(From a, Btatf Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept. 16.Sperlal.)-Tne fall
emester at the State university began this
doming". The flrat leasons will be given
out Saturday and the firm recltatlona will
be held Monday. Until then the executive
force of the university will devote Its
effort to registering and carina- for the
student. The registration rooms were
crowded alt day and the force had all It
could do to list the rtudents presenting
themselves for matriculation. For the first
time in the history 'of the Law college its
students were registered the opening week.
Usually the Law college doea not begin
until October, a month later than the
academic and other departments, but this
year all begin at the same time.
The rush la expected to continue for sev
eral days. No comparison with last year
can be made, because for the first two
days the number is only bounded by the
ability of the clerks to register them. The
good tlmea and the plentltude of money
among the farmers and tradesmen of the
mall towns is regarded as good grounds
for belief that the, attendance will exceed
that of any previous year, although Mr.
Crabtree of the business staff says that
the highest point In attendance was reached
at a time when the opportunity for em
ployment waa smallest.
Quarrel Over Paring.
A bitter quarrel U on between the prop
erty owners of three different streets in
the fashionable residence aectlon over
precedence In the matter of paving. Some
of the aggrieved gentlemen threaten to
carry It into court, a proceeding which
will tie up all of the districts so far as
any Improvement this fall Is concerned.
The council ban ordered C street, from
Eleventh to Seventeenth, pnved with as
phalt. This takes up every bit of available
money In the Intersection fund. B street
property ownere and persons living on
Washington between Seventeenth and
Twenty-third streets, each of which com
prises newly created districts. Insist that
their petitions were on file first and that
th council cannot lawfully pase them by
for any other section. The C street people
retort that their petition .was on file two
years ago, but because the council had no
money for intersections tney naa 10 wan
so lone that much property ensngea nanan,
In order to make It lawful they had to get
out new petitions. The , matter will be
aired In court if the quarrel Is longer
maintained. , , .
Retail Oroeere Here.
The annual meeting of the Retail Grocers'
&2sc!at!sn -was to have opened fit " Iln-
dell hotel this afternoon, but the number
In attendance was so small that It was ae
termlned to poetpone the program of exer
cises until tomorrow. The Omaha delega
tion did not appear, as was anticipated, but
word cam that a half hundred of them
would be here tonight and tomorrow morn
ing. The program consists of addresses of
welcome and a talk by President Coning-
bara of the association. J. S. Bishop of
Lincoln, one of the organizers of the asso
elation. Is down for an extended address
on a remodeling of the credit system and
other member are expected to add ome
suggestions a to bettering and strength'
enlng the organisation.
J. E. Williams of South Bend. Ind.. na
tlonal president, la expected tomorrow. A
big banquet will be one of the closing fea-
tures. The small attendance today waa
rather discouraging to the promoters, but
they look for many from out In the state
tomorrow. No towns have yet formally en
tered the race for- the location of the next
convention.
Adapt a Sew Rate.
At today' session of the supreme court
a new rule was promulgated by the clerk.
acting under Instructions from the Judges.
It reads:
"Hereafter no continuances will be
granted by thla court after the case Is once
on the call." '
Ever since the court has shown signs of
speedily catching up with the docket there
ha been a steady Increase in the numbT
of request for continuances. The court
has been much annoyed to find, after lay
ing out plans for a good term's work, half
of the cases set go by the board because
tome attorney Is not ready. Thla will not
be permitted In the future. The attorneys
dn't like the new rule very well, as they
Insist It I Impossible sometimes to tell so
far In advance a the making out of a call
whether their bualness will alwaya permit
them to be here. 8ome other case of
greater Importance may call them elaewhere
and they think the court will find it diffi
cult to enforce the new rule arbitrarily and
yet do the right thing.
The Miles will case, from Richardson
eounty, waa one of those that went over for
the term. So waa that brought by the state
against the Union Paclfls, in which the ref
treea reported favoring a dlamlssal.
The major portion of the morning sitting
waa devoted to memorial services In eulogy
of the late Oenlo M. Lambertson and Wil
liam Leeae. The full court snd commis
sion, with several scorej of the members
of the stat bar, were present. Resolutions
were presented by committees nsmed by
the court giving expression to the esteem
of the court and the Nebraska bar for the

to believe the statement, and It was not
until they went slumming and found mem
bers of their own churches in various dens
of Iniquity that they were convinced. The
shock waa so great to the clergy that they
are now going after various member of
their respective churches with a sword of
fire, and they have Juet decided upon defi

upon the removal of these things of Inde
cency and places of degradation. Rev. John
Power of the Episcopal church aald tonight
that the ministers had agreed to stand by
each ether and fight the thing to a finish
even If they lost every member of their
respective churches.

weekly crop summary:
The week ending September IS was unusu
ally cool throughout all districts east of
the Rocky mountains, more particularly In
the lake region, rentral vnllnys and gulf
states, with a general absence of rain or
only slight precipitation' In the greater part
of the area weat cf the Mississippi river,
although heavy rains occurred In portions
of Arkansas and Louisiana. Needed rains
fell In the Ohio valley, lake region, middle
and south Atlantic state, effectually re
lieving the drouth conditions In those dis
tricts. More or less damaging fronts occurred on
the 12th, 13th and 11th throughout the
northwest, central valleys and lake region
and as far south as Arkansas, and the
northern portions of Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia. The north Pacific coast
states continue to need rain, but In the
others the conditions along the Pacific
coast were favorable.
Late Corn Damage.
Late corn has been seriously damaged by
heavy frosts over the northern portion c'
the corn belt, more .especially to the west
ward of the Mississippi river. Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas es
caped Injury, except In the northern por
tion, where late corn was damaged In
Iowa, northern Nebraska, the Dakota, Min
nesota and Wisconsin early corn has been
seriously Injured. It la estimated that more
than one-half of the crop of Iowa and South
Dakota was too far advanced to be seriously
hurt, but the bulk of the remainder hns
been badly damaged. Much corn has been
cut over the southern portion of the corn
belt, where a fine crop is assured.
The weather conditions have been favor
able for threshing spring wheat throughout
the principal spring wheat states except In
North Dakota, where high winds have in
terrupted this work to some extent
Cool Weather llnrts Cotton.
The very cool weather has checked the
opening of cotton In the central and west
