The Chautauqua at Creto Ckete, Neb., March 27. The Chau tauqua assembly for which opens in June on their beautiful grounds on the Big Blue river, promises to be more sue restful than any of its predecessors. Ono of the great attractions will be the He v. T.

United States Marshall Meade has forwarded to Secretary of State Bayard an account of the arrest of himself and deputies by Mexican officials while pursuing the Southern Pacific train robbers on Mexican soil.' lie received information February 21 that a train on the Southern Pacific had been stopped by robbers near Stein's Pass, and that the United St;itcs mail ag-?nt had been fired at and the express robbed. lie summoned a posse consist ing of ten men, among whom were four Indian trailers. The party mbsequently returned to Tucson and then followed the robbers to Mexican territory. Meade went to Janos to report to the Mexican authorities there, and to ask their assis tance in catching the robbtrs, when him self and party were arrested and their arms and horses taken. At the expira tion of fourteen days they ware released, and for the first time were informed that their arrest was on account of their be iiig an armed posse. The marshal's re quest for a return of their horses and arras wa3 refused because he would not -igu a statement which exonerated the M -xiean authorities.. The party .vas com pelled to return without horses, transpor tation or arui9 ns best as tbey could. Tho State Teachers' Association. Fjiemont, Neb., March 27.

Blnke, of Beatrice, treas urer, reported on hand 118. George L. FaruhamA president of thi ftate normal school at Pern, presidmt of the association, was introduced and de livered an address. Subject: "Are Our Schools in harmony With Present Social Conditions ?" The condition of society less than two generations ago was ana jzed and contracted with the present. Then each indiudual community was inure nearly s"lf-reliaut. The entire num ber of necessities were produced in the community and often in the family Great changes have been wrought in so ciety, chiefly by inventions and divisions of labor. These have necessitated changes in the school svbtem. Now it J5 " part'ikes of the complications of society. The tendency of schools at the present is away from the objective education of the past. The remedy is in manual training. The substance of real practical know ledge is largely lot in grasping for forms. Committees on resolutions and nomi nations of efliecrs were selected to report tomorrow. The Way ue quartette fur nished vocal music for the evening. The session closed with the presidents recep tion and social. DECORS OF Bo mo LONG AGO. rurlidi Hooka One, two. five and ten-acre tracts for riiIr on reasonable terms.

We saw an article the ether day which relates how "Pete" McCartney, the "King of Counterfeiters" did a smart piece of crooked work. "The government had permitted the publishers of 'Heath's De tector' to print plates therein, from the genuine plates, bearing mutilation marks consisting of heavy dark lines across the face. McCartney bought up these detec tors, cut out the plates, split them and pasted them on bank n'-tc paper, and then snbiected them to pressure. Then he appended the signatures." Mauy people who have rot seen this done might think it impossible; yet it is not only possible but extremely easy. Get a piece of plate glass, and place it on a sheet of paper; then let the latter be thoroughly soaked. But the best plhn is to paste a piece of c-lolth or strong paper to each side of the sheet to be split When dry, violently and without hesita tion, pull the two pieces asunder, when part of the sheet will be found to have adhered to one and part to the other, Soften the paste in water and the pieces can be easily removed from the cloth The process is generally demonstrated as a matter of curiosity, yet it can be utiliz ed various ways. If we want to paste in a scrap book a newspaper article printed on both sides of the paper, and possess only one cop', it is very convenient to know how to detach the one side from the othT. The paper when spit, as may be imagined, is more transparent than it was before being subjected to 'the .opera tion, and the printing ink is somewhat duller; otherwise the two pieces present the appearance of the original if again brought together.

