A world's wonder has leen unearthed
in the great Empire state of New York,
and it is worth something more than a
passing thought, viz: a county with
money enough left over from last year to
run the government without a new tax
levy for this year. Newspapers generally
are so much opposed to free advertising
that they utterly refuse to spread abroad
the fame of this New York county, for
fear there will be an overwhelming rush
thitherward.
TnE investment of the idle money be
longing to the permanent school fund
still engages the attention of the Board
of Educational Lands and Funds. The
members of the board will not gain the
ill will of the people if they invest the
whole fund as speedily as possible. The
proposition to invest several hundred
thousand dollars in United States bonds
may or may not bo a wiso one. If no
other bonds can be purchased to an ad
vantage the state can better afford to
hold United States bonds at a low rate
of interest than to permit the money to
lie idle. Omaha Bee.
The man who will succeed Kem will,
in the first place, be a republican. No

he must, as we stated above, be a man of
strictly pure reputation, upon whom no
mud can be thrown nor against whom
no questionable past political records
can be raised; a man who combines
brains with eloquence and of whom any
constituency might be proud. Such a
man as Hon. A. E. Cady. As surely as
he receives the nomination in the repub
lican convention (and it is considered
almost a certainty at present) just so
surely will he be elected, and that by one
of those republican majorities which are
so fashionable at present. Now, mark
ye well the Republican's predictions.

THE PKOPHECY OF BLAINE.
A Remarkable Prediction Made Three Years
Ago, Now Fulfilled.
Some men have the gift of prophecy
without comprehending what they aro
saying. Others, with opened vision, look
into the future seeing, in a general way,
the effects of causes already at work.
Among these was the great man whose
death was an irreparable loss to his
country Blaine, the patriot and states
man. Three years ago he wrote:
"I love my country and my country
men. I am an American, and I rejoice
every day of my life that I am. I enjoy
the general prosperity of my country,
and know that the workingtnen of this
land are the best paid, the beet fed, and
the best clothed of any laborers on the
face of the earth. Many of them have
homes of their own. They are surround
ed by all the comforts and many of the
luxuries of life. I shudder, however, at
the thought that the time must come
when all this will be changed, when the
general prosperity of the country will be
destroyed, when the great body of work
ingmen in this land, who are now so
prosperous, will hear their wives and
children cry for bread; that day must
come when the great factories and man
ufactories of this land will shut down,
and where there is now life and activity
there will be the silence of the tomb.
And the reason why this must be is this:
The great southern wing of the Demo
cratic party are determined to establish
the doctrine of free trade in this land.
They will be assisted by their northern
allies. There is a great body of vision
ary, but educated men, who are employ
ed day by day in writing free trade
essays and arguments in favor of the
doctrine, which find their way in every
newspaper in the land. The great body
of our people have never experienced,
themselves, the suffering which always
results when the protective principles
are laid aside. Poisoned and excited by
the wild statements of these writers and
the demagogic appeals of the Democratic
speakers, the result will be that in the
very near future these forces which aro
now working will be strong enough to
defeat at the polls the party advocating
the doctrine of protection. It must in
evitably follow that uncertainty and
doubt will ensue. The business men of
the country, fearing the destruction of
the principles of protection, will decline
to engage in business, consequently mills
will shut down and the workingnien will
be thrown out of employment. The
people will then see as they have never
seen before that they cannot be prosper
ous and hare work while this principle
is threatened. In the midst of their
sufferings they will learn that the only
way they can be prosperous and happy
is to vote for the party that has built up
the industries by which they have gained
a livelihood; because they will then see
clearly that when the manufactory is
shut down there is no demand for the
only thing which they have to sell, and
that is their labor.
A man from Kansas in writing to one
of our state papers on the ever increas
ing topic of alfalfa says that in that
country the best way to put in that
grass is to thoroughly work the ground
until it is very fine and will pack quite
solid over the seed then put in with a
good drill, putting on one half of the
seed the first time and then cross the
ground with the drill with the rest of tho
seed. There has been some question as
to whether cattle turned out to pasture
on this grass will not bloat badly and
die. But he says that if a man will not
turn the cattle on to it until after the
dew is off and will leave them there but
an hour the first day, and keep increas
ing the time gradually until they come
to full feed, that there is no danger. He
cut from nine acres last year enough hay
and seed to come to S500. If we are
rightly informed all the seed has been
sold that can be obtained. If this is not
so it will pay the man who has any to
sell to advertise the same. Those who
are intending to sow this spring will do
well to take extra pains with what they
do sow, using every endeavor to get a
good stand, as the seed is too costly to
half do the work. Albion Argus.
There is no royal road to sound learn
ing. Real intellectual strength and solid
culture can no more be got by a wide
range of dilettante exercises than a
strong lxdy can be developed simply by
parlor systems of physical culture. This
important truth is 6et forth in a very
graceful way by Miss Agnes Repplier in
the April number of The Forum, who
shows that ''the necessity of knowing a
little about a great many things is the
most grievous burden of our day, be
cause it deprives us of leisure on the one
hand and scholarship on the other." The
dissipation and distraction caused by
innumerable courses of lectures and the
cramming of digests and epitomes are
producing a very serious intellectual
disease in the American public; for
thousands of people conclude that by
this means they really become cultivated,
whereas they fall far short of any real
learning, and put themselves, moreover,
into a state of nervous activity which
deprives even of the benefit of the leisure
that wise men have, and even of the rest
ful results of idleness which those get
who are content to be ignorant.
In answer to the assertion that the
Keeley is a faith cure, the doctor says
that his first patient was cured uncon
sciously in every particular; his cure is
based, he says, on the fact that alcohol
is a poison and that his cure is an nnti
toxine or a contrary poison.

