Dr. Livingston declining to serve any longer as chairman of the committee, it became neces sary to choose another. Several names were placed before the con vention, and almost as fast as nomiualed declined, until declin ing became so monotonous that, upon motion of Col. Bates, W. D. Wheeler was forced lo serve by a unanimous vote of the conven tion. The county was well represent ed, all the precincts answering the call except Salt Creek, Weep ing Water city and Weeping Wa ter precinct. No doubt the heavy rain the night previous prevented many from coming. But never theless, the convention was one of the largest ever held, which de noted that the democrats were enthusiastic and that Cass county was in line to give a good report fof Wilson and Marshall, John H.

Miss Mary Foster, county superintendent of public instruc tion, has just had printed at the Journal job rooms a neat little booklet containing a list of in structors, with cuts of the in dividuals, a number of announce ments and the program, both for entertainment and institute work. A copy of this booklet has been mailed to ever teacher in the county, as it contains all of the information about which the teacher is apt. to inquire. In looking over the booklet we have come to the conclusion that I he present institute will surpass in interest and importance the work done at any previous one. Among the names of the in structors we note that of Super intendent A. II. Waterhouse of Fremont, one of (he leading educators oft he slate, lie will in slruct in the art of teaching writing and arithmetic and will conduct the round table talks to beginners and also lo experienced teachers. Mr. Waterhouse has been engaged in school work in Nebraska for the past twenty-five years, and is very jxipular in Cass county, having been identified with the Weeping Water public schools as superintendent as long ago as that. He has met with the best of success and is one of the finest of disciplinarians. He has always kept in the forefront on the question of methods, and as an educator there js none better in the state. Since leaving Ihe Weeping Water school he has been principal of the Omaha High school, Ihe Lincoln High school and superintendent of the Grand Island and Fremont schools. Cass county teachers are fortunate in having an opportunity lo draw in spiration from jso able an educator. vii.I-Xr. EAGLE. Beacon. .?H -M-H- II. A.

The farmers around Eagle are about the happiest lot of men that we have seen for many a day. The wheal crop, which everyone thought would lie very short, has gone far above expectations, mak ing from 20 to 30 bushels to the acre. All this, coupled wilh the price they have received for it, gives them reasons to be happy. And say, the prospect for a bump er corn crop is good.

SUNDAYS BAL L u Boosters Win by Score of 6 to 2 Visitors a Strong Team, but Not Strong Enough. One of the good games of the base ball season was pulled off on the Plattsmoulh diamond yester day afternoon, at which time the Boosters met the Baum Iron ag gregation of Omaha. The visiting team, as usual, came to bat lir.-t, in which inning they made one run ami another in the second, while at the same stage of the game the boosters received the double 00. The game continued with the latter results for both teams up to (lie eighth 'inning, when the home team placed two men on bases and that terrible Indian pitcher came to bat and lined out a good two-bagger and both men came home. At this time the visiting team went up in Ihe air and several times simply threw Ihe ball away ami the home team passed four men over the home plate with ease. Only Ihe two first runs were well earned by the home team, the balance could be credited to errors. The game closed with the score (5 to Z. Should the visiting team have played ball in the fatal eighth in ning we probably would have seen another good one similar to that of July Fourth. The Boosters played good ball for Ihe entire nine innings, with II xceplion of being just a trifle wild in the fore pail of the game. McKaig was up to his usual high standard and Mann was behind Ihe bat all the lime and was playing the game, loo. Their sup port was good and every man dis played evidence of considerable practice work, especially at the slick, their batting average being greatly on the increase. The Boosters are greatly strengthened also by the addition of Conners and Sunders, who played their llrst game yesterday and were onto the job nil Ihe time. In addition to Conners being a good twirler he is n ball player any place and all the time. The Boosters are now in excellent con dition to meet most of the good ones. Look for another good one next Sunday. A."M. Nason, farming near Ca naan, Me., was badly crippled with sialic rheumatism due he says to uric acid in his blood.

The little fellow was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, in Omaha, where it was expected that he would undergo an opera tion this morning. The irritation caused by Ihe foreign substance in the lung caused him to cough incessently. The physician thought the condition of the boy ipiite serious and the result of-an operation is quite uncertain and also a serious matter.
