Price or Linroin, members of the eld exposltlm commlsslcn, met at (he Lincoln hotel thin morning and tendered their resignation to tho Kovernor. Commissioner Whlti of North Platte was not present, but It l tndersTttod he will endorse the action of I ths commisslorcrs. The commissioners be lieve that an adequate repr;irn a.lou of the a'ate resources can be placrd at th't St. Louis exposition with an appropriation of $50330 and with an additional 25.000 a building ran be erected and maintained. Th"y adopted the following reomnienda tlonj to be presented to Governor Mickey with their resignation!: W'f, the ur .dernlgned members of the Ne tirnska commission to the LoulMnna Fur ehnse exposition, hereby respccttully sub mit for your Information und considera tion foil Awn: Klrt We desire to Inform you that we were appointed as an emergency, passed when It was planned in hold ih exposition In UfC. 'the first reaol tlon passed by the. commls'on was, on motion of the late li'tnented J. Bterllng Morion, to the effect that this commission would not Ufk any ubllo appropriation for expenses to be nrurrert by It. I'econd All expense of this commission have bwn fully paid from donations by the commissioners, and there are no obllga tlcns outstanding against the commlsHlon of any kind whatever. Third The commission had done consid erate preliminary work In planning und preparing an exhibit of the resources) of this state when the announcement was mad that the exposition hnd been post poned until its "3. It wua then decided that this commission would do nothing further, but await the action of the preaent leg islature of this state, and If this legisla ture made an appropriation and provided for a commission to represent the etute nt the liulsiima Purchase exposition, the present commission ' Would deliver to the commission so to be appointed all materials and Information It had (fathered. Should lie Represented. Vnnrth I ( Itia 1 1 1 , i I ii r t t Vi I a pnmmla. elon that thin statu should be properly represented at this great exposition. Ne braska is, we believe, the richest part of til" territory of the Louisiana purchare, and within its bordr offers homes and Investments for thousands now located in lea fa v) red communities. To lose the op portunity f advertising the rich resource! of this state by a proper exhibit at the l-oulslana Purchase exposition would be i'nwlse and unprofitable. Aside from'thls reason, which appeals' to all business men who believe in the efficacy of advertising there ts another reason why this state cannot affrrd to fall to be represented at the exposition. In IS'JS an exposition was held In Nebraska. All the Mates of the union were Invited to attend and partici pate. Nearly every state, and territory west of the Mississippi river. Including the state of Missouri,, accepted our Invitation, and by the liberal patronage of these, our neighbors, the Transmlxslsstppt and Inter national exposition was made such a suc cess as to reflect great credit on Its pro moters snd on our great Mate. We do not believe that Nebraska can afford to fall to reciprocate, now that .Missouri has taken tho Initiative In an exposition which prom Ives to be the greatest that has ever been held. Fifth We believe that an adequate rep resentation of the resources of this state fan be made at the Louisiana Purchase ex- r eel Hon with an appropriation of $50,000, -r preparing, Installing and maintaining t.lls exhibit, and that a state building which '. ill meet all the requirements and necessi ties of the Inhabitants of Nebraska cpn be tacted and maintained at an additional ex- .

Getting; Dot of Way. i The members of the commission did not iek to deny that they t aslgned to get out t i the ray of ambitious persons who may work the harder for appropriation. ."Wo realised," said Mr. Wattles, "that.

He had cbme to Lincoln a few weeks before from the east and was preroded by cards an nouncing his marriage to Eugenia Kessler. The young ccuple boarded on South Thir teenth street, but Mrs. Herrmann was much dlrsatlsfled with the west and had gone back east when Herrmann died.

A week or ten days later a telenrara tame from her, addressed to Herrmann, anncunring thrt she would pass through that evening on her way to Den ver. She was met at th? train by friends and told of Herrmann's death. Immediately afterward the story became current that she was not legally married t) Bruno, and the latter's father, who re sides In Bonn, Austria, challenged In ecurt her right to be known as his wife. Fhe was never put to the proaf, however, as the relatives settled the matter between themselves. The only valuable asjet of Herrmann's estate proved to be a $10,000 Ufa Insurance policy that he had taken out six months before, but hnd not yet paid the first premium, the agent having accepted his note, due the day after he died. The compsny psld the policy, hut half of the proceeds went to pay debts and legal ex penses.

GETS THE ESTATE AFTER ALL Pliltumsuth Man Sectxres Money la Nolle nt Father's Effort to Disinherit Hint. PLATTSMOL'TH, Neb., Jan. 1 (Spe cial.) About one year ago Charles .'Jen nings, an employe In tho Burlington ahops here, departed for his old home In Ger many to claim a portion of the large estate left by his father. Connected with the case was a romantic Incident which was the principal cause for delay in gttlna; the matter seettlcd. Hennlngs left his home In the old country because of his love for a German girl. His parents were strongly opposed to the match, and one day the young man told them of his In tention to marry the girl. His father ex pressed his feelings in very plain terms, warning him that If he carried out his In tentions he would be banished from home and disinherited. This was discouraging to the son, although expected, but he was determined to marry the girl of his choice. A few days later he bade his folks fare well, saying that he was going to a town nearby to secure employment. About that time the girl also left the village, and when their parents heard from the couple again the7 were tn the United States and happily married. The father mentioned each of the six children In his will with the exception of Charles, giving each an equal share. Charles, however, succeeded In proving that he was a ion of the deceased and the court held that he was entitled to an equal share Ih the. others, which was $25,000. It Is expected that Hennlngs will return to this country within a few months. Walker Not Guilt? of Murder. CHADRON. Neb., Jan. 16.

PREFER CONDITIONS AS THEY ARE NOW Meeting- Is railed for Alliance on Monday to Take Aetloa oa the rending Senate Bill. ALLIANCE. Neb., Jan. 1. (Special Tele gram.) From conversations with range cat tlemen here It is evident that they are almost to a man opposed to the land leas ing bill Introduced by Senator Dietrich and agreed upon by the Nebraska delegation. While It -is probably true that the repre sentatives In congress have framed as lib eral a bill from the stockman's standpoint as they consider it possible to pass, there are many who prefer to allow conditions to remain as they are at present to the terms of this bill. One of the objections to the measure Is that the large stockmen want more land than this bill permits them to lease. Another Is that the terms of the lease are considered too stringent and the tenure likely to be interfered with at any time by parties who might assert they wished the land for homesteading purposes. A meeting has been called Inviting all the stockmen In the range country to as semble at Alliance on Monday. January 19, to take action regarding the pending bill.