School Board.
The school board met in regular ses
sion Monday evening, all present except
Mr. Henry, Vice-president Speice in the
chair. Minutes of previous meetings
were read and approved.
Bills were allowed as follows and war
rants ordered drawn: R. C. Boyd $1.40;
M K. Turner & Co., S2&65; H. L Mur
dock 817.15; Platte Co. Argus 810.00;
Columbus Telegram 810.
On motion of Taylor, $1,700 was trans
ferred from the county treasury to the
teachers' fund.
Mr. McDonald, architect from Lincoln,
exhibited and explained plans of school
buildings, one of four rooms costing
S7,000, another of seven rooms coating
S11,000.
Some informal discussion was indulged
in with reference to the kind and cost of
the two buildings to be erected, provided
the bonds are voted, the general opinion
of the membersjbeing that the buildings
should be equal, or nearly equal in cost,
and that no schoo building should be
erected unless it is a good'one.
A resolution offered by Taylor was car
ried, Kramer voting in the negative, giv
ing it as the sense of the members of the
board that two four-room buildings be
erected, one not further east than Merid
ian avenue, the other not further west
than Olive street.
Speice of the committee reported gross
receipts of the school entertainment for
benefit of library fund, $92.30, expenses
for opera house and certificates, 814.10,
net proceeds 87&20.
The services of an elocutionist are to
be obtained for the graduating classes,
provided the same do not cost more
than 875.
The committee on schools was author
ized to make preparations for graduat
ing class exercises.
Proposed Legislation.
Report of the committe, upon legisla
tion of the North Nebraska Teachers'
association, composed of Superintendent
J. G. Haupt of Dakota county. Miss C.
M. White of Wayne, and C. W. Bigolow
of Madison, which was unanimously
adopted by a full house.
We, your committee appointed to
formulate evident faults in our school
laws and to recommend desirable
changes, beg leave to report:
First, that greatly unequal school
privileges are to be avoided and every
reasonable effort aiming at equalization
of school taxation should be encouraged.
We respectfully suggest the justice and
wisdom of appropriating the fine and
license money and the railroad school
tax of a county to the extent of at least
one-half to the county school fnnd to
be distributed to the districts upon the
pro rata basis as other school monoy.
We also favor a reasonable county school
tax.
Second, that so long as money de
rived from fines and licenses in cities
and incorporated towns is appropriated
to the school fund, provision should be
made for the equitable distribution of
such moneys in towns and cities all of
whose territory is not in one school dis
trict and we recommend in Bubstance
the following amendment: That in
cities and incorporated towns whose ter
ritory forms in whole or in part more
than one school district, all money de
rived from fines and licenses appropriat
ed to the school fnnd of such city or
town shall be apportioned to these sev
eral districts in proportion to the num
ber of persons of school age of said city
or town belonging to each district ac
cording to the last school census.
Third, that it is a decided evil to
boards of education, to the schools, and
to teachers to leave the selection of the
latter so loDg in doubt and we heartily
recommend and urge that provision be
made by statute to grant to boards the
right, after May 1st, of any school year,
to engage and contract with teachers for
the next school year in incorporated
towns and villages, for the next two
school years in cities of the second and
third classes, and for the next three
school yeara in metropolitan cities and
cities of tho first class.
Fourth, that we are in hearty favor of
such legislation as will bridge the chan
nel between district and city schools on
the one hand and the tfniversity on the
other; of the total separation of city
school elections from civil elections; and
of providing for fees to be paid by those
attending teachers' institutes.
The following clause was presented by
Superintendent Haupt to the committee
on legislation and was adopted by them,
but through an oversight it failed to be
reported to the association:
That we recognize the wisdom of the
so-called, non-resident law, with the ex
ception of the tuition, which scarcely
pays for the wear of text-bookB. We
respectfully suggest as reasonably equit
able the following provision: That when
persons of school age reside one and
one-half miles or more from the school
house in their own district and a half
mile or more nearer to the school house
in another district, both distances reck
oned upon the nearest public highway,
they may elect to attend school in such
neighboring district, which shall receive
from the district to which they belong a
sum of money equal to the average cost
per pupil in the district in which they
attend, which shall be found by dividing
the total expenses for the school year,
exclusive of payments upon bonds and
interest thereon, by the whole number
of days all pupils attended, and multi
plying the quotient by the number of
days each of said non-resident pupils
attended.

