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.

BREEZES FROM CENTRAL CITY
Released from pain and suffering here.
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

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.

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. C cm BAD PaMK!.
