| 1t is called and it is such a summing
| up of the presidents achievements
and activities as you will not find else
where. IT discloscs a hitherto unre-
ported conversation with the presi-

tells why he was elected once and might
have been elected again. This inter

Lincoln Star: The special commit
tee appointed by Speaker Pool brought
into the house Saturday a favorable
report on the proposed purchase of the
Wayne normal school The commit
tee reported that the place was worth
$165, 900 and that it was being offered
to the state for 100000 The bill APP
propriating this money was first re-
ferred to the committee on univer-
stiles and normal schools. This com
mittee decided to indefinitely post
pone the bill The members from the
northeast part of the state, with a
few exceptions, were eager for the
purchase of the school and and the
report of the committee rifles them.
Case, chairman of the university com
mittee, said that the present pro
moters of the Wayne normal school
had offered to pay the expenses of the
university committee to and from
Wayne if it would only float up that
way and see what the school was
worth. Case and his committee didn't
care to take the trip at the expense
of the interested parties. Thereupon
the Wayne promoters and the mem
bers from the northeastern part of the
state got busy and secured the selec.
ton of a special committee of seven
members. These members, appointed
at the request of those who wanted
the school to be purchased by the
state, brought in a favorable report.
The institution now has about 700
students enrolled. 1t is urged in favor
of the purchase of the college that the
school will close this year if the state
does not back it.
A new school district has been
formed which will be partly in Madi-
son and partly in Stanton county.
The district is south of this city and
