Thomas Shea died Saturday C p. m.

Center a number of years. The remains
were taken to his home Sunday morn

County Clerk Phillips informs us
that the valuation of the city is about
921,000 less than ever before. Among
the reasons given are twelve blocks of

list. Millard addition, platted in 1890,
by an order of court vacated last fall;
and reduction of bank stock to the

The Washington Post makes an
outcry against overloading the curricu
lum of the public school by a general
movement intended to compress into
the few years allowed to the average
child for schooling an amount of work
that could not well be performed in two
decades; not only the children but the
teachers are overloaded, and the result
is that instead of thorough training in
a few indispensable branches there is a
scanty nibble at many tempting things.
July 15th, Saturday, at Humphrey,
is the day that so many are looking for
ward to as a day of outing. The silver
advocates are making great calculations
on accessions to their ranks, or at least
a stirring up or enthusiasm for the
cause, but we are of the opinion that
they will be disappointed in both these
respects. The situation is against them,
so far as the administration of the gen
eral government is concerned, and it is
certainly not in their favor, so far as
county or state affairs are concerned.
Assignments of teachers have been
made as follows: First ward. Miss
Anna Hoehen principal and teacher of
4th and 5th grades; Miss Rickly, 2d and
3d grades; Miss Emma Dawson, 1st

since the foundation of the parish. On May 29th, a large celebration of the anni
versary was held. The congregation is composed of fifty families and is in every
way prosperous. The building is estimated to have cost about $4,570, without
the furniture, which amounts to over a thousand dollars. A good school is con
nected with the church and entirely supported by the tuition of the pupils. The
ten acres owned by the church was given by Wm. Eimers of Humphrey.

H. G. Cross has a relic of the Herm
an storm. He was right under the
storm clouds at Rogers, that afterwards
burst upon Herman, and later along be
drove over to the latter place, where his
brother-in-law, Andrew Jones and family
live. He says it is an utter impossi
bility to give anything like a descrip
tion of how things look'. The usual in
consistencies were noticeable a water
tank weighing many tons, carried several
blocks, and an ordinary wash tub not
moved from a corner of the house where
it stood. For six or eight blocks in the
town you could walk on the heaped-np
rubbish without touching, the street.
His conclusion is that a cellar or cyclone
cave, and cyclone insurance are the only
safeguards. Mr. Cross' relic is a piece
of cottonwood, the bark all pealed off.
Captain T. H. Russell died at Dead
wood, S. D., on June 6. He will be re

With a large company he passed through

for a couple of days was camped a
short distance west. Many supplies, in

point Neligh Leader. J. J. Bump,
of this city, was a member of that com
pany and started with it from Colum

hear of the death of his old time friend.

Bump would fill a good sized volume of
very interesting reading, involving as it
does the trials and tribulations, both
serious and comical, incidental to the
exploration of a new country filled with

Fred Eder of this city died Sunday and
was buried Monday, the funeral services
being held at the M. E. church and con
ducted by Rev. N. A. Martin. It will be
romembered that these people lost a
daughter the last part of April and the
son has been ill ever since. The disease
was supposed to be spinal meningitis
but developed other complications
which caused the little fellow's death.
He was 6 years, 11 months and 11 days
old. The parents are, indeed, to be
sympathized with in their double
bereavement Schuyler Sun.
Deputy Collector C.P.& Williams
has been in Seward for several days
past, looking up matters connected with
internal revenue. He spent some time
at the office of the county clerk and at
the banks, and found a good many docu
ments that had not been properly
stamped according to law. In each case
the document has to be sent to the col
lector of internal revenue, with an
amount equal to the omitted stamp
and a penalty of $5.00. It is understood
that the collector will remit the penalty
in most cases. The law has been in
terpreted in so many different ways that
it is not strange that errors have been
made in the stamping of documents.

Miss Grace, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Leander Gerrard, was married
Saturday afternoon at the home of the
bride's parents, at 5 o'clock, to Mr.
Roscoe Pound of Lincoln, Rev. Weed of
the Episcopal church performing the
ceremony. The ceremony was witnessed
by about forty-live guests, almost all
relatives of the family. The bride,
robed in pearl white satin with cheffon
with her father, met the groom and the
minister iu the front parlor, all march
ing in to the strains of Mendelssohn's
Wedding March, played by Miss Mary
Henry. The ceremony was beautiful
and impressively rendered, the audience
all standing. After the congratulations,
the company was invited to the large
dining room, where an elegant supper
was served. The couple were profusely
showered with rice as they waited for
the evening train. They will spend
about three weeks in the west and after
July 17th, will be at home at 1632, L.
Street, Lincoln. Miss Gerrard was
born in Columbus, and with the excep
tion of attending the State University
where she graduated, she has lived here
all her life. She has many talents and
all ifio virtues of an excellent woman.

