Consideration OF both bills was taken be-

bers because of Information the measures
were coming up. Senator Tibbets delayed
presentation Of the committee reports for

had been an understanding the measures

Purchase OF Wayne Normal.
The North Platte country received reclg-
milton at the hands Of the house of repre-
sentatives today after q hard fight. and as
a result the bill providing for the pur-
chase Of the Wayne Normal school was
recommended for passage.
Mcvicker Of Dodge moved an amendment
that the sioO.0 900 appropriation be increased
to $4,000 and to include the purchase of
the Fremont Normal school. This amend
ment. however. was taken to be an effort
merely to defeat the bill and II was killed.
Kuhl of CedaN, McCoil OF Gage, Bowman
og Nuckolls, Heffernan OF Dakota, Noyes
OF Cass and saberson all talked for the bin
and each believed II was a bargain for the
state to buy it. Wilson Of Polk, Taylor of
York and Kelley Of Furnas opposed the
measure.
II was reported on the floor Of the house
that the institution was worth twice as
much as asked for 1t and that n the presi-
dent Of the college had kept his health
and lived IL would not now be offered for
sale.
The objection Of Wilson was that the
house had already approved measures for
two normal schools in western and north
western Nebraska and he held II was out
OF the question for the state to provide for
three new normal schools at this session OF
tne leSlslathre.

preparation of $4,000. but 1t was cut dow
to $4,000.

county desire to submit a proposition tc
the voters for the guidance of their legis.
lators, they may do so on official ballot
was discussed for some time and then tn,
committee arose without taking action. The
MEASURE has seriously divided the majority
party in the house and many OF the mem.
bers wanted more time to think IL over,
