Both, the attendance and interest in the work of the Lincoln county teachers institute appear to be largely on the increase the pres ent week. This augurs well for the good that will' be acomplishedr and is alike creditable to the in structors and attendants. After the usual opening exercise Monday morning the roll call de veloped the fact that there were 133 preceptors present. Mr. Somers led the class in Third grade work and made a. very inter esting showing. After intermission the instruc tion in the fundamental principles of music by Prof. Orr was shown to have fallen upon good ground by the excellent fruit it was bearing. Atll:15 o'clock Mr. HValson, of Gothenburg, took a class in num bers through the subject of percent age in a very instructive and thor ough manner. In the afternoon Prof. Orr Ied!the class in history from 1787 to 1815. To-day he resumes his subject and takes the class from 1SI6 to 1S35. It is needless to say that he suc ceeded in arousing a great deal of interest in his work. Miss Martin next led in the sub ject of physical culture and the at tention paid demonstrated the fact that a great deal of interest is be ing taken in. this matter. BETWEHS" THE EIVEES.

"We were visited by another se vere storm on the night of the 20th with fall of rain, but the only dam age danerin this section, so far as learned, was one horse killed by lightning on Peter Burke's place.

The early corn will! practically amount to nothing, as the dry weather in July cooked it. Small grain in this precinct is a very slim crop, wheat averaging from three to six bushels per acre. Oats and barley are not much bet ter. The lightning Thursday night shattered a number of fence posts for Henry Cordes. B. At the free silver meeting last Saturday, Judge Neville, one of the speakers, made the statement that only seven and one half per cent of the people of this country owned their homes free from debt, and the crowd cheered him just as though they believed it. The judge is either ignorant or made a willful mistatement. The fact is that nearly thirty-five per cent of the people owning homes hold them free from debt, and only a little over thirteen per cent of the homes of the United States are mortgaged. When a speaker makes a statement that is as far from the truth as this one he is certainly not entitled to the confidence ot the public and car not be trusted in any filing Sid ney Poinardt The teachers of Logan and north ern Lincoln counties have organ ized a teachers association and will hold a meeting atthe office of Coun ty Superintendent Kampmeier on Saturday September 5th 1S, at 1 o'clock p. m.

It Has to bear the brunt of the work, is constantly coming in contact with destroying elements, and generally receives the least care from the rider. The im portance of the work it lias to do was easly recognized by makers of bicycles, however, and they -have given mucn attention to- this im portant adjunct of the wheel. There are today, perhaps, thirty different styles of bicycle tires on the market, all ot which vary in detail As to their various merits,, theories are of little value; actualexperience is the only way to- determine this question. Unless an article gives satisfaction, demaud for it . soon ceases. After a test of over six years, during which time double- tube and single-tube tires have been marketed, at least three fourths of all the riders in this country demand and ride double- tube tires. The leading firm in the United States, and in the entire world, in the manufacture of double-tube tires, is Morgan & Wright, Chicago. Their history is interesting. The first pneumatic tire the rags-and-glue kind was giving trouble, and Morgan & Wright stepped in- to fill a great public want. They fur nished a tire that could be easily taken from the rim to be repaired. That was the principal require ment in those days besides the usual requirements of speed: dur ability and comfort. That was several years asro. Single-tube tires had been pushed in Europe, and were failing and the same effort was being started in this country. The Morgan- & Wright double-tube tire quickly proved its superiority with the re sult stated above The quick-repair inner tube which is this years's standard feature of all of this firm's tires, has made the po- tsition of of double-tube tires prac- trcally invincible by making it quick and easy for the riders to se cure at the roadside, a permanent repair" a thing admittedly impos sible in the majority of single-tube accidents. A ineetingof ladies was held yes terday afternoon in the court house to form an auxiliary to assist in getting a good display of woman's work from Dawson county to be exhibited at the Irrigation Fair in North Platte. Mrs. L P. Griswold was elected president, and Mrs. F. H. Adams, vice-president. The or ganization is composed of ladies interested in the advancement of the county through the science of irrigation, and as Dawson county has more irrigated land than any other county in the state a good exhibit shoui be sent.

Some fatal disease is wiping out hogs in this vicinity at a lively rate, but no one seems to know the na ture of the epidemic It was thought by some that it was chol era, but others think, different. The doctors killed one of H. M. Sullivan's pigs" and the post-mortem revealed that the blood in the region of the heart, and in some of the larger arteries was clotted. The disease made its appearance, about ten days ago, and. hogs af flicted with it die in a couple of days. So far the disease has only appeared in this immediate vicinity but as it has every appearance of being contagious it may spread over the county before it runs out; Broken Bow Republican.
