Special to I I The News : The ancient nnd wldo reputation of Children's weather man for vnrlcnl weather and sudden cli matic changes Is still a worthy fad for consideration. Falling down to , .

Alnswortli Star-Journal : Ever since the editor of the Star-Journal can re member about Custer county the mountain lion has never failed to make its appearance some where in that county during December of each year and to keep up Its maurldlng deprada tlons until the balmy days of spring should drive It away. Custer Is a peculiar count > in that respect much worse than Logan just west of It , where Jess Gandy roams at will , and where they go by sun time Instead of I , by railroad time as Iho sun Is so much nearer. If they could only get a sea sorpenl to go splashing up and I down Mud creek In Broken Bow , surely I ly their joy would reach no limits.

Burgess and W. II. Bucholz.

A. Fry or C. II. Pickens could have the position If ho desired it , but it is declared that none of these does. The biggest tax payer in Madison county , aside from the corporations , Is believed to be a woman It is Mrs. L. A. Stuart of Lincoln , president of the Madison state bank , who formerly lived in Madison and who has ex tensive land holdings in the county , who Is reputed to pay more t.-txes into the county treasury than any other individual. It will be recalled that something of a stir was created in New York City , when it vas disclosed that a majority of the ten biggest per sonal tax payers were women , the suffragettes at once sei/.ing on the fact as a campaign argument. The biggest tax payer in the county is the Northwestern railroad , which pays $8,457.88. Next to the railroads come the banks. At least one bank pays as much as $200 a month taxes to County Treasurer Peterson. Saving Bank In the School. Newman Grove , Neb. , Jan. 15. Spe cial to The News : The school savings bank in the Newman Grove schools Is proving a great success. While the primary idea of the system is to teach thrift and economy , the little folks have surprised the board of edu cation and the city superintendent by the amount of money deposited during the three months in which the experi ment has been on trial. The idea seems to be new In this state , as not another savings bank In collection with any of the schools of the state , is known of , at least Mr. E. II. Gerhart , the treasurer of the board of educa tion , who Is the originator of the plan at this place , says that ho wrote to the state superintendent for informa tion but was Informed that there was no such bank in existence in this state so far as ho knew. Professor Gilbert and his entire corps of teachers ably assisted In getting the system In stalled In the schools. At the regular meeting of the board of education , October 5 , It was decided to give the plan a trial and Mr. Gerhart was in structed to prepare the necessary supplies. rrhe only objection raised at any time was that It might require such an amount of time and labor on the part of the teachers as to Interfere with the regular school work , but It Is found now that the entire time re quired is about ten minutes of each i teacher's time once a week Deposits ! are received by the teacher at the opening of school Mon day morning only , al which time a child may doposll any amount from one cent up. Each child depositing Is furnished with a card on which the teacher receipts each deposit ait It Is made. She keeps li hook In which she enters the deposit nnd then turns the entire amount over to the super intendent who gives her a receipt for the total amount deposited with her. The stiporlntondenl then sends the Janitor with the deposit to the treas urer of the board of education who locolpts him for the amount. In this manner , each teacher keeps an ac count with the Individual pupil ; the superintendent , an account with each teacher ; and the treasurer only with the superintendent. A child desiring to withdraw all or any amount of his deposit can do so any Monday morning by presenting hit ) check signed by the pupil himself and countersigned by the parent ahd su perintendent. The amount drawn Is likewise entered on the pupil's card and the balance carried forward so that the child can see at a glance the1 ' amount to his credit. The Ilrst deposit - posit , amounting to SIIS.OS , was made ! Monday morning , October 12. The deposit - | posit October ID was ? IO. 10 and so on until now there is in the hands of1 the treasurer $200.30 belonging to the' ' school children. Of this amount $201.00 is Invested by order of the board In school and county warrants drawing 7 per cent Interest. The pupil will receive the entire amount of Interest received which will hn an- portioned by the treasurer at the close of the achool year , each child getting credit for his proportionate1 share of the interest determined by tile amount of his deposit , nurlns ? the three mouths , In which the system lias been in operation only a small amount has been withdrawn , several of the children drawing their cheeks' the Monday before Christmas , but not to any great extent. The amount deposited - posited by the superintendent Decem ber It was only $ ( ! . : ! ( ) , but January it again was up to $21.12 , which seems to bo an average weekly doposlt. About 50 per cent of the pupils in the school deposit with their teachers , the percentage being largest In the lower rooms where possibly 90 per cent of the pupils avail themselves of the privilege. The percentage de creases as you go up in the grades , be ing lowest in the high school. As before stated , the plan Is not to got pupils to board up money , butte to teach them to save. It also gives them some Idea of doing business. The > atrons of the school also take a great Interest in the system , so there can be no doubt of the ultimate suc cess of the project. Professor Gilbert , who has done so much for our schools n the short time that he has been lore , explained the plan fully and ably to the pupils so that even the smallest tot in the schools understands t perfectly and can tell you all about t. PLAIN FACTS ON THE ROSEBUD. Chester Slaughter Tells Chicago Win ners About Actual Conditions. Chicago Tribune : Despite the an nouncement that a matrimonial bureau has lieen started in connection with their organization , members of the Rosebud association were none too enthusiastic over their prize winning when a meeting In King's restaurant adjourned yesterday afternoon. Chester Slaughter of Dallas , S. D. , was invited to explain conditions in the "promised land" In Tripp county , and when he finished talking some of the Chicago prize winners would have disposed of their holdings for a song , and others plainly Indicated they would make no attempt to prove up their claims. Ills talk was a rude shock to the old and young , married and single , good looking , and indifferent men and women assembled In the dining room , but all came away feeling satisfied that he brought information that could not have been gathered In any other way. It followed the reading of several letters from bachelors seek ing wives to help share their burdens in the unsettled country. The letters had put the gathering In a good hu mor , and , although they seemed to betaken taken lightly several young women were seen to take notes , and Vice President J. I. Carroll said they would be referred to the matrimonial bu reau. "Now , don't think you are going to fall into a bed of roses out there , " be gan Mr. Slaughter. "Conditions there remind me of the cartoon I saw in to day's Issue of the Tribune , Some of the women are bound to soil their hands and get cold feet. They are going - ing to miss their steam heated Hats , their theaters and all the other ad vantages they have in Chicago. In South Dakota It will be a case of hustle. "In Chicago when you want a bath all that Is necessary Is to turn on the hot water faucet and you are pro- pared. On the reservation you will have to haul water for a mile and a half or so on a sled , and if you insist on that bath you can go to some pool and skim off the moss and ether stuff , chase the water snakes away and plunge In. But out there ono doesn't need to take a bath often. "And say , when locators toll you they will get you a claim on the line of a railroad they are handing you 'hot air. ' There Is only ono railroad there and It merely touches the border of Tripp county. Ilowovor , people are thriving , and n man and wlfo can llvo comfortably In a mud and piaster hut that can be built cheaply The land eventual ! ) \\lll bocomc valuable , but It's going to take time , and l s worth what the government Is asking for it j Hut If your claim Is numbered over' ' i.HOO I would ad vine yon to forgot about your prl/o. "Five thousand allotments of 100 acres each were awarded , but there nro only 11,9:17 : sections of that acreage altogether , and only about 1,500 of t..oso plots are desirable land. If you are full of grit and will stick you will make out all right , but don't come out under the Impression that M > u are en tering upon a vacation. " Members of the association asked tiie speaker numerous questions 10- gardlng the Rosebud country , and his answers Indicated that lie Is thorough ly familiar with It. Some of the places Indicated as desirable by members lie declared wore sandy and of little value. An Investigating committee soon will bo appointed to visit Mr. Slaughter and have him show them over the property. More Information about the district was given In a letter from James W. Putney , owner and publisher of the Tripp County Journal , who seeks liusl- ness , and , Incidentally , a wlfo from the association. After telling how valu able his paper would be to the mem bers of the association , Mr. Putney adds this : P. S. Women are a scarce article In this county and especially this town. There are only about threw ellglblos and one leaves today , we think to be married. Am a bachelor m.Nsolf and need a holpmalo , one who could help me in my business , llnvo more than 1 ran do. The only avail able heli ) I have Is the minister , n young man , and ho Is protest ing aboul not having enough time to study. Could you put mo in touch with somebody who would brave frontier life ? It's no snap , and > ot everybody j Is on an equality , and the air Is pure. j There Is a dance every week , and preaching on Sunday , no saloons run j ! nlng yet , and a nice class of people hero. Do not suppose you are run i , niin ; a matrimonial bdroau , but 1 would i go halves with some one who would till the bill. Wlnsido News. AVinsldo , Neb. , Jan. 15.

