LINCOLN , Oct. r . ( Special. ) In order to
help make their claim good of Increasing the
fchool apportionment of the state the jopo-
eratlc officials have found It necessary to
take advantage of every favorable condition
brought on by good crops and McKlnloy
prorperlty , and at the stme time hava quietly
Increased the burden nf thu counties In the
matter of school levy to furnl.ili part of this
Increase. For Instance , In 1&97 the amount
to be raised by the counties out of the regu
lar levy for school purposes was Increased
$3,000 nnd In 1&98 there was a further In
crease of $3,500. $ The school levy for the last
eight years Is as follows :
School Levy. ' School Levy.
1KI1 $142.2l.1ilS9.r 130.1S1
JSM 14lOSG189ii | 141,332
ISM 138,7S.1S97 ! | 117.136
1S9I 138,23111833 1S2.7M
It will bo observed that the counties of the
state , and Incidentally the county treasur
ers whom Mr. Meaerve In his recent speech
declared "wore getting away with the
money , " were obliged to help make the
showing for which the elate officials now
take all the credit upon themselves. A fur
ther examination of the school fund figures
for 1697 shows that two of the Items that
helped to make up the apportionment for
the year were as follows.
Interest from school lands Fold $29S,015.2 :
Interest from xchool lands leased. . 115,27S.O !
Iilrlni ? on the Principal.
During the same year , 1897 , the counties
of the state paid In $701,791.12 as revenue
derived from the lease , Interest and sale ol
fichool lands , which Indicates that $258,470.Si
was from the sale of lands. This latter Item
went Into the 'icrraanent school fund and
helped to swell that fund. Mr. Mcserve and
his colleagues boast of their ability In In
creasing the permanent fund , yet they have
never been heard to admit that so much as
$288,170 came in during 1SD7 from the sale
of lands alone. In making such an admis
sion , they would be unablu to claim thai
those sales were made ns the result of thelt
"good management , " or that they wore di
rectly responsible for having made tht
money come In , to they avoid tht brancli
of the subject. They take the credit of tht
Increase In the fund , however. Indicating
to the public that It has been "saved" from
some unknown and unspeakable source.
In connection with this subject of collec
tions for the school fund , It Is well to state
that Land Commissioner Wolfe took The
Bee correspondent to task a few days age
becatiBu of the story about Edmlsten's
school land deal , and In the course of his
remarks the land conlmlsslonrr said thai
Us office was not responsible for this steal
Ho said that the county treasurer of Dawson -
son county leased the land to the man Dunn
who assigned the lease to Edmlatcn the samt
clay , anil that if Edmlsten connived will
anybody It WUB not with the commission
' of this statement
er's office. The Importance
ment Is that It is the llrat time. Mr. Wolfe
has ever given a county treasurer the crcdll
of leasing any land. The burden of the talfc
heretofore has been that the land commis
sioner has leased all the lands since his
Induction Into office , and that he nlono U
entitled to the credit. Now In laying the
blatno of the deal whereby Edmlsten avoided
paying his back rent at the doors of the
county treasurer ofypawsou , the commis
sioner conveys the welcome news to the
public that the county treasurers are still
able to make occasional leases.
Concerning the Hlnto Appropriation
The state officials In their "place and ap
plause-seeking" tours over the state are stll !
making the statement that the penltentlarj
under their control has been selt-sustalnlnt
and some of them have been heard to saj
that for the last ten months the Institu
tion has only cost the state only $150 pel
month. In order that there might be nc
mistake In this matter and that the travel'
Ing state officials may have some furthei
figures to explain to the constituents , an
other examination has been made of the
records nnd It Is found that since Januarj
1 , 1897 , there has been drawn from the
fund appropriated by the 1S95 legislature
$19,424.51 and up 1o date from the 1897 ap
propriation there has been drawn $16,093.38 ,
with a number of vouchers for the lasl
month not yet having been entered on tht
books. These expenditures have been from
the maintenance fund alone and during tht
pamo time the Institution has bjen drawing
steadily upon six smaller appropriations ,
All this has been In addition to the amount
earned by the labor of the prisoners , which
has also all been expended.
The vouchers for the support of the Home
for the Friendless for the last fifteen months
are now on fllo with the state auditor and
while ho has not yet approved them ho Indi
cates that ho will obey the order of the su-

GRAND ISLAND , Neb. , Oct. 5. ( Special. ;
-Tho bheep raising industry In Hall anc
Buffalo counties Is reaching wonderful pro
portions since the passage of the tariff bll
nnd falls for the Investment of a largi
ninoiiiit of rap'tal. That the business pay :
In evidenced by the fact that those wh <
raised or nought and fed fhecp hero las
year are engaging more extensively In thi
sheep business this year.
Robert Taylor , who has established ;
ranch of 10,000 ncren about seven mllci
northwest of Grand Island , Is now known ai
the "Mutton King , " as he Is said to owr
a larger number of sheep than any othe :
Individual in the United States. Mr. Tay
lor Is a sheep raiser Instead of a speeu
lator. Ho has established large breedlm
ranches in Wyoming , and now owns 90.001
head of sheep , most of them of thorough
bred or high grade stock. The ranch li
Hall county Is fitted up to handle CO.OOi
head , most of which are now on hand here
To get this ranch In chape to handle thi
business Mr. Taylor has put up new build
Ings at a total cost of $30.0-00. This Jin
clinics a feeding shed 120 by 2SS feet in size
another flS by 112 feet and numerous smalle
ones ; a double crib , 84 by 220 feet In size
with a capacity of 40,000 bushels of corn
a storage house 34 by 200 feet , with full slz
basement , which will be filled with beets.
