He says it is the best one he ever saw. We had the pleasure of attending A spelling school in district 15 011 IKst Thursday night. The exercises were 'abodt as follows. Spelled a short time with trappers, then all arose to spell for the championship, when the "boss" began to fall on the right and left until finally all but Charles Jackson, Anna Cockrall, Henry Brubaker, Miss Belle Schcnck and F.N. Richardson decided not to spell, and they concluded to epell for the championship, but Mr. Jackson thought c, and Miss Cockrall thought the final e were superfloua in in the construction of discipline, but Mr. Brubakej thought they were es sential, so they succumbed.- Miss Sehenck thought sophomore should contain an a Richardson thought not and at once substituted an o. Mr. Brubaker not being a good planettari- 11111 the championship was awarded to Mr. Richardson. In the second con test Richareson and Brubaker declined tospell in favor of the little folks. Miss Anna Cockrall and Chas. Jackson were the final contestants, but Mr. Jackson being a woman's rights man had to yield to Miss Cockrall, and she was de clared first best in the second heat. Guide Rock is destined to be "a city of the first class as soon as Lincoln can be incorporated as a suburb. , "Loo goo tee's" next letter will do it. Don't be gilt edged just yet. They say it will keep 20 years, therefore let us await furter developments. We ask the Hon. Superintendent who is satisfied with the labors of the teacher in district No. 15. Echo ans wers, who. He would have us believe the school is terribly crowded and ac commodations poor. Well, tbe house is not the best. The attendance last month was less than 23, this month it will be less. Fifty to seventy-five per sons can be tolerably comfortably stowed away at a spelling school or Lyceum, therefore there must be some other reason for the dissatisfaction that exists. Yes, "if news is scarce, give us facts." It is said that the American people thrive on humbuggery. But would they not thrive better if they were humbugged less. It has not been a year yet since the Cahill plow and car nage company beat the farmers of Webster and adjoining counties out of thousands of dollars by putting on them an almost worthless article for more tlian three times its value, and they are again ready to be humbugged. Farmers, let us bo on the look out for this sleek tongued gentry and when they approach us with their worthless trash, let us tell them to seek victims elsewhere, or go to the country that is hotter than this.

Oh, you miscreants, who have covered your conciences and imaginations, who have fattened with the devil of selfishness, who have scraped all the goodness out of yourselves ! Oh, you whose souls sit down on the dunghill of filth, are you a generous as you started if you say of a man who has been generous and died poor, "If he had been as care ful as I, he would not have died so ?" Yes, he lost his money and saved him self, while you have saved your money and will be damned. There are multitudes of men like dandelions. At first, they "look like uiBKg 01 goiu, ana alter a lew days' a puff will destroy them, and no one knows where (they were. What lfves such, men live; such utter absence N of heroism. How came such heathen in the Church? The rich man with ware houses, power in the' market with no true soul power, is like a huge black spider, hungry, though big bellied, sucking all dry who come to his web.

Webster is the. seventh county west of fhe Missouri Biver in the southern tier of connties. It is 24 miles square, has sixteen townships, and contain3 an area of 576 square mile. It is bounded on the north by Adams, on I the east by Nuckolls, ond the west by Franklin county, in Nebraska; and on' the south by Jewell and Smith coun-" ties in Kansas. In 1870 it had a! pbpu-" lation of 16. It was organized in 1871, aud in 1880 had, accofdfng to the gov-' ernment census; a poptrTafion of 7,104. Itis believed that at this ime it has a' population of lO'.OOO. Ii is one" or tire best watered counties in the State- The Republican river runs through the entile connty from west to east, at an average distance of about five miles" from the Kansas line. From the north are eleven streams of living water, flowing from eight to twelve miles in to the Republican river, and twelve from the south. These brooks are fed by never failing springs, so the water,, is clear and cool all tmUime. Oh the banks of these streams grow more -or lees timber which, but for the prairie fires, would be luxuriant and abund-" ant. The principal varieties are wal- nut. oak, ash, elm, cotton wood and box elder. There has been quite a" growth of red cedar, but it has beeir mostly cut off or destroyed. In some' places timber is quite" plenty yet. and with care will be sufficient tor home consumption. On the upland, ana4 wnere the timber has been destroyed on the streams, our farmers are plant ing and cultivating groves of timber which, in most-places, are doing excel lently, and which are now a great pro tection and in a few years will be suf ficient to supply all demand?. If those" who have timber will use it pWdently and savingly, and those who have' none will plant and cultivate thoso varieties that grow best here, Webster County will soon have timber enough and to spare. The general surface of the land is undulating. Back from the river a few miles the land is "quite5 level, while along the streams the land issomewhatljrokenbutthe soil is of the very best quality and produces alt kinds of grain in abundance when well cultivated. The bottoms are of the" alluvial soil, and the vegetables and small fruit grown in if can't he excelled" anywhere. We are in the right lati tude. Our climate is as good as Amer ica affords. Our winters are dry and pleasant, and our summers balmy and cool. Our peoplo are industrious and prosperous, and stand ready to wel-" come and assist all new comere. Come' one. come all, and live in a land that "floweth with milk and honey." t " The Bloomington (111.,) Pantograph pertinently icmarks; "There is one phase of instruction in which our pub lic schools seem to be lacking. We al lude to the manly deportment which boys should be taugnt to observe to-' ward girls. There is a certain rude-" ness and coarseness noticeable jn the" t treatment of little girls by many boys' ;" while at play, or while going to and' from school, that is shocking. They' I rff are forced into scuffles against their' ' '. will with boys of superior strength, are " '' kicked and cuffed, thrown to theV ' ' ground, and pelted with snow balls :' and often compelled to listen to Ian- guage that mantles their cheeks with . y shame. It has ever been an objection i to our public schools that they bring . 'z the children of all classes together; the" - .'! ', - y Vulgar' and the vicious with those of' jr:!-f , nicer sentiment and'training, subject--. r -ing all to the evil influences and exam-: -j? pie ot a part Many parents have felt -t that they imperil the moral. as well as the physical health of their children . e in sending them to these schools. But they have been willing to- take this risk in view of the general excellence of our school system? as well as their inability to provide private-instruction. Teachers should certainly strive as far as they can to 'remove .this cause ot complaint, and make our schools in every respect as nearly perfect as they are already in some. Boys should be taug to regardythe person of girls as sacred, to treatthem with deference always, and in tvery instance of rude ness toward a girl theroffender; should receivea pumshmentl&afcfiwilj not - 'J!- forget until! he hfSeaaM a fM - Ohio has eoaL in. ttaSM-fAiVM. , eight.COUntMt 'Tut.
