General Impression that Prelident Of state
University Will hot Resign.
WISH IS FATHER TO THE THOUGHT
Chancellor H. Popular with Faculty
and students, aud All would
Regret 90 Have Him
Leave.


From a Stan Correspondent =
LINCOLN Nov. s.-ispecial THE up
permost topic in university circles today
has been the reputed offer of the Univcr-
sity Of Chicago presidency TO Chancellor
L. Benjamin Andrews Among the menu
bers of the faculty and tho students Of
the institution, there is a strong desire to
have him remain at the head Of the school
His ability as a college executive aud
harmonlzng force has been generally recog-
nized by all elements In the institution
| sometimes imperious in his sway when he
believed q momentous issue was at stake.
the very sternness OF his address has won
favor from those affected. The students
have great friendship for him as an intel
lectual leader and mentor, and because OF
his ready sympathy with students aims,
| although he can use repression with un-
| hesitating decision, when the bounds of
propriety have been overstepped. Another
| factor which adds to the strength OF the
! desire to have him remain is the fact that
| an educator of his renown adds something
| TO the respect in which the Nebraska uni
versity is held in other states.
Today the colleagues of the chancellor
| inclined to the view that he would remain
at the university, although the belief is
| based largely on their wish to keep him
|
at different times in the past, turned down
offers Of promotion. few years ago he
was offered the presidency of the Wiscon-
| sin State university at Il salary twice that
| received here, but he refused it. When
| he was at Brown university on a salary
| of $500 a year, he was offered $4,000 by
DR. Harper to go to Chicago university
in executive capacity. but he refused
It and remained at Brown until the oppo-
nents of his silver views brought about his
| resignation.
To Have Big Meeting,
James Brady Of Albion, one of the off,
GERS Of the State Cooperative Elevator as
sociation, who has been in the city, pre-
diets that the state meeting to be held in
Lincoln January II will be large and en-
thusiastc. He stated that there are now
1876 cooperative companies i'm the associa-
ton and he looks to see the membership
considerably augmented because of the fact
that many of these concerns have been
doing a profitable business recently.
Tn this connection, 1t is pointed out~that
at the time the attorney general filed his
suit for an injunction against the Nebraska
Grain Dealers association it was believed
that the result would be to increase the
] number OF independent associations which
had been kept down because of the price
Under the temporary injunction secured by
Attorney General Brown that species of at
tack on the new concerns would invoke the
wrath of the supreme court In the shape OF
contempt proceedings, and there is, in con-
sequence, an absence of interference.

81 Vator enthuast for several years, looks
, for a gradual increase in the number OF
$ houses owned by grain producers, who de-
l sire to have share in the profits which
would otherwise go to the elevator men
, He contends that these independent asso
Citations are profitable for the stockhold
z ers, not only in paying higher price fol-
the grain, but In providing dividends.
