. NCOLN. Neb., Oct. 2. (Special.)
jsnclal relation between member of
jj faculty and students of the University
Nebraska were rut off by a rule that
-ent Into effect this week. From now on
money paid for Instruction, book or
upplies by the students must go through
the hands of the treasurer or the unl-
- versity.
Thin rule was adopted last sprlwr by the
Hoard of Regents In order to systematise
the finances of the university and protect
prof"sois from sccu.-atlun o misuse of
funds or civerchai glng students for books
or supplies.
It has been the custom up to the present
time for professors In whose departments
a large amount of mimeographed work I
reqred to charge a small fee each semes
ter for th! service. Hy giving out these
mimeographed sheets the students Tver
accommodated with the official papers at
a nominal cost.
Other professors collected small amounts
from students for purchasing books to be
umiI In a special library, the Idea being to
have a few books whera they could be se
cured by the whole class wl'hout having
each member buy an Individual bonk. Often
this plan saved the student from havinc a
complete set of books and expending sev-!th,'lr mn'' that th c,ty haI1 wl" not

The only objection to this plan was that '""y r "harassed" x overcrltlcal tax

of tha Commercial club, says In his Invi

"We do not think their reception and en
tertainment would ba complete without the
presence of tha governor of tho state, and
respectfully Invito you to b the giiest ot
tho Commercial club on that date, and sin
cerely hope you can make your arrange

Governor Shallanberger will attend the
Ak-8ar-Ben ball and will be present to
receive tho Japanese visitors If possible.

paign poster has been prepared by the
republican state committee, containing
the pictures of tho three party nominees

photographs aro arranged slantwise In a

bolton right hand one. This simple and
expressive Inscription accompanies the
grouping: "Republican candidates for

Fifty thouoand of the posters will be

t sable to Satisfy Coart 1st Alfalfa
Mill Deal.
YORK. Neb., Oct. i (Special In the
case of State of Nebraska against George
Stryker. formerly of York, now a resident
of North Plett. Neb., an alfalfa mill pro
moter, and Samuel C. Nelson, formerly of
Grand Island, a. resident of Kansas City,
engaged In the promotion and building of
alfalfa mills, charged by the Tork Alfalfa
Meal and Milling company with embezzle
ment of several thousand dollars, was tried
before the county court. Eight months ago
George Pttyker came to Tork, calling on
old acquaintances, and representing to them
that he had the backing of a strong finan
cial Institution then with headquarters at
Omaha, and later at Kansas City, who
were financing and building alfalfa mills
at different points in Kansas and Nebraska.
Tork was one of the good points for an
alfalfa mill, and it was not much trouble
to Interest farmers and business men, who
subscribed for stock, paying cash, which
they claim has disappeared and nothing to
show for It. The evidence given In the
trial was that something like 17.000 worth
of stock In the Tork Alfalfa Meal and Mill
ing company was disposed of, and that at
the present time there ts about $700 In the
treasury and no alfalfa mill at Tork. The
promotion company was represented on the
board of officials of the Tork Alfalfa Meal
and Milling company by having Samuel C.
Nelson elected treasurer, and when the
Kansas City officers on the witness stand
were asked what become of the money,
they replied that It was spent, but did not
give sufficient testimony to Justify County
Judge Wray to think that the money was
rightfully appropriated or spent for the
benefit of the local company, and both
Stryker and Nelson were bound over to the
next term of district court under $5,000
bonds each.

Tho regents decided that, although the
books and supplies were necessary. a
better plan would have to be devised for
furnishing the students with anything that
was necessary. They felt that soma pro
fessor sooner or later would be charged
with grafting funds and they took steps
to prevent this hy requiring all sums to
go to the treasurer.

Omaha Invites Governor.
The governor has Just received an Invl
taiion from the Commercial club of Omaha
to be present November 13. when fifty dls
tliiM'iislitd men from Japan are to be en
tertained for an entire day. The visitors
Include bankers, merchants, members of
parliament, educators and editors, who are
'n quest of information regarding Amerl-
clty authorities for bids on work to be
done ha met wltn a refusal to submit
any propositions. For this reason It Is
probable no more paving will be done this
fall other than what has already been con
tracted for.
The Barber Asphalt company, the Na
tional Asphalt company, Hugh Murphy,
Ford. Flynn McLaughlin and Robert
Malone are among the number who will
not bid on work which the city and prop
erty owners want done. Some time ago
they were notified of the A street paving
project, calling for about 8,009 square yards
of pavement, but none of them made fig
ures on It for the reason, as stated, that
it was too small a Job to be worth their
while. A street was then grouped with
two or three other districts and readver
tlfed. the whole amount being 24.000 yards,
estimated to be worth $55,000. On this
larger piece of work the firms and Indi
vidual contractors again neglected to bid.
They have virtually given notice that they
will do nothing for the city until next
spring. Malone has Intimated that he will
never bid on city work again.
