FREMONT. Neb.. July 5. (Special.)
Because President Clemmone has refused
to allow students to work In their shirt
sleeves In the chemical laboratory or wear
shirt wslsts In the recitation rooms there
Is considerable agitation among the men
and women both. A couple of mornings
ago the president announced at chapel
that the young man without a coat would
be barred from the laboratory and recita
tion rooms and that sweaters were under
the ban, even though covered by a coat.
The girls then presented a petition signed
by over Jno of their number reciting that
their sense of propriety was not affronted
by shirt sleeves, especially In the labor'
tortea and that a shirt wslst could be
properly worn In the recitation rooms and
requesting that the rule be repealed. The
president refused to receive the petition
from the committee and gave them some
very sound advice on etiquette. The boys
now have a lengthy petition in circulation
asking that the privilege of shedding their
coats In the laboratory be granted them
and that men's shirt waists be recognised
as the proper thing In class rooms, as the
girls are not opposed to shirt waists and
shirt sleeves. In the meantime the new
rule Is being strictly complied with and
the prospect Is that the last petition will
meet the fate of the first.

a delegate from the United States to
the International Postal congress. Mr.
Rosewater dwelt on many changes effected

changes In the transit charges between
the different countries was. In his opinion,
one of the . Important actions of the con

snd the frequent and almost continuous

Mr. Rosewater was present at the Invlti

NORTH PI.ATTE Nearly thirty miles of
the new Union Pacific railroad up the fer
tile valley of the North Platte river has
been constructed. The North Platte river
has been bridged and crossed by the new
track, and now two crews of trains are
working on the new road to Northport.
The steel is being laid st the rate of a
mile a day. and the rate at which the
work Is progressing bids fair to comple
tion of the route by the middle or end of
September. The station Bidet rscks are be
ing Laid as tne roau is num. as is aiso
the telegraph lines and the section houses.
As the road further sdvances greater and
more numerous come the reports of tho
richness and fertility and beauty of the
North Platte river valley as the same ex
tends from Hershey on out to the state
line. The sentiment prevails that tho
f'nlrm 1nrlf1n KnilponH rnmnanv does not
intend to end the route at Northport, but
will undoubtedly build on to Medicine Bow,
and thus cut short their transcontinental
line by about forty miles and have a much
better and easier grade.
