The drafting of plans will be done in the offices at the bare cost of the labor. The board of regents has agreed to purchase the additional ground needed for the structure providing the money for the building of the stadium is furnished by student, alumni and general subscription. Tearing up of the present track field will leave the track squad without a place to train. It has been suggested that the Lincoln high school track might be secured temporarily, as the high school used the university field for football purposes for several years. This would enable plans for the stadium to develop more rapidly than otherwise possible.

The show man looked bewl derea. He removed Mb hat and wiped his spectacles for a better look at. a city official who could refuse something for nothing. Unwritten history has it that a long, long time ago a emplove took unto himself a stack or free circus tickets.

Nor have oilmen accepted so much as one ticket At least never has there been admission of it. To Change Ordinance. The present license fee schedule for circus is based on number of rings and not on the size oi the show. Had the law been enforced to the letter, there probably would have been no parade.

For the law says $200 for more than two rings. Councilman, Informally, have decided that shows of from twenty to thirty oars should not pay as much of a rax as the show with forty five cars.

DIAMOND Lancaster County Churches of Missouri Synod to Hold Services at Epworth Park Sunday. The great increase in the number of transmission lines in Nebraska and their construction in territory covered by telephone, telegraph and railroad signal systems has raised a big question that the supreme court is called upon to decide in a case appealed from the state railway commission to the supreme court.

It is whether the transmission lines, where they interfere with other wire operation. must find another route. Commission Rules On a Case. A diamond Jubilee service, commemorating the foundation of the Missouri aynod of the Lutheran church, will be held Sunday, July 2, at Epworth league park. The celebration will be under the auspices of churches of the Missouri synod in Lancaster county.

The congregations to participate include those of Trinity, Our Re deomer and Emmanuel of Lincoln; and those at Eagle, Walton. Kramer, Malcolm, Pleasant Dale. Representatives of churches in Saline and Steward counties wtl also attend. A congregation of about 2,000 people is expected to be present. Two will he held: at a.

m. and 2:30 p. m. At the morning service, Rev. G.

Wolter of Arlington, will preach. In the afternoon the speakers will be Rev. M. Sheips of Pierce, and Prof. August Schuelke of Reward.

Txjcnl pastors will assist in the scripture reading and other portions of the services. The Missouri synod was founded April 26, 1847, by a little band of 750 people who left Saxony in 1838 under religious pressure. They started their Journey in five chartered ships. One of the ships was lost. The other four after stormy passage landed at New Orleans.

The greater part of the pilgrim party settled south of St. Louts where they had purchased 4.440 acres of land. Pastor C. P. W.

Waltber, one of the younger immigrant pastors, rose to leadership. Thru his executive genius and the publication of a Luth eran periodical, a host of Lutherans were rallied in the various slates for the founding of the synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states, at Chicago in 1847. The synod Is now the largest tmJ? pendent synod of Lutherans in the Fulted It has a membership of 1,023,150, 4,166 congregations and mlesion stations, 1,274 parish schools, fifteen seminaries and colleges and sixty-eight charitable institutions. A new million dollar seminary is to be erected at 8t. Louis, to be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1924.

A tract of seventy-one acres opposite Forest park has been purchased as a site for the new buildings. The Missouri synod at present is made up of twenty five district synods It maintains the. only formidable protestant, weekday parish school system, numbering 1,310 organized parish schools, attended by over 73,000 chill ren and taught by over 1,500 trained parish school teachers and 489 pastors. There are five privately owned high in the synod. Both foreipi and domestic mission w'ork is main tained on a large scale.

Each congregation In the synod "has already observed the jubilee independently. Trinity Lutheran at Lincoln held a celebration May 7, and other churches at various periods. The churches In Seward county had a un ion celebration two weeks awo at the Seward fair grounds which was attended by about 5.000 people. A letter from President Harding, acknowledging notice of the jubilee date and extending congratulations and felications, calls attention to the parallel between the migration of the from Saxony and the voyage of the Mayflower two hundred years ealier. The president confessed previous ignorance of the migration the Mississippi valley in 18U8.

The case is one in which the commission refused to permit a transmission ds to be run between tho town of Maxwell and the city of North Platte, passing thru the town of Brady. The commission based its opinion upon a finding that the 13.200 volt line of the applicant wou'd interfere with the operation of the telephone systems, the Union Pacific signal service and the telegraph lines on the Lincoln highway now In place, and that another rouie was available for the transmission company. The attorneys for the company, which is urging the appeal in the names of the two villages mentioned, say that the lines in question are grounded, and not being constructed according to the standard metallic method are not entitled to be protected from inductive interference. They say that the law requires wire companies to be equipped in such a manner as experience has shown to be the best. They are not required, it admitted, to be reconstructed every time an improvement in construction with the prevailing standards, which in this case, is metallic construction When tlie transmission lines arr built according to the highest standards they cannot he interfered with on the ground of possible inductive interference.

When they comply with the statutory requirements and the specifications of the commission, give reason able protection to existing lines and operated with reasonable which doesn't mean safety at all times cannot be denied the right to construct by the shortest possible route, the attorneys claim. The contention is made that the legislature has given the transmission companies equal rights with other wire concerns and they cannot be elbowed off the road where they can sferve patrons at the least expense. It was testified to by Union Pacific experts that the signal system is a delicately-organized affair, and that induction from high tension wires might clear a block when It is actually occupied, and thus cause disaster. The attorneys for the transmission company insist that the Union Pacific is not within the scope oi the law requiring clearance between electric lines in parallel. The commission is in receipt of a letter from the clerk of Brady in which he says that the village is not interested in the appeal, has not authored the taking of one and will not stand any of the expense.

He said that the town had voted bonds and given them to the Herrlngson Construction company of Omaha, which had sold them. It will not give back the money, until the case Is decided, and it is in their interest that the suit is being pushed. Maxwell twenty-two miles from North Platte Brady is 12.5 miles Maxwell is producing current now at a cost of fortv-seven cents a kilowatt hour, and if tt can get thru to North Platte can get it for seven ceuts for the first 500 kilowatts and six cents thereafter.

She said that rink, in order to avoid payment, had transferred lands and an automobile to his wife, and she desired to subject these to her debt. The lower court found that what she said was true, but that as both the lands and the auto had been sold before the judgment, which in nine years old, had been sought to be enforced, the estate of Mrs. Frink had not been increased any by the transaction and no judgment could be against her.
