesday
the committee visited Norfolk and took testl.
mony , and on Thursday a session was held
at Nellgh. Returning to Omaha Thursday
evening the committee took up the comldcra-
.tlon of the evidence obtained and debated
the matter until after 1 o'clock on Friday
morning. Then the report waa made oul
and signed by all.
In Its findings the committee Is unant
mous and thus the two college i will be de
prlved of any opportunity for prolonging the
contest , which lu now thought to bo happily
settled.
GATES COLLEGE WIN'S.
Gates college Is held to be the Congre
gational collpfio of northern Nebraska. It
Is recommended that the newer and smaller
college at Norfolk shall wind up Its oor-
ixirato affairs at the close of the present
school year and go out of existence. The
committee Is emphatic In Its statement that
those who oiganlzcd the Norfolk college
were true to their highest convictions and
that In the consldi ration of the case there
has been only roipect for their motives ; but
the committee doci not recognize that the
Institution wi.s called for by the necessities
of the cause. Attention Is called to the fact
that Gates ccllego will now enter upon new
responsibilities and the committee counsels
the establishment of frleuilly relations be
tween those now Interested In the two Insti
tutions. The amalgamation of the faculties
and beards of trustees Is suggested , but the
report does not upcclfically recomuund this
procedure. The report refers pointedly to
the fact that Gates college must nut In any
way become a local Institution. It Is not
a Ncllsh college , but a "collcga fee the whole
cf northern Nebraska end the toard of
trustees should bo representative of the
whole region.
In closing the report the ministers call
attention to the lact that great caie should
bo exercised In husbanding the money that la
ect aside fcr the permanent cndowmnt of
the college. Its use for current cxponsirf of
the college Is never justified.

Mr. Galley has been tent to Tscln-Tcln by
4ho Young Men's Christian ataoclatlon of
Princeton , untverilty , which decided some
tlmo ago to pay the expenses of a Prince
ton representative there and selected htm.
Ho will occupy the aiaoclation building In
the Chinese ctty , which was built through
the liberality of Mrs. Taylor of Cleveland.
Ho has practically decided to leave the
United States forever.
" 1 Intend to give my Ilfo to mU-slonary
work In China , " said Mr. Galley. "I may
come back to this country again , but not
moro than once In six or seven years. There
Is a great work to be done there. Taeln-
Tsln Is a city of about 1,000,000 people and
It has many colleges and universities. My
work will lie almost entirely among the
students of these Institutions. "

AT THE HOTELS.
Noah Slcver , the man who originally laid
out the townslte of Deadwood , Is at the
Mlllard. Mr. Slcver has jU3t returned from
Grand Encampment , Wyo. , where ho has
been examining the 'mining prospects for
eastern capitalists. 'He ' reports the Grand
Encampment district aa being very rich In
novcral kinds of minerals. Gold , copper and
cobalt prevail , and they appear In such payIng -
Ing quantities In the ore that Mr. Sieve ?
thinks Grand Encampment will prove the
richest camp In the United States. The
nearest way to get to this district Is by the
Union Pacific , leaving the train at Fort
ctcelo or Rawllns. There Is little question
but that a spur will be built from the Union
Pacific the coming summer. At present Mr.
Slever says there are absolutely no accommo
dations In Grand Encampment , not even a
hotel. The find of gold In this region was
made twenty years ago , but there waa no way
to rofinc It and little was done with the ore
till recently. Mr. Slever thinks the copper
deposits will prove of greatoit value. As
bestos Is also found hero In paying quantities.
In speaking of the smelter which was burned
at Deadwood Thursday Mr. Blever said that
ho had no doubt but that It would be rebuilt
Immediately. U iwas owned by Deadwood
and Dclenaro capital and Is so necessary to
the operation of the great mining Interests
at Deadwood that It Is certain to be re
placed. Last year this same smelter suf
fered a heavy loss In the destruction of the
refining works and these were replaced at
once. The smelter employs 400 men arfQ has
a dally capacity of 400 tons.

