On motion, the name of E. Evans was
added to the Barrows delegation.
On motion each precinct and ward
were entitled to cast the full vote, a ma
jority of the delegation being authorized
to cast the vote of the absentees.
On motion, the temporary organiza
tion was made permanent.
On motion of Carl Kramer, the con
vention then proceeded to select a can
didate for county judge, surveyor, clerk,
committee of five to fill vacancies on the
ticket, and delegates to the judicial and
state conventions.
O. C. Shannon entered a very earnest
protest against this procedure, but the
motion carried by such a strong vote
that it was virtually unanimous.
J. N. Kilian of Columbus waa then
nominated unanimously, by acclamation,,
for county jndge.
J. T. Morris of Creston was unani
mously, by acclamation, nominated for
surveyor.
For county clerk, the following were
placed before the convention: E. Pohl,
Clark Gray, John Hoffman, John Wig
gins, W. H. Rightmire and M. K. Turner
of Columbus: John Moffett of Platte
Center; R. B. Thompson of Monroe and
W. H. Ulian of Humphrey. Hoare,
Early and Geer were appointed tellers.
To old stagers it waa evident on the
first few ballots that the contest lay
between Pohl, Gray and DJian, the only
object of delay being until the conven
tion could be brought to know its own
mind thoroughly.
On the seventh ballot the vote stood
Pohl 38, lllian 20, Gray 15, scattering 5,
(necessary to. a choice 44), when Lost
Creek changed 9 votes to Pohl, giving
him the nomination, which Clark Gray
moved be made unanimous, by acclama
tion, which was done.
Eleven delegates were selected aa fol
lows to the state convention: M. Whit
moyer, Robert Lewis, & P. Drake, Frank
Kenyon, W. B. Backna, George Alexan
der, H. H. Hunteman, J. C. Dawson, J.
T. Morris, M. K. Turner, Clark Gray.
A reaolatkm offered by Stockalaeer
waa adopted, appointing a committee of
five consisting of G.W. Clark, F. H.
Geer, W. E. Kent, R.E. Jones and M.K.
Turner to complete the ticket on or
before September loth.

In referring to the W. C. T. U. con
vention held here last week the Fremont
Herald has the following to. say: 'Twenty-one
delegates were in attendance,
also visiting members. There are twenty-two
Unions in the district, of which
fourteen sent delegates. The work all
over the district is in good condition'
and we hope that .this, the 'Banner Dis
trict' of the state will maintain its record
through the coming years."
The experienced editor of Wallace's
Farm and Dairy, says: ."Theoretically
we should say that, in a dry summer,
snbaoiling the fall previous will pay.
We would be inclined to doubt it in
seasons like the present For root crops
we think it would pay almost any year,
and especially if it were done before the
spring rains were over. There ia one
kind of sahsoiling that will always pay.
The contianous growing of clover in

A report of the national convention

A Rare Chance.
The Inter-State associate system of
musical instruction is already represent
ed by branch departments in 'Missouri,'
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Indian Territory and
Texas. The object of rht system is to
place a number of leading private teach
ers through the west upon a basis of
co-operation with the Western Conserv
atory such teachers to constitute the
"Inter-State Faculty." The plan upon
which the system is conducted enables
such teachers to place before their pu
pils advantages and incentives which
have heretofore been impossible to pri
vate teachers. Thus the Western Con
servatory is enabled through the Inter
State' Faculty, to inspire and benefit
hundreds of pupils at- their homed, who
for various reasons conld never go abroad
to attend such an institution.
Mrs. Page has received the appoint
ment Tnter-State associate teacher from
the Western Conservatory of Music with
matriculation cards and other snpph'es
in time to begin the fall term, Sept.-2d.
Pupils wishing to take a thorough
course in music would do well to. ma
triculate with the Conservatory for tbe
fall term, for under the influence of the
Inter-State System pupils will have the
same incentives to work as- in the Con
servatory at a much less' expense.

Brother Wallace of the Farm and
and Dairy, Ames, Ia is one of the prac
tical farmers who at the same time con
ducts a farm journal which is filled with
good,, practical suggestions. The fol
lowing are adapted to this locality, and
should receive a hearty response, and
we may add that what is true of the
farm youth on general - principles is
equally true of those of the city:
"We desire, however, to put in a word
for the boys and girls who have worked
early and late and to whom the fair
will be at once recreation and no small
beginning of an education. First, these
young folks deserve it. lb is easy for
the older' folks to work along steadily
from day. to day,, from week to week
and from month- to month. We are
used to it." Our plans, which unfortun
ately we do not always share- with our
children, interest and inspire us. It is
not so with these young people. They
have not yet become accustomed to the
yok-. " More than we they need a
change. They have toiled on. some
times impatiently, they have neglected
some things, that is true, but on the
whole they have done quite welL Ar
range at once with them to attend the
fair. If need be tell them that, although
you want to go and thought vou mast.
yet you and 'mother will stay this time
and let them go. it will- put new life
in the folks this weather and they will
do their best to deserve the outing!
We old follra do not always realize
what a dull place even a farm may be
come if" one- is confined to it too long.
Oar young folks read the papers, they
are anxious to see for themselves some
thing of the great world that is just
beyond their horizon. Better than all
the fairs we ever attended, we remem.
ber our first state fair at Pittsburgh.
It is over forty years since, but the
journey by rail, the farm machinery,
the live stock and especially the people,
are" far more vivid in our recollection
than the last or any subsequent one.
It was something to think about for a
month in advance, something to talk
about for years afterwards.
Ask these young people to study
carefully some department of the fair
in which your farm is particularly in
terested "and you will, be surprised to
iearn-".how much they will learn and
teach you. They will come' home with
new ideas about crops, live stock, ma
chinery and fine arts that may surprise
you.-'
We know of course that many far
mere do not need the suggestions we
are offering. They have made ita point
to have their young people' attend the
fairs. Others, however, have not
thought it ove in this light It is for
the young- folks who have not often
attended fairs that we speak now. We
know from experience the hnnger of a
farm boy to see the beat there is outside
the farm.
Let him see what -he can at the" fair.j
jjeb ma aiacer go aiong. irnst cnem to
take care of themselves and they will do
so to perfection."
