"Want EegenU to 8ell Those Used in UnWersitj at Coat BOASTINO OX FOR THE FUSION BARBECUE Cltlsens of Lincoln Compel Cessation of Petty Wnr Bflwff" the Police Officers and Traction Company. tVmm a StnlT Correspondent.) I LINCOLN, Sept. Iff (Special.) The im portsnce of the board of resents of the state university following the lead of the Peru Normal school superintendent In fur nishing text books at cost to the students, or renting tliem at a nominal charge. Is shown In a rumor current in Lincoln that the university book store nnd the co-operative store had decided to consolidate. In sofar as prices arc concerned, though still continue under separate managements. With the two stores running In competi tion last year, thousands of dollars could have, been saved to the students had the board of regents followed the law and fur nished the books at wholesale prices. As an excuse fur . not following the law the board claimed that no appropriation had been made by the legislature for buying ths books. Legal men, however, aald that the law gave the board the privilege of using the temporary university fund as It saw fit for the benefit of the university, and they held that It would be perfectly legal for the board to purchase' the books and resell them to the students at exact cost. That the plan la practical and would re sult In the savins of much money to the students was demonstrated by Superintend ent Clark of the Peru Normal, who, out of his llhrury fund, without any special appro priation from tho legislature, saved his stu dents last your more than 15,000 without cost to the state. So far the board of regents has done nothing In the matter, and a number of prospective students have begun to wonder If they will do anything. For years tho book dealers of Lincoln have made enor 'mous profits out of the books sold to the students, and there has been nothing done to prevent this. Many, of the students are compelled to work; their way through V school, and every dollar counts. As an ex ample of the profit mado this instance Is recited: A student was asked by the book dealers here 6 for a certain book to be used in the engineering department. He re fused to buy the books and Induced several other students to allow him to send off and get their books. This was done, and each student got his book at a cost of $1.60 less than was asked by the dealer, and the en ergetio young- man made $60 on the deal besides. ' ' Should the rumors of the consolidation of the two book stores be true, the price for text books this year will likely be mate rially advanced over the large prices asked last year. Ready for Fusion Barbecue. All Is in readiness for the peace pow wow to be held by the various tribes of the fusion aggregation at Epworth park tomorrow. Tho ox has been put on the spit and under ithe supervision of General Kel sey of Coxy army fame the anliaol is be ing roasted to a turn. By tomorrow after noon it Is expected to be done to a finish. It will be ottered as a sacrifice to the hun gry pie hunleres In tho hope that they will once more Join together and try to do something for their leaders. The meeting is to be Mr. Berge's debut Into the political' arena of 'the state and Senator Allen, C. J. Smyth, Candidate Worseley and those others who are to talk: have been Invited merely as cup bear ers or special attendants. The speech of Mr. Berg will be the speech of .the day. For many days he' has been making care ful preparation for this event and .when he finishes it is expected that the ox will not have been more thoroughly roasted than will the 'present republican adminis tration, past republican administrations and the coming republican administration. Should the present weather continue a large crowd Is expected. T. S. Allen went to Omaha' today to see If some of the political brethren of that city could not be Induced to take a vacation and come down. He will also Impress it upon C. J. Smyth that he is expected to talk. Secretary Edmlsten of the populist com mittee is in Chicago and so is not here today to superintend the roasting of the ox. It Is not known for sure whether he will be here tomorrow. Pollue-Traetlon War Off.

They also have permission to run within less than 100 feet of each other or closer If they so desire. This was the result of a number of cltlsens getting Into the game. These citizens bore down on the members of the excise board and the members of this body straightway bore down on the police to make them let up. Consequently the chief of police Issued an order to his men not to molest the street car employ.es, no matter how fast they run or how close together. The contention between the police and the traction company began when the man ager of the company Issued an order that no policeman could ride free unless he was In full uniform. The police retaliated by digging up an old ordinance which pro vided that no cars should run within 100 feet of each other and that no car should run more than seven miles an hour. About a dozen arrests were made and three con victions were secured by the police. To get the people Interested the traction company manager Issued an order for the employes of the company to obey the ordinance to tjio letter. The employes did and for two days the cars have been making about three miles sn hour. The effect was what the traction company had expected. Peo ple rose up In their wrath and denounced the whole affair as child's play and com pelled a stop put to It The council at Us next meeting will rereal the old ordinance and unless some Irate cltlsen takes up the matter and flies complaints, the cars will Jump along the same aa they always have until the council meets. .'

Nick Taros and Michael Burhos,' two Greeks, recently employed on the Union Pacific as extra section hands, are under arrest and imprisoned in the Hall county Jail on the charge of conspiring- to murder a fellow-employe. Recently tho car In which the men were housed was burned at Alda, the first station west of this city, and nearly all of the men lost -their money. The employe, whose name has not been learned, however, la said tg have f700, and the two Greeks were overheard to be plot ting to get It. The other men therefore kept a close watch of the men and on night before Inst were observed to arise aftor midnight. The two fellow-employes posted to guard for that night were awake about the same time, and, getting up, feigned in ability to sleep. Finally the Greeks re tired and the men followed suit. Several hours later they again arose, but the guards had been vigilant and again showed signs that they 'were awake. The Greeks became sullen, and all the next day showed their displeasure. It was finally thought best to notify the authorities, place what evidence was at hand in their possession, and the arrest followed. The time for the preliminary hearing has not yet been set. What has been learned bo far has been learned through an Interpreter. The ac cused men are unable to speak any other than their own language. Carnival Drana Well. RAVENNA, Neb., Sept. 16.

Protests Aanlnst Fast Running-. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Sept. 16. (Spe cial.) It is reported in railroad circles that Engineer Wood White of North Platte has Jurt been quite severely cen sured and given an "cut-lt-out" order for making too good time on the Union Pa cific. The story goes that the dispatcher's train sheet, which ought to be tha best! evidence, showed the train pulled by White recently from Gothenburg to Cozad to have reached the latter point in six minutes, and as the distance is ten and two-tenth miles, showing a speed of about 100 miles per hour, it called forth vigorous protests. It is learned that the trip from North Platte to this city, on this occasion, 138 miles, was made in 126 minutes, including the stops. White had the fast mall train at the time, which was several hours late. The roadbed between the two points Is very level and, partfeularly since ballasted with the Sherman gravel and the same has become well settled, admits of great speed, but It Is believed while the officials like to see a belated train make connec tions at Omaha, they regard White's stunt as over the limit.
