GOSSIP FROM THE STATE HOUSE. Hitch Over the Annual Report from the Peru Normal School. LINCOLN, Feb. 10.-(Special.)-So far no report has been received by the governor of affairs at the State Normal school at Peru. The constitution provi that the superintendent or head of the educational Institutions shall make such a report. Mr. Maret, the governor's private secretary, wrote to Prof. A. W. Norton, superintendent of the school, and requested a report. Prof. Norton replied that State Superintendent of Public Instruction Corbett was the proper person to furnish the required document. Prof. Corbett says that as he is only secretary of the educational board, his duties begin and end with the keeping of the minutes of meetings. With financial reports of receipts and expenditures of the State Normal school he has nothing whatever to do. This is the condition in which the school remains at present. Prof. Norton has been notified of Superintendent Corbett's position, but nothing has since been heard from him at the governor's office.

Walker, the condemned Dawson county murderer, has written a long, rambling letter to Governor Holcomb in which he accuses the people of that vicimity of persecuting him in some illegal manner which is not made exactly clear in the context of the strange and wildly worded epistle.
