Owing to the breaking of a bannister against which some young men. were leaning at the rear of the opera house stairway while listening to a concert, Walter Cooper and Walter Stau-ffer were thrown to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet, narrowly escaped death.

i H. F. Schwan left this week for Mt Pleasant, Ia, to attend a meeting of the board of control of the German Methodist college of that city. The ladles of the Alpha club held their annual meeting at their rooms In this city elected new officers for the Making PR of the illustrations for this work and Is helping otherwise In Its preparation. On account of Its comparatively recent development snd tha rapid alvsnce made In (he study of botuny within the last decade, modern and authoritative works on the nubject are comparatively rare snd make a work, sucii as the one Dr, Clements Is now preparing doubly valuable, It was In the study of botany that Dean Pound slso first became knowr: outslds of his own state; and hli work and writing on that aubject have been of a high character.

The extent of his reputation In ta lit work In shown by the fact that a famous Oermun bot anist has named after Dr. Pound a vegetable species discovered only a few years ago. In their work In the botanical department Dr. Found ard; Dr; Clements covered much of ths state i together, gathering: specimens anl studying the flora, of which there Is a remarkable vnrloty, considering the amount of natural ly seml-nrlil hi ml In the state. Their rennnreh hsfbeen careful find so extensive tlmt thoy are practically unquestioned as the authorities on the flora of Nebraska.

On account Of weakened eyesight, as well as for other reasons, Dr, Pound has done but little work In recent years In botany, but has turned his attention to the He has written two works on law aubjecti that are now used es textbooks In' the stato university, Snd hajs contributed frequently to the leading law tnagnslnes. He has been delegate several times to conventions for uniform state legislation' and his addresses before that body as well as before the National Bar association have attracted much attention. The simultaneous departure of these two men, who have studied, thought, taught and written at the university and have done all of 1hese things effectively, Is considered by officers and friends of the university as an Irreparable loss to the Institution. They are both natives of this state snd city and grsduates of the university and havu always been loyal and patriotic alumni It Is doubted It tha university will be able to get men of equal ability for years, and those who should know declare that the Institution never can got meaf who will be more faithful to her Interests and more energetic In her upbuilding. Chancellor AndYews suspended from the university ysterdny Tale Holland and Walter Weber, the two young meiv who were court-martialed during the cadet encampment at Beatrice, for dis orderly conduct.

At the court-martial Commandant Wprklser of the battalion advised that the men be suspended and Dr. Andrews acted upon that after carefully consMVringr the matter. The suspension will not cause the young men to lose any of the year's work, for both of them are practically through with their examinations, but as a disciplinary measure it Is Just as effective as If made earlier In the year. Both of the men' suspended are members of the class of '09 and are officers In the cadet battalion. The misconduct they were guilty of was Interfering with a guard In tho discharge of bis duty and Impersonating the officer of the day.

Ha ad vises the board to go ahead and build the bridges, using the moneys In the bridge fund for the purpose. He informs the board that large stocks of excellent oak lumber may ha found right here in Lincoln, -which can be used by the county in replacing tho spans that were swept out last week In the north part of the county by the high water. The commissioners have declared that lumber of the kind needed In bridge maklusr cannot be found In the city In sufficient quan tity to do any good. No piling is avail able, they say. Last week the commissioners ad dressed the following note to Mr.

Tyrrell: "Conditions have arisen owing to floods in the northern part of the county, necessitating the reparation of bridges washed out and damaged. We would respectfully request you to write us defining the course we should pursue In replacing these bridges and out of which funds we can pay for the same." Mr. Tyrrell's reply, sent yesterday forenoon. Is a follows: "Tour esteemed favor of the th In which you state that 'conditions have arisen owing to floods In the northern part of the county necessitating the replacing of bridges washed out and damaged, and requesting me to define the course you should pursue In repairing such bridges, and asking me to state the funds out of which said bridges shall be paid for, Is at hand, and In reply will say that bridges are paid for out of the bridge fund. "There Is at the present time, about twenty-three thousand $23,000) dollars In that fund, all of which available for Immediate use, and after the levy for the year 1907 has been made, 85 percent of the amount levied for this year may also be used if necessary.

Section 8 of the Session Laws of 1879, amending chapter 47 of the laws of 1866. does not control the provisions of section 85A, house roll 423, Session Laws of 1905, referring to emergency repairs. "Undoubtedly the conditions whicn you describe are such as to require Immediate attention, and you have the authority to declare that an emergency exists, and to enter Into a contract or or contracts for the building or repair ing of any culvert, bridge or bridges, or any approach thereto; or to buy material and hire labor to do said work. As you have heretofore been advised, Inasmuch as you have already advertised for bids during the present year, and as such bids have been rejected, you "have i-the-authority-- to purchase necessary labor to construct or repair bridges and culverts to be built by the county within the current year. Tou will find a large stock of excellent oak bridge lumber, also cement and other material necessary for the constructing and repairing of bridges snd culverts, for your Immediate use In this city, and at other points In the county.

"From the reports made to me by taxpayers and road overseers, many of whom have been in your office, 1 am satisfied that theraare a large number of bridges, especially In the northern part of the county, which need Immediate attention and have needed such attention for a long period of such cases should damage occur the county might become involved In expensive litigation and Individuals might receive painful injuries, where no legal liability exists against the county. "Tou have undoubted and ample authority to Immediately proceed to buy the necessary machinery and material and hire the necessary labor and foreman to do-any work of constructing or repairing bridges necessary to be done.

Davis, president of the local chapter, will preside at the meeting. Ever since the organisation of tho Nebraska chapter in 1895, the custom of securing some prominent scholar or author to address the members of tho graduating class at the beginning of commencement week each year has been strictly followed, and the Hut Includes several famous men. The following are the orators and thnlr subjects: '(, 1898 Rov. William -M. Klnrald.

"The lnfluer.ee of Educated Men XTpon National Life." 1897. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, "The Progress of Society." 1898. Dr.

Prof. Fredrick J. Turnar. In alt the large universities of the east the Phi Beta Kappa oration Is one of the Important events of the commencement season' and tha speakers are often the greatest orators of tho day. Some of tha famous names among the Phi, Beta Kappa orators are: Webster, Choate, Emerson, Everett, Phillips, Beecher, Story, Parsons, Futnam, Peabody, Sumner: and somo of the notable poems have been by Bryant, Emerson, Holmes, Longfellow, Gray, Sargcant, Taylor, Bret Jlarte, Stedman and Stoddard.

The Phi Bela Kappa society was organised at William and Mary college, Williamsburg, December 5, 177. There seems to be no ground for the belief that It was founded by Thomas Jefferson, but that It began as a literary and debating club. No branch organizations were formed until about five years later, when chapters ware organized at Harvard and Tale, Since that time Its growth has been constant until It Includes all the principal universities of the United States. Among Dr. Clement's literary works probably the one that is best known here is a botanical laboratory manual.

In the production of which Irving S. Cutter, who graduated from the university In 1898 and now resides In Lincoln, collaborated with Dr. Clements. The manual is now useif In the botanical department of the university and In generally considered one of the best text books of Its kind In existence. Since the publication of the laboratory manual, Dr.

Clements has devoted much of his spare time to a general work on the subject of botany, not only treating the subject mora broadly but developing details more elaborately than any of his previous works.
