In District Court.
District court adjourned Tuesday,
when the Jury was dismissed. Only
two cases were tried since our last
issue. A. Smith, a land agent at
Stuart, secured a verdict in a case of
interest to real estate men in general.
He brought suit against Mrs. Louise
Bartow and husband of Gordon to se
cure his commission for obtaining a
buyer for a farm owned by the Bar
tows in the vicinity of Stuart and was
awarded $524.82 by the jury.
Mr. Smith made a showing to the
effect that in 1906 he entered Into a
contract with the Bartows to sell
their farm at $40 per acre and was to
have $500 commission for securing a
buyer. Soon after he found a buyer
who wanted the land at the price
stated, when the owners refused to
sell. By the terms of the agreement
the owners were to furnish a deed
when a buyer was fonnd. Their re
f usual to sell was the cause of the suit,
jand the verdict in favor of Mr. Smith
bstablishes the right of a land agent
to Inforce a contract.
. The case against Charles Falk, the
Verdigris township boy, who was
found guilty a few months ago in
bounty court of stealing one bushel of
oorn and on which appeal was taken
to the district court, went against the
boy in the higher court. A verdiot
was returned by the Jury finding him
guilty. The court had not yesterday
fixed the amount of fine.

Educational Notes
We wish to thank the school boards
of Ilolt county who were so generous
to give their teachers the two days
necessary to attend the North Ne
braska Teachers’ association held at
Norfolk last week. Fifty teachers and
ten prospective teachers, making sixty
in all, was the enrollment from this
county. We are very much pleased
with this response made to the first
call on the school boards of the rural
districts especially, and from the in
terest and pleasure.'your teacheis ex
perienced there can be no doubt but
you will be repaid manyfold for your
generosity.
After hearing Inspector A. A.
Reed’s practical talk on "Expression
in Reading" one cannot help but
beach that subject better, nor could
ane help but be convinced that the old
way is not the better way of teaching
geography, after hearing Dr. Win
Jhip’s address,"The New Geography."
His lecture “The Making of Manly
Boys” proved that he has been very
fittingly styled "the Horace Mann of
fils time.” The point most emphati
cally brought out was that the nation
today needs fathering. The father
spends too much of his time attend
ing to his business, and not enough
with his boys. Probably the best lec
ture was given Thursday evening by
Colorado’s Governor Henry A. Bucbtel
who is also Chancellor of the Univer
>ity at Denver. One hearer has said
Chancellor Buchtel’s lecture on Theo*
lore Roosevelt belongs In the same
class with Bishop Fowler’s lecture on
Abraham Lincoln.
The primary, grade, high school,
luperintendent and rural sections,
each separated from the others, gave
ill an opportunity to hear much of
;he subject he was most Interested In
md to express his views or ask ques
tions, according to his need to assist
Jthers or be assisted.
Since we promised to publish the
lames of those in attendance from
Bolt county, we respectfully submit

Mail Order Clothes.
Walt Mason in Empora (Kan.)
jlazette: I bought me a suit of the
learsbuck brand, they said it was
tailored and sewed by hand; they said
:t was woven of finest wool, and
jouldn’t be torn by an angry bull;
;hey said it was fine, and would sure
y last till Gabriel tooted the final
jlast. It was ten cents cheaper than
suits I’d bought from local dealers,
who seemed quite hot and shed a
bucket of briny tears, when I bought
ny clothes of the Sawbuck Bears. I
wore that suit when the day was
lamp, and it shrunk to the size of a
postage stamp; the coat split up and
bhe vest split down and I scared the
worses all over the town, for the but
tons popped and the seams they tore,
and the stitches gave, with a sullen
roar. And I gave that suit to a maid
3n small, who found it handy to dress
ber doll.
