The Board of Regents have nade an order allowing the sup erintendents of the Farmer's In stitutes to hold two short course schools during the coming win ter. Broken Bow can secure one of these schools if the business men and farmers will take hold of the move and show their ap preciation in the matter. If suf ficient interest is shown , a meet ing will be called while the Chau tauqua is id. session.at .which time the Superintendent of the Farmer's Institute will give ati outline of the work proposed and list of subjects from which to se lect a program. The one held at Pawnee City last year proved to be a grand success and resulted in great good to the farmers who attended. We feel confident that the business men of Broken Bow will unite with the farmers of Custer county and aid them in every way possible in securing a short course school to be held here this winter. It is'suggested by Prof. Keyser that there be a committee of ladies present at the meeting held during the Chautauqua so that everyone will have a thorough understanding of the nature of the work. Dr. Clinton Day in Michigan. Dr. Clinton Day , formerly of Broken Bow , who has recently noved to Hart , Michigan , from Salem , Nebr. , writes us in a per sonal letter of June 29th , that 'We have been here about two nonths and like the country fine. Hart is about like Broken Bow and is located ten miles from Lake Michigan. This a fruit country. The farms are all small , averaging about forty acres and many of them are all in fruit. We live within two blocks of the largest canning factory in the world , which we visited last night and saw them canning peas. peas.They cannen 19,000 cases last Saturday - Farmers raise them and haul them in like mown oats and off of land like those sand hills wes of town.

We made a trip to Cripple creek yesterday. Went by way of the Short Line rail road and returned by way of the Colorado Midland rail road and entirely circling the Pikes Peak" mountain , cross ing the great continental divide inrtwo places at 'an altitude of about JJ200 feet. We were in the mining towns of Cripple Creek , .Goldfield , Victor , Anaconda , Altman and Cameron. Cripple Creek is a city of about ten thousand in habitants but each of our party decided we would not want to live there for the best gold mine in the district. The town is situated at just about timber line altitude and we did not see a shrub in the place as much as two feet high and only two yards with grass grow ing thereon and they told us the dirt had been hauled by wagon loads for five miles to put on these lawns. The entire country near this city is covered with rocks. We visited the Abe Lincoln mine and secured some specimens of ore as it was hauled out of the mine. Goldfield is a very prosperous little city and it was at this place where the miners were fortified a few years ago against the regular soldiers at the time of the great strike at which time the depot and other buildings were blown up. The Portland gold mine is at this place and the largest in the district employs eleven hundred men. men.Altman is the highest altitude of any organised city in North America. The scenery between here and Cripple Creek is simply superb. The distance as a crow would fly is twenty-five miles , but by rail road it is about seventy miles. The train travels in all directions and circling mountains and at nearly all times Pikes Peak can be seen from the train. At one time we traveled three miles to gain sixteen hundred feet in distance. At another time when just entering a tun nel our attention was called to look back and we could see two tunnels one where we had just come out of and another in the same mountain which we had just entered. Manitou is a very pretty little city. It does not get warmer than about sixty-six above zero and is always cool in the shade. Very Truly Yours J. M. KlMPBKUNG. On July 4th two-hundred and six ty-six tickets were sold at Broken Bow on the tt. & M. to various places that celebrated. That is not Us large a number sold com paring to prior years. We're Coming Home. j. R. Russom SawQSan Antonio and Graphically Describes it and the Journey Home. We now take up the afternoon trip and take a street car tor the hot sulpher wells. ' Three ar tesian wells in the southern sub urbs from 1800 to 2200 feet deep discharge with a force over 800- 000 gallons each day of hot sulpher waters with a temper ature of 103 to 106 degrees. The wonderfully curative qualities have been amply tested. This water is recommended and seldom tails to , cure goiter , rheumatism , skin diseases , syphilis , stomach troubles , liver and kidney com plaints and many other diseases that battle the skill of the best physicians. lYe grove at the hot sulpher wells contains 30 * acres , and is picturesque in the extreme. At one of these wells nearest the city and reached by the street cars where we arc visiting , a large bath house and comodious hotel have been constructed , in corporating all modern improve ments and fully equipped. The Southwestern hospital for the insane joins the property of the Hot Sulpher Wells Company. It is one of the largest asylums in the state and is most advan tageously located. The beautiful and well kept grounds at and around this place make this a delightful place to visit and give to the visitor a feeling of restful pleasure , much appreciated , especially for those who are seeking for health as well as pleasure. After a stroll of perhaps fifteen minutes , around these beautiful grounds , so artistically arranged and so lovely to bring out the ad miration of the soul to those whose sense of feeling lift their thoughts in ecstay of joy for the living beauty made manifest and pleasing to the eye of the be holder while viewing the elegant uplifting and soul satisfying surroundings , we now board a street car taking us back to the city where we transfer on a car that will take us out to the West Texas Military Academy , a dis tance of several miles from the main part of the city. Here we only stopped long enough to view trie fine buildings at a short distance and see a number of the young men students of the Acad- amy , about 150 of these nicely dressed ) bright , intelligent and fine looking young men march from the Academy building in graceful form and perfect order and board the cars for the ci to their homes arid various stopping places , This was a grand sight 10 see. Such a fine company of The Hesperian Male Quartet. rSS the brawn and brain of the noble youth of our land who arc avail ing themselves of . .the grea.t. privilege of a military course of education and training that will give to each one a disipline of training that will educate , culti vate and bring out by actual and practical demonstrations the best elements of true and genuine manhood of this body of young men , preparing them for high and useful places in .the world * today , calling for young men of character and moral stamina who will be able to cope with the great problems that confront the onward progress of our nation and bring about a more complete and defmatc recognition in the sacred homes of earth in this ad vanced day and age of intelligent thinking men and women that will characterise the homes of our land as the best place to plantger minate and bring to a proper state of development the good seeds that will bring moral worth and a full appreciation of the sacred home and home life which should stand as a citadel paramount above any and every other place in moulding the character and early life of the child for future usefulnessplanting- good seed of patriotism and loyalty in 'the child life that will ripen into fruitful bearing in young iuan- hood and young womanhood , giving to each one a personal responsibility for the lifting up and bettering of the human race the sacrcdness to the loyalty of a law abiding citizenship , vouch safed to each one by the shelter ing arms of the stars and stripes , whose beautiful folds arc kissed by the passing breeaes from every sun-kissed hilltop and shade and shadowy dell in all the vast domain of free America , likewise for the unforgottcn memories of childhood's parental home , that must ever stand the test and future of , hfes struggling years , the one place that , the great storms of life and the vivid , lightning's and thunder's roar of disappointment and sad experience - ' ience as it comes to us , as we travel over mountain top , along ragged cliffs , on the boisterous- waves or in the pleasant vales of flowery woodland and grassy dell that must not and will not be forgotten in the memory of those whose thoughts carry .them back to the days of happy childhood , the sweet abiding influence of the parental home and the fond recollection of mother with her unselfish and undying love. This picture of young man hood as seen in the personality , nf each one and in the aggrega tion of the entire number make a lasting impression on the mem ory of the writer , that will not soon be forgotten. We have another picture that we must give pur readers of equal importance , if not greater in significance. This , to mo , is the Continued on last page.
