A member of the school board in looking over the list of teachers, could see but three of the Platts mouth teachers enrolled and the fact almost made him sick. When such a golden opportunity is afforded for them to get abreast of the time is brought too their very door, and with comparatlevly no expense in attend Ing to see those who want to teach the Plattsmouth young idea 'to shoot' fosillze in this manner, is disheartlng to the school board and the parents of the children who call such excuse "teacher." The board will be Justi fied in discharging every teacher in tho city schools who have not en rolled for the Institute. The day of the wooden moleboard ' plow, and hand rako on the farm has departed, so has tho excart and the lumbar wagon as means of travel, and the teacher who will not brighten up on methods when opportunity affords, should be relegated to the era of ox cart and wooden plow. The museum is the proper place for fosils, and not the school room, and the Journal will not uphold the teacher who will not use her opportunities to get tho best there Is for the Plattsmouth youth. emplary citizen, and leaveB to mourn his death a wife and three children. His mother has been at his bedside for a month. Mr. Sullivan was about forty-six years of age at the time of his death. No arrangements have been made for the funeral, but the remains will arrive here tomorrow and tho interment will take place at the Horning cemetery. The Journal hopes to be able to give a more con cise obituary statement later. SUNDAY III CHURCH Rev. Gade Delivered a Strong Sermon at the Presbyterian Church. From Monday's Pally. The subject of the discourse deliv ered yesterday morning at the First Presbyterian church was one of deep interest to everyone being from "Home Memories.' Owing to the absence of Rev. Austin, pastor of the Methodist church, a number of his congregation were present to swell Rev. L. W. Cade's congregation. Rev. Gade read for his lesson that touching story of Naomi and Ruth, the incidents of which occurred something over thirteen centuries be fore the dawn of the christian era. The discourse was listened to with the closest attention, the speaker pre facing his sermon with a beautiful word picture of the home of Naomi In the little Judean town of Bethle ham, then depleted the blight of the famine which caused the husband to remove his family to the country of Moab, where there was plenty. The speaker stated that troubles never came singly, but came like the bil lows rolling over the unfortunate. In addition to having to leave the home of her childhood with her family, when in the far off land her husband died, then to add to her dis tress Naomi's two sons died, leaving her quite alone. But for the faith fulness of her daughter Ruth, she would have been without an earthly friend. Naomi grew homesick and longed for the scenes of her child hood, then the speaker detailed the homecoming, passing from the an ient scene to the experience of nearly all of us, picturing the home one leaves In his early years with the surrounding shade and fruit trees and the flowers that mother used to cul tivate , in the garden near the old homestead. For the ipeaTierT eoia- fashioned rose and the English violet were far sweeter, and awakened fon der memories than any cut flower or potted plant. From the old fash ioned homestead with its pleasant memories, the speaker pleaded for the old fashioned religion and urged on his listeners the Importance of prayer in the home, if a real spiri tual growth is to be made. He de proached the rush off to business of the head of the family neglecting the duties of the home life and rendering the home susceptible to ruin and de cay. Rev. Gade will preach a sermon next Sunday morning on "the Judg ment." Returns From eWst. Hilt Wescott and wife and daugh ter returned Saturday from a two week's vacation trip to Colorado.

While at Denver Mr. and Mrs. Wescott took the Moffet trip over the continental divide and reached the highest point to which any standard gunge railway goes. This point was at tho top of the div ide. Corona is the town, or rather the lunch stand which marks the peak. While on tho top of the ridge the party shoveled snow for a time, then boarding tho train and went down tho mountain on tho western slope to Broken Arrow. The trip is one of grand and beautiful scenery and Mr. and Mrs. Wescott enjoyed their trip and outing hugely. Study Human Nature. About as good a way to study hu man nature Is when you are driving on the public road. If a man is will ing to observe the law and tho court esies of the road, he will duly give bis share of it when meeting another and (.hows he Is willing to do the gen tlemanly thing about it. But when you meet one who takes every ad vantage of those he meets, and holds tho road for his own selfish self, of ten to the great discomfort of those he meets, or will not allow them to I UBs, we are almost sure to think of pork In connection with such drivers of teams.

Olson returned home Satur day evening from a month's trip In the interest of the Photographic Ma chine company, of which he Is pres ident and patentee. Ho loft home a month ago ' for Milwaukee, Wis., where he attended a convention of tho photographers of the United States, and had the pleasure of dem onstrating his machine to the many present, and who were perfectly de lighted with Its working, and with prospects of disposing of a consider able number in the near future. From the city of Milwaukee he visited numerous eastern cities, Including New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other cities of tho east, and on the return trip, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago. He met many of the great est photographers of these cities, all of whom spoke In the highest terms of hia Invention. In introducing the printing machine he disposed of quite a number, with iavorable prospects of disposing of more In the many cities he visited during his month's absence. Mr. Olson Bays many of the lead ing photographers of the east seem greatly impressed with his Invention, an dall speakof It as being one of the very best and most up to date photographic printing machines they had ever seen. Mr. Olson did not make his eastern trip for the purpose of disposing of machines outright, but simply to introduce them. Yet he took several orders while gone, and expects more to follow in a very short time. The machine Is evidently what every first class photographer needs, and in the introduction of the Olson Invention, it seems to have met a long-felt want in making pictures swift and in large quantltes. Mr. 01 son expects to endeavor to fill orders now as fast as received, and will probably In a very short time make a trip to other sections of the coun try In Its introduction. Th manufacture and Invention of these machines in .Plattsmouth is a big thing for our city, and when they are sent out in larger numbers It will prove a big advertisement for the town, as everyone will bear the Im print of Plattsmouth, Neb., thereon. Every citizen, who has the welfare of the city at heart should be proud that such an establishment Is located in our midst, and should assist Mr. Olson in his efforts to "Make Platts mouth Famous" in the manufacture of one of the greatest Inventions of the present age. Little Boy Injured. Saturday evening the little three year old son of William Gravett was knocked down while standing with his parents near Gering's drug store and quite severely injured, by the prank of reckless hoys.

Mr. Gravett took the child Into tho drug storo at once to cxamlno its Injuries, and seeing tho bruises and cut on its head Immediately carried it to a doctor where tho llttlo one had Its wounds dressed. At Inst ac counts tho llttlo fellow was doing as well as could bo expected under the circumstances. Will Empty Standplpe. From Monday's Pally. Mr. F. C. Weber, manager of the Plattsmouth Water company inform ed the Journal this' morning that he will empty the standplpe and drain the pipes tonight.
