I
The News : The ancient nnd wldo
reputation of Children's weather man

persuasion of a cold north wind Is
now molting and forming gentle
HI reams to please the fancies of the

Lions That Roam in Custer County.
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.
Wonder what kind of booze they have I
over In Custer county , any way. Its
effecl seems lo bo marvelous al cer
tain times of the year. This last one
wns seen near Oconto seen by a com
mercial traveler who was driving from
Oconto to Broken Bow. It was lying
In the middle of the road , and when ho
approached , the animal got up with a
murderous growl and slunk away Us
eyes blazing the meanwhile like two
full moons. The commercial club of
Broken Bow Is Interesllng Itself In
the matter and an organized effort will
bo made to run the vat mint down.
They say thai Oconlo Is the only place
In Custer that has saloons , but Broken
Bow was always noted for handy and
convenient drug stores.

Omaha Bee : The chairmanship ol
the executive committee of the Com *
morcial club for the coming year llca
between W. M. Burgess and W. II.
Bucholz. It is certain that the chair
man will be chosen from among the
committeemen who have been re'
elected and the choice among these is
narrowed down by various circum
stances to the two named. Burgess is
thought to have the better chance.
There are several others who would be
likely candidates , but whose private
iffairs would render It Impossible for
them to servo. Either Edgar Allen ,
T. A. Fry or C. II. Pickens could have
the position If ho desired it , but it is

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.
