According to the Litchfield
story , the power is reany the
back-bone of the average manure
spreader. It became a serious
quastion as to how little power
can be used and how thoroughly
it can be applied to the meclJan-
ism of the machine.

If our reauers will kindly refer
to the Litchfield story on our 1st
page , they will notice that the
question of power and how to
apply it. has been made a scientific -
tific study on this modern spread-
er. We certainly think it will
be interesting to follow these
articles.

A Broken Bow woman , who is

I ' that usually went mto the

husband tried the plan once , but
after viewing the gashes , parallel -

his face was adorned , informed
his wife that ifshe \ ever again
tried to raise money for the
heathen at the expense of his
countenance there would be still

O. P. Allphin , the Ansley ! I
druggist , spent Monday in tbe

in a case in District court. He
reported business in his home
town as quitc lively this spring ,
freely confessing that there is
not a belter town in the state , of
its sizc , and with every prospect
of a rapid and substantial growth ,
as many new people are coming
there from the cast to permantly
reside.
In moving the pile driver at
work on the Fifth street bridge ,
Monday mor ing , one of the guy
ropes was slackened too much
and that machine topped over
and struck the sput where Mayor
George had but vacated only a
few seconds. It was such a dose
call of either death or being
maimed for life that His Excellency -
lency now watches the work
from a distance-through a
telescope.
Alex Polkinghorn was in Monday -
day from his plantation in Rose

girl baby , Sunday , a the home
of his neighbor and friend ,
Jame Schmidt . , who i5 so happy
he doesn'tl.care if the whole dod-
gasted fruit crop is ruiUl'd since

they were addressed personally

Scott Cooper has the court
house yatd in more than excellent
conditIOn this spring and by
diligence-and accurate aim with
brick bats-has ta g-ht the city
canines to keep off the grass.
Occasionally a dog from the
country visits that part of the
city and discovers that Cooper's
plantation is an excellent place
for a frolic , bu t he no sooner
begins his maneuvers that Scott's
eagle eye ferrets him out and
then there's a "skiddo" address

stine demonstration and that
country cousin steers clear of that

happily surprised by a number of

Railroad Meeting at Westerville.
The meeting held at Wester-
ville last Saturday I fternoon to
consider the matter of building
froll Broken Bow to Loup City
and there connect with the Union
Pacific , was attended by a large
numbcr of citizens and farmers
who feel the necessity of a railroad -
road closer to their farms in
order to market stock and produce -
duce at less cost and thereby be
enabled to save more for their
hard labor than under the present
conditions of having to make
long hauls by team , and the plan
to secure the building of this 45
mile of track is easy and meets
with the favor of most all residents -
dents along the proposed route.
The meeting was organized by
the election of Mr. Mills as chairman -
man an4 Mr. Scott , secretary.
James Stockham , vice-president
of the comsany , stated the object
of the meeting , outlining the
proposed rou te and the proposition -
tion by whica" & it is to be built.
Farmers within seven miles on
each side of the route are aslced
to purchase stock to the amount
of one dollar an acre on all land
owned by them , by which means
$1000 per mile will be raised.
When this is accomplished. cast-
ern capitalists will furnish funds
enough to complete and cquip
the road with rolling stock etc.
There is absolutelr.no question
but that the road will be built ,
yet the line may deviate from the
one now being considered , the
causc for deviation being the
inability of the farmers to come
to the front. Another line ,
along which the farmers are
wide awake and ready to make
good , but not considered as feasible -
ble , will be taken up , if the one
now proposed , is not welcomed
by those who reside within its
limits and would reap th'e benc-
fits of it. .
'l'omorrow afternoon a meeting
will be held at the Knight school
house in Myrtle township at
which Vice-Pres. , Stockham and
Engineer VanAntwerp will be
present. .
On Saturclay afternoon a meeting -
ing will be held at the Downey
school house , Georg-etown , at
which President Great and
Manag r Gandy will be present.
Farmers in the localities where
these meetings are held shquld
not' fail to be present-if they i
want a railroad.

The State Juaior Normal AIIHred.
On Wednesday of this week
County Superintendent Pinckney' '
received a letter from State
Supt. McBrien , calling him to a
Junior Normal conference at Lincoln -
coln , on Saturday , the 27th. Hc
announces that he has sclected n
corps pi seven instructors for the
Junior Normal , but as some of
them have not yet signified their
acccptance , thcir names are not
announced at this time , excrpt
that the position of Principal of
the Junior Normal will be filled
by Dean Charlcs Fordyce , who
has been 'at this place in Institute
work several times.
Thc term will begin June 17th ,
and will continue sevcn weeks ,
including the oue wcek of Insti-
tutc.
tutc.Custer
Custer countv is to be con-
gratulatcd upon securing this
school , as it will afford fine advantages -
vantages for the teachers to improve -
prove themselves in matter and
methods of teaching , and will
besides give a great opportunity
for a large number of our people
who are not teachers.
- It is ; intended to have a seri s
of high-class lectures aud other
entertainmcnts in connection
with the Junior Normal , to
which alt students enrolled at the
Normal will be admitted without
further charge. I
Altogether , it will be a great
benefit to Brolcn Bow , an. to
the county at large , and has been
secured by the energetic efforts
of those who have bcrn actively
interested in the project , aided
by the hearty co-operation of the
county board and of the board of
education of Broken Bow.
They "Played Hookey. "
Monday , April 22 , was decreed -
creed by Governor Sheldon a:1 ! :
Arbor Day and every citizen of
this great commonwealth-know
aud described on the map of the
United States as Nebraska-were
cited to take enough time from
thcir daily avocations to plant a
tree. If they couldn't plant a
trec , plant something-anytll1ng
but weeds.
Monday was a verv much fine
day-in the afterilOon-calcu-
lated to inspire a spring-fever
feeling , especially among students -
dents , who Just couMn't get their
} Uinds off the fact that the
governor had decreed ita holiday -
day , while the authorites of the
Broken Bow City schools gave
the Sheldon proclamation a jolt
by announcing there would be
no cessation of school work in
order to introduce shrubbery to
.BrQken , Bow soil by the pupils of
the city schools.
The conflicting proclamati > us
by the governor and school board
were hastily discussed by members -
bers of the Senior and Junior
classes and the decision reached
that they would stand on neutral
ground and pay respect to each of
the edicts. This was agreed to
bj all of the thirty members ,
except five. Monday forenoon
they perform d school work as
usual , but when time came for
afternoon business only rive members -
bers of the Senior and Junior
classes were in their accustomed
places , and none of the others
appearing , greatly to the chagrin
of the instructor , the " 23" sign
was bung up for the faithful five
and they promptly "skiddoed. "
The whole bunch went out to
the fair grounds to hmtt for
ostrich feathers and wild flowers
and spent the other half of the
holiday very pleasantly. Five
0 : the young ladies continued to
walk as far as Berwyn , 9 miles ,
and returned home on the evening
train , not only a trifle weary ,
but with highly sun-painted
cheeks. I
Would You Take Boarders ? I
Since the State Junior Normal
at Broken Bow is assured , the attendance -
tendance is expected to be far in
advance of any previous Summer
school. It is likely that all
available rooms and boarding-
plac.s will bc needed. If you
have rooms to spare for lodgers ,
or if you will take boarders dur-
ing' the Junior Normal , please
leave your name , address , and all
necessary information , at the
office of th county superintendent -
ent of schools.
