U n if r n r M ill n Owin" to my late illness we have been a little late with "county to understand that we have the tfoods visit to Our Store will soon convince you. It is easy to create a new style without re gard to pastor present vogue; but to make a style that is beautiful, in accord with the pre sent tendencies, and, at the same time, en tirely acceptable to the tasteof practical Amer ican women calls for the work of the most expert style artists. In Wooltex Gar ments our designers not only show the best and latest thoughts of the leading fashion centers, but they give expression to their own ideas for the fashion able and practical American women. Our Wooltex Garments do not show a radical de parture. They are in style the newest style but not obtrusively so. They retain their shape, too. n U n inn Bushels Early IUU Ohio Potatoes 39c per bushel. Rais ed near Plattsmouth. 8 Rjj.

DC DC our Spring Opening, but we want the people of Cass they want, and at prices to suit the times, as a DRESSED Is Life Worth Living? Is it? What a foolish question! The birds aroused you this morning. They were twittering under your window, perhaps laying plans for the summer, and discussing the little home that is to be, far up in the branches of some great tree. When you had rubbed the sleep out of your eyes you left the house that had been almost a prison during weary winter months and went into the park. The great change is com ing. Buds are swelling and the lilacs can hardly wait for the warm breezes, the soft rain and the golden sunshine that is to transform them into masses of fragrance. The air feels good. It is clean and wholesome. You fill your lungs with it and for the moment age falls from your shoulders and you want to shout and run. Through the dead leaves the green grass is rising. The patches that have felt the sun are al ready emerald carpets. The soil is full of moisture, and the brook that was ice bound a few days ago purls and trills and trickles and makes music as sweet as the laughter of a child. There's a bluebird and a robin yes, dozens of them. Where did they come from? How did they know that the door had been thrown open and that Old Mother Nature was bidding them a smil ing welcome? Who knows? Whocares? It is enough now that they are and that their chirps and twitterings are the signs that the death hand of Win ter has been removed and that the beautiful world is again to blossom and make happy the soul of mankind. Yes, life is worth living. - Cupid to Interfere. It is rumored that Cupid has invad ed the public schools of this city and that not many weeks will pass away until he will claim at least three of our most efficient school ma'ams. It seems that this is not only the case in the Plattsmouth schools, but his darts have pierced the hearts of several of our pretty rural teachers. It has the appearance of an epidemic in Cass county, and If Dame Humor is to be relied upon our schools will be inter fered with to a considerable extent, and first-class teachers will be in great demand in this county nest fall.

It is laughable to read the efforts made by some republican papers to explain the Garfield report on the beef trust, and bow the packers only made 99 cents on each animal slaughtered; and why the price of fat cattle and the price of beef on the block do not indicate the profit made by the pack ers. Now if these apologists will only explain how men who began as day laborers at the sticking table 25 years ago, and are now millionaires after working their way into partnership with packers, they can cover about all the ground and enlighten a much be fuddled public. If the difference in price of beef on the hoof and on the block does not indicate to some extent the profit made by the packers; then if the price of fat steers were 10 cents a pound and the price of beef on the block 9 cents, it would not indicate a loss to the packers, and might indicate a profit. But Garfield would say that is a fool proposition, to suppose beef could be sold for less than fat cattle per pound and the packers still make a profit; and yet that is as reasonable and logical a conclusion as the one he made when he says the cost of fat cat tie per poud and the selling price of beef on the block, do not indicate the profit or the amount of gain to the packer; that is the say: if fat cattle were selling at 4 cents and beef at 16 cents, the packers might not be mak ing more than 99 cents a head on each animal slaughtered. It was also shown that these packers in the middle and western states handle 98 per cent of all the fat animals of their sections, and 45 per cent of the total in the country, then, why, you will ask, do not these packers make more than 99 cents a head, when they handle near ly the whole product and can fix prices to suit their desires? There is a screw loose somewhere. Probably Teddy can locate it. An Independent Life. This is the season of the year when Nebraska begins to look at her best. Everywhere from across the broad farm lands comes the hum of awaken ing rural me. wnai ooy would give the pure, free and independent life on the farm for a miserable, selfish exist ence in the crowded city, where the excitement that attracts is like the flame of the