PURE LAKE ICE
I am again in position to supply
the people of North Platte with a
superior quality of pure ice frozen
from well water. It is as clear as
crystal and of good thickness; not
frozen snow, and slush. A trial
order will convince you of its
quality. I have plenty to last

WHEELS TO RENT
More or Less Personal
The Era positively declines to
say a good word for Wm. Neville
in his effort to secure the nomina
tion for the supreme judgeship.
Why is this so? Has Mr. Cheney
had a tip from the state house ring
at Lincoln, or has his local political
mentor something to do with this
careful avoidance of Mr. Neville
and his boom?
Mr. Cheyney beseeches the popu
lists to put up a clean ticket at the
convention next Saturday. Are we
to infer from this that there are un
clean men in the populist ranks?
For nearly two years past the Era
editor has attempted to make the
people believe that all unclean and
unholy men were members of the
republican and democratic parties,
but now by his own pen he virtually
admitsthat there arerascals in the
populist told.
The democrats of Lincoln county
will no doubt file away a copy of
the Era of August 19th containing
that pleasing article 'A Hold-up
game."' In the course of a couple
of months from now the article may
come handy.
E. W. Crane says his appoint
ment as time-keeper at the Omaha
exposition grounds will not inter-
fere with his candidacv for the
county judgeship. It this is true,
which is doubtful, it will make
grief for Father Buchanan and son
Butler.
C. C. Wetzel will come down from
Hershey to the populist convention
like a wolf upon a sheen oen. and
demand a nomination -on the first
ballot or by acclamation. In the
mean ' time Gus Huffman, in his
quiet way, is gathering in the sup
port of the farmers who are likely
to be delegates to the convention.
An orchard covering 125 acres in
Atchison county, Kansas, has
brought its owners $14,000 for the
apple .crop of this season. It is
another case where a single crop
brings back the original cost of the
land and all the care that has been
put upon the orchard since it was
planted. Some day there will not
be a . quarter section in the south
eastern corner ot Nebraska without
an embellishment of apple trees
The crop will fail now and then,
but every few yQars it will turn out
to be a veritable Klondike. Jour

TEACHERS -AND THE WOBK AC
COMPLISHED.
Nothincr more need be said about
the excellent work that has been
done by the different instructors.
The work has been good from open
ing to close.
The Teacher's Association of
Lincoln county held its meetinjr
yesterday, and everything passed
off in the most pleasant manner
possible.
Several of the narratives prepared
on history brought out through the
Laboratory method were read be
fore the Association, and every one
of them was exceptionally good.
Mr. Kader-read a very interesting
paper on the benefits of teaching
history after the source system, in
which he brought out many very
many good points. This was fol
lowed by a paper read by It. II.
Xangford, on the present methods
of teaching geography and history. .
The Association then proceeded to
the election of officers for the com
ing year. Miss Sarah Ferguson
was chosen president, and Miss
Adda Kocken, secretary.
In the afternoon Dr. Bowlus de
livered a lecture on, "The Evolu
tion of the United States" which
was very instructive and was highly
appreciated by those who heard it.
Every one speaks very highly of the
way the Institute was conducted,
and much credit is due Mrs. Frank-"
liti.
Lieutenant-Governor Harris who
was to lecture last night, failed to
keep his appointment, but Dr.
Bowlus kindly consented to talk to
the large audience, and conducted
them on a trip from Cleveland,
Ohio, along the Lake, through the
St. Claire flats, and to Port Huron,
then on the train to Kingston and
from there by boat down the St.
Lawrence to Montreal. This im
aginary trip was very pleasant,
and told in the Doctor's style was
highly entertaining.
The lecture on Elecution by
Harry Trumbull Sutton was the
only failure, directly, or indirectlv,
connected with the Institute, and it
was a failure of the most pro
nounced character. If his wr.s elo
cution, deliver us from eycr hearing
anything elocutionary again.
"Hie examination of teacher is
now being conducted at the school
house, and as soon as that is over,
the teachers will repair to their re
spective homes, we are convinced,
feeling well satisfied -with the two
week's work; and they will begin at
once the preparation for the tall term
school.
RESOLUTIONS,

Lincoln County Institute, and
teachers of Lincoln county, duly
appreciate the class of work done
by the instructors. Dr. Bowlus.

Two hundred and sixty-five head

Mrs. Hughes, of Greeley Center,
who was struck on the head with a

If youth be imbued with love ot
pursuits that employ the intellect,
and it is furnished with refined
pleasures, he is more likely to be
come a good man, a useful, honor
able citizen, than if subjected to the
strictest moral discipline and kept
in the most unsuspecting ignorance
of the vice and wickedness of life.
A proper knowledge of the nature
of evil is the best armament against
becoming subject to it. The Out
