B Be&trand and Curtis came in for H tbeir share of devastation by the de- H Touring clement fire. K ' H | Mant Dakota farmers last yaarrais- H | e j flax for fuel , a ton of flax being con- H | tidered more valuable for heating pur- B poses than a ton of soft coal. H Governor Thayer very promptly H and properly vetoed the libel bill , re- Hj considered and passed , just previous to B adjournment of the legislature. Bj Tun supreme court has sustained the B action of the commissioners of Fron- B tier county , and Stockville is jubilant B in possession of the county-seat. B Tub gambling bill goes into effect on By the 4th of July , amid the booming of B Artillery , the Gzz of the fire cracker and B the ascension of sky-rockets and fire B 'baloons. B Tun "boom edition" issued , last B week , by the York Democrat , was truly B a magnificent effort , wethink the Gnest B | paper ever issued by the country press Uf of Nebraska. B It is said , as proved by experiment , B 'that three steady driukers as long as they B have money will fully support a tftfrjoti. B The profits in the traffic are casiiy seen B | | when there are scores of "regulars , " in- B { stead of threes. B THE water system of Lincoln is just B bow causing the city authorities no B small solicitude. The well supply ap- B pears to be entirely inadequate. The B advisability of tapping either the Blue B Mr Platte is suggested as one of tiio B permanent , though expensive solutions B of the perplexing subject. K For the enlightenment of "scissors E find paste man" of the Omaha Bee , B > The Tribune takes the pleasurable.

Our mileage I * of mains is one of the largest in the PB state twelve miles. B | It is announced that under the new If rates to Chicago , scheduled to comply IJ with the intar-state law , the corn and B [ small gram rates from the interior of Kj Nebraska will be materially reduced. B | This is contrary to the popular expecta nt tion , but is in accordance with The 111 Journal's previsions of the effect of the f taw properly interpreted. Journal. B Judge Nourse of Des Moines , once B the proud leader of the prohibitionists B ef lorn , is under a cloud. It is charg- B ed and proven that while he was a tem- B perance Samson in public he was the B secret attorney of the big distillery at B Des Moines , and had engaged to deliver B it out of the hands of the supreme coart B by his prohibition influence. Bj Tub B. & M. depot at Arapahoe was B destroyed by fire , last week , entailing a B heavy loss on the company and to John B Gordon , the agent , who loses $1,000 B oyer and above insurance , an unfortun- B ate fact that Mr. Gordon's mauy friends B will learn with deep regret. The loss B must needs fall heavily upon him. B Among the articles of value lost by the B agent are a superb piano , three gold B watches , a diamond ring , etc. B The Hon. J. P. Lindsay , of Beaver B CityFurnas countyis one of the bright- B est Senators of the 20th session. He B was born in OL' i 1856. He attended B Monmouth College , Illinois , and subse- , quently graduated from the Chicago ! M t University. Although only admitted to ; ' -practice in 1881 his legal abilities are B | of a high order and he has been county B attorney at his home for three years.

