I The regular meeting- of the school
I board was held last night, all mem
; bers being" present. After reading
i of minutes of the previous meeting
j the secretary was asked to state
reasons why Annie Eshelman was
admitted free to our schools. It
was shown that her residence was
Lestablisbed here, but the census
failed to get her name. The secre
tary's report was read and ordered
placed on the minutes.
A number of bills were then al
lowed, after which the secretary
was instructed to draw up a warrant
for S25 for six months rent to the
2vorth Platte Telephone company;
also one for six months rent for the
Unitarian hall.
The resignation of Miss Thoel
ecke was read and accepted. Miss
Lizzie Burke was chosen to fill the
vacancy caused by the former's res
ignation and her salarv was fixed
at $50 per month.
The secretary was instructed to
procure six microscopes for the
high school at a cost of 516 each.
In his report Superintendent
Ebright said "it is a pleasure to me
to be abe to report such good re
sults as are everywhere apparent
in our schools so far during- the
ear. I am sorry that I cannot
speak in so laudable terms of all of
our school equipments. It is a tact
that two of the rooms that we have
rented for school rooms are not
fit rooms in which to have these
young boys and girls for six hours
a day and require them to use
books. We are doing a vast
amount of injury to these young
folks and I think that it ought not
be done."
The total
month is S73.

A colony of Nebraska people left
on the Burlington Friday afternoon
for Albany. Oregon. The party was
composed of the families of R. R. Jor

Rev. J. C Lance brought us in a
sample ot Nebraska grown cotton
one day this week. It was some j
which he grew at his home from '
seed sent from Oklahoma. It was
planted along in corn planting sea
son and did notall fully nature betore
frost. One of the samples brought
us is fast to the pulp as it grew and
the bulp is spread open from being
frosted. Another had been picked
from the pulp and apparently had
matured. It is very soft and much
finer and nicer than the ordinary
cotton. Leigh World.
There are tricks in all profes
sions, that of the hobo included. In
South Omaha where Tree lunches
don't go and "hand outs" are hard
to get. the knights of the road
have become desperate and organ
ized themselves into a walking em
ployment agency to fieece the un
sophisticated who are on their up
pers" and gladlv part company
with thier last dollar ia expecta
tion of securing work. Experience
comes high but we must have it.
A couple of Weary Willies, tired,
hungry and cold, broke into the
Evans school house east of
Grand Island and took possession
tor the night. They found a stove
and plenty of fuel in the building
and a coffee pot that was used by
the school as an object for the
drawing lesson. "As thev hadi
brought coffee and meats with them
the coffee pot was used for the pur
pose that it was originally intended,
and a plate left in the room by some
of the pupi's came into good play
as a frying pan. The boys must
have thought thev had struck it
rich, and as they committed no fur
ther depredation than demolishing
thelock on the door and burning a
bushel or so of coal the school
board does not begrudge them the
night's lodging.
A young sprig of a fellow who

has been dra wing 55 a day for fool-

at the Kearney Reform school and
forjjot the combination. Io one
has yet been found who can unravel
the report, although a number

GIVES A STTHBEISZ PASTY.
A very pleasant surprise party

a number of his class mates and

The following essay was written
by C. E. Mathewson. of the Ninth
grade. Brady Island school.
"By all means borrow all the trouble
you can. If you can't borrow enough by '
day sit up nights and set some one to
heipyt.u. You will have srowsfeet tn
the corners of your eyes by the ture jou
are twenty-five and you vs- til need a wic
at thirty, but never miad. there is a sat
isfaetton in knowing that trouble has ;
done it.
Always be on the lookout for some- i
thing to happen. Full half the trouoies
of this life are purely imaginary and the ,
more you worry the lireiier wih vour
imagination become, There are th us
ands of people m this worid ivntmu.ii.y
looking for trouble. Something terrible
is continually staring at tbein m sue fu
ture. They expect the cholera every
yean they look constantly for small -pox:
they shrink up and shudder at the j
thought of a comet: they expect t te
struck by lightning every time a c oud
pusses: they never go to bed without ex
pecting to he murdered before morning; i
they are constantly looking out for tits i
of iieknss. and believing that an ounre
of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
they employ preventatives and treir
houses smell of otioos and camphor,
hartshorn and whiskey in about equal
parts.
They do not seem to reaiiz that most
of the troubles we have are those we
never expected or dreamed of. What
we are confidently expecting to come,
seldom dees coae, and the heaviest .
blows fall npon us when we are most at
ouf easa,
