Lenis Larson was up the first of the week. from Whitney Mrs. Clark and Helen went east visit, Tuesday evening. on a Joe StaUney is down from his ranch at Hampshire, Wyo. this week. On our recent visit to the Junior Nor mal at Alliance we failed to see any teachers from Sioux county while there was a fairly good Dumber from the counties; shame on the teachers of this county and we hope the school boards will lemember the ones ttlat do attend later on and will show their appreciation by an advance in their wages. We con sider this Mm greatest opportunity that has ever been offered our teachers in this north-west, and if a school teacher ex pects to get any thing with out making some sacrifice they must be of the lucky number. We are pleased to know that Sioux Co. has one prospective teacher Miss Mabel Bigelow who is not letting this opportunity go by and we know she will be tlie gainer in time to come. In the death of Rev. Charles E. Rice of HotchkissCol. as chronicled in last weeks issue the world has lost one of the roost ardent Christian men that it has ever been our pleasure to meet, while Mi- Rice was weak physically his bearing ax aChrintian man was worthy of example by all. We on I v wish the world had uiuny such menus he was not physically hut spiritually for he will ever he as a living monument, to those that he came in contact with as to what it takes to make a Christian, Mr, Rice has many friends in all Sec tions of this part of the country, who will be pained to learn cf hisdeath, know ing that his life, was pattern of the one wlimn it was his pleasure to serve. The Prewv Journal ex tends sympathies to the bereaved wife, and relatives. Hunter Happenings.

Hone to their rest, have two ol our friends since we last sent items. One so young and ambitious to have to give up life so early, makes it seem so sad, and the other so full of good works all his life. Wa almost question, why must it be so when so many less valuable lives are spared? It makes heayen seem not very faraway. This old earth ship is continually leaving loved ones on the evergreen shores, never to return to us, but when tlie Master calls shall we be ready to go over also? What is life, when death is but the beginning of life eternal? Rev. Rice and wife were wel. come guests at so many of our home for many years, and his cheerful, happy disposition won his way to every heart. How sadly will ha tie missed, but he has gone from works to rewards. Picked our first mess of strawberries yesterday. A good deal of corn will have to ba replanted, but Um ground is to wet to work now. Commencement week is over and the students have returned to their homes after a hard years work, Ooly two to graduate this year and they are from the College. The Academic course has added one more yer, so there were no grad uates from that department this year. At this writing F. W. is sick in bad and haa betn for several day a, but under the skillful hands of Dr. Brown he haa been brought through a very critical period and is getting along aa wall as sny one could. He will ba abl to ait up in a few daya if ha continues to improve. Bo much wet weuther the l)ra, are fearful of good deal of stomach and bowel trouble- Cuo. Agate Phraser Af yea seem to have no correspondent in Agate, I will try to send you a few items that I have gathered "at an immenoe sacrifice of time and labor." The patriotic people in ttiese parts in tend to celebrate the glorious 'Fourth' by a picnic in Mr. Harris' grove and a dance in bis capacious building on Runniug Water. A good time is expected. Grandma Miller aud Mrs. Myers arrived from Cherry County to visit Mrs. John Kay, daughter and sister, respectively, of the above ladies. Misses Anna and Nora Neece are back home from IheChadron Academy, where they spent tho last nine months. We have had plenty of rain during the past weeks aud the old saying that a wet Easter makes 10 wet Sundays proved true this yetr. Tlie country looks One in its fresh green dress; the cattle are picking up and doing nicely. Messrs. Harris and Metlon intend to build a school house and to employ a teacher. Mr. R. T. Neece is employing an instructor now. It seems but fair that men paying their children's tiution out of their own pockets ought to have their pro rata of the State money provided they employ a competent teacher. As it s now, the country furnishes no educa tional facilities to many children, but gets a sliare of the State money by rights belonging to them. An effort will un- deubtly ba made to remedy this condi tion. ScruBA. X In Wyoming. A few have been loosing cattle by the blackleg route lately. With sorrow we read of the death of Rev. C. E. Ricu, at Hotchkiss, Col. We have known Mr. Rice for several years having gotten acquainted with him while we lived near Bodarc. To Mix. Rice and family we extend our sineerest sympathy; and can say that the readers of tlie Puiwb-Jol'KRaL in this community nil sympathize deeply with her, as they know her through the correspondence from Hotchkiss.. - Mrs. Frees met with quite a seriou accident week ago last Monday night which came very near casting her life, Hhe had been y mi ting Mrs. Sides and l;rt there lor home about 8 o'clock. Th. lorse i nai sue was riding lelt quite guy and when about half a mile from ho.ie "lie rare u,, and prance up, and kick uj his heels, throwing Mim, Frees over hi had to the ground, where she was found by her husband sometime later greatly cniuea ana in a uazed state. Hhe was taken home and the doctor sent for, win arrived at 5 o'clock the next morning. un examination It was lound tlial one fore arm, just above the wrist, sustained a compound fracture, while the other had one, if not both tones, broken just above the wrist. The fractures were re duced as best they could be ou accoun oi me swollen condition ol the arms. On last Friday, as she was suffering i great (leal, she was taken to Lunk, bu we hear that the doctor could not do much to relieve the pnln. At present she is resting easier and doing as well as could he expected. The neighbors are all very kind and doing all that they can te make her comfortable, Mrs, Church, Sr., is and has been, con stantly by her bedside, doing the house work and ministering to Iter wants. We all sincerelv hope that she will soon be able to get out again. Next Sunday being Children' bay their teacher.

