AN
IMPORTANT DEPARTMENT
Next Monday. September 2. the
Lutheran (lerinan Knglish parochial
school will again take up in th new
building erected by Immanuel's Luth
eran congregation on Yellowstone
.venue and Seventh street. Thla
school, which was started a year
B o. has during the past school year
been progressing fairly well tn spite
of many Inconveniences and difficult
ies It had to encounter, and Hosed
Id the spring with an enrollment of
13 pupils. Moat of these Inconvenl
encea have now been overcome, the
school la now to be housed in a
fine new building practically arrang
ed for school purposes, and with re
newed courage and the beat pros
pects for the future It will again be
started out.
This school, called Immaiiuel's
Lutheran Parochial School, Is In the
first place a Religious school in
which the pupils attending are dally
Instructed in the true principles of
Christian religion according to the
Bible, ami the Catechism taken from
the Hible. In the second place It
Is a Oernian school, the pupils being
Instructed in the German language,
and being taught correctly to read,
write and speak this language. In
the third place it is also an Knglish
school, giving Its pupils a full seven
grade Instruction in Knglish rending,
writing and language, as well as In
the natural sciences: arithmetic, ge
ography, physiology, drawing, etc.,
and some Instruction in singing.
The medium of teaching is German
In the forenoon and Knglish in the
afternoon. A competent and effi
cient teacher has again been placed
In charge of the school, namely, Mr.
A. 1 Lang, a younger brother of
the pastor. Rev. Titus Lang.
This parochial school is not, as
some people suppose, conducted in
opposition to our public schools.
Lutherans know very well that In
a free country like ours, founded on
the principle of complete separation
between church and state, the pub
lic school is an absolute necessity.
They honor and respect the public
school system of our country, wish
and hope that it may grow and pros
per in Its sphere, and without seek
Ing any national or state npproprla
tlons for their parochial schools
thev willingly pay their taxes as
eitlsens to support and uphold this
great system. Hut as Lutherans, be
lng Christians, also wish to have
their children Instructed and raised
recording to Christian principles. In
order that they might not be lost to
the church, they prefer to send Hu m
to their own parochial schools, such
as is being conducted by the l.uth
cran mission in Alliance. This paro
chlal school is free to all children
attending in as much as no obligatory
but only voluntary tuition fees art
solicited in order to cover certain
minor expenses. All classes of child
ren, either German or Knglish, are
aelcome. Kor information apply to

BEGINNING SUNDAY, SEPT. 1
Beginning next Sunday there will
lie BO delivery of mail at the Alli

that which hears a special delivery
stamp. Orders to that effect were
received by Post Master Tash the
first of this week. The order was
general and will go Into effect all
over the country, being in accord
ance with a provision of the post
office appropriation act passed by
congress which has Just adjourned.
Heretofore the general delivery

precludes any delivery except spe

was deposited In the boxes, before
Sunday. The Sunday work hereafter
will be limited to sending out the
mall and delivering special delivery
letterts.
The Herald's railroad djpartment
has been omitted for some weeks
past for the simple reason that our
cut respondent was out of town. Dur
ing this time our local news columns
have contained many Items of In
terest concerning railroad men, but
beginning next week the railroad de
partment will be resumed. This Is
one of the most Important parts of
the paper. There are many persons
who are more Interested In news
concerning railroad people than
they are In the other matter that
the paper contains.
While we have a regular corres
pondent to furnish us railroad news,
we shall be glad to receive any
items of interest that any one else
may choose to furnish for the de
partment. It is our intention to put
this part of the paper in the lead
again as It has beV in the past,
and we shall appreciate the co-op
eiation of our renders.

The Editor of the Scottsbluff Her
ald is a strong temperance man,
but la not satisfied with the present
local option law and its operation in
this state. The following two Items
taken from his paper or last Friday
tell the story:
The Old, Old Story of Booze
Wm. Willlnrd took an overload of
rot-gut booze last Sunday and went
Into the restaurant operated by J.
L. Loy at the lower end of Main
street where he started some trou
ble thnt proved rather dlsasterous
to him. When l.oy got thru with
him and tossed the fragments out
Into the alley, a cot In the hospital
and the services of a physician were
necessary, it is said that Mr. Ixy
trounced Wllllard soundly and per
haps deservedly. However. Loy was
arrested and when the matter came
up for a hearing in Judge S henck's
court Wednesday, he took a thirty
days continuance. In the meantime
nature is repairing the damage to
Willianl's physiognomy.
Law Not Properly Enforced
The liquor laws of Nebraska, as
usually enforced, are about as effect
ive in the control of the DOOM traf
fic as the efforts of a split-bark
beetle to walk backward. What this
state needs we believe is a liquor
law that will make it a penitentiary
offense for an agent or owner of a
booze factory or joint to sell or of
fer for sale any slop in a town or
county where the people nave voted
out the DOOM business. It should
also provide for a heavy fine Im
posed upon any common carrier
bringing liquor into the county or
town as above named. When a law
covering these points, as well as
that of ownership which, by the
way, might be decided by consider
ing possession as ownership has
In en passed and is enforced, there
will he a tailing orf in the booze
business that will cause some of
the slop makers to turn their atten
tion and efforts toward something
that will benefit instead of cursing
mankind.
