slow, but the rapidity of its growth in
the past decade leaves little to be desired
1t has grown from a small and compare
lively obscure college to university of
established reputation and extensive in
fluence. The increase in the number of
students within the last three years is
remarkable. In 1890 there were 500 stu
dents. Today there are 1900.
This remarkable growth is of course
largely due to the increased facilities in
every department and to the strengthen
ing of the faculty, which is bound to re-
main the critical test. But large share
of the university's success must be as
cribed to its executive head, Chancellor
James H. Garfield, whose consummate
tact and winning cordially of manner
have done much to make friends for the
institution.
1t has always been the doctors pur-
pose to keep the university prominently
before the public and in touch with the
best interests of the people of the state.
1t is the real center of the state educa-
tional system. The leading high schools
are preparatory to it, and of late years it
has become the headquarters of nearly
all Nebraskan organization of an educa-

Clcaycr Joins Pingree,

H. S. Pingree mayor of Detroit, where the
Pullman branch factory is located, tele-
graphed Mayor Cleaver of this city in the
following wise Monday:
will you join me in requesting George NJ
Pullman to settle this great difficulty by ar
bitration? / have sent this telegram to the
mayors of fifty cities"
To this Mayor Cleaver replied as follows:
II think it absolutely necessary for the
government at once to devise some means
for settling present differences and to pre-
vent, If possible, the recurrence of like con-
ditions."
Mayor Pingree had evidently not decided
himself just what he wanted to do, for
Mayor Cleaver received the following from
him in reply
'Wil you join in petition to congress for
the submission of an amendment to the con-
stitution, II necessary, under which laws
may be enacted for the submission of inter-
state labor troubles to arbitration? l have
sent this telegram to the mayors of 100
cities"
Il will certainly do So" was Cleaver's re-
ply. Whether this is the end of the CONVEX
sation does not yet appear. but the impress
sion seems to be pretty general that both
sides will have to take a new tack If they
expect their back talk ever to achieve the

Their Alleged Victim Instrumental In

on the stand

Daley and Carter, the two men who were
arrested at the driving park during the
last racing meeting, were brought out for
an examination yesterday afternoon. Charles
Huber, 1t will be remembered, found mans
hand in his pocket while watching the race.
He grabbed hold Of the fellows wrist by a
sudden movement and kept him until on
Ger Claar came up and took him in charge,
During the several minutes that elasped
Huber had a chance to examine the fell
lows looks closely, and might have been
supposed to remember that he was a small
man, rather heavy set, with smooth face.
Yesterday, however, the fact was devel-
oped that a mans memory is likely to go
back on him when least expected. Huber
told all the details of the affair as straight
a string, until 1t came to give descrip-
tion Of the pickpocket. The fellow was tall
and slim, and had a sandy moustache. This
description IT Carter, who had not been
arrested until fully half an hour after Huber
had turned Da ley over to the police. He
stuck to the story in spite of all the efforts
that were made to remind him of his mis-
take.
AS the prosecuting witness himself went
back on the case in this queer manner,
there was nothing left but to discharge
Daley. Carters case was then dismissed,
Huber being nowhere to be found.

Number of Packing House Employees Who

Magic City Gossip

There are over 1000 laboring men em-
ployed in South Omaha. and the result OF
request calling all Of the men out today can
only be que esed at. The men in the pack
ing houses have not been getting in full
time by a long way, and this fact may have
tendency to induce some to strike who
would otherwise stay at their posts of duty.
The majority do not belong to the knights
Of Labor or any other society Those who
are perfectly satisfied with their wages and
hours will be likely to remain in and the
others may quit.
One of the foremen in a large packing
house said: "a few days ago. when this
strike was first talked of. there was not
half a dozen men who spoke of walking out
to help along the strike. Since that time
the papers have had so much to say and

II cannot say to that. My idea would
be to pay them off up to date, however, and
then when the trouble is over it can be de-
termined who will fill the vacancies. If
any of my men quit work | will certainly

But little slaughtering has been going on

hogs bought on the market have been re-
loaded and shipped east. AS a consequence
a great many men in the hog departments
have been off for the last three or four days
The packers have increased their force Of
watchmen all around. This was not done
through any particular fear of trouble, but
is simply a step of precaution.
The packers have their cellars and store
rooms filled with pork stuff and do not care
to kill any more at present, it is still
uncertain whether or not cars can be Sc
cured to carry the product away.
The switchmen employed by the Stock
Yards company, who do all the train work
for the packers, seem to be very well salts
fed with their lot. 1t is doubtful If one of
them could be induced to quit work on ac
count of a sympathetic strike. They claim
that they have no grievance, and, therefore,
are not interested. The majority of these
switchmen are married men and own their
homes here.
The foremen of the gangs in the several
houses were hustling among their men last
night to ascertain what the men intended to
do Several small meetings were held but
no definite action was taken. At least the
men said they had not decided yet what
