From a StafT Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April .-(fpecial.)-Treaaurer Morteneen and Superintendent McBrlen left tonight for Peru to attend the matting of the State Normal board tomorrow. Mem bers Orrgg and Tawney were here last night and held a short Informal meeting with the two Lincoln members of the board, but no program waa arranged for the meet ing tomorrow. It la probable that the board will not take up the matter of selecting a superin tendent for the Kearney Normal because Rev. L. p. Ludden, a member of the board, I abaent In New York, .and for the flint time will necessarily be abeent from the hoard meeting. The way the board la lined tip now should an attempt be made to se lect a principal the vote. In all probability, would result In a tie. It la considered robable that the board, when It does se lect the principal, will chooae x-8uperin-tendent Fowler, notwithstanding Ma an nouncement that he was not a candidate for the place and would not accept It. Should Delsell content to vote for Fowler tomorrow the former auperintendent will receive four Vote and be elected. Incidentally, the board might consider at thla meeting, or come future meeting, the Tirlncipnlahlp of the Peru Normal, now held by Superintendent Crabtree. Mr. Crabtree is n protege of Tom Majors, and was elected auperintendent of the school soon after the exposure of his connection with a teachers' employment bureau at the same time he was accredited high school inspector. He displaced Superintendent Clark. Clark Incurred the enmity of Ma jors and the latter harassed him continu ally until he Anally secured his scalp. At the. time of the election of Crabtree, Majors, In the presence of Clark, made this remsrk to the board: "This board can now congratulate Itself nu having a man for principal who 1 ur 1-lnrl." Lincoln members of the board feel that in letting out Clark at the demand of Ma jors they lost a splendid educator for the state, and are now seriously considering getting him back In some kind of a posi tion. The feeling of the majority of the board now la so Intense against the mi nority that It would take very little urging to have them put Clark back In his old place and let out Crabtree, whom Majors snys Is his kind". Mr. Clark Is now selling life Insurance In South Dakota and has made application for a chair In the Kearney Normal school. He will In aU probability secure this posi tion, if nothing better. McGllton Acting; Governor. It Is Acting Governor McGllton now In stead of Lieutenant Governor McGllton, and he Is playing the part with dignity and grace, filling every nook and .corner of the chair made vacant by the absence of Governor Mickey, who is In Texas for an eight-day trip.

Ifllldreth, Frank lin, president; C. C. Vernon, Stratton, vice president; R. V. McGrew, Naponee, sec retary; W. F. Dobbin, Bertrand. treasurer. The following resolutions were adopted, and will probably give rise to considerable discussion among the bankers of the state: We, the members of group nine of the Nebraska State Bankers' association, in convention assembled, do herebv express our disapproval of the branch banking svs tem In any and all of Its various phases. We consider It dangerous to public and pri vate Interests. We consider all attempted legislation bv congress with the Intent to give banks authority to Issue assets currency as III advised and Inconsistent with sound bnnk Inc. We do not favor public ownership of the means of producing trsde or transporta tion by either the state or national gov ernment. We believe the interests of the people. Individually and collectively, can he subserved best by leaving all occupa tions open to private or corporate enter prise, but when any occupation partakes of the nature of a monopoly or by any means becomes monopolised, we favor stringent control over the affair of the individual or corporation engaged In such occupation by either the state or national government, or both. We regard with concern the growth of trusts or combinations which aim at the restriction or monopoly of production or distribution of any article of commerce, and we consider such trust or combina tion a menace to the financial or social welfare of the public. We heartily com mend all railroad legislation, both state and national, which is now or shall be enacted for the purpose of suppressing such trust or combination. We endorse the efforts of President Roosevelt giving additional power to the Interstate Commerce commission. "arveyors at Dakota DAKOTA CITY, Neb., April 20 -(apt - clal.) The surveying party which arrived In this place on Monday morning has been busily at work since that time between this place and Homer. From their move ments there is no question but the party was sent out by the Great Northern rail way. The line surveyed by them started from the bluff just east of Homer and terminated by making a Junction with the Short Ine railroad about a mile north of this place, where the road makes a turn westward towards Jackson. The Survey Is an air line from this Junction point to Homer. There seems to be no question but that the survey relates to the building of the Ashland-Sioux City connection of the Burlington & Missouri and Great Northern railways. Twice before have surveys been made for this link through this county In close proximity to where the present sur vey has been made. The present survey went through this place three blocks west of the court house. ', The opinion In this locality is that the line will be built In time to transport this season's crop.