Miss Florence Christ ian has been engaged to teach the prim arv department there the next term. Nate Deuel arrived on the Ridge laat Saturday night and was sltaking hands with friends here on Sunday. Mrs. Hortor accompanied her husband out to his charge here ou last Sunday. They were the guests of Mr. aud Mrs. HolterfJeld over night Saturday , Quite a shower visited the Ridge on last Sunday afternoon. It was quite re freshing and no doubt did a deal of good. Z. G.

John and Laney Sutton expect to make an overland trip to visit their brother Albert, at Kay See, in the near, future, Mies Bertha Thompson, who U suffer ing will) inflamatory rheumatism, is a littlei batUr at last reports. Oeorga Davis lias been having trouble with hia pump, and at times la short nn Mrs. J, U. Williams is still quite poor ly, but we hope to hear of tier recovery soon. - We hope that Bouquet does not think for a minute that we have a spite against White River. Far from it, some of our happiest days in the wast were spent a long the banks of that beautiful stream. We, may he mistaken,, but wa always thought that Glen was on White River. As we write these items, the day be fore Monday, hail is falling as large as anfpes' eggs. Mr. and Mrs. A. Christian went to Lusk on last Friday, returning on Saturday. J, A. Rice and family' passed through here, with a prairie schooner, enroute to Agate ranch on Galloping water. Yes Peggy, we are glad to know that our neighlxtr, Mr. Wilson, is taking such an interest in Sunday Schools and meet ings, He Is a regular attendant at our meetings here. Wa bear that Mr. SUve Eldridge, who lives in the valley near Mr, Deuel's, was ran down and seriously hurt at his ranch on Cottonwood a few days ago. We sincerely nope mat it may not tie as serious as roported. An ac I ipse of the 8un (Harrison) occurr ed on laat Friday, and ft wasn't billed in the almanac either. When it came to our table and was opened, lo, it would "frox your whiskers" to see the page of local news. The correspondents too must have gone oq a visit. Well, Sun, we'll excuse you this time, but don't keep it up all summer. What's the matter with Clio and M. A. C? Wake up and say something. Those fellows in Drouthy Kansas, who live along the Smokey Hill and Caw rivers from Raima down, had better come to western Nebr. or eastern Wyo., where we just have enough rain and no more. Laney Sutton came out to the Ridge on last Sunday. We surmise that he ami John started on their trip to Kav see on Monday. Wa hear that Cora Davis was thrown from her pony and dragged a short dis tance,, one day last week. She escaped with a few slight bruises. J. H, 5wwlm and family and Mrs. E va E. Christian and daughter Nellie were sight seeing in your city on last Monday Zkkiel, To the Teachers of Sioux County, The railroads will grant a rate of a fare and one-third on tlie certificate plan f. Monday and Tiienlay, June 22 and 23. These are the only Alliance dates on which reduced sales w ill be made to except August 9 aud 10 which is named a the bulletin I have mailed to each teacher in Sioux? County. I wish to impress upon every teacher and prospective teacher in the county the good which can be derived from the Normal at Alliance, I am sure if v.,u clearly realized what you are letting pass by within the reach of every one of you that you would make an effort and a HHirrilloe to attend ail of the term you possibly can. The following is what Supt. fowler has to say in regard to the si.hool. ''I trust every Superintendent addressed in this letter will use all rev sonable means to secure a large attend ance from the teachers of his county at the Alliance Junior Normal, Tin appropriation is only lor the ensuing biennium, and unless your counties show by a liberal patronage that vou appreciate and that you will profit by such p-iv ileges the legislature two years hence will in all prolsibility refuse vo ma!;e another uppropriatian. It therefore rests with the County Superintendents whether or not this school shall be mantained your territory. If we expect success I believe it is absolutely necessary for you to do away with your county Institute and give the Junior .Normal a fair trial and a clear way. The laat week of the Junior Normal school will be Institute week ; but remember tiiat wa must work for a good attendance from every county (or the full term. I believe wben the matter is properly presented to your teachers they will ba ready to make some sac- nhVe and some effort to profit by the advantages offered them at Alliance, every teacher who attends Una echool for the entire term will be worth at least $0 a month mora lo her school. I urge upon the school officers of your county, therefore the plea of simple justice when I say that they should pay higher salaries to teacliera who thus prepare for their work than for indifferent teacher who do not attend. On this plan and in this pint, I ask the hearty co-operation of every teacher in your county, every school ottlcer as well as your own best efforts for lietter teachers and better schools " 1 trust each teacher will give Um school a trial and thus prepare for advancement of our educational interest of tlirs coun ter.
