The clumsy OCR fragment mentions contributions to a Nebraska Wesleyan debs fund, a transport to Manila, and political hints about 1904.

Carnegie Liberality Expands American Library Network

Carnegie's grants boosted public libraries nationwide. Across the United States there are 5 353 libraries with over 1 000 volumes, 3 878 with 300 to 1 000 volumes, and many more with 300 plus volumes. Total public library volumes exceed 45 610 509, up 21 014 951 in five years. Carnegie gave 3 008 500 to 34 libraries in 1899, 645 000 to 19 libraries in 1900, and by the current year had donated 12 148 400 to 46 libraries, totaling 916 297 000 to 159 libraries. The article notes a potential rise in public crime linked to urban conditions and criticizes the legislature in a long editorial aside.
