ber f persons crossing from the
Iowa territory to ibis city, and
they all left a considerable
amount of money in the city,
which will aid the business men
and the city in general. The
days wilt become m'ore popular

be made the means of bringing

who have no. heretofore made
this city their trading point, and
by careful effort and work on the
pari of the business men a last
ing and permanent trade can be
built up on the east side of the
river, as this city is the natural
trading point for the western
part of Mills connty and the
farmers of that localilv will be
glad of Ihe opportunity to come
here to trade, and it is up to the
business interests of the city to
see that they are given this op
portunity. Another free day will
be given on next Saturday, and

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.

dillYrent schools of the country.
All the representatives of the

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.
