Once More on Compulsory Education
Already the lust iaauo of this paper
brought two sections or parta of two
sections of the Nebraska compulsory
education law To make dure that this
Inws far roaching extent will bo remem
bered by ull and that there may be no
misunderstanding whatsoever wo let
them follow again besides mnking a
little addition to Sec 1 and n little cor
rection to Sec 2
Subdivision 1G Section 1 In city
inspiring reports from their respective J school districts every person residing
unions
At 1000
within such districts who has legal cou
trol of any child not less than 7 nor more
than 1G years of ago shall eau6o such
child to attend the public day school for
the full period eaah school year in
which the public day school ia in ses
sion
Omitting a line or two this section
continues and this is the addition
The portion of this act requiring at
tendance in the public day school bhall
not apply in any case where a child or
youth is for a time equal to that re
quired by this act instructed in some
private or parochial school or in any
case where the child is instructed at
home or elsewhere by a person qualified
to give instruction in the studies re
quired to be taught in tho public
schools
Subdivision 1G Section 2 as correct
ed Boards of education in cities and
metropolitan citie3 shall appoint one or
more truant oliicfra who shall qualify as
police oflicers shall enforce the provs
ions of this law in the wards or districts
for which they severally act shall have
authority to apprehend and take to his
home or to some public private or paro
chial school any child found in violation
of this act
McCook having had only public insti
tutions until the present it may not be
readily seen just why this addition and
this correction is made But within the
near future in fact beginning next
week Monday Sept 28 already the
city will also have a parochial school
and considsring the course of study a
first class school it will be At lea t
the German Evangelical Lutheran mis
sionary who will be in personal charge
having grown up in the midst of first
class eastern schools of this kind shall
endeavor to make also the local school
such The English branches will be the
same a 3 those taught in the public
schools everything graded of course
The course of study will be that set
down by the Chicago 111 Conference
of Teachers being the best one in its
class enabling a child to attend the
high school within the same or the
childs ability and diligence permitting
even in a smaller number of years than
the child instructed at the hand of an
other course of study
Beides this from one to three hours
par day will be devoted to German i e
the genuine high German Here too
above named course of study has the ad
vantage over any other enabling a child
not only to understand and to make
itself understood but also to read and
write German correctly in a compara
tively short time Of this opportunity
for their children especially the parents
of German nativity should avail them
selves and do away with that fault of
conversing in the German language
among themselves but of being obliged
to use the English language only in
speaking to their German children Do
not forget the English language may be
the Business Language but knowl
edge of the German is being demanded
more and more by The Boss from his
clerks stenographers book keepers and
reporters
Knowledge of the German Langu
age is and Always will Remain a Part
or a General Education
Seeing and knowing this thp New
York Philadelphia Boston Pittsburg
etc millionaires send their sons and
daughters all the way to Germany and
pay several thousand dollars annually
that they may at least to some extent be
come acquainted with this language
They do not think that one should be
ashamed of tho ability to speak German
And thay are English while you are Ger
man Why then would you tarry to
have your children study German for
the mere price of the necessary text
books
Last but by no means least the chil
dren attending this German Evangelical
Lutheran parochial school will receive
thorough German or thorough English
or thorough instruction in both of these
languages in their Evangelical Lutheran
Catechism and in Evangelical Lutheran
Bible History that is in the bibles
OWN INTERPRETATION OF ITSELF These
religious instructions are the great ad
vantage of the parochial school For
the chid not only gat hers secular knowl
edge knowledge in the elementary
branches but also becomes well acquain
ted with his God his Creator with His
Law and with His Gospel of eternal sal
vation as propounded in Holy Writ It
is especially this last branch of study in
our new parochial school which cannot
be prized too highly To provo this here
to show here what instruction in this
branch means space will not permit
But the German Evangelical Lutheran
missionary declares himself willing to
pay you a visit upon request and to
show to your satisfaction that this is not
saying too much This with special ref
erence to the German Evangelical Luth
eran population of McCook
As stated this parochial school will
bo opened next Monday September 2S
Already however the enrollment in the
beginning will and must be limited
For in the absence of any other locality
one of the rooms in the cottage rented by
RevWilliam Brueggemann at 607 5th st
oast will have to serve a- school room
This room is largo enough for from 12 lo
15 children only and 10 cbildreu aro al
ready on the list This incouveniency
will have to be put up with only tempo
rarily however feince an Evangolical
Lutherau church or school will bo built
within tho limits of McCook before the
Christmas holidays In the meantime
it i
and use to other readers suggest it to
the library board through its secretary
giving such information as you can as
to the publishers price and special fea
tures that would recommend it for
library use It will receive considera
tion when the list is made up and if not
included it will be for some reason
which the board deem sufficient
It is the supreme desire of the library
board as individuals and as a body
that the library be made a3 practically
useful to the reading public as possible
They do not want to have it for a literary
center for the literary clubs but to have
it reach out in all directions with real
helpfulness for the toiler in any field of
life Look up what there is here for
you and if you do not find the volume
you need suggest that it be placed on
the next book order It is only by such
means the library can be made to serve
its highest purpose

