VOTES FAVOR JOINT NORMAL
Teachers of Hitchcock County Favor
the PIan of the state SUI
p~erIntendent.

TRENTON, Neb., Feb. Especial Tele-
gram.)-The Hitchcock County Teachers
association met at Stratton yesterday, the
Trenton. Palisade, Culbertson. Stratton and
many of the district schools were repre-
scented. An excellent program of papers,
discussions, recitations and music was rem
dered. The principal discussion was by
Banker c. G. Vennum of Stratton and
County superintendent O'Connell. Of Tren-
ton. The question under discussion was
as to the policy Of a joint institute and
normal for the teachers Of Dundy, Hayes,
Hitchcock and Red Willow counties, as sug-
gested by State superintendent Fowler, and
commended by the county superintendent.
Mr.. Vennum did not favor the idea, con-
tending that only a small per cent Of the
teachers could afford to attend, and that
It would be robbing them to put the county
institute fund into a joint normal for the
four counties. Superintendent o'Connell
demonstrated that the cost would not be
much greater to the average teacher than
to attend the institute in his or her own
county, also that it was a question for the
teachers as to the adoption Of the Joint
normal. He called on tho teachers to vote
on the plan, and all votes with the excep-
ton Of one, were In favor Of the join nor
NAL. Superintendent o'Connell will consult
the county teachers who were not present,
before making any definite plans. The
normal, II held, will be at McCook or Gull
bertson. The probability is 1t will be held
at Culbertson.

WAYNE, Neb., Feb. Especial. Editor
Goldie Of the Wayne Democrat has received
the following letter from Congressman
Robinson on the question of fusion and the
congressional campaign Of next fall:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Hon. W. 8.
Goldie, Wayne, Neb.-My Dear Sir and

fusionist in the Third district this fall" I
nave hardly gone, to that extent in any
personal friends who have written me re-
garding the political situation, l have given

1t is necessary that there should be no
facti0nal fight among the democrats or
to give us any nance for success IL is
necessary that the party selected to make
effort of the two reform parties.
l have also indicated in one or two letters
that l have written that the majority which
the republicans had In the Third district
last fall would indicate that a strong fight
must be made for the nominee for congress,
trict being absolutely safe, as has been
the case since 1896. This is about the extent
TO which l have gone in discussing the situl
alton with friends who are active in the
political field and desired to obtain my
In my judgment, the leaders of the party
in the Third district should not be too san
guine as to the outcome of the coming
election, and all should realize that some
special attention should be given to the
congressional race, no matter who is the
candidate. l will say to you as a friend.
that II there is any other aspirant in the
district who is considered by the fusion
forces as a stronger man than myself to
make the race, l am perfectly willing to
allow the nomination to go to such person,
and will do all within my power to assist
In his election, as under present conditions
1t is very important hat we should hold as
much strength as possible in the next house
of representatives.
As 1 have twice been honored by the
people of my district, whose Views rem

active fight is apparent, in order to achieve
success. believe you fully understand

OPENLY OPPOSES LEASING BILL
L. b.. Unkefer of Hyannis Signs His
Name to DenunciatiOn of Bow
ersOck Scheme.

HYANNIS, Neb., Feb. $40 The
Editor OF The Bee: wish to cor
rect a false impression here regarding an
article appearing in your paper a few days
since, presumably written by a business
man Of this place, who wisely withheld
his name. Since / have talked considerable
and written some opposing the leasing bill,
there is an impression prevalent here that
I am entitled to the (dis) credit for that
article. l want to say 1t is not mine, nor
does 1t coincide with my views. I never
have favored SO preposterous a scheme as
the tearing down Of all fences on the gov
eminent lands. Such a policy would return
us to the old roundup days, a state of af-
fairs inconsistent with the welfare Of small
cattlemen. L am opposed to the lease bill,
present dihiculty, than the wild idea sug-
gested by the, said article.
1t is true that this country can be made
and will be made to support far more cattle
than II does today, but 1t can only be ac-
complished by affording the small men a
protection by means of fences or other
wise.
There are fifty small men here to one
large ranchman and l have never known OF
a single instance where a small cattleman
has sought Justice, In vain because OF a
jury composed OF big ranchmen; such an
idea is unreasonable.
You may Insert" my name as I don't
believe it will hurt my business" II
thought 1t would, / would not ask to have
II printed. L. B. UNKEFER

BONUS OF MEsERVE's BOND
Former state Treasures Now Accused
Of MakinE y Proat from Another
Channel Thar school Funds.

LINCOLN, Neb. Feb. 9.-(Special.)-1t
now appears that The late state treasurer,
John B.. Meserve, fusionist. was thrifty In
directions aside from collection Of interest
on school funds on private account. In the
matter OF his official bond he is now ac-
oused Of making Of a bonus. In its last
issue the Nebraska State Record, published
at Lincoln, makes an exposure Of the bond
deal. The Record shows that the bond
contained errors in preparation which may
vltiate IL should IL be brought into court,
the name Of John b. Meserve being writ
ten in the body Of the bond, while the
name Of ]. B. Meserve is signed as prin-
cipal. An error in the date OF cancellation
OF revenue stamps is also noted. The Fl
deity and Deposit company Of Maryland
cancels one stamp thus: OF. & ID. Co., l.
5-99." The other Is cancelled: '"J. b. M,
Jan. 5, 49," Probably a slip of Mr.. Me-
serves pen, but a troublesome error. The
Record makes this statement:
When Mr.. Meserve secured this bond ne
gave out in a public interview that II cost
him $1,000. The revenue stamps attached
by the guarantee company, as required Ply
faS m TsgsnU Of 's exa S9fp II m,5 aSrG pfe G1HHreo No
indorsed on the bond and no additional
However, MIR. Meserve went before the
legislature of 1899 and asked to be reim-
bursed for his bond. The committee hav-
ing In charge his claim called him into an
official session before an official reporter to
learn OF the merits of his claim, They
began by asking him II he had received
any interest on the school funds in addi-
ton to his salary, and II he was willing
to tell where the school money was de,
posted. He refused to tell, and intimated
that 1t was none of their business. That
ended his chance for reimbursement in
that session.
In the session of 1901 Meserve came for
ward again with his claim, which was now
1900. The bill was passed, ana on April
1, 1901, ne filed He swore to the
truthfulness of his claim and secured war
rant B53195, on which, two days later, he
drew the money.
There is nothing on the records to ac-
count for the extra $500. II the bond cost
5000 then Mr.. Meserve told an untruth
about IL in the first instance. And either
he or the bond company evaded the revenue
law which would have required the pay
ment of the additional stamp duty on the
additional premium. If, as seems apparent,
Mr.. Meserve ~wrongfully drew $500 from
the state treasury, he should be required to
pay It back.

