The only company playing Uncle
Tom's Cabin that does not depend on
a street parade to draw a house is'the
one owned by Rusco & Holland.
These managers advertise that they
give fheir performance on the stage
and not on the street. They carry a
full dramatic company , a carload of
tpedial scenery , pack " "of man-eating
blood-hounds , trick donke } ' ! and also
the Original Nashville"Students , a
company of colored singers , dancers
and fun makers. The jpress every
where speak of them in * the highest
terms , and on Saturday. Nov. 10 , at

judge of their merits. ;
Will Parsons passed through here
from Gordon Sunday , bound for Vol-
ney , Va. Mrs. Parsons accompanied
trim this , far and will remain here till
lie returns. Last Friday 'nignt Mr.
Parsons recieved a telegram from
'
Volney which read."Arthur has kill
ed father. Can you come ? " 'The Ar
thur mentioned is Will's half brother
Arthur Gore , formerly station agent
at Wood lake and well known here ,
who went back to Virginia a few
months since to live. There was no
further information , and whether the
[ tilling was accidental or otherwise ,
cannot be told , although no one who
knows Arthur can believe but what it
must have resulted accidentally , as
Mr. Gore was an exemplary young
man , and counted his , , friends by the
number of acquaintances he made.

At no time in its history has the
Farmers'Institute been so well organ
ized as now. It is desired to hold 100
Institutes in Nebraska this year.
This is a large undertakingbut Sup
erintendent Burnett is detemined to
push the matter , and there is"no doubt
but that he will succeed. Much use
ful information will be imported at
these Institutes. No Efarmer stock
raiser , or business man can afford to
absent himself from these meeting ? .
The question , "Does it pay5is prop
erly asked in this day when the battle
for bread is a real conflict.No farm-
t r knows so much about his own busi
ness but that he may learn more *
We ask every reader who can possi
bly attend the Insnitute to do so and
bring your neighbor. The University
is brought to your door * Take advan
tage of the oppurtunity and learn
what is done with the money approp
riated for this purpose. Every sub
ject of interest to the farmer and
stockman will be discussed , Bring
vour pencil and paper. Something
will be said that you'will wlnh/tri re-
mem oer.

A Farmers' Institute will be held in
out city on Wednesday and Thursday
Nov. 20 and 21. No farmer or stock
raiser. can afford to absent himself
from these meetings. Lay aside your
prejudice against the "book farmer'
for he is long dead. The practical
man is the only one who can win in
this day and be is the only one allow

deny himself the pleasure as well as
the privilege of meeting with those

from his. While you are putting
aside some of your prejudice , dispense
with some of that conceit also , and

It is a true saying and worthy- all
acceptation that ' 'To those whom the
mmortal Gods wish to punish they
first allow an interval of prosperity and
mpunity of days. " Therefore let all
El. S. republicans not "glory too in
solently in the victory. "
The class of ' 02 begins to think that
it is a revelation to itself. It can coin
wordsprocure copyrights on originals ,
construct eloquent geometrical figures ,
turu trapizoids up side down and shake
them ; in fact we are almost beginning
to regard those prospective orations
with something like resignation.

We went into raptures over that
scene In Shakespeare ; we felt that it
was glorious and that Shakespeare was
ndeed paragon of writers. We
wanted to elevate him above mankind
on account of it. We had come to the
* *
conclusion that he was more than hu
man ; we turned to th § notes in the back
o > thr book. Alas ! What causeth us to
say "Ugh1 ? " Why tikn ; we up our ps-
ometrys and throw downjour Macbeths ?
This is why ; thtit note in the back of
the book informed us that "this whole
scene was taken bodily from Holm-
shed "
As the seniors filed into the school
room last Wednesday their oyes were
startled by a strange and unusual sight ;
on Miss Cumbow's desk secured by
means of a pin reposed something
wbicn they did not recognize. It had
an antique air and it's mien was dis
tinctly fossiJiferous. It seemed to the
wondering seniors that it was sadly in
need of cremation Viewed in one re
spect it .Deemed to resemble an exceed
ingly Bedraggled specimen of the sun
flower family from last years crop ;
from other points of view it seemed to
partake of the characteristics of an
equilateral triangle topped by a multi-
angular polygonThe seniors vaguely-
felt that there was something familiar
obout this object ; something in its im
probable aspect seemed dimly to ap
peal to them like memories of the long
past and half forgotten days wnen
they were freshmen They sat silent
remiscensinfj aud conjecturing almost
fearing that this was the ghost of some
murdered geometry proposition which
had risen up to leer at them even as the
ghost of Bangno at Macbeth. Then
Miss ( Jumbow entered the room and
suddenly aud simultaneously a great
lisihfc burst in upon the seniors. That
which they saw before them was none
other than a rosette of the class colors
which had been assumed by the class
of ' 01 long ago , when those illustrious
ones had been 10th graders themselves
in the obscure and remote state of
