State Superintendent Bishop Is preparing
a bulletin advocating the consolidation of
country districts to form a graded high
school. In tho bulletin will be pictures of
such schools which Mr. Bishop visited In
Indiana In his recent trip to Indianapolis.
With the pictures Is one showing a van
In which the pupils are taken' to school.
The picture shows the wheels had gone
through mud up to the hubs.
One objection to the country high school
and the van for the children has been the
mud In the country roads, but Mr. Bishop
believes his picture will show that It Is
not as muddy tn Nebraska as It 1s In In
diana, and If the van can get along in
that state It can at least move along here.

Law Students
Do Not Sneak
Chancellor Avery of State University
Announces Men Absent from
Classes Will Be Suspended.
fFrom s Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 17-(.peclttl.)-Threats
of expulsion from the university and the
personal work of Dean Hastlnrs frus
trsted the plana of the law students for a
"skip" from all classes In celebration of
St. Tatrlck's memory t today, and prac
tically all the students In the college of
law attended classes this morning.
At separate claas meetings yesterday all
the students of the college of law voted
to "sneak" away from school today and
spend the afternoon at Crete. Dean Hast
ings, when apprlsrd of the intentions of
his students, warned them that such an
act would not be tolerated by the Nebraska
faculty.
After this warning from the dean sev
eral of the students backed out on the
plans, but the majority of them persisted
In their determination to go until the
juniors called a meeting late last night.
At that time the middle class agreed to
abandon the "skip" Oay arrangements.
This action broke the backbone of the
movement and Chancellor Avery then took
measures to warn every Individual law
student not to attempt to continue the con
spiracy. During the night a force of clerks and
messenger boys were kept busy In getting
out a circular letter to the 200 law stu
dents. The letters were not made ready
until nearly midnight, and after that hour
special messengers traveled over the city
leaving notices with each law student, so
that all members of the college would have
warning before 7 o'clock this morning. The
following la a :opy of the letter, which
was signed by Chancellor Avery and which
every law student received:
Dean Hastings Inform me that the pro-
rosed "Law Bklp day" has been aban
oned, and I wish to express to the stu
dents of the college of law my apprecia
tion of their cheerfully following the dean's
Instructions.
Lest, however, notice of the abandoning
of the plan should fall to reach any of
the students of the college, I am sending
this note to all by special messenger.
I trust that by means of this note I may
be spared the very unpleasant duty of In
definitely suspending from the university
any who might otherwise be absent from
classes tomorrow as a result of such a
Conspiracy.
A few of the Junior law student re
mained away from classes this morning,
but the attendance In both the freshman
and senior classes was practically com
plete. Land Board Takes
Part of Soldiers
Resolution it Adopted Instructing
Comander Barnes to Allow
Veteran Use of Chapel.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 17. (SpeolaJ.) The fre
quent complaint of the member of the
Soldiers' Home at Grand Isla.ru! lnt th
treatment accorded them by Commander
Ell Barne was the subject of disoussion
by the Board of Publlo Lands and Bulld
logsitblg aXterpoeo.) The. -latest -aoWon of
the commander was to prohibit tho soldier
from using the chapel for their meetings
and today the board wu informed that
Mr. Barnes refused to permit them to use
the chapel In which to practice for their
Baster day exercises.
As a result of thl last complaint tho
board adopted th following resolution:
Whrea, The Board of Public Lands and
Buildings has on numerous occasions re
ceived communications from the inmates of
the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Grand
Island, Neb., complaining that they wero
deprived of th use of the chapel building
for the holding of moetlngs that were In
no way detrimental to the Interests or good
government of the home, and,
Whereas, The Board of Public Lands
end Buildings Is desirous of furnishing for
the Inmates of said home everything tn Its
power that will add to the comfort and
amusement of said Inmates, believing that
thty are Justly entitled to all that the
state of Nebraska can extend to them, and
believing further.
That the oh a pel building was erected for
the sole purpose of furnishing a place of
publlo gathering for th members of the
home and that the expenses of heating and
lighting said building are so Insignificant
as not to receive any consideration what
ever; Ui ere fore, be It
Resolved, by the Board of Public Lands
and Buildings, That the commandant he
and la hereby Instructed to allow the said
ohapel building to be used by the Inmates
of the home for all gatherings of whomso
ever kind that are not detrimental to the
good government of the Institution.
Adopted by tho Board of Publlo Lands
and Buildings this 17th day of March, A. U.

candidate of that faction for state office
were also present. Candidate ana com
mitteemen expressed confidence in the out
come at the primary election In June, the
general feeling being that the insurgent
had oommltted a fatal error In placing R.
O. Richard of .Huron In supreme com
mand, after Rlohards had denounced uov
ernor Veesey as being untrue to the prin
ciples of the progressive, and Oovernor
Vessey In turn had denounced Richard as
a victim of chagrin and hatred because he
could not "boss" the state administration.

The talwarta In addition to attacking
the alleged compact between Vessey and

rather than Vessey. will be the real gov-
ernor of South Dakota the power oeruna
if the progressives win, are
also attacking the alleged extravagance of

gance. They elmply "stand pat," and
claim the growth of the state demands the
Increased cost of the state government,
which, they etate. Is U11 lower, per

The campaign, so far, has been com
paratively free from th bitterness which
