They arrived in Louisville with
her body on Friday morning and the i
funeral occurred on the following
Sunday afternoon from the M. E.
church. The services were conducted j
by the Rev. David Simpson, the pas- .
tor. The churcli was filled with old
time friends who had assembled to j
pay their last tribute or respect anu
the many flowers testified to the es
teem and love for the departed.
A quartet, composed of Messrs.
William Schwalm, Martin Grefe,
Miss Edith Stander and Mrs. David
Simpson, rendered several beautiful
selections. The pallbearers were old i
time friends and all were members
of the I. O. O. F. organization of I
w hich Mr. Nichols is a member, and
were C. G. Mavfield, M. L. Williams,
George Wood. L. J. Mayfield, A. II.
Peterson and J. R. Noyes. Interment
did not take place until the next day,
however, as Mr. Echols was having
a cement mausoleum constructed in
the cemetery and it was not com
pleted until the following day. At
4 o'clock, after a short prayer by the
pastor, the body was laid away in
the vault, a large number of friends
being present to offer their sympathy
and consolation to the sorrowing
mily.
Mrs. Echols maiden name was
Charlotte Leecing. She was born No
vember 25, 1852, and at the time of
her death she was 72 years, 7 months
and 27 days old. She was born iu
Stockholm, Sweden, and came to this
country with her parents at the age
of one year. They settlesd in La
Salle, Illinois, and later moved, to
Ames, Iowa. November C, 1868, she
was married to John K. Nichols, at
the age of 16 years.
They settled on a homestead near
Greenwood, Nebraska. To this un
ion, three children were born. They
are Rose, now Mrs. T. F. Moats, of
Harrisville, West Virginia; Frank H.
Nichols, of Louisville, and Anna,
now Mrs. William Clark, of Lincoln.
In the year 1881, Mr. and Mrs.
Nichols and family moved to Louis
ville and Mr. Nichols engaged in
business until hia death, which oc
curred on January 19, 1897, and
bince that time his son, F. H. Nich
ols, has carried on successfuly the
business established by his father.
On March 23. 1S99, Mrs. Nichols
wa3 married to Frank S. Echols and
shortly thereafter they moved to
Bluefield, West Virginia, where they
made their home until about three
years ago they moved to their farm
in western Nebraska near Llewellyn,
in Garden county.
Mrs. Echols was of a quiet, home-
loving disposition, a devoted wife and '
mother and a true and faithful !
friend. She was a member of the ',
Swedish Lutheran church with which I
she united at the age of 14 and lived
a consistent Christian life, doing
many kind deeds of charity in her ,
quiet, unobtrusive way and she was
greatly beloved by all who knew her.
Her passing has brought sorrow to i
her family and friends who will miss
her sadly.
Besides her husband and three
children, she leaves five grandchil
dren. They are Hugo Moats, Harris
ville, W. Va., Mrs. George Dolan, Vo
line and Robert Nichols of Louisville,
and Ross Nichols of Omaha. She al

Borah Says Proposed International
Tribunal is Judicial
Despotism.
Boise, Idaho, July 30. A more
ambitious and presumptlous effort to
establish judicial despotism was never
conceived than the international
court operating under the league of
nations, which America is being urg
ed to join, Senator Borah told Boise
laborers at a meeting in the labor
temple here last night.
The chairman of the foreign re
lation committee of the senate said
he felt so strongly on the matter
that "if I had to tender my resig
nation in the senate or vote for this
court as it now stands, it wouldn't
take me one minute to resign." Mr.
Borah continued:
"I believe this court is dangerous.
The men urging it are not telling
you the truth about It. If they were,
I would leave it to the people for
a vote without opening my mouth.
"I do not want it thought that I
am opposed to world court in gen
eral. I have been advocating a court
for several years. A world court
should be created which it would
be safe for us to join and which
would help to promote the cause of
peace. I do not intend to bring up
charges in the present plan when
it comes before the senate I mean

NEW TEACHERS
SCHOOL LAW
GOES IN EFFECT
State Superintendent Matzen Places
Legislative Act Into Effect by
Issuing Certificates.
A new era in the certification of
teachers began in Nebraska, Tuesday
when State Superintendent Matzen
issued the first certificates under an
act of the legislature which went in
to effect July 2. This law is known
as the Wilson bill, introduced by
Representative Wilson of Chadron,
and drawn in the state superintend
ent's office
"That law puts Nebraska on a par
with Indiana, Ohio and Illinois and
far ahead of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and the Dakotas," said Superintend
ent Matzen. "The old law of 1919
was a catchword. The legislature that
year was confronted with two bills
backed by two factions
"The result was a compromise and
a law that was indefinite, full of du
plications and without a gradual rise
from one certificate to another and
with a multiplicity of classes of cer
tificates to be issued. The new law
reduces the number of classes of cer
tificates to nine, eliminates duplica
tion, provides for a gradual rise from
one certificate to another. Credits
earned by a teacher will not count on
a certificate of a higher class.
"Teachers must now depend upon
college hour credits tather than

"Under the old law there were two
issuing authorities, the county super
intendents issued two classes of cer
tificates and the state superintend
ent the others. County superintend
ents now approve this new law. They
had little authority under the old
law. The questions for examinations
were prepared by the state superin
tendent who also graded the examina
tion papers. The county superintend
ents merely issued the certificates.
"Under the old law when a
teacher moved from one county to
another she had to wait until her
grades were transferred to the coun
ty of her new residence, and so on
with every move she made from coun
ty to county. Now a teacher's cer
tificate is registered in any county
where the holder goes to teach and
his registration is without fee.
"In passing from the old law to
the new I was required to make new
rulings which have the effect of law.
I have tried to be fair to teachers.
Under these rulings no teacher is
required to do more under the new
law that she would have had to do
under the old law had that remained
in force. The new law is not retroac
tive. All certificates issued under
the old law are valid until the ex
pire." State Journal.
SOME STRANGE THINGS
HAPPEN IN MONTANA
TELEPHOTOGRAPHY
The first advertisement ever Hash
ed across the continent from Pacific
to Atlantic coast by the newly in
vented telephotographic process, was
received in New York recently when
the complete layout and text for an
advertisement for the California
Pear Growers association was wired
from San Francisco to New York in
seven minutes. The transmission
was made over telephone line from a
photographic negative.
This is just another tribute to the
scientific progress constantly made
by private industry in America, in
the interest of public service. While
the rest of the world is talking about
getting telephones, there is one for
almost every home in thin land and
our own American telephone system
has progressed a step farther and i
actually reproducing photograph
over its telephone wires almost in
stantaneously. Is it any wonder other nations
turn to the United States for help in
developing their telephone systems?
DUKE OF YORK NOT COMING

William Black, 38, a truck driver, was
struck by lightning yesterday in the
oil fields near here, the bolt perform

It broke his watch chain, welded
together two silver dollars In his
pocket, tore off both trouser legs and
shoes and burned his hair. He was
unconscious for two hours, but will
recover, physicians say.
The same bolt set fire to a near
