South- arcl of Ansley arc in the city today - ' day trying to find some means ot si'ltling a light over the school , in district No. f > 7. Mrs. Kav Jones , who taught the school last year , wan hired again this var by Director S. C. Thompson and Treasurer Lewis Ktilhauek. Moderator U. ( } . Brown objected to hireing her and reused ! to sign the contract. A petition asking Hie school hoard not to hire her was then circulated and twenty-two people in the district signed it. A part of these , so the friends of Mrs. Jones claim , were not school patrons. About this time Di rector S. C. . Thompson resigned and moved to S u 111 n e r. Kulhanek and Brown , the two remaining members of the board appointed T. N. Southard to fill to vacarcy. Southard joined with Brown and wanted to hire another teacher but the contract had been signed by the Director ami Treasurer thus making Mrs. Jones legally entitled to teach the school. Mrs. Jones has taught the school now for about a month despite the efforts of Brown and Southard to secure a change in teachers. About nine pupils have been attending the school C3r Republican Candidate for County Attorney and the parents of about twenty- nine other children of school age refuse to allow their child ren to attend. Under ordinary circumstances perhaps fifteen of these twenty-nine would .attend. Brown and Southard have made two previous trips to Brok en Bow to get Superintendent Pinckney to interfere in the light and settle it , but the Coun ty Superintendent says that there is nothing that he can do. They base their objection TO her on the ground that she does not keep order in the school and Pinckney advised them to go to her and lay down a reasonable set of rules for the government of the school and then if she refused to enforce these laws it would constitute a legal cause for dismissal. Brown and South ard say that they went up to the school house last Tuesday to take up some supplies and to dis cuss with her the question ol some rules for the maintainauce of order. When school closed , instead of taking up the matter with them , Mrs. Jones went home and left them. On an other .occasion they claim that their efforts to get a hearing I have on , my Eanch eighteen miles south of Broken Bow 100 head of well "bred Hereford Cows ranging from three to seven years old. These cows are not registered herefords but they are the product of fourteen years of my careful hand ling and "breeding. I started my present herd in 1894 with a fair grade of Hereford ! Since that time I have tryed in "breeding and handling my cattle to constantly raise this standard and have for ten years ken "breeding to pure bred Here ford bullsFor Further Particulars see Edwin F. Myers or the Editor of the Republican. JOHN E. MYERS were unseccessful and they uoti- led her to quit the school. Mrs. Jones' friends say that ihc taught a good school last fear and that the oposition to icr now is due to personal mo- .ives. J. B. Jones , since Brown mil Southard notified her to quit he school , called Southard out of us house and threatened him jcrsonal violence unless he al- owed his daughtor-inlaw , Mrs. lay Jones , to go ahead with the cliool unmolested and he has ilso notified Brown that he must > c more careful. Superintendent Pinckney has -.uggested a compromise , which was agreeable to Brown and Southard , and he will meet Mrs. fones , the teacher , in Ansley omorrow and try and j > et her to igree to the compromise. Traveling men for Taft. One of the many traveling uen who visit Broken Bow in talking over the political bitu- ition with the editor said that ic did not see how Nebraska could go for Bryan or how he could possibly be elected presi dent. He has been all over the state and he said that he found four-fifths of the business men were for Taft , many of then being Democrats who were afraid to risk a change at this time. Almost a Blaze. Friday afternoon the straw and trash in Ira Glaze's barn yard on the north side caught fire from sparks from a passing train and for a few moments it looked as though his barn would go up in smoke , but willing hands and the fire company soon had it out. There was a strong south wind blowing and had the barn caught fire there would have been no saving it and pos sibly several more buildings in that section of the city. Winter in California. Mrs. M.
