LINCOLN, Nov. 9-(Special.) much graft
1cation is expressed among students Of the
State university over the election of Fred
Abbott to membership on the Board of Re
gents. Mr.. Abbott has kept in close touch
with the university and the students since
leaving college, and he is in a good position
to know what Is needed in the management
AS soon as he takes his place the matter Of
the regents furnishing textbooks to the
students at cost will be taken up with Mr.
Abbott and a different result is expected
than that which attended the efforts of the
pupils in the past. Another reform that Mr.
Abbott is expected to bring about is omen
meetings of the Board Of Regents, especially
those meetings where large sums of money
are spent
A number of students who have entered
the agricultural college have made com
plant OF the enormous cost Of books. and
these will call upon the new board as soon
as it is organized.
Superintendent Crabtree of the Peru Nor
NAL was In Lincoln today and he said his
school was working nicely under the new
textbook rule. At that institution the books
are rented to the pupils at nominal cost
or sold to them at actual cost. The pupils
have been saved thousands of dollars and
at the same time the state has not had to
expend cent of its money, as the system
pays its own way.
Nemaha Gets in First.
Nemaha county is the first county in the
state to get its official election returns to
the secretary Of state.

these things should be worn. The order is
as follows:
Aiguillettes will be worn attached to the

to be hung, before the coat is buttoned &c
