Had a good rain on Wednesday afU- noon, it tiooied tlie atmoaphera and lielV ed grow lag crops, since llieo have had ANDREWS HAPPENINGS. A new bell measuring 24 inches in diameter at the bottom, lias been ordered for the Andrews school building. To say the least of it this is an indication of progressiveness. It is said that the Western Union Telegraph Company has orderded tlie material for tin construction o( a tele phone line from Harrison to Andrews and extending thence to Cooks ranch and the country south. The line will be of great convienence to sUickuieu and others in this secliou. "Ben" Butler, a gentleman of African descent but favorably known in this section of Sioux County for all lout, was iu Andrews Saturday evening. The Andrews school directors have not as yet secured the serveces of a teacher. Tins item is iuleuded fur Uie benefit Of some young and handsome school mar' a) who would like to become a resident of the prettiest little hamlet iu all this country. K. C. Madsen is launching out in the I o u I try business. He is ."hogging tbe flattering unction to his soul" that both fame and fortune will some day crown Ins effort in this direction. Provided of course, that Rjaduiater Hasuourg doesn't chop off his 'official head before his plans are matured aud this is not like iy, since he is attentive to the duties of Ins position as coalheaver. And this remindes your scribe, that since the compleliou of this division of the Elkhorn road no roaduiastar and there lias been six Of iheiu has enjoyed the good will and esteem of those hold ug positions under liiiu to a greater ex nent titan J. . Hasuourg, the present encumbent. Since the enactment of the new law intended fer tlie protection of lili aud all otuer kiuds of gume, tislung parlies have not been so numerous iu this "neck of the woods". Lovers of the sport are a little wary, since the penality of a viol ation of the law might mean a line of $50. or a term of thirty days in the county jail. There nothing very al lunug aooulthat. Continued showers make life beare able in this vicinity during the present healed term. Anollier pleasing result is the splendid grass winch abounds. Cattle are sleek and lat aud will be in niagnillcenl trim when the "Cold aud chilly winds of November" set in. In the person of little Julia Madsen, aged 11 years a residentof Andrews there is the making of anotlier Jennie Liud. The child ha a really marvelous voice, full of strength, sweetness, and melody. Many a man of wealth would give tbou aaods of dollar could bis own little daughter be gifted as is tins poor little obscure country girl. Mrs, Basset, residing east of Andrews, and Mrs. Weir of Cluulroa were gueste of Mrs. Chris ChrmUinsen Thursday. Lust Thursday morning, at a point about two miles west of Andrews, nt the north opening of a small culvert underneath tbe Elkhorn railroad, section foreman Chris Cbristensen and James Wilcox aocidently discovered the abode of a nighty family of that most veoim ous of reptiles, the rattlesnake. 1m medially a "light to the death" was in augurated, and after the "din of battle" had ceased a careful count of the dead revealed seventy three rattlers, ranging in sixe from 8 inches to 44 feet. From the tail of tlie largest snake Mr. C. se cured lo rattles, which, according I v to scientiliO authority, would indicate tliat tlie reptile was in its 17th year. It measured arouud toe thickest part of its body i inches, and put up a light that Umpired Uie admiration of the attacking forces. A visit to the seen of tlie slaughter the next day revealed the fact that the last member of this snake tribe had not been killed, but to exterminate them would require more time than busy section men have to devote to such sport besides, considerable hard work in removing and rebuilding a port ion ut lite culvert would be necessary. . Free Laoce. Tlis first, session of the Teacher's Insti t ute was Iwlrt t the school building at nw oVIK,k Monday, Rev. Warden lend the devotinal exercises and the sinking was assisted by the church organ, which was kindly loaned to the teachers for use during Institute. Mis Lizzie Parsons is organist. The Institute is is chiirpr of Prol Perry Piiwancs and his hrrstlirr W. E. Purvi- ance. Tbe former has lor several years had -the Institute in charge and is well ande'favorHlilv knowo to nil the teachers I (P5 of Sioux County. Changes were made in the program so that as few conflict ions as possible ex isted. The periods in the farvnoon were changed from one hour to foiirty live minutes. Eight of those enrolled were pupsls in the Harrison wnool last year and we ex pect the teacliers from among them to make a success of their work and that they will he a credit to the school and the Country. Several former pupils are also enrolled and they have already given good evidence as to their ability as teacher Some of those enrolled will not tench the coming year but will go to school and will teach tit some future date. There seems to be a marked difference between teachers wbo refuse to go to Institute during their years of service and Ihoso whe begin to attend before they are old enough to teach in order that they may become better prepared for their work. The results are sure to be ditferent in the end. Kven tne best qualified 'men in our Universatv find it necessary to spend their vacations largely in study. Prof. Hyde, formerly of the Lincoln Normal, and Principal of tho schools of Ulysses for the corning school year, gave an interesting talk on the subject of or Urography after the opeuiug exercises Tuesday morning. The following enrolled Monday. Uattie O'Conner, Maggie Jordan, Lizzie Parsons, May Lewis, Mrs. Ella L. Hale Gracie Wolff, Geo. Williams, Geo. Myers Alexander Johnson, John liroky.

Meyers Dorotha Patterson, Edith Burke, Nellie Scott, Muble Tliayer, Elma Burson, Mrs. Thornton, Iv:t Spease, Mary Akurs, Sarah Wisdom, ABssie Ponierby, uod Bertha Golden. There wtre two more to register Tues day, Anna and Nora Neece from Runn ing Water. Supt. Fowler and several others were down Monroe Canyon to see the sights. Mr. Fowler was pleased and surprised at tlie scenery of this part of the state. He spoke to the teachers of the County twice and bom times was given careful attention. Uik talks were helpful and we have uo doubts that both teachers and patrons present , will make use of tlie points he gave. Several patrons were present in the afternoon to hear Mr. Fowler and as many us can, shou ld call for a short lime at least during the sessions devote ot the regular work of the Institute. Wednesday all classes were nicely started and doing irood work. It is noticeable that the common branches are wore ttltructive tliaa the higher ones and this is us it should be for although it is well to have Uie higher studies the com mon branches are the ones which most will teach and they are of great import ance. I he majority of school children will go ne higher and to those who will, nothing will be so helpful in their school and busiuess life tliat follows, as a thorough k how ledge of tbe common brandies. Uncle Sam's School Songs are already quite popular wiUi the teachers and will no dou bt be used in many schools Uirough out the County tbe coming year. Supt. Burke and the other instructors are eodevonng to secure clear compre hensive recitations from the teachers and all will try to make this a point Uie coming year in their schools. Hupt. Fowler thinks this and clear firm Read ing are especially essential in school work. Fowler gave a little of Ins lime to the discussion of school laws and especially lie new ones. These were fully explan ed and a reference made to a phaniplet which he has prepared containing a ' digest of these new laws. He urg-d teachers to full understand the school laws and to be careful always about leaving a valid contract and certificate, lie closed bis remarks with an express ion of pleasure with being able to meet with them and by paying a glowing tribute lo their calling and ihe good they ere able to accomplish.

Fowler spoke first of Uie surroundings and property of a school district and Uie effect which the proper or improper care of this property had on Uie school children. The proper attitude said Supt.
