According to announcement, the Bur
ington “Corn Special” arrived in Loup
City last Thursday evening, and was
met by a large delega'ion of represent
ative citizens and farmers. The train
consisted of two sectional dining and
sleeping coaches, for the professors and
Burlington officials accompanying the
special, and two roomy day coaches to
accommodate the people, the addresses
being given from a platform at the end
of each coach bv different representa
tives sent out from the Mate University
experiment station who lectured on the
proper growth and selection of seed
corn, how to grow alfalfa, and kindred
subjects, receiving everywhere most
earnest a tention of their hearers. The
protestors w ho accompanied the special
were Messrs. Lyon, Montgomery, Bur
nett. Pugsley and Lewellenof the Mate
University, w-hile the Burlington offi
cials w ith and in charge of the train
weie W’.H. Mdiiss. industrial commis
sioner: \V. vv. Johnson, assistant gen
eral freight agent; J. J Cox. district
freight agent, and I*. M. Whitehead,
traveling passenger agent. At their
special invitation, the writer accom
panied the special to Sargent, the end
of the divission, and found at each sta
tion a large number o* people whom the
qgicials courteously carried on to bar
gent. to hear the lectures, none being
delivered until that point was reached.
At barg'-nr, owing to the great crowd
gathered, overflow meetings were held
on the depot platforms, and intense in
terest was ♦'Xhibited by all. The inaug
uration of these special means ot reach
ing the people should and we trust will
be a teature each year, as its value will
be found incalculable. We will not
undertake, in the small space at com
mand, to give even a synopsis ot any
one of these lectures, as it w ouid be an
injustice to attempt to do so. Suffice
to say, they were full ol good sugges
tions, valuable information, good tood
for thought The special was provided
gratis by the Viurlinglon. and is a com
mendable feature, and shows i n active
interest by that great system in the
betterment of existing agricultural
conditions in their territory.

The State Journal winch in the past
decade has not been modest in its
claims and demands upon the state
treasury, and perhaps has been more in
evidence along the lines of grafting
than any one of the illustrious men
upon whom it has turned its attack*,
as those who live in glass houses should
i>e slow to heave dornicks. Among
those wh » ha*e incurred the esuecia
displeasure of the dear old Journal is
our own Senator Wal , who in his
usual vigorous manner, has been open
in his denunciation of the Journal's
warfare on the senate giving out what
he thought with no uncerta’n diction
That great paper seeks to distort the
utterances of Judge '.Vail on the pass
question, seeking to impress the idea
on its readers that the Judge claims
Us election because of this very thing.
This is not true Judge Wall was elect
ed over an anti pass opponent, who
made that a supreme issue, but his
const tuents did not take that question
into consideration, electing the Judge
for bis qualities as a lawmaker mid
with a belief in his better ability to
represent them in the Nebraska legis
lature. and the idea that the Judge
was elected on such an issue as pass or
anti-pass is an insult to the good
judgment and intelligence of the
people of Sherman and Buffalo counties.
The Journal is badly biased in its ir
rational attack* on public men and
measures.
While we do not belieye that the ac
ceptance of a pass isneops-arily a bribe,
nor have we so little faith in the men
who are sent to make our laws as to
indulge in the tirade against the pass
which seems to have become a mania
among our brethern of the press, ye’
owing to the sentiment abroad in Ve
ga’d lo the matter, we would think it
wiser should lawmaker*, state officers,
judges and public office holders general
ly refuse to accept these hits of paste
board This is merelv the personal
opinion of the writer. But allow us to
add. that if the truth were known
manvof these loudest howlers against
tiie pass, in the newspaper fraternity,
would prove the worst grafters.
Senator Mockett of Lancaster, who
as speaker of the house last session
accept 'd and still holds onto some two
hundred dollars received as salary f r
presiding over that assembly, and
which has been decided as unconsti
'utional. last week introduced an
amendment to the anti-pass bill pro
hihiting newspapers from accepting
mileage over railroads in lieu of money
for adve< Using. Mr. Mockett i- a funny
fallow, and some of his raw work would
do credit to a tyro in legislative doing*
In the meantime, if he would refund to
the state the little sum of per day
he took as speaker's salary, he would
show much more honesty of purp-se
than to try to kill an anti-pass measure
by fool amendments.
When Speaker Rouse launches hi*
eanidacy for governor, hi* taking of
£(>0 from the state as um onstiiioionai
salary, and not “putting it back’* after
he knew he had no right to it will he
apt. to place more than S6h worth of
obstruction in his path.
'Ihi legislature has set the time for
• diournment for today, although of
course the day will prove son-e for;y
eight hours oog, and real adjournmei t
may be looked for al*out Saturday,
Commencement at Balsorn.
In company with County Superintendent
Hendrickson and Attorney R. P. Starr of this
city, the writer last evening attended the com
mencement exercises of the Balsora school in
Washington township. The exercises were
held in the beautiful Swedish church, and the
chapel was packed with friends of the gradu
ating class, all available standing room being
t- ken. while it was estimated that upwards of
fifty persons were unable to gain admittance,
making the number present between 2ao and
300 And right here we pause to remark tiiat
it was the most orderly and attentive assembly
of people we have ever seen gathered on a like
occasion.Over the pulpit platform from one side
of the church to the other, was suspended an
artistically decor.: eJ banner, with the class
motto "Launched, but not Anchored." and the
eolors white and blue. The class flower was
the white rose, provided by Supt. Kendrick
son. At about h:3e to the sweet strain-of a
march, tne graduating class, composed of nine
members, seven bright-eyed girls and two
manly looking boys, tiled into the room and
took seat on the platform. The graduates,
properly, were from two schools, seven being
from that taught by Mi-s Minnie Gilbert, un
der whose direction the exercises were given,
while the remaining two were from No. 60.
taught by Miss Hess McDowell, namely the
Misses Eva Cailen and Lydia Grammond. One
of the very best features of the program, which
we give herewith, was the shortness of each
recitation, in direct contrast with the oftime
tiresome orations on such occasions:

