Manual Training Schools.

Mrs. Lucy A. Boardman, of New Haven,
Ct, has given $50, 1000 to the city, the
money to be used for the erection of
building to be used as a manual training
school. No conditions whatever are i'm
posed upon the Board of Education in ac
cepting the gift. Public interest in these
schools is increasing. A report on indus

can Convention being called so late in the
season seems to have been correct 1t has
been, or will be, called ,Julyt. The district
committee say the reason for this was be-
cause Watervlle would be so crowded dur.
ing June the delegates couldn't lie taken
care Of. That's all ''poppycock." The great
bulk of the delegates will only be i'll Water
Vile at dinner Now the question recurs
Why is it put off so late? Does the ''tine
hand of any political manipulation appear
in it? 1t looks like it.
We contend this action is piece of gross
injustice to the bulk of the delegates, who
come from the farming districts. By the 9th
of July the hay harvest will have begun and
a day then is worth dollars to every farmer
Surprising some candidate is the gamer by
many farmers not being able to attend, so
much the more injustice. The convention
should have been called to accommodate
the people and not the candidates. 1t ought
to be held the week prior to the State con-
vention and the official call should have
been printed long ere this. REPUBLICAN,

has just attained his 32d year, having
been bern March 10. 1860, in the little
town of Salem, Marion county, Ill. He
attended the public schools of his native
town, and then graduated, first from the
Illinois State college and afterwards from
Union Law college, Chicago. He spent
two years in the law Office of Lyman
Trumbull in Chicago, and in the fall of
1887 moved to Nebraska and opened q
law Office at Lincoln. He likewise plung-
ed into politics, and 80 signal was his
success and so commanding his talents
that the very next year he was offered
the democratic nomination for lieutenant
governor. This he declined, but he took
an active part in the campaign, and
made, in all, over so speeches.
This work gained him state reputa.
ton, and in 1890 he was nominated for
congress in the Lincoln district. He
made it fighting campaign from the
start and won by majority of GAIT.
