Entered at the Eoup City Postoftlce for trans
mission through the malls as second
clans matter.
Considerable talk is being in
dulged in regarding tbe educational
privileges of two children known
as the Bentley children, and living
with B. T. Snyder of this city.
These children, as we understand it,
were formerly of North Blatte aud
have both father and mother living.
The father, we understand is well to
do and abundantly able to care for
and educate the children. He was
at Loup City a short time before
the holidays aud stated to the di
rector that he did not mind pacing
the tuition but that he would like
to know whether or not his children
hud a place in tbe world.
Now it might here be stated that
Mr. Snyder has also in his eare and
keeping his grand children and
they have been, and are now going
to school without being charge**
with tuition fee, in as much as they
are making their home with their
grandparents and have been enumer
ated iu tbe district. But us to ‘.he
two Bentley children, it was decided
by the board that it was equitable
and just to the tax payers of this
distrsct for the father to pay for the
education of bis children, and for
them it 19 contended that a tuition
tee be charged. Mr. Snyder paid a
tuition fee for the month of .Janu
ary hut failed to pat lor February,
and at the opening of school for
this month last Monday the teacher,
persuant to instruction* form the
boaru, sent the children home.
There is some contention as to the
condition under which the tuition
for Jaunarv was paid. If we mis
take not (and if we do we beg to be
corrected), Mr. Snyder say that the
director agreed to hold the money
until he (Snyder) met with the boaid
to consider the matter. In such an
event should Mr. Snyder fail to ap
pear at all, the director would always
have funds on haud. Mr. Pedlar,
the director says, that he agreed to
hold the money until the board
should act upon it, and at the same
time giving Mr. Snyder notice of
date and place of the next, a special
meeting. At this meeting Mr.
Snyder was present, but it beiog a
special meeting and not a full board
present no business of any kind
was transacted. But a meeting two
night* later was arranged. At tbis
meeting all members of the board
were present, but Mr. Snyder, for
getting the date, or mtsscalling
Thursday for Friday, failed to come
and the meeting was held open until
9 o'clock when the director reported
the payment of tuition for the month
of January and asked the board
what should be done with it. The
matter was discussed and, by motion,
it was ordered turned over to the
treasurer. On Monday, pursuant to
a standing order^em the board to
the effect thfUfe^ie teachers should
not receive jHLwresident pupils with
out certilicffiptf tuition paid, the
Bentley ch»5fren were sent home,
it having appeared that the tuition
for February had not been paid.
This has created an unpleasant
feeling. No one wants to see a
child deprived of educational ad
vantages, but being a member of
the board, and having studied the
case carefully, we are of the opinion
that we have done as near right as
it is possible to do under the cir
cumstances.
Mr. Snjder, we understand is now
taking the initiatory steps to b< -
come the legal guardian of the child
ren in the county court of Lincoln
county were the children former!)
resided, and when he receives his
appointment from the proper legal
authorities in such cases there will
be no question as to their becoming
K sidents of this district.
DfiiillJ of Population Compared.
Norway’s population is the smallest
in Europe compared with hi*» area.
Each of her inhabitants could have 40
acres of land, while the Briton would
have to be content with less than an
acre.
According to statistic collected by
the Census bureau the gross value
I of the products of iu laufautare

A writer from Oklahoma state
that those who are comfortably locat
ed in Nebraska bad better stay
where they are, and adds that the
weather is so ebangable there that
a farmer, while on the r<>r.d lost one
l of his oxen with the heat, and while
he was skinuiug him the other one
froze to death. How about that
Joe?.
For those who complain of the
lack of galantry on the part of Ame
ricans, the fallowing may prove in
structive: Ambassador Choate was
present at au informal dinner at which
all the guests were intimate friends.
Some one proposed that each in turn
should answer the question; If you
were dead and could come back to
life, whom would you prefer to
come as? When it come Mr.
Choate’s turn he said, “I would pre
fer to come as Mrs. Choate’s second
husband”.
Gen. A. W. Greeley, chief signal
officer of the United States Army,
says that a favorite pass time of the
Philappino insurgents is to chop
down the telegraph poles in the
Islands and drag a wa\ miles of
copper wire. This they seem to do
largely from a spirit of wanton
ness, and the laziness of I he average
Filippinogivt-s way to an industrious
energy when working such destruc
tion. There are now (5.500 miles of
telegraph and cable lines in the Phil
ippines and thirteen out of the four
teen larger islands ate already in
telegraphic communication

