-Jj's; THE RED CLOUD CHIEF BED CLOUD, KEB., AUGUST, 1891. -SUPPLEMENT. rv S& 4 L .- Pv t IW rCK, m y is i. - V . GREETING To our friends, greeting and the friends of iho Western Norma) College, i tats great Western country, are numbered by the thousands, who always taw the; Influence aid personal efforts to Increase the prosperity and usefulness of it. 1 these frlvnd& we are proud to say that the past year has been the grandest year the school, and already we are assured that greater and grander remits wK crown the labors ut the coming yenr. The reasons for this are many. We challenge successful contradiction when we say we hare the Baar Facult) fable and experienced teachers in the West. A- SOU11CE OF PLEASUKE ' . We hare devoted our time, energy, labor and means to establish a school, fv the poor young men and women of the Wet, that would have standing among th. mcators of the country, and we are gratified at the recognition that college me county superintendents, public school men, as well as our thousands of patron have given us. Our etudeuls love their college home, and hence we are surrounded by a grea aetwork of busy workers, drawing hundreds of others to their Alma Mater, anc these, ouce here, In turn become workers, and so the good work goes on and on. fJT The school Is practical and meets the demands of the times, hence thi Urge attendance. fjf- The work Is thorough, the courses comprehensive, hence the saccea of ill students. t2TEvery minute of time is usefully employed, recitations are fifty minute leng, and the calendar school year is twelve school months, or forty-eight weeks. Consequently as much can be accomplished 1b this school in one year as can be accomplished at other schools in two years. raj The expenses are less at this school for twelve months than at most schools for nine months. rjr The student whose life Is earnest, whose time is nssmey, and whose future is in his own keeping, does not care 'for three or four months -vacation in a year. He prefers to spend the time In hard study and earnest application, and thereby complete as extensive a curriculum in little more than one-half the time. I3T I -now this to be a fact, that our graduates have made fi-om four to txcthe kundred dollars in the length of time that would have elapsed after they had com - pletd the work here and bofore they had completed the same work In other colleges, that do their work more slowly but not mow thoroughly than ours. J3f- Our curriculum embrace: everything necessary, nothing useless; that there are broader, higher fields of knowledge that we can lead you through is tree, Wt ft k also trus that h weald take years of time aaa" tkooaaads of doi. of Baoasy te acquire this knowledge la the aigaer acaoois ox learning. HT There is ene fact la connection wita we weateni ormai vouogo ui Is W almost inestimable value to the student. We not enly teach you facts, Vat we also teach you how to think, .how to study. tST We have special classos preylded for the thousands of young men and women who have not the time no money to enter -our. regular courses, but yet who want tpccial vxirk on tptcial nubjects and desire to spend a few months for this purpose. These classes are under the car of able educators specially trained for the work. HTWhat you leara at the Western Normal College will not have to be vadone at a great sacrifice, of time and money. This is a point that student seeking schools to attend should not overlook. Hr We believe the student who considers the above carefully, will choose the, Western Normal College as the place to secure hit education. ellan WHERE TO SEND TO SCHOOL IjftVfERY PARENT SHOULD READ THIS ARTICLE CAREFULLY C LOCATED THB WKSTSBK MORMAL COLLBOB IN SHENANDOAH, IOWA The eaeaUea that fivM the aareaU the noit taxfetr I the great problem of M Where shall W aad oar ehlWrea te CoUecef" We harewlth append coploue extract from what aaaaef UW mael aenlnent educators tn the country hve said on the object recently.

Numerous changes in the matter of securing homesteads on government lands were made by the last Congress, the most important amendment being in the following language: "Every person wno is the head of a family, or who has ar rived at the age of twenty-one years, and is a citizen of the United States, or who has filed his declaration of intention to become such, shall be entitled' to enter one quarter-section, or a less quantity, of unappropri ated public lands, to be located in a body in conformity to the legal subdivisions of the public lands; but no person who is the proprietor of more than one hundred and sixty acres of land in any State or Territory, shall acquire any right under the homestead law. And every per ... immigrants arrive, and Is to conduct a careful inspection of all new-comers. Those who are not entitled to enter, may be shipped back on the steamer which brought them, at the ex pense of the steamship com pany. Steamer companies are forbidden to offer inducements to whole sale immigration, except bj ad vertising their ordinary facilities of transportation. Prohibition is also put upon the encourage ment of immigration by prom ises of employment in this coun try; but this does not apply to State Immigration Bureaus who desire to induce immigration to their respective States. The classes of aliens who arc to be excluded frra admission into the U&.Mid States, aside from Chinese laborers, who are cov ered by special laws, are: All idiots, insane persons, paupers, or persons likely to become a public charge; persons suffering from a loathsome or a dangerous contagious disease; persons who have been convicted of a felony or other infamous crime or of a misdemeanor involving moral turrjitude: Tjolvgamists; and also I any person whose ticket or pas sage is paid ior wuii tue money of another, or who is assisted by others to come, unless it is affirmatively and satisfactorily shown, on special inquiry, that such person does not belong to one pf the foregoing excluded classes, or to the class of con tract laborers excluded by the act of February 26th, 1885; but this section shall not be held to exclude persons living in the United States from sending for a relative or friend who is not of the excluded classes, under such regulations as the Sccre tary of the Treasury may here after prescribe: Provided, That nothing in this act shall be con strued to apply to, or exclude persons convicted of a political offense, notwithstanding that the said political offense may be designated us" felony, crime, infamous crimi), or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude" by the laws of the land whence he Alabama tjsfoBtana..

When the Civil Waf broke oat, the Federal Government foaad that it needed an im mense amount of money to carry oa military operations. In or der to secure the needed sum, the unusual method of levying a direct tax was resorted to. In many cases, the various States aawaaaed tke direct tax which tke Government placed on indi- vidaal citizens. This was the case in .Michigan. She paid about 1500,000 into the Federal treasnry as a means of carrying on tke war. Other Northern State did the same thing. After thirty years, Congress has now decided to pay back to the Northern States the amounts which they had respectively con trasted for prosecuting the wsr. Michigan gets back her $500, 000; New York gets about $3,000,000. The total amount refunded to the Northern States will reach the neighborhood of $16,000,000.
