THE TEACHER'S INSTITUTE
A Glowing Success in Every Particular
and Largely Attended.
The Cass C mi lit y 1 list it ute losed itsj
annual session at Weeping Water last
I riday evening' will) a lecture on "Mu
sical Tits and Misfits," ly the noted
)hin orati.r and entertainer, Spillman
Biggs. Mr. Biggs was secured by
County Superintendent Wortman last
winter after hearing liiin under the
auspices of the I'lattsinouth Lecture
Course.
Miss Hates of I'lattsmouth. Mrs. Day
of Weeping Water and the Misses Os
tenburg of Mead furnished Friday
evening's music, climaxed by the su
perb discourse of Mr. Biggs, wiio said
it was easy to begin a musical lecture
after such sweet music.
A large audience greeted all the lec
turers, which included the state su
perintendent, Hon. J. L. McBrien. and
Prof W. M. Davidson, city superinten
dent of the Omaha schools.
Miscellaneous addresses were made
at different times during the week by
Prof. Taylor of the Weeping Water
academy. Bev. I. Hanford, Bev. Smith
and Superintendent C. S. Wortman
Several prominent educators and va
rious book men of the state appeared
before the body. Everything done and
said by everybody was generally on
joyed.
The instructors, Profs. House. Sher
man and Miss Dolph were fully as
much favorites as they were last year
The enrollment, the largest in years
was one hundred and forty. The in
tense interest, the inspiring speeches,
the enthusiasm from beginning toend,
and the ability and tact, with which
Superintendent Wortman conducted
it all contributed to make it a most
successful institute.
The wholesome good humor and
jesting led by the state superinten
dent and participated in by Messrs
Wortman, Rouse, and Sherman, seem
ed to oe at all times appreciated as
the right thing at the right time.
"Show Me the Hay Hack Home was
well rendered by Miss Dolph at the
last moment, after which County Su
perintendent Wortman spoke words of
appreciation of the results of the work
and littiniilv alluded to all who had
contributed and the good spirit behind
the institute as a whole. lie expressed
himself as better satisfied with the
work accomplished by the teachers as
a whole and individually than at any
of his previous institutes.
Prof. Gaines of Louisville read reso
lutions which were received with ap
plause, commending the ability and
strict impartiality of the county su
perintendent, the kind words of ad
monition of the lecturers, the strength
and vigor of Profs. House and Sher
man and other instructors. Also
thanking the musicians and ladies of
Weeping Water for opening up their
homes, and to all others who had in
any way been of service in making the
session a success.
Will Build on Elevator.
The Mauley Co-operative Grain as
sociation, it is reported, will build an
elevator before the corn crop begins to
move. It is expected to raise a cash
fund of at least 2,000, and all but a
small portion has been subscribed. A
canvas is being made of the members,
and all seem to be in favor of the pro
ject. It is believed there will not be
much trouble in securing a site, or
having the railroad company build a
track to the elevator. Weeping: Wa

State Taxes are Higher.
Secretary Georg D. Hennett of the
state board of equalization is prepar
ing the cert iticates containing the new
levy to lie sent to each county. The
total assessed valuation of the state is
:;, H'..:;i'i, an increase of :i.ti4',ooi;
over that of last year year. In
lie fore the new revenue law was passed
the total assessed valuation was ls.
4.7s, :J70. The counties were charged
last year with the collection of l,7;,s
;7.7 state taxes, the levy being six
mills. This year with a seven-mill
levy they will be charged with 2,i:;o,
'.).;.7. In is!):; t he total tax to be col
lected was l,52:$,:$li. One ndll of the
tax this year must be used for paying
the state debt, which consists mostly
of state warrants which the state
holds as purchaser.
The people of the state will be un
able to tell whether their taxes are
higher tins year than last until the
county board mako the local levy. It
is believed that local taxes will be
lower in many counties for the reason
that little care was taken last year in
determining the proper amount to de
fray expenses. Lincoln Journal.
Sixtieth Anniversary.
On Sunday, J uly 30lh, J. P. House,
one of the most estimable citizens in
Cass county, celebrated his noth anni
versary, but it was entirely a surprise
to him the manner in which the event
was celebrated. The party was slyly
instituted by the children and entirely
unknown not only to Mr. House but
also to Mrs. House. The guests all
met at the house of a near-by neigh
bor, Harry Appleman, and then went
down to Mr. House's in a body, ;o
strong. Mr. House happened to lie
out in the field at the time of the
guests arrival and did not get back
until all had assembled in the house,
which made the surprise all the more
complete. Dainty refreshments of ice
cream and cake were served in the
course of the evening after which Mr.
House was presented with a tine rock
ing chair by his many friends present,
the presentation speech being made
by Mr. (I. P. Forman. Mr. House
made a very appropriate reply. The
guests all departed at a late hour
wishing Mr. House many more such
pleasant birthdays and a long life.
The Journal joins the friends of Mr.
House in wishing him the return of
many more such happy events, and
in the language of Hip Van Winkle,
"Here's to your good health, your
family's good health and may you live
long and prosper."
Law Shoald Be Changed.
The manner of distributing the
state school money should be changed.