“I hobbled into Mr Blackmon'* drug
store one evening "’says Wesley Nelson,
of Hamilton, On., “and he asked me t<>
try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm for rheu
matism with which 1 hail suffered for a
longtime. I told him I had no faith in
any medicine as they all failed. He said:
‘•Well if Chamberlain’s Pain Balin does
not. help you, you need not pay for it,’’
I took a bottle of it home and used it
according to the directions and in one
week I was cured, and have not since
been troubled with rheumatism.” S »ld

WHAT PEOPLE EAT.
/oni<* CuricHi* Inseet Dliliei for tht
Allg.fini( of the Appetite.
The ancient Israelites ate locusts,
tri. d in oil, and many modern travelers
In Africa have pronounced well-cooked
locusts to be both succulent and nour
ishing, with something of the taste of
boiled eggs. The old great philosopher,
Socrates, who knew several things,
consldt red a dish of well-cooked grass
hoppers to be more toothsome than
quail on toast, and the French army in
Algiers found that grasshoppers, sim
ply boiled in salt water, were not only
good eating, but a valuable addition to
army diet, and the old campaigners
carried the custom back home with
them, so that today grasshoppers are
valued in many French provinces as
an article of food. In Poitiers, France,
the children catch grasshoppers In the
fields and eat their legs raw. The
French bon vivant enjqys his dish of
snails and in many French country dis
tricts a cricket called the cockchafer Is
regarded as excellent food. In fact, a
resolution once offered in the French
senate, to provide funds for the de
struction of the cockchafer because of
its injury to vegetation in certain sea
sons, met with strong opposition from
many learned senators because of its
value to the ppople as a food product.
The palm worm of India, a white, oily
insect, about three inches in length, is
considered a delicacy by the natives,
whether eaten raw or cooked in vari
ous ways. It is sometimes united with
hour and made into cakes, or its oil Is
extracted and used as the base of gravy
and sauces as an appetizer with other
lool products. The white ant of India
and Africa, fried in butter, is also a
thoice article of food. In Australia the
larvae of the horned caterpillar are
regularly sought for food. They are
lound in decaying trees and have a
value and flavor according to the spe
cies of tree they have been taken from.
The natives eat them raw, but the
civilized tribes prefer them fried. We
can imagine the lady of the family,
with her market basket, dickering for
her favorite brand of caterpillar eggs.
Buffalo Bill’s Indian Duel.
Ex-Congressman John Finnerty
tolls the following good story of Buf
fo.lo Bill: "Years ago, in an Indian
'scrap' in which I bore a part, Buffalo
Bill and Yellow Hand, the noted chief
of the Cheyennes, had an all but hand
to-hand fight, and it was one of the
finest things I ever witnessed. Yellow
Hand was one of the best looking of
Indians and was possessed of a mag
nificent physique. In his war paint
he was superb. What Yellow Hand
Was for an Indian Cody was and is
for a Caucasian. The two were about
as fine specimens of the red and white
races as could be found. They were
mounted and made a dead set for each
other. When some 20 paces apart
they opened a simultaneous file, with
the result that both horses fell dead
in their tracks. Neither of such ex
perienced horsemen, however, was to
be caught by a falling animal, and
both alighted on their feet. Both
rifles again came to shoulder with ma
chine-like precision, and again the
two shots were at once. This time
Yellow Hand missed by a hair’s
breadth, but it w» not so with Buf
falo Bill. His bullet crashed through
the Indian chief’s brain. To this day
Cody preserves among his trophies
Yellow Hand’s bonnet.”

HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
W. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md.t March 30, 1901.
Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
• full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
J underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours,
