trial.Next
Next Monday Judge Welch will convene <
vono district court in the Madison
county court house. The week fol
lowing the jury will bo called to try
jury cases. It Is probable that there
will be enough motions nnd equity
work to keep Judge Welch in Madison
the greater part of next week.
If any considerable number of the
lury cases listed are ready for trial
when the jury assembles on Decem
ber 2 Madison county has an excep
tionally long jury term In prospect.
The case which overshadows all oth
ers in point of public Interest Is the
murder charge against Herman Bo
che. Unless a continuance Is secured
[ his case will be tried during the ear
ly part of December.
Otherwise the criminal docket is
nearly bare. Three of the "hospital
cases" are still In court for trial foi
no action was taken touching them
since the case against Forrest Ellis
was taken to the supreme court. El
lis was the only man tried at the
April term of court and the state was
unable to secure more than an assault
nnd battery verdict from the jury. El
11s appealed to the supreme court
from the line of $75 on the claim that
the grand jury which Indicted him was
not properly drawn. This appeal is
still to bo acted on by the supreme

Elon , will speak in the Madison opera
house on the proposed library. Tin
library idea originated with the Wo

probably bo started in a room ovei
the Prince block and will be lookec
after by Dr. Baker.
Madison Is still waiting for the com
pletion of its new city hall and fire
house. Delayed material has causet
the delay.
"I have seen and heard of manj
swift towns , " remarked Henry Faes
to a Madison newspaper man , "bul
never in my life have I been In
place where women had to carry ar
alarm clock tied around their wrlsl
as did a Creston lady last Wednesday
in order that she might know when II
was time to cease her trading for the
day. "
"Madison county and north Nebras
ka as a whole never had a more effec
live teaching force than they have to
day , " said County Superintendent Per
due in commenting on educational af
fairs , "and a great deal of credit foi
this condition Is duo to the new cer
tlflcatlon law. This law has proven every
very direct benefit by raising educa
tlonal standards. It has put a premium
on professional work and educational
enthusiasm. Stricter requirements
mean better teachers. "
"In cases of trouble between teachei
and pupil , the teacher Is right nine
times out of ten , " says County Super
intendent Perdue. "In cases of trou
ble between the teacher and superln
tendent , the teacher Is wrong nln (
times out of ten. "

Event.
The flrst Farmers' exchange day to
be hold in Norfolk will be on Wednes

then on will be a regular event on the
first Tuesday of every month in Nor
folk. The object of exchange day is
to assemble all of the farmers from
many miles around who have anything
to sell or trade who wish to secure
anything in exchange. This plan has
worked so successfully In several
other cities of the United States and
foreign countries , that the success of
Norfolk exchange day Is assured. The
project for an exchange day In Nor
folk has been agitated for the past
year or more , and it was only when
a committee of farmers took hold of
the matter and pushed It along that
It became an assured success. This
committee Is composed of Ernest
Raasch , chairman ; Adrian Craig , R.
W. Rhorke , Ernest Melcher , Peter
Bussey , Carl Winter and Fred Terry ,
all enterprising farmers living tribu
tary to this city.
It is Intended to make Exchange
day In Norfolk a bargain fest for ev
eryone. Hundreds of articles of all
descriptions will bo gathered together
here for sale or exchange and the people
ple who come to Norfolk on Exchange
day will be able to pick up a great
many genuine bargains of all kinds.
There will be no limit to class of ar
ticles which may bo traded. Every
thing In the way of live stock , ma
chinery , tools , household utensils , etc. ,
which have no further use for the own
er will be brought to the market and
exchanged to some one who does need
them. Exchange day will be a novelty
in the bargain line never before ex
perienced in Nebraska. Arrangements
have been made with several cattle
and horse buyers to be present at the
Initial day.
Three brass bands will start the
movement off right on Deoember 4 ,
and It will bo made a gala day In Nor
folk , a street parade being one of the
features.
Arrangements have been made foi
the free use of the Slaughter feed
yards for visitors during the day.
Advertisements in The News are
coming more and more to contain
brand new bargain offerings which It
will well pay the thrifty housewives ,
as well as their husbands , to take no
tlco of. In every issue of this papci
there are a number of mighty valuable
bargains offered a number of sugges
tions that will mean dollars and cents
to you. It's more and more worth
your while to read the ads.

In looking around for a piece of land please let us ask you , Is there any
sense In going away out to western North Dakota and Canada on those bleak
prairies , a thousand miles from markets in a country where you know they
are subject to early frosts and those awful blizzards. Last winter in North
Dakota will be remembered for years to come and especially by those pee
unfortunate people living In towns where they did not have a train for nearly
two months. Buy your tickets at your homo station on the first and third
Tuesdays of each month on which date low HOMESEEKERS rates prevail ,
over all roads entering the SOUTHWEST where they have no BLIZZARDS *
and see that It entitles you to passage to FRIONA , TEXAS , on the SANTA
FE , via KANSAS CITY. OUR OWN SPECIAL TRAIN of Pullman cars leave *
Kansas City at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning following the flrst nnd third
Tuesday of each month for FRIONA , TEXAS , where our OWN AUTOMOBILES
nnd carriages meet and transport us to the new town of SPRING LAKE , on
the SPRING LAKE RANCH.
You are Invited to go with us and look over this fine proposition. Wo
show you land In both sides of the Panhandle on the same trip and at the
same cost of car faro which Is only $19.85 from Kansas City to FRIONA ,
TEXAS , and return.
