Prof. D'Ooge of Yp&llanti, ilich., who was one of the ruling spirits it the recent meeting In Omaha of the Ne- I brisk Btate Teachers' association, writes' an Interesting articie for the Normal Col lege News of hla city, in which he makes tha statements quoted above, ills article In full Is hure produced: Nebraska raises something more than a-ige brush, prairie dugs and blizzards. Thai wni not surprise those that have s.-n the state, but when 1 started thither in the last week of December. 1 had only a vague luea of what 1 should find there. My pre vailing notion that things would be ' rather wild and woolly. 1 was In some what the same state of Ignorance as the Boston man who once asked me whether it was true that we ah.uit doer from the ateps of the rapltol' nt Lansing. The ob ject of my pilgrimage wus to attend the annual meeting of the Nebraska State Teachers' association, which was to s..--aemble at Omaha A blizzard was scheduled lor Omaba at the an me time, and was there on time. It took three enKines arU Biany hours of extra time to bring our train to the city. The anuw was deep mid the m rem y iulte out of sight.' It was a very favorable time to study the winter climate of Ncbianka, but, from a Michi gan point of view, the prospects for a successful educational meeting seemed slim Indeed.

The nttehUance at the rrucnt meeting at Ioni sing was not to exc.-vd 1 ,). Why is It that our state, whlrh rwks so high In education, should fall so tar below Ne braska In attendance upon the state asso ciation meetings? There nrc reasons for thla and sumn of them It would be easy to mention, ere. there time and space at tliia moment for the consideration of the question, but. the lame,itab'e result is that our state association meetings fall In n "T7i. oVK"r,v- of being the power for good wMch mar similar meetings in other sHte. The prr.gram at the Nebraska meeting was a very strong and varied one. The inellng-4 continued for three days, and wore very full.

MAY BE CALLED TO OREGON Father Joseph ftchell of Winnebago Talka of Land Frauds In that State. Father Joseph Schell was In the city yesterday from the Winnebago agency, where ho Is awaiting the arrival of Indian Commit sinner I.eupp, who La expected to comn to investigate conditions on the res ervation In a. short time. Speaking of tha Oregon land frauds, which bet was Instru mental In bringing before the government, F'lther Schell said: "I would not be surprised to recelvo a re quest from Attorney Honey to appear and testify In aome of those cases, but I un derstand from friends In Oregon that In many of the cases this will not be neces sary, as there are plenty of people to talk now that the government has taken d elded action. I am fairly well acquainted with John H. Hall, the district attorney who was removed from office, and have a distinct recollection of a personal letter received from him at the time I was vainly trying to secure action against the men responsi ble for the timber land stealing" In that letter Mr. Hall threatened me with prose cution for alleged violation of federal law, pointing out the statutes which I wag said to have violated. In answer to thla com munication I gave his letter to the news papers, accompanying It with one of my own In which I challenged him to fulfill his threats, and that was the last I heard from Mr. Hall. "At the time I was In Oregon politicians of both partlea were doing all they could to keep the matter from brooming public, and were very angry when they found they could not get me to keep quiet either by threat or bribery. It begins to look now that the Investigation will be thorough and I am following the matter with considera ble Interest, aa documents I now hold will be proven true or false by tha results of the trials."

CHICAGO, Jan. la.-Thirtjr-five com panies of Chicago firemen for four hour tonight fought a fire In the; beef storage department of the Schwarschild and Suli berger company at the stock yards, and when the fire was finally put out not over 15,000 damage had been done. The peculiar conditions surrounding tha place where the fire had Us origin waa what caused all the trouble. In order to retain a frigid atmosphere In the beef storage section sawdust had been packed Into a space eight feet wide between the walls. The sawdust became Ignited, pre sumably from spontaneous combustion, and although streams of water from more than a score of engines were poured Into the space between the walls it had no noticeable effect on the fire for four hours. All this time the men were fighting an unseen fire, as the flames were invisible. The volume of smoke Issuing from the waJIs was so dense, however, that the men wore compelled to relieve each other every few minutes to escape suffocation.

