A larger attendance of patrons participaied in its deliber ations than for a num: er of years. Only three members of the school board were present, Mr Henry being ill. Mr. Leininger being ah-ent from the city and Mr. Callaway being de terred from being on hanu by busi ness. E. G. Taylor acted as modera tor. with ,!. $. Pettier secret ary. An auditing committee, composed 1 of Messrs. Waite. Burleigh and Ftober was appointed to examine the ae .ounts of the treasurer and secretary and found them correct. A lengthy discussion over the inad equacy of our public sciiool building for the needs of the school district, brought about but little result. A majority upon vote decided that a high school building to cost less than i-i MwJ was not to be ei.nside.td, tho quite a num. er of those sj voting would be content wuh a building costing $o,ouo less rather than havt none at all. Finally, upon vote, t.ie moderator was instructed to ap point a committee of five to look into the matter of the feasibility of a new’ building and matters pertaining thereto and see what can be deduced along the lines of the above discus sion. The committee was composed as foliovNs: Mrs. D. 1). Grow, H. R. il. Williams. i>r. D. A. Leeper, C. R. Sw.eiland, A. it. Outhouse. Oa motion the hoard was instructed to, ii possible, find suitable accommo dations lor grades otherwise than m tile basemenf of the present building which was heartily condemned by tbe patrons as being entirely unfit from every standpoint. The terse remarks of Prof. Ytilliams, formerly of the Arcadia schools, in regard to the basement of our present school build ing being a menace to tiie health and well being of scholars who must per foice occupy the same for study and recitation, was enthusiastically re ceived, showing the feeljnj» of the patrons of the schools over their use. One lady insisted that her boy had seriously injured his eyes by being compelled to attend school in said ousement, while ottiers were free to say that their little ones should not attend school the coining year, if com pelled to receive instruction therein. The questions of firedrllls and fire tire escapes were vigorously taken up by patrons, resulting in a motion to the ellect that fire drills should be held weekly in the high school build ing during the first si.i months of the school year the weather permitting. Messrs. VY'. S. Waite and W. Larsen were elected as directors to fill the required positions. The hour b dug late, and discus sions regarding the various questions coming before the meeting having covered all phases, on motion adjourn ment was taken. Minnesota News. Editor Loup City Northwestern Loup City, Nebraska My dear Editor:— 1 am getting the ••Northwestern” all right now and am glad to read each week about the. doings of neigh bors and friends in Loup City. 1 promised you that 1 would write but thought 1 should wait until we saw how the crops were doing here. So I can write now withaclearconscience. It is a good country, a place to make a home. Trees, water, roads, and an abundance of grass rnakes.it a pretty country. There are several nice lakes not far from us. Wc have had lots of hard work this spring getting things in shape. Have been busy all the time. You see Will and myself have "20 acres to look after and get in shape. While we think Nebraska is all right, we certainly like our home here and will have no inclination to return only for a visit. We have a number of new and good neighbors, some of whom moved in this spring. All are pleased and enthusiastic about their new homes. The crops are tine here and it would surprise yon to see how large our com is, and there is a lot of it. It will not be long now until they will begin harvesting their winter rye, which is mostalwaysa sure crop. Will and myself have both sown , alfalfa here, although there is really no need for it as there is plenty of clover and timothy. Oats, wheat, barley; (lax, rye and com all doing splendid- Good stands and good color. 1 give you all au invitation to come ' and see us. I remain, Very truly, yours, George Peterson.

Save the Bull Snake The bullsnake keeps down the rattle snake, lives on Held mice ard your g gophers and is a blessing to the farmer. Vet just because he is a snake the hired man will stop his work, leave his team where It may run away and spend a lot of time killing the friend of all Held crops. Whenever you see one of those great big golden backed snakes in front of your mower or disc stop your team and hurry him out of danger. Tire gopher is theatening the alfalfa Helds of Nebraska because the farmers have allowed the bull nake bo be killed ou account of the general prejudice against all reptiles.- Bel grade Herald.

The moth er of the young miss gave her consent to the union. Preventing Mosquitoes The destruction of mosquitoes has received considerable attention at the hands of scientists. Eliminating these pests is often simple. First destroy all breeding places. Where the rain water barrel and the rain water tank are neccessary they should be screened. About a house the j waste places in the immediate vicinity sliould be carefully searched for tin j cans, wooden or tin boxes or other re- ! ceptacles in which water accumulates. These should be destroyed or carried away. Roof gutters should be exam ined for pools of water. The chicken pans in the poultry yard, the troughs for domestic animals, and the water cup of the grindstone are places where mosquitoes will breed and water\ should not be allowed tostand in them for more then a day at a time. Water in flower vases should be looked after. Mosquitoes will also breed in water, pitchers in unused guest rooms, pipes under stationery wash stands and other unsuspected places. For ponds and neccessary bodies of water the larvae may be killed by the use of crude oil which is allowed to spead over the surface of the water. To keep mosquitoes away at night mix an ounce of oil of citronella and spirits of camphor with a half ounce of oil of cedar. A lew drops on a bath towel hung at the head of the bed will usually keep mosquitoes away. Prize Poetic Pippins The story is going the rounds tliat the teacher in the public schools of j one our neighboring towns decided that the pupils of her department must write an essay or poetic effusion on various subjects. In compliance: with this idea, she gave each one of J her scholars some topic on which to . write. One little fellow was given! the subject of “birds” to hatch out in! verse. The boy demurred, but tlie; teac her insisting, he produced the I following: j A wonderful bird is the pelican His bill holds more than his bellioan Puts more fish in ids beak Tlian will last him a week And darned if I see how the helican. Another boy being given the sut ject of “India” also broke out in the following soulful, sorrowful song: The poor benighted Hindoo He does the best he kin-doo He sticks to hit caste From first to last And for pants he makes his skin-doo Another little fellow given the! subject of “Money,” that evening] came home from school sobbing with all his might, because his teacher had whipped him. His father inquired the trouble. He told his father about the task assigned him and said: “You know when I asked you last night what a million dollars was and you said it was a hell of a lot of money? Well, that ain't the right answer.” Another young scion was given the subject of “Vegetables” to work his thinker on and evolved the follow ing: There once was a lady named Perkins Who dearly loved Heinz’s gherkins She ate a whole quart Which was more'n she ‘ort, An it pickled her internal workin's. The last heard of the teacher she was the inmate of an insane asylum. Aurora Mill Destroyed. Aurora, Nebraska, June 2b.—The large milling plant of the Aurora Milling Company was totally destroy ed by fire this evening shortly after b o’clock. Adjoining warehouses, in whnb wheat and dour were stored, were saved after a hard battle. The origin of the blaze is unknow n. It started in the roof and had gained good headway before the alarm was : given. i Tlie loss is given at $35,000, and it | is thought to be insured for about 50 | per cent. W. H. Ferguson of Lincoln i is one of the main owners of the j. plant, which has been much improved i within the past year, $b 000 having been expended lately. -» BASE BALL Standing of teams in the Sherman Howard league: yr r prep Farwell. 8 2 800 Rockville. 5 5 500 Elba. 6 4 600 Boelus. 6 5 545 Dannebrog. 3 7 300 Ashton. 1 8 111 Farwell, Nebraska, June 29.—Far well won from Elba here Sunday in a 1 hotly contested game by the score of ! 4 to 3.
