(From a BtaCC Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Bept a. (Special.) A move
ment, has been started In the west end of
the atate to have the next legislature
change the present normal school system
so the normal schools of the state will be
under the direction and control of the Btate
university, and to repeal the law enacted
by the late legislature for the erection of
the new normal school at Kearney. Just
iiow far alone; the .movement Is and Just
who are at the head of It -is not known
here now, but the principal talk comes
from Central City. The schema la to bring
Injunction proceedings to stop the building
of the school at Kearney and thus get the
matter in, the court. This, Is to be kept
up until the legislature convenes, when It
Is hoped by the dissatisfied parties that the
law can be repealed and the entire normal
school system changed.
Information was received Here today that
somo kind of proceedings would be started
by October S, and that the plans were be
ing prepared for a long siege in the courts.
It Is not known here Just how strong the
opposition is to the Kearney normal, but
one member of the board is of the opinion
that the suit will surely be brought
The first talk of dissatisfaction regarding
the location of the school came from Has
tings, but some time later it was attempted
there to get the citizens to take the bonus
they had offered for the normal and endow
the Hastings college and allow the normal
to go glimmering. .
In the meantime Treasurer Mortensen is
strenuously denying a report in a St. Paul
paper that he had deliberately turned down
that town after two members of the board
had offered to vote for it if he would. The
paper believed that the town should have
received better treatment at the hands of
the. treasurer, as it la his neighbor. Mr.
Mortensen said there was no truth in the
report. k
Killed by Street Car.
Harland Whyman, aged It years, was
killed about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon by
being strnck by a street car at Fourteenth
I and O streets. , He was going north on a
blcyclo and as he turned on Fourteenth
street and O his wheel struck an obstruc
tion and he was pitched In front of a
motor car going west. The front of the
car struck the boy in the temple, crushing
In a large section of his skull, from which
a portion of his brains flowed out into the
street The car rolled him over and over
before it could be stopped and his chest and
sides were also badly bruised and crushed.
Dr. Speelman, who witnessed the acrl-
(Sent rushed to the boy's- assistance, had
him carried to the City hospital, near
there, and did ell he could to save his
life, but the boy breathed his last as he
was being placed on the -operating table.
The body was removed to the Roberts un
dertaking rooms and an Inquest will be
held.
According to those who witnessed the
tragedythe motorman did all In his power
to stop the car, but the distance was short
and he was unable to do so. Whyman was
coming down Fourteenth street at a high
rate of speed and in going onto O street
turned suddenly to avoid a crowd stand
ing therei . '
He was the son ot Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Vhy mart 1731 M street;' and was a student 1
at the high school. His father Is in the
employ of an Investment company and Is
now at Stuart, Neb. The mother waa
prostrated with the death of her son and
is now confined to her room.
Convict Makes Escape.
E. L. Simon, a convict at the state peni
tentiary, la roaming around the country
somewhere and Warden Beemer Is again up
in the air over the slowness of the con
tractors for the new steel cells. Simon was
allowed to roam outside of the walla for a
little while and he Is still roaming, leaving
a year behind him. He had been sent up
from Saunders county for trying to take a
shot at a tenant with whom he had trouble,
This episode, coming close on the heels of
the walkout of Wardlow, has caused the
penitentiary officials to double-lock every
door on the place and get their nerves on
edge, for it Is feared that If the convicts
Should make a grand rush all together they
could escape, as so many of them have to
te kept In the large cell room because of
f Jte nonarrtval of the other cells.
Dybro . Wants a Horse.
Albert Dybro resorted to the courts today
to recover a horse that he lost a few even
ings ago by not being a better pool plnyer.
Dybro Is the foreman In the White Ele-
phant,stablea and while, discussing his abil
ity as a pool player with Jack Davidson, a
friend, he incidentally offered to bet a
horse that he could beat Davldsvn at tho
game. The horse was describil and the
bet was made and the game was played
.. Dybro lost and then he and Davidson went
I to supper together, neither mentioning the
1 horse. Davidson then took a short cut back
to the stable and got Mr. Horse without
the knowledge of Dybro. It waa located to
day in another stable and possession was
secured by a writ of replevin. Dybro
claimed that he was only Joking about the
bet
Shaking t p on Police Force.
A general shaking up I going on in the
police department these days and Just what
.Is causing It no one seems to know. This
x morning Tony Harr. one of the oldest men
en the force, and Hans Roegh handed In

