Dr. E. Van Dyke Wright, president of Hastings college, spent one day this week visiting the normal in the interest of the college. The Hcmingford visitors this week weie Mr. and Mrs. K. L. Pierce, Rev. nnd Mrs. Council, Miss GraceWhceler, Mis. Hunter and H. H. Funk. Prof. A. F. lialdridgc, formerly sup erintendent of the Alliance schools, was present Tuesday morning and seemed much pleased with the interest mani fested by both teachers and pupils. The regular class work was complet ed last week, and the last five days de voted to regular institute work. The instructors gave one period lecture each morning and conducted examina tions in the afternoon. The attendance has steadily increased during the last few weeks, there now being registered 240 students. High School Inspector Crabtree was present Wednesday and read an inter esting paper, " My First School." In this he gave many hints as to the way in which tlit difficulties attendant upon the teaching of one's first school may be surmounted. The paper was valu able, being taken from personal exper ience and not ideas advanced that were purely those of thedry. The county superintendents from eight of the counties included in this district have been present during the week of institute work. They are H. L. Fisher, Dawes county; Walter Kent, Sheridan county; J. W. Baum gardner, Box Butte county; Conrad Parsons, Sioux county; H. R. Dellin ger, Grant county: Mrs. W. E. Heard, Banner county; Miss Alice Wilkinson, Kimball county,, and Miss Agnes Lackey, Scotts Bluffs county. S. M. Smyscr visited the normal last Friday morning and read a paper with the, subject, "The Journey from Then to Now." The paper was a fine one, the main part being brought out that if we take care of the Now, the Then will take care of itself. After reading the paper, Mr. Smyser carried the sub ject btill farther- in an interesting talk giving illustrations from his own life. There was a general feeling of regret at the close that this gentleman had been unable to visit the school before. 'The Wesleyau quartette was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience last Tuesday night at the opera house. The singers are favorites with Alliance people, having made many friends during a former visit. The music was of the best, the perfect harmony exist ing between the voice which when singing together has the effect of a full chord on a perfectly toned instrument. The solos were all given an encore to which they pleasantly responded. In the morning the quartette gave two se lections for the benefit of the teachers in 'the chapel room. We are proud of Nebraska's teachers and of Nebraska's singers. The normal is over. An excellent course of study has been completed, and stronger teachers will return to the schools in the different counties. It has been a success in every way. Teachers find schools waiting for those who have made this effort. New friendships have been formed and old ones more closely bound together. This success is due to several things. First to the untiring energy, manage ment and business ability of Prof. Bartz, the principal. Second, to the zeal, interest and up-to-date teaching of the instructors, Miss Schlee, S. H. Martin, Chas. E. Philpott and P. E. McCoy, and to the earnest, hard work of the students. The teachers, schools and state will be better for this sum mer school. Better for the lessons not learned from books, but from associa tion with each other and with those of wider experience and greater learning. These schools are the means of lifting the profession of teaching up to that broader level wheie it belongs and may northwestern Nebraska be blessed with many more, such as this has been.

The republican party of Box Butte county met in convention last Saturday for the purpose of nominating candidates for the fall election. Some offices seemed more popular among the would-be offic ials than others. For some offices there were several aspirants and for others it was uitiicuit to linu a candidate who was willing to be'snowed under at the polls. On the whole the ticket proposed is not considered strong. As in the last county election, however, there may be surprises this time. The republican candidate for treasurer two years ngo was considered the weakest on the ticket yet he was the only candidate of his party elected over his opponent the standard bearer on the fusion ticket and his success was due more to sentimental than party reason. This yea he is trotted out as the big drum of the g. o. p. band wagon. The unexpected frequently happens in Box Butte county. It there fore behooves the fusion convention to be very careful in the selection of its candi dates. The people of our county vote in county matters to a great extent irrespec tive of party, If we nominate strong men, they are sure to be elected. Captain Watson of Fort Robinson is in the city today, A regiment from the post expects to go to Fort Riley, Kans., the latter part of September for a month's stay and will travel overland to Sidney or Julesburg where they will ship from.

They are Si Miller and Jules Zhinden. If If there was'steen tons of freight to be de livered not a wheel would move till Si saw the elephants and dancing girls and the suspension of work on the new Zbindcn block would not keep Jules away from the side shows.

LOCAL RACES On the Racetrack West of Town Thursday Afternoon, Aug. 20. There aro n number of very promising horses in Alliance, which are being trained for the track and the owners thereof have conceived the idea that by giving matinee exhibitions occasionally sufficient interest may be aroused to lead to the formation of a permanent racing association for the holding of regular races during the racing season of each year. It is not the inten tion to organize an association until after a few races havo been held and 'people" have a clearer view and idea of what a perman ent association of this character means for those loving to see good horse races. Next Thursday afternoon the first of a series of races will be hold. The following trotting horses have been entered for races during the afternoon: Margaret Lee, Agnes B, Shaparone and Lady Clair, all owned by J. R. Phelan; Carrie C, owned by Dr. E. C.
