EXPECT 500 TEACHERS HERE.
Next Spring's Meeting of Northeast
Nebraska Pedagogues.
When the Northeast Nebraska
Teachers' association comes to Nor
folk again next April it will , if the
intentions of the officers carry through
be an even more successful gathering
than last April's convention when 418
teachers registered in Norfolk.
For one thing the association took
steps last spring to strengthen its fi
nances by raising the membership fee
from fifty cents to a dollar. The In
crease will be a slight item in the
teachers' expense account but it will
bring a stronger , better program.
It Is the desire of President Teed of
the association that United States Sen
ator LaFollotte of Wisconsin bo se
cured for the principal evening ad
dress delivered before the convention.
Steps will bo taken to secure the fa
mous Wisconsin senator. Senator Dol-
liver of Iowa delivered the principal
address last year.
One innovation is being considered
this year in connection with the con
vention. It is proposed to hold the
annual high school declamatory con
test on the evening preceding the
opening of the convention. In this
cnso the teachers' convention would
convene Thursday morning and re
main in session until Saturday noon.
Friday morning special attention would
be given to matters touching the ru
ral schools. In this way teachers who
can only get away from their schools
for ono day may still como to Norfolk
and have two days of the convention.
County Superintendent F. S. Perdue
of Madison , who wns president of the
association last year and who arranged
for last year's big convention , has
been in Norfolk this week nnd is en
thusiastic over the prospects of the
association meeting. Where 132 teach
ers registered from Madison county
last year there will bo 150 next spring
the Madison county superintendent
says. Mr. Perdue was succeeded last
spring by County Superintendent A.
V. Teed of Ponca as president of the
association. All things point to the
coming of more than half a thousand
teachers to Norfolk next spring.

busiest nowadays "happen" to bo the

SEVEREST ELECTRICAL STORM

At about 8:30 : , during the most se
vere part of the storm , Henry Peter
son and family were sitting lu the
house waiting for the storm to pass
over when Mr. Peterson noticed three
of his horses run past the window.
Ho wondered how the animals came
to bo out In the storm and looking lo

building to bo in a mass of flames.
Ross Wilborger , who is employed by
Steve Jones just across the street ,
thought the bolt had struck some
where near by and looked out and
saw the smoke already coming out of
the barn. He at once wont Into the
building and turned the horses loose
and was soon joined by Mr. Peterson
and some of the near neighbors , but
they were only able to save a few sots
of harness besides the horses. About
fifteen tons of hay were burned. The
loss is estimated at about ? 1,500 with
an insurance of $500.
