Please give this your immediate attention_ We regret that circumstances are such this week as to prevent us from issuing our boom edition. On Mon day morning last we telegraphed or ders to the ready-print house at Omaha to ship our paper with four pages blank, thus giving us plenty of space for our extra edition. Hut the house had shipped'the paper ha fore receiving the order with only two pages blank, as usual. Next week, however, we shall issue the promised extra edition, with a large number of extra copies. The write up will b« even more complete on account of this delay, as it gives us still further time to obtain facts wkieb otherwise would have been omitted. The Valley County Times is a new republican paper established at Ord. The Times is full of news aad re flects great credit upon its publish ers, Messrs. Iveggett & Harris. It printed the programs for the Ord high school exercises, which this town usually has done elsewhere. The Times is run somathing on the “new journalism'' plan. Its news is apparently ail reliable, however. Just now the new venture is en deavoring to have a lake constructed at Ord for not only pleasure purposes alone but to be utilized as power to run the electric light plant, fac tories, mills., etc., which are but visionary as jet The lake, if ar ranged after its promoteis' plans, would make a magiiiflcenl pleasure resort, besides furnishing power for the Times ‘ big ’ press when they got it_ Stand up for Nebraska!

She Dies an Hour Afterwards With Her <>-Months-Old Babe by Her Side. The citizens of Loup City were shocked when Louis Haller ol' Bloody Run came Into town last Wednesday morning anil reported to Coroner Dr..I W. Jones the awful new* that Mrs. llizner, who lived with her mother-in law in that locality, two miles east of Hazard, had committed suicide by cutting her th oat with a razor. In accordance witli this information Coroner Jones and Sheriff I'atton sum moned a jury and started for the llizner residence to hold an Inquest The in quest was held Wednesday afternoon, 10. W. (towin. Clarence Littlefield, <» H. Scott, C. J. Bolt, F. 10. Brewer and K A. Smith being selected as juror*. The evidence disclosed the fact that Mrs. llizner had been sick a day or two w ith lagl'lppe and w as in tied at the time she <mmmilted the deed. The case was evidently one of insanity, brought on by worry, she having lost her husband and two children in the last six months, which together with her III health over balanced her mind. About 5 o'clock In Hie evening the unfortunate'* mother-in-law, old ludy llizner, went out to the bam to milk the cow and during her absence it i* sup posed the daughter-in-law got out of bed and secured the razor. On the old lady's return to thelionae the awful dis covery was made. The demented wornau had cut three gashes in her body near the lower part of the breast none, i nest* wounus, nowever, wouiu not have proven fatal. She then, it is supposed, cut her throat, completely severing the wind pipe. The old lady immediately gave the alarm and the suicide's brother-in-law, Paul Hizner, who lives not far away, started to Litchfield for a doctor, but the wound in the throat was fatal and medical assistance was of no avail. She lived about one hour, dying before the doctor arrived. The jury brought in a verdict In ac cordance with the aboye facts Deceased was about 24 years of ago. She was married to Henry Hituer in the fall of ISO! and to them four children were born, the two youngest being twins about 0 months old. A few months ago her husband died, leaving her four children to care tor. Her husband was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and she received #500 beneficiary. Soon after the bushaud's death two children, one a twin, took sick and died. Heryeungest child, a babe G mouths old, was lying by itB mother's side un harmed and the razor was found near the babe's foot. She also leaves a little girl 4 years old Services were held at the Ilizner resi dence yesterday under ttie auspices of the Modern Woodmen of America." The remains were Intel red in Litch field cemetery. We extend sympathy to the bereaved ones. COST OF AN EDUCATION.

It is a much less ex pensive school to attend than any other like Institution in the state, because the state takes so large a share of the bur den of the expense upon itself. The buildings, the, teachers, the library, the laboratories, are all furnished the stu dents fiee of charge, with the exception that each student pays for what he breaks or uses up In the laboratories. The actual expense that each student has beside board and room can lie made very small. This Item of living is by far the largest expense the average stu dent has. Board cun be gotten for al most any p' Ice a | erson is willing to pay. An average price for average board Is $2 to *2.50 u week. There are thirty-six weeks in each school year. This would make the expense of board for the school year, ut *2 u week, amount to *72 for the year. Room rent Is the next important Item < f necessary ex penses. A very comfortable room, with heat and light furnished, and not situ ated very distant from the university, would not cost on an average of *5 a month. If occupied by two It would amount to $2.50 apiece. For the nine mouths the expenses would he $22 50." Htato Journal. A YEAR AGO TOMORROW. Tomorrow (June 5) is the anniversary of the awful hull storm which occurred a year ago. The night of June 5, 181)0, will lie remembered by the people of Ibis city as one of the most fearful In Its existence. About 7 o'clock in the evening one of the most terrific hall storms ou record commenced. The noise from the hull on the roofs of the houses and the cradling of glass rendered shouting Inaudible close to tho ear. Only those, who experienced the storm can realize its intensity. The wind blew over numerous buildings, coin plainly wrecking the Catholic church and moving the Baptist church from its foundations, hut the noise of the hull was (o groat and the people so frenzied with fear that no attention was paid to the wind. Hull fell for fifty-live suc cessive minutes, water fell in torrents and the canal at the foot of the bluffs giving away, which added to already sea of water, gave tins valley tlie ap pearance of the storm-tossed Atlantic People in one-story houses resorted to chairs and lables to keep out of the water, while those in two-story houses wore afraid to go up stairs, fearing the hail would crash through the root. One fatality with numerous narrow es capes from death was the night's record. The storm will remain as indelibly im pressed upon the minds of those who experienced it as to those who wit nessed flie terrible affair at Johnstown. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