It looks like It. The man suspected by the officers lias moved away and since his departure not a burglary has oc curred. Sufficient evidence was always lacking and ho was never arrested. Walter Gaobler has made It a rule to always eat dinner with his mother In St. Louis county , Missouri , on his birthday and last Sunday was no ex ception. Mr. Gaobler is a living ex ample in contradiction of the alleged truth that "environments make the man" for he spent the first twenty-five years of his life in this Missouri county where only 200 out of 5,000 voters are of his political faith Democrats. The beaux have been busy in west ern Wayne county this winter and those who keep track of the "signs of the times" predict that many of the schoolma'ams are teaching their last term of school now and that the county superintendent will have Ills hands full the coming summer to get teachers enough to go around next fall. Many farmers living In the vicinity of Wlnside will move between now and March 1 to homes they have purchased elsewhere. Charles Nydahl , C. E. Bens- hoof , Ed Brugger , and George Van Rossum will go to Cherry county and Frank Todd , Chester Shirts , J. H. IIus- ted , Charles Swlhart and C. D. Jones to South Dakota. Efforts are being made to secure a lighting system of some kind for Win- side , something the town Is badly in need of. A furnace Is being built in the M. E. church.

Tucker and Dan Carter , cash ier and bookkeeper of the Merchants State bank , have startled all their friends by rising every morning and walking two miles before breakfast. It was surmised that they would bol completely "cured" after one trial but the grit and staying qualities of the young men seem to have been greatly underestimated. Notice of AHmlnistrator's Sale.
