The program for the sixteenth annual mooting of the North Nebraska Teachers' association , which will moot here April a , 0 and 4 , has boon issued and gives promise of a very iutorestiug session and a largo attendance of teachers of this part of the state. All sessions will bo hold in the Auditorium nnd will begin with Wednesday after noon at 2 o'olock.nnd there will bo morn ing , afternoon and evening meetings up to and including Friday night. Especial attention is directed to the provision made by the program committee for lectures and addresses. On Thursday evening Mrs. Jennie Koysor of Omaha will lecture ou the subject , "Tho Christ Child in Art , " to be supplemented with sterooptioon views. Mrs. Keysor has traveled extensively in Europe and elsewhere and is a close student of art. She is a lady of pleas ant personality and it will well repay all to hoar her. William Hawley Smith Is to leotnro on Friday night. Ho is well known for a man of extensive school ex perience and possessing a fund of wit and humor that make his lectures inter esting as well as instructive. Thursday morning Rov. F. H. Sander- sou , of Fremont , will address the teach ers ou the subject. "Men Wanted. " Friday forenoon State Supt. Fowler will speak on the practical subject , "Bearing Down on the Essentials. " Rev. Goo. E. Tnylor who for n number of years was connected with Doano college , Crete , and who is in close sympathy with ed ucational movements , will speak on the subject , ' 'Tbo Boy. " Those subjects embrace subject matter that is vital and intensely practical and it is hoped that no teacher will fall to hear them. The indication is that the ordinary accommodations of the oity will bo taxed to care for the visitors. Already a dele gation of 14 from Fnllorton has engaged accommodations ; Schnyler will bo rep resented by a largo delegation and the Columbus delegation will consist of be tween 40 and 50 people , while other towns will also send largo delegations. It is therefore desired that all who can care for ono or more teachers vnll at once notify Superintendent D. 0. O'Con nor , giving the number they can care for and the prices they will charge. It will be a big week for Norfolk and the citizens will probably not neglect the opportunity to show their apprecia tion of these visitors wbo have mot here for the post several years.

Building and Contents Damaged by Yesterday's Blaze , from Tluirndnr'n Dnlir i The moat marlcot of Henry Uoboror at the corner of Main nud Third streets , wnB badly scorched by fire late yester day afternoon. The bln-/o caught in the baok room from the tire under jho lard kettle and had gained a considerable hondwayboforo | the department arrived on the scone. It first took effect on the olllco partition nnd the names followed this up to the coiling which was badly charred in places. It also communicated with wrapping paper and other inflam mable material utored in the baok room nud accomplished considerable dnmngo both to stock and building. The lire department responded quickly and .soon hnd sovornl streams of water ready to pour on the flro but ono was was found to bo qulto tmfllciont to settle the real trouble. Another was turned into an upstairn room which probably prevented the llro from burning through the coiling. The hook and ladder com pany was oil hand early nnd had the near vicinity of the building well policed iu short order and were ready to cnrvo a way to the flro on an instant's notice. The door of-tho building was Hooded tea a depth of a couple of inches , and con siderable damage wna done to the con tents of the building by water. It is eatiuiaiod tnat Mr. Hoberor's IOFS by reason of the fire will bo at least ? 200.while the damage to the build ing will probably exceed that sum. The building Is the property of A. O. Taylor of Cedar Rapids , Iowa , an uncle of 0. S. Hayes. Both the building and stock were protected by insurance. A largo crowd of people was attracted by th'o excitement , but they preserved very good order and interfered little with the operations of the firemen. An amusing incident was the struggle of ouo of the nozzlemou who permitted his hose to got ont of coutrol. It writhed around like a gigantic serpent and liberally sprinkled about all the people in the near neighborhood before it was "captured" and placed under control. TIIO crowd , was quite effectu ally scattered by Its action. THURSDAY TIDINGS. Dr. A. Wles was a visitor from Madi son yesterday. Charles Hardiugor of Pierce had busi ness in Norfolk. 0. H.

The Washington correspondent of the Bee says in this morning's issue : "The subcommittee of the house committee on public buildings nnd grounds ore dally laboring over the plans for various public buildings which are to bo provided for in the omnibus publio building bill. Although nothing definite has been de cided in regard td the provisions for Nebraska it seems safe to predict that Norfolk and Hastings will be taken care of , both of these cities having been pro vided by the lust congress with sites upon which to erect federal buildings. Norfolk has asked for $75,000 , and in all probability will got that amount , Con gressman Robinson having been espec ially active to secure this sum. Hast ings has asked for $120,000 , but this will probably be cut to $100,000 which the treasury department believes sufficient to secure a flue structure to.meot the needs of the town.

HOW THE CHINESE GET RAIN Some Pccnllnr Practice * In Voene In. the Cclcitial Kingdom. It is one of the peculiarities of the Chinese that , while they have develop ed elaborate philosophers , none of them has led to any confidence In the uni formity of nature. Neither the people nor their rulers have any fixed opinion as to the cause of rainfall. The plan iu some provinces when the need of rain Is felt Is to borrow n god from a neigh boring district and petition him for the desired result. If his answer is satis factory , he Is ( returned to his homo with every marki of honor ; otherwise he may be put out in the sun as a hint to wake up and do his duty. A. bunch of willow is usually thrust Into his bund , as willow Is sensitive to mois ture. Another plan In extensive use Is the building of special temples In which are wells' containing several iron ta bles. When there Is a scarcity of rain , a messenger starts out with a tablet marked with the date of the Journey and the name of the district making the petition. Arriving at another city , ho pays a sum of money and la allowed to draw another tablet from the well , throwing In his own by way of ex change. On the return Journey he is eupposed to cat only bran and travel at top speed day and night. Sometimes he passes through districts as greatly iu need of rain as his own. Then the people ple In these places waylay him nnd , temporarily borrowing his tablet , get the rain Intended for another place. Prayers nre usually made In the fifth and sixth mouths , when the rainfall is always due. and a limit of ten days Is set for their effective operation. Under eucb conditions rain usually falls dur ing the prescribed time. When the prayers are In progress , the umbrella , among other objects , comes under the ban. In some provinces foreigners have been mobbed for carrying this harm less article nt that time. Ne\v York Commercial Advertiser. AH Paper. Hester The theater Is a world of en chantment.
