FEATURE OF GREAT INTEREST TO RURAL SCHOOLS NEXT WEEK 'ALBERT GODWIN GETS A DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE One of the features of the teachers' institute to meet in this city next week that will be of especial interest to the rural schools and patrons will be Prof. George W. Brown, newly elected head of the department of rural educa tion of the state normal school at Peru. Prof. Brown will take up rural sociology and allied subjects and these' v.-ill be of the greatest importance to the common, schools of the country. As county superintendent of schools of Kdjrar county, 111., he was successful in acquiring a national-wide reputa tion for bringing his schools to a high standard of efficiency. The members of the county school board as well as the teachers should make it a point to hear the lectures of Prof. Brown on Kural Sociology. He will talk each iifternovn at the period beginning at l!:."0 and this should be largely at tended. County Superintendent Miss Mar q'jardt is also desirous of having the teachers desiring boarding places to notify her at once as the demand will be very great during the week. INFORMATION BUREAU AND , CHECK STAND FOR VISITORS For the convenience of the visitors to the city during the Home Coming week there will be. an information bureau, as well as check stand main tained at the barber shop of Jesse Per ry on Main street between Sixth and Seventh streets. Here the visitors can secure information as to the features t.f the Home Coming and also for the sum of l'V have their packages checked and cared for in the proper manner aiul with the assurance that they will be in the most reliable hanJs ar.d safe from loss. This will be a feature that will be very much appre ciated by everyone who comes here to attend the carnival as well as the Home Coming days. The small fee will be used to pay for the help that is necessary to look after the proper handling of the check stand. Mrs. Henry J. Miller of Alvo is in tl.efcity, called here by the .serious condition of her sister, Mrs. John "II. Becker, whose recovery is .considered erv doubtful. ;ol music and a good time is as sured at the social dance which the K. S. Turner Girls will hold at the K. S. hall on next Saturday evening, Auirust 26th. Everybody invited. rim' u Loo After etaiis It's just as necessary to be careful about shirts, neckties and socks as a suit or a top coat. We buy our stock of haber dashery with one big idea in mind, to offer the public a wide variety of high class merchan dise at the most reasonable prices possible. Moreover, we don't stop at this. With us a customer is a customer, whether he wants a pair of socks or a twenty-five dollar suit. And all our cus tomers are treated alike. Don't overlook the little things they help to make the big ones. - c7r- lb Manhattan Shirts Car hart Overaslls Stetson Hats Hansen .Gloves From "Wednesday's Daily. Yesterday afternoon Albert Godwin, who has been officiating as the motor cycle cop for the city, was given a dose of his own medicine when Chief of Police Barclay pulled him for ex ceeding the speed limit while riding on Vine street and while he was not in the discharge of his duties, but merely riding for his own amusement. The young , man was located by the chief out on Chicago avenue and brought in for trial before Judge Archer, who after learning the facts in the case fined him $10 and ctsts, which he paid and was then released from the custody of the officers. This is another example of the fair-minded way in which . the speeding question is handled in this city, and the authori ties are seeing that everyone who violates the law is compelled to toe the mark and answer if they are guilty. SILAS LONG VISIT ING HERE FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA From "Wednesday' Dally.

MR.1(AUBLE, A RES IDENT OF PLATTS MOUTH SINCE 1854 From Wednesdays Dally. One of the early pioneers of Ne braska,., is Frank N. Kauble. He crossed the Missouri river at Nebraska City, where he- located in 1853. He came to Plattsmouth in 1854, crossing the river in a flat boat. The Omaha and Pawnee tribes of Indians were still here. But the white people had commenced to settle in the country. In the year 1S5G, Mr. Kauble located in Rock Bluffs. At that time it was a thriving river town, and was looked upon as the future county seat of Cass county, and where the Burlington railroad would cross the river. There was a steam ferry boat plying the river, run by James Spratlin, Sam Latta being the engineer. Steamboats were loading and unloading, and much grain and meat was shipped down the river from Rock Bluffs, Mr. Kauble having seen as many as five steam boats at the landing at one time. At this time Rock Bluffs was larger than Plattsmouth. The leading merchants were Eithel and Doom and L. R. Box ley; later on, Johnson and Spratlin. George L. Seybold ran a drug store. Mr." Kauble had the usual experiences of the early pioneer. Mr. Kauble is one of the many old residents of this locality who will be able to take part in the "Home Com ing'' during the coming week and add his store of experiences of pioneer days to the many stories of early days that will be made the order of the day on Friday, September 1. There are a great many of the oldest residents of the state here in Cass county and they will all be present if possible on this notable occasion.

Perhaps the best system of living is to take a little of everything not too little or-yet too much omit ting all those foods which experience has shown to be harmful.
