Teachers' association to look after the In

Mlaa Bullock U an enthusiastic advocate
of the traveling library as one of the mo;
successful features in the work of library
extension in Nebraska. The first traveling
library in the United Slates was estab
lished In New York state In 1892. and Miss
Bullock, assisted lri selecting the volumes
to be sent out by the New York library
commission at that time. The first travel
ing library sent out by the Nebraska com
mission was In December, 1901. It went to
a barber shop In Loup City, where, during
the three months of its stay, 379 books were
borrowed. Since that lime the traveling
libraries have gone to 13u place In sixty-six
counties. Many of them are in rural school
houses, in cress-road stores and in farm
houstw. They have made 256 round trip,
and ixty-four libraries are now out. Dur
ing this time 33,117 volumee have been bor
rowed. 'The total number of 'volume in use is
about 3,4u0. so that each volume ha an
average circulation of nine and seven
tenths time. The average number of bor
rowers in a place Is fifty-one, so that the
total number of borrower enrolled In Ne

The second biennial report of the Ne
braska Public Library commission I Just
from the printer. As an illustration of tho
possibilities of the traveling library branch
of the work of Uie commission, the follow
ing letter, which come from the Sand Hill
country, having no railroads, 1 quoted in
the report of the commission:
Your article In The Illustrated Bee, De
cember B, 19U3, on "The Traveling Library,"
mentioned a special loan collection, the
books to be loaned singly. 1 have not
gone to school us much as I should have.
Am 19 years old, in Ninth grade. Should
like' to attend the Agricultural college next
year or later. Have never seen many farm
hooks, though I've read some papers.
Should like to borrow something to help
me prepare for the school. Especially
something to teach about Increasing fer
tility of soil in the sand hills. Also stock
Judging, hog raising, tree planting, caring
for succulent reed, etc. Wliat must I do
to get a book?
In reference to this letter, Miss Bullock
says: "This letter is as eloquent an argu
ment for more extensive provision for this
branch of the work as can be placed before
the people of Nebraska. All over the
state, If we had but mean to find them
and provide for them after they are found,
are Just such young people who are feel
ing their way to a higher and more ef
fective plane of usefulness than their en
vironment can offer them. What possible
Investment of money could yield larger re
turns than one which will Increase the
value of our best natural resource the
minds and energies of our young people?"

WORLD-HERALD IS SHOWN UP
John Liider Testifies Hitchoook'i Ageit
Offered Him Imminity from Pretest.
WOULD DO TRICK FOR TEN I0LLARS
Witness Pat on by CoifTrnman.
Editor Who Boon Drop Illm All
Bee Advertisement Are
Approved.
John Llnder, a wholesale liquor dealer at
1209 Douglas 'street, testified last night at a
hearing of the World-Herald protest
against the granting of his license that an
agept of that paper had gone to him after
he had advertised in The Bee and had said:
"Ten dollar la nothing to you. You give
me 110 and there will be no protest against
your application."
This statement was repeated and empha
sised later in the session.
Mr. Llnder refused to be bled, and In con
sequence a protest wa filed, also protests
against granting license to fourteen other
men who had advertised their applications
for license In The Bee alone. It was to hear
and consider these protest that the Board
of Fire and Police commissioners held a
meeting last night.
While Mr. Hitchcock wanted each case
considered separately, he Anally consented
to have hi offer of evidence in the Llnder
case go In the Record for all the others, as
had been suggested at the outset of the
hearing by Mr. Connell, who appeared In
opposition to the protests.
When Mr. Llnder was called to prove his
good faith in advertising his application In
The Bee and In no other paper, Mr. Hitch
cock virtually made Llnder the witness for
the World-Herald. He took the venerable
old German In hand and asked him a few
question, but not many. The answer were
given so straight and with such convincing
evidence of their earnestness that ' Mr.
Hitchcock suddenly had proven and placed
In the record the fact that a careful and
painstaking feeling of the public pulse by a
conscientious man seeking to do what was
safe, had shown beyond doubt that The
Bee Is on all sides considered the paper of
largest bona flde circulation In thla city ana
county. Not only this, but the witness had
gained the impression from hi Investiga
tion that Mr. Hitchcock' paper stands
third in the list as to circulation.
Hitchcock' Last Resort.
After Llnder had disappointed hi hope
the protestant put his circulation manage!
on the stand to prove that be believed they
had. the largest circulation. Mr. Connell
promptly objected on the simplest legal and
commonsense grounds, and the board a
promptly sustained hi objections. Then
Mr. Hitchcock contented himself with hay
ing placed In the record what he had of
fered tp prove and gave notice of appeal In
every case against the pretest of hi paper
In favor of the advertisers.
After the board had retired for a few
minute to consider Mr. Llnder' rase Mr.
Spratlen made a formal motion that Mr.
Llnder had advertised In good alth, that
the protest was overruled, the license
granted and the bond approved.
This motion carried unanimously and It
wa renewed a to all the caae protested
on the aame ground as the Llnder license.
All were granted and the bond approved,
with the exception of one on which the
board desire to have more Information.

In connection with the application filed hv
the John Gund Brewing company of La

went Into secret session and afterward an
nounced Its refusal of the application on
the grounds that public Interests would not

tion.
Attorney Breen, who represented the ap

PUBLIC LIBRARY MATTERS
Board of Director Has Busy Evening
with Affairs of th last!,
tatlon.
Th board of director of the Omaha Pub
lic library held Ha last regular monthly
meeting of the year last night, with all
member present except Director Rush. Th
routine business consisted of receiving and
hearing the monthly report of the librarian
and passing on bills aggregating $3,875,
which practically exhaust the available
money In the library fund and start a new
ledger sheet for the new year.
The librarian reported the employment of
an experienced assistant for the reference
room, to take th place of tho regular at
tendant on leave of absence, In Mis Wil
liam, who come from Brookllne, Mass.,
and who has studied at the I ratt Library
school.
At th uggetlon of th librarian, Ml
Tobltt, she wa authorised to undertake an
Instructional hour for library apprentice
for a period of ninety day nd report prog
res to the board. The discussion over this
recommendation Indicated ihut members of
the board expect this undertaking if suc
cessful to lead to something more akin, to a
course of library training In connection
with the public library.

of the library wa received, but tho board
took notice of It by the designation of
President Reed to look after the Interest of
the library In the execution of this bequest.
An Informal discussion was ulso had upon
the Intimation that Andrew Carnegie Is
disposed to provide the monay for the con
struction of two branch library buildings in
Omaha. Th desirability of uch branches
was unanimously conceded, tho only dif
ference of opinion being as to the ability of
the board to finance the proposition under
Its present limits of current cxpjnses. The
executive committee, together with the
president of the board, was directed to con
fer with representatives of the city council
and the Board of Education, and to muke n
report on the subject at their lirllest con
venience. It is probable that a special
meeting of the library board will jo held to
go over the estimates of the cominir year In
advance of the next regular meeting.
