(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Msy 3. (Special.) The state
Dfflclals are having tbelr ahnre of labor
trouble!, the threatened war of the Janitors
having broken out thin morning. The net
result la the resignation of F. McEfllott
aid rumors of other vacancies,
i The trouble commenced several days ago
when the janitors were ordered to dig up
the dandelions In the rapltol grounds. They
thought this was adding too much to their
work and thers was much talk of resigna
tions, but they compromised by going after
'the dandelions. This morning Janitor Mc
JElllott, a Boone county man, learned that
while be waa out gouging up the pests In
the lawn new man had been put at work
Inside the building. He thought the new
Itand should have been started on the out
aide work, so he handed In bis resigna
tion. Being questioned as to the trouble,
one of the other janitors complained that
Jfce commissioner had given them a certain
number of days to get the dandelions
cleaned out and had told them that If tbey
failed to have them out In time others
would be hired and the extra pay should
be taken out of the salaries of the regular
janitors. The men get $50 per month, and
It Is not believed that there will be any
general epidemic of resignations because
of the dlataste for outdoor manual labor.
Strike, at Mllford Home.
V In the meantime It la said that the gov
ernor has a strike on his hands at the MI1
ford home. Borne days ago he displaced
Mrs. Edwards, the head of the Institution,
jo make room for a woman from Hastings.
Mrs. Edwards had held over from the fusion
administration. The report Is that when she
went out the others all resigned. Secre
tary Clancy went to Mllford last night to
look into the situation and took with him
young woman who will assist the new su
perintendent until a regular corps of em
ployes can be secured.

copying the field notes of the original sur

iound In the work a report made by the
surveyor In September, 1885, where Wil

. Deputy aton of the land commissioner's
office has returned from his trip to Dixon
nd Dakota counties, after having made
leases of the several fractional tracts of
school land In that locality. The total
.amount of vacant land was about 600
acres, being mostly accretions from the
river. The average appraisement of this
lsnd waa $7 per acre, and for the most
part was taken by adjoining land owners
.to prevent It being settled on by squat
ters. Still Working for Primaries.
The meeting of the direct primary sys
tem, and the consequent action of the
county central committee declaring for the
old system, Instead of checking the move
ment, seem Instead to have stimulated it.
There Is much activity among those who
believe In the primary reform. It Is said
that a series of meetings may be held In
'the near future to discuss the proposed
changea, and It Is possible that candidates
for the legislature will make It a direct
issue in tbs county.