Arbor day was ohscrvt'd April 2d in Ken tucky. _ ; Misses Nellie Lee and Bertha Davis have been elected editor and assistant , respec- tivelj Springfield , 111. , has been selected as the placo for holding the National Teachers' Convention , this year. Amherst College's memorial of Mr.Beech- er will be a $50,00C endowment of tho pro fessorship of physical culture. ' The Kent Laboratory at Yalo will , it is said , when completed , be the finest building of the kind in tho country , and will cost § 80,000. When a Dakota minister gives out a notice of some church meeting , he adds to tho tra ditional formula , "God willing , " tho words "and a blizzard not preventing. " Egypt has a college that was 900 years old when Oxford was founded , and in which 10 , - 000 students are now being educated , who will some day go forth to spread the Mos lem faith. Jlessrs. Ilelm , Cochran , Colfer and Davis have been invited to address our school on Arbor Day. The exercises for that day will consist of short addresses by the above named gentlemen , music , recitations , and tree planting. The Red Willow County Teachers' Asso ciation will convene at McCook , the second Friday in May. There " will be sessions Fri day afternoon and evening and Saturday morning. Our teachers will take part as follows : The True End of Discipline. . W. S. Webster. Moral Training Miss Berry. Select Heading Miss McNamara. Essay Miss Murphy. Japan is coining to tho front in education al matters. The English language is taught in all the schools in the empire. Not long ago , Count Yongil , son of the Premier , was in Chicago , arranging with publishers for text-books. Although for centuries , Japan has taken a back seat in the advancement of civilization , she now boldly declares her in tention of keeping up with "the progress of tho times. " It is indeed encouraging , to au thors and publishers , that not only Japan , but various other countries are introducing thoir books lor study. In Brazil , the gov ernment in its examinations , requires that the applicant be familiar with the English edition of ArcadiaLongfellow ( ) . A success ful examination before this government en titles the student to the right to pursue in its school and to practice throughout the Em pire , any of the professions. The Lincoln Monthly. The new university at Palo Alto , Cal. , founded by the Millionaire Leland Stanford , is to give a practical as well as a classical education. Senator Stanford thus states his purposes : " 1 intend thai the Stanford Uni versity shall not only give one a classical ed ucational , but that under its roof one may learn telegraphy , type-setting , type-writing , journalism , book-keeping , farming , civil en gineering , etc For a number of years prior to its inception , young men , graduates of Harvard , Yale , and other eastern colleges , used to call upon me , bearing letters of in troduction , and asking mo to find employ ment for them. I would learn on examina tion , that while their knowledge of Greek and Latin , logic and metaphysics , might be thorough , thej' were actually helpless so far as practical knowledge went. They were willing to learn , it is true , but the world is full of unskilled labor , and so I was forced to put them on the railroad as conductors , brakemen and firemen , in order that they might become self-supporting. I then con ceived the idea of a university from which young men could graduate fully equipped for the battle of life in whatever direction the taste might run. " Mark Twain contributes to the April Cen tury , under the title of ' • English as She is Taught , " some examples of the curious an swers made by pupils in our public schools. We quote a few as follows : Aborigines a system of mountains. Alias a good man in the Bible. Amenable anything that is mean. Assiduity state of being an acid. Auriferous pertaining to an orifice. Ammonia the food of the gods. Capillary a little caterpillar. Corniferous rocks in which fossil corn is found. Emolument a headstone to a grave. Equestrian one who asks questions. Eucharist one who plays euchre. Franchise things belonging to the French. Idolator a very idle person. Ipecac a man who likes a good dinner. Irrigate to make fun of. Mendacious what can be mended. Mercenary one who feels for. Parasite a kind of umbrella. Parasite the murder of an infant Publican a man who does his prayers in public. i Tenacious ten acres of land. Here is one where the phrase "publicans and sinners" has got mixed up in the child's mind with politics , and the result is a defini tion which takes one in a sudden and unex ' pected way : "Republican a sinner mentioned in the ' Bible. " Also in democratic newspapers now and then. Here are two where the mistake has resulted from sound assisted by remote fact : "Plagiarist a writer of plays. " "Demagogue a vessel containing beer and other liquors. " Here is one well , now , how often we do - ' slam right into the truth without ever sus pecting it : "The men employed by the gas company go around andspeculato the meter. " The time allotted to us as editors of this . column has now expired , and we prepare to retire to the shades of private life. We have found the editorial chair so much more com fortable than we had anticipated , that wo tre almost loath to resigu it No midnight . 'isions have disturbed our slumbers , as was. I : he case with some of our predecessors ; no ] memies have been madesofarasknownand , vhcn last heard from , all our friends re- iponded to the roll-call ; so with a light heart ind a conscience void of offence toward all nen , we pass over the chair and scissors to a > ur successors , with full confidence in their ibility to gracefully occupy the one , and dis- g : retely manipulate the other. * * * f * f .
