Better Than Before.
The substantial , well-appointed ele
vator now being built by H.H.Easterday
& Co. to replace the one destroyed by
fire , last summer , shows that the com
pany has both confidence and enterprise.
They are building a better and larger
elevator , which will be equipped with
machinery in a thoroughly up-to-date
manner.
The new elevator will be 34x26 feet on
ground aud 46. feet high ; will be weather
boarded and in every respect finished ii
ubstantiul style.
The capacity will be considerabl-
larger than the old elevator , or aboti
13,000 bushels. An immense pit ha
been excavated under the building fo
wheat ; it is 66 feet from the bottom o
the pit to the top of the elevator.
A hopper scale will be installed here
and the cleaner will be much larger than
was the old one. It is the purpose of the
company to make this a general clean
ing station , and grain will be shipped
here from other smaller elevators owned
and managed by the company to be
cleaned for shipment.
The company is also providing special
and increased facilities for transacting
a retail business.
The foundation of the building is in
seeping with the superstructure ; four
car-loads of Colorado sandstone were
used.
The new elevator will be a creditable
successor of the old one , which it will in
all respects excel.
S. W. Nebraska Baptist Association.
The South-West Nebraska Baptist
association met with the First Baptist
church of McCook , September 21-23.
The association includes eight churches ;
> ut only part of them were represented ,
his year.
Sermons and addresses were delivered ,
during the meeting , by Miss VanNess of
1/lncoln , general missionary of the W. B.
: I. M. society of Nebraska ; Rev. E. A.
lussell , state Sunday-school missionary ;
iev. S. C. Green , district missionary of
he Baptist state convention ; Rev. T. E.
Cimball , pastor of the Baptist church at
Farnam , and Rev. George Scott of Mc
Cook.
The next meeting will be held in June ,
1901 , with the Ash Grove Baptist church
near Wellfleet.
These meetings , though the attend
ance was small , were interesting and
profitable from start to finish , and those
who had the privilege of attending them
were amply compensated for the time
and effort it cost them.
The change of time from September to
June will , it is believed , remove a hin
drance which has hitherto made it im
possible for the representatives of the
missionary and other organizations of
the denomination to be present , and we
shall look forward for fuller and more
profitable gatherings in the future.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
John LeHew of the Twelfth grade had
his nose fractured , Monday evening ,
while playing ball. He was catching ,
when a foul ball tipped off of the strik
er's bat and struck him on the side of
the nose , fracturing the bone of the
nose , bruising the side of his face and
blacking his eye.
The following table exhibits the fact
that the daily average attendance on
the public schools of the state is far be
low what it ought to be. Parents can
doubtless improve this condition of af
fairs , which is a drawback to the highest
efficiency of the public schools :
