(From a 6ta(t Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dee. 6. (Special.) Stat
house officials who expect to do business
for the state after January 1 are all In a
flutter. Trom one entl of the building to
the othrr an1 between ends and In every
nook and corner there la something doing.
The cause of all this unusual activity la
the propoaed onslaught of the Women'e
Suffragist association. The women expect
to establish and maintain headquarters
here during the session of the legislature,
which headquarters. It Is said, will be the
hottest lobby that ever lobbied.
The news was officially reported to the
atate house today, and as the young woman
who announced It went from office to office
ahe left behind her a wondering, startled,
gasping array of cfflce holders. Chairs that
had been dusted an hour before were re
touched with silk handkerchiefs, annual re
ports were forgotten and contracts were
made with local florists. After three pre
ltralnarles a consultation was called and la
still In arssloa to decide what should be
done to entertain or at least win the good
will of the new lobbyeee. The program Is
atlll Incomplete, but this much has been
decided upon. Dick O'Neill, who wants to
be something before the legislature ad
Journa, waa made the official entertainer.
This honor was dene Mm, as he failed to
attend the meetlna at Tecumsch, becautse
the train was late. H. A. Babcock. who Is
good at figures, will be the official guide
and. with Miss Greg, will escort the
women hither and thither. Governor Sav
age and Treasurer Btuefer, If they are
here when the delegation arrives, will be
Invited to sing "Back to the Woods." J.
L. McBrlen. because he Is alleged to be
handsome, and Dr. Thomas, because he ap
preciates a Joke, will be a part of the en
tertainment cotrjait tee. And from now un
til they get her the women are the most
talked of by state house doings.
Fowler'. Report Sot Ready.
The report of State Superintendent of
Schools Fowler will not be ready for sev
eral days, but there Is enough of It ready
to show that there has been something do
ing In the school line In Nebraska during
the year. The report will ahow that the
average salary paid to teachers has been
materially Increased, In many counties sev
eral dollara a month. The centralization
of schools, which the state superintendent
would like to see In fact rather than
theory, is growing slowly, so much so in
fact that it can scarcely be noticed, but
nevertheless It is believed the growth Is
sure.
Mr. Fowler expects much good to be ac
complished at the meeting of the State
Teachers' association here from December
SI to January 2, inclusive. Muojj valuable
time Is expected to be saved by the new
manner of enrolling. The teachera. If they
deslrt.. may enroll before they come to Lin
coln. This Is to be accomplished through
tha county superintendents.
Gets More Than Ita Dae.
Nebraska will not get that 5 per cent
of the proceeds Irom the sale of Indian
'anda by the government. . whtcb It has
ao long wanted and expected. "In He re
port of Attorney General Prout, filed with
the governor this morning, the attorney
general cloaes his correspondence with the
Interior department In regard to the claim.
The deportment Informed Mr. Prout that
Nebraska had been given $27,043.99 as a per
cent of the proceeds of ale of Indian lands,
which the state should not have received,
and therefore the state will get no more.

Refosea 1'ardona.
The appeala for executive clemency made
by friends and relatives of P. C. Richards
and John Fager, who are now serving terms
la the state penitentiary, have fallen on
deaf eara. At the governor's office this
morning It was announced that the state
executive would not Interfere and that the
men would ba compelled to serve out
their terma. Fager waa aent up tor life
for debauching his own daughter and
Richards was given a twelve-year term last
' spring for assaulting Ills stepdaughter.
Much pressure had been brought to bear
on the governor for pardona.

on a confidence game. While waiting at
the Burlington depot he met a man who
was going to Arapahoe, which was Horton's
home, and who claimed to be a real estate
agent. He had a valise at the telegraph
office with plenty of money In It,, but It re
quired $14 to get It out. Horton had $15.50.
Together they repaired to the Fraternity

New Corporations.
The Tldball-Mash Lumber and Supply
company of Lincoln haa tiled articles of in
corporation with the secretary of state. Tha
attitude toward parochial schools, Mr. Fow
ler stated this morning that he neither
wished nor desired to interfere with the
management of parochial schools. He
simply desires, he said, that they measure
up to the standard of the weakest of the
district schools.
The following ruling made made by Mr.
Fowler over a year ago occasioned the talk
that he was discriminating unfairly against
parochial schools:
In cpse exemption Is claimed on account
of attendance at a private or parochial
school aa provided In thla law. or on ac
count of attendance upon rultable Instruc
tion elsewhere given, the public school In
the district where rjch person may live
must be the standard of requirements in
order to meet the demands of this law.

attendance or compulsory education law
which requires children to attend school a
certain number of days during the year
two-thirds the number of days that the
public school must be maintained by law
In the district. In many districts of the
state the law does not require children to
attend school more than forty days during
the year. In many other districts it Is
eighty days, and In the largest cities of the
state the attendance need not exceed 120
days. Now, the question is simply this:
Can a child's attendance at one of these
parochial schools where the English lan
guage Is not spoken be credited to him for
the required number of days that he must
attend school during the year? Of course.
If a child attends the public schools four
months in a district with less than 100
children, he may attend the parochial
school where a foreign language la apoken
exclusively the other eight months If ha
wsnts to and no objection can be made.
