GOVERNOR GETS HOT SHOT
Asked by Cadet Prisoner to Grant
PardOn-GOod Scores at
Target Practice.

CAMP E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS, SEW
ARD. Neb., May 3L-(Special.)-Th uni
versity cadets are getting all the benefit
Of a military camp. Visitors to the camp
are pleased with the discipline. order and
cleanliness. The standing joke is mess.
Along about meal times they all line up
and guess by the odors what the dinner
will be. The usual fare is diversified by
the presents of edibles furnished by ad-
miring young women of Seward.
Two companies. have had target practice
at a range Of 100 yards.
There is considerable rivalry among the
companies In seeing who can have the
best appearing street. As a result the APP
pearance of the camp is pretty clean.
An amusing Incident was told by Gov
ernor Savage of his visit to the Omaha
High school cadet amp.
HI was passing by the guard tent and
observed a cadet lying on his back under
guard.
Hello, there" said the governor, why
don't you go on parade?"
Hes arrested and under guard" said
a sentinel.
Say, governor" said the prisoner,
Frightening up. cant you pardon me
out?"
Governor Savage took this as quite a
joke and has been relating 1t to friends.
The fair grounds we're thronged with
crowds OF people from Seward and the
surrounding country. Many Of the cadets
spent a part OF their time making ac-
Quaintances.
A couple Of nights ago a cadet saluted
the ofncer Of the day a few minutes be-
fore taps and explained that he and a
comrade had been busily engaged with two
young women near the camp and had not
noticed the flight OF time. He pleaded
that he be given permission to take them
home.
The request was refused and with down
cast countenance the cadet private saun-
tered OFF to his quarters. He did not re-
main there long. however, but escaped
through the lines only to see the faint out
lines Of the of8cer and the "other fellow"
escorting the young women away.
Company B had target practice this
morning. Prlvates Towne and McCalbun
made scores Of 22 out Of a possible %.
Corporal shaply made 21. Several scores
OF 20 were made.
At noon the women Of Seward sent down
a consignment Of pies for the cadets. These
were given out after noon mess and were
disposed OF in short order.

WASHlTA RIVER is RAMPANT
Rises Sixteen Feet in Three Hours,
Overlooking Large Area
of

ANADARKO, Okl.. May 31.-In three
hours last night the Washita river at this
point rose nearly sixteen feet, carrying
dozens Of tents and outbuildings on the
lowlands and flooding the town to a depth
Of four feet or more. People in the bot
toms had barely time to escape to high
ground and a number we're forced to climb
trees. Boats were secured and several
people in p~erilous positions we're rescued,
one woman with a 3-week-old baby being
taken from the branches Of a tree.
1t is believed no lives were lost, though
many people are homeless. Today the
water is receding. The food is the worst
in twenty years. The river north Of Ana
darko is a mile wide and is overlooking,
destroying crops. One mile Of track on the
Rock Island road was washed out and the
Presbyterian Indian mission grounds and
the government Indian school and farm are
Under water.

PRISON LABOR CONTRACTS
Governor Proposes to Test One Held by Lee
Brown Company.
DEMANDS MORE MONEY PER DAY FOR MEN
Award Made by state Board of Public
Lands and Buildings Does Not
Meet with Approval of
Executive.
tFrom a star Correspondent.l

LINCOLN. May ~31.-(Special.) 1T is not
unlikely that a legal test will be made OF
the prison labor contract recently made
with the Lee Broom and Duster company
by the State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings. Governor Savage insists that
the company should pay at least 10 cents
more per day for each convict's labor than
1t is required to pay under the contract
given by the board.
Under the former agreement the Lee
company paid 50 cents per man. The
Board Of Public Lands and Buildings about
two months ago, when that agreement ex-
pired, entered into another contract, which
reduced the rate to IS cents, but raised
the minimum number Of ~convicts to be
employed from seventy-fve to 1875, giving
Ave free runners" The governor pro.
tested and succeeded in having the contract
recalled. The provision for the Ave free
runners" or chore men, was stricken out,
as were also several other conditions, but
the price per man and the minimum to be
employed were flowed to remain un-
changed. Again the governor protested,
but as the contract In this amended form
was again signed by the majority Of the
board, the Lee company presumed It was
legal and began operations.
1t is said that the governor has asked
for legal advice and that IL he finds he has
authority to do so may order a test made.
He insists that the company should pay at
least 55 cents per man. He calls attention
to the fact that the company is furnished
power and a building for it's machinery
free Of cost and further alleges that the
convict labor is costing the company
about one-fourth of what citizen labor
would cost. A days work at the peni-
Tertiary consists in the making OF four
dozen brooms. For overtime work the
company pays the convicts individually at
the rate Of 60 cents per day.
The contract under which the Lee COM
pany is operating is for three years. All
members OF the board, excepting the gov
ernor, assert that 1t is the best possible
arrangement that could have been made,
as there were no other bidders for the
labor. They regret that the price to be
paid is less than under the old contract,
but they assert that the increase in the
number Of men required to be employed
will more than make up for that decrease.
Statement from Andrews.
Chancellor Andrews has given the fol-
lowing statement for publication:
Save upon intimation that the regents
wish II, or upon the failure of my health,
tention to quit the service OF the University
of Nebraska for a number of years.
The considerations which have led me
to fear of late that such a change might
possibly be imminent have not been salary
or position, as many seem to suppose, but
others Of a purely personal and domestic
nature.
The many kindly expressions which have
recently reached me from students. col
Influence me and are profoundly appreci-
ated.

Through wise provision of the congress at
its last session the White House, which has
become dis6gured by incongruous additions and
changes has now been restored to what it was
planned to be by Washington In making the
RESERVATIONS the utmost care has been exercised
to come as near as possible to the early plans
and to supplement these plans by careful
study OF such buildings as that of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. which was built by Jefferson
The White House is the property OF the ma
ton, and so far as is compatible. with living
therein it should be kept as Il originally was
non as it originally was. The stately simple
ity of its architecture is EXPRESSION OF the
character of the period in which it was built
and is in accord with the purposes II was de-
signed to serve. 1t is good thing to pre-
serve such buildings as historic monuments
which keep alive our sense of continuity with
the nations past.

indianapolis, Ind, April S.-The Ma

Mine Workers of America has begun n
meeting in this city that promises to
attract much attention from the indus

that policy to be pursued in the eycni
of general strike in the great anthru-
cite coaltields of Pennsylvania is to be
outlined.
There are twenty-three members of
the board, representing an organization
with membership of over 100000
men. They will not issue strike order
for the anthracite fields pending the
result of the negotia tons between the
National Civic federation and the mine
owners.
There seems to be feeling among
the miners officials that an amicable
settlement may be reached before the
expiration of the thirty day truce de-
clared by them in order to give the
Civic federation time to bring about a
joint conference.
Besides preparing for strike in
Pennsylvania it is understood that the
board will give careful consideration
to the West Virginia trouble.
