fighting show for recovery, and the

CITY SCHOOLS
OPEN TODAY
LARGE ATTENDANCE FOR THE
FIRST DAY AND TEACHERS
BUSY ASSIGNING PLACES
From Monday's Dally.
The Board of Education, the
teaching force and the students, are
as tickled as the youngster on
Christmas morning with his stock
ings crammed to the brim, with the
new school building, and its super
iority over the conditions and equip
ment of the former building which
the schools of this city have out
grown. The teachers were busy
during the day in the assigning to
places to the pupils and getting
working order the minutia, of the
school routine. In the high school,
the task was somewhat more of a
task, on account of the different
branches which the students are to
take. In the grade it is promotion,
and a studying of the things requir
ed to pass and prepare for the com
ing years in the high school, and
the task of getting the work the
grades in motion is not so great.
While the esuipment is not entire
in place or all received still the
superiority over the former condi
tions is manifest in every portion of
the immense structure. The Na
tional colors were prominent in the
different rooms as they speak of
Patriotism and Lloyalty to country
as well as . arithmetic and spelling
or grammar and geography. By the
way all are watching geography
pretty closely -just now. They will
be working pretty well in a few
clays.

SEVERAL " YOUNG
IN GET 111 BAD
From Tuesdays Daily.
During the past winter and this
spring there has been quite a num
ber of stores broken into, and more
or less goods and cash taken there
from, and the Chief of Police has
been in possession of sufficient evi
dence in the matter to lay suspicion
on some cf our home young men.
After the first job was completed,
Chief Barclay camped on the trail,
and has done considerable work on
the same, but was unable to gain
sutlicientevidence to lead to an ar
rest up to a few days ago. when a
similar job was done in Nebraska
City. There were some seven or
eight mere lads about the town that
have been implicated in the matter,
four of whom were caught in this
city, one being caught in another
county, and one in the service of the
U. S. at this time, the remaining
four were arraigned today before
District Judge Begley. for a hearing.
all of whom plead guilty to the var
ious charges, and were parolled and
.vill be in the future absolutely un
der the care of County Attorney,
Cole, whose duty it will be to en
force the District Judge's instruct
ions, which are that so far as they
ire concerned, the curfew law must
be enforced to the letter, these young
men must star away from all pool
halls, and be at home after nine
o'clock at night unless they have a
written leave on some errand of
duty from the county attorney. They
must also keep up in every branch
of their studies. at school, and keep
in the straight and narrow path ai
all times and under all circum
stances. By following these instruc
tions District Judge Begley has sus
pended sentence.
Some months ago the Journal was
forced to adopt a rule that all mat
ters that demanded the attention cf
the police officers and the courts of
cur county and state, to print the
news just as we learned it from the
finding of these courts, but in this
case this rule must be broken, for
the sake of the aching hearts of the
poor mothers of these mere lads, just
finishing their school years in this
city. We have known most of them
all their lives, ind their mothers too,
and we know just how hard most of
them have worked with these young
men. teaching them the right and
wrong side of- life, but in this one
case with no avail, and we have
deemed it best not to mention the
names of these young men with the
but one hope and desire in view that
we may be of some assistance to the
sorrow stricken parents, and espec
ially the heartbroken mothers con
cerned in matter, toward placing the
boys on the right, road for the fu
ture. When Chief of Police Barclay
commenced on the case, he really
expected to find more experienced
hands connected with the whole af
fair. We believe that the boys are truly
sorry for all that they have done,
and we believe that from now on
their ideals will lead them in a dif
ferent channel, which the Journal
hopes for them for the future.
One other condition handed down
by the court was that all damages
brought about by them including all
property taken be restored to the
owners. To all of which the jroung
men have consented, and we believe
they will make good.
