the hlatorlo sense developed sufficiently to
take pains to collect andl preserve for the
use of succeeding generations the happen
ings of the age in which they live and art.
The Nebraska State Historical society
wishes, wants to receive every newspaper
published in the state. We have need of
and a place for them, when we receive
these papers they are first catalogued to
nee thst no numbers are missing then
placed on our shelves, where they are
ready for use by the public. Later when
the issues on file are sufficiently large
they are bound, and then filed away In the
vault for safe keeping, but accessible at
all times to everybody. We not only want
every paper In the state, but we desire
duplicates to be sent us of each paper.
Two state Karuras . and Minnesota are
reoelvlng two copies of every newspaper
published In their respective states. One
copy tbey preserve for binding, the other
they clip of all Important Items, such as
biography, genealogy, town, township or
county histories. These clippings they
paste on suitable cardboard. Index and file

accessible at any time. This work needs
to be done In Nebraska and we want two
copies ot every weekly and. every daily

are unbound, we will bind them, and If
at any time one volume or all of the vol
umes of your files ore desired by you we
will send them. With you the file has but
a local significance, with us a state-wide
one. with the added fact that they are safe
from fire.
Candidates on Hand.
A feature of the meeting Is the presence
of many candidates, each of whom Is anx
ious to Impress his worth upon the editors.
County Superintendent Carrlngton of Ne
maha, candidate for state superintendent,
Is on the list, as are Harry L, Cook, can)
dldate for auditor; Joe Shlvely, candidate
for land commissioner; P. A. Barhows,
one If his chief lieutenants; Judge J. A.
Wllllams, candidate for railway commis
sioner. These men are all wearing press
badges and all are making themselves
agreeable, entertaining and. conspicuous.
Kill tors to lie Put on Rack.
The anti-discrimination section of the
State Hallway commission law Is to be
tested in the courts. W. N. Johnston,
county attorney of Polk county, today noti
fied Attorney General Thompson that he
would begin tho prosecution of the Vnion
Pacific roud on the ground that In Issuing
transportation to publishers of newspapers
In return for advertising It is guilty of dis
crimination, In that In Issuing the trans
portation It gives twee as much as the
value of the advertising It receives In re
turn. This, Mr. Johnston claims, Is an In
justice to other patrons of the road, o
Ross Hammond made a great hit with
the wives of tho editors when he distrib
uted a box or roses among them because
of the rocent "unexpected and unsolicited"
honor which had been forced upon him.
The men folks held up the editor for cigars.
Democrats Fear the Hocks.
Democrats of Nebraska are beginning to
throw rocks and unless the rocks break
the Bryan slate, some of the leaders are
afraid they will be felt In November. The
slate published In The Bee has the Bryan
stamp on It and It will, go through. This
was the expression of a democrat here to
day. He said:
"Friends of Bryan are beginning to fear
that the party will split over the elate. It
Is useless to say that a slate has not been
agreed upon, for It has. And It is going to
hurt Bryan, not only at home, but abroad.
He la accusing Roosevelt of being a dic
tator, and he himself la more of a dictator
than the president ever dared to be.- He
has given his approval to the slate for na
tional delegates-at-large and Jt Is reported
on good authority that he Is -for Shallen
berger for governor.. Some of us fellows
are beginning to think Bryan is not very
consistent."
"Well, Bill Oldham had better be counted
in on that slate," said another democrat.
"He's going to that convention whether he
is on tho slate or not."
Speaking of the opposition to Mayor
J rown, who has been picked for chairman
r' tiie delegation, a good democrat, said:
"While I nm. opposed to any slates,
Mayor Brown should go to the convention.

has always paid Ms assessment without
a word, city, county, district, state and
national. He has spent more money to
help elect democratic tickets In my esti
mation than any other democrat In the
state. So far as being a member ot the
alleged Lumber trust, that Is all foolish.
He was not a member of the state asso
ciation when the suit was brought by the
attorney general and had not been for
years."
It Is reported here that I. J. Dunn of
Omaha, agreed upon by the "Jacks" and
"Jims," is scared out of wits for fear the
slate will be smashed and he will be left
at home.
TSvr Military School.
B. D. Hayward, former superintendent
of the Kearney Industrial school, with
others, has purchased the old Western
Norma buildings three miles west of Lin
coln, and they will open up a military
school. The buildings were erected at a
cost of $165,000, but for a long time have
i been unoccupied. Mr. Hayward expects
not only to have a military school, but his
courts will also Include a high school
course and a business department.
Conntf Committee Derelict.
Secretary Corrlck of the republican state
committee again wants to call to the at
tention of the various county chairmen
thnt a. rule of the state committe requires
that the names of delegates to the state
convention must be filed with the state
committee five days before the state con
vention. Also that the preferential vote
for president must be certified to the state
committee. So far only a few of the
counties have done this. The secretary la
anxious that the matter be attended to at
once by all counties that have held their
conventions.
Crookston Wants an Agent.
Max E. Vlertel of Crookston has asked
the railway commission to compel the
Northwestenr railroad to place an agent In
the depot at that place. Mr. Vlertel wrote
that his people had to go to Valentine to
get their freight aid to ship from Cody. It
Is thirteen miles closer to the Rosebud
agency In South Dakota than It is to Val
entine. Mr. Vlertel wrote thst the last act
of the old board of transportation was to
order the Northwestern to build that de
pot but the board was knocked out before
the road put In an agent.'

NET WEIGHT HARD TO GIVE
Parkers Tell Court that Meat Paek-
aa-es Coatlaaallr fhrlitk.
LINCOLN. Feb. 25. In defense of the
charge of violating the net weight clause
of the state pure food law attorneys for
Swift and Company today Introduced evi
dence In the district court to prove that
packages of ham and bacon, wrapped and
unwrapped, decreased In weight with ex
treme rapidity. It was asserted that the
packers could not accurately brand any
meat package. The shrinkage would ren
der the company liable on a charge of mis
branding. It wss argued.
Osceola Freights Curtailed.
OSCEOLA. Neb.. Feb. 15. (Special.) The
Union Pacific railroad today took off the
freight crew from this branch for every
other day. This will leave the people on
this line with a freight west on Mondays,
Wednesday and Fridays, while It will go
east on other days of the week. Never be
fore has this branch been without dally
freight service since its construction, In
ISS0. And now there does not seem to
be anything that would warrant such dras
tic action. This will surely result In help
ing out the Burlington business both at
David City and Stromsburg.

democratic, republican and peoples' inde
pendent political conventions will all be

tion. The democrats and populists will each

trons were not asked to pay Increased
