(Speclal.)-Tbe free High school attendance proposition for country schools haa again been defeated In nearly every county In the state In fact, Do county has been heard from where It was not defeated. Last year the proposition was submitted In nearly all counties where It could be adopted and defeated In all but Douglas. "The school people of the state will soon begin to realize that although the cities and villages of the state are often too ambi tious to build up high schools with two, three and tour-year courses, the people of the rural communities, the farmers and ranchmen, desire no lot or share In them aatd Superintendent Fowler, commenting upon the defeat of the proposition. "The adjunct district proposition, however. Is atlll Isrgely misunderstood. It carried In Douglas county a year ago and no high schools have been erected there, nor will there be. The Independent rural school dls tricts are unaffected and will continue to be. No bonds have been voted and none are necessary. The adjunct district has no officers, no organization, no achool houses. no bonds. It simply opens up the existing high schools in the cities and villages to ths graduates of the country schools and their tuition Is paid by a county levy of 1 or 2 mills. The country school district remain the same, each self-governing, with board of three members, whether the county has an adjunct district for high school purposes or not." Control of Saline Lands. A decree was given In the district court today sustaining the law which gives the State Board of Public Lands and Build- Ings direct control of the saline lands of (he state. The validity of the act has long been In dispute, but so far as known has never before been passed upon In court. The decision Is by Judge Frost. The enabling act of congress, passed In 18(3, provided that all salt springs In the state, not exceeding twelve In num ber, with six sections of land adjoining or aa contiguous as may be to each, should be granted to the state for Ha use and when aelected by the governor were to be uaed or disposed of on auch terms aa the legislature might direct, and that thn Board of Public Lands and Buildings should have charge of the leaaing and aale of the lands. 8. W. Burnham of this city held a con tract with the board for the sale of one piece of land and the lease of another The Board of Educational Lands and Funds declared the contract forfeited. The con filet waa between ths enabling act and the constitution. The former provided that the lands should be disposed of as directed by the legislature and the constitution provided that the permanent achool fund ahould ba made up, among other things, of the proceeds of all lands that might be granted to the state, where by the terms and conditions of auch grant they were not otherwise appropriated. Judge Frost neid that the words "not otherwise spproprt ated," made a distinction In favor of the law In queatlon and so held. The nominees of the Lancaster county republican convention this afternoon took the preliminary step of their campaign by sleeting officers for the central commit tee. Those chosen are: John H. Stewart, chairman; Walter P. Dawson, secretary and Luther P. Ludden, treasurer. Mr. Dawson was re-elected, but the others are new officials. Headquartera will soon be opened. The first work will be In the organisation of the precinct workers. All the offices at the etatehouse were closed by Acting Governor Steele this aft moon In respect to the late H. C. Rus sell, ex-commlsstoner of public lands and buildings, whose funeral took place today In Schuyler. A delegation of Orand Army men of this city went to Schuyler this morning to attend the funeral.
