A small cyclone formed in Fritz Bichel's yard last Thursday. It first struck the hayrack, picking it off the wagon and carrying it completely over the large barn, landing it north east of the barn in the colt yard and smashing it completely. It then took out several rods of high board fencing where the posts were set in cement and ail the lumber was bolted to the posts. The fence could not have been put up stronger, but the wind tore it to pieces and scat tered it over the prairies as if it had been a toy fence. It picked the hay stacker up and dropped it a short distance from where it was but badly wrecked it. A great many other things were scattered by the storm. The twister seemed to travel about half a mile and then go up again. A narrow escape from serious results oecured last Monday afternoon down by the ball park, when a family named McCall, living near Austin, driving home in a buggy ard leading a rest ive horse, were thrown from the bug gy by the animal being frightened by a passing auto and jumping on tha vehicle, overturning it and throwing Mr. and Mrs. McCall and baby to the ground, injuring the baby slightly. No fault we understand rests with! Mr. Dinsdale. the auto driver, as he stopped the car at the firet signs of j fright on the part of the animal. Last Sunday, several of our citi zens on their own motion, and not as representatives of. the or thodox churches, as was surmised, went to the ball park and stopped a Sunday game of the National sport, I which is in clear violation of law. j Some bitter comments have b^en made over it by thojse favoring Sun day bast' bail, but are forced to ac knowledge they were clearly within their rights. However. E. G. Taylor, i who is one of our most public spirited , men. and cne of the committee, told j the boys he would be one of a num-j ber to raCe $500. giving *100 of it j himself, to provide a purse for ex penses of the season, if they would 1 ehooseweekdaysto pull off games and! !> interesting our business men along j ■-i. j>e,iiues, and c using their business, hoots- during games We trust the' matter may be adjusted to the satis-! faction of all. * - ■ In^Hemoriam Whereas another link in the frater; mil chain that binds us together lias been severed in the death of ^our brother. \Y.

Report of Sunday School Convention. The sixteenth annual Sunday’ Schodl Convention of Sherman county ; opened Tuesday afternoon. April 23, at 2:30 with Pres. Beushausen pre siding Immediately after the reading of the minutes of the last county con vention. the work of the afternoon was turned over to Margaret Ellen Brown, who opened the convention with a roll call of schools. Of the fourteen schools which have thus far reported to the county secretary only four were represented that tirst after noon with a total of seventeen people In the audience. Miss Brown then took up the graded.school problem, telling how to proceed in grading 'a school, discus sing the various problems as they were presented and making clear to her audience the many puzzling proposi tions with which the teachers were meeting. She suggested that the an nual promotion be Observed on the last Sunday inSepttemberasallgraded lessons are dated from October 1st. and the pupil should begin the year's work' at that time in order to properly complete the coursfe. i uc^u4» cue cuii*euLion opened with forty-three people in at tendance and six schools represented. Miss Brown delivered a splendid lecture on ‘‘The Mission of Missions in the Sunday School." and it is a matter of regret that the church was not filled with m>n and women to hear her explanation of this great Work of which so little is generally known. Nine out of every ten people who hear the word "missions" im mediately think of China. Africa or some; other foreign -point without seeming to realize #.he great need of missionary work in our own country, state, county and in our own com munity., Wednesday morning a report of the financial condition of tha county as sociation was given and it was found that every school except one in the Litchfield district pad paid their ap portionment while pnly one school in the Loup City district had paid theirs, so the. association is very much in arrears. - On roll call of schools twenty-three people were found present and four schools represented. Miss Brown then took, up the subject of Story Worfc-.-as being -the- most effective method of teaching the Sunday school lesson to little people. She reccom meiided a little book "Stories and Story Telling" by E. P. St. John, as being particularly helpful to teachers of primary pupils. She also reccom mended the following books: "Educa tional EvahgaUzati'on". for all teach ers: "The Boy in the Church." for teachers of boys and "The Girl in Her -Teens,." for teachers of girls. Tbe balance of the morning was spent in describing the work of the Intermedi ate and Senior departments. Wednesday afternoon the nomina ting committee presented the follow ing names to the convention all of which were duly accepted and elected for the term of one year or until the nest convention: President. C. F. -Beushausen. Loup City; Vice-Pres.. A. S. Miller. Litchfield; Secv-Treas. Mrs. E. W. Thompson. Loup City; Supt. Elementary Dept.. Harriet pay hurst. Loup City; Supt. Secondary Dept.. Mrs. C. W. Gibson. Litchfield; Supt. Adult Dept.. E. H. Robinson. Hazard: Supt. Home Visitation. Elizabeth Leininger. Loup City: Supt. Teacher Training Dept., Rev. J. C. Tourtelott. Loup City: Supt. Pastors. Dept.. Rey. Powers. Loup City: Supt. Missionary Dept,. Mrs. Edwin Angier. Loup City: Supt. Temperance Dept.. Mrs. J. A. Plant, Austin. Miss Brown then toot up the sub ject of Sunday'.school organization, giving a blact board outline showing how a school should be organized ac cording to tlie~ International Stand ard. and how tlife various departments should be managed so as to avoid all possible friction. She spoke of the necessity of the Sunday school provid ing social life .for its members in every department from the Cradle Roll to the AdulL department, show ing how outside -influences could thus be lessened and also how pupils in the Intermeaiatp.and Senior depart ments would be restrained from rush ing into tlie adult classes. The conventMt then closed and Miss Brown left- its feeling that though the attendance had been small, better work would be done in Sherman county this year, than ever before. . Mbs. E. W. Thompson.
