Remarkable Snow Record for March.
The memory of the oldest inhabitant -
habitant does not recall a winter
of more. . warm , spring-like days
than were experienced in this locality -
cality to the first of Marchj but
from the first of March to the
19th inst. the weath.er has been
quite different. While at no
time have we had what could
be called cold , severe weather ,
the fall of snow was unusual and
so many days of continuous
cloudy weather is seldom seen in
this locality. From the 10th to
the 19th at no time was the
theremometer above free7.ing
point , most of the time about 10
degrees above zero. The snow
fall was not so great in number
of inches but its frequency and
none of it melting entirely away
was the remarkable feature.
The following is the record of
snow precipitation as rccorded
by H. 140 Ormsby.

Central Nebrnlka Summer School.
'rhe fiftcenth annual session of
the Central N bra ka Summer !
School will be held in Brolcn
Bow from J4nc 4 to Jul } ' 27 , 11)06.
'rhe session witI be seven weeks ,
one more week than formerlY ,
but the tuition will be lhe same
as formerly , $5.0Q for the term
or $1.00 a .week.
'l'he sarcitv of teachers in
Custer County -has resulted in increased -
creased wages for proficient
teachers , there being a number
of schools that prefer to pay good
wages for good teachers than to
have poor tcachers at anoY price.
The iastructors , ex-supt. , J. G.
W. Lewis and Prof. Jesse R.
1'eagarden are able and
Imow the nee s of the school
teachers and will be able to help
them as but few others could.
'l'hcy are planning to male this
enc of the best summer schools
for teachers ever held in the
c unty. Three high-class entertainments -
tainments will be given during
the term. Prof. Adrian Newens ,
who was here last year has al.
ready been engaged.
As the new ruling of the state
superintendent requires that all
teachers whose c rcit cates expire
this year as well as all new ap
plicants be required to take ex-
atl11nations in the five essential
branches vi-Reading : , Arith-
matic , grammar , bistory and
geography , which exempts them
from passing in all other
branches.
No bettcr place to equip ones-
self for examination in these
branches than the summer
school. Everyone who desires
to teach should arrange to attend
this school the entire session.
Any information wanted will
be cheerfully givcn by writing to
either Messrs Lewis ur 'l'ea-
garden at Broken Bow.

John Hastings , who for several
years has been in the imploy of
Tom Finlen's livery barn at this
place has traded his residence
property ib this city for a feed
and livery' barn , including four
teams and rigs at Eddyv.ille. H'

The Tabernacle.
'l'he tabernacle for the Union
meetings that wascomt11enced last
Thursday was completed and
ready for use Sunday morl11ng.
The building is 80 by 112 feet
and it is estimated will seat
t ,200 people. 'l'he walls of the
post oflice buil ingon the north
and the Custer National Bank
Building on the south were util-
izcd in building the side walls ,
which saved considerable lumbar
as well as lahor. Fifteen thousand - .
and feet of lumber was used ' .in.
its construction. The building
is lined with paper and heated
by four stoves. It is very com'
fortable and is proving a drawing
card. It was estimated the attendance -
tendance Sundav night was between -
tween seven ali eight hU'hdred. '
'rhe crowds have been increasing
with each session. The Sunday
afternoon meeting , which was
for men only , brought out the
largest crowd of men ever gather-
d il ! this c ty for a religious
service. It 1S eshmated the al-
tendance was over six hundred. .

At. the last regular meeting of
the M. B. A. lodge of this city

taste in Gillings' bake oven.
The chicken was supplemented
by coffee , cake and fruit. The
committee in charge were : Dr.
W. II. ( 'ole , C. A. Chapin and
W. A. Baker. The supper was
a grand success and a splcddid
time was enjoyed. Prior to the
supper three candidatls werc in.
itiated into the order , maldng' a
total membership of 20h. ' 1'wo
ethers are to be initiated tomorrow -