Answers Description of
Madison.
HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. a. (Special Tel
egramsThe hunt for Tom Madison, the
alleged murderer, is apparently abandoned,
as all posses have returned and Sheriff Mc-
Arthur of Webster county and the Smith
county (Kan.) sheriff cannot be located. The
fugitive Is still at large and the scene of ac
tion la now In the vicinity of Shlckley,
where it Is reported that Madison was seen
at noon today. Mr. Harris, a well known
and reliable farmer who lives three-quarters
of a mile south of Shlckley. while en
route home from Davenport today, saw a
suspicious looking character In a cornfield
about six miles south of Shlckley. As the
man in the field saw Mr
Harris ne ran
down into a ravine, where a lone horse
waa gr axing, and soon disappeared. Mr.
Harris thought the man acted most
atrangely, but as hs had not read any
newspapers for several days he was not
familiar with the hunt for Madison. When
he reached home Mr. Harris found among
his mall a card offering a reward for the
capture of Tom Madison, and the card also
gave a description of the fugitive. As soon
as he had read the description he was con
fident the man he had seen Irr- the corn
field was the hunted fugitive, as every Ce-
tall tallied exactly-with the person he had
seen sneaking through the field, and the
horse he had seen In the ravine answered
the description of one of the horses stolen
from the McConkey farm four miles west
of Cowles
Mr. Harris drove to Shlckley Immediately
to notify the constable of that place, but
the officer was out of town and could not
be located. Then an effort was made to
notify the sheriff from Webster county and
gmItn county but nether could be
. . . . . . .
located by telephone or telegraph. By this
time the people of 8hlckley became much
excited and arrangements were being made
for the organization of a posse, but It soon
fell through for lack ot a leader. There
does not seem to be any doubt in the minds
of the people of Shlckley but the man seen
by Mr. Harris was Tom Madison, the much-
hunted fugitive.
While the foregoing has been taking place
apprehension has been again aroused In
Cowles that the fugitive Is still lurking In
that vicinity. This morning a farmer by
the name of Btrubble found a letter In his
private box on the rural delivery route ad
dressed to Miss Sarah Deason, Mnrtlns-
ville, Harrison county. Mo. With the letter
was found S cents, evidently for postage.
As all the farmers along that road have
boxes of their own, the Incident provoked
suspicion, especially since Madison ts orig
inally from Missouri and has relatives
there. Inquiries all along the line failed to
reveal anyone who had knowledge of the
letter. Many of the Cowles peoplo think
that Madison has run the risk of writing
to friends In Missouri to come to his as
sistance. The address is written In lead-
pencil, in vertical hand and course, plainly
the writing of a man.
NEW CHURCH IS DEDICATED

