LINCOLN, June 16. (Special.) JoBeph C.
Sparks, who - was yesterday elected prin
llpal of the Chadron Normal school, has
been In the office of the mate superintend
ent for the last five years, having charge
t the 'work of county certification and
being also a member o fthe board of ex
amlner which passes on applicants for life
certificates. Mr. Sparks came to Ne
braska 1from Illinois In 1x85 and since that
time he has taught In the following
chools after, his graduation at Nebraska
Central' college: (jieeley, for two years;
Orleans; ftfr three years; Fairmont, for
four years, and Aurora, for five years, llo
was picked tip by State Superintendent Mc
Brten to inaugurate the work under the
certification law and he was highly recom
mended for his present place by Attorney
General Thompson, who has known him
for twenty-five years. Mr. fcparks has a
wife and three children.
When he was state superintendent Jasper
L. Mclirlen wrote of Mr. Hparka:
Mr. Sparks Is an able organizer and
Irons tUsoltillnnrlan. lie 1h courteous
all and yet firm without being partial. lie
Is systematic thorough, endowed with rare
common senne, ami aDreast tne times on
all educational problems. His work as
president of tne state examining board for
county certificates has given Nebraska a
system for the certification of teachers
unsurpassed In any state and the equal
In every particular In efficiency and thor
oughness to the United mates civil service
commission." Were the state of Nebraska
educated up to the point of paying Its
public servants a salary commensurate
with the service rendered, and our funds
woud warrant it, I would pay Mr. Sparks
uch a salary as to place his services be
N yond the reach of any Board of Education
in Nebraska.
Prison Almost Self-Snstalningr.
Statistics Issued by the office of the gov
ernor Indicate that the state penitentiary
Is almost "self-sustaining" again. The re
port shows that at this time the receipts
from the 250 convicts employed in the
broom factory produce for the etate $3,515
'.monthly; from the 100 men employed In the
ahlrt factory the receipts are $1,625; from
heat and light furnished the state, $427.44;
from cash and miscellaneous, $310, a total
of $5,877.44. The maintenance. Including a
payroll of $1,360 and coal, $1,200, is $6,000 a
month. This would leave the Institution
running behind, only $122.64 a month. It is
reported that $350 extra had to be paid for
coal last month because the warden was
. unable to- secure the coal under contract,
but had to buy it at retail In the city, and
that tha increased cost of meat, based on
the same number of convicts a year ago,
had amounted to $876.
Donovan a Resignation Received.
The resignation of John Donovan, men-
. tlon of which was made a few days ago,
.haa reached Game Warden Oullus and has
been accepted. Mr. Donovan was consld
ered one of the best deputies the game
warden had and he had several Important
catches to his credit. Mr. Donovan will
devote his. time, to his newspaper at Mad!
son, probably taking a hand in democratic
tJPOUUM.:,, o Mirw-T
. Uootl Newe for Wayne,
It Is possible that Attorney General
.Thompson may decide that the State Nor
mal board has a right to use that portion
of the $30,000 appropriated for the purchase
, of the Wayne Normal achool, unexpended,
t pay for the maintenance of the lnstl
tctlun. The board required only $70,000 of
the appropriation to buy the school and
nothing was appropriated to maintain it,
so unless the parties from whom it was
bought keep the school running it will be
necessary to create a deficiency until the
next legislature convenes or close the
school.
The attorney general looked up the law
Ihl morning and, while he has not fully
determined, It was his off-hand opinion
that the balance of the appropriation could
ba used to maintain the school.
NEBRASKA PIONEER IS
. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAY
Dr, Frederick Rentier, Superintend
ent of County Store, la Eighty
Yen re Old.
Dr. Frederick Renner, superintendent of
the Douglas . county store house at Thir
teenth and William streets, celebrates his
eightieth birthday anniversary today as
the oldest employe of Douglas county,
Dr. Renner la one of Nebraska's earliest
pioneers, . having lived here fifty-four
A rears, and was an organiser and the first
President of the Nebraska Territorial
Pioneers' association.
' He was born In Germany In 1830,
coming to this country when twenty-five
years of age, He landed first In Boston, but
emalned there only a short time, going
from Boston to Chicago. Dr. Renner do
scribes Chicago as he he saw It then as a
town with a population of only 60,000 or
TO.000. When he arrived in Chicago It was
during the winter. The weather was cold
and unpleasant, and as his first lmpre
tlon of dislike for the city was a lasting
one, he stayed only a few months.
Coming to. Nebraska, Dr. Reifier settled
at Nebraska '.City, where he practiced
tr.edlclne for thirty-six years. When the

biaska state militia as captain of thu
Otoe County Reserves and saw consider
able active service In the frequent wars
and uprisings which broke out among the
Indians. He has letters and testimonials
frcm a number of the prominent military
men of that day,' commending him upon
his service. A queer Incident In connec
tion with his military service is that his
formal discharge from the service of the
state was' not issued until 1W2, although
it was dated back to li63. ,
Dr. Renner has beeii in the service of
Douglas county for nearly two years. Up
