(From a Staff Correspondent.)
IJNCOLN, July 2S. Spccl!.) This after
noon the State Board of Education opened
tho bids for the new Mute normal. There
were fifteen towns In the race and the bids
ranged from the offer of a site made by the
people of Ai.MWorth to the mignlflcnt oflor
of 11,000 nuulo by the people of Hasting?,
where enthusiasm runs rampant in favor of
tho new normal school. Central City tads
the race north of the Platte river with an
offer of a Bite and W-,500 In cash, guaranteed
by the three banks of that city. The re
sult of the bidding has bejn to show the
bands of the various competing towns,
but the probablar, action of the board Is
left In the dark, although there Is a dis
position to believe tnat there will be some
trouble ahead for the 'towns south of the
Platte Because of the- evident disposition
to regard tho new institution as a North
Platte plum. Kearney offered a building
worth $91,000 and a site, but no cash, while
Aurora, Just south of . Central City, made
an offer of $35,000 cash with a site.
One very noticeable thing manifest about
the contest this afternoon was the fact
that the towns were all represented, not
only by their representative citizens but by
their most wealthy men. Many of the mem
bers of the delegations from the various
towns which crowded the office of the su
perintendent were solid, substantial bankers
who guaranteed the fulfillment of the
promises made by the delegations.
The towns from which bids received
were Alnsworth, Alliance. Ord, Long Tlno,
Fairfield, Lexington, Kearney, St. Paul,
Central City. Hastings, Holdredge, Aurora.
North Platte, Gothenburg and Broken
Bow.

school. The intention was to allow the
board to spend the money before the legis

make a formal appropriation. The In
ability to expend the amount paid In as a
bonus accounted for this offer. It also
offered a straight $10,000 cash bonus and

good attendance of those interested in

ay Holdrege will be visited. Then the

the remaining towns.
Fowler la Mneh Pleased.
"The result of this afternoon's work,"
said Superintendent Fowler this afternoon.
after the bids for the location of the new
normal school had been opened, "have been
ery gratifying to me. They demonstrate
that there has - been a great awakening
n the western part of the state In educa
tional matters. The bids serve to show not
only the public spirit of the cltlxens of the
western part of the state, but also the
desire for educational advancement.
The bids will aggregate about $500,000 in
value if the sites and public service offered
are added to the cash bids. Tho way In
which some of the smaller towns have
shown up speaks very much for the char
acter of their cltirens."
Governor Expresses Ills Satisfaction.
"The result of the bidding for the new
normal school," said Governor Mlcley this
afternoon, "demonstrates that a healthy
public sentiment exists in the west as woll
as In the east. A state where such rivalry
for the location of an educational Institu
tion is possible most be congratulated.
