Punctuality in theSchools.
Ono of the gi eat necessities of success
in business is to be punctual, and like all
other things it has to be taught.
Our public schools have become, of re
cent years, such a handy road to educa
tion in allmo.-t everything, that some
parents leave to them the entire trust of
ihstructin ; their children in all branches
of study and all qualifications to lit
them for business. To accomplish this,
it is necessary to have punctuality among
the scholars so their studies can be given
wth a uniformity.
In most all scholars a habit of being
punctual has to be grown by careful
persua-Mbn and reasoning, and sometimes
reward and punishment are brought in
to play with good effect, and school
i.ivi-a fir ml. 9 urn made, relative to
punctuality, with penalties attached; ami
bv all imaginable means the necessity of
being on tune, is impressed upon tin
.mind of the young student, and if pos
sible, a pride in being punctual is im
parted. The scholar learns to be punctual be
cause of more benefit from his lessons, a
good opinion from his teachers and to
avoid the disgrace which rests on tin
tardv and abs nt, but at tho same time.
that student is perfecting, and study
ing and acquiring a. habit which will b
one of the gre.iU.st attributes to his fu
ture sm c( ss.
Punctuality in schools is every day be
coming a study of more importance, and
the teachers reuort their various devices
for obtaining it - each other, and it
ff-mnerHon with the schools makes them
doubly worthy of attendav.ee.
Neither the t-e i.-li -r nor tho scholar can
wi-nivi- tnn much encour iirement in their
efforts to maintain this factor in th
schools, and to improve upon it, an.
the habit should b.j eneouragen :n every
child by every p uvr.:.
Tho school of Plattsmonlh are w
reguhtted as to punctuality, and tliellr:u
ALD takes pleaure in any means by
waich it could encourage the regular at
tendance of the public schools.
The following are tho names of those
who have been perfect in attendance and
punctuality during the past month in
room 8: John liiuer, August Mum-.n

ACOOD WORK.
Finn Friday's Ia':Iy
Last Tuesday Sheriff Eikenbary re
ceivedword from Eagle that the firm of
McClentic & Benton had been defrauded
of $$73., cool cash, by a "cattle dealer"
named George Calbert, and at 4 o'clock
that eveniug he lelt in his buggy for
Eagle, arriving there at midnight. He
remained there till morning and learned
the particulars. l seems that Calbert,
during last week, went to the firm of
McClentic & Benton and represented .
them that he had made arrangements and
comnl'-t-d fon'i-ift for 1 v.n car laads
of catlte, ' : 1 ,,is
money matters he desired to borrow $87"
to help him out in his bargain, and after
due negotiations he obtained the money,
ind immediately disappeared. Xo one
knew whither he had gone and the de
ceived firm sent for the sheriff.
Mr. Eikenbary by his superior knack
of tracing clews, and wide experience
with such criminals, after a days' travel
mid inquiry at Lincoln made him a clew,
and following it up he soon traced the
culprit to his mother's, Mrs. George
Seails. of Cambridge, lied Willow coun
ty. Mr. Eikenbary -was here rewarded
with the sight of his man and arrested
him.
Calbert did not know Mr. Eikenbay,
and .when his visit was made known to
him he could do nothing but "come
along" and the sheriff arrived here with
his man this morning, and a preliminary
heating was had this afternoon before
Judge Kussell, and the. trial set for next
Tuesday at 10 a. m.
On searching Calbert, Sheriff Eikenbary
found $4fi:).!30 in cash on his person,
which Citlbert turned over to Mr. Benton,
who was very much pleased with the
sheriff's successful trip.
At the trial Tuesday no prosecution was
present and Calbert was let go. He
haveng made good the $873.

was considerably frightened at having
tho milk so unceremoniously served.

State Convention of the W. C T. U.
at Beatrice-
Beatkice, Thursday, Oct, G.
The first session of the W. C. T. U.
state convention was held in the Metho
dist church last evening.
At 7:30 the convention was called to
order by Mrs. Jennie F. Holmes, state
president. Soon the drum sounded and
the Band of Hope of Beatrice marched
in singing a song of greeting. Mrs.
Palmer, state superintendent of evangel
istic work, then gave a short bible read
ing after which prayer was offered.
The Band of Hope sang "Tremble
King Alcohol, we shall grow up. which
is rendered with much spirit. Next
came the address of welcome by Mrs. A.
Hardy of Beatrice in which she extended
to all persons who were here for the pur
pose of attending the convention. Then
came the response by Mrs. Black of Kan
sas. We were entertained by a selection
v Mr. 1ST. K. Griggs on the flute accom
panied by his young daughter on the or
gan. Mrs. Fleta McDonald then gave a
recitation to which all listened to wun
pleasure and was very well rendered.
The president's address was very inter
esting and .showed much thought and
study. The chair then appointed a com
mittee on credentials after which all
arose and after singing were dismissed
with tho benediction.
The convention opened at 1:30 o'clock-
Friday afternoon, with devotional exer
cises, led by Mrs. Palmer. At 2 o clock
he prcsipent took the chair and business
beg.ir
Fh -a, came encourageiug speeches from
Miss Martha K. Pearce, of the staff of the
Woman's Tribune; Mrs. Palmer, national
superintendent of evangelistic work, and
Rev. Ingram of the Christian church of
Beatrice.
The recommendations of the executive
committee were then acted upon seriatim
and afterward adopted as a whole. The
ladies removed their bonnets for physical
comfort. This, to many, was an exploit,
requiring a display of moral heroism.
Ihe following committees were ap
pointed:
Cnion Signal Mrs. Adams, chairman.
Resolutions Mrs. Fulton, chairman.
Constitution for local unions, Mrs.
Lvnn, chairman.
Courtesies of convention, Mrs. Clark.