The North Nebnwka Teacher' Amociation
Hold Their Eighth Aunual Session.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week, day and evening, Columbus
was favored by tho genial presence of
about three hundred superintendents,
principals and teachers, members of the
North Nebraska Teachers' Association.
We had intended to be present during
the entire session and make note of any
thing of interest to the general public,
but illness forbade this, so we must do
the best we can from hearsay. Of course,
we cannot enter into details, but only
refer, in the most general way, to the
subjects discussed which included the
grading of rural schools; how to assist
the teacher and estimate his ability;
county institutes; .changes in school law
(we give elsewhere the action with ref
erence to this); concentration of Btndies;
how to keep boys for advanced work in
the high school a subject so ably pre-.
sented by J. K. Stableton of Lexington
as to draw out considerable discussion;
what to teach in geography and how;
illustrated talk on Delsarte this by
Miss Lucie Raines of Lincoln was in
tended to be a full exposition, by a large
class of pupils, of the principles of the
Delsarte system, and, althongh only a
small class were present, there were
enough to show tho beauties and bene
fits of the system; the county high
school, well presented by R. G. Mbssman
of Madison, was ably discussed by Chan
cellor Canfield; the illustrated system in
art instruction by Miss Ethel Evans of
Omaha, was well calculated to give the
teachers who heard it an ambition to use
the beautiful as one of the most potent
means of improvement iu the useful;
literature in the rural schools; study of
government; for some reason A. W. Nor
ton of Peru, who was present, did not
give his illustration in morals, which is
said to be very fiuo; the spirit of the
teacher by Miss Austin of Central City
was highly spoken of.
The lecture by Judge Norris was a
splendid effort for even the Judge, who
is well known for his admirable way of
saying good tilings. His theme was the
United States as a moral empire. From
first to last he had the closest attention
of a large audience, and those who did
not hear him miesed an intellectual treat.
The lecture of Hon. Henry Sabin.
state superintendent of instruction of
Iowa, at the opera house Thursday even
ing, was a constant succession of hits.
His theme, Individualism, gave him
opportunity to speak for the earnest,
conscientious, faithful teacher and his
work in the school room as against the
domineering, tyrannical martinet in the
office of superintendent, more concerned
about percentages than progress. It
was an address that every superintend
ent, teacher and pupil would find profit
in studying, and if we can prevail upon
Mr. Sabin to let us have it we shall cer
tainly publish it, as we can find Bpace.
The oratorical contest resulted as fol
lows, the first and second prizes being
respectively a gold and a silver medal:
Original, Charles H. True, Schuyler,
"Arbitration," John Clark, Columbus,
"Woman Suffrage"; Selected, Carrie
Parks, Greeley, "Sheridan," Christine
Larson, West Point, "Our Duty to Our
Country"; Dramatic, Josephine Palmer,
Blair, "Archie Dean," Delia Cook, Wayne,
"Search for the Slain"; Humorous, Nona
Bridge, Fremont, "Naughty Girl in a
Hotel," Gypsie Alexander, South Omaha,
"Tabitha Primrose on Woman's Rights."
NOTES.
The door receipts for the oratorical
contest were 8134.10.
Somelwdy defaulted in not having a
piano at the church, for the musicians.
Madison county got the Hag, a prize
for having present the largest number
of teachers 52.
Columbus people did well in attending
and furnishing good pay audiences for
the contesting orators.
I. H. Fisher of Pilger and J. A. Cmn
mings of Elkhorn helped along wonder
fully with their songs. Of course the
ladies always excel in song.
The oratorical exercises were too
lengthy, and it was evident that in some
ot the schools represented elocution is
not a daily or. weekly study.
W. K. Fowler of Blair, of the execu
tive committee of the oratorical associa
tion made a very successful manager,
realizing a goodly sum for the treasury,
after paying all expenses.
The judges of classes one and four
were T. R. Galvin, Atkinson; Louise
Cleveland, Stanton, and P. J. Truman,
North Bend; of two and three were A.
W. Norton, Peru; P. J. Truman, North
Bend, and W. G. Jones, Fullerton.

