They believe that the program will be interesting and helpful , not only to teachers , but school officers , partrons , and all other friends of education as well. School Oflicers and Patrons are especially invited to attend. In fact , these meetings are held in the interest of the children. The school will be given the benefit of what the teachur gains during the meeting. Hule 10 of "Rules and Regula tions" adopted by "School Offi cer's Association" Aug. 7 , 1005 , in accordance with Sec. 3 , Subd. f ) , School Laws of Nebraska : must attend the meetings of the Richardson County Teacher's Association , unless it is abso lutely impossible to do so and the- are hereby given penuis- sion to dismiss school Friday alternoon if necessary , in order to attend , and they shall not be required to make up this half day. " Teachers , the County Asso ciation meets but twice a year. All successful teachers fully realize how necessary it is to attend teacher's meeting and take an active and willing part in the work. In ' 'fact , this is a part of what yon own your pro fessional friends. Some will make great sacrifices to attend , and expect you to be here. It you are a beginner , come testate state your difficulties , and give those who have already been over the ground the pleasure of helping you. If you have had experience , 3011 ought to be present for the purpose of as sisting others. Again , no one is too old to learn. "If every teacher could see his duty in these meetings it would do more than anything else of which I know to awaken interest and elevate the whole body of teach ers'1 Come prepared to say something. Let us have a pro fitable meeting. ENTEUTA1NMKNT. Many of our teachers have friends and acquaintances with whom they will stop. To accommodate teachers , the National Hotel ha made a rate of $1.50 per day ; City Hotel $1.00 ; Farmer's Hotel SI. 00 ; the the Lindell 80c. Falls City has several good restaurants and private boarding houses. During the association , a port folio tor preserving exhibit work will be give each teacher for his school.

No. 3 , Marie Grotty , teacher Our attendance is good and we have had no tardies except - cept during the time so many bridges were out. Our new books , pencils , tablets , writing and drawing materials facilitate good work. A new book case , now shelves , a new set of clothes hooks and an erticicnt corps of monitors keep all our , belongings in good order. Our | new window guards are parti cularly dear to the hearts of the ball players and our fine new bell summons ns every day to a pleasant room where three dozen orderly interested child ren make teaching a real pleas- ure. Dist. 00 , EdTvard Hodapp , teacher We now have a total enrollment of 41. Everything is moving along smoothly and rapidly. Intesest continues to increase as we enter into the deeper parts of each subjest. Dist. 41 , Jennie Gavattteach er We are getting along nicely with an enrollment of 15. Dist. 02 , Trcd G. Arnold , teacher -We feel that our school is doing splendid work. The interest among the pupils is good apparently all are enjoy ing themselves. A basket ball team has been organized and each noon finds the pupils en gaged in a hotly contested game. We have a number who are exceptionally good in writing and drawing , while others are doing most excellent work in other branches. Our library consists of fifty- four volumes and along with this we have a neat little case for the books also a larger one for text books and much other good school equipment. The school board is making some much needed repairs in the way of putting in window glass , fix ing the coal house and other things. Our first program was given Oct. ly preparatory to a public program which we hope to give in November 28th. The proceeds for this will be used in procuring a map of the world which is our greatest need at present. The enrollment is now twenty one with perhaps tour or five to be enrolled later. So far as we know there nre no pupils in the district between seven and fifteen years of am' , who are not attending school now. Tnere has been a noticeable decrease in absence thi.s month , res trie , tion having been placed upon this and iliey are quite certain to be less hereafter.Ve have a news report every Tuesday and the i tutus are published in the Humboldt Leader and a reading spirit is thus aroused among all the pupils.