A WHOLESALE

GROCER ABROAD.
it Riiglittli
Admittance to a
Theatre.
Heard a good one about Cliarlio Brown,
the wholesale grocer. Some years n0 Jlr.
Brown and mi Ohio friend wero in London
toet::er. . While thera they went to the tbe
utro togetlwr one evening when it was an
nounced that tho royal family were to bo
present and no gentleman not correctly at
tired in evening dress would be admitted.
Mr. Brown and his friend appeared in frock
coats and were denied admittunco to their
seats. They went to a woman in ono of tho
ante rooms and asked her to few the tails of
their coats Lack in order to give them the ap
pearance of a cutaway. She agreed to do it,
hut said she ha.l done it for others, and tho
scheme would not work. Mr. Brown and his
friend, not being so easily put aside, then
went to a costumer and each secured an ex
tremely old fashioned claw hammer, much
too large, and knee breeches. Thus attired
they again demanded entrance. A demurrer
was entered, but Mr. Brown called attention
to the fact that he had on a dress suit, and'it
mattered not whether it was the stylo of a
century ago or the present, or whether it
fitted him or not.
The two were finally allowed to go in. Tho
coats looked outlandish; when tho two gen
tlemen sat down the collars stuck up over
their heads, and the tails brushed tho floor.
In addition to their oddity of dress, both car
ried spy glasses in lieu ot opera glasses, which
they leveled in every direction. To mako the
situation more grotesque they would stand
up between tho acts, showing their costume
to the greatest advantage. Finally the at
tention of the entire audience, including the
Prince of Wales, was attracted to them, and
everybody burst into laughter at their ridicu
lous appearance. Meanwhile the two Ameri
cans, though they were inwurdly enjoying
the whole thing, maintained their compos
ure, ran out their spy glasses and insiected
the people laughing at them with tho greatest
impunit3 while they disported themselves in
tho old time raiment. Everybody supposed
they were simply a couple of eccentric Ameri
cans bent on having a good time, and had no
idea of tho real cause of their peculiar attire.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Sreno in u Confederate Camp.
One aflair, of which I wns un eye witness,
was very ludicrous. V.'e wero in paroloeamp
during the winter of 1863 i at Enterprise,
Hiss., and, of coin s-, in winter quarters. The
cabins wero constructed with tho strictest re
gard to economy in material and labor, al
though the forint r was in wasteful abundance.
A mud chimney cijcht feet high was fairly in
proportion with the rest of the structure.
This description is necessary to understand
waas ionows. .as inis mne wneat Hour was
almost unknown in the lower south, and an
occasional ration of it was hailed as a God
send. It was on such an occasion that a hall
witted soldier could be seen through his open
cabin door carefully baking some biscuit
for supper. One of my men told me to take
post in tho darkness outsido so as to com
mand a view of tho fireplace, and to await
results.
Very soon I observed a commotion in the
cabin. It was suddenly filled with smoke,
and when this cleared away the occupant ap
peared to bo counting his biscuit. He gazed
around the room in a dazed sort of way,
looked under his bunk and finally peeped out
doors, as if looking for something. While
this was transpiring the -wag had joined me,
with a hot biscuit in his hand, and explained
his modus operandi. lie had rolled a block
near the chimney, and armed with a piece of
pine bark and long, sharp stick, he mounted
it, inserted his stick hi the chimney and
waited. When his victim lifted the lid to in
spect his treasures, the bark closed the mouth
of the chimney, drifing the dense pine smoke
iuto his face, blinding and stifling him. In
an instant a biscuit was stuck, whisked up
the chimney and the joker was gone. This
was repeated until the terror stricken cook
fled from his hut in dismay, with the firm be
lief that the devil or a witch had possession
and was carrying off his supper on a broom
stick. And such continued to be his belief,
and it must be confessed that it was founded
upon much better evidence than that usually
given in support of a ghost stoi-y. Ex-Confederate
