(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 9.-(Speclal.-Ju8t now tn
Lincoln there la a prospect (or a nice little
fight aa to who thla town will support aa a
delegate-at-large' to the national republican
convention. All day today the Grand Army
hall was open and the announcement was
sent out that a Rooaevelt club was being
organised, and thoae who were to become
members were Invited up to sign the foil.
In reality It la said to be a plan on the
part of a number of the members of thla
organization to pledge themselves to work
to send Judge M. B. Reese to the national
convention. Another faction of the old
soldiers Is In favor of I. M. Raymond, who
alao has the support of that element of the
republican party which now controls the
Lancaster courthouae and Incidentally the
city of Lincoln. Aa the Veteran Republican
club, which la organised from the members
of the Grand Army of the Republic, haa al
ready endorsed Prealdent Roosevelt for the
nomination a number of the membera of
the old guard did not go to the hall, pre
ferlng to allow the frlenda of Judge Reeae
to work out thelf- own aalvatlon.
In the meantime there Is still much talk
as to the next state ticket, with very few
people expressing any definite choice for
any one officer. It la believed, though,
that Ollmore of Nemaha, who mine days
ago waa thought to be a strong candidate
for secretary of state, will have a hard
time to get his county down In the south-'
east part of the state, because of the fac
tion there promoting the candidacy of
Gardner for state superintendent. It waa
reported here this afternoon that John
Wall, clerk of the late house of representa
tives, would cast himself up for secretary
of state from Arcadia, but ho one la here
who could speak with authority. Mr. Wall
haa been here several tlmea lately and was
considered a warm supporter of Gllmnre,
wh was assistant chief clerk under him.
Should It look probable that Gardner la to
heat Gllmore out, then Wall may be a can-
date. Everything so far as a state ticket
ncerned Is only talk and has attained
ho tangible shape.
Bis Shave State Claims.
Treasurer Mortensen and Attorney Gen
eral Prout, as members of the State Board
of Compromise, accepted 12,500 in payment
of a claim of $40,612 90 against the First
National bank of Alma, which failed at
tho time the state bank had that much
money In deposit. Tills money was ac
cepted aa a compromise from one of the
men who signed the bond, the other signers
having gone through bankruptcy or there
being no way by which the state could re
cover. Start Work on Cells.
At last work on the new cells at the state
penitentiary Is under full sway and there
Is at present five carloads of material on
hand with which the men can keep busy.
Sanitary closets are being placed in flrat
and the work on the cells proper will be
gin Just aa soon aa a carload of tools,
which is expected daily, gets here. Warden
Beemer said this morning that the work
waa progressing nicely and that no further
delay were anticipated.
Bales (or Interstate Labor Bsreas,
Chief Clerk Deapaln of the labor bureau
la spending some time these days working
on bylaws and a constitution to present to
the meeting of the Interstate employment
bureau, which will meet in a couple of
months. One of the rules will be for the
secretary to keep a complete record of
every farmhand sent out and If he falls to
prove a good workman he will be black
listed and will get no work through the
human In the atates composing the union.
Records will be kept alao of how the
farmers treat the working men and those
who fall to pay or to feed right will be
placed along with the blacklisted farm
hands. Large Attendance at Normal.
"Never before In the history of the school
haa the attendance been as good as it la
this year," said President Clark of the
Peru Normal school this morning. "The
attendance row Is above that at the close
of the school year In 1903, and the Indica
tions are that the increase in attendance
will run from II to 15 per cent over last
year.
"This Is true despite the fact that the
entrance requirements have been ralaed
considerably during the last year. The fact
If Is that there seems to be a widespread edu
Jsfffonal awakening In the state. The very
ir large attendance at the junior normals
would Indicate this."
Mr. Clark said that the work on the new
chapel building waa well under way. The
excavation haa already been completed and
work on the building will begin as soon as
the weather permit.

cuss with him the cases of George Coll,

their conviction has been brought to light.

