Senator M. L. Fries of Arcadia
is prominently mentioned for presi
dent pro tern of the coming state
senate. Senator Fries is a good
man for the place.
John Wall was down from Arcadia.
Tuesday, an interested court spectator.
John is a leading candidate for chief
clerk of the house again this winter, a
place of great responsibility, ana one
he has successfully filled two or three
sessions before. It is good business
sense to re-elect him.
In an interview with Senator M.
L. Fries of Arcadia, the other day,
the Lincoln News quotes the gen
tleman as opposed to any change in
the new revenue law making the of
fice of deputy assessors elective, as
not feasible and giving cogent rea
sons for his stand. Several coun
ties in the s'ate demand the pro
posed change.
It is little short of exasperating
that the courts and the law can be
so played with as in the case of
Tom Dennison, the big Omaha gam
brr, who is wanted in Iowa for al
leged complicity in the Pollock dia
mond robbery of several years ago,
and who is doing his best to keep
from going. If he’s innocent, what
is he afraid of? If it were some
small villain he would have been
there and had it over months ago
Is it any wonder the people have a
glowing contempt for the courts?
Ex State Treasurer Joe Bartley’s
bondsmen are trying in every con
ceivable way to get out of their li
ability, and are now making a su
perhuman effort just preceding the
legislature. In the meantime Bart
ley, thanks to Gov. Savage, is free
and living quietly in Lincoln. It
will be in order for him to take an
other vacation to parts not given
out for publicity, in a short time, if
the legislature sees lit to order an
other committee to investigate him,
as per the last session, as more con
venient than the fatigue of appear
ing before a prosy committee.

Farmers have mostly finished

School Affairs ill Sherman Co
December 14, 1904.
Oo Friday evening, December 9. in
company with Sup*. R. D. II end rick so;,
we attended tbe dedication of the Prairie
Gem school boose four miles west oi
Loup City. This is a new modern
school'bnilding built of brick and ousting
nearly flOOO. Tois is the best c »uuiry
school building in Sherman cunty.
It was a great <»cc*sion f >r the p;ople of
t’*Ia. district. Every man. woman, and
child in the district was present. Supt.
Hendrickson gave a practical and inspir
log talk and presented the district with
a photograph of one of the sod school
houses of Sbermin co loty recently dis
placed by a new frame schai! building.
This picture be wished bung on the
Walls of the Prairie Gena schoolhouse t«
impress upon the pupils their comforts
and opportunities as compared with the
children who once had to attend scl>o>!
in the sod building. Excellent nr-sic
was furnished by the McKinney
Brothers, who have recently moved nu1
from St. Louis to manage their ranch in
Sherman county. Oue of these brothe rs
is the champion golf pliver in Missouri.
We are sometimes surprised at the tal
ent we find in the rural communities of
Nebraska. Our p irt in tbs prtgnm
was a talk oa “O ir Young People an »
What Shail We D> with Tu^m?"
Much praise is due ths s;b»ol boird.
Mtgsrs E. J. Pugsley, S. II. Conger an'
M. E. Mitthews, in the erection of this
new brick school house, which w mid b
a ciedit to any rural district in the state.
On Monday evf nmg, Jana try 2. t» re
wi.I ie a b >x supper a' the Prairie Gem
school, the proceeds of which will go to
ward the purchase of an orgm for th
school. S ipt. Hendrickson is making

suppeis.
emuraay, use. iu, we attended th*
Sherman C »uuty Teachers’ Associa'Ioo
at Loup City, where there was a good
attendance of teachers, pupils ard pi
tron*. Our address there was “An Horn
With Great Men.’’
We found a go >J scboo’ sentiment in
Loup City. Principal Ilufmm aa i h:«
assistant, Miss King, as-i^ted by a corps
of teachers in the grades, are doing ex
elleat work. The ad ling of an e*fn
teacher in the high school and increasing
the coarse o' s'uiy one ye «r has done
much to raise the standard in the Loop
City BChoo’e. This is sa d In no dispar
agemeotto the good work that was don**
under Ptia. M. H. Meau. We were
pleased to learn that nearly ail of the
pupils of the class of 1904 and sever il
from the class of 1903 are back in school
taking work under the extended course
of study.
The new cement walks about th*
school building and grouads, laid since
our last visit to Loup City, make a great
improvement in their general appear
ance and spe tk w«ll for the interest the
board of education tikes in the school
With Supt Hendrickson we drove
over to Litchfield for a meetiag Satur
day evening, where we addressed one ot
the most appreciative and culture 1 au
dlences it has been our privilege to meet
In Nebraska. There, too, we found our
old time friend, Prin. Wm. Crichton, a
neighbor when we were superintendents
of Nemaha and Johnson counties re
spectively, in the good] old days. Litch
field has a good corps of teachers and a
good school sentiment.
Supf. Hendrickson takes great interest
in the rural schools of bis county. He
is making a special effort in the eighth
grade promotion exercises. Several
pupils are now in attendance at the high
schools in Loup City and Lirch field
through bis interest in their welfare.
In Mnrch he will group three or four o!
the rural schools in the north vestcru
part of the couoty for eighth grade pro
motion exercises. He coateraplatee u
like program for several schools in the
southwestern part of the county. For
these meetings we have promised him
Mr. Ed C. Bishop, who will be the de
puty state superintendent at that time
Mr. Bishop is intensely interested in thU
line of work himself, having given York
County four years of liis best efforts
along these does. He is pronounced by
’eminent authority the most successful
supervisor of rural schools in the United
States.
Let every teacher, every pupil, every
school officer, and every patron of Sher
man county join han is with Supt.
Hendrickson for the improvement of
rural school conditions. Let them catch
the spirit that permeated the good old
couutry pb c e of Drumt >eb>y in the days
of Dousi** Jamiesj*’. ‘There wai jus'
a single ambition in th‘ s* t umble homes
10 have one of it), mender* a* Colhge,
and if Doxrsie proved a la i, [hen his
brothers and sisters would give their
wi/es, and the fami,- would live on
skimmed miik and oat c «i e, to let him
have tils cl a^ce.”
Hasten the day when (here will be
sueh a spirit of self sacrifice in thous
ands of homes in this gre it common
wealth, in both cBj and country, now
negligent of the<r duty to
their children la matters of education.
Every child that corn*** into this world
has a right to an education.
It is a prime duty of parents, school
officers, and teachers to co-operate to se
curing a prompt and regular attendance
of pupils at school. For the school year
ending July, 1903, there were enrolled
in our pnblic schools 278,651. The av
