A Time Tor Optimism
H is the quite general belief that the
drouth which ha set in will not be soon
broken in which case there will b a de
cidedly short crop of corn In Epite of
this outlook there is however a large
chance for optimism nnd no one need
fear starvation or bankruptcy if they
have improved the opportunities given
during the past few years The farmers
generally will not make much money
it ik true but that the provident will
hi able to keep even is not doubted by
these who will take a sensible view of
the situation During the last drought
in which Nebraska alone suffered and
which was far more disastrous than
this can possibly be there were a large
number of farmers who were uninjured
and then also were panicky times
when money was scarce Then the
com cured into quite excellent fodder
in the field but that wiu about all the
feed the fArmers had
This yeAr besides having an equal
chauce to secure an abundance of fodder
iu the same manner there is an excel
lent crop of hay a fair harvest of small
grain and the money market and
finances generally appear to be firm
Most farmers have secured good prices
for Abundant crops during the past Eev
erol seasons and have made money
What they possess this year will be
worth more than in many years It is
therefore a time of optimism and not
pesfimism Among tho fArmers The
season may not bo as profiperous for
merchAuts And tradesmen but they
will lmve an ordinary demand to Eiipply
Even though there is no moro rain a
generally gloomy view of the conditions
is not warranted
School District FiminccH
The school board of the Norfolk dis
trict has performed n wonderful work
in the interest of tax paying patrons
during the paBt few years and the mem
bers aro certainly deserving of the hearty
commendation of all economy loving
citizens But a few years ago the dis
trict was more than 11000 iu debt the
indebtedness being represented by uu
paid outstanding warrants and the
couditioji was as distasteful to the
teachers and other employes of the dis
trict as to the taxpayers because they
were compelled to pay a considerable
promium to obtain cash This indebt
edness was enough to daunt a br ive
economist and there was a decided in
clinAtion to let things drift And to Allow
the discrepancy to take care of itself
However there were those who re
solved that tho burden should be re
moved And as the district was taxed to
the utmost or rather the levy was
at its maximum limit the only way to
get at it was to economize Fortunately
the district wa9 blessed with a board
capable of doing this very thing and it
set bravely to work determined to ac
complish the desired result
It its offorts to place the district in a
good financial condition tlie members
of tho board lmve been Aided to some
extent by the Amount of fuuds At their
disposal owing to the fact that more
taxes have been pAid than for several
years past but tho main credit is theirs
and their economy was in the largest
degree responsible for the better
financial condition of the district
There were many who averred that
this economy could have no other re
sult thau to impair the efficiency of the
schools and they made dire predictions
to this effect That illusion has recently
been thoroughly dispelled in one
particular at least County Superiu
teudent O W Crum Veceutly issued a
statement of the results of the late
eighth grade examiuAtiouB which is
presented in this issue of Tun News
That statement and table not only
show that the Norfolk scIiooIb have
made a gratifiying iucreAse in efficiency
but thAt they rAuk At the top Among
the schools of the county Reference
to the tAble prepared by Mr Crum will
show that the average of the schools of
this was district 71 in 1897 In 1000 it
went down to 07 and the examintion re-
licentlyheld raises it to 78 Its nearest
competitor was Newman Grove the
pupils of which showed au average of 72
Thii is convincing that teaching has
been carefully and thoroughly accouir
lished
Of course there are many necessities
and conveniences that the schools have
been compelled to do without tern
porarily but in the not far distant
future these will be provided and the
district will be free from debt It is a
pleasing prospect And thoroughly satis
factory to a majority of the patrons

Many of the democratic papers are tak

enthusiasm Mr Bryan may yet con
clude that is the paramount issue

Are being robbed by the protective
tariff He did that once before and
may think the people will forget that
they followed his advice nnd becnine

that Mr Bryan is most versatile and it

WHERE OVER 100 OF THE COUNTRYS
EARLY LEGISLATORS SLEEP
rinrlnl Sltm In Milmrlm tif WnnhlnK

