LINCOLN, Neb, Btpt. 24. SredaI.
Students of the state university are not
getting their text books at coat aa pro
vided In the statutes, simply beesmse the
regents of the university are' not carrying
out the law. Section 16 of subdivision IS
of the laws of the state university read:
Text Hooka Aid to Students. The regents
shall procure ail text books to be used In
the university, and fhall furnish them to
students at cost. The regents may, upon
proper evidence of the good character of
any student, and hla or her ambition to
acquire an education and Inatmiry to pro
vide hla or her own means therefor, donate
to such student all text books he or she
may need. and. by a two-thirds vole, may
appropriate money to pay other expenses
ror sucn srnaent; rrovtaea. sucn eruaeni
will render Immediate equivalent in per
sonal service for such appropriation, or
give a sufficient obligation that he or she
will reimburse the regents within five
years.
This law has never been enforced and
the students are wondering why,
J- Teeters, a member of the board of
regents said yesterday: "I don t know
"at tna law nas aver neen enioroeu, m
have never done anything about it simpiy
because the legislature failed to make an
appropriation to carry It out. Wa would
have to employ some one to loos alter
the work and we have not the money with
which to do this. The question has been
often discussed, but we are powerlers to
do anything until an appropriation is
mads for thla purpose.'
Probably there la a way that the regents
can furnish those books at cost even If
there Is no specific appropriation made for
the purpose. At least a number of persona
who ouarht to know seem to think so. in
the section relating to the temporary unl
verslty fund In section IS ef the same sub
division It reads
All mnnevs accrulns? to thla fund are
hereby appropriated for the maintenance
of the university. Including buildings and
permanent Improvements, ana tne eame
may bo applied by the Board of Regents to
any and all university needs, except the
Income from donations mnde for particular
purposes, which Income shall be used and
applied as nereinDerore speciiiwi oniy.
Hsrsud Board Finds ay
The question Is whether the university
hook store Is a need of the university.
Based on the action of the State Normal
board In securing books for the Normal
school the university book store Is cer-
talrily a need of the Institution. The Nor
furnishing of text books ana a pian was
adopted whereby the surplus of the library
fund was to be used for the first purcnase
of books to be owned by the state. These
books are to be sold to the students at
oost or to be rented. Just as the student
elects. This plan makes the book library
self-sustaining because If a book costs tl
and Is good for five years, at the end or
each year the state will buy It back from
the student at a discount of 20 cents. In
other words, the book would be rented for
2fl oents a Tear.
If this method of securing books for tns
State Normal school is a good thing then
It Is argued by tha studonts ths law reiat-
Ing to the books for the university must
. thin k wen Known auinoriir
said there was no question but that money
from the temnorary university fund coma
be used by the regenU to secure the books.
At Mercy of Dealers. (
At thla time the students are at the
merer of the dealera and If the dealers
c&r to go Into a combine to keep up prices
the student Cannot help ramseu. xio
to have the boose ana ne naa m par
them. Many of tho docks are now u
sold at prices greatly in exoese
the list price and the excuse offered the
students is that freight ratea are higher.
Recently a student bought an engineering
book that was listed at 83.75. It cost him
84-80. German readers that are listed at
36 cents are sold for ,46 cents, i nai tne
dealers are maKing proms tnai are
all reason of legitimate traae is provea oj
little Incident that recently occurred. A
student wanted to buy some fine tools and
was told by the dealer they would cost him
85 a set. He made a canvas of the studenta
and got orders for fifty sets, tie tnen
bought the tools from the wholesale dealer
and sold them to the students at less thn
14 a set and by the deal made over ISO
clear money. He secured a discount of
20 per cent from the Hat price, then a sec
ond discount of 10 per cent and ft final dis
count for cash.
Another way In which the university book
store would be a good thing for the stu
dent would be In the exchange of books.
A student bought a book for 86 and after
using It several months tried to exchange
It. He was offered 66 cents for It by the
dealer. If the university book store waa
started and the law waa enforced the stu
denta have figured that It would be a
saving to them of at least 25 per cent on
their purchases. The regents if they wanted
to take the trouble to carry out the law,
could buy their books frpm the wholesale
dealers In Just the same way that school
districts do.
One member of the Board of Regents
doesn't seem to think the law would bene
fit the students to any great extent be
cause he believed the competition among
book dealers is so close that the prices
are as low as they could be. Neither does
he believe In the exchange of books be
cause he fears It would spread the bubonlo
plague or some other disease, which would
be a great deal worse than the paltry sum
saved the parents of the students. Many
of the students are interested and it may
be that the suit will be brought to see
whether the regents can advance the
money for the books and to pay some one
to take charge of the matter -without a
specific appropriation.
Franklin Fair a Success.
FRANKLIN, Neb., Sept. 24.-(Sperfal
Telegram.) Today was the second of the

