Parents whoso children are entitled to high school privlU'jrcs and who de sire such privileges for next yoar.must make application to the comity super intendent onor before the second Mon day of .lune. In order to enter the ninth grade, the pupil must have completed the course of study for the tlrst eight grades, and must have a certificate signed hy tlie county superintendent. Pupils who have been admitted to the high school without such certificates are not en titled to free high school privileges un til the requirements of the law are met. Kor entrance to tb tenth, the elev enth, or the t jrades, the pupil ' must have a cert to signed by the county supcrinteiuiciu that he has com pleted the work of the preceding grades and is unable to secure the work of the desired grades in the district of his residence. To provide for the tuition of non resident pupils, the law provides that the district in which the pupil resides shall pay to the. high school district in which the pupil attends school the sum of 7. cents for each week's attendance. If a school district fails to vote the necessary tax, or the district board fails to make th ne'essary report to the county superinteii .cut, it becomes the duty of the superintendent to make and deliver such repoit to the county clerk, who will make the required levy, the same as though the tax had been voted at the annual school district meeting. Application blanks are now at the Miperintendent'sollice. and will bo fur nished upon request. i,. .rf&?rnnder Walker. Ali'viiiiiler .Vnlki!i'. one. nf the pioneers of Webster county, died llt his home in this city last Saturday, at the ripe old age of s'.i years. Fun eral services were held at his late home on North Seward street Sunday afternoon, conducted by Itev. A. A. Cressinan, pastor of the Congregation al church, and the remains were fol lowed to the lied Cloud cemetery by a large number of friends and relatives. The casket was of the McKinley tie sign and was literally covered with beautiful floral offerings. Alexander Walker was born in Tren ton, X. J., July 17, 1SI7. He was married November :t0, lx,i. in Illinois, to Miss Flecta Matthews. To them live children were born, of whom three are still living and were present at the funeral. Mesidos his three children, Mr. Walker is survived by his widow who is in rather feeble health. The mourning family have the sympathy of the entire commu nity in their bereavement and sorrow Why They Close Early. We heard one of our farmer friends complaining Tuesday evening because he could not get. into a grocery store at S o'clock 'in the evening. Do said that 'unless the Hcd Cloud merchants kept open later so the farmers could come into town to trade in the even ing, they would go to Cowles, (J aide Hock and other small towns to make their purchases. It is fortunate that very few farmers take this view of the situation. Most of them realize that after a clerk has worked In , a stuffy store from 0 in the morning until 7::to at night he needs a little fresh air. The farmer, who works in the open air all day long, does not realize how uuhealthful and confining is the work in a store. Store work looks easy. but it is much harder and far more uuhealthful than either farm work or day labor. Thank You. Our first year in business ended May 21. 1007.

It is highly probable that in the near future the road leading in from the south will be placed in better condition than it has ever been. L. It. Wetherald, a Hurlington claim agent and freight solicitor, was in the city yesterday, and in company with C. 'if. Miner, l- W. Cowden, .1. !'. Kd wards and W. II. Taber, made a thirty mile trip through the country south of us. The trip convinced him that unless something was done the HurliugJon would in time lose nearly all of the freight hauled out. of this territory, (train and hogs that would naturally come tolled Cloud are going to Lebanon and Kbson, where they are shipped over the I lock Island.

"Farmers" Holton I.ctson, ."'red Temple and Kdgar Cowden shipped their fat cattle and hogs to the Kansas City market Sunday, and they went along to see that the livestock got safely to market. They all got home safe, but it is said that Kdgar came near meeting with a serious accident at Wymore. Ho noticed that one of the steers looked hungry, so he went to the lunch counter and got a ham sandwich to feed the famished animal.

Candidates for judge are bobbing up all over the district, and many good men are mentioned for this important position. Webster county also lias a man who is well qualified to fill the position. We refer to K. l Overman of this city, former county attorney, and one of the niostsucccssful lawyers in the district. While we have not been authorized to announce his can didacy, wc have no doubt Mr. Over man would be pleased to receive the honor of the nomination and election j to this high olllce He is a staunch Republican and one of the hardest ' dismissed the ease just as County ut workers for the success of his party torney lllackledge made his appear to lie found luiywhcro. Webst r ' ance. Mr IMackledge at. once tie county has never been honored by i tuanded that the case be reinstated and having a candidate for judge, and Wilson's bond forfeited. After con would be in the humor to roll up a I sidcring the matter, Judge Heed coin big majority for a candidate from piled with the demand of the county this county. We do not believe a i attorney, and it is probable that Have better qualified man could be found in the district than Klnior l Over man. District Encampment.