brilliant future before him. The many
friends of the happy couple wish them
a life of prosperity and bliss.
W. N. Hensley, jr., of this city was
the successful candidate at Norfolk last
week for the West Point cadetship. In
the examination Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, in studies, such as history,
grammar, algebra, etc., he stood second
among twenty -one candidates, being
five-sevenths of a point under the first,
but this candidate was rejected physic
ally, standing no show at all, while
Hensley was first in the physical exami
nation. If he passes the examination at
West Point, he will, as we understand
it, be entitled to four years' thorough
schooling such as is given by the gov
ernment at the .West Point military
school with $400 a year and expenses
paid, after which he will be under obli
gations to serve the U. S. government
in a military capacity for four years,
wherever assigned. It is regarded as a
fortunate thing for any young man an
assignment to a cadetship and it has
meant a good deal to many of our men
who later became prominent in military
history.

Institute Botes.
The twenty-second annual session of
the Platte County Teachers' Institute
convened Monday morning in the high
school building.
The examination usually given at the
close of the session was given this year
at the beginning, the last four days of
last week: so that there was nothing to
do but to begin at once upon the work
of the session which was opened on time
by Sup't Leavy placing every one at
ease with a few appropriate words of
welcome, direction and cheer. He then
introduced the instructors who spoke
briefly, and the regular work of tho ses
sion was begun by Sup't Bigelow or
Falls City, in the subject of arithmetic.
The work has been progressing satis
factorily since, though the teachers re
gret that Sup't O'Connor of Norfolk
cannot be with them. Sup't A. U.
Bigelow of Falls City has charge of the
work in arithmetic, geography, history
and opening exercises.
Sup't Williams of our city schools has
charge of the work in physiology and
grammar.
Prof. A. E. P. Parsons, supervisor of
writing and drawing at Creston, Iowa, is
giving a very practical course in those
subjects. It will be much enjoyed.
In the afternoon Miss Nettie A. Saw
yer of Grinnell. Iowa, gives work in
primary methods, and has already
aroused much interest.
In addition to the above, Sup't Bige
low is giving somo very practical lec
tures in pedagogy, didactic, literature,
etc. His lecture upon the importance
of teaching history in all grades and its
value as a practical school study was
certainly very convincing and the best
to which the writer has ever listened.
There is a session each day for tho
consideration of general business, fol
lowed by closing exercises.
This, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock
the public was invited to tho school
building to listen to a lecture by E. E.
Blackman of Rocn, on the '-Quivera
Legends."
On Wednesday evening at 8 p. m.
President Beattie of the Nebraska State
Normal School will deliver a short lec
ture at the High school.
Thursday afternoon Prof. J. M. Pile of
the Wayne Normal school will talk to
the teachers.
On Friday afternoon State Sup't Jack
son or his deputy will be with us.
The enrollment has exceeded the ex
pectations of Sup't Leavy, there having
been 91 names enrolled the first day.
Reading-circle work was discussed
Monday afternoon, Sup't Williams of
Columbus as president of the reading
circle board presenting the matter to
the teachers, following Sup't Leavy who
spoke earnestly upon the matter.
The singing is an interesting, pleasing
and profitable feature of tho institute.
Visitors are welcome any time dnring

"The best is none too good,'
is a
motto good enough for anybody any
where, and one we should like to see
practically applied by the conntry news
papers of this great state to their own
welfare, because really what is the pub
lic interest is their own best interest, as
they are satisfied with their share of the
public prosperity. Is is the opinion of
The Journal that this country has en
tered upon a period of development, of
business, of enterprises of all kinds, of
improvements along all lines of human
endeavor, the like of which we have
never before known; a period in which
it will be the proper thing for each per
son 'to become a thorough adept in his
line of work in order to do all the good
he can, thus multiplying the practical
ability of the world of mankind. For
many years we have been accustomed to
hear of this being called "the age of
science," but really men are only be
ginning to learn how to know, how to
observe, how to combine to accomplish
what they wish. Only some few indi
viduals of the race have had glimpses of
that world where Truth and Goodness
have their absolute existence. More
than once it has been remarked that the
inventions of the last fifty years are
greater in their total influence upon the
