INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT EXTENSIVE
(From a staff correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov, 2.-(Special.)-
The State Teachers association will begin
It's sessions tomorrow. The Industrial ex-
hibit at the City auditorium is about all
in place and is the most extensive exhibit
ton of the kind ever made at a teachers
meeting here.
Many of the teachers are expected to
arrive in the morning and TO care for the
crowds, the secretary Of the Commercial
club has called upon the citizens to open
their homes to the teachers.
The Lindell hotel, which is undergoing
extensive repairs, has fitted up as many
rooms as possible for the use Of the
teachers and the indications are there will
be no need for any of the visitors being
crowded or disconnected.
Data on Railroad Laws.
U. G. Powell and L. f. wettling, repre-
senting the State Railway commission and
the legal department Of state, have re-
turned from Chicago, where they went to
take evidence and do some investigating
preparatory to the taking Of evidence in
the railroad case next week in Omaha. Mr..
Powell and Mr.. wettling have figured how
they can turn the statistics of the railroad
companies to the advantage Of the state,
and their visit to Chicago more than ever
impressed them with the correctness OF
theirNjdeas,
The cases to be heard in Omaha have to
do with the constitutionallty of the rail-
road legislation enacted by the legislature
Of 1907, including the 2-cent fare law and
the reduction in freight rates.
NJ. w. A. Tuberculosis Home.
Head Consul A. r. Talbot and other Of
Ulcers Of the Modern Woodmen Of America
have gone to Colorado Springs for an in
spection of the new tuberculosis sanltorium
established by the order and to work out
plans for its enlargement. Those accom-
p~anying Mr.. Talbot were A. N. Bort Of
Beloit, Wis, chairman Of the NJ. w. A.
board of directors, and E. E. Murphy of
Leavenworth, Kan, treasurer of the sani-
torium.
The institution was opened last January
and now contains 127 patients. 1t has a
group Of central buildings, with tent col
onies grouped about the grounds. Three
OF these colonies have been laid out al
ready, each with it's own utility building,
and there is room for several others. There
is a larger waiting list ofpatients, as the
sanitorium has not been able to take all
whose applications were presented. The en-
largement now in view will relieve some Of
the pressure. Five of the patients now be-
ing treated are from Nebraska.
Officials Can't Sell to City.
City Attorney Flansberg has officially
informed the members of the city council
that they cannot legally enter into con-
tract with the city and sell it goods. This
opinion came up as a result Of the action
of Alderman Hoppe in, selling hardware to
the city. Counclman Hardy objected to
the payment of the bill and the city at
torney was asked to decide the question,
and he did.
Dry Goods JobbinE House.
The city of Lincoln, through its COM
mercial club, is negotiating for a whole
sale dry goods establishment. The pro-
moters agree to put in $15O,OOO If the people
will give 100000 more. aa"
Divorces Granted in County.
During the month OF October twenty
eight divorces were granted in the dis
trict court Of Lancaster county. OF these
twenty were to women and eight to men.
The grounds upon which they were granted
were as follows: For cruelty and non-sup-
port, eight; for n~on-support, six; for
cruelty, six for abandonment, eight.
Because, as she alleges, Frank Patton
two weeks after their marriage ceased to
contribute to her support, Pearl Patton
has applied to the district court for a
divorce. She asserts that they were mar
ried in this city January 4, 1905, and dur
ing the two weeks that he supported her,
she alleges he was guilty Of cruelty. It is
further charged that he abandoned her
more than three years ago.
