LINCOLN. May St. ( Special. ) It Is learned from nn nuthoritatlvo source that NorrU Drown of Kearney has decided not to be a candidate for congress In the Sixth district this fall , basing his decision on busltiCBH reasons nnd also on the fact that the campaigns of last year , this > car nnd again In 1UOO would entail an expense beyond his means. Mr. Drown thinks the district ean be carried this jc.ir by the republicans , nnd Is ready to do his part In the cam paign. A number of republicans of the Sixth dis trict are In the city tonight , and from them It Is learned that the names most often mcnton ( > d there arc these of P. M. Currlo of Broken Uow , Hcpresentatlvc Wllcox of North I'latto and Judge Klnknld of O'Neill. It Is a curious fact that the three tuslonlsts most prominent In the race for the nomina tion In the district are nleo from Broken IJow , North Pintle and O'Neill. Tuslon politics In the Sixth district lends to some odd situations , A prominent demo crat up thcro was overheard discussing the stand taken by Mlko Harrington of O'Neill. Ho said "Harrington will have to get In line If Holcamb In n candidate , and ho will have to tnke tlio stump for him In spite of the nntl-fualon talk. He owes Holcomb a lot of fnvors , bc-rniiBO of the number of his clients who were pardoned out of the peni tentiary " The speaker then went on to say that during llolcomb's Incumbency he Issued more pardons for men defended by Hnirlngton than for any other attorney In the state , nnd opined that It must have been done purely for political reasons. Cadet * to Co Into Camp. Next Saturday the cadets of the University of Nebraska will go to Ashland for a six days' encampment , returning Tuesday evenIng - Ing The students will arrive nt Ashland early Saturday ! morning1 , In time to arrange their camp ibefore neon. All members o ? the university tettallon lolik forward to the ! annual encampment , always held nt r nuir i the clcoe of Uhe school > ear , with n greaU deal of Joy , for during that time all carorf nnd thought of their ntudlcs and examina tions lire thrown aside While military discipline Is maintained In the camp , the cadets find numerous opportunities to evade the vigilancer > f the otllcers , and such oppor tunities artv always taken advantage of. Heretofore thj cadets have been required to account if or every 'hour of work required toy the university , and under this rule the cadets have 'been ' compelled to imakeup by extra work the ifour days' work lost whlln In camp. This year the conditions are dif ferent ind the students will TJO required to make up for only ono da > 's lost time Satur day , of course , Is always a holiday , and this year Tuesday , May 30 , being Dee-oration < lay , leaves only ono Hay actually lost. It ! usually very cAsy for the students to make arrangements with the professors for credit for time while In camp , but thosci students who /aro unfortunate enough to have professors who are more exacting will probably have toSvork a Httlo harder after they return from Abbland. From now untlj the close of thounlvorslty ' school year the'students' will have a gay time , marred only by the thought of the Inevitable examinations. The annual fes- thltlcs accompanying the Closing of school began last night , when the members of the two companies which won honors. 4n the competitive drill In the afternoon started out early In the evening to bedaub sidewalks , buildings , signboards and fences with red paint. The members of Company B , the vlctorloim company , were not successful In accomplishing very much In this ( line , for the reason that the student who carried the paint can and Ibrush was arrested early In the evening. This calamity to tho. 'B" men did not In any way dampen the spirits of the. meirtbera of Company -winners of eccomi piaco in ina ( competitive uriu. Tins morning the signs of the celebration stood out boldly on the state capital Ibulldlng and other prominent places. The two victorious , companies marchol single file through all the principal stores In the city , through the corridors nnd dining rooms of the various hotels and Inter past the residences oi different professors , in cluding Chancellor MacLean'ri house on II street.
