LINCOLN, Jan. 6.-(Speclal.)-AdJustnnt
Ceneral Ernest M. Phelps. In his report
to ths governor, advocates tho establish
ir.ent of a National guard arsenal In
Lincoln, (n which th ammunition arid
other supplies pt tho guard" can bo 'safely
housed. Instead of lying around as they
lo now, In tho basement of tho state
house.
The arinuul Inspection made by tho
AVor department disclosed the fact that
of the 1,271 men belonging to the guard,
fCS were out to the Inspection and 339
absent, He calls the attention of the
governor to the rearrangement of tho
companies of the guard Into a more com
pact form, so that In caseof mobilisation
theyjean be taken to a given -point at a
'Jess expense than under the present ur
.rangement. The regiments wilt bo num
I be red four and five Instead of one, and
two, giving the -flole use of the number
one, two and three to the regiments of
-the guard which participated In he Spanish-American

The report further saysi
Commencing In 1906 there have been sev
eral payments made to the governor by
tho federal govnmrnent of money art ad
ditional or back ixiy for certain .soldiers
who Joined the Nebraska organization
for the war with Hpaln. Specifically this
money Is to pay for a part of tho time
between the date they Joined and that of
muster. There ts today In this fund,
deposited In tho City National bank, Lin
coln, of the principal 10,905.12 and as In
terest credited by the bank 1138.70, a total
Of 17,043.11.
It may bn stated that our records show
that a number of chocks Issued against
this fund have not bocn returned through
thft linnk. unit It In mmnnRMl are belnif
jacpl by the .payee a souvenirs. This
pnnse or me mauer migm in pan o
remedied! by making checks read void
after a certain date, and requiring a new
claim mudo after such date.
Tile books show that from this fund 739
men lmvo not ben paid and while In
quiry has been made to the officers and
others of all companies their whereabouts
have not been found,
As the rolls show the plaro ut birth,
residence and name of a relntlve, It Is
bctievod that by a system of letter writ
ing and advertising ' some trace of thesq
men can be found; thin would entail much
wnrle nnd It ivnn in nnv fnt thn nxnonse
of same that the interest fund mentioned'
baove was started. W o have been unable
to undertake this work with present
offlco help and office expense funds.
Many of these men ure dead and some,
no doubt, enlisted under assumed names.
It Is fourteen years slnco this war, and
cnergetlo efforts should now be made to
rind as many or the men as possible.
To Protect Viifnnus.
General Phelps recommends a ata,to law
prohibiting any person wearing the regu
lation uniform of the 'national guard' ex
cept members of tho guard themselves,
Twenty-one states now have that law. In
commenting on the .matter he rays:
"Certain articles of the uniform, such
as the lint, ollvn drab woolen shirt, and
the khaki couts nrn wo popular that It la
very hard for officer to enforce the law
against taking same from armories and
wearing In personal use. by their men,
In addition to this, the uniform of the
array and national guard has been
adopted by certain educational Institu
tions where military drill Is taught, also
by civic societies, so that It Is Impossible
to tell whether or not an urtlcle of uni
form seen on the street belongs to the
government or not. All such school and
societies should have pride enough In
their Institutions to adopt a distinctive
unironn or their own.
Deficiency CUIma.
On account pf the outbreak at the pent-,
tentlary Company F, Second regiment,
stationed pt Lincoln, was called out nnd
assisted In guarding the prison. The'cost'1
of this amounted to JCJ7.31, a voucher for
which has been filed with the state
auditor- There Is still chalged agntristj
I the deficiency fund the sum of lJ.49i:t
for railroad fare for tho guard In at-:
tendance at thp maneuvers at ol'rt Riley
in 1910. This Is due to the. fact that be
fore tho claim reached tho government
the fund of J10.000 had become exhausted
'and It was alsq too late to pay the same
Ifr0m "ute funds. The clm Is In the
I hands ot the state auditor.'

Delzell Discusses
Rural School Needs
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
UNCOLN, Neb.. Jan. .-(Speclol.)-Btato
Superintendent Deltcll has ad
dressed a letter to Frank O, Odell, secre
tory ot the Hural Ufo commission, re
garding the activities ot the commission
In the work of tho schools of tho state,
In which he says:
The crying need of the rural school Is
means with which to keep the boys nnd
ulrlM until thnv bm IK nr Iff venm nf nir
In a standard rural school of from ten'
to twelve grades. No one is more in
sympathy with tlx movement for better
rural school conditions than I. The
courso of study for the rural schools
should be so modified that It will meet
the needs of the many who have no fur
ther school privileges than the rural
school offers today.
I trust the Rural Life commission will
assist In securing legislation which wilt
place the rural school on such a basis
that the boys and girls of the farm "will
be trained with sufficient academic
knowledge that they can meet the city;
bqys and girls on an equal basis of gen
eral Information.
STORES AND P0ST0FFICE
AT WINNEBAGO ROBBED
W1NNE11AOO, Neb., Jan. 6.-(SpeQlal.)
Parties unknown entered the store' of
J. F. Hurnk & Co. some time after mid
night Friday, taking two suits of cloth
Jng, an .overcoat and some few-dollars
that had not been bsnked. They then
rntvred the meat market owned by(l the
same ftmi and secured a small amount
'of money there, and from thero entered
the postofftce and after forcing the saTei
secured about M0. They next entered the
store of John A h ford, but so far as can'
be (earned they took nothing but a small
quantity or dry goods.
Up to the present time no clue ot the
robbers has .been obtained. Various
theories are advanced concerning tho
parties who did thq robbing, and the pre
vailing Idea seems to be that there was
some local talent responsible for It.
' The Winnebago bank was not entered,
as had been reported, and no further
depredations Were reported.
