AIDING PRESSED SALOON KEEPERS.
This morning the Excise Board and the
Board of Education met in joint session for
the purpose of discussing the matter Of per-
hitting saloon keepers to pay the annual
license of 81 900 quarterly instead of in a
lump sum. Secretary Ludden and Superin-
tendent Saylor represented the Board of
Education. The full Excise board were
present. The enthusiasm of the saloon keep
ers was considerably dampened by City At
rorney Abbott, who appeared with a decision
of the supreme court to the effect that the
whole amount must be paid on the day the
| license is taken out. The decision is by
Justice Post, in the case of Zelke against
| State, page $50 of the Forty-second Nebraska
reports, as follows:
The county, city and village boards of this
state have no authority to issue liquor IL
censes on credit, and a license issued with,
out payment In full OF the Zee prescribed
therefor is void.
A loophole was suggested by the city at
| torney, by which the full force of this sweep
ing decision might be evaded. II was sug-
gested that a provision might be inserted
in the license to the effect that 1t should be-
come void If any lapse was made in prompt
payment Of the quarterly amount due. 1t
is considered certain that the city will lose
about 81 900 license money by saloons going
out of business II the full payment of 81 ,OOO
down is demanded.
The announcement of the withdrawal of
Lieutenant Governor Moore from the guber-
material race is followed today by the state

CSnErcsatiOnaIists Meet at Norfolk
and HIVE m Extended Debate

CSnEresatiOnaIfsts Meet at Norfolk
and Have m Extended Debate.
NORFOLK, Neb., March 21.-(Special.)-
A convention Of pastors and delegates of
Congregational churches of north Nebraska,
including all the Congregational churches in
the Elkhorn Valley association and those of
Omaha, Columbus and associations north of
the Platte, was held here Thursday to ad-
wise and discuss the present status of Nor
folk college. There was strong attendance
and the discussion between the friends OF
Gates college of Neigh and those of Norfolk
college was interesting and at times warm.
A resolution to recognize Norfolk college as
the Congregational college Of north Me-
braska was carried by a vote Of 81
to 8. AS nearly every church was fully
represented, Neigh included, this vote shows
the overwhelming sentiment in favor of
Norfolk College. The following resolutions
were adopted:
THE Congregational churches Of north Ne
braska. in special convention held at Nor
folk, March 10, on the invitation of the
faculty and trustees of Norfolk college to con-
slider the expediency of the course pursued
n the founding Of Norfolk college and to ad-
wise in reference thereto, and II deemed ad-
visable to recognize the College. after care
full inquiry as to the facts and circumstance
attending the organization and establishment
of Norfolk college, believe that the trustees
or the colleSe nave acted from cOnSclentpus
Convictions of duty and privilege in organic
ing and founding Norfolk college; that the
circumstances and conditions surrounding the
trustees of Gates college on September 5,
which led ten of the fifteen trustees OF
Gates college to resign, and which led eight
of the ten trustees who resigned to i'm
mediately take steps to organize Norfolk