Otrnctnre.
WEEPING WATER, Neb., Sept. H.--Spe-
ajal.) The dedication of the First Metho
dist Episcopal church of this place accurred
yesterday and was a memorable one. From
9 a. m. until 10:30 p. m. there was a feast
of good things. Governor Mickey lead the
love feast in the morning and Chancellor
Huntington followed with a sermon. After
the sermon it was announced that there
waa a balance of J2.5O0 to raise to clear the
church of debt. The amount was subscribed
In a short time. At 2:30 a boys' and girls'
meeting was held and addressed by the
governor and chancellor and others. At
1:30 several addressee were made to the
pioneers.
The dedication of the church then took
place, and also of the Grand Army of the
Republic memorial window, the latter by
the old soldiers, assisted by Company D.
The young people's rreetlng in the even
Ing was addressed by Rev. William Bales
of Falrbury. and following same the ad
dress, subject, "Character Building," from
the text, "As a man thlnketh In his heart
so is he, by Governor Mickey.
Overflow meetings were held in the Con
gregational church, addressed in the morn
ing by Rev. Balch, and in the afternoon,
platform meeting, "Christian Education,'
Chancellor Huntington and Governor
Mickey. In the evening a sermon by Rev,
T. A. Hull of Dorchester.
The Methodist brethren feel very proud of
the day s program and work. They are
proud in the possession of a re-constructed
church that is much larger, an object of
beauty and of pride to the cltlsena. Rev,
Worley, the present pastor, has worked
faithfully In conjunction with the members
for the enlargement ef the building, and the
result at a cost of 15.600, iuiiy paid, speaks
well for their untiring efforts.

Polities Warming: f p In Dodge. '
FREMONT, Neb., Sept. 21. (Special.)
Burleigh Walker of Cotterell township has
withdrawn his declination to run for county
assessor on the republican tlckej and will
make a vigorous campaign for that post
tion. Candidates for bothi partleo are mak
Ing close canvasses and the propects are
that the number of republicans In the
court house will be increased after January
1. The socialists held a meeting here last
week and a socialist ticket Is among the
probabilities. It is doubtful, however. If it
will cut much of a figure in the campaign,
although they claim to have received sev
eral additions to their numbers in this city
since last fall. There are a few socialists
in North Bend and In Webster and Pebble
precincts. The death of C. C. Beverldge
has removed about the only active prohibi
tionist party worker in the county and that
party will poll less than fifty votes.
Cannot Have Preliminary.
PLATTS MOUTH, Neb., Sept 21.-(Spe-
clal.) In the case of the State against John
Chambers, Justice Archer this morning
overruled the motion of the defendant's at
torney to set aside the former ruling of
the court and grant the prisoner a prelim
inary hearing. The court held that the
statute relating to matters of this kind
did not authorize such procedure. Cham
bers was arrested at South Bend and stands
charged with the crime of dallght robbery.
At the time he waa arraigned he entered a
plea of not guilty, waiving preliminary ex
amination, and waa bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of 1500. Since that
time the prisoner has secured the services
of Judge A. N. Sullivan to defend him. The
defendant now seems confident that a pre
liminary hearing would result In his lib
eration. But unfortunately, he must now
awnlt his trial in district court, which will
probably be in November. '

1 l.Ult.l01A bill, il.W., DTUl, .17 ignQ.
clal Telegram.)-In the district court to-
day the case of the State agnlnst Arm
strong was called and the defendant plead
guilty to petit larceny. The case of the
State against John Woods will probably
not be called for trial this term, as one of
the principal witnesses for the prosecution
Is out of the state. After the disposition
of these cases the attorneys on both sides
for all the equity and civil cases waived
their right of Jury, having confidence in
the fairness of Judge Jessen. This mark
of confidence came as a surprise and
caused considerable comment, as it is the
first time in the history of the county
that so many cases have been left to the
)udge. Judge Jessen then discharged the
Jury for the term.

the Coroner is Investigating
the Clrrnmstaarea of the
Killing.
t
HARTINOTON. Neb., Sept. 21.-(Speclal
Telegram.) John Houser Is dead and Au
gust Schmidt is In Jail as a result of the
seme old story "didn't 'know It was
leaded."
Yesterday afternoon John Cyril and Peter
Hcuser went hunting and met Jess Ml!ler
snd August Schmidt, and the latter two
were asked to get In the rig and Join In
the hunt. After driving about a mile all
got out of the rig, when, according to the
story of the witnesses, August Schmidt
leveled his gun at John Houser, at the
same time remarking, "I'll fix you." The
gun was discharged and most of the con
tents took effect in Houser's neck, sever
ing the Jugular vein, death following about
two hours later.
