Pointer for Sheldon. , ,
Former Governor Poynter has announced
publicly that he Is for Ueorgo L. Sheldon
for governor, and this is taken to mean a
great majority of all the populists in the
state wilt follow the example of their old
deader.- Mr. Poynter Is out of the city at
the present time, but to the local papora
he made the statement he Intended to vots
for Sheldon and would not stand for Shal
lenbergcr. "tncle Jake" Wolfe's Record.
. Calling a spade I a spade the republican
party , may have very little reason to be
enthusiastic over the renomlnation of H.
M. Eaton for land commissioner, but even
his record will stand comparison with
that of his fusion opponent, J. V. Wolfe,
who also served as land commissioner.
The commissioner of public lands and
buildings, is chairman of the State Board
of Public . Lands and Buildings, which
board has control ,of the various state
institutions and which lets all contracts
relating to these institutions. For four
years Mr. Wolfe acted In this capacity,
but failed to protect the state against
fraud and extravagance.
Uncle "Jake"' Wolfe waa on the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings, when the
fusion superintendent of the Hastings asy
lum bought $8,000 worth of clothing and
$3,000 worth of butter from favored dealers
Just before relinquishing his office to the
republicans.
He was on the board when ('the. fusion
superintendent of 'tins Hastings asylum
allowed weeds in the park' to grow twelve
feet high snd then permitted Jack Frost
to cut them down. Instead of having the
Job done when it should have been done. He
was on the Board of Public -Lands and
Buildings when under the , contract (let
for the construction of a tunnel at the
Industrial School for Girls st Geneva, ths
tunnel was not bricked or propped in any
manner, - but the fusion ' board allowed
ths raforidf contactors to plaster directly
against the earth. -
. Unckle .."Jake" was' on the ..board, when
the Kearney Industrial School , for . Boys
was allowed to run down to such, an ex
tent that his successors had to prop it up
to save it from a total collapse.
The things mentioned here sre only ' s
few incidents taken from the record of
the fusion nominee for land commissioner.
That he was a self-confessed pass holder
and passgrabber while , in office Is not
denied. Thst he and his associates left every
state institution In a disgraceful condi
tion upon retiring from office is a matter
of history, and that during his two terms
of office more scandals cropped out in the
state Institution than since -or before. Is
a matter of record,
Shoots His Child Wife.
Wintleld Meyers," aged 98, Is in Jail await
ing trial for shooting his wife wlta Intent

Rotation of School Problem.
Superintendent McBrlen has written ths
following letter of instruction to Superin
tendent Yoder of Douglas county regard
ing the construction of a new school, dis
trict in that countyV' '
After a conference with1 the attorney gen
eral's office tnis afternoon In regard to the
method of procedure for providing school
ilvlleges for lite children in dislricl No.
. Doueltts couiuy. we recommend the fol
lowing: You should caii a Seciai meeting,
as provided In section 2, subdivision 2,
achtol lams 1W6, for the purosR of elect
ing school officers for said dmtrlut; accept
ing the proposition of Mr. Paxun to erect
a building sufficient for school purposes in
said district and .for the transfer of ths
$1(j1.16 for bonded Indebtedness., since all
botioed indebtedness has been paid. Said
tranbfer to be made In accordance with
that provision of the statute in section U,
subdivision X which reads:
"Money remaining in the treasury after
the purpose fur which it was raised has
been accomplished, and after all debts for
which the lund is liable tiavs been dis
charged, may be transferred to any other
fund of the district, at any district meet
ing." '
Tins would give you $391.41 with which to
to provide free school privileges during the
ensuing year. It will be necessary for Mr.
Paxton to push the erection of the new
school building with all possible speed In
order for a sufficient amount of sctiool to
be held In said district.
At this speciul meeting the Voters should
decide upon the amount of school in said
district during the ensuing year. I doubt
If it will be possible to begin school before
the middle of November or the flrot of De
cember, but the new school building should
be completed in time for at least six
monOiMof. school.
At tills special meeting the district's
rights on the old school house should be
decided and a clear understanding had be
tween the district and Mr. paxten In re
gard to the building which lie offers to
build for the dintrlct.
It is hard to nnd definite law to govern
such an extraordinary case. We believe
