been spending the summer. Mrs.
Harris has gained strength in the cool
summer resort and looks forward with
pleasure to living in Omaha. She was
graduated at Brownell Hall and some
OF her classmates will be her neighbors.
Recently well known Lincoln young
lady who has the happy faculty of say
ing bright things, was east and called
upon some acquaintances, former resi-
dents of Lincoln. They were staying
in hotel in an apartment house and
their rooms were well up to the top.
The young lady assembled until she
thought she was getting up above the
world, and finally arriving at her des-
tination she rang at the proper door and
startled her friends with the query,
"Howdo; is God in?''
Most people who keep up with the
current catch phrases and slang are

any rate it has for some time had full
possession OF Gotham. 1t is heard in
all walks Of life and is introduced on
every possible occasion
Frank Zehrung, on his recent trip to
the metropolis, came in contact with it on
the every hand, and he brought home a
story illustrating it. "You know" said
Frank. "the cars on Broadway haven't
any time to lose and while of course
they always stop for lady to get
on or off, the conductors seem to
think it waste of time to stop
for mere man. Well, one day there
was man, only a man. He was on
Broadway, and he was drunk; at least
he was in jolly frame Of mind, and was
hating in his speech and gait. He
wanted a car. He fought his way
through omnibuses and drays out to the
track and waited calmly for the car.
Pretty soon one came. 1t was a pretty
busy car and didn't have time to stop

he couldn't get on unless the car did
stop. He braced himself and prepared
to get on gracefully. The car went sail
ing by. The man nearly fell over him
self and gazed reproachfully at the
receding vehicle. He was humiliated;
but he would wait for the next car. He
steadied himself again and waited.
Again he was passed by. This operation
was repeated two or three times. BY
this time there was crowd of interest
ed spectators. You know you can
gather crowd Of five hundred persons
in New York in about five seconds.
Finally another car came along. The man
stepped up on his feet and braced him
self for final effort. This time he
would make connections or know the
reason why. The car came speeding by
and the man appealed in vain. Then
with much injured air. he buttoned
up his coat, stood on both feet for Sec
ond, waved his hand at the car, and bow
ing to the crowd, said: There are

MINING.
The Laws of Colorado Might Prove a
Valuable Guide.

When YOU consider that this industry
of the state has contributed, and is con-
tributing. so largely not only to our
own wealth, but the wealth OF the ma
ton, and then search our statutes and
learn that no adequate legislation has
ever been enacted looking to the pro-
lection of those engaged in this pur-
suit. you cannot be otherwise than as
tonished. Yet such is the case, the last
session had the subject under advise
ment, but failed to deem it of enough
importance to merit sufficient amount
of their valuable time to pass bill, al
though one was introduced. which If it
had become law would have been of
incalculable benefit to the state.
| recommend that you give this sub
ject your early attention and suggest
| that the laws of Colorado might prove
| a valuable guide on this subject. The
mining industry of that state has
reached its present magnificent proper

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The report of the state superintendent
of public instruction is a valuable and
instructive document
My observation has taught me that a
change should be made in the law pro-
Viding for the apportionment of school
moneys. The state common school fund
should be apportioned on the first of
March and August each year, thereby
giving the school districts the use of
the money paid into the treasury dur
ing January and February instead of
allowing it to lie idle in that office until
July, as is now the case,

titled, AN act to establish and main

STATE WAGON ROADS.
No More Money Should be Expended in
That Direction.

That Direction.
There seems to be a growing DISPOSE |
ton on the part of each succeeding leg |
lslature to provide for the construction
of what are termed state wagon roads.
Ny opinion is that no more money
should be expended in that di-
rection, other than to finish the road
now begun. up the lower Salmon river,
which was intended to connect the
northern and southern portions of the
state.
The state has already incurred
bonded debt of $lS5,000 in what seems
to have been a futile attempt to open
up the interior by a regular system OF
wagon roads
The condition of the roads for which
contracts were let, under the act passed
by the second session. is very unsat-
isfactory To avoid the expense of
milage from one section of the state to
another, | appointed four different sets
of examiners and engineers living as
nearly as possible in the vicinity where
| the roads which are being constructed.
| regret to say that in no instance has
| either set of the examiners found the
|
cording to plans and specifications. In
consequence / requested the state au-
ditor to Withhold final payment until
the work was completed according to
agreement
The wagon road commissioners paid
several contracts in full, without wait
ing for me to appoint viewers as the
law contemplated. The statute creating
the board authorized it's members to
certify their own accounts to the state
auditor, In fact placed the entire ex-
penditure of the whole appropriation
in their hands without supervision
from the state officers.
recommend that you appoint com
mittee to investigate the condition OF
the state wagon road and report to you
what legislation Is needed, II any, to
compel a completion of the contracts
now let.
