(From a Ftaff Correspondent.)
LiNCOLX.Aug. 1J. (8peclal.)-,Many oe
en punt i of ftata school Isnd ta Nebraska
rs anxious ta transform their teas con
tracts Into ssle eontraeu and thus become
owners of the land. A large number of ap
plications for permission to do this 'hare
keen presented tothe 'State Hoard of Edu
cational Lands and Funds and will ba taken
p for consideration at an adjourned meet
ing neit Tuesday.
V The land occupants realize that farming
or stock raising la Nebraska la a safe prop
palttoa. and hosts of those who have leased
land know that It Is cheaper for them to
buy the land at a fair appraised value than
pay the required per cent' and probable
bounty for merely temporary possession. '
Only those persons who own leases taken
out prior to 197 nay purchaie the land,
tender the old law a lease contract cou'd
be converted Into a sale contract at any
time, provided the appraised valuation and
tfual price offered net the approval of the
board. The legislature of 1897. however,
enacted a law taking this prtvll-ge out
of all future lease contracts. Thcss In for;e
prior to that time still stand good and may
be so converted with the. approval of the
board. -
The Idea of the legislature was to keep
lh land ta the possession of the state,
for It la conceded that more can be real
ised from it by leasing It than by telling. '
.. Hltta Only Paroled.
t It was explained In the governor's office
today that executive clemency' waa extended
to Rowland P. Hills, the ministerial bigs
mist of Washington county, Isrgely be
cause of the fact that be admitted on the
Und when testifying In hla own behalf
that be married his first wife la England
and thought because the ceremony was
ecretly performed and in pariah. In which
either of them resided, that It waa Invalid,
or no legal force or effect. Kills has been
paroled, and not pardoned, but he enjoys
full freedom with the single restriction that
lie must not go beyond the boundary lines
of the state. The ordinary conditions of a
parole are" that the beneftYlary shall eon
duct himself la a law-abiding manner and
report regularly to his employer, who must
n turn file 'monthly re porta -with the gov
ernor. L. A. Williams, editor of the Blair Pilot,
win act as sponsor and employer for Hills.
Ir. Wllllama.waa responsible for securing
bis liberation, and declares that be baa work
for .htta to perform,' Hills began suit for
divorce from-, his first wife several weeks
go. while sttll a convict, and It may be
that he bow intends to make the second
marriage legal. -
"I waa sitting la the executive office last
Saturday when the thought occurred to me
that I might succeed )n getting Hills out
it tit 5cs!ttsilsr7 ;s prslc " si!3 Hr
Williams today. "I notioed the governor was
hot busy and went in io talk to blm about
the case, i told htm the atory from be
ginning to end and aoon bad favorable
decision."
Hills' defense' In the prosecution was
that as the marriage waa secretly performed
. m foreign parish It waa net binding upon
blm and under thU impression he thought
st unnecessary to be divorced before mar-
. ry1r eecond time. , 1 . ,,......1 , ;.

OFFER FOR STREET RAILWAY
EarUra CgpitslitU BmuJ ta Bnj Hinaty
Out, oi tha Dollar.
LOCAL STOCKHOLDERS NOW CONSIDERING
While Jt Optlea Have Beea Rlvea
It Is Probable that Steele Will
a Pass late Haada
f Esateraers,
The Omaha street railway bas not been
sold to New Yorkers, no deal for sale to
take affect on September 1 has beea made.
no one holds an option on the stock and no
offer of II cents on the dollar haa been
made for It. All of these statements.
made In aa afternoon paper yesterday, are
untrue, but It is fact that the negotiations
for tbe sale of the property, which have been
under way for many months, are likely to
succeed tn the near future.
The New York banking bouse of J. and
W. Sellgman dt Co., as result of the long
drawn out negotiations, haa made an offer
ef 90 centa on the dollar for all or any
part of tbe stock of ths Omaha Street Rail
way company, and the local atockholders are
now considering that offer, with strong
probability that it will bo accepted. The
Sellgman firm ba no option on any of the
stock . and it Is ep to each and every
Individual stockholder to accept or reject
the offer, which was sent to them simul
taneously by the 8ellgmans laat Tuesday.
Frank Murphy, president, E. W. Nash and
Guy C. Barton, all of whom are heavy j
stockholders In the company, are now In the i
eaat. but It was said by . -their intlmats
business sssoclates last night that they
would likely accept the Sellgman offer for!
their holdings. Senator Millard said that hej
would be willing to part with bla stock in1
the street railway at 90 cents on the dollar,
and other heavy stockholders tn the city ex
pressed themselves likewise. So there
seems to be strong probability that the
property will pass from ths bands of
Omaha capitalists.
No data Is fixed by the Sellgman for the
withdrawal of their offer, and It will likely
remain open for reasonable length of
time. Tbe stockholders are expected to act
Individually and the passing of the stock
Into tbe bands of tbe New Yorkers may
drag along for some weeks. It la thought,
however, that most of the stock will be
transferred within short time.
Coasolidatloa Held Back.
Ths deal for the consolidation of tbe
Omaha and Council Bluffs street railways,
which was outlined in Ths Bee of August
and which ta all but completed, will now
be bold in abeyance, and If the Omahans
sell their stock to the Sellgmans It will
bo up to ths new owners to consummate
tbe merger.
Secretary W. V. Morse ' of th Omaha
Street Railway company aald:
"There I strong hops that the great
financial house of J. A W. Sellgman A Co.
may become Interested in tbe Omaha street
railway. It does not own share of the
stock today, neither does it hold an op
tion bn share, and so far as I know every
stockholder Is at liberty to do exactly what
be pleases with bla holdings. The Sellg
mana have merely made an offer of 04
cents on tbe dollar for ths stock. If the
deal goes through It will bring several mil
lions of eastern money to Omaha for new
Investments, because tbe Omaha men who
now own practically all of the street rail
way stock are not the kind of men who
ro likely to let their money rust. If they
ell their street railway holdings th money
they receive wlll.be ready for other in
vestments and Omaha be the gainer.
"The bouse of J. ft W. Sellgman Co. ta
on of the greatest financial, concerns in
tha world and It believes thoroughly In th
future of Omaha; benco- Its desire to be
come Interested in the street railway. If
this deal Is s go we will get parties Inter
ested In Omaha who will help make It the
leading city of th west."
Mr. Mors added that In ease th sal
la made th new owners will carry out tbe
piana of the present company for Improve
ment to cost about 11,000,000, as outlined
In Ths Be laat Saturday.
