Botft'lT. Miss Susie Tupper and Miss Ona M. Hellyer and J. M. Stimson, teachers of the Harrison school, took their departure from Harrison on last Monday evening. Miss Tuppergoes to bier home at Osmond Nebr. and Miss Hellyer will attend the Normal at Wayne, and Mr. Stimson goes to Lincoln. There was a large crowd at the station to bid them farewell, and we know from the many kind wishes from both patrons and pupils that the lady teachers especially have many friends that will look for their return with pleasure, and from the sad expression on two of our young men's faces there must have been a captivation of hearts as well as kindly feelings. We feel sorry for the boys but sympathy don't count for much in this case, so we will sunirest that there is a brighter day coming by and by Our sporting Editor accompanied them as tar as Andrews and reports that no tears were shed up to that time and they were standing the ordeal heroically. School was out last Friday, and the scholars and teachers talked of having a picnic for the last two weeks, hut the teachers of the primary and intermediate rooms decidod not to have any, and so they taught school on that day; but the scholars and teacher of the grammar department decided to picnic, and the young ladies fllld their baskets with lunches, and Friday morning the young men got teams and went around and gathered up the ladies and baskets and took tin m to Monroe canyon. After they arrived at their stopping place they all ban to scatter and haunt ed the canyon high and low, but they all managed to get together about 12:00 o'clock to see what the young ladies had filled their baskets with. None of of all kinds, of the best. After dinner a crowd started for the "devilsden", which iB situated alKiut two miles west of the canyon, and some of them got there and some diden't. They all roamed until they became so tired they had to return to town before they seen all of the canyon, but probably they . will have another picnic and view the remainder. Charles A Christian died at the home of his father near Kirtley, Wyo. on May 181903. Charlie was a bright young man, and was loved and respected by all that knew turn. His death is not only a siul loss to the father and family, but to the slate of Wyoming. Rev. L W. Hor ton' held the funeinl strvices at the Woodmen Hall which wascrowded, after which the body was laid awav to rest, li the Pleasant Ridge cemetery. His many friends of Manville. Wyo. w here he was teaching school until his strength gave way, remembered him by their pitsence at his funeral, and the lurnisliing of u beautiful wreath. . There were many I ror.i Lusk, '-.nd it is said every family for miles attended the funeral, that they might pay thoir lust tribute of respect to this once bright and talented young man. There will I vacant chair in the home as well as the loss of toe welcome voice, but we cm bless God that there Is one more added U) the heavenly throng, und when the lime comes fo? that meeting to part no more may father, mother, brothers, and sisters all be found as one in that heaven ly host siiigmg praises to His hallowed name. The Phkss Jot'ltNAt. ex tends sympathies to the bereaveil parents and sorrow ing family, relalivt-s and friends. His obituary will apprar next week. To the Teachers and Prospective Teachers of Sioux County. I urge upon every teacher and pro spective teacher of Sioux county to at tend the Alliance Junior Normal if yoo possibly can. Such an opportunity to secure a Normal training so near home has never lM-en oll'ered to you before. Every teacher needs a Normal training if they wish lo make a successful teacher, anil you should take advantage of this opportunity. Perhaps some will have to make a sacrifice if they attend, but everyone should lie willing to do this when a Normal training is offered so near home. 1 therefore urge every teacher and prospective teacher to take advuul.igu of this gragd opportunity and not let it slip by. Every teacher of this county who at tends the entire term and who do oml work will lie excused from examination for a county'certillcate in every branch with a grade of wr cent or above, and in addition thereto a credit of 5 r cent will lie given on gennral average to every teacher who attends the full term 1 ask tlie heartv co-operation ol every teacher ill the county. ' I have received a ntimb'-r of Bulletins announcing the Normal nchool. If you do not receive one pleas call ot this office and get supplied. Please let ma IwMtr from you at onoa relative to your plan. CommaO PAMom, Co, Supt, BREEZE FROM CENTRAL CITY We regret very much indeed to learn of the serious