Miles Will CasTto'be Retried. The supreme court reversed the judgment of Judge Thomp son , denying a new trial in the Miles will case , at its sitting ast February , and immediate- y afterwards Joseph 11. Tiles , the principal claimant of the estate of his father , filed a mo- .ion for a rehearing. The court ordered the motion argued in June last which was heard very shortly before the adjournment : or the summer vacation. T. J. Mahoney of Omahs nrgued the notion on behalf of .Mr. J. II. .Miles and by Mr.Vebster on ) ehalf of the contestant heirs. The case has been held under idvisement until the eighteenth of the present month when the court announced that the motion 'or rehearing was over-ruled. That brings thecaseback to the listrict court of this county for re-trial of th'e case proper , riie community generally seems to have lost track of the contro versy , and it is in order to state .he facts concerning its history and present status. Stephen 3. Miles , well known to the old settlers of Richardson county , lied in this city on Oct. 30 , 1808 , laving a rather larger estate for his part of the country. He tad no constant place of resi- lence. though he had a farm called "Miles Ranch" < m the South fork of the Nemaha , vhich he called his home but of ate year * he did not stay there ill the time. Hepasvd his win- ers at the St. .fames hotel in St. Louis and his summers no.stly at the Union House in this city , and at which place he lied as above slated. During the summer proceeding his loath he told numerous persons lie had made a will in Rl Louis ind also told many things con tained in it. It was also known that he had made several other wills during the last twenty years ol bin life. After the death of his father , J. 11. .Milesgave out that he had discovered the will of his father in an old satchel in the room where the did irentlcn.an died , and he at once deposi , ) * . ) it in the county court and in due course of law procured a judg ment of probate establishing it as the last will and testament of his father. That will was made about ten years before the death of the testator , and practicallyl nave his son Joseph all his estate. Sometime afterward a proceed ing was commenced in ihe county court to M-t as de the judgment of probate , on the ground of fraud practiced by the. principal legatee and on the further ground that a later and ditrerent will had been made at St. Louis. The case was heard in the county court and the prayer of the petitioners de nied. An appeal was taken to the district court and heard be fore Judge Thompson of the Grand Island district and again decided against the contestants , then an iippeal was taken to the .Supreme court. Pending this hist anpeal the contestants discovered the man who wrote the St. Ijonis will , and at once filed a petition in the district court for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evi dence material to the issue and which they were unable to dis cover and produce at the first trial. Pending the application for a new trial the Supreme court passed on the appeal from the judgment of the district court , deciding that whereas there was sufficient evidence to * , prove the execution of the St. Louis will , there was not enough to show that that will contained a clause expressly revoking all other'wills made by the testa tor , and on that ground affirmed' the judgment ol the court below. The case then stood on the pro. ccediugs for a new trial as above stated. It must be re membered that the St. Louis' will could not be found by the contestant and produced to the court. Testimony was taken by the respective parties in the pro ceeding for a new trial , and was hoard by .Judge Thompson , who in December 100 ! ! , denied the prayer of the contestants. That case was appealed to the Supreme court , was argued and submitted at the last sitting of the court in June , 1001 and in the following February 1005 an opinion was rendered reversing1 the judgment below and ordering \ ing a new trial as prayed for. Subsequently counsel for Joseph - eph II. Miles filed a motion in the Supreme court for a rehear ing of the case , and on the 18th day of the present month that motion was overruled and the case now comes back to the dis trict court for retrial ; and it now stands precisely where it did when appealed from the the county court over six years ago , with this difference that every legal proposition has been settled by the Supreme court in favor of the contention of the contestants. Both the district and Supreme court have found as a fact , that testator Miles did make a later will than that produced by Joseph H. Miles under which he claims the estate. The case will now pro- reed much more rapidly than it las done before. A Big Sheep Deal. ft may not be generally knows hat sheep raising is an import- int industry in Richardson coun- y , but such is the case , especially n the west part of the county , Lastviitcr in the vicinity of Humboldt alone thirty thousand load of sheep wore foil and the 'coders realised a threat profit. This year Power Bros , of Hum- bnidt are tfointf into the sheep feeding business on u bin scale and have prepared foeil lots and sheds for twenty thousand head of shrcp. The principal lots and sheds are near the depot at Hum- bolclt und the other lots are con venient to that market. This week a special train of twenty- nine cars arrived consigned to them from Wyoming ami thisbi ' shipment was made without the loss ol a single sheep. | TUO1)0 ! | | pB Could Not be Uutlcr.
