Many rural schools in western Nebraska coun ies have not yet secured teachers for the fall and winter terms and will not be able to open at the time set, according to reports reaching the state superintendent's office. Lincoln, Perkins and Keith counties afe lack ing about "two dozen apiece, and un less they are supplied from the out side it will not be possible to keep all the schools going. Chase and Hayes are other coun ties where the shortage of pedagogic material exists. In the latter county the teachers' institute was abandoned some weeks ago because there were not enough present to make it worth while. Some districts lacking1 teachers may send their children to adjoin ing districts which are more for tunate. It is probable that a com bination of two or three schools will be necessary in various localities. "Western Nebraska is not alone in facing a teacher shortage, though it is not so marked in other parts of the state. Cass county, on the east ern border, is having trouble along this line.

That the district court of Howard county erred in not examining witnesses to determine whether Alson B. Cole's crime was murder in the first orthe second degree, or manslaughter, and instead, instructed the jury to return a verdict of murder in the first de gree, is the argument made by Cole's attorney in a brief filed in the su preme court, supporting the appli cation of his client for a writ of habeas corpus. Statutory citations are given in support of the contention that the court could not legally determine the degree of guilt except by the testimony of witnesses. In the Howard county trial Cole entered a plea of "guilty" and his written con fession was before the court. Judge Stewart refused the writ of habeas corpus on the theory that the facts thus adduced were sufficient to es tablish the crime of first degree murder. This proceeding is Cole's last chance to prevent the execution of the death sentence imposed upon him for killing Mrs. Lulu Vogt. He does not deny he committed the deed and no appeal was taken from his conviction. The supreme court sustained the death sentence in the case of Allen V. Grammer, who was convicted as Cole's accessory, and Governor Mc Kelvie declined to interfere with its decree. Civil Service Rules May Prevail Despite Hitchcock's Efforts Fremont, Neb., Sept 5. (Special Telegram.) Fremont business men, including leading democrats and re publicans, who sent telegrams 'to Senator Hitchcock a week ago pro testing against the appointment of Wallace Wilson as postmaster for Fremont, have received a circular letter informing them that the name of Mr. Wilson had been recom mended by the Nebraska senator in a previous letter to a group of dem ocrats who wrote to Senator Hitch cock recommending the appoint ment of John Martin, one of the ap plicants who failed by a narrow margin to receive a passing grade. The senator said that there were only three eligibles and that as Frank Fuhlroot, acting postmaster, is a republican, he would not be con sidered. This left Wilson and P. H. Larson. Fremont business men generally strongly protest against the appoint ment of Wilson. Former Congress man Dan V. Stephens, who was in Washington last week, said that he was informed that the civil service rules will prevail.