DONATIONS WILL BE VERY ACCEPTABLE City Coaacll Mill Tonight 0er Two Issaea of Improved District Bonds to Bidders at Open Sale. South Omaha people seem to be taking an Interest In the new library, at least a far as the drawing of books is concerned. Miss Jane Abbott, librarian, said that up to the closing of the library on Saturday night 671 patrons had been enrolled on tha book of the Institution. "Our patronage Is grow ing rapidly," said Miss Abbott, "and I am glad to be able to announce that we pur chased 150 new volumes last week. These new books are now on the shelves and will assist us greatly In filling in the blank spaces." Continuing, Miss Abbott said that the pupils of the schools were visiting ths library daily, looking up reference or tak ing book home to read. "Nearly every book In our children department la out now," said the librarian, "and w really need more good bocks for children." Members of the library board say that the circulation is far larger than was ex pected In so short a time. While South Omaha people will list their names as pa trons and draw books, the number of books donated to the Institution by the reading public Is way below what was expected. In the matter of purchasing books, the library board Is doing the best It can with the funds on hand. There Is a demand for donations of good book and the board de sires to have this fact mude public. Books of history, travel and high grade Action, aa well aa children's books, will be gratefully accepted and the names of the donors will be preserved In a record. The book stacks will hold 6,000 volumes, and only half a:e Ailed. A portion of the stack room Is Ailed with government reports, which are seldom used. It Is the wish of the librarian and the board that enough books be donated so that these government reports may be moved to a separate reference room. Since the opening of the library South Omoha peoplo have donated less than 100 book a City Bond at Open Sale. At the meeting tonight two batches of Improvement district bonds will be offered for sale In the open market. No sealed bids will be considered. The Twelfth street grading bonds, amounting to $050. will be considered first. Grading bonds to the amount of $900 for Improving B street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-eighth will be next considered. These bonds draw 6 p"er cent interest and one bond will be taken up each year, the total Indebtedness to be paid In live yearly Installments. It Is pre sumed that the contraciors will take the bonds, as they are considered excellent se curity. " In the routine line there Is, fo far, little to be considered, but suggestions may be offered regarding some prospective improve ments. White nnd Illncks Mix. There was a Aght last evening at Twenty fourth und Q streets between white .nnd colored packing house employes. No one seem to be able to tell what Ftartod- the fuss, but the police have two colored men In the repair shop at police headtiuarters. John Hubert, one of the colored men, has n couple of knlfo wounds on hla head, und City I'hysiLiun Koutsky sewed him up and laid him aside for further treatment. An other colored man, who was too drunk to give his name, had both eyes closed, and the doctor snld that It would be a week before this palient would be able to see. Chief Brlggs tried to get some Informa tion about the fight from Hubert, but the injured prisoner told the chief very em phatically that it was none of his business. I'P to late laet night the police had not been able to leurn any of the details of tho affair and since Hubert acted as he did to the chief not a great deal of effort will be oxi ended In trying to locate the men wh sent i'o tw colored men to the city Jail for treatment. John Culkiii Breaks Itight Leg. John Culkiu iell on theeslij pery sidewalk in front of a sioru on Twenty-fourth street Saturday night und broke Ills right nnkle. He was taken to his home at Eighteenth street und Missouri avenue, where Dr. W. M. Davis attended him. Tho fracture is u serious one-, and the limb is to be placed in a plaster cast. The Injured man Is well known In South Omaha, having been a resident here for a number of years. For a time he was employed at Flynn's, but at the time the accident occurred he wos In ths employ of the Nebraska Shoo and Clothing house, Twenty-Afth and N streets. Find .rsrro Nearly Froscn. Albert Wilson, colored, employed at one of the packing houses, waa found at Eigh teenth and U etreets late Saturday night with both feet badly froaen. Wilson wus on his way horn after having spent aome time in saloons. He was badly Intoxicated and had laid down to take a sleep. After Dr. Koutsky had thawed him out at the police station the man came out of his "tupor to aome extent The physician stated that In about twenty minute mora W llson would have been dead. After being cared for during the night and ye.terday Wilson was abl, to v '- home. At the em8t WIU found he had ov' a pint of whisky In his coat pocket. Guy Wires Break. Since the cold pcll a number of guy wire, .n:b- .i.mey wire have broken and at time traffic on the two line running Into South Omaha la delayed. A repair gang puts In part of each day repairing breaks to guy lines. The intense cold con tracts the wires and the Jarring caused by passing trains causes a snap here and there. The street car company has had a hard time of it In South Omaha during tho last week or two and delays have been common. The frost makes tha rails slippery and motormen declare that they cannot make time, Ths Q street hill is a hard proposition during this kind of weather as at times it seems almost Im possible to keep cars In motion. Sand and salt are being used right along, but these seem to be of little use at times. With a rise In temperature tha tracks can be placed in serviceable condition; at least this is what employes of ths street car company say. Mag-la City Gossip. Mr. N. B.

