WOULD HAVE THE REMAINS LIE IN STATE
Executive Desires 20 Give People an
Opportunity to Pay Their Respects
to Memory of the Gallant
Omcer.

LINCOLN, May a.-(Specal )-Governor
Poynter today sent dispatch to the War
department at Washington requesting that
arrangements be made to have the remains
of Colonel John NJ. stotsenburg lie in state
for short period in this city, in order that
memorial services may be held II is not
known whether Mrs. stotsenburg, who is
returning to her former home in New AL
bany, Ind, with the remains of her husband.
wishes to stop in Lincoln, and the request
OF the governor is made conditional on her
wishes. The dispatch follows:
Russell A. Alger, Washington. II con-
sistent with arrangements of the War de-
partment and wishes OF Mrs. Stotsenburg,
Nebraska requests that the body OF Colonel
Stotsenburg lie In state in Lincoln for me-
mortal services and that we be accorded
the privilege of sending a military escort
with the remains to their last resting place"
The people of this city are very anxious
to have the request Of the governor allowed
and as Colonel Stotsenburg had SO many
friends in the city, 1t is thought probable
that Mrs. Stotsenburg will consent to stop
in the city for at least a few hours.
The members OF the Board OF Public
Lands and Buildings have decided to in
spect no more prospective governors man
sions for a few days, and this action has
led people to believe that one OF the houses
visited yesterday meets the requirements of
the board. About half the houses offered
were visited by the board, this number in
Guiding all that have been considered at all
favorable from the first On account OF the
convenient location, 1t is thought that GER
tain members of the board favor purchasing
the Thompson residence, which is perhaps
the only house offered facing the state capi-
tol building.
