VOLUME XXV.
RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA. JULY , 1897.
NUMBER 2"
County Institute.
With an enrollment of ninety eight
the Webster county Teacher's Institute
closes It second week. Every mem
ber teems to be alive with enthusiasm
and interest.
Ailtbe ministeis of our city have
held devotional exercises in the morn
ing, thus instilling a spiritual as well as
mental drill Into the minds of our
teachers. Another noticeable feature
of the Institute is th frequency of vis
itors and reporters.
L. P. Albright of this city conducts
flinging every morninK and afternoon,
ills position as instructor is a difficult
one when you take Into consideration
diverslbility of his hearers somo can
icad notes, som'd not, some can sing,
and somo cannot but nil arc bencllted
considerably.
Dr. Bowlus In bis Instruction Is fieo
and easy und for real interest and solid
common sense shown in his didactical
work has probably no equal hero.
A. K. Tope's source method in his-
toty and civil government nas met
with a decided success. His physi
ology class is making deep research
in the anatomy of the brain and nerv
ous system.
Mrs, E.J. Case in her amicable way
is developing a very active and w'.de
awake olass In arithmetic. In her ad
vaaced work in first grade studies the
teachers are deriving much benefit.
la the primary work the mim of Mrs.
Jt.F.Taekerhas been to present the
sfjfecalt subject from the standpoint
of a oaM ' This Is the line of the meet
dvaaeed eduoelenS)VtlMiM the
4ft. It la the Mission of the Most
progressive teacher, in any grade, to
ascertain how the clrild may best be
helped to a higher intellectual and
aytritnat development.
In numbers the "Spier Method of
Arithmetic," nor attracting so much
attention, is Inbght.
In gmgraphy ami language the
'toacuei sire shown by actual lessons
how to begin their teaching with the
child's knowledge already acquired.
The laigest class in the Institute is
tho drawing class. This Is tnught by
theory and practice combined; the
Teacheis diaw olels and then do

Bunt. Hunter Is wisely giving a pi aml
ncnt plawn to "beginners" in all
branches. In this he Is following the
practice of all first class insliuctois
It is no longer thought that "anyone
can teach little chlldiou." I'o llmm
should come tbo best iu art, litciaturo
and science pibsonted by a practical
hand, guided by a cultivated mind
and doop spitiUiality. Hut theru is oho
thing wo do not fully undeistand and
that is how any teachw can rigidly in
sist on punctuality in the school and
thou continually come straggling in
long after the othcis are at wotk.
The outline fbr this year's reading
circle is as follows; Source method iu
history, child study and studies in
literature. The official organ of the
state will be the North Western
Monthly iu which certain places will
be"dcvpted to these different lines.
i .
Tired people are tired beceuse they
kave exhausted their strength. The
oaly way for thtui to get strong is to
eat proper food.
But eating is not all. Strength
comes from food, after digestion. Di
gestion in made easy with Shaker Di
gestive Cordial.
People who get too tired, die, Life
is strength, Food Is the maker of
strergtb. Food is not food until it is
digested.
Tired, pale, thin, exhansted, iick
sufferers from indigestion, can be
eured by tbo use of Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
It will revive their spent energies,
refresh and invigorate them, create
aew courage, endurance and strength,
all by helping their stomachs to digest
their food.
It aids nature, and that ta tho best of
1t. Itgiyes immediate relief and, wiih
pereevevenoe, permanently cures,

All the People
Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the
blood is impure and impoverished
diseases of various kinds are almost
certalu to result. Tho one true blood
puritier is Hood's Sarsaparilla. By its
power to purify and vitalize the blood
it has proved ilMdf to be the safeguard
of health, aud the record of remarkable
cures effected proves that it has won
derful power over disease. It actually
aud permanently cures when all other
prepaiaKons fail to do any good whatever.

The Fourth of July.
The gloiioiu foitli has come and
gone and Red Cloud hud iHfiill sbaio
of celebration With tho early morn
ing tho tiling of ci ackers comaiuuced
and was kept up iucexsnntly until late
into tint night. The ornwd was one of
thulaigest that ever atteuded a cele
bration iu this city and oreryoue ap
peal ed well pleased with a good day's
spoit. The oration was delivered at
tlin com l house giove by Elmer U.
Uverman of Watikegau, Illinois. Mr.
(), is a very able orator and command
ed the strictest attention oi tho large
crowd for over an hour, during the de
Hvmv of his speech, The music fur
nished by the young ladies'iiMartetwas
well received, being of the patriotic
kind and calculated to arouse patriot
ism In the hearts of both old and
young America Tho Modern Wood-
men captmed the prize of a large
tlfteeu foot Hag, offered for tlie largest
delegation fiom any civlo society,
which was presented to tlipiu in a very
neat and titling speech by Randolph
McNitt. After dinner tho sports in
dulged in on the streets, especially the
water light, caused much amusement
lor the crowd and a couple of black
eyes to the participants, when thoi
streams of water hit them. After the
water light the fire alarm was turned
in and a run made to avbuilding north
of the Hi email's ball whloh had been
tilled with hay, saturated with kerosene
and set on tire. Uwlog to the liborrl
amount of kerosene need the boys had
hard w.irk to save even the charred
boards of the walls, aud had the lire
been started a little sooner would have
burned up before the hose team could
have arrived. In the oveulng the S.
tif V. baud gave one of their usual
first class concerts after which the lire
works were shot off and thus ended
another celebration of our nation's In
dependence. Dancing at the bowery
was kept up until the wee ama hours
aad everyone returned to their homes
with tho avowed intention of celebrat
ing again in lite future should they
get a chance.