IEWS OF MILITARY POSTS At Department Headqnarter. General orders have been received from the War department relative to the nei rh.ntM In the aftny uniforms. The changes relate only to ome minor details and Improvement. The most Important ot ; these Is tha change In the Insignia on the collar. At present the Insignia is the American coat of arms, which at a little distance Is practically unintelligible. It is Intended to do away with this coat ot arms badge and substitute therefor the letters "U. B." The Insignia of the branch of service will remain as It i. The order also authorlxe a new cap to corre spond with the color of the khaki or olive green uniform. This cap I ajthorled both for officer and enlisted men. Ths other changes and modification are of but lit tle general Interest, tha uniforms remain ing, so far as ordinary observation Is con cerned, practically as heretofore. Orders received from the War depart ment formally detailed Major M. Gray Zallnskl, quartermaster United States army, to duty as constructing quartermas ter for Omaha barrack and Fort Crook. The order states Major M. G. Zallnskl, quartermaster, upon his relief from duty as acting chief quartermaster will assume charge under the direction of the quarter master general United States army ot construction work at Omaha barrack and Fort Crook, Neb., with station at Omaha. The many frlenda of Major Zallnskl will be pleased to learn that he Is to be retained hers indefinitely. Major Zallnskl has been at Omaha about one year, coming here direct from the Philippines. He was for a few months acting as depot quarter master, and later wa assigned to duty as assistant to the chief quartermaster, and during Colonel Sawyer's temporary absence of leave has been acting as chief quartermaster of the department. Colonel C. B. Byrne, chief surgeon De partment of the Missouri, has gone to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., as a member of the army retiring board assembled there.

S. P., Jan. 14 (Special.) Fort Meade Is to be made one of tho modern army posts of the country and it Is only within the lest two or three years that modern permanent Improvements have been under way on n large scale. Just at present the only work progressing, on nc count of the severe cold, Is the water distributing system. The wnter Is to b obtained, ns heretofore, from the city mains of Sturgls. From the point where connec tions are made with the Sturgls water mains, and at which a meter Is located, the wnter will be conducted in nn eight Inch main to a reservoir to bo locnted on a bluff across Bear Butte creek lo the west of the, post. This reservoir will be ahcut 200 feet above the genernl level of the post nnd will contain ortO.Ot'iO gallons of water. The water will be conducted In an eight Inch main from the reservoir to a con venient point In the post, where It divides Into two pipe lines of six-inch dimension, which run parallel to the lines of tho vari ous buildings found within the post. There will bo forty-one hydrant located a'ong tho pipe line. When the work Is eomp!eted there will be not only adequate fire pressure In the water mains, but with this Increased number of hydrants this post will be very well provided with protective means against the spreading of fire. This will be n source of great comfort to the occupants of the garrison, who have been In constant dread of a great confiagratlon oe-curlng nt some time when a heavy wind might prevent all efforts of the garrison In saving tho post from nlmost total destruction. The Dw'ght riumblng and Heating company of St. Paul, Minnesota Is putting In the pipe lines, und Dunnlgan & Sykes of Shenandoah, la., are the contractors who will'hul'd the reservoir In the spring when all danger from freezing has past.
