Parent should closley question their
children concerning their attendance at
school, especially this week while the
examination is going on. Complaints
have been heard from the teachers, as a
number of children are now not at
tending school, whether by the consent
of the parents, it is not known. If some
of the children were watched closely,
there would doubtless be little difficulty
in finding a truant occassionallv. See
that your children attend school!
Sheriff Eikenbary received a dis
patch from Grcely yesterday telling him
to arrest a man coming through on the
flyer in the afternoon. The whole police
force was summoned to meet the flyer,
and from all appearauces somebody was
in for it. After the train pulled in
no man answering the discription could
be found, and the disappointed cops
wore obliged to give up the hunt when
the train started to pull out. The ques
tion: "What are all the cops doing down
here?" issued from the crowd, but no
answer came.
Although the fine assessed Nichols
yesterday by Judge Pottenger was no

preside. Citizens of Lincoln interested
in the cause of education, and especially
Methodist brethren, are earnestly re
quested to attend. The evening meeting
will be of literary interest and a full

Pearsall sisters, of New York, vionlinists
of note, will assist in furnishing the

"all the preachers of the state will be
present," and this insures a happy meet
ing and a general feast of good things

Sheriff Eikenbary went to Council
Bluffs this morning to make an investiga
tion of the work done in that city by
rii-niir Tiiinn who was arrested here the
other day tor forgery, and an accomplice
uriWi-d vesterdav afternoon. The sheriff
had thirteen notes in his possession
which had been forged by Dunn, among
which he had four notes on two Council
Bluffs banks: Two on Officer & Pusey
and two on the Citizens bank there.
Last Wednesday after Duan had drawn
the -40 from the Cass County bank, hf
H. F. Wilson, went to the
Bluffs, whure it is said they worked the
banks. When only two cents could be
found upon Dunn's person after he wes
arrested, they wondered what had had
become of the money, but it is generally
supposed that the fellows "blew it in
while having ft time in the Bluffs. It
ice iwif-. known until vesterdav when
Sheriff Eikenbary questioned Dunn and
he fave his friend away, that Wilson
n.vw imnlirated in the forgery. Wilson
was arrested yesterday afternoon and
shortly after the arrest and while on his
way to the jail he rem irked to the sheriff:
"I did not think the fellow would go
luck on me that way."

Examination commenced Monday
morning with a full attendance, and the
lot of a teacher this week is not to be
envied.

Pupils sometimes give very queer an
swers to questions propounded. Per
example: "The rules for capital letters
are I. V. X. L. C. D. M." Also, A con
crete number is a number that cannot
be uttered without the aid of a vowel
sound." This is not much of an error
when you consider the amount of work
and the number of questions given to
each pupil. Their answers, as a rule, are
good, and some of the questions pro
pounded would astonish an average
district school marm.
The greatest trouble with this examin
ation is the fact that the pupils have lost
a month's school, and the latter part of
each term is taken up in review and that
part of the term is the most valuable to
a student.
Some of our chronic kickers prophesied
last year when the school grounds were
fenced that in less than a month it would
be torn or defaced, and that it was sim

Tremendous Cemet In the Heavens
A terrible ball of fire has recently been
discovered in the Heavens, and is said to
be approaching the Earth at the rate of
one hundred and seven million miles per
day. Astronomers are somewhat alarmed
as to the direction in which it is centered,
and tell us that if it does not change its
coarse, it will surely be the destruction
of the earth. It is estimated to be twelve
times larger than the great planet Jupi
ter, which is the largest planet of the
Universe. Astronomers tell as it will
soon be visible to the people of this con
tinent. It ran be easily observed by the
people of China and it is said that the
