LINCOLN, June 20. 8peclal.-Now that
the university has closed (or the summer,
the question has been asked whether the
prevent board of regent will allow tha
book dealer of Lincoln to gouge the Ilia
out of Itudanta who have to buy books,
a they have been doing In the paat, or
whether the regents will take It upon them
elvaa to follow the law, which require
them to aell books at actual cost to the
tudent. The regent In the paat have
made no rrtov In thla direction for tha
reason, one of them said, the legislature
had set apart no money for the purchase of
the books. This, however. Is not belleved
to be an excuse of any merit, aa a prom
inent Lincoln attorney aatd tha law pro
vided that the money voted for the main
tenance of the university was at the dis
posal of the regents to apend for the bet
terment of the school In any way they may
see fit.
Last year this was published In thla
-column at the Instigation of a number of
students who had been forced to pay large
siims to the book dealer who. have control
of the matter, and the lnw waa polutrd out,
though the fusion board took no steps to
remedy It or to sav tha boys from paying
ths exorbitant priors demanded. As a mat
ter of fact one of the book dealer, or a
very near . relative, held a position In the
university, and the farts as brought out
at that time tended to show that a gigantic
trust for tha benefit of the bonk dealers
existed. '
One student of the university went to one
of the official or employes of the univer
sity to ask about hie books and was rec
ommended to a certain atore to buy them.
He found the price no much higher than he
would have to pay at home that he again
called on tha university employe. He was
'told that it would be better to pay the
higher price than to get hit book back
home, for the reason that during the year
It was probable- the book dealer would be
able on many occasions to accommodate
him. The boy bought the higher priced
books. Just what the new board of re
gents will do along this line Is not known,
but if- they consider the wishes of the
parents of ' university students they will
take the university out of the hands of the
book dealers some way or other.
Car " Service la roar.
The ' National Holiness encampment In
progress now at Epworth Lake park Is
attracting many visitors and doubtless
would attract many more were It not. for
the poor car service being given by the
Traction company. Though the crowd out
last night wa comparatively small the
street car service, one of the attendants
remarked,' was sufficient to make one lose
all the religion ho had absorbed at the
meeting. A twenty minute servlco had been
advertised and shortly before 9 o'clock a
hundred or two people lined up at the park
suit to start back to town. They wailed
and others lined up, and after a delay of
fully thirty minutes, with no car In sight
when the, Ant of. the crowd began to ar
rive, the "carrier came along.
The trip back to, towa, as' described by
one of those who took it, was worsn even
than waiting for the cars, .After plug-glnlmV9e"w70wftTen,--rnltnit
the
car Juslt wtoppod fo'tima to Sprovent bump
ing Into another that was headed for the
park. 1 This1 .brought on a five minutes dis
cussion between the crews as to who would
take the back track. The outcoming oar
finally did, and when after several stop
were made, Lincoln park, only a half a
mile away was reached, the trip consuming
about twenty minutes. Lined Up in front
of that 'park were over a half dozen cars
doing nothing, while at Epworth was a
plat for ia full of people who had been wait
ing, aome of them for nearly an hour to get
back to towa.
-Telephone) Comiair Protests.
The Nebraska Telephone company filed
a protest with the County Board of Equali
sation against Its property . being assessed
at $300,000. asking that it be reduced to
. $lu3,3I2. Too oompany claims that the law
authorizing the assessor to assess Its prop
erty on lao cross- reoelpts Is unconstitu
tional. In that It makes the legislature an
ttSbtsslng body. This 1 tfio first attack
on those tactions of tha new revenue law
and It Is eupposod that If the board falls to
grunt the company relief the matter will
go to the courts, ,
In the lrcniitlme a general kick Is Doing
made, because figures of the city assessor
and the county assessor greatly vary, the
county ass-uacr making the property much
more vciab!e than shown In the returns
of tho city assessor. '

. " Ma ay Teacher at Normal.'
Reports received at the office of the state
superintendent show the attendance at the
junior normal schools for the first week
to be 400, which It is believed will be In
creased to 1.200 befpre the close. Last year
the attendance at the- schools was L100.
The attendance at this time Is not large for
the ( reason that many summer Institutes
are at present in progress and consequently
many twaahera are not yet ready to enroll

at the normals The attendance at the f
Institutes Is also greatly Increased over
last year, which leads Superintendent
Fowler to believe the standard of teachers
this year will be greatly elevated. Hereto
fore because of a lack of applicants county
superintendents have been compelled to
grant certificates to about M per cent of
those who took the examinations, though
many of them were not really deserving
from an educational standpoint. With the
advent of more teachers Superintendent
Fowler Is fearful that school boards will
be prone to cut down salaries, arid he Is
urging that this be not done, but that the
best teachers be secured no matter what
the price demanded.

