ScHool Notes.
By the County Superintendent.
Prof. N. E. Leach of St. Pan, Neb.,
will be hero to conduct the Lincoln
County Institute. The Professor is said
to have no superior in the state as an in
stitute instructor, and every one interest
ed in education should attend and note
the superior manner im which the insti
tute is conducted.
Failure to attend the institute means
failure to secure a school in the county.
All those who are looking forward to the
fall term of school, with the expectation
of teaching should note this fact.
A school officer who does not attend to
his duty promptly is not a proper person
to hold so important a position, and
should resign in favor of one who will
attend to the business intelligently and
energetically. It is not an office that any
person very ardently desires, there are
no pay and no thanks connected with it,
and yet having once accepted the place
there is no excuse for negligence.
Lincoln County Institute will be held
this year commencing June 16th, with
Professors Leach of St. 'Paul, Neb., and
Allwine and Byerly of North Platte, con
ductors. Every one who expects to teach
next school year will be required to at
tend at the opening and continue regular
ly to the close of the same . It is the in
tention of the instructors to make a
special effort to teacli teachers how to
teach, how to classify, bow to carry into
effect a course of study, and how to make
a complete report. These reasons are
sufficient to warrant us in saying that all
who teach in the county this year must
attend the Normal.
It is the intention of the Sup't of
School to use every effort to have an ex
hibit of school work at our Institute and
also at the county fair next fall.
Teachers, keep this fact in view and pre
serve specimens of j-our work and exhibit
it. This is a new departure in this coun
ty, and one, too, which will ba productive
of great benefit. Get your specimens
ready and send them to me without delay.
All those teachers'who are engaged in the
work at present,, are earnestly solicited to
have their pupils prepare work and either
bring it or send it in before the close of
their school.
A Fine Ranch.
The following from the Ogalalla Reflec
tor relative to the ranch of E 31. Searlr ,
will be read with interest by-the many
friends of that sentleman in this city:
"A ride over E. M. Searlevs rauche
shows that he has improved that tract of
eleven hundred acres with a particular
view of making it a stock breeding farm.
He has it fenced into pasture, grain and
meadow lots, the latter containing about
two hundred acres of excellent native
grass, while he has under the plow about
one hundred and ninety acres ; ho has ten
acres of young timber a great portion of
which is ash, and all making a splendid
growth, the remainder of the tract is de
voted to pasture. He has a large barn
and will this year add much in sheds for
his stock accomopation. Mr. Searle is
giving particular attention to horse breed
ing having now sixty good brood mares
and one of the finest Norman stallions in
the state, the get of which are exception
ally good and attractive. He is also
making the breeding of Durham cattle a
specialty and has some, very fine thor
oughbreds and grades are to be found in
the state. This farm is but three miles
from town, and it is but a question of a
few years when Riverside Stock Farm, as
it is named, will be one of the noted stock
breeding farms of the west. Mr. Searle
takes much pride in improving both stock
and farm, which pride is sure to reward
him abonntifully.
The Northwestern Aailroad.
From present indications there is but
little doubt but the Chicago & Northwes
tern railroad will extend its line from the
present terminous, Albion, Boone county,
towards Denver this season. The action
of the Illinois Central road in filing arti
cles of incorporation touching thesame
counties through the state, has evidently
awakened a spirit of rivalry, that will re
sult in both roads making the dirt fly at a
lively rate before the season is over.
There is much connected with the move
ments that are now under consideration,
which assures a lively time, between not
only the Chicago & Northwestern and the
Illinois Central railroads, but the B & M
as well, this season which we have neither
the time to mention, nor liberty at the
present time. Suffice it to say that Mr.
Lusk, one of the directors, with other
officials of the roa'd spent Monday and
Tuesday looking up statistics and other
matters relative to railroad affairs. They
were favorably impressed with the pros
pects and within a few days at most, we
expect to be at liberty to give the public
a bit of news that will be flattering to the
country along the line between Albion
and Broken Bow. Broken Bow Republi

'Mashed Both Feet.
Another victim of the car wheels was
added to the list last Sunday' morning in
the person of a stranger answering to the
name of Sidney Gardner, who was beat
ing his way east. When a freight train
pulled away from the water tank, Gard
ner, in company with another man took
their positions near the train and looked
for desirable brake beams to ride on.
Gardner grabbed for the iron rod beneath
a car, and in attempting to swing under
fell backward with both feet directly on
the rail, the wheels passing over the in
steps of each foot and mashed them flat.
He was taken to Hoover & Duckworth's
office, where his injuries were dressed,
and moved to the Grand Central Hotel.
He is doing as well as could be expected.
The county authorities are caring for the
unfortunate. New Era.
A Frontier County Cyclone.
We learn from Jim Urmson of Moore
field, of some almost miraculous occur
rences connected with the young cyclone
of last Saturday evening. The corn crib
on his father's place, containing some 400
bushels of corn, was lifted free from the
ground and carried a distance of several
rods and dropped, .literally smashing it
into splinters and the corn scattered for
rods around. Also some 4x4, 20 foot
timbers, were taken up from the gronnd
where they were lying, and broken into
kindling, and strewn over several acres of
land. A carriage belonging to a tree
agent also received the impartial atten
tion of this strange freak of nature, for
when it was found it was in just the con
dition of the deacon's one-boss shay.
Considerable damage was done on some
of the neighboring places, but definite
circumstances were not learned. Stock

Mrs. Jerry Hinton, of North Star, has
some fine youqg chickens. She takes a
good deal of pride in them, and when
they began to disappear a few days ago.
mysteriously and with alarming regular
ity and proportions, she very naturally
got up and read the riot act. Whoever
or Whatever was at the bottom of the
matter, transacted his, her or its business
at night. Finding no other way of solv
ing the problem, she took some blankets,
a wagon box and a pitchfork and went
into camp in close proximity to her pre
cious live-stock She went to sleep "only
to be awakened by a row in the hennery.
Grabbing her pitchfork, she charged on
the unknown and unseen, but certainly
present enemy, and soon found herself in
pursuit of him. He was a pole -cat.
Right here is where Mrs. Hinton showed
the blooe and bravery of a heroine. A
pole-kitty is a dangerous thing to pursue.
But the one in question had appropriated
her chicks without even offering to settle
the account by either cash or note. She
therefore determined upon his extermin
ation. He was exterminated. The pitch
fork and Mrs. Hinton. did it. But it was
several days before the atmosphere in her
immediate vicinity seemed to be freighted
with the balmy and enrapturing qualities
that usually pertain to the hills and dales
of this section of sunny Nebraska.

In West Virginia, on the Great Kana
wha river there stands a huge sycamore
tree which is hollow from its centre to
outer surface. This has been utilized as
a residence for two men, a woman and
two children. They live, eat and sleep
in it, and to all appearances are as happy
as any family in a brick front or other
substantially built houfce. On being in
terviewed a short time ago, one of the
men in answer to a query, said, "Yes, we
are pretty well satisfied with our quarters.
The landlord never threatens us with a
writ of ejectment because we don't pay

The number of pupils returned by the

after all who moves the world. If he
would go out on a strike and refuse to
raise a crop for a single year, it would
undoubtedly produce a more disastrous

slow up, the rear cars came up at the rate
of 20 miles an hour, striking the cars in
front, totally demolishing two box cars

next to the ones wrecked was badly
scared. He said he thought the day of
judgment was at hand for him. For
tunately no one was. seriously injured
The train was delayed several hours on
account of the accident.
