NORMAL APPROPRIATIONS.

! Up at Weston they have been fig
uring out the total amount OF money
the normal school has received from
the state since the institution was
first established back in 1891. 1t has
been found that during the IS years
since the eastern Oregon normal was
established the school has been given
by the state a sum in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. This amount COW
ers both buildings and maintenance,
though not the buildings and grounds
donated by the town of Weston.
1t is understood that the other nor
nal schools have not been even as
fortunate as Weston. During the past
two years Monmouth has been run
ming entirely on money from private
sources. 1t is very doubtful if the
grand total Of the normal school ap-
pIopIldllphS III tlle h4SNoIs VI CiSbOA
amount to as much as 100000, the
amount that was appropriated for the
Lewis & Clark fair.
This is the extent of the normal
school graft" In 20 years the nor
NAL schools have not used more
money than was voted at one time
for the benefit of Portland. Yet the
affairs Of the normal schools have
been so misrepresented by their enc
mics that the average man has got
ten the impression that each normal
las been getting about a half million
from the state every two years
Truth is mighty" says an old pro-
xerb. But so is a persistent libel.

FOREVER AND A DAY.

l little know or care
II the blackbird on the bough
Is filling all the air
with his soft crescendo now;
For she is gone away,
And when she went she took
The springtime in her look.
The peachblow on her cheek.
The laughter from the brook,
The blue from out the May-
And what she calls a week
Is forever and a day!
It's little that | mind
How the blossoms, pink or white,
At every touch of wind
Fail a-trembling with delight:
For in the leafy lane,
Beneath the garden boughs,
And through the silent house
one thing alone l seek.
Until she comes again
And what she calls a week
Is firever and a day!

COUNTRY TRIBUTARY TO

big Horn basin Makes Remarkable
Strides, Says G. G.. Burnham
of Burlington.

"A vast area OF irrigated land and newly
developed country is being settled this
spring In the Big Horn basin, which is
tributary to Omaha. The settlers will
send their products to Omaha and buy
from the jobbers Of Omaha" said c. G..
Burnham, assistant to the first vice presi-
dent OF the Burlington, who, with c. e.
Spens. general freight agent, and ]. e.
Buckingham. assistant general passenger
agent returned Monday evening from a
tour or inspection of the Big Horn basin.
That which impressed me the most was
the wonderful development of the irrigated
sections. Under the 81. 000,0 900 government
Irrigation project settlers are fIocking in.
One unit OF 1870 acres is all taken up and
another OF 1900 is nearly all gone. The
little houses OF the homesteaders may be
seen. where but a short time ago, there
was not a house to be seen.
On the trip from Cody to Thermopoli,
we saw 5000 acres OF irrigated lam under
cultivation and we could not help but thinl
Of the great benefit Of this new territor,
to Omaha"

face from being thrown from a broncho II

on the part of Mr.. Spens saved both from

Hatchet Blows

Imaginary Hacking of Heads En-
ployed to Show Laura Porter
Killed Chenault.

FIFTY or more imaginary blows with a
olood-rusted Ratchet were struck in district
court Tuesday in illustration of the way
Laura Porter hacked James Chenault, alias
John Dempsey.
First County Attorney English barred his
head to the Ratchet welded by DR.. w. r,
Lavender and later Henry Murphy's era
mum proved impervious to the taps admin
istered by Judge Ben Baker.
DR.. Lavender declared that four POUNDS
had been made in Dempsey's head, two
or which were natal. III intimated that
the man must have been lying down when
the blows were struck. On cross-examlna
ton 1t was attempted to make him declare
that his opinion of how the blows fell was
all theory" The physician preferred t.
say his answer was based on the facts. -
DR.. c. &c. Sapp followed him on the stand
He testified that he asked Dempsey severa'
times who had struck him and Dempsey
invariably answered, IT don't know" tt
statement is regarded as valuable to tn,
prosecution, which says It helps to show
that Dempsey was asleep when the woma
attacked him.

Joseph Harris and Other Owners Of

Directors and officers, Of the Independent

The company has missed some payments
on its bond interest, but has made arrange

sions of the bonds the holders cannot lake
action because Of a default on Interest
until six months nave expired, and moi
then without a two-thirds vote. This gives
the company good time in which to make

BOARD CANNOT RAISE WARD
Regents Take No Action on Dean Of
Medical College.
NO MONEY AT IT'S COMMAND
Secretary DnIes says Dr. ward Has
Not Yet Notified Regents OF Any
Plans 90 Leave the Me-
braaka school.

No move was made by 80 University OF
Nebraska Board Of Regents, in session at
North Platte yesterday, looking to the re-
tention Of DR.. Henry b. Ward at the head
OF the medical college Of the university.
Secretary ]. s. Dales Of the regents,
stopping over in Omaha on his return from
the North Platte meeting, is the authority
for this statement.
'"The regents" said Secretary Dales, had
received no official word from DR.. Ward
to the effect that he had been offered a
position in New York and Illinois at a
higher salary than he is now receiving at
Nebraska, and consequently were not in
a position to do anything.
"Dr. Wards resignation has not yet come
before the regents and until it does the
board will not take any action toward
keeping him at Nebraska.
1T is not likely, however, in case Or.
Ward should resign that the regents would
be able to offer him any greater induce
ments in the way of salary than he is now
receiving.
The board does not have the money at
it's TO pay higher salaries to the
Nebraska instructors. IL it had had the
money 1t never would have allowed Drs.
Clements. Pound and Costisan to leave our
state school. Those were among the best
men in the Nebraska faculty, but they all
were offered great increases in salary to
go to Minnesota and Northwestern, and
accepted when the Nebraska Board OF Re
gents was unable to meet the offers OF
the other schools.
Let the Alumni Act.
THE alumni of Nebraska Is the best
source for securing DR.. Wards retention
at Nebraska If he finds that the higher
salaries of the eastern schools are tempt
ing enough to lead him to accept them.
The alumni can do a great deal toward
showing the lawmakers OF the state that
the university will have to have more
money for its instructors, and they ought
to educate the people of the state to see
things as they really are. 1t is time
the people of Nebraska came to realize
that its great university is losing many
Of it's best teachers simply because the
legislatures will not allow enough money
for paying salaries that meet the scale
Of those paid by the eastern and other
western colleges"
At North Platte the regents inspected the
experiment station of the university and
appropriated money for erecting a building
for the employees at that place.