velt clubs In every town in the state.
PROSPERITY BRINGS TROUBLE
Farmers nt Brennans Hare Difficulty
In Dividing Profits of t o
Operatlve Concern.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Jan. . (Speclal.)-At
a Joint meeting of the Farmers' Elevator
association and the Farmers' Grain and
Supp'y company, held at Brennana, a grain
alatlon -On the St. Joseph & Grand Island
railroad six miles southeast of this city,
this afternoon, a matter which has aroused
considerable interest among those familiar
with the working of farmers' elevators was
brought to a head. Five years ago a num
ber of farmers got together and built an
elevator at a cost of tl.800 and began buy
ing grain and naming . themselves the
Farmers' Elevator association. Seeing that
the venture waa successful others wanted
to come In, consequently the Farmers' Ele
vator association offered to sell shares at
to each, the purchasers getting an Interest
In the grain bought and sold, but gutting
no Interest In the elevator building. Bo
many farmers went Into the deal that they
Installed a general provisions store' and be
came known collectively aa the Farmers'
Grain and Supply company, as distinguished
from the Farmers' Elevator company. For
the use of the elevator the latter company
charged the former a rental of $200 per
year. The business prospered and the
double company made money, but on the
division of the profits considerable variance
appeared, the Farmers' Elevator company
demanding a larger per rent of the profits
because of the money they had originally
Invested tn the building, the other com
pany maintaining that matters were ad
justed when the original company received
the annual rental of $200. At the present
time there has accumulated undivided
profits amounting to $4,000. This afternoon
a largo number of Interested farmer gath
ered, bringing their wlvea and children
with them, for the final settlement. The
agreement reached provides that the Farm
ers' Elevator association shall receive bock
from the accumulated profits the money at
first Invested In the elevator, the remainder
to be divided among all the stockholders
according to their Individual holdings, the
business to be carried on In future under
the name of the Farmers' Grain and Sup
ply company. This proposition wae sup
ported by 112 votes, 97 being for some other
settlement Many of the old Farmers' Ele
vator association feel worsted, claiming
that when they received back the amount
Invested five years ago there should have
been added to It the Interest for the Inter
vening time, and some talk of entering
upon litlgatlqn. Other than the disagree
ment on division of profits the enterprise
was eminently a success.

KEARNEY, Neb., Jan. . To the Editor
of The Bee: It !s only very recently, or
just a few weeks ago, that one of the
bright and Intelligent young men of Kear
ney, Fred J. Harrison, was arrested and
taken before the United States court at
Omaha for a violation of the United States
laws. Like many of the "get rich quick"
kind tn this republic, he had conceived an
idea ot an easy way of getting a little
money, which he was needing badly, but
was ignorant and thoughtless as to the
law and the consequences of Its violation.
The case took up much space In many of
our state and national newspapers, being
widely and adversely commented on the
more so because the young man was the
son of a m later of the gospel.
It might have gone hard with him, and
he might have gone to the penitentiary for
some years, had not kind Kearney friends,
with wise counsel and friendly sympathy
for him, come to his aid In this his time of
trouble. Having confessed his error and
mistake, a petition to Hon. Judge Munger
in his behalf secured him a comparatively
light punishment without the disgrace of
having to go to a penitentiary.
But is it not a shame that so many of the
brst young people of our cities, our state
and nation should be placed In the position
of criminals through false and mistaken
ideas of Instruction and education in our
public schools? Society Is entirely to tHame
for such a shameful condition of scholatic
affairs. In the public schools of the United
States there are over 16,010 000 pupils In at
tendance, and the Idea and habit has grown
upon the American people thnt the teaching
of Christian morality must be kept out of
the schools, end no instruction allowed but
the secular kind, to make them simply
worldy "smart." With the great lack of
moral instruction that there has been. Is It
any wonder that so many of our school
boys have grown up to-be "boodlers" and
"grafters," or become corrupt In legisla
tive and executive positions of public trust
and confidence? Very recently we have
hart two conflicting reports from leading
end prominent government official at
Washington. General Ttrlstow's report
spenks of the Urge amount of stealings by
so many corrupt officials In the Postofflce
department, while Dr. Harris, the United
States commissioner of .duration, de
nounces rellclous and moral Instruction In
the public schools, and says It rmist only
be "secular." with all that such Godless.
Chrlstless Instruction means against the
making of good elf tens. With that glorious
motto. "In God We Trust." on the com
mercial dollars of our republic, let us make
It our business to teach our public school
children and vouth to study to do our great
Jehovah's will, by remembering and obey
ing His commandments.
