K. 356 by Doran of Garfield , Henry of Holt , Metzger of Cher ry , and Wilson of Custer , ap propriates § 50,000 for the purpose of providing every year at least seven months of school in every school district , in the first eight grades. The state treasurer shall pay to each district , which shall have voted a maximum tax leVy authorized by law (25 ( mills ) such an amount as is necessary to main tain seven months of school with a legally qualified teacher at a sal ary of not less than § 30 a month. No district shall receive aid from the state in any one year in excess of § 120 , which amount shall be applied exclusively to the pay ment of teacher's wages.

CoJumnX At the meeting of the Union steps were taken to arrange to use our headquarters for a dining hall for students during the normal. On account of the address given by Mr. D. Burr Jones on Sunday afternoon and which was highly appreciated by all who heard it , the meeting which was called for those who hold contest medals of any kind , was interfered with so we urge all these to be present at the M. E. church on Sunday p. m. at half past three o'clock. Mrs. Hornby having been dele gated by the state officers to at tend the Union Temperance Con ference which will convene May 9th and 10th , left for Council Bluffs Tuesday to spend a day with Mrs. Denny , going to Lincoln on Thursday morning. LIQUORS LAWS OF NEBRASKA. Laws are weapons. Two gener al kind of each. Offensive and de fensive. The sword , -offensive : the shield defensive. The law that punisheslcriminals is offensive ; the law that protects the helpless is de fensive. As weapons imply conflict , struggle , WAE , so laws imply there will be guilty ones to punish and helpless ones to protect. Law , in a measure , anticipates crime no horse stealing , no laws needed against it. There being suclr laws proves that horse thieves are not all dead yet. So with the liquor business. Having restrictive liquor laws , brands the business as criminal. There are FOUR general laws in Nebraska , designed to regulate , govern or restrict the sale of li quors.