Tree Interment tif ContcriMiuiii
D Ins Awnr from Home
Ou the eastern outskirts of Washing

commons and vacant squares halts at
the edge of tlte marshes of the Ana
costia rive stnuds tie old Congres
sional cemetery with its elghtsaore
cenotaphs uivtnorlnls of departed J
statesmen Yefirs ago the tide of pop
ulation surged westward nnd north
wnrtl overrunning the salubrious high
lands of thoe sections and establish
ing its burial grounds In the new re
gions But this little city of the dead
was left alone In the deserted quarter
with the jail the nlmhouse nnd the
workhouso for neighbors
In it are 100 cenotaphs to dead con
gressmen stretching in monotonous
rows through the cemetery all of them
with two exceptions of n uniform
shape and size and erected nt govern
ment expense to the memory of the
governments dead representatives
Some of the stones mark the actual
burying plue e of the defunct status
men but others like those commem
orative of Henry Clay John Quincy
Adams Thnddcus Stevens and others
merely stand In honor of those dis
tinguished names Since 1S70 the prac
tice of erecting cenotaphs begun iu
170 has been abandoned
When the cemetery was established
In 1S0S its projectors thought It would
be a successful Idea to secure the Inter
ment lu the new cemetery of congress
men who passed away while serving
their country In the then malarial cli
mate of Washington and that It would
give this mortuary site distinction
above ordinary burying grounds
So 400 burial sites were set apart for
the free interment of congressmen dy
ing away from home nnd the place
was named theCongressional cemetery
In those days it was impossible to
transport a body long distances with
out great expense and trouble nnd the
purchasing of burial lots was expen
sive so the privilege thus extended
was readily accepted The funerals
were conducted with imposing ceremo
nies and the departed solons were laid
away with pomp and circumstance in
the spaces specially allotted aud set
apart for them
As methods of transportation improv
ed however with the years and the
families of the deceased found oppor
tunity to take the bodies home for in
terment the practice fell into disuse
and ultimately a law was enacted pro
viding that a cenotaph should be erect
ed in the cemetery to every congress
man who died in the harness and for
a number of years this custom was fol
lowed so that many of the monuments
merely stand in memory of the con
gressmen without actually marking the
burial sites
In 1S75 a law was enacted providing
that no cenotaph should be erected un
less Interment was made in the ceme
tery and there has not been a burial
of a congressman in the plot since that
year
The cenotaphs are plain blocks of
masonry covered with cement to with
stand tho ravages of the elements
Each Is inscribed with the name of tho
dead man the state he represented in
the house or senate and the date of his
death Some of the Inscriptions are
now illegible but the oldest one de
cipherable Is on n cenotaph in memory
of Andrew P Butler a senator from
tho state of South Carolina who died
in 1790 As stated all the cenotaphs
are of uniform size nnd shape except
In two Instances One Is a marble mon
ument to Elbrldge Gerry of Massachu
setts at one time vice president of the
United States and famous In Revolu
tionary history It is a pyramid shaped
pile of marble about twice the height
of the other cenotaphs surmounted by
an urn containing n representation of
nn undying flame The other Is a mon
ument to George Clinton of New York
also vice president of the United StAtea
and active In tho war of 1812
Among the cenotaphs Is one to
a Choctaw chief who the
Inscription states died of croup In the
sixtieth year of Ids age while visiting
Washington In 1S21 Beneath this In
scription Is the statement that the red
chieftain in his last breath desired the
big guns to be fired over him He had
the salute he desired
It might be economy If the govern
ment were content nowadays merely
to honor the departed congressmen
with a cenotaph for the ICO memorials
probably did not cost as much as half a
dozen modern funerals of defunct
statesmen Congressional funerals now
ore elaborate affairs There must be
a Junket with every ceremony The
body Is transported to the home of the
deceased In a special car accompanied
by one or two Pullmans containing a
more or less sorrowing congressional
escort with a well stocked commis
sary of course There are carrlnges
and flowers and mourning and a dis
play of white sashes quite Imposing
Then some day special services are
held lu the house aud senate and the
family of the deceased is present to
hear him eulogized nnd endowed with
more virtues thaif ever they dreamed
in his lifetime that he possessed The
eulogies aro afterward printed In mo
rocco covered volumes and distributed
among the friends and constituents
after which congress deeming that it
has performed Its duty dries Its eyes