Hy the present system each district
receives a certain sum for each person
of school age in the district. Half of
the school money is distributed in this
manner. There should be some stipu
lation in the law which would make
the distribution according to school at
tendance, and not according to school
population. This would induce the
school officers to try to get all the
children of school age enrolled in the
schools. It would also take away from
the large cities the advantage they en
joy by being able to falsify their cen
sus reports, a thing which country
districts cannot do.
About Right.
An exchange that knows says it nev
er pays to compliment tne numan
race. The fellow you run your legs off
for and puff up with a column article
will be the first one to forget you.
But if you whoop it into him, and he
kicks, you can take it back the next
week and make it worse, but a flat
compliment is so much space thrown
away. People who read it fancy it is
paid for and the person who receives
it is never satisfied, but thinks that
the praise ought to have been laid on
thicker, so that the editor satisfies no
one, whereas, if he proas the animals,
and stirs them up, at least one-half
the readers chuckle and grin and say:
"Give it to 'em again, it ain't half
enough." Such is the perversity of
poor human nature, and it never pays
to "waste your sweetness on the des
ert air."
Overcome While in TanK.
A special from Louisville, under
date of July 6, says: "William Ander
son, who is employed in the Turling
ton yards here to pump water into the
big tank, came near being killed by es
caping gas from a small gasoline en
gine, which is about twenty-live feet
under ground, and used to pump the
water. He had left the engine for a
short time and when he returned and
w ent into the well he w as overcome by
the gas and was unable to return up
the ladder. Several attempts were j
made before a rope could be placed
around his body. When taken out he j
was almost dead but with medical aid
he recovered.'"

MYSTERIOUS
MANEUVERS
Maurauders Enc'eator to Poison Stock by
Placing Strychnine in Wa'er Trojgh.
A MOST INHUMAN OFFENSE
Such Dastardly People Should Not Be Al
lowed to Live in a Civilized Community.
THE CULPRITS SHOULD BE APPREHENDED
When Fred Muster led his horses to
the watering trough at f o'clock Mon
day morning he found the wateiflis
white as milk. Jn the water he found
a white half-diluted substance which
he . took out and saved for analysis.
The opinion of neighbors was that the
substance in the trough was strych
nine.
Later in the day all the family weic
away from the house for about half an
hour. When they returned an old
gate and a spade were resting against
the hitchen door. Last evening two
large pieces of meat were found on the
platform of the well. This meat had
also been apparently poisoned and left
there for some of the animals to find.
The Musters live in the northwest
suburbs of the city, where they farm a
place of some fifty acres.
rnese strange ana mysterious oc
curences have been going on about
the place for some time. Last Satur
day evening Mr. Muster had gone to
town. Mrs. Muster was in the yard
milking at about 8::;o. Suddenly a
man's form shot past her and disap
peared in the darkness. Mrs. Muster
ran to the house, where she locked
herself in until her husband's return
at about 10:.'i). She then Jtold him of
it. He secured a revolver and while
Mrs. Muster finished milking the cow
he made an investigation of the barn
and premises.
As he approached a mowing machine
which was standing just across the
road a man jumped from the machine,
crept under the fence and started to
run toward the neighboring farm
house of l'eter Hansen. He became
entangled in some wire and Mr. Muster
fired five shots at him none of which
took efTect so far as is know n. The
shots were heard by Mr. Hansen but
no trace of the mysterious prowler
could be found.
Mrs. Muster is so frightened that
she refuses to leave the house after
twilight. Neither she nor Mr. Muster
can think of anyone who might have
anything against them that could
prompt him to suchjdesperate acts.
They claim to have seen two men
about the place but their movements
have been so stealthly. so quick, so
ghost like that absolutely no trace or
clue can be found.
Farewell Party.
Mrs. Fred Warren entertained a
number of young ladies Saturday
evening in honor of her sister, Miss
Irene Blauvelt. Miss Irene expects to
leave for her home at Endicott, Neb.,
Tuesday. She has been visiting in
Plattsmouth for the past six weeks.
Various games were played during the
evening and at a late hour the 3'oung
ladies partook of the delicious refresh
ments which were served by Miss
Irene Hlauvelt.
Among thos present were: Misses
Irene Blauvelt, of Endicott, Neb.:
Mildred and Athol McElroy, Josie
and Agnes Swartz, Stella Ostenburg,
of Mead, NeK; Ethel Jones, May
Swartz, Lena and Sophia Sieckowski
and Anna LibersTial.
To Be Married in September.
The many friends of the contracting
parties will no doubt be pleased to
learn that Mr. Charles Weckbach,
cashier of a Crete, (Neb. )J bank and
Miss Ella Clark, now living with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Asher Clark, of
Los Angeles, Cal.. will be united in
the holy bonds of matrimony about
the middle of September. The con
tracting parties are well known here
this being the former home of both.
Enthusiastic Institute.
A special from Weeping Water to
the Omaha Bee says:
'County .Superintendent Wortman
closed the most enthusiastic institute
in years with a lecture by Spillrnan
Biggs of Ohio on "Musical Fits and
Misfits." The regular lecture feature
of the session almost became a Chau
tauqua in minature. Hon. J. L. Mc
Brien, Prof. W. M. Davidson of Oma
ha, I. S. Hanford, Prof. Taylor, Bev.
Mr. Smith and Superintendent Wort
man gave addresses and talks highly
appreciated. Profs. E. B. Sherman,
E. L. Rouse and Miss Dolph were the
instructors."