illness of our young friend Charlie Christian. One so young ars. gifted has so much to look forward to in life that is attractive and useful, but the great hereafter needs the young and gift ed also, or why do they so often go when e feel they are needed here oh so much Life and death is a mystery to us all More rain, more rest. The early plant ingot corn is coming up. On account of so much cool weather and rains some feared the early corn would rot. F. W. is not done planting yet, as the ground Has been too wet to work. Our straw berry bed is a tine sight now. If it fruits as well as it has blossomed, my how eur backs will ache before they are all gath ered. The peach trees seemed to stand the freeze pretty well. The cottonwood are very slow about putting out new leaves. That storm was po general fruit will be scarce this year unless the Pacific states do very well. My brothers in Kansas report all fruit killed, but part of the apples. Glad to hear that Rev, Zimmerman is goinir to look after the valley people aizain this summer, as we have repeated ly heard what good satisfaction he gave last year. The Press-Journal seems to he develop ing a pretty wittv and lively school of correspondents through the country, and we are much interested in them all. Zekiel and M, A. C. are provoking one another to good works, and we mav ex pect the Wyoming items to continue as heretofore. A wise decision Z"kiel to iitay away from town and breathe pure air nnd keep away from city temptations. Central Citv May 18, Cuo.

FENCES MUST FALL. NO FURTHER. DELAY IN REMOVAL TO BE TOLERATED. IHTCIiqjCK'SMTxD MADE UP- SECRETARY DEMANDS IMMEDI ATE COMPLAINT. Application for Extension Until July Not Heeded, a.nd Prosecutions to follow If Orders Are Ignored. WASHINGTON, May 13-Speciil.) Final and official notice has tieen served upon the cattle oners uf the west and southwest that there must be no further delay in compliance with tlie orders of the secretary of the interior for the re moval of unlawful fences from the pub lic ranges. Recently the cattlemen have been organizing in Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico and other states in which there are large areas of public lands and making an effort to secure a postpone ment of the operation of the department's fence-removing order. Petitions have been coming to the interior department asking that the time for the removal of the fences he extended to July 1. It is' claimed that the herds will he removed at that time and that it will be a source of great loss and expense to the cattle owner to comply with the order before that dale. This same request was made a year ago and granted by the president and Mr, Hitchcock, secretary of the m torior. The cattlemen promised to re move their fences immediately after July 1. Instead of doing so they waited until congress met and then spent the winter i-i an effort to secure the passage of a grazing and leasing bill that did not meet the approval of the otlicials of the inter ior department. Ollicials of the depart ment hehexe that the same dilatory tactics are to be employed again by the cattlemen. Mr. Hitchcock has notified the different agents of the department that prompt reports are expected furnishing details of all violations of the law in connection with the maintenance of these unlawful fences. No attention will be paid to pro tests or petitions iigainstthe enforcement ol the order, If the I cures are not promptly removed the courts will be ill- yoked to authorize the removal of them by the federal authorities at the expense of the cattlemen. Kan Cattleman Aggreaalve.

The letlers were all from farmers and .small ranchmen who state that the big cattle owners have recently been fencing in the streams and watering places in all f the northwestern part of the state and Hre rel using to allow the farmers and owners of small ranches to keeptheit stock on the public ranches. Roads to the creeks that were formally kept open have now beeu fenced in and no one is allowed to cross the lands or get, uccess to the water in any part of that section. One writer reports that the farmers and owners of small ranches are becoming aroused over the matter until they are about ready to resort, to violence to protect what they consider their rights. The interior department has been de voting most of its attention, in con nat ion with violations of the lence removing order, to Nebraska und New Mexico, where large areas are under fence. In spectors will be sent to Kansas to. inves tigate the complaints that have been made and report the facts to the oepart ment uf justice. State Journal. , t. f - I- ny, I: .if
