cATTLEMEN FACE JURY.
Many of Them Now at Omaha in the
Land Fraud Case.

Omaha, Dec. 5.-Cattlemen from all
over the state, representing large and
small interests-those whom Col. Mos
by threatens and those he seeks to pro-
tect-are, now in the city for the pur-
pose of telling the grand jury what they
know of Illegal fences on the govern
ment's property. Several soldiers
widows are also present to detail the
way their entries were made. The
large cattle owners plead that the tear
ing down of fences will defeat its OBJ
ject because they say 1t will work a
greater injury to the small than to the
large cattlemen.
The big cattle combines" said
Charles Frenzer, the representative of
one of them, today, have enough men
and horses to control their herds even
with the fences down, and the hiring of
extra help would not work any great
hardship. but with the fences down the
herds of the smaller men would be
hopelessly lost"
In regard to the question of entries of
soldiers widows, it is claimed that, ac-
cording to law, the widows have per-
feet right to lease their land.
TT would defeat the object of the
act" said Mr.. Frenzer, eff the widows
We're required to live on their claims.
IL that were the case only those wealthy
enough to support $50 acres could take
claims
The cattlemen on small scale think
the western part of the state could be
made more prosperous by increasing
the number of small owners Of cattle,
nd hic ha fhay iy,1, Is,
by giving them a chance to acquire
grazing land. If the big cattlemen can
acquire all the land by ruse, they say
no land will be left for others who
would have a chance to make COM
Portable livelihood and contribute to the
wealth of the state.
One western Nebraska cattleman
gave the following view of the situa-
ton.
The fence law has been dead let
ter now for fifteen years, until cattle
men have adjusted themselves to the
idea that it would never be enforced.
The suddenness of the change upsets
their plans, and to many it means the
loss of much money. While the cattle
men are not naturally dishonest, they
see large tracts of government land adj
Joining their own, and the temptation
to take in as much as they can manage
and then increase their herd is greater
than they can resist.
THE desire to use these lands is so
great that, as consequence, many
large cattle combines have gone into
the fight, knowing they were working
against the present laws, and with the
aid of money ard influence, they have
enlisted on their side not only many
state officials and legislators but ma
.ional officials and congressman.
Il am not naming any one, but 1t
would rot be hard to do so. The idea
of using government land is not con-
fined to the large cattle owners, but the
small ones as well, but The former are
more interested, because the enforce
ment of the laws would hurt them
more. They will use every means with
the present congress TO have laws
passed by which they can continue to
use government land"

"ohio Plan" Of centraIizing Country
Schools.
wv. B. Shaw in December Review of

| L
Reviews.l
In Ohio, the schools of thirty three
townships are now fully centralized,
and there is partial Capitalization in
$50 others, under general law which
permits the people of any township at
the annual town election to vote on the
proposition to abandon the small dis
trict schools and transport the children
at public expense to a central school.
This township Capitalization of schools
began at Kingsyille, Ashtabula county,
in 1894. Five teachers are employed in
the Kingsville school, and to it are
brought all the children of the town
ship Can area of twenty-five square
miles), with the exception of two dis
tricts Four wagons are required. at a
total cost of $97 month. for the nine
months of the school year. There is an
actual saving to the township under
this plan, and at the same time, a
marked gain In attendance and in
school efficiency. In Madison town
ship, Lake county, the superintendent
reports the cost of tuition per pupil
on the basis of total enrollment-as re-
duced from SIC to s10.4S; and-on the
basis of daily attendance-from s26.66
to $16.07. The total expense, however,
is about the same as under the old plan,
and this is explained by the fact that
the school attendance has been increas-
ed from PIT to 800 pupils since consoli-
dation was effected
The experience of two Ohio town
ships, in particular, has attracted the
attention of school officers in other
states chilly because both townships
afford first class examples of school
Capitalization in a purely rural envi-
ronment Gustavus township, Trum-
bull county, maintains a four-roo
school, with principal and three as
sistants. Nine wagons are employed,
which cali at every farmhouse in the
township where there are children.
The drivers are required to have the
children on the grounds at S:45 a. M,
and to leave for home at 3:45 p. m.
The cost of this transportation aver
ages S125 a day for each wagon, the
longest route traversed being four and
three fourths miles in length. In the
adjacent township of Greene the same
policy of Capitalization was adopted,
and bonds were voted for a $4,000 eight
room brick school building, heated by
steam and provided with every modern
