Press Comments on Normal School Location Wc believe that the following from the Mitchell Index voices the sentiment of a large majority of people who were personally interested in the locating of the western Nebraska Normal school: "Much to the disappointment of Alli ance, the North Platte Valley and we believe to a majority of the people of western Nebraska interested in tile de velopment of its schools, the Normal board has decided to locate the new State Normal school at Chadron, a town in the extreme northern and western part of the state, and reached by a siuglo road, the North-Western.1' The new State Normal school has been located at Chadron by -the state board We do not think it so good a location as Allianco would have been, but it is probably more accessible than, Peru or Kearney. Goring Courier. In the following sentence the Gor don Journal reflects the sentiment of the northwestern combination that was made against Alliance: "Aside from having the school located at Gordon wc had rather see it at Chadron than any where else in the district." The Rushville Recorder; "The lo cation of the new State Normal at Chadron is hailed as a victory for the North-Western railway." The Chadron Chronicle speaks of the "effect" the northwestern combi nation had in securing the location for that city, as follows: "Chadron busi ness men are very grateful to the peo ple of Crawford and Rushville for their action during the visit of the Normal School board to their cities wheu they themselves were out for the location of the school and told the board that if they were not successful in getting it their second choice was Chadron This undoubtedly had-its effect and is a kindness that, never shall be forgotten and they hope sometime to be able to reciprocate." The following editorial from the Bridgeport News-Blade has a tinge of smensm, but contains about as much truth as could be well couched in the Bame number of words: Chadron has been selected as the site for the pro posed State Normal school- That wijl be very convenient for the people of South Dakota, Wyoming and Mon tana." - In another editorial the same paper makes the following pertinent remarks: "The action of the state board in se lecting Chadron as the site for the pro posed State Normal school is in strict keeping with the history of the' mea sure from the time the trick was turn ed in the legislature. The News-Blade has repeatedly pointed out the perfid ious tactics of the promoters of the measure and still insists the location of the school under the provisions of this act is an insult to the intelligence of the taxpayers of Nebraska. In the interest of the taxpayers of the state and for the protection of prospective students in western Nebraska the es tablishing of the normal school at Chadron should be prevented and the validity of the act tested. The same order of intelligence which permitted the passage of the bill seems to have guided the state board in selecting the site for the school. Alliance High School Still Leads Last Friday, in the roughest and hardest game of basketball ever played in Scottsbluff, Alliance won by the close score of 39 to 31. Alliance had previously defeated this same team by a score of 44 to 14 and it may be that this fact gave the impression to the Al liance players that they would not be required to work for the game. Un questionably the playing of the High School team was not up to its usual standard, a fact which may be ac counted for by a lack of practice. On the other hand Scottsbluff was about 50 per cent, stronger on their own floor- , There was a notable lack of team work on Alliance's part- Every point made was only after the haidest kind of work. Several times Scottsbluff led the race only to be caught and passed by Alliance. Toward the end of the second half the Scottsb'luff sup porters were shouting ip'-dly, for their favotites were taking ne lead in what promised to be a winning spurt. Hut Alliance came back with its fighting spirit and pulled the game from the fire with, the above margin. The fol lowing plaers represented Alliance; Nohe (c), Carlson, Mewhirter, Parker, Betebenner. ( Alliance still holds the championship of' western Nebraska. She has not been defeated in anv game as et. Gothenburg will be here Fiiday, Jan. 28. They have not been defeated and are also claiming the championship of western Nebraska. Experiments with Corn The Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued Bulletin No. tu on Experiments with Corn.

The passenger train caught a stalled freight 'about two miles' this side of Angora and both trains remained there nil night.

Judge Westover went over to Alli ance Saturday to pass sentence on a couple of men, who were in the county jail, and, rather than stay in Alliance, plead guilty to the charge on . which they were being held.

The "in surging" ot such grand old insurgents as John C. Fremont McKesson, Paul Clark, and others of like prominence in the ranks of the old-time "pass bri gade" of the g.o.p., is a spectacle for gods and men. Just now this insur gent band is framing it up to defeat Senator Burkett, and to date they have succeeded in emphasizing the fact that the -senator is one of the prime fence riders of the day. A careful analysis of the senator's votes during the past two years shows that he has been 504 per cent. Aldrich-Cnnnon, and 49J3 with the opposition to that regime. If that isn't drawing it pretty fine there is no such thing. The Lincoln Star, which is "insurging" at a great rate,, charges that Senator Bmkett had his private secretary and his chief clerk paint his barn for him last summer, and that in so doing he managed to save something like $7.50 in wages that otherwise he might have had to pay to professional painters. The trade unionists of the state are getting ready to lift the senatorial scalp be cause Burkett, in spite of their unani mous protest, favored Hammond for collector of internal revenue. Ham mond, by the Way, has always posed as a progressive, but just now he is not lending any great encouragement to the uprising against the gentlemen who assisted in handing him the collector ship plum. The more one studies the work of the last legislature the better it looks. It enacted the physical valuation law, a law taking away from the state board the arbitrary power of assessing prop erty, the reciprocal dcinuriage law, the law limiting the issuance of stock by railroad companies, the anti-discrimination law, the charter laws for both Omahas, the amendments to the elec tion laws, the military code, the Ore gon plan of electing senators, the law regulating campaign contributions, the law prohibiting employers from at tempting to control the votes of em ployes through intimidation, the law regulating the granting of divorces, the drainage laws, the corporation tax law, and many other important and, needed laws. The liquor legislation enacted by the democratic legislature marked .a, long step forward. It was the first forward move in twenty years- Re publican legislature after republican legislature met without amending the liquor laws, and all the while its man agers posed as the special champions of morality and temperance, and de clared that their party was the party of "God and morality." The charge of democratic extrava gance in the management of the state institutions has been met and dissipat ed by the real tacts. The reports, made under oath, show that the insti tutions are now being conducted better, and at a lower cost per capita than at any time during the last ten years This is remarkable in view of the greatly increased cost of food products, clothing and fuel. The present state administration welcomes nothing quite so much as it does a comparison of its record to date with any similar period of time under republican administration, Reno Notes (Too late for last week; . The Reno school opened again Mon day after a two week's vacation. H- H. Hier sold bis five shares in the Syndicate Block property to F. VV. Harris, consideration being Si, 000. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Berry of Reno spent a part of the holidays at Broken Bow at a family reunion. They re port having a fine time. Hans Larson received a car of corn last week- J. C- Berry's car of coal came also. Mr. Berry is looking for a car of grain most any time- The snow is still so deep in this sec tion of the country that a number of the ranchmen are using four horses to haul out hay to feed their cattle. Mrs. Fanny Switzer's school has closed for the winter, but will open again in the spring with three mouth's more of school. Her school is in the Reed district- ' Cattle are looking pretty good in the sand hills considering that there has been a foot or more of snow ou the ground ever since Thanksgiving. There is goiug to be a scarcity of hay if it stays on much longer and probably some loss of cattle, Mrs. Jos. Bills passed through here recently on her way to her old home near Galva, 111. She had received word of the serious illness of her broth er, who has been in poor health for tome time. Miss M. Ruth Taylor TEACHER OF PIANO 324 West Idaho. Phone 205 Edith M.
