4 TEAcHERs sALAREs ON THE McREAs
From a stan correspondent.l

house officials who expect to do business
for the state after January / are all in a
iutter. From one end Of the building TO
the other and between ends and In every
nook and corner there is something doing.
The cause OF all this unusual activity is
the proposed onslaught Of the Women's
Suhfragist association. The women expect
to establish and maintain headquarters
here during the session OF the legislature,
which headquarters. It is said. will be the
hottest lobby that ever lobbied.
The news was o~fRcially reported to the
state house today, and as the young woman
who announced it went from office to ONCE
she left behind her a wondering, startled,
gasping array Of once holders. Chairs that
had been busted an hour before were re-
touched with silk handkerchiefs annual re-
ports were forgotten and contracts were
made with local florists. After these pre-
liminaries a consultation was called and Is
still in session to decide what should be
done to entertain or at least win the good
will Of the new lobbyess. The program is
still incomplete, but this much has been
decided upon. Dick O'Neill, who wants to
be something before the legislature ad-
journs. was made the official entertainer.
This honor was done him, as he failed to
attend the meeting at Tecumseh, because
Nut Tram was II ~ "bSDN
good at figures, will be the official guide
and, with Miss Gregg, will escort the
women hither and thlther. Governor Saw
age and Treasurer Stuefer, II they are
here when the delegation arrives, will be
invited to sing Back to the Woods j.
l.. McBrien, because he is alleged to be
handsome, and DR.. Thomas, because he APP
preciates a joke, will be a part of the en-
tertalnment com8is tee. And from now I'M
til they get here the women are the most
talked Of by state house doings.
FOwIer's Report Not Ready.
The report OF State superintendent OF
Schools Fowler will not be ready for sew
eral days, but there is enough Of 1t ready
to show that there has been something do
ing in the school line in Nebraska during
the year. The report will show that the
average salary paid to teachers has beer
materially increased, in many counties sew
eral dollars a month. The GENERALIZATION
Of schools, which the state superintendent
would like to see in fact rather thar
theory, is growing slowly, so much so II
fact that It can scarcely be noticed, bu
nevertheless Il is believed the growth /
sure.
Mr.. Fowler expects much good to be &C
complished at the meeting of the Stat
Teachers association here from Decembe
81 to January 2, inclusive. Much VALUABLE
time is expected to be saved by the neV
manner Of enrolling. The teachers, II the,
desire, may enroll before they come to Lin
coin. This is to be accomplished throug
the county superintendent.
Gets More Thar It's Due.
Nebraska will not get that 5 per cen
Of the proceeds from the sale Of India
lands by the government, which 1t ha
so long wanted and expected. In the re
port Of Attorney General Prout, Med wit
the 20 gernor this morning, the attorne
general closes his correspondence with tn
Interior department in regard to the CLAIM
The department informed Mr.. Prout tna
Nebraska had been given S27,043.s9 as a pc
cent of the proceeds of sale Of Indian land
which the state should not have received
and therefore the state will get no more.
