Miss Jennie Hansen, who taught the
school in district No. 11, Nichols pre
cinct, the past year, which closed tho
last of May, resided in a little hut Which
she had erected upon tho school house
lot, and also kept a horse which ran at
large in tho school yard or was kept in a
stable erected for that purpose by said
teacher within tho school yard, was rp:
quested by a unanimous vote at the
annual school meeting hold in tho school
house on June 27th, 1892 to rcrapvp said
buildings from the school y,rd. within
tho next thirty days; but uotwithstand
said vote sh.o continued tq reside tlfere
until about the 5th of this month when
she had the stable torn down and her
household goods removed to North
Platte, but loft the dwelling still stand
ing. In the morning previous to her
going away for good she set fire to some
rubbish in the yard and did not extin
guish tho fire before leaving, aud it
caught in the coal-shed which was a
mass of flames when disppvered"by Louis
Tillion and mother who reside neaj by
and who by diligent work finely suc
ceeded in subduing the fire, and thus
saved the school house and other build
ings near by from being consumed. Miss
Hansen was not very well pleased when
the vote was taken for her to remove her
buildings from the yard and was also
more or less out of humor when she
found out that the niajdrity of the peo
ple in the district were opposed to her
having tho school for another term.
Previous tp thp expiration of thp thirty
days within which time she. was re
quested by a vote of the district to re?
move her buildings off the premises, she
went to Geo. Sullivan, the present
director, and informed him that she did
not have to go until a written notice was
served upon her. Said notice was then
served and she immediately made
arrangements -and moved as above stated.
The coal-shed is a mass of charred boards
and cannot be used or repaired--"

"Shrader, for whom the independents
ask loyal men to vole fpr lieutenant-
governor, had plenty of use for railroad
passes if he did not have anj' for the
constitution. When tho session ad
journed a. year ago last spring Shrader's
son, who had been appointed by his
father a committee clerk without duties,
rode up to North Platte on his wav homo
tenhis fatlwrVpass. Whilo in that city
he grew quite confidential with other
young men of his age, and leading them
to a room, opened his trunk and showed
them a stock of stationery and notions
that would have answered to start a man
in business in a small way. Pencils by
the bunch, erasers, rulers, inkstands,
paper, envelopes, penholders and "many
other articles, too numerous to mention,"
all belonging 4o the state had somehow
eft the capital building and journeyed
to North Platte in the trunk of tho son
of the man who proposed to inaugurate
reform by damning tho constitution and
defying the courts.
Shrader, the indeppndent nominee for
ieutenant-governor, tho man who
damned the constitution, and counselled
defiance of the courts, was talking to
three soldiers in Callaway recently, and
wffi6ing a grand army button oh one of
them, pointed lo it and said: "My
friend, don't you think you havo worn
that long enongh? Don't you think you
had better take it off and forget about
the war? I fought for my country and
used to wear one of those buttous, too,
but I got ashamed, of it and took it off."
Now a gentleman up thore, curious to
know how much of jrn army record Mr,
Shrader had, began an investigation and
found that he enlisted in 1SQ5 a fow
weeks before tho war closed and never
got iartber south than Chicago. Tho
gentleman who hunted up the record ex
onerates Shrader from all blame for being
ashamed to wear a grand army button
and says ho would likewise be ashamed
to wear one on such a record as Shra
der's, but he does blame him for insult
ing old soldiers who saw service by tell
ing thorn to cast away the insignia of
patriotism which loyal men and women

Wo have seldom seen so attentive and
earnest a band of teachers in'any county
and we predict great and good results
from tho work as it is being carried on
The spirit and efficiency of our county
superintendent is seen on every hand,
aud we are confident Miss Hosford will
enjoy the reward of her indefatigueable
labors for the teachers of our county.
It is very desirablo that our citizens
should visit the institute as frequently as
possible, and not only witness r work
that is being done, but encourage super

Ample accommodations will be made for
all who come.

Mrs. Manville gave her method of teach

illustrating it with work dono by her pu
pils. Thev build sidewalks, fences, lath
walls, paper rooms, lay out land and
sell it in lots, sell grain, build
brick blocks, visiting the various places
of business and purchasing materials in
prospect, making out bills and specifica
tions. They establish banks in the
school room and learn to conduct the
various departments of business; con
duct all kinds of postoflice business, thus
going out prepared for all kinds of prac
tical work. This is tho kind of school
work that must make our public schools
all their most ardont friends hope for
them. This was one of the most inter

we havo listened to, and we trust it will
be wrought out by all such teachers as
can make an opportunity for it.
In the afternoon Prof. Valentine gave
a most interesting talk on literature, dis
cussing various authors and their works.
selecting such jis ho called tho "bread
and meat of literature." From the
marked attention and deep interest man
ifested by the teachers, we are confident
none present will be at a loss hereafter
to know what to read in poetry and fic

We were gratified to seo some of our

put upon the market lately, as a result
of their half century's experience, their
Dusky Diamond Soap, a soap adapted to

peculiar combination- they are- enabled
to'use tar in this soap, and there is no

cognized as tho greatest of the healing
agents. It also is recognized for its
softening qualities, and any one troubled
with f hard hands, cracked hands, sore

it. Your grocer keeps it.
