LINCOLN. Jan. Z). (Special.) When the
Plate Normal board meets on February S
the Indication are the meeting will be of
much Intercut, for at that time the board
will take up the matter of the dismissal
of Principal Crabtree.
i For aome time the board nan been seri
oiiKly considering securing; someone for thla
place, for the reason there has orison In
the faculty at Peru serious dlssention,
which the board believes will reault In
perlnusly handicapping the work at that
Institution unless a change la made.
It was thought for a time that the faculty
at Peru would resolve an endorsement of
Mr. Crabtree and present the resolution
to the board, but this has not been done
and it Is said now that the older Instructors
there are anxious to keep their hands out.
Seme time ago Governor Phallonberger
was very much exercised over the stories
that Mr. Crabtree was to be let out and
be looked up the law very carefully to
soe If there were not some way he could
remove the board members and appoint a
nw board which would favor the head of
the Peru school. What his conclusions
were he has not announced, but school
men say the governor has all he can take
care of looking after his own candidacy,
wltl.'out Inviting a fight with the normal
board. In fact, nothing further has come
from the office of the governor looking to
the Investigation pf Luther P. Ludden, who
is being paid to act as secretary of the
board. Dr.. Ludden and other members
of the board courted an investigation and
a back flro was at once started, which
evidently had the effect of preventing any
further talk of the proposed Investigation
In view of the lack of harmony existing
between the members of the board and Mr
Crabtree there seems lit tl doubt that th5
head of the Institution will eb changed
and whether to make the change now or
at the beginning of the school year In
September seems to be a question the board
will have to settle.

Governor fihallenberger today wrote a
Jetter to PrsgsldJ-nt James of the Uni

Pierce and others, who this morning dis
cussed the matter with the. governor.

of Iowa. It Is intended to have, ex-Oover-nor
Bailey, of Kansas, and ex-Governor
Frank White of North Dakota on the
speakers' list. Many -graduates of the uni
versity of Illinois live In Nebraska and the
meeting Is expected to be of some magnl-
tude. i

RUTABAGAS SUBSTITUTE
FOR CORN AS HOG FEED
Nemaha County Farmer Finds Method
of Fattening; Stock on' Cheap
Food.
AUBURN, Neb., Jan. 29 (Special.) One
of the bright farmers of Nemaha county
has found a substitute for high priced
corn. He says "the cheapest way to make
pork Is to raise rutabaga turnips and feed
them in connection with clover and a little
corn to hogs. Three bushels of corn with
this feed will take the hog through the
winter all right. The feed makes good
pork, too, and at a low price." K Case, a
retired farmer, residing In the south part
of Auburn, has made public an experiment
he made with beets last summer. He had
ono-elghth acre In which the white clover
was dying. He plowed up this ground and
sowed It in drills with two pounds of
"corn saving beet" seed. He thinned the
growing beets two or three times and kept
them well cultivated with a hand culti
vator. They grew prodigiously and when
harvest time came Mr. Case found he had,
by actual weight, forty-nine bushels of
beets at fifty pounds tp the bushel, making
2.4M pounds from the one-eighth acre, and
at this rate a full acre would produce 49,600
pounds, or twenty-four and a half tons.
Mr. Case has been trying experiments with
the beets during the fall and winter and
now finds that they make splendid hog
feed. The hogs eat them with great relish
and put on fat with this feed at rapid
rale. Mr. Case states that starting hogs
on this feed the ration should be one-third
each of corn, alfalfa and beets, the corn
and alfalfa being gradually reduced until
the hogs are on a beet diet.
BABE, IS ROASTED ALIVE
Children Sonic Dress In Kerosene
and Then Tonch Match
to It.
BRIDGEPORT, Neb., Jan. 29. (Special.)
While the mother was absent from the
home the little 2-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. It. Zlnser was burned so
badly that she died a few hours later in
terrible agony. It Is not certain Just how
the accident happened, but from the ac
count as given by' the little boy, who is
but 4 years old, It Is believed that the
children were playing with coal oil, and
after saturating the little girl's clothing
with the oil the boy struck a match and
set the garments on fire. In attempting
to extinguish the fire Mrs. Ztnser herself
was badly burned, having arrived In time
to see the baby In flames. The child was
literally roasted alive, the flesh dropping
off In pieces when the physician attempted
to dress the lnjurtes. The body of the
little one was burled In the Bridgeport
cemetery yesterday morning. Rev. I. B.