Resides these there are largo barns am
houses , water tanks , flipping plants am
other conveniences , making up what U con
sldcrcd to be the moat complete sheep rand
In the entire country. The buildings ar
all substantially built , the fo-called shed
being soliJy enclosed buildings , lighted b ;
windows and roofed with sheeting and gal
vanlud Iron roofing. In the construction
of new buildings this year alone Mr. Tay
lor has used forty cars of lumber , four car
loads of hardware and roofing The nev
fencing bought also amounted to four car
loads.
This mammoth ranch employs forty hand
and requires the use. of forty head of horsed
A largo number of bogs nnd many mile )
com are also kept. The Intention o th
owner Is to seed the entire 10,000 ncres to
alfalfa. The acreage In alfalfa this year
was about COO and about 1,000 Ions of the
season's cut 1s stored for winter use.
The buildings on the ranch are most of
them finished and nil will be completed
before November I. Everything Is con
structed on the most substantial and con
venient plan. An Insurance policy was re
cently taken out In one of the big eastern
companies , nnd , covering the buildings , ma
chinery nnd stock on the ranch , which Is
said to be the largest risk ever taken In
a single policy In this part of the western
country. The amount named In the policy
Is $80,000 nnd the premium paid was over
$1,300.
Just across the line In Duffalo county la
another mammoth sheep ranch , where > a
largo number of sheep were fed last year
and where arrangements have been made to
purchase 1EO.OOO head from the western
ranges nnd feed them through the winter.
The net profit on a transaction of this sort
Is figured nt 10 cents per head for the
feeding season , Instlng less than Qvc months ,
making a total profit of $60,000. When the
provisions of the tariff bill leads to the In
vestment of so much money , the employment
of so runny hands and the clearing of such
handsome profits for both the large and
small feeders all over the state , much won
der Is expressed that there should be any
In Nebraska so shortsighted as to vote'for
n free trade party at the coming election
and thus strike a blow at this Immense
Industry.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. With Improsslvo
ceremonies the triennial council of the
1'rorestant Episcopal Church of the United
States opened at 11 o'clock this morning at"
that old landmark of Episcopal worship at
the national capital Epiphany church. The
cessions , beginning today , have a far-reach
ing Interest and Importance to the Eplscoptl
organization of the country , and Indeed to
the church world at large , for , aside from
the distinguished personnel of the bishops ,
clergymen and laymen , the subjects which
will engage the attention of the t\so govern
ing bodies of rho church have a present and
vital Interest to the church In g.'ueral , anil
to the Episcopal church In particular.
A great concourse of people gathered for
the opening services , far exceeding the ca
pacity of the clnych , nnd overflowing Into
tha adjacent street ! . Conspicuous In the
throng were the silver-haired , black-garbed
bishops forming the house of bishops , the
chief governing body of the church. The
actual participants In the council , Including
bishops , clergymen and laity , was so great
some 600 or more that but little space re
mained for the congregation not ofllelally
connected with the proceedings.
Insldo the chancel were arranged tha
seats of the bishops. Immediately In fronl
of the chancel were the seats of the
surpllccd choir of fifty-five voices while the
body of the church was occupied by the
clergy and laity , a few pews still remaining
for the eager crowd. Notable among the
lay delegates were observed Chief Justice
Fuller of the United States supreme court
of the lay delegation from Chicago ; J. Pler-
pont Morgan , William Dayard Cutting
Francis Llnde Stetson , and Captain A. T.
Mahan , representing New York ; Ocorgo C.
Thomas and S. Iltddle of Philadelphia , while
the clergy was represented by many promi
nent In the church work of the country , In
cluding Rev. Morgan Dlx of New York , who
will probably odlclatc as presiding officer
of the house of clergy and lay delegates.
I'urinnl Opening of Conference ,
Promptly at 11 o'clock the strains of the
great church organ and the mixed voices of
the choir floated through the edifice , Initiat
ing the council with the Imposing entrance
of the bishops. Following the choir came
the stately body of ecclesiastics occupying
the highest places In the churches. They
entered according to their length of service
as bishops , walking In pairs to the chancel
The venerable Rt. Rev. J. Wll-
( tams of Connecticut , the patri
arch of the body , was necessarily
absent by reason of his advanced age am
Infirmity , and EO , too , was Bishop Clark of
Rhode Island. First In point of service
came that white-haired pillar of t'ho Epis
copacy , Rt. Rev. Dlshop Whlpple of Minnesota
seta , somewhat bowed with his years of
eminent service In the church , but still
vigorous In action and strong In intellect
To the white robes and wide black collar ol
his olflce were added the crimson academic
hood , hanging like a cape down his back and
the purple- cap of the senior presiding bishop.
Following him came Dlshop Wllraer of Ala
bama , Dlshop Neeley of Maine , Dlshop Tuttle -
tle of Missouri , Dlshop Whittle of Virginia
and the other heads of the church , the young
and new members of this high office closing
the procession.
Dlshop Whlpple conducted the service and
In fervent tones led the opening prayers.
Then followed the service of the Episcopal
church , Dlshop Neeley reading the eplsl'le ,
Dlshop Wllmer the gospel and all the bishops
uniting In repeating the creed. Rev. Dr.
McKIm of Epiphany made the announcement
of Dr. Williams' absence and that Dishop
Whlpple would preside over the assemblage
of bishops until a presiding officer was
chosen. The business sessions of both
houses were announced to begin at 3:30 : p
m. Dlshop Tuttle of Missouri then asccndc.
the pulpit and delivered the sermon.