candle lures the moth to its death? Why is it that so many men and boys would rather loaf on the streets of the towns and cities, when they can find employment on the farm for the asking. Is it because they are THE CASS COUNTY SCHOOLS Matters Pertaining to Teachers and Pupils of the Rural Districts. (By County Sn jmtI ntin U-ul Vrl man.) Miss Sadie Rivott. for three years leaclier in No. Just east of El'u-i wood, will le tin." inteniiftJiiite leath er at EutMe next year. "I have did my best," etc., writes one of the older teachers. This is a thoughtless habit and nothing else. Visited No. ., south of Katfle, last Wednesday afternoon. They have too manv chanires in teachers in this dis trict to do the best work. The school is only a tr'tle more than lone mile by air line from Eagle. A plan for trans porting the school to Eagle might well be considered. There are two others each less than two miles from town limits. It would be a mutual benetit to bring them all together, but it should not be done until all see the mutual advantages at decreased ex pense. School No. tot, southwest of Elm- wood, was visited Thursday morning. Miss Hollenbeck is the teacher. Work progressing very well. A goodglobe has recently been added, and a good library will soon be installed, the money being on bands in sufficient amount to secure a large list. After making a short visit at the school southeast of Elmwood, where Miss James teaches, a second visit al so, where 1 spent tne aiternoon 01 Thursday in No. 51, Miss Rivett teach er. This is a well kept and well dec orated building. A number of framed Perry pictures being used. The pu pils were interested and at work. It was my first visit and 1 observed good work in spelling, penmanship, and drawing kept in perfect form. For opening exercises each one, down to the wee tots, responded with a quota tion, one repeating all of the 23rd Psalm. They read well, too. It is a deserved promotion for the teacher to take one of the grades in Eagle in Sep tember. Miss Bird, the past two years in Dis trict 71, was visited Friday There were fourteen present. All seemed to be feeling good over the school enter tainment and supper held the Friday previous in which $28.50 was cleared This will be judiciously expended for ibrary and other purposes. Miss Bird s a live teacher and it will be with regrets that she will leave the county the coming year to join her own peo ple who have some time since migrat ed to Kansas. The Louisville and Elmwood boards have elected teachers for next year. Both principals have been retained at increased salaries respectively, and with one exception in each instance all the present corps were retained also. Miss Grace Hilton has been selected to fill the place in Elmwood and Miss Anna Towle, who has been the pri mary teacher in South Bend for three years, goes to Louisville. Each town has had a generally successful school year. Kim wood is on the accredited list of the state university. If she would extend her ben fits to some of the adjacent school districts there, it would be a mutual help. By so doing these outside schools (there are six near enough to be transported into town with no greater mileage than one of the districts near Alvo that trans ports) could then go eleven years in stead of eight years before leaving their own homes for a resident school, and the cost for all coneerned need be no more, and in the long run would surely be less. Until we have a free attendance high school law the coun try pupils have only eight years free schooling. The four years intervening between them and the first year in the state university must be filled in by paid, instead of free tuition. Let the patrons of those school districts lying near enough to town schools to suggest transportation, give the matter due consideration. Let it then be discussed at the annual meeting. If it then seems best to all who are interested. let steps be taken for a year's trial. plan is growing and is gaining in pop ularity in many osher counties and states. Where roads are reasonably good, and the distance not too great, it may well be seriously considered. Fire Near Elmwood. Dan Rumelin, a young farmer living with his mother four miles west of Elmwood, lost his barn and four head of horses on Friday even i ng about 8:30 o'clock. He was sitting in the house reading at the time and hap pened to look out of the window and saw his barn in flames. He was un able to save anything, but by the timely arrival of his neighbors a crib of corn near by was saved without much damage. The property was in sured in the Farmers' Mutual of Ne braska, and as to the origin of the fire it is a mystery as he had not been FIFTY CENTS I N some conditions the gain from the use of Scott's Emulsion is very rapid. For this reason we put up a fifty-cent size, which is enough for an ordinary cough or cold or useful as a trial for babies and children. In other conditions the gain is slower health cannot be built up in a day. In such cases Scott's Emulsion must be taken as nourishment; a food rather than a medicine. It's a food for tired and weak digestions. Send for fre mpl Scott & Bowne. 409-415 p.ri St. Cb.ml.t. New York 50c. aluT$i.oo. Alt druirrlt Commissioners Proceedings.