BLAKE HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Driver Thrown from His Engine
ing to a Tin.
HIS PRESENCE OF MIND SAVES HIS LIFE
Defective Wiring in the Mlillnnd
Given the Occupant * n | Ilml Scare
ami Urlnirn Out the Fire
Department. ( /
Driver Dlako of Engine No 3 had a
narrow escape from terrible Injuries , If not
death , yesterday afternoon while responding
to an alarm of fire which was turned In from
the Midland hotel on North Slxtsenth street.
A bad anil dangerous street car track cross
ing at Seventeenth and Dodge streets was
the cause of the accident.
In going to the scene of the supposed fire
the engine , as well as other parts of the fire
apparatus , proceeded north on Seventeenth
street from Farnam In order to avoid Six
teenth street , which Is ordinarily well filled
with vehicles. The pavements were slippery
and for that reason the teams were not
driven above the sharp trot. Spectators , who
were many In number , say that the team of
Engine No. 3 was well under control.
When the engine struck the rough wooden
block paving en Dodge street Driver Dlako
was jostled In his neat. Then the heavy en
gine was brought up hard against a street
car rail -that Is a couple of Inches above the
street's level. Driver Dlake was hurled bodily
ily from his eeat and was thrown down be
tween the truck and the horses In front of
htm. Fortunately he retained sufficient
presence of mind to selzo hold of the foot
board of the vehicle with one hand and of
the pole with the other. In that position he
was dragged along with the engine.
IT WAS A CLOSE CALL.
Both Engineer Anderson and Assistant
Engineer Rocheford noticed Dlako's fall. The
latter leaped from the engine and attempted
to run to the heads of the horses , but failed.
Engineer Anderson , ? io\\ever , clambered upon
the engine and made nls way to the driver's
seat. Ho grabbed the reins and finally
brought the running horses to a stop. By
this time , however , Davenport street was
reached , two blocks away from where the
driver had fallen.
Blake was assisted from his precarious
position. It was found that ho was not badly
hurt , his Injuries consisting of bruises on his
shoulders and limbs. Ills escape was con
slderecl remarkable. Had ho fallen to the
ground lie could hardly have escaped death.
Either he would have been run over by the
heavy vehicle or else ho would have been
mangled under the firebox , which extends
to within a foot of the ground. In either
case the chances were against him , as the
engine weighs In the neighborhood of 8,600
pounds.
Another accident marred the run of the
firemen. As Assistant Chief Saultcr's buggy-
was creasing Capitol avenue on Seven
teenth street , It ran over a greyhound which
has been making Its quarters at No. 3 en
gine house and has accompanied the fire lad
dies to fires. One of the legs of the animal
was completely severed.
ELECTRICITY VERY ACTIVE.
To make the run of the department stll
moro peculiar , It was found that there was
no fire at the Midland hotel , but that the
entire houeo was charged with electricity
Every fixture and pipe In the house was
filled with the Invisible fluid. City Electric
Inn Shurlg was called and not until ho had
cut the electric wires to the building could
ono grasp a gsa fixture or a pipe with Im
punity. A ground 'circuit had been formed
on the system on account of the dampness
and this together with some defective wiring ,
caused the peculiar condition.
The fact that electricity was running
\ocao \ through the house was first notice' '
when f. man on entering the front door
grasped an Iron railing with his hand and
put his foot on an Iron step. A circuit was
thus formed. He was given a severe shock
and entered the hotel In aa unenviable frame
of mind , as ho believed that a joke had been
played on him. An Investigation developed
that all the metal In the house was In the
same condition. A short time afterward
amoko was seen tcsulng from the floor o.
the second story , but It was gone when the
department arrived. It la believed that
some or the insulation about the wires was
set afire.
After ho had destroyed the electric con
nection with the building , City Electrician
Shurlg refused to allow It to bo Joined again
until the 'building ' Is rewired. The wiring
was put In before the ordinance now In cx-
Istenco wsa passed. The city electrician had
condemned three-quarters of the wiring In
the structure before and had sent four no
tices to the proprietor that the remainder
must be replaced , but no attention was paid
to them. City Electrician Shurlg asserted
that ho would run no more chancca of having
the building set on fire through defects In
the wiring.

If any fear existed In the mind of the
Omaha theater-going public that Roland
Iced , In exploiting a new play , has become

who gets his wires crossed In ( tie matter ot
a bribe , and who finally gets off his own

The case against J. J. Maly , o constable ,
who was arrested a week or so ago for ob
taining money under false pretenses , was
dismissed In police court yesterday after
noon for luck of prosecution. It was as
serted by Isador Flschel that Maly entered
his place , and , representing that ho was a
HCCHPO Inspector , demanded $10. Maly dU
not deny his guilt , but asserted that he was
only jokln/g. Friends of the constable suc
ceeded In Fettling the matter so that the
prosecuting witnesses did not appear when
the case was called.
The fire department was called to the
homo of Mr. Cavers , Twenty-sixth and A
streets , yesterday to extinguish a small
blaze which had hetn Etarted by an over
heated stove. The UMS will amount to very
little , but had there'been danger of a serious
conflagration the fire' department would have
been almost powerless , os the nearest hy
drant li located at Twenty-sixth and E
Etreuts. For a long tlmo the residents In
this portion of the city have been asking
for better flro protection , but up to the
present time no action has been taken by
the city council.

It's just ns we tell you it 10. Wo are making entirely
new prices on Boys and Children's ' suits this Spring. Wo
are offering some of the choicest patterns and nicest goods
that wo could possibly find in the markets , and selling
them for less much less than others ask for common
patterns and inferior cloths. Today wo will have ready
the three new styles in knee pant suits for boys 7 to 14
and two new lines of those handsome Juveniles which are
making so much talk. The "regular" suits will be priced
$2.00 , § 2.50 and three dollars and the novelties will bo
marked § 2.25 and $1.75. Today also we . will have several
* *
new lines of men's suits ready , mostly in medium grades
from § 6.00 to § 8.00 , with one or two lines of fine suits
that will be marked § 9.50 and § 12.00 a suit. Pooh ! you
say. They can't bo very fine for that. Can't they ,
though ? Well , you would think they couldn't , but if
you will gaze in our east window or better yel , step up to
our second Iloor and examine them , you will turn your
thinkin' cap the other way round. They are not only as
line but finer than you ever bought outside of The Ne
braska for "iff teen dollars , and if you want to "just look"
at them you had better leave your money at home , for
they'll coax the money out of many a man's pocket before
the season is through. They're just that fine.
