Many new students are planning to enter Dee. 31. The week's vacation seems to be a uiet one at the school; only a good cleaning up and a few changes, that's all. The students say we had the best time we ever had at the social at the eollegfl last Thursday evening. And we are going to have more of them too. Paul S. Dietrick anil wife took Christmas dinner with .Mr. and Mrs. McKimmcy. Yes, we mean to say that Paul S. took a great deal of dinner. They report a very nice time. Vaul S. Dietrich and wife attended a surprise party on Harry Harlow south of the city last Tuesday night. Taffy pulled nicely, the girls laughed gaily and in fact all had a good time. The News Letter editor of Guide Hock sent the school a sample copy of bis nice little paper in which he has a write up of our Husiness College. Mr. IMitor of the News Letter, we are very jfrateful for such little puffs and if Tou Guide Hock people have any young men and women down there who want a thorough business or shorthand education and want to get it for a small amount of money just send them to the Red Cloud Husiness College and we will try and prove that your little write up was not pufEv but facts. We are to become acquainted with the new newsy News Letter and if we have any substantial bouquets to throw around we will remember the News Letter. Last Friday evening was a gay time at Nettie Harvey's school, southeast of Red Cloud. The school gave a very nice program and Mr. Dietrich was there to recite. The basket supper was 6omewhat of a change. The baskets were not sold, but each young lady wan wrapped in a sheet and the hidden treasure was sold to the high est bidder. Numbers were sold to see who was the most popular lady and the laziest man. Miss Hirdic Thornton was the winner of the former well wc won't tell who got the latter. Mr. Dietrick spent the night at Alf. Har ris' home. This home is very beauti fully managed. Each child seems to know how and what to do and likes to do so just for the love of doing so. The first year of the Red Cloud Husi ness College has come to a close. Has it been a success? Who can measure the success of this institution? Can it bo measured in dollars and cents as most of businesses can? Is it as good as other colleges of like courses? Are we doing what we advertise? Think of the 108 young men and women who have enrolled with this institution since its opening only one year ago. Con wc measure the good it has done, when we think of he business men of Red Cloud who have gone down in their pockets to pay the rent,who have spoken a good word at every turn for its advancement, of many others who have urged young men and women to take up work in its courses. Can you measure the good you have done to yourself and to the boy or girl whom you have inlluenccd to better himself or herself? Watch the many students of the- Red Cloud Husiness College as they go among you in their work. 12 of our best school teachers in this county and in other places have stud ied within our walls, 8 of the students are now in business for themselves, 20 are holding positions of trust and re sponsibility In 3 different states, 8 are pursuing new branches of study in other scnools, 34 of these are still within the care of the college. Two of our students have taken to themselves life partners and are now living in peace and happiness. Miss Flossie Opera House, Wednesday, Jan. 2 Porter .

About twenty iruests were present. The happy couple will make their home in Heatrice. The bride and groom are both well known in Red Cloud, where they have lived for many years. Mr. Rife was until recently an emnlove er thing for the manager of a business of studebakcr's transfer line in this college to be full of business, and Pro-' , , h . u removed to fessor Dietrick seems to be that. At any rate he seems to appreciate the value of publicity, and keeps his insti tution prominently before the people all the time through the columns of the home papers. If it is all pay mat ter the newspapers ought to be very grateful, and if it is not, the Professor should be very grateful. The value of the business college proposition all de pends on the man behind the business Heatrice with his mother, where he is engaged in the grocery business.

Coombs, one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, died last Saturday from a stroke of paraly sis which lie suffered Tuesday after noon. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Congregational church. The pastor, Rev. A. A. I'ri'SMiiaii, preached the sermon, taking for his text the fol lowing passage of Scripture, which was found marked and copied by Mr. Coombs in his diary: .hide !M: "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Daniel Stiekney Coombs was born at' Thetford, Vermont, July 11, 18110, where he resided until 27 years of age, and after taking a coursu at the Albany Law School, removed in 1807 to Chicago, where he engaged in his profession until the great Chicago fire, in which he met with heavy losses. From Chicago he removed to Lincoln, Neb., coming to Red Cloud in 1870, where he has since resided. On Sep tember 11, 1882, he was married Ui Miss Emma Isadora Woolley of York, Neb. For a number of years he has been in ill health, and for the past nine years has been an invalid. He bore the long years of sickness with Christian fortitude, calmly awaiting, his Maker's call from earth, which came Saturday afternoon. He is ur vived by his widow, two daughter and one son Alice, Grace and Stiek ney who have the sympathy of the entire community. Andrew Arnold. Andrew Arnold, who was injured a couple of weeks ago by a horse falling upon him, died at his home west of Inavale Monday morning. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the home, conducted by Rev. Williams, pastor of the M. E. church at River ton. Andrew Arnold was born at Toulon, Stark county, Illinois, May 29, 18.17. He came to Nebraska in 1870, and on December 18, 1883, was mar ried to Ada GofT, in Gage county, Professor Dietrick seems to be the officiating. They will make their home right kind of a man, and the business college will doubtless prove to be a great thing for Red Cloud greater even- than a new court house. If we had one or a dozen boys or girls to give a business education, we believe we would as soon risk the Red Cloud institution as many older and more pretentious schools.

Looking west from the intersection of Fourth and Web tser streets, the large cro-s which surmounts the spire on the new Cath olic church glittered in the center of the rainbow like a jewel In a crown, making a very beautiful sight.
