Jan. 19 (SpeHal.) The hi" annual mwtlnrs of organised agriculture of Nebraska got falrlr under way th's morning at the State farm, and progressive fnrm men from over tha atata began ti ar rive In large number to ba present t the tension of their paKlonlar organisations. The state veterinarian wars Joined toddy by the Poland-China breeders, tha Ne braska State Red Polled BrrVrs- asso ciation, the Nebraska Btata Abei ileen-Ajt-gus Breeders' organisation, tha Nebraska Duroc-Jersry Breeders' association and the Nebraska State Horticultural society. The medical men and tha aasoclatlon of agri cultural students were tha vanguard which opened sessions yesterday, the former com pleting their program In the afternoon. Tlie feature of the session tonight was the dedication of the handsome $70,01) home economics building at the State farm. It was dedicated by Prof. Kllen H. Richards of the Institute of Technology of Boston, Mass. During the evening the structure was thrown open to the inspection of visitors and a reception committee was on hand to make everybody feel at home in the first building devoted to women on the grounds of the state experiment station and Agri cultural college. Several hundred students, a big per cent of them being the daughters of Nebraska farmers, are taking a course In domestic science under Instructions In the home economics department of the state Institution. The State Board of Agriculture met this afternoon and listened to the reports of Its officers. Sonator Mcllor delivered his an nual report, reviewing the year and sug gesting what is desired for the ensuing year. The total expenditures under the board's direction were $76,504.78. and the total receipts were $81,618.77, leaving a bal ance of $5,111.99. Oil Inspector Allen Reports. A. B. Allen, the retiring state oil In spector, completed his biennial report this morning and filed it with Governor Shal lenherger. Mr. Allen, among other recom mendations. Includes a change in the law governing the test of gasoline. At the pres au time the gravity test is 68 degrees, and Air. Allen would change that to 63 degrees. This recommendation, he soys. If acted upon, will permit Nebraskans to buy Kan sas gasoline, which Is now below the 68 degree test. The total number of barrels of kerosine and gasoline Inspected by this department during the year 191 was 263.7S2. as com pared with 262.4S5 in 1907. Of the 190 In spections, HI. 731 harrela were kerosene and 122,051 were gasoline. The total receipts were $611.89 less thsn the receipts of the Drevlous year, principally owing to the fact that the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railroad company and the T'nion Pacific Railroad company have refused to pay the Inspection fees on the ol!s Inspected for them, save that the latter company has paid the fees .on one tar ,'er month. During the last year two prosecutions were Instituted by this department In t)a kota county, against a local agent of the Iowa Tank Line company of Sioux City, la., for selling uninspected oil. The party pleaded guilty In dlstrl-t court and was ftnc $u0 and costs, which was paid to the proper authorities. With this exception there has been ample respect shown for the provisions of the Inspection laws by all engaged In the selling of Illuminating oils, the only kind of oils with which this de partment has to do. Mr. Allen recommends that the law be amended so as to provide for a fee of 50 cents per barrel for Inspec tions In quantities from one to five barrels. 25 cents per barrel for quantities from six to twenty barrels. 15 cants per barrel in quantities from twenty-ona to 100 barrels, and 10 cents per barrel In all quantities over 100 barrals. Ha also recommends thst our gravity test for gasoline be reduced from 68 degrees to 63 degrees. errrlary Hsrwsrd's Movements. William Hayward, secretary of the re publican national committee, was In Lin coln today attending supreme eourt, Mr. Hayward. who will act as chairman of the national commute for the next four years, expects to meet National Chairman Hitch cock In Chicago some time thla month.

Edith Lather, from drowning In Salt creek lait Sunday afternoon. The Ijuiher child, who Is only 8 years of age, had tumbled through a hole in the ' Ice near which the two girls were playing ( and had risen to the surface the second j time when her companion caught her dress, ' dragged her out and resuscitated her. i Then the two children ran nearly two j miles to their home and told the startling ; story to their parents. The lusher girl is j none the worse for her experience, though . her mother was nearly prootrated when she j heard the tale. The father. T. J. Lasher, is an employe In the boiler shope at Have lock. Tha two were with a number of other little folk playing along tha creek at the time of the accident. All were present at the moment Edith Lasher alid into the hole, but most of them were, as they axpressed It, 'scared' stiff," and rendered physically unfit to glva any assistance that la, all save little Annie Bonner, wtio crept to the lagged edge of the lea hole and after sev eralrfforts managed to catch tha drown ing child's skirt and drag her out. The weather was not very. cold, but the one waa thoroughly soaked and the other very damp. After reviving Edith they both were able to keep fairly warm until they reached home, where they were quickly given hot bath and put to bed. Attorney lies for Fees. Attorney f. O. Whedon haa filed a suit against the CHlsens' Railway company for fionro. which sum he alleges la dua h'm for professions! services rendered the com pany during the last three years, particu larly tn tha cases wherein the defendant company sought to oust tha Uncoln Trac tion company and Lincoln Street Railway company from the use of the Lincoln streets, eventually succeeding. In 1907, after carrying the case through the supreme court, in securing a decision refusing the Traction company tha right to build on any streets within the city save those on which It already had a franchise from the city council. This, the plaintiff as serts, gave the Citliens' company the op portunity to enter Into successful competi tion with the rival company, and that the value gained by the new corporation In the derision was worth $JVV Ills claim for services rendered . as Its attorney through all thesn iroccedings is $1fl,r no part of which he says has been paid. tat School Work. State Superintendent Bishop In reor ganising the work of his office has had In mind the most economical use of the funds at his command and at the same time the greatest possible efficiency. He has combined the Inspection and examining boards with the office force in such a way that the chairman of these boards Is nil outside educator. Superintendent E. J. Bnd well of Beatrice has been appointed chair man of these boards. Today he has further combined the force by arranging for a large share of the inspection of normal training in high schools to be done by his deputy and others employed In his office, placing all this work under a general direc tor of normal training. Prof. E. L. Rouse, head of professional training at Peru, has accepted this director ship under the state superintendent. Neither Superintendent Bodwell nor Prof. Rouse are taken from their present positions. Their traveling expenses are paid when on duty for the state departments. Trof. Rouse's appointment gives complete satis faction, lie hss been a state authority on questions of normal training for some time. His advice will have weight with the high schools offering normal training and his direction v 111 be based on sound pedagogical principles. Snpreme Court Call.
