Mrs. Z. T. C"nningham of Box
Butte was in town Monday. She
informed us that the reports pub
lished in the Alliance papers con
cerning tho Kroesings wero abso
lutely untrue, that they were both
kind to their children and that
Mrs. Kroesing was almost crazed
with grief over the death of her
! son and that those false newspaper
reports gave Mr. and Mrs. Kroos-
. ing little consolation in their sor-
Jrow. Mrs. Cunningham's report
is corroborated by all tho neighs
bora.

Edgmnont is to have a smeltor,
the capital stock of $300,000 hav
ing been subscribed and work will
commence at once. This means
employment for probably 600
more men in that thriving city and
the farmers of this county will
reap a benefit by finding a closo
market for their farm products.
Edgcraont has secured tho prizo
through tho efforts of that inde
fatigable worker, Mr. Francis 0.
Grable, who always accomplishes
everything he undertakes.
Hon. Willnrd M. Evans, of
Mursland, was in town Wednesday
Mr. Evans has announced himself
as a candidate for the office of com
missioner of pensions under President-elect
McKinlcv and ho is now
buBily ongaged in securing en
dorsements. His application iB
already on file and he has some
vary, strong letters from his old
friend and comrade, Major Mo
Kinloy, and prominent politicians
in this state. Mr. Evans has held
tho office of school Treasurer and
other offices and has always given
universal satisfaction and never
been found short one cent in his
accounts. Ho is a life-long repub
lican who has always worked in
front ranks and it was through his
Herculean efforts that Lawn pre
cinct went republican this fall for
the first tiino in its history. Ne
braska is certainly entitled to
recognition by Major McKiploy
and Mr. Evans should havo tho
place. Mr. Evans also informed
us that he has secured the endorse
ment of every old soldior whom
ho has seen and now if ho succeeds
in getting Chairman Tush's in
dorsement there is little doubt as
to his appointment.

It is suggested that homo study
on the part of pupils will bo to
their advantage and will materially
aid in tho general work, aud to
that end it is recommended and
urged that parents see that their
children do a certain amount of
study at home in tho evening and
morning. Also that their children
spend some time in reading tho
library books which aro distributed
by tho teachers.
