Chapter No. 2 is due this week rel
ative to tlie 94-year-oid mentioned in
these columns last week as being on
the grounds to buy a horse ranch.
One enterprising real estate dealer
says he spent $20 on the sprightly old
chap showing him ranches. Landlord
Zienurof the Merchants says he was
the best boarder at his hotel, with an
apetite like a harvest hand, but ne
glected the formality of asking how
much lie owed upon departing, besides
leaving a loan of $2 unsettled. lie re
marked, however, that his ancient
friend had written him that lie
would be back again. At any rate,
some doubts have arisen as to the
genuineness of the old gentleman’s
desire to buy a ranch, and the story of
his great age is also looked upon with
suspicion.
Jerry McCarthy died at his home in
this city Saturday last after a linger
ing illness. The cause of death as
cribed by tlie attending physician was
subdiapliragmalic abscess. The de
ceased was four months and three
^qvc nocf n.t'hraa vooiv a f o tm XI
was a native of Ireland, but came
with his parents to America at the
age of six years. Their first home in
America was at Hancock, Mich. In
1878 the family moved to O’Neill.
Mr. McCarthy grew to man’s estate
among us, and in 1885 was married to
Mary E. Dwyer. Five children were
born to this union, Margert M., John
P., Eugene, M. Vernica and Lance, all
of whom, except Eugene, are living.
His wife also survives him. He was a
member of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen. Funeral services
were held Monday forenoon at St.
Patrick’s church, the remains being
laid to rest beside those of his son in
the Catholic cemetery.
Complaint comes to this otlice that
two tombstones provided by the
government lor old soldiers have been
dumped in the vacant lot between the
two cemeteries. The names of the
old soldiers for whose graves they
were ordered arc on the stones, with
the number of regiments and compan
ies. When the stones were ordered is
not known, but our informant thinks
from appearance that they have laid
there for several years. It would seem
that whoever ordered the stones would
have made some arrangements about
having them erected over the graves.
The government furnishes these stone
free for the graves of old soldiers and
it is negligence or thoughtlessness in
this instance that the stones have
not been put in the proper places. It
is to be hoped that whoever has the
authority to act in the matter will
see that the same are erected.
The Methodist congregation expect
soon to install a gasoline lighting
plant in their house of worship.

Educational Notes.
The Stafford district has just re
ceived a new seventeen dollar library
The school at Emmet is at present
making a second addition toits library
th is year.
After September 1st, 1907, a second
grade certificate cannot be issued to a
teacher who has not had at least eight
weeks normal training, or a year’s ex
perience in teaching.
A first grade certificate cannot be
issued except the applicant has had
twelve weeks normal training or a
year’s experience in teaching.
This legal minimum requirement is
hardly worth considering unless it
acts as a stiraulent to further prepara
tion on the part of the teacher.
The Nebraska Teacher prints the
fo'lowing in this month’s publication1
It is generally believed that the
new inspector of high schools will use
his iniluence against the use of tobac
co on the part of teachers in the
public schools. As a superintendent
lie always took a firm stand on that
question. He believes that a board of
education should never employ as
Iiivv-inieui; i (.M IUV|[JU1 vjlic n l
uses tabacco in any lorm.
lie will quite likely refuse to re
commend any teacher or university
student for a position in the schools
who uses tabacco. A failure to secure
the endorsement of ths inspector for a
position or for a promotion is about
as hard a blow as can come to any
teacher. If he takes that stand it
means that the young men in the
schools using tabacco will be forced
to give up the habit or else take con
siderable chance in securing better
places. It also means that many
university student who aspire to posi
tions in the public schools will quit
using tabacco before the end of the
senior year or else i ecure places
through their own efforts.

Junior Normal Schools.
Lincoln, Neb., May 15, 1907.—In ac
cordance with the authority vested in
me by law, I have located state junior
normal schools at Alliance, Alma,
Broken Bow, Geneva, McCook, North
Platt, O’Neill and Valentine for the
year 1907. All these schools will open
June 17, continue seven weeks, and
close August 3. The sessions will be
held in the high school buildings of
the public school districts of the afore
said towns.
The faculty for the O’Neill junior
normal school is as follows: Principal,
Dr. II. K. Wolfe, of the University of
Nebraska, Lincoln; Instructors, Supt.
N. C. Abbott of Tekamah, Supt. J.
G. Mote of O’Neill, Supt. O. R.
Bowen of Pierce, Supt. G. M. Hopkins
of Rock county, Supt. John Scheie of
Keya Paha county, Prin. C. E. Claus
of Butte, Mrs. F. M. Hawkins of Stan
ton, Miss Eleanor of Lincoln; Regis
trar and treasurer, Supt. Florence E.
Zink of Holt county.
In each school the instructors are
men and women of scholarship, ex
perience, and integrity, men and
women of well known and approved
educational opinions. They are among
the ablest school men and school
women of the state. They are
acquainted with the public school
system, with the needs of the public
schools, and especially the needs of
the rural schools. Each instructor is
peculiarly fitted for the work and the
school assigned

Superintendent.

It will be advisable to investigate
the source of the family water supply
as warm weather comes on. Dug or
bored wells are apt to catch a great
amount of surface tilth, and some
animal life as well. Sheriff Hall
pumped out a snake while pumping
water for his horses the other day.
Dr. Gilligan departed Sunday last
for Chicago, where he went to take a
post graduate course, ne expects to
be away till about July 1.