Bethersl Admits stealing wire.

Nate Bethers was arrested yesterday aft
erpoon, charged with the theft Of a quantity
Of copper trolley wire from the motor com
pany. The wire was cut from the line lead
ing from SAvenueAA to the Driving park,
which is only used on special occasions. The
wire, cut into short lengths. was recovered
at the home OF Bethers' brother, at Sixth
avenue and Twenty-sixth street. The
brother was absent from home and the po-
lice exonerate him from all blame. When
arrested by Detective Weir, Bethers ad-
mitted stealing the wire and implicated two
other young fellows, giving their names.
The two are we'll known to the police.
but could not be found in their haunts yes

Petitions are being circulated among the

tracks when paralleling South avenue so
as not to ehdanger that thoroughfare for
public, travel. The petition reads:
To the oficials OF the Fort Dodge &
Great western Observation-Disclosures: Be
lieving that In building your road into, the
city OF Council Bluffs you are coming here
principally FROM the business men of the
City, who are the heaviest patrons of a

The city,
The city council at Its star chamber ses-
sion Thursday afternoon decided to keep
the tracks Of the Great Western at least
seventy-hve feet from the highway on South
avenue, IL It could legally do so. This will
be one of the provisions to be inserted in
the vacation ordinance when 1t comes up
Tor action by the aldermen.
II has been suggested, and the plan Is
Favored by Mayor Jennings. that the Great
Western be required to erect a tight board
fence between the highway on this avenue
and It's tracks. Representatives OF the rail-
road, however, object to such a proposition
on the grounds that a high fence would be
dangerous and would make the crossings
at Tostevin street. and Woodbury. avenue
deaShtraps. They contend that the engi-
neers would be unable to discern any dan
ger at these crossing until the train was
right at the point and that It would pre-
vent persons driving teams from seeing ap-
preaching trains in time to avoid them.
II has been suggested, and 1t meets with
general favor. that the railroad be asked to
construct its tracks at least $50 feet from
the South avenue highway.

WOULD Kill HOMESTEAD Law
Passage OF Bowersock Bill Being
FOstered CIandestinely by
Powerful Lobby.

o'NE1LL. Neb.. Feb. 6.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: / notice that Mr.. Allen, man
ager Of the Standard Cattle company at
Ames. Neb., and other managers OF large
cattle syndicates, criticise The Bee for the
stand it has taken against the Bowerstock
land-leasing bill, which should be called
'land-grsbbing bill" In my judgment, your
position in this regard is eminently cor
rect, and is in the interest Of not only the
agriculturists OF Nebraska, but Of the small
stockmen as we'll. A careful Investigation
OF the provisions Of the bill will convince
one of the Justice Of your position.
For instance. It SAYS that the owner in
fee simple, prior to January 1, 1902, Of 16o
acres can rent 1900. Personally 1 know
a lumber Of homesteaders In the arid land
belt, who have lived on their claims from
one to four years, whom this provision
would prevent from leasing an acre of land.
These men have worked hard to keep them
selves and families, and by their energy
and industry have helped to develop and
build up the country, and contributed their
share of taxes to run the government.
They are certainly entitled to as much
consideration as the larger cattlemen and
syndicates.
The passage Of this bill annuls the home
stead law. 1t is true, homesteads may be
filed on the leased land. But who would
care to file on 100 acres of land in the
sandhills, without range. It's passage win
leave all the small cattlemen practically
at the mercy Of the large cattlemen and
syndicates. 1t has behind 1t every cattle
corporation in the United States, and is
being clandestinely pushed in congress by
a powerful lobby. Petitions are being cir
culated by interested parties among the
stock associations, and, through a mis-
understanding Of the provisions of the
measure, a great many small cattlemen
sign them. 1t behooves all small stockmen
to investigate this matter for themselves
and to write strong letters to their repre-
sentatives in congress, protesting against
Its passage, unless amended in such a man.

STOLEN RINGS ARE RESTORED
MysteriOusIy Returned to Miss Maude
sOuIe on Her Birthday
Anniversary

WEBSTER CITY. Ia. Feb. s.-(special
Telegram.)-Miss Maude Soule Of this city
received by mail today on her birthday
anniversary. two diamond rings. The iden-
teal rings thus mysteriously restored were
stolen from her eighteen months ago. The
thief left untouched in the case from which
the rings were taken, a gold watch and a
ring with a large and more perfect dia-
mond setting than those stolen. The
rings stolen were valued at 5000. Detec-
tives were put on the case, but obtained
clew. Whether the temperance upon
her anniversary was merely a coincidence,
or by intention of the sender, can only be
surmised, as Miss Soule is so pleased over
the return of the jewels that no further
effort will be made to trace the mystery.
