From a staff Corr spondent.)

LINCOLN. Nov. 17--(Speoial.)-The state
Normal board. with all members present,
voted to visit the Wayne normal school
tomorrow and inspect the buildings and
grounds with a view to buying the school
for the state. The late legislature APP
propriated $4,000 for this purpose, but
owing to the fight the democratic leaders
made to Dust the Normal board the matter
was necessarily delayed until the courts
decided the Shallenberger board had no
right to exist.
The board met in the office Of the state
treasurer, 1t being the first meeting Of
the board has held since July, when the
governors board sought to take charge Of
affairs. 1t decided to refer the matter
Of the proposition Of Alliance for the loca-
ton Of the new normal school to the at
torney geenral to secure an opinion as to
the rights Of the board under the law in
this matter. The law provides that within
ten days after September / proposals from
the towns desiring the new school shall be
filed with the board. Alliance was the
only town to make It's proposition accord.

The board today began its business lust
where 1t left off and audited and passed
upon $4,000 worth of claims. including the
pay roll Of both Kearney and Peru normal
schools. The claims from the Kearney
school were as follows: Pay roll, 500, 9S4.5O;
claims against the maintenance fund, g.
s5z77; repairs, S1,O6S!79; library. sS79.69;
travelling expenses of principal, 1886 Prin-
cipal Crabtree Of the Peru normal had not
figured his vouchers, but the board esti-
mated that the total bills allowed would
reach nearly $4,000.
Following the visit to Wayne, the board
will meet here December 2 at which time
the matter Of the new buildings at Peru
and Kearney will be taken up.
Applications were received from parties
who desire to be principal Of the Wayne
school should it be bought.
The meeting of the board was like a re-
union OF old college "chumps." Secretary
Luther P. Ludden, of course, was the first
on the ground with the minutes Of the
meeting already prepared, and next came
Treasurer Brian to unlock his office. Then
the others and Principal A. o. Thomas of
Kearney, and a general Handwriting and
expressions of good wilHoccurred. The Rev.
Mr.. Ludden had a copy of the opinions
In the normal board case and he explained
to the board that the court not only
swatted the law. because it amended the
Kearney normal law, but also, because the
law amended another Independent act, the
Junior normal school act. Thus, in two par.
t~iculars, the law was bad.
After the board got down to business
Principal Crabtree came to the meeting
with a hand full Of vouchers and was Gerry
cordially received regardless of the varl
Gus rumors about his scalp now being &
half inch off his head.
The members of the board left tonigh'

Candidates for the vacancy in the