ter, familiarly known as "Johnnie" .Stetter,
who died in New Orleans Tuesday as the
result of a fall at Laurel, Miss., Friday
last, will arrive In Tecumseh tomorrow aft
ernoon and that the burial will be made
that day In the Tecumseh cemetery. Wll
Ham Stetter was born In Farragut, la.,

celved messages from the south In quest of
Information. The mayor telephoned to

Bryan Will Not
Allow Metcalfe
Get in the Race
Hewer of Wood and Drawer of Water
Should Know His Place and
Stay Fixed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 29. (Special.) "Met
calfe will not be a candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination for United States sen
ator because the Bryans will not let him
run."
This was the statement of a prominent
democrat In Lincoln this morning, who
has the idea that he knowi who the
Bryans want for their candidate. And by
the Bryans he meant in addition to W. J.
and C. W. Bryan and Tom Allen, others
who are direct lieutenants of the presiden
tial candidate.
"Mark what I say," the man continued.
"When the proper time Comes Metcalfe
will give out a Hatement that he Is 'not
caqdidate and that statement will be
given because Mr. Bryan will not stand for
him. Tom Allen is doing all he can to
create a boom for W. H. Thompson for
senator and he would not be doing that
unless he were acting under the direction
of the big chief himself or at least he
knows that Bryan wants Thompson for the
candidate."
As a matter of fact all of the so-called
or self-styled leaders of democracy express
little fear of Metcalfe causing any serious
disturbance by standing as a tentative
candidate for the senate. Metcalfe, hla
friends say, has always drawn the water
and carried the wood for the others and
these leaders are expecting him to continue
this work even if they have to appeal to
Mr. Bryan to tesua the orders.
Lee Herdman, who waa here the other
day, while expressing great personal friend
ship for Metcalfe did not consider him as
a serious candidate for the senate.
C. W. Bryan, who is recognized as not
only the spokesman, but the manager of
Mr. Bryan and his closest adviser and upon
whose Judgment the presidential candi
date relies probably more than upon any
other national or state leader of democracy.
would not discuss candidates when the
question of his support of W. H. Thompson
or G. M. Hitchcock was put to him. He
expressed the Idea that he had no pref
erence for any one candidate, but that
when the platform waa finally agreed
upon It would be easy to select the can
didate. The candidate, he said, should not
be selected until the members of the party
knew what the platform would be. At this
time he had no idea, he said, what would
be In the platform.
BOYCOTT ST0PS HOG BUYING
Morton-Greiraon riant Will Limit
Supply Dorlng Antl-Truat
Campaign.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. 29. (Spe
cial.) Because of khe meat boycott and
the unsettled condition of the meat mar
ket, the Morton-Gregson Packing company
has given notice It will discontinue buying
hogs next Monday and for perhaps a week,
or until the market is settled. This plant
ha-been, killing from 1,000 to L600 head
of hogs per day and has been in operation
for a number of years. It has a large
supply of high priced meat on hand and
will not load up any more until it ascer
tains what the market conditions are going
to be. It is thought that other plants
over the country will do the same thing

Want Change in Schedule.
COLUMBUS, Neb., Jan, 29. (Special.)
At present the passenger train on the
Spalding branch of the Union Pacific, out
of this city remains here Just an hour,
and that Is at dinner time, so that it is
inconvenient for those from the branches
to transact business in Columbus and re
turn the some day. For some time the
merchants of this city have been agitating
a change, and last night the question was
brought up at a special meeting of the
Commercial club, called for that purpose.
The merchants were for the change, but
the hotel men, who claim that they will
lose patronage by people being able to re
turn to their .homes on the branch lines
without staying over night in Columbus,
were not in favor of it. The matter was
finally disposed of by the club appointing
a committee to wait on the Union Pacific
officials and ask that a change be made.

Down President During; Con
sideration of Report.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 29. "In ordo
to facilitate work of this convention I
have decided to recognize the men from
the picks and not the district officers,"
said President Thomas L. - Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America at the
opening of today's aession of the conven
tion. At this there was a lusty cheer, but Im
mediately several delegates In the anti
Lewis faction said they were from the
picks and demanded a reconsideration of
the vote by which President Lewis' report
was declared adopted.
Whereupon the uproar In which the con
vention adjourned yesterday broke out
anew. From the rear of the hall were
cries of "gag rule," when Lewis asked If
the convention wanted a roll call.
"I am Informed that there Is an organized
effort to break up this convention," de
clared Thomas L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, at yes

journed In a tumult of Rhouts after a day
spent In a violent controversy over tha
adoption of the president's report.
The protest against the ' adoption of
Lewis' report was led by Francis Feehan,
president of tha Pittsburg district of tha
miners' union, who charged that Lewla
"had a private understanding" with Presi
dent Taylor of the Pltuburg Coal com
pany and that, . "protecting the Interesta
of the coal company," he had called off
a strike against tho company, with the'
result that 10,000 miners had suffered a 10
per cent decrease In wages.
Lewis defied Fechan to prove his allega
tion and read a statement from President
Taylor denying that he had any sort of
understanding with Lewis.
"I cannot help but feel sorry that tha
men at home have to read of the acenea
In thla convention," said John H. Walker,
president-elect of the .Illinois district.
Duncan McDonald, now president of the
Illinois miners, In an attack on National
President Lewis, said that Lewis had used
the national organizers at hla command
In the recent campaign for re-election for
his own personal ends.
