ficers at an executive session after thor
oughly discussing the proposition from a
legal standpoint.
In the meantime children Of nearly all
the state officers have been enumerated in
Lincoln and Lincoln has drawn accord
lngly on the state apportionment. One of
the state officers has paid poll taxes in
Lincoln as well as at home and last year
his personal property was assessed both
here and at home. It is such little in
cidents as these that has reused the Of
ficers against the payment Of tuition.
The board issued its order because Of
the opinion handed down by Attorney Cen
eral Brown recently that Lincoln could not
enumerate the university and place them on
its school census.
Funds for Y. NJ. G. A.
The Young Mems Christian association
rustlers, who are getting together the
funds for the erection of the new associa-
ton building, have dug up some $4,000 of
the $685. 900 necessary for the beginning of
the structure. Today the local committee
was reinforced by H. A. Stone Of Omaha,
and Secretary Wade of that city will be
here in a few days to help the movement
along. The committee expects to raise the
S25, 900 within the next four days.
Samples Have Disappeared.
members OF the bOdTQ OF PUBIC LanuS
and Building are wanting a Sherlock
Holmes to tell them what has become of
some sample napkins, comb and brush and
shoes which were used by the board in
buying goods and then supposedly sent
to the different institutions to be kept by
the superintendent for the purpose of COM
parison. Letters were received today by
the board that these articles have not ar
rived though long overdue. The goods are
submitted to the board by the merchant.
then If they are bought they are sent to
the institution and kept there to see If
the goods bought are up to the standard
of the sample They then become the
property of the state and are paid for.
The board does not know whether the goods
were lost enroute or were put enroute The
goods are taken care of by a janitor while
In the state house
Ed Lawrence f. Lucky.
Great gobs of luck have perched on the
broad shoulders of Ed Lawrence, bond
clerk in the office of the state auditor until
now fellow employees are rubbing him on
the head to get a share OF it. This spring
he drew plano in a guessing contest. He
drew a watch in a rattle; next he guessed
the exact score of the first Nebraska foot
ball game and got jack lot; next he drew
jackpot of several pieces on the Michigan
game, barely missing the score. Yesterday
though, was the climax. His mother wrote
for him TO get her pair of shoes, lined,
which she could not get at home Lawrence
bought them. Today he received a letter
from the merchant that he was the fiftieth
! customer to buy shoes in certain time
and enclosed check for the money he paid
for the shoes. That is all to date.
Place for Someone.
For reasons not given, Dr. Emma E.
Robbins, third assistant physician at the
Hastings asylum for the chronic insane, to-
day rendered her resignation to Governor
Mickey and it was accepted. The resigna-
ton takes effect November L
Draw the Line on Brides.
While the Board OF Public Lands and
Buildings has not passed upon the matter
as a board, individually the members are
opposed to the members of the Soldiers
home bringing under the common roof
tree sprightly young brides under so years
OF age, which some Of them contemplate
doing. The matter was brought to the at
tention OF the board some time ago by
Superintendent Askwith, but as yet no off,
cial action has been taken in the matter
It is the sense of the board that the super
intendent should not permit any member
OF the homo TO marry and bring TO the
home his bride providing she is able to care
/ for herself. It is the position of the board
members that the state should not be
called upon to care for anyone who is able
to care for himself or herself and espe-
cialy do they desire to place a ban on the
marrying proposition. OF course. If the SOL
der should marry a woman who is I'M
| able to care for herself the board would
allow him 10 bring her to the home. No
one under 50. however. can be taken into
the home, so the board anticipates few
applications from the bride crop of 1905.
Contractor is DiIitOry.
Secretary Galusha returned this morning
| from Grand Island where he went to look
! over the home for old soldiers The barn,
for which the contract was let in August
and which should have been completed by
! this time. the secretary said had not been
/ started and it is likely the board will
adopt heroic methods to bring the con-
! tractors to time. The home. Mr.. Galusha
! said, was in excellent shape and he compH-
/ mented Commander Askwith for the way
| he is managing the institution. Just at
| this time the commander is under the
weather. but expects TO be all right
/ shortly.
