PUPILS REMAINING OUT OF SCHOOL WITH OUT PERMISSION The school authorities have hail in the past few months con iderable difficulty to retain youngsters in school, and m many' instances the parents do riot exercise the proper authority over them o require the children to attend school, and as a result they are allowed to fall behind in their studies ' and it inflicts a lasting injury to the boy or girl that they later realize to their sorrow. The law in regard to the attendance of children' at school is very strict and there must be reason that is good and uflieient before the authorities can allow children to remain oui of school and fall back in their Indies. The coming year there will be a strict enforcement of this law and the children who h'ould be attending school will be looked after. To Be Married This Evening. This morning County Judge Allen J.

Last Saturday afternoon Ihe fire alarm was sounded about i o'clock, summoning the lire de partment to the north part of the city, where a small shed at the i-esidejicT' of John Iverson was in llanies. Before the arrival of the lire department several men from town who arrived at the scene of I the fire got busy and formed a bucket brigade, with the result that they held the fire down and practically had it out when the lire hoys turned on the hose and it only required a few minutes' work lo extinguish the flames. The loss to the structure will am'ount to hut liltle. There was considerable confusion created by the fact that the alarm as sounded was for the Fourth ward when it was located in the First ward, but there was liltle time lost, as the fire department had been informed by the telephone office of the exact location of the firfie and were only a short time in getting to the scene of the conflagration. With the high wind the fire, if it had gotten a good start, misht have done con siderable dama'ge to some of Ihe surrounding homes, but for tunately it was put out without delay. Bernard Middlemeyer of South Omaha came down Saturday evening and visited over Sunday here with friends, returning home on the late Missouri Pa cific train. s We are desirous of se- J curing the name of every $ -I person now living who traded with "C.
