Those who were present on the occasion be sides Grandpa and Grandma Pollock were: T. H. Pollock and family, Mr. and Mrs. C. C, Parmele and family, and James Pollock of Omaha.

Hester, aged C8 years, was deserted by her husband in Omaha seventeen years ago, leaving her with a housefuil of children to care for. The husband was and is now drawing a pension, but just exactly where he is cannot be learned, A few months since she thought she would make him divide his pension, if there was any possible way of doing so. Mrs. Hester employed Judge Archer to look after the matter with the result that a few days ago he was informed that the woman who was thus deserted was justly entitled to one half of the pension granted the desert ing husband, and that she would be en titled to same from December 1, 19oo. In fact, she ought to have had the whole business from the date he left the poor woman with a half-dozen children to rear by hard work. Mrs. Hester is now living m St. Louis. The Doctor Away From Home When Most Needed. People are often much dissappointed to find that their family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like cramp colic cholera morbus repuire prompt treat ment, and have in many cases proven fatal before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. The right way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. No physician can pre scribe a better medicine for these dis eases. By having it in the house you escape much pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it now; it may save life. For sale by F. G. Fricke & Co. and A. T. Fried.

Ruling on Primary Law A special from Lincoln under date of July o, says: "To the co.;r.ty attorney : of Thayer county General Thompson has j given the following opinion in answer to ; the jUestion: "Does the new primary ! election law apply to the nomination of precinct oflicers in counties under com missioners organizations'."' "Section 2 of the primary law pro vides that all candidates for elective of fices shall be nominated by a primary except such as are expressly exernteii by the pr visions of the act. Subdivis- iol! of said section is as follows: "This act shall not apply to special elections to till vacancies, nor to muni - -it-.jl ..l..-t i. .n in r'itiJ: liyvitur T 1-1 u -1 .VVL,-.,,.. ... v... 25,000 population, village, township aa school district officers, nor to rneni'iers of school boards nor members of boards of education. " It will be seen from this thai precinct o:fieers are not exempted fr.-m tne pro- I he rainfall was below .loj-mal g visions of the act. This no doubt was i ally in the southern counties, and an oversight on the part of the one pre- paring the bi!i. I can see no good reason why township odicers should be exclud ed and precinct officers not. Inasmuch as al! elective officers are to be nomin ated by the primary except such as are expressly exempted, the exempted, can not be held to apply to precinct or'icers. Section of said primary ia-.v would ' seem to benr ont tnis construction. Jn that section it is provided in what man ner a tie vote on precinct officers may be determined, thus indicating that pre cinct otfkers came within the purview of the law. For these reasons I consider that the primary election law applies to pre cinct officers. Thrown From Baggy. Adolph Wesh, the well kr.owr p(!iu'ar old Cerrnan shoemaker, r.i as quite badly injured yesterday evening out near the M. P. tracks, by being thrown from his buggy into a wire fence. The old gentlemen, in company with his son-in-law were driving out in that direction, and in passing under the rail road tracks, the train came along and frigtened the horse, which suddenly shied to the side of the road and the occupants of the bug'jry thrown to the grown, be coming entangled with a near-by wire fence. Mr. Wesh was pretty badly bruis ed about the head and shoulders and one arm dislocated, and his right hand which came in contact with the wire fence was badly larcerated in the palm, as if he might have caught the same for support. Mr. Wesh struck the ground with such force that he was rendered unconscious for some time, and it was feared the accident had resulted fatally, but this morning he is able to be around town, and carries numerous bandages and has many sore spots as the exper ience of his sudden tombie. The young man came out of the accidental affair a little more fortunate, and with the experience of a few minor bruises and a number of bad rents in his clothing he was uninjured. Perfectly well satis fied with the damage already done it :s said the old horse stood near the scene of the accident until assistance arrived, and consepuently no damage was done to the vehicle. Teachers Want More Pay Reports show that the Summer Nor mal at Peru is being well attended. Educators throughout the state are making an earnest effort to obtain bet ter pay. Spurred on by the hope of better pay, the teachers of Nebraska are laboring earnestly each summer in the summer and junior normals of the state in order to be better prepared for their next year's work. Last year 6,000 teachers enrolled in the summer schools and junior normals, and State Superinten dent McBrien is satisfied that the at tendance this year will aggregate 6, . 500. One of the principal reasons for this splendid attendance is found in the fact that last year salaries of teachers in Ne braska were increased SM50, 0'. Dur ing the coming year the increase will aggregate SoOO.OOo more, making a total of more than $600,XiO, in two years. Much of this increase has been given to the county teachers who have been the worst underpaid people in any pro fession. However, the city teachers have also caught the fever and are in sisting on a raise from the school boards if they continne to "sit in" atthegame. Superintendent Davidson of Omaha is ' authority for the statement that the in- crease in wages of Omaha teachers i will amount to -StoT.ooO next year. In J Lincoln provision has been made for an I increase that will cost the taxpayers about 20,1(0'. I extra, but will more ntiy recompense the teachers. Besides these voluntary increases in the salaries of the teachers of Nebraska, the state will pay .?o!l.n;u for lengthening the school years of weak districts. It will also pay S5(i,mmi for norma! train ing in high schools. Tom Allen in Town T. S.
