Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Tears of
Howe wore the guests of Rev.
and Mrs. G. W. Ayers Thurs-
day. Mrs. Tearc remained over
night and the next morning, with !
Mrs. Ayers. went to Nebraska
City, the latter lady returning in
the afternoon by way of Auburn.
The Auburn city council is cer
tainly a business-like body of
men. At a recent meeting one
of the questions debated at
length was whether they would
allow a bill of 50 cents presented
by one of Auburn's enterprising
citizens for burying three dead
rats that had laid in the streets
until they became offensive to
eyes and nose. The bill was fi
nally disallowed. Another ques
tion that caused lengthy discuss
ion was whether the city would
have a piece of sidewalk that
hud been overturned Holloween
night put back at the expense of
the city, or require the owner to
put it back. This was left unde
cided and the walk left in the
street.
Brownville may have its
mine, with coal and iron and all

to exhume and transform into

Jesse Ellis, residing two miles
south of the historic Nebraska
town, has come upon a most cur
ious geological or mineralogical
formation which he believes to
be of value. In a letter to the
Star he describes the formation
verv carefully. The letter has
been turned over to Prof. Erwin
Hinckley Barbour, head of the
department of geology at the
university, and Mr. Ellis will
receive a learned opinion, with
possibly a visit to his place by
the geologist.
a . t
Mr. mills soys there is six
inches of bright rust over the
layer of what he believes to be
iron ore. Under this is a deep
blue rock and a steel colored
shale which is very hard. The
rock looks like blue marble or
gpanite. Right underneath, says
Mr. Ellis, is a formation of
petrified stratum, three or four
inches thick, which has a grain
like wood, the grain running up
and down. It is very full of
glass, he says, which breaks
out tin small chunks, and is of
a deep blue color. It is very
easily split up and down, and is
very hard. Any of this will heat
red hot, he says, very red.
This vein starts in from the
creek like the coal vein at Peru,
except that Mr. Ellis feels that
he has a good prospect for min
eral and is anxious to get samp
es of his ore analyzed by state
geologists and chemists. His
coal lead, while good, he does
not believe to be extensive
enough to make it worth while
to mine for it. The other form
ation, however, extends back in
to the bluff an indefinite dis
tance. Lincoln Star.

Consolidation of
School Districts
A meeting has been called by
County Superintendent Carring-
ton, to bo held at the opera house
in Nemaha Monday, Nov. 18, at
8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose
of discussing the question: Shall
districts No. 33, 35. 36, 37, 59
and GO consolidate, and build a
large twelfth grade high school
in Nemaha? Supt. 0. J. Kern of
Winnebago county, 111., will lec
ture on consolidation, using ster
eoptican and showing pictures ex
plaining how the plan works in
Illinois and Ohio. Everybody in
these districts invited.
District No. 33 is Happy Hol
low, two and one-half miles north
of Nemaha; 35 is the school in
the bottom three miles northeast;
3G is the Nemaha district; 37 is
Maple Grove, two miles north
west; 59 is Champion, four miles
southwest; 60 is Larkin, three
miles southwest.
As we understand the proposi
tion, it is to establish a twelfth
grade school in Nemaha, just
what they have in Auburn, and
do away with these outside dis
tricts. Enclosed wagons will
go after pupils living very far
from the school, going after
them in the morning and return
ing them after sohool. No tui
tion, of course, would be charged
any pupil living in the consoli
dated districts, and they would
have the benefit of just as good
schools as Auburn has. We be
lieve the plan is a good one, and
hope to see it adopted.
What Nebraska Soil Can Do
There has been much said
about what Nebraska soil can
raise, but from Talmage comes
tV.e best story backed up with
good substantial proof as to its
truthfulness. H. G. Tait, who
resides on what is known as the
second table land along the Ne
maha river, planted eleven acres
of corn in the spring and his
sons planted larger tracts.
This eleven acres was tended by
Mr. Tait according to his ideas
of farming, and recently he had
his corn husked and cribbed and
he finds that he has eleven hun
dred bushels of corn from the
eleven acres, which is 100 bushels
to the acre. That what his sons
planted was not so good, because
after they had plowed it and
laid it by after a heavy rain fell
and they never stirred the ground
This is the biggest yield of
corn that we have heard of in
this section of the state.
William Gehm, who resides in
the city, did nearly as well from
the five lots he farmed during
the season. Jle raised two
crops of potatoes from the same
ground and each was a large
one. He dug the first crop
early and sold it and prior to
digging it had planted potatoes
vi ii .i
iDeiween xne rows ana tie
second crop was growing when
the first crop was dug. He
never allowed a weed to grow
but kept stirring the ground at
all times and the result was
1 that he raised more potatoes in

The exoneration of Prof. Sear-
son of the Peru normal school by
,a jury in district court at Auburn
from serious, charges preferred
by a young woman pupil of the
scnooi win De source oi sincere
gratification to the friends of
Mr. Searson everywhere, none
of whom ever believed that the
charges were founded on any
shadow of fact and all of whom
knew Prof. Searson to be incap
able of the offence charged
against him. The evidence pre
sented at the trial however in
dicates to the observing eye
that there are some busybodies
connected officially with the Peru
institution who will not hesitate
to expand a dangerous scandal
from the most flimsy pretext
and the be3t interests of the
school will demand that all such
should sever their connection
with the school without delay
or have their connection severed
for them by short and sharp
official action. A co-ed school
like tho Peru Normal is a dan
gerous place for an official scan
dal-monger who is ready to be
lieve and circulate anything
about anybody, regardless of
proven character and years of
clean, upright and manly life.