ENGLISH TITLES
Why Inferior Honors Are Sometimes
Refused by Commoners
Although it costs money to be made
a peer no sum can actually buy a
British title as may be done iu some
European countries Honors of this
description are in the giving of the
king or rather his majesty bestows
them on persons at the recommenda
tion of the prime minister who really
has the final say in the matter Titles
are conferred either directly or indi
rectlydirectly when no third per
son recommends a candidate for royal
recognition and indirectly when a
third person brings a candidates name
forward he having good and valid
grounds for doing so The former
method however is the one which is
usually adopted It is the duty of the
prime minister to distinguish a name
celebrated in politics science art or
literature and to decide whether the
merits of any given prominent person
deserve recognition at the hands of
the king
If in the opinion of the prime min
ister such a given person deserves ele
vation to titled rank before the minis
ter takes any steps In the matter the
favored individual is apprised of the
prime ministers intentions by a per
sonal letter in which is conveyed the
degree or title it is proposed to confer
on him subject to his approval In
four out of five cases the approval is
given The fifth person who may
have been offered a knighthood oi
perenance a baronetcy refuses be
cause ins rerusal may increase his
chances of obtaining at a later day
a higher title still a peerage Armed
with the persons approval the prime
minister now takes the next step that
is obtaining his majestys sanction
which is rarely refused
It is seldom that a plain Mr blos
soms straightforward into a lord un
less the circumstances are very un
usual such as the reason why a peer
age was conferred on Mr Morley or
honors conferred on successful gen
erals m the field as in the case of
Wolseley Roberts and Kitchener As
a general rule a plain Mr is trans
formed into Sir that is knight or
baronet and one who is already a
Sir and has done some signal recog
nition finds his reward in his ultimate
service to the state entitling him to
royal elevation to the peerage Chi

AM EPISODE OF WAR
Tho Only Coward Evans Ever Saw In
tho Navel Service
After Admiral Evans had been so
grievously wounded In the attack on
Fort Fisher during the civil war ho
was picked up by a marine named
Wasmouth and carried Into compara
tive shelter Wasmouth was killed n
minutes later Evans own ac
count continues After Wasmouth
was killed I soon fell asleep and wheu
I awoke it was some time before J
could recall my surroundings The
tide had come in and the hole in
which I was lying was nearly full of
water which had about covered me
and was trickling into my ears I
could see a monitor Gring and appar
ently very near and the thought came
to me that I could swim off to her if I
only had a bit of plank or driftwood
but this I could not get It was plain
enough that 1 should soon be drowned
like a rat in a hole unless I managed
to get out somehow Dead and wound
ed men were lying about in ghastly
piles but no one to lend me a helping
hand By this time 1 could not use
my legs in any way and when I dug
my hands into the sides of my prison
and tried to pull myself out the sand
gave way and left me still lying in f
water Finally I made a strong elfoi
and rolled myself sideways out of tr
hole
When I got out I saw a marine
short distance away nicelv covered 1
a pile of sand and firing away deliber
ately at the fort I called to him u
pull me in behind his Inr of sand lvu
he declined on the ground trt he fire
was loo sharp for hii to evop him
self I persuaded him with my re
volver to change his mind a d ii two
seconds he had my in a place of safe
ty that is to say ssfo by a sm iH mar
gin for when he fred tlv Confederate
bullets would snip he panel within a
few inches of our heads If he ma
rine had known that my revolver was
soaking wet and could not possibly bo
fired I suppose I would have been
buried the next morning as many oth
er poor fellows were As sooif as I
could roach some cartridges from n
dead sailor lying near me I loaded my
revolver thinking it might be useful
before the job was finished
When I was jerked in behind this
pile of sand I landed across the body
of the only coward I ever saw in the
naval service At first I was not con
scious that there wls a man under me
so completely had he worked himself
into the sand lie was actually below
the surface of the ground The moni
tors were firing over us and as a shell
came roaring by he pulled his knees up
to his chin which hurt mo as it jostled
ray broken legs I said Hello Are
you wounded V Xo sir he replied I
am afraid to move All right then
I said keep uiiet and dont hurt my
legs again The next shell that came
over he did the same thing and the
next notwithstanding my repeated cau
tions So I tapped him between tho
eyes with the butt of my revolver and
he was quiet after that
The Glove on the Pole
A quaint custom in an English tovrn
Honiton is proclaiming the fair The
town obtained the grant of a fair frem
the lorel of the manor so long ago as
1257 and the fair still retains some of
the picturesque characteristics of by
gone days The town crier dressed in
picturesque uniform and carrying a
pole decorated with gay flowers and
surmounted by a largo gilt model of a
gloved hand publicly announces the
opening of the fair as follows Oyez
Oyez Oyez The fairs begun the
glove is up No man can be arrested
till the glove is taken down not
coins are then thrown among the chil
dren The pole and glove remains dis
played until the end of the fair

Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You 111 Languid and
Depressed
Weak kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of life
giving albumen from the blood into
the urine and the substitution of pois
onous uric acid that goes broadcast
through tho system sowing the seeds
of disease Loss of albumen causes
weakness languor depression Uric
poisoning causes rheumatic pains ner
vousness nausea cricks in the back
gravel and kidney stones Tho proper
treatment is a kidney treatment and
the best remedy is Doans Kidney Pills
William Parkes living in Red Cloud
Nebr says For about three years
my kidneys were in a disordered condi
tion and I was obliged to gut up three
or four times at night to avoid the se
cretions I was also subject to dizzy
spells I have now used Doans Kid
ney Pills for some time and have the
greatest relief therefrom My kidneys
give me no further troubles and the
dizzy spells are a thing of tho past
