(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. 13. (Special.) In the
matter of the Investigation of the charges
against Prof. J. W. Searson, a teacher In
the Peru Normal school, all the evidence
of the plaintiff. Miss Katherlne Hudson,
was -Introduced this . afternoon and the
normal board committee then continued the
hearing until after the trial of Prof. Sear
son In the district court of Nemaha county.
The charge against him In the district court
is attempt to commit assault. Miss Shep
herd, a teacher In the Lincoln schools;
corroborated, the testimony of Miss Hud
son ,, thjs morning by telling what Miss
Hudson had told her under' pledge of ae
ereoynotj the evening the assault was al
leged to have been committed and of the
agitated condition of the plaintiff. Rev.
Mr. , Tyler, pastor of the church to which
both Searson and Miss Hudson belonged.
was 'placed' on the stand to bir, fSiat he I na'ry. On the ether-hand,
had tefused to give,' Miss JIudsorf1 a, letter district, J. W. James la ou
from theuJurch-. lie testified that he had
beard . runyrs connecting the names of
Miss Hudson and Prof. Searson, and Anally
went to Miss Hudson' and she told him her
story. He then went to Searson and. Bug
tested Having a church trial.' Seat-son
objected to the church trial and said he
would withdraw fro mthe church If charges
were filed against him. As a reason for
not wanting a church trial, Tyler testified
that Searson said: "I Intend to fight the
duvll with fire. They have fought me under
cover and now I intend to use any kind
of means to clear myself. I can use meth
ods before the State ' Normal board that
I cannot use' In a church trial. I Intend
to spend every dollar I have clearing my
self. And I expect to do It by fair
means or foul." Tyler then modified his
statement by ; saying -lie . may not have
quoted the exact . words of Searson, but
that was the Impression given him In his
talk.
At the conclusion of the testimony of
Tyler, II. H. Wilson, for the defendant,
said his client 'was to bo tried In district
court shortly, and therefore, he. did not
want to offer any testimony at this time
and asked for a continuance. However, ho
said If his client was found guilty In the
district court he would promptly resign
his position In the normal school and not
embarrass the normal board. While not
objecting to a continuance. Hallack Rose,
assisting Representative Xuackenbush. at
torney for Miss .Hudson, pointed out that
tie board had a duty to perform without
reference to the verdict in the district
court. Very dramatically he pleaded for
the girl, who, he said, had been misrepre-
r
of her story. Miss Hudson and two women
who accompanied her, wept during his
short but very pathetio plea, while even
the board members showed signs of being
Impressed.
Expenses of Candidate-.
The expense accounts being filed with
the secretary of state by the various can
didates answers the question of whether a
poor man Is shut out of being a candidate
for office by reason of the expense of the
state primary. It cost Judge Reese $112 to
get his nomination, while under the con
vention Judge Letton was nominated at
an expense of $32 91. Yet H. J. Wlnnett
spent $131 for his nomination for. railway
commissioner, while Henry T. Clarke only
spent $18.60 for his nomination under the
primary. Under the convention system
John B. Raper spent $38.60 for the nomina
tion of Judge of the First district, while
under the primary he received the nomina
tion at an expense of $19.81. In the Fifth
district Judge Oood spent $16 under the
rlmary and $6.15 under the convention
plan. In the Twelfth district FJ. O. Hos
tetler spent $32 for a nomination under
the convention system and only $11.12 under
the primary. H. M. Grimes In the Thir
teenth district spent $140 under the conven
tion system and only $10 to run at the prl-
In the Tenth
ut $115.60 under
the primary, -while -under- tbe convention
systera.lt cost him -only $4.05! In the Four
teenth district R.- C, Orr -spent $21 to get
the convention nomination and under the
prmary his cost was 3.30. J. L. White, In
the same district spent $3.60 while running
before the convention and $ltf.60 at the pri
mary. W. H. Westover spent $24.90 before
the convention in the Fifteenth district and
$20 at the primary, while J. J. Harrington
spent $20 at the primary and $8.10 before
the convention. The comparisons are taken
from the records on file In the office of
the secretary of state, where candidates
submitted their names at the primaries
this year and before the conventions four
years ago. Following are the expense ac
counts filed today by candidates at the
primaries:
No Oil at Burnham.
The oil well at Burnham has been aban
doned and no more will workmen dig there
tor John D. Rockefeller's product. No oil
was found and the drillers got Into sand
which ended It all. They went down 2,200
feet. 8. H. Burnham believes oil and gas
will yet be discovered in Nebraska.
New Point In Primary Low.
The name of IL O. Sawyer, candidate
for commissioner out In Webster bounty,
was left off the ticket by accident. He
had filed for the office. He claims by rea
son of the fact that his name was not on
the ticket as It should have been ho was
defeated. He wants to know what he can
do and the county attorney of Webster
county asked the attorney general.

and growth, a lively Interest Is being felt

' The synodical sermon preached by Presi
dent- Lowe, at the opening of synod, had
as Its theme the building of the church and
the organization of the congregation. The
elements expanded upon were the teach
ing of the truth, the pure gospel of Christ,
an Increased fellowship among the mem
bers, a nearer, stronger relationship and
brotherhood, the more frequent partaking
of the communion and the conscientious
observation of all of the sacraments and
prayer.
Miss Ellen Schuff presented to the synod
and a public audience some glimpses of the
work in foreign lands. She comes from
Gunthur, India, and related the work of
a year's preparation In the foreign land,

Vacancr on Harlan County Board.
ALMA, Neb., Sept. 13.-(Speclal.) Con
siderable Interest is now being taken by
the members of the county board of Har
lan county in filling a vacancy. About a
month ago, P. W. Shea of Orleans, a mem
ber of the board from that district, handed
in his resignation to take effect at a cer
tain day. After the day, he wrote to the
county clerk asking td withdraw his resig
nation. The clerk sent it back to him.
It Is now contended by other members of
the board that Shea Is no longer a mem
ber of the board, and many taxpayers
are also of the same opinion. Notwith
standing this fact, Shea sat with the mem
bers at a meeting since the withdrawal of
his resignation and was recognized as a
member of the board. But since the meet
ing has adjourned certain members of the
board are determined that Shea's office Is
vacant and arrangements, are being per
fected to fill the vacancy at the next
meeting. Mr. Shea is a fighter and the
meeting Is looked forward to with much
interest by the taxpayers and those In
terested In the result. It is said that
Kdgar L. Means of Orleans, a former
banker of that place, will be selected to
fill the vacancy.
Stewart was chosen as the delegate to the i
siate meeting and B. W. Thurber was
selected as the chairman of the committee.
Confidence Man Tries Preachers.
FREMONT, Neb.. Sept. 13.-(Speclal Tel
egram.) A man who gave his name as D.

Episcopal church. Dr. Spymer of the Meth
odist Episcopal and Rev. W. S. Buss of
the Congregational churches and wanted
to make arrangements to have an Infant
child baptized and to borrow small sums
of money until tomorrow. Mr. Frost
thought he recognized him as a man who
had worked the same game on him at
Lincoln and notified the sheriff. His efforts
to raise money had so far been fruitless.
Alma's Interstate Fair.
ALMA, Neb.. Sept. 13.-(Speclal.) The
Alma Interstate fair Is being held here.
The races and other entertainment was
the best at any fair in the Republican
valley for years. The gate receipts
