court of Lancaster county a petition
in equity charging that the referen
dum petition was in many ways
fraudulent and asking that the sec
retary of state be enjoined from
placing the petition upon the elec
tion ballot.
The petition alleged that a large
number of the names upon the ref
erendum petition were not real elec
tors and that many of them were
fraudulently secured; also that the
petitions or affidavits on the peti
tions were not in legal form. The
Lancaster court held that the peti
tion, after deducting illegal signa
tures, was not sufficient and the
case was appealed to the supreme
court.
The anti-suffragists were repre
sented at the hearing by Gen. John
Lee Webster, Jacob Fawcett, L. W.
Crofoot and B. G. Burbank, while
the suffragist side of the case was
in the hands of Francis A. Brogan,

Fremont, Neb., June 6. (Special.)
The special committee of the
Commercial club returned to Fre
mont today from Atchison, Kan.,
where they succeeded in persuading
the trustees of the Midland Lutheran
college, with the aid of members of
the Lutheran Synod, to move Mid
land college to Fremont. ,
I he proposition the Lutherans
have under consideration is to pur
chase Fremont college for $85,000
for use as a preparatory college and
found a university in connection.
Options on the site of the new in
stitution, to be the largest of the
kind west of the Mississippi river,
have already been secured. The
transfer of Midland college and the
founding of the university involve
upwards of $350,000 as an initial ex
penditure. The Fremont Commercial club has
pledged $75,000 of this amount. Ne
braska Lutherans are asked to raise
$60,000 by June 15. Already half
that amount has been pledged with
out a campaign. The Fremonters
met with stiff opposition on the part
of Atchison business men, who op
posed the removal. The vote of the
trustees was 17 to 8, the 12 Nebraska
members voting for removal.
Transfer of the Atchison school
will be made during the summer in
time to open the fall term at Fre
mont, September 1. It is expected
to start work on the university
buildings next year. S. H. Yerian
of Omaha, president of the Ne
braska Synod, was active in secur
ing the transfer of the school.
State Superintendent. W. H.
Clemmons, who is president, took
charge of the school 33 years ago
next Tuesday. He has since been
at the head of the institution. All
this time he has been assisted by
Mrs. Clemmos who is now acting

Harvest Labor and Wage
Problem Will Be Discussed
An open, meeting of farmers, in
cluding delegates trom each ot
number of Nebraska farm organiza
tions is called at the Lincoln hotel,
Lincoln, Neb., at 8 p. m. June 10.
Representatives of the United
States Department of Labor and
Nebraska agricultural extension
service will be present. The meet
ing is to consider carefully the
plans of the distribution of harvest
labor and recommend the wage
scale. ,
It is felt by many that the scale
adopted by Kansas of 50 cents per
hour and board for shockers is
about right. Sixty cents for stack
ers and 70 cents for men and team
with board is also in vogue, accord
ing to plans in the Sunflower state.
Nebraska comes under the Kan
sas City branch of the United
States employment service. This
branch has sent out 66,000 posters
in 36 states asking that laborers
keep in touch with the United
States service. The response has
been gratifying and the United
States labor officers will be main
tained in Nebraska, in Omnha and
Lincoln, and temporary branch
offices during the harvest period at
Fairbury, Hastings and Sidney.
From the offices harvest hands will
be sent to county agents, farmers
and all farm organizations calling
for help.
The county agent will use the lo
cal elevator companies as sub
agencies in his county if his organ
ization is not otherwise systemat
ized. Congressman Jefferis Asks
For Hun Cannon for County
The county commissioners have
received a letter from Congressman
Jefferis stating that he has intro
duced a bill into congress asking the
secretary of war to send two Ger
man cannon to Omaha to become
the property of Douglas county. He
says he believes the cannon will be
giveh to this county.

Herrick Refrigeration
is the most scientific and perfect system of keeping food
pure and palatable known.
Instead of the stagnant air of the old ice chest, a contin

a Herrick, leaving the original flavors not mixing them
and leaving everything perfectly dry even such things
as salt or sugar. The Herrick is at the same time the
most economical, very easily cleaned and so honestly
constructed that long time service is assured.
