ant caller Tuesday. He brought in
three hogs that day and sold them
on the local market that beat any
thing marketed here this season.

netted him,at $5.40 per hundred,$72 33.
Ben is entitled to the belt so far for
producing big hogs, but will grace
fully yield it if some one comes along
with "the goods” that entitles them
to the championship.
Claud Hancock, the genial deputy
county treasurer, was feeling so good
Monday that he was passing around
the cigars to the court-house “gang”

on that date. He felt so happy that
he forgot to state the reason for his
liberality until interrogated when he
replied that a son had made his ap
pearance at his home Sunday and
expected to remain, “and say” con
tinued Claud, “I believe he is going
to be a pop, because he is doing con
siderable hollering.”
Educational Notes.
By the County Superintendent.
We have yet about twenty books on
hand for “Specimen Work.” There
are more than this number of schools
that have made no application for
i one. We cannot but believe those
. teachers who are the least interested
in the advancement of their pupils
belong to the class who do not ac
cept every worthy suggestion for the
promotion of those in their charge.
Teachers working for wages only,
regardless of results, cannot long be
tolerated. Better have no teacher
than such a one. We admire the
teacher who resigns without being
asked w hen he finds he has con
tracted to do more than he is capable
of accomplishing.
What the editor of the Nebraska
Teacher thinks of our plan for an ex
hibition is told in the following let
ter:
Dec. 14th, 1908—Miss Florence E
Zink: 1 was much interested in your
circular No.3. It seems to me your
plan of arranging for an exhibit
of the year’s work at the end of the
year is a particulary good one, and I
believe it will have a splendid tonic
effect upon the year’s work.
Most cordially yours
The Nebraska Teacher.

The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2.—Spec
al market letter from Nye-Scbneider
Fowler Co.
With a run of cattle and hogs in
Chicago Monday up near the record
breaking mark, there being 42,000
and 82,000 hogs, values made a sharp
decline. Cattle and bogs both rang
ing from 15c to 25c lower on that mar
ket. Receipts in South Omaha are
only fair and killing cattle and
medium Stockers and feeders were 10c
to 15c lower with the best feeders,
holding fully steady. We believe
these losses will be fully recovered be
fore the close of the week especially
on the fleshy kinds of cattle.
We quote:
Choice corn fed beef.$6.40(a)$7.25
Fair to good. 4.50(ah 6.30
Hay fed steers. 3.75(a) 5.77
Others from.3.50 to 3.65
Cows and heifers.3.50(a) 5.25
Good butcher grades. 2.90(a) 3.50
Canners and cutters. 2 25(a) 3.00 !
Veal calves. 4.50(ah 7.50
Bulls, stags, etc. 2.50(a) 4.50
C. Stockers & feeders.5.00 (a) 5.50
Fair to good. 4.00(al 4.90
Stock heifers. 2.50(S 3.50
Although there was a break of 10c
to 15c in hog prices the market was
active and had a good healthy tone
and the demand was never better.
Bulk $5.60 to $5.85, top $6.05.
With only moderate receipts of
sheep there is very little change in
prices from last week’s close with the
outlook still strong.
Alliance Herald: A. E. McKeen
of Lincoln purchased the harness busi
ness of Geo. A. Hills last Saturday
| and will conduct the same hence
forth. George will continue to make
his headquarters with Mr. McKeen
and devote his time to the purchase
of hides and other business he has on
hand. Mr. McKeen is a harness
maker of long experience and comes
well recommended: he will bring his
family here in a short time, thus
becoming one of our permanent busi
ness men. _ [
O’Neill is fortunate in having had
no serious fires lately because of the
bad state of the fire fighting equip
ment, but some feel that it will take
a serious conflagration to arouse the
authorities to the importance of
maintaining the proper fire equip
ment. _______
