The secretary reported that he had upieatvd lfore the board of county commissioners nnd obtained erniission for the wk i'-t v to use the Becond story of the court house for exhibits of pro dure, art, etc. For the r. ason that the society had no funds to pruvide stalls, sheds and other arrangements necessary for carinjf for show animals, it was decided to offer no premiums this year on live stock. 1). Bartlett, Eli Smith, J. Stimson and W, J. A. Itium were made a csmmittee to solicit, members. A membership ticket costs one dollar and entitles the holder to a voice and vote in all meet ings of the society during the year and admits him and his family to all exln bits made by the society during that time. To the exhibit made at the court house an admission fee of 10 cents will lie charged all persons over 13 years of age, except, holders of membership tick els and their families. E. E. Liwniore, L. J.

This is considered ttie most comprehensive nnd complete work published and is held in high es teem by the courts. Before he had fully recovered from his recent sickness W. B. W right was uttacked with inflammatory rheumatisn n the left arm and was compelled to take a lay-off and went to Hot Springs for treatment. It is hoped that he may lie benefitted. John Plunkett is in charge of his section. A destructive fire raged east of town during the past week. A large territory was burned over and much grass and timber destroyed. It also burned about seventy-five tons of hay belonging to H. T. Zerbe, together with a tent, camp outfit, bedding, nnd saddle. P. N. Kirkpatriek and John Finley lost ten tons of hay, two sickles and a sickle- grinder. It is supposed that the fire originated from sparks from a passing engine, and representatives of the com pany were looking the matter up the first of the week. . Another turn was taken in the court n the 04 matter last w eek and the sher iff was sent out with some papers on which to take take some cattle whose hides were adorned with that brand and in the possession of James 1L Cook to which Grace V. Snyder claimed an in terest. Shortly after the alien n started out County Treasurer Biehle heard of it and as there is a good sum of taxes due to the county on that famous brand of cattle he concluded that to fulfil his du ties had better get the cattle before the sheriff did. Accordingly he made out a distress warrant and started for Agate Springs, reaching there about fifteen minutes before the sheriff, and got enough cattle to pay, at least, a part of the taxes. Nothing further has been done in the suit. The report from various parts of the county are that feed is extremely scarce and the owners of stock in some instances are at their wits' end to know what to do in the matter. The season hoe been so dry that the grass is very short and thin on the range, so that to expect to take cattle through on that, with no feed for them la case deep snow will likely result in severe loss. Some will sell everything that is marketable and others will move to where they can obtain feed. It is said that along the Platte in BcotU Bluff county alfalfa hay can be bought for one dollar a ton with plenty of outside range for nothing, That being the case it would be good place to take stock to winter. IMI'ORTAXT TO SCHOOL TEACH ER AS D OFFICERS. Eia.iaatlMf Set Held According to Law aid Crrtlflcates Worthless. Teachers Oat of Lurk. An investigation of the records and facts connected with the oltice of coun ty superintendent of public instruction discloses the fact that some peculiar tactics have tieen resorted to in its con duct, which does not apuearlo reflect any credit on ttie official in charge of the interests of education in Sioux county. Early iu tlu season notice was given that all those who expected to teach in the public schools of Sioux county dur ing the ensuing school year would be ex pected to comply with the law in regard to attending inslitue. Tlie notice was officially given by W. H. Davis, Co. Supt. The institute began on June 22. 1H96, and closed July 3, lH'.IG, the last two days, July 2 and 8, 1H90, having been occupied in tlie examinations of appli cants for certificates to teach. No other examination was held during the mouth of July, 190. The law in regard to examinations is as follows: 47 KibC. 3. TYarhcr't examination. 1 The coauty mitierlnteiideiit sliull examine all person offering themselves an touchers for the public schools, and hIihII tilteu at tlie county neat upon the third Saturday In each month In the year for that purpose, anil at uch other times ami places us he may select, by giving not 1 than live days notice In some paper published In Ills coun ty, or. It there be no paper published III such county, then lie shall cause to be posted up n three publla places In the precinct where such examination Is to take place, not lets than live days prior to such examination, a notice of the time and place thereof. Any ceriltlcate granted at any other time or plce Ulan those specified above stiall be null and void. Anil any county superinten dent who shall violate the provisions of this section shall, upon conviction of the same, be fined Iu any sain uot lass than twenty- live dollars. According to the above law none of the certificates issued as the result of the examinations held at the close of the institute, on July 2 and 3, 1H90, are of any value whatever, for while County Superintendent Davis was very particu lar to notify those intending to teach that they must comply with the law, he failed to comply with the law himself and as a result of such failure, after they had beer, to the trouble and ex pense of attending the institue and standing the examination, he rewarded them with certificates worth no more to them than the pajr on which they were made out, as he utterly failed to give notice as required by law as to where and when the examinations were to take place. From the law and the facts in the case it would seem to be necessary for all teachers holding certificates issued on examination held at the time of in stitute to present themselves and take examination legally. The fact the Mr. Davis dated the certificates two weeks after the close of the institute closed is not sufficient to enable them to make a legal contract witti a school board and unless they have a legal contract they cannot collect pay for their work. The records of the county superinten dent show that in some other instances applicants have been granted certificates otherwise than according to the law quoted, and it will be observed that he is liable to a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars for violations of the law in regard to the examination of persons presenting themselves for teachers, and there is no doubt that he and his bonds men are liable on his official bond to any teacher who may have sustained any damage by reason of his failure to perform the duties of his office as pro vided by law and as he in his official oath swore he would do. The lot of the school teacher in Sioux county is not a very pleasant one at best and for them to be put to extra trouble and expense by what seems to be the gross careless ness or maladministration of the county superintendent is, indeed, putting a hardship upon them.