uently disheartened and discouraged by the
slowness with which things are done here,
she . has never lost hope, and today aha
came again to plead her cause. Governor
Mickey later Intimated that tho boy would
be paroled. He was formerly In the em
ploy of the Cudahy packing plant, where
he Is known as a good worker. ( and until
his final undoing, aa a good man. He with
othera went on a strike some years ago,

his first crime, that he was sentenced.

POLICEMEN HELD FOR ROBBERY
Charged with Having; Repeatedly
l Plundered a Store.
BCHTWLER, Neb., June 30. (Special.)
Nothing in many years has excited so
much wonderment and Interest among the
people of Schuyler as tha reported and ap
parently well confirmed action of the city's
night police and watchmen, Charles A.
Sherman and Ted Croahaw. During many
months past the Weila . Grocery company
has been missing good, whloh were evi
dently taken by midnight marauders. Ar
ticles were found In the mornings taken
from their places on the shelves, and lying
around on the floori and matches were
also scattered about. Before the death of
the senior member of the firm this spring,
the matter of missing goods was mentioned
to him, but ha thought lightly of the mat
ter. Tet he la said to have cautioned Sher
man to take especial oara to watch the
atore.
Determination was made to find the cul
prit. If possible, and laat Saturday night.
'Alonxo Wells and one of the clerks, W. L.
Mlchaelaon, secreted themselves In the
store. About t o'clock Sunday morning
partlea were heard to enter the store. The
watchers determined from their talk who
they were, and saw clear'.y when matches
were struck that the parties wars Sherman
and Croshaw. The former ran from the
store when the watchers advanced.
Entry had been made, It ls said, by tha
front door, with a key whlcn waa not In
their possession by authority of the firm.
The officers claimed that they had heard
a noise inside the store and entered to In
vestigate. Sherman, so they stated, ran
to the rear door when they found some
one inside, to head oft escape.
The entire affair seemed to so shock and
stun all connected with It and the whole
community that nothing was done until
today when the two were arreated and
taken before a Justice of the peace for a
preliminary hearing. They . pleaded not
guilty and were placed under 960 bonds
each for appearance one week from today.
A search warrant was sworn out against
Sherman today and twelve cans of Mon
arch brand of canned goods, carried ex
clusively by the Wells Grocery company,
were found In hla cellar. It Is said that
besides these there were thirty-seven other
cans. '
There Is, scarcely a man In all Schuyler
that such things would be leas quickly fast
ened upon than Mr. Sherman, and the In
tegrity of either of them has never been
Questioned except by two or three, who
now claim to have suspected them hereto
fore. "Mr, Sherman's social standing Is
high, and h waa prominent among mem
ber of secret orders, who deeply deplore
tho stories afloat. ,
From a financial point of view, there was
not the sllghteet cause for auoh action,
he being reputed to be worth 18.000.

CRIPPLE CREEK, . Colo., June 20. In
response to a telegram from an eastern
newspaper asking for a statement from him
as to whether he said that Governor Pea-
body would have to declare the whole of
Colorado in a state of rebellion and put the
stats undef martial law, Adjutant General
Bell has replied aa follows:
The alleged Interview la absolutely with
out foundation. I not only never gave out
uuii ii interview, uui in luea ia ausu
lutely foreign to mv mind under the Dast
and present condition.
mere t no need of declaring Colorado
under martial law.
The whole state 'practically ha been
cleaned up by mv deDortation system.
There sre but few anarchists and socialists
left who Can cause trouble.
However, should It become a military ne
cessity the whole state of Colorado will be
placed under martial law and all Insur
rection will be dealt with accordingly.
I do not believe thla will ever be neces
sary. In my Judgment the Colorado labor
troubles are at an end.
. We have been making the fight for the
whole United States and the Federation of
Miners has been receiving financial sup

held 2,000 brawny miners In subjection In
Teller county.
There may be martial law In Colorado,
but not to suppress Insurrection, but rather
to Insure, If possible, the re-election ot a