porary hall for farm products. The textile

fine and deserve special mention, also the
school exhibits show a high standard of
school work being done In the county. Tha
race track was In fine condition and there
were some very close races, although the
time was not extra fast. Ths livestock
exhibit baa not been alighted and ahowa
much pains and time haa been put in In
preparing It In the neighborhood of forty
concessions have been granted to midway
attractions, stands, etc., and they are reap
ing a harvest. Excellent mualo waa fur
nished by the Ladles cornet band, which
Is composed of twenty-five members. The
fair management Is to be congratulated
upon the way they have handled thla large
crowd, not an accident having occurred
and the program carried out aa advertised
to the letter. Tomorrow will be the clos
ing day and a new program baa been ar
ranged. Child Scalded te Death.

CRUSHES
THE LIFE
The most loathsome and repulsive
things is the serpent, and the Truest
degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The serpent
6inks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through
the entire body. Contagions Blood Poison, beginning with a little nicer,
soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the whole
system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper col
ored splotches brealc out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated,
and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms are mild compared to
the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease
when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It is then that
Contagious Blood Poison is seen ia all its hideousness. The deep eating ab
scesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole 6ystem is corrupted
and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its
coils and crushes out the life. The only antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S.
Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash, dry up the sores and drive
in the disease, but do not cure permanently.
Send for our home treatment book and write us if in need of medical advice
H special information. This will cost you nothing.

From a Grain Maa.
The following letter haa been received by
the committee:
As wc understand that you have been ap
pointed on a committee by tha Real Estate
exchange of this city to investigate
Omaha s advantages as a grain market, we
take the liberty to call your attention to
the fact that vie are transecting a general
elevator end grain bualneas at this point,
handling in the nel hbortihod of
bushels annually. Tln-re la no point In the
entire went that Is better situated than
Omaha for the handling and forwarding of
grain. The territory from which she can
draw her supply la unsurpaswed. and there
are enough trunk lint's oonvergmg at this
point which v.-lll permit of resbipment to
all points of the compomi.
As far as grain rates are concerned
Omaha Is grossly discriminated agolnst by
nearly all lines pausing through the city,
specially so by those lines whose natural
terminus Is Chicago. What Omaha re
quires to make It a grain market Is a rate
in and out equal to the through rate, for
MISSOURI VALLEY.

hllow tha grain to be b lied by way of
Omaha for clearing or storage, obtaining
-he 7-cent rate in and the halinen of tha
through rate, 18 cents out. or equal te tha
through late of 80 cents. We will then
have a basis on which to work.
On the other hand, the Union Pacific com
pany favors Omaha In this particular, as
will be seen by the following: The rate from
North Bend to Chicago on corn In car
lots is a cents per owt., from North Bend
to Omaha 8 cents per owt and from Omaha
to Chicago 13 cents per owt or equal to
the through rate of a cents per cwt Aa
soon as this discrimination Is wholly or
partially removed we stand ready to erect
a 800.000 to 600,000 bushel transfer house.
The business men of Omaha do not at
tach enough Importance to the grain busi
ness. It haa been the making of both Kan

Trusting your committee will be able
to obtain the desired results, or some con
cessions tending toward same, we beg to
remain. very respectfully.
