THE loss to State Treasurer Willard ,
by the late "Deck" Tomblin failures at
Akron , Colo. , and Cambridge , this
state , is placed as high as $22,500 by
some ; by others , probably better ad
vised , as much lower possibly not
more than $5,000. In either event , it
is pretty dear influence. But we must
have ife though it does come high.

A DIVERSITY of opinion exists among
Lincoln people and papers as to the
greatness of the advantages loci to be
derived from tho location of the 31. E. '
"University in that city. Some think it
will injure the State's institution of
learning , others opine that the munic-
ipalit } ' paid too dearly for its whistle ,
as it were , denominational prejudice
agitates other souls not too Catholic in
their theology , while a few , like the
much abused mugwump , kick because
it is fulfilling the highest requirements
ef their nature. Meanwhile the wheels
of progress .are not stayed , and the
Methodist people , unless they belie
their record , will in due time make of

Quite a commotion ensued in the high
school department , Thursday morning. The
stove pipe in the recitation room fell down ,
and prevented the room being used that
morning. It was , however , adjusted by
noon , and the school quietly resumed its
work without further interruption.
There is quite a rivalry existing between
the eighth and ninth gnules. The eighth

j
day before the ninth , they , ( i. e. the 9th , ) are
fearful lost the former will "beat 'em. " And
consequently , both grades study very dili
gently. Tho prospects now are , that they
will both complete the study of Elementary
Algebra before the close of the year.

A teacher recently asked her class , "How
many are several times several ? " They took
tho question home with them. When it was
put to them again , the next day , one little
girl looked intelligent and answered confi
dently , "more than four. " The surprised
teacher scented a course of logic behind this
reply , and asked the child why she thought
sn. She was rewarded with , "It says in the
dictionary that several is more than two ,
and several times several mint Ire more than
four. "

Miss Berry then related many interesting
reminiscences oE his life ; one of which was ,
that Logan inaugurated Decoration Day.
The "New York School Journal" speaks in
the following manner of our departed hero
John A. Logan : "The death of John A.
Logan was so sudden that thecountry was
greatly startled. Without doubt he had a
stronger hold upon the affections of the vol
unteer soldiers , thau any other living man.
It is saying a great deal in his favor , when
we are abe ! to record the fact that in this
day of greed aud money getting , he never
used official station for private gain. Still
he made' some bitter enemies , for he was ar
dent aud impulsive , and at times unjust in
his criticisms aud censures : but no one
among his enemies ever accused him of be-
ins a mercenary man. An honest and able
public inau in this money getting world , is
the noblest work of God. "
Principal Webster having recently request
ed the teachers in the district schools to send
him data concerning the country schools.
Mr. W. C. Frampton , who is teaching in the

The present term began December 13th ,
with an enrollment of 31 ; average daily at

If you are in any way interes > ted in the
subject , experience of Mr. A. C. McGrew , a
merchant at Manhattan , Iowa , may be of
value to you. Head what he says :
"About a year ago I was very sick with a
severe attack of lung trouble , i tried ii great
many physicians , and they all told me I had
quick consumption , and I was entirely given
up , so weak I could hardly walk. I travel
ed all through Nebraska and Colorado to
try and get relief , but without effect. Often
times after a severe spell of coughing my
friends would cover me up , expecting every
moment I would breathe my last. I was then
brought back home , and as a last resoit ,
"like a drowning man catching at a straw , "
I began using Chamberlain's Cough JJcmcdy
and tho result is , I am strong , healthy and
well , attending to my business. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy I shall recommend as
long as I live , for to that I owe everything. "