Space wnl not allow of comment on each in
dividual number, nor would it be fair to speak
of only a portion of the ela--. as each did partic
ularly well, leaving especial notice of any one
as excelling impo.--.ibie. The class wa- com
posed of a galaxy of as bright. Intellectual
and enthusiastic faces as we ever hooked upon,
and it is tot difficult to predict that each will
develop into manhood or womanhood that will
redound to their credit, and be a pride and sat
isfaction to their parents, teachers and friends.
Especial commendation is due Miss Minnie
Gilbert and Miss Bcs- McDowell, to who-e
careful and painstaking work is due in large
measure the success achieved by these young
people. The pupil is in no small measure the
reflex of the teacher. This, is an admitted fact
And we are pleased to note that Supt. Hen
drickson claims these teachers are au intellect

work and intellectual force back of the effort.
of nearly the entire corps of teachers ur.der his
supervision. Adim ting this. Sherman county
tanks high in -he educational circles of this
state which has the smallest per cent of illit
eracy of any of our si-ter states. Following
the class work came the address of liobt. P.
starr of this eitj Mr Starr had expressed
himself to us as having been unable, owing to
press of businesswto make careful prepara
tion. but of that he showed no evidence, and
for some twenty-five minutes, in his happiest
manner, gave the cias- a hea't to heart talk
from the school of experience, that was by far
the best effort we have listened to from that
gentleman in the past. His address covered a
wide range of thought and was received by his
auditors w ith the most absorbing approbation.
Following came the presentation of class diplo
mas. by County Superintendent Hendrick
son accompanied by a taik to the graduates,
closing with a clear enunciation of present
advanced school method- for the benefit of par
ents and patrons of the school. If Supt. Hen
drickson ever talks to u- again disparagingly
of bis oratorical gifts, we shall lose a portion
of our belief in his veracity. He surprised us.
as in his few minutes, talk he gave us ample
evidence that he possesses no paucity of ideas
nor lack of oratory to give them force and con
viction. There was ample and good music by
the class and others, with Miss Sandh as ac
companist on the organ. But all good things
have their closing moments, and so with bene
diction by Rev. Sandh closed this evening
which marked an important, epoch in the lives
especially of nine promising young people
just budding into manhood and womanhood, j
May success attend them This evening the
class wa- to hold a reception at the home of

several other points if we took in Loup

did no arrive as scheduled. As Loup

that there was no intention of slighting
