Great is fame. The St. Pall Press
calls him Attorney General ‘•Morris'’
Brown.
Speaking of legislation. The Tri
bune suggests that the publication of
the House and State Journals be done
away with and the money thus spent
be us d to publish summaries of new
laws in the newspapers of the several
counties of the state. The money
appropriated for the publication of the
aforesaid journals is wasted. No one
cares a picayune about them.—Burwell
Tribune.
Tlie activity of the gov*rnment in
getting : f-er tl>e rrage njen in the
upper p »rt of this dtstrii t, is seemingly
proving « wet b'anket on C >ngr ssman
Kinkaid's boom for a third term.
When Kinkaid made his ten-strike by
getting the sectional homestead bill
into law. the ranchmen were ready to
niake a demi-god of him. Later, when
the government insisted on the h< m^
s'eaders making iiiipiovement in accord
with the 1 <w, hundreds of homesteaders
gave up ths bifile, claiming they could
n >t m ike a living and go to the expense
nec'ssary. abandon'd their homesteads,
an i Kinkaid stock began to go down.
And now comes reports from the big
range districts that the congressin in’s
L boom is taking a more decided tobog
gan slide, finding fault with KiDkaid be
cause he does not make an effort to stop
th“ government in it’s'a • iall«d i«r
" ' nicious activity against the iHegsl fen
cing. It would not surprise us should
Kinkaid take under ’advisement” the
ni lea of a third terra before getting into
the running.
We never were disposed to look with
favor on the idea of a good fat or
honorary olfii e or position hunting out
a man and forcing him to accept the
duties and honors thereof, willy nilly.
If an office or positi in is worth having,
it is worth going after. In the case of
Hon. Peter Mortensen and the gover
norship, this seems to be one of the
first kind. We would think a good deal
more ot Mr. Mortensen if he would
rigid out and sav he wants it and put
his great massive shoulders to the
wheel and force the boom into a reality
thaii to hear that he does not want the
office, wont try for it. but if it comes
his way. i. e , forced upon him. he will
be resigned to liis fate and accept. Mr
Mortensen has mode a great sta’e
treasurer, is a broad-minded, brainy
man, and we believe would make an
equally good executive head of this
i-tate. but we do not believe in forcing
the job on him. If It is worth having,
it is worth fighting for The same
may be said in regard to Norris Brown.
No one has a higher regard for Nebras
ka's brainy attorney general than we.
but we do not think it a good thing to
force him to get into the running for
B senator, unless he says he wants it and
puts up a stilt fight to win The writer
is not given to hero worship, and this
sentimentally erecting a throne and
making a deity out of any one ir two
m»n is sickening to say the least. No
man is so great but there are utheis as
great.
Two Weeks iii Haystack.
. Aboiit ten days or two wpeks previ
ous to tyst Friday a liorse and a mule
which had been running in George
SI 'isqer's alfalfa pasture on the wt gt
side of town along with a number of
others, disappeared and no trace of
either of them could be found. Last
Fridav. however, a horse's feet were
noticed protuding from under a staek
of alfalfa that had been blown ov«-r»
and an investigation revealed the body
. of a hors ■ and behind it the mule was 1
found standing np in a hole under the j
stack. The body of the horse was
somewhat decomposed, indicating that
life had been extinct for some days.
The mule ^as emulated gornewhat,
shqwlngthp effects pf its long confim
tusiit without water or exercise. The
animals weee probably standing on the
windward side ot the stack when it
ble* over catching them beneath it
The horse, not being as hardy as the
mule, succumbed to thirst, but the
mule feasted on the hay and w thstood
g the pangs of thirst until released.—
] Shelton Clipper.
The reported fining of two men for
» killing a deer north of town, was a
mistake. The deer was killed by dogs,
which of course could not be fined.

To the Teachers of Sherman
County, Nebraska:
Again I feel it my duty to call your
attention to the new law for the
certification of teachers. Information
to the effect that many teachers are
more or less discouraged, and are
disposed to drop out of the work has
come to my ears from various sources.
This, if true, is not as it should be.
The object of the law is the better
ment of the common schools. There
can be no improvement in these
schools unless the teaching force is
first raised to a higher plane. This
will surely be done, and unless those
of-you who--desire to remain. la the
work qualify yourselves as the law
and the rules and regulations of the
State department require, it is inevit
able that there must be an infusion
of new blood, and teachers from,
abroad will come in and occupy the
field. In order that ail may have the
best opportunity that the conditions
afford, M have decided to organize
Teacher’s Reading Circles at the fol
lowing points to meet on the second
Saturday of each month, viz: at Loup
City, Litchfield. Ashton and Rock
ville. Supt. Dale will have charge
at Loup City: Prin. Miller at Litch
field; Prin. Currier at Ashton afed
Miss Bessie Coulter, Principal, at
Rockville. You should by this time
understand that if the reading circle
work is done in a satisfactory manner,
you will be examined in the five
essentials only, provided you hold a
certificate in force Oct. 1st, 1905;
otherwise you must take examina
tion in every subject.
Heretofore the reading circle work
has not been a requiriment, and
teachers have neglected it saldy,
from this time on it will have to be
done and teachers who do not do it
will suffer from such neglect.
Reading circle books can he obtain
ed through me, or by sending direct
to the American Book Company,
521-531 Wabash Ave., Chicago, for
White’s Elements of Pedogogy and
Ginn & Company, 378-388 Wabash
Ave., Chicago. for Hitchcock’s
Louisiana Purchase.
