TO THE TRAD H.
We desire to call your attention once more to the Tact that we
control the only Coal that has ever yet successfully competed with
Rock Springs and any other Wyoming or Colorado Coals. We find
that there are other Coals being sold throughout the State of Ne
braska under the nnme of NEW KENTUCKY LUMP , which ara
not from the New Kentucky Mines , but are a VASTLY IN FERIOR
GRADE OF COAL , not only In QUALITY but In PREPARATION ,
which arc represented as being "THE SAME THING" or "J UST AS
GOOD AS NEW KENTUCKY"and we caution the trade that the
surest way to get the GENUINE article , thereby getting what
you want , and thereby getting your money's worth , and thereby
getting the Coal -which will increase your business and your profits ,
that the safest plan Is to order direct from us. Send your orders
either to General Office , 21B Dearborn Street , Chicago , orthe West
ern Office , Room BOO , First National Bank Building , Omaha , Ne
braska , and be satisfied that you are then getting just what you pay
for. While the qualities of this Coal are well and favorably known
to many , there are yet a largo number of dealers who have not had
the Coal and it is to these to whom we particularly desire to address
ourselves and whose attention we desire to call to the peculiarly
favorable qualities ofour New Kentucky Lump , its lasting qualities ,
Its PURITY In every sense of the word , its freedom from smoke and
soot and also Its free burning qualities , if you have never tried this
Coal , TRY IT NOW before making contracts for your season's sup
ply of Soft Coal. We do not ask you to stock up your sheds and
bins to their fullest capacity and force you to carry it until the trade
opens up , but we stand able and willing to give you astea dy supply
on regular orders for shipment. This coal is known to be the equal
of the best OHIO and WEST VIRGINIA COALS and at a price from
78c to $2.0O per ton loss , We can make delivered prices to any and
all points In Iowa , Nebraska , Kansas , Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Write to us for delivered prices without delay.
TO THE STEAM TRADE.
We desire to say that \ve furnish Armour's packing house
at Chicago 100,000 tons per year ; to the paper mills of Wis
consin , 100,000 tons per year. These two items alone should
convince you of the strength of our coal as a steam raiser.
TO THE CONSUMER :
We desire to say just one , thing : Ask your dealer for it
and insist upon getting the genuine article. '

THE FACULTIES FOR NEXT YEAR.
Some of the ClmngoH to lie ? la < lo In
the I'ulillc Schools nml tlio
New High School
Pupils ,
Ono week'from tomorrow the public schools
of this \ilty will reopen after the summer
vacation. The attendance of children , it is
expected , will bo much larger than It was at
the close of the season , and more room must
bo provided to accommodate it.
With this end in view two-room buildings
are being erected on the Saratoga , Hickory
nnd Central Park sites , each of which will
accommodate nbout ono hundred pupils. The
icut Ing capacity of the high school has been
increased by placing the seats closer , while
the erection of nn eight-room ono-story brick
building nt the rear of the present structure
will nITord accommodation for the oveillow
from the Central school , . o
Superintendent Jnmcs predicts that the
attendance at the high school this year will
bo much lurger than before , probably bylXKl
or 700. This will severely tax the seating
capacity of the building.
It Is estimated that the number of pupils
who will ho enrolled at the beginning of the
term will be In the neighborhood of ten
thousand flvo hundred , an increase of 1,000
overthd average nttcmUncu for last year.
The llrnt part of November generally witness
es the largest attendance and it is estimated
that the total at that time will reach 11,000.
The total enrollment lastyoar was lit,27'.l , nnd
the superintendent call mates that the total
enrollment for the coming year will roach
over 11,000.
The assignment of teachers to the several
buildings will bo made by the bonnl the com
ing week. It is stated that them will bo few
chungcs , as it is the policy of the board and
superintendent to assign n toucher to the
building she prefers when , it U expedient so
to do.
of the teachers who hnvo been ab
sent from the city during the sumiiicr months
will return during tlio coming week , having
enjoyed nn extra week of vacation on account
of the postponement of the oucnlng of the
bchooLs. A large number of these have spent
the time at their homes la neighboring states ,
nud other.nt summer resorts , but nil it Is
thought will return greatly invigorated for
ttio exacting labors of the term.

IN MI5SI011V OF Oil HISTIAN PETER
One of the ChrlHtlim Astronomers of
HlB 'lime ,
ll'i Ittcn for The nee.
Germ my sends to this country not
honest und industrious farmers and laborer-
but also seine of the host educated of
men. Iloobllng , the architect and builder of
the Brooklyn bridge , was n German , and so
was the late astronomer , Dr. Christian
Peters , who died recently. Germany is a
great country in regard to the education of
her people , and she has still u surplus of
great scientific men with whom to provide
other countries.
Look for example to astronomy , It is lor
the gronta s < part a German science. Ifopplor ,
Copernicus , Gauss , Hesslor were Germans ,
and also Kriler In St. Petersburg , Herschel
In England and IVtori in the United States
were Germans bv birth and received their
education in Germany.
Those thoughts arobo in my mind upon the
death of the great Peters , who will always bo
a scientific glory not only to Germany , his
unlive land , but to the United States , his
adopted fatherland , us well , which gave him
a homo , the land where ho accomplished the
greatest part of his life work.
It Is but a dutv In honoring the memory of
that great man If wo brinp tils Hfo and worlfc'
to the consideration of this busy ago. > ,
The astronomer. Dr. Christian Peters , was
born in 181 , ' ) in Coldcnbuthcl , In Schleswlg ,
and was the son of u clergymen. Later , bis
family moved to Plonsburg. where Christian
attended the Latin school. An old gontletnan |
one of his schoolmates at that time , told mo
with great pleasure that Christian nlrcudy at
thnttlmo hud given signs of his future great
ness. ' '
Christian studied mathematics nnd astron
omy ut the universities of Berlin , Copen
hagen and Gottingcn. Ho was famous before
ho came to .America , through the publication
of his work onEtna , the volcano In i
Sicily. Ho traveled In Italy nnd Turfr-s
nnd I'n 1W3 crossed the ocean to inukU nil
homo In the states.
Ho became director of the observatory in .
Cambridge , then of tlio Dudley observatory
in Albunv. nnd later of the observatory la
Clinton , N , tf. Ho was also professor of as
tronomy In Hamilton college in Clinton.
Wlille In Clinton he discovered about fifty
small planets. Not only by these discoveries
but also by Ills maps of the heavens and "
his nstronoinlc.il writings did ho become
mous throughout tlio whole world. Ho wi
the leader of sovejnl astronomical expedi
tions but the moil Important was that of 1874
to Now Zealand to obscrvo the passage of
Venus aeioss the HUH , and ho was successful
in obtaining 2J7 photographs of that famous
transit.
The most Important astronomical societies
of the world inado him an honorary member ,
and even thn French presented him with the
cTOis , of the Legion of Honor.