The case of Marie Bovee vs. Peter
Rulf et al was tried in the district court
this week. Mrs. Bovee claimed that be
cause her husband was drunk he drove
off a culvert and upset the wagon in
which they wero riding and broke her
arm. They had a cow in the wagon at
the time of the accident. The jury ren
dered a verdict of 870 against defend
ants. Fremont Herald.
Mr. Miller, son of James Miller, ex
county commissioner, was accidentally
shot in the arm last week. It seems he
was preparing to move on to a place he
had rented, nnd in taking the gun out of
the wagon, he was in the act of pulling
it towards him, when the hammer caught
and discharged the contents of the gun
in his right arm. It is impossible to
state at this time whether the doctor
can save his arm or not, the chances are
against him. Stromsbnrg Headlight.
From the Silver Creek Times of Fri
day we clip: "At about noon day before
yesterday Christian Piper, an old Ger
man of about (JO years, who lived on an
island in tho Platte below Silver Creek,
was found dead suspended by the neck
in the timber near his house on the river
bank. His son William oamo to town
and reported the matter as a case of
suicide. Some of his statements and
actions, however, raise a suspicion of
foul plsty. Coroner Wetherell was down
in the evening, but decided not to hold
an inquest, in which decision wo are of
the opinion that he made a very grave
mistake."
Walter Evans, the six-year-old son of
Mr. W. G. Evans, of this city, was run
over by a loaded wagon Tuesday near
Marqnette, where he and his mother
were visiting with her father, Mr. Ray
nor, and was killed. Mr. Raynor had
started with a load of corn to drive from
Marquette to the home of his son, a few
miles this side, and the little fellow was
accompanying him. A sudden lurch of
the wagon to one side threw tho boy out,
and one of the wheels passed over his
breast. lie lived about three hours.
Mr. Evans, who is now at work at tho
western terminus of the B. ,fc M. in Wyo
ming, was notified by wire of tho sudden
and terrible aflliction which had befallen
his family, but, owing to tho condition
of travel in that part of tho country, it
is doubtful if ho will be able to get here.

The artesian well spoken of in this
paper and found upon tho farm of W. R.
Jones by E. J. Bacon, tho well man, over
two weeks ago still continues to How
without any cessation in volume of water
or force. From a two inch pipe it dis
charges over lf,000 gallons of water per
day, as clear as crystal and soft as rain
water, with such force as to carry it
through a pipe twenty feet above the
surface, which was as high as they had
facilities for elevating the pipe, but it is
claimed that it will force water much
higher than this. The farmers are still
confident that this section is undermined
by lakes and subterranean passages
which can bo tapped and an artesian
well seenred on every quarter section of
land, and a numhor have already made
arrangements to begin work in this
direction. The well already discovered
lays but nine miles distant from Platte
Center in tho Shell creek valley. Signal.

Castoria.
"Cutori la tax excellent medicine fo? chil
dren. Mothers hare repeatedly told ate of iu
good effect upon their children."
Da. Q. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
' Cutori is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day U not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, byforcingopium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to prematura graves."