"The waiters here complain that some of the people that come in here, where they can get a plate of roast beef, tnrkey, lamb, or most anything else for twenty cents, expect as much attention and ex cellence of food as they would require at no town swell resorts, where they think nothing of paying 1 for dinner, wltli at least a quarter for the waiter." The speaker was the proprietor of a large diniug room down town, where low prices prevail. He added, sententiously: "I have 'always noticed that a Kan's air of importance and the size of his din ner check are likely to be in direct inverse proportion. Many men .with a' fifteen cent check walk out with a hundred thou sand dollar air. There is no place in the world, I am told, where a man can get so ruch to eat for his money, in quantity and variety, as he can here in New York. Of course, I mean down town-" New York Sun. Perhaps the best paid woman connected Trith journalism in America is Miss Mary Louise. Booth, who receives 3,000 a year for editing Harper's Bazar. ' There are said to be only four horses in Au-.ska, three at Junean and one at Sitka. Marion Ilarland says that the coming woman -vill have fcer own bank account. Kiitries Found In uOO Years Old. In many parish books, about .'500 year? ngJ, we find such entries as these: "I'r.yd for whippin tow poro folk, ijd." "I'nyd and given to a pore man and his will that was wipped, iiijd." This was double the usual turiir, which is represented by "Gave the tow when they went, ijd.' In Saxon times the beggar, unless lie found refuge in one of the then thinly scattered monasteries, was in evil ca.se. lie be longed to the dangerous tribe of master less men, people for. whom no one w;w answerable, and those who sheltered him were fain to do it by stealth, for if u man stayed with you mure than a couple of days you were accountable, not only for anything he might then do, but also for his antecedents. Mr. Itibton Turner thinks race had a good deal to do with beggary. When you take away a man's means of life he must either starve or rob or beg. The oldest natives o Great Britain were short, dark people Basques, say some, Esquimaux say others; the tall, light haired Gjiel beat them out from almost everywhere, except part of South Wales. Then the Cymri, another Celtic people, crniefcicross from the Cimbric Chersonese (rviiT.n-W l --.1 I in Aberdeen, p;va owe Picts, and coming southward were met by the tide of Saxon, or, as the new lights prefer to call it, "English" invasion, and turned aside into Wales. What tho round skulled Gael had done to the short skulled people who had preceded him the Saxon did to the Gael. He took his tilled land from him; in those days it was not much, nine tenths of the island being forest and marsh, and he gave him no chance of set tling near him and bringing in some of the wild country. That was not done till later, when the monasteries (true agricultural colonies) set tiie example of making the desert smile. The conquered had nothing foi- it but to submit to slavery or to "move on. " If lie moved on with a lot of friends ho might settle down somewhere in Wales, or on tbe Cornish moors, or in the wild dis trict called Cumbria (Cymri's Laud), f; .in Chester to the Solway. But there wouM generally lie somebody to turn out, so, ii lie was alone or with few, becging or robbing (the two were interchangeable) was his ouly resource. All the Year Round. Some thins About Walnuts. The walnut is indigenous to Upper Asia and in the mountainous regions of Persia is found growing wild. It vflta known to the Romans as Juglans lleia or royal tree of Jupiter. It was in; in duced into Italy at the beginning of tiie Christian era, and gradually spread over western Europe. It was introduced into England many centuries ago from Fraree, which country was then called Gaul, and some authorities say the word "walnut" is a corruption of "Gaul-nut." (Webster gives the derivation, however, from an Anglo-Saxon word, "wealh hnut," from "wealh" a foreigner, a stranger, and "hunt," a nut). In Europe it is called simply "walnut," and the name English walnut used in this country was bestowed by the colonists of Virginia to distinguish it from the nr.tive American black wal nut. The tree seems to flourish every where. It thrives In rich and poor land, on mountain and in valley, in rock and barren soil where hardly anything else can be grown. But in deep soil with a moist bottom the English walnut grows luxuriantly and yields large crops at a comparatively young age. American Grocer. A Relic of Ilarbarism. It is many years since the traveler who was advised to go and see India remarked that he did not care to do so, as the gov ernment had abolished hook swingingand widow burning. But some of the inhabi tants of that vast peninsula are still given to a strange custom, of which little or nothing is known to Europeans. It seems that in the nizam's dominions there is a caste in which this practice prevails. When any of its members die a flag is at tached to a bamboo and the bamboo is given to a man to hold over the corpse of the deceased. Then, having retired to a convenient distance, the men of the caste open fire on the flag, probably by way of showing their distress and of helping the soul of the deceased on its journey to some other world. But not everybody is a William Tell, and sometimes it happen that the man holding the flag is sho. This actually occurred on a recent occa sion, and notice was taken of it by the nizam's government. In The Tarida, cr government gazette, it is 'made known to all concerned that no flag held over a corpse is to be Hied at in the future. St. James Budget. Noticeable 3eteoroloj;ical Phenomena. The meteorological phenomena accom panying the building of railroads in Mexico are receiving the attention of scientific men in that, country. Recent serious damage done by washouts on the northern section of the Mexican Central road was due to wirterspouts bursting ou the track, and it is a curious fact that waterspouts seem to be attracted by tbe iron track and telegraph wires. Engi neers on the line of the Guadalajara branch of tbe Mexican Central railway have noted that as fast as the construc tion advances rain follows, and they hold that this is due to the largo lot of steel raiLs on Hat car3 which are carried for ward as fast as the work of construction permits. The most noticeable fact is that the country is dry in advance of the con struction trains, and also behind them for many mile3. Kains beat down, as de scribed, in bucketfuls just where the steel rails are, but only in circles a few rruies in diameter. Frank Leslie's.
