Charles Wooster of the Silver Creek
Tunes has for several years been a f u
aioaist, costing into the crowd on the
silver republican line, bnt he is utterly
opposed to the re-election of Gov. Poyn
tr, giving, numerous reasons for his
course. What between the mid roaders
and the thoroughly "sick-at-the-stom-ach"
faaionists, Mr. Poynter's services
as governor are not likely to be called
for after the close of his present term.
The situation in brief is about as Mr.
Wooster pats it when he says:
"If a man wont vote for Pbynter, the
only proper thing I or him to do is to vote
for Dietrich. There ia no use doing
taiaga by halves."

suitable ground for school-house site.
See the conditions under which they are
working, and if you have land that
would be suitable, you will 'be a public

the same time enable the board to give

will undoubtedly be to their advantage
in many ways.
Pinkeye has been somewhat preva
lent among horses lately. Among the
symptoms are: they don't care to eat;
they get blind like; eyes sore. A horse
owner who gives us the foregoing
"signs" of the ailment, says that the an
imals should not be given grain, except
ground; if worked at all, not overheated
working while sick is what kills. One
year the ailment was so prevalent that
in many cities of the United States,
oxen were substituted for horses as draft
animals, and there was great inconven
ience for several months.
The value of right music-teaching
in schools cannot well be overestimated,
whether you consider the effect on the
individual pupil or upon the school ss a
social community, temporarily and
statedly together for discipline and
learning. Both a science and an art, its
proper study and practice become of
untold value in general culture, and too
much emphasis cannot be given to its
use as an essential part of the school
course. When there is a concerted, de
termined effort on the part of citizens to
develop the natural resources of a
country, the effect of their work can
readily be seen, and so it is, only in a far
higher degree and to a much greater ex
tent when the inner kingdoms are de
veloped as they should be. Music often
assures the presence of unsuspected
powers; latent abilities; harmonizes all
the inner forces; helps bring them to
perfection, and keeps them in healthy
action. A late number of Scribner says:
"It is what girls and boys get into their
souls by music that counts. Germany
is, of modern countries, that in which
this is handled as a form of spiritual
gymnastics, and there the whole topic
receives the order of attention which it
deserves.''

cities or coaaties are compelled
to borrow money, and go into the mar
ket for it, how much better they can do!

Miss Edna Richardson began pro
ceedings in the district court Saturday
againt County Superintendent C. W.
Crum, to prevent him from revoking or
annulling a teacher's certificate granted
by him in June of last year.
In the petition it is set forth that the
superintendent threatened to revoke the
certificate because the plaintiff did not
attend the county teachers' institute
and for no other reason. It is further
alleged that plaintiffs reason for not at
tending the institute was that she was
fatigued and broken in health.
District Judge Cones has granted a
temporary injunction restraining the
county superintendent from revoking
the certificate on the grounds men
tioned. We clip the foregoing from a recent
copy of the Madison Chronicle.
It doubtless required considerable
courage on the part of the teacher to
do even- so much in defence of her
rights. Under the law, there is (as
doubtless there ought to be), more than
a little discretion, given to the super
intendent, and' this is one of the very
good reasons why voters should be ex
ceedingly careful whom they elect to
such offices.
Our Nebraska statutes, no doubt, do
give the superintendent authority to
annul a certificate for the reason given
above, but the letter of the law is some
times the biggest club that a bully in
office can use.
Tan Jot7BNAi is not acquainted with
either of the parties to this suit, but we
are of the opinion, and there are numer
ous others like-minded, that Nebraska
statutes. concerning school matters need
considerable amendment.
In the meantime, a little of the poet
Pope's theory may stand us in stead:
"For forms of goremsaeat let fools contest.
What's best administered ia best."
Select the best persons available for
official and other responsible positions,

There is net much to say in regard to
the work of woman in this country. Her
work is to work like the hardest worked
horse, carrying on her back a load of
over 100 pounds for ten miles or more
at a stretch, if of the lower class. If of
the higher class, her life mission is to go
to church very often, read nothing, and
spend her time in idleness Tou msy
guess how backward the press of this
country is when in this city of 80,000 in
habitants they can only support one
daily paper, and no weekly. The daily
skips every feast day, an average of one
each week, and Sunday. Our enterpris

days yet or the 10th or 12th of this

Miss Jennie E. Jackson, a deacoaess
from the Methodist Hospital and Dea
coness' Home of Omaha, was in the city
Sunday, and occupying the Methodist
pulpit at the morning and evening ser
vices, read the scripture lessons, and
gave a detailed statement of the manner
of work done by the institution. It was
organized in 1891, four workers. Now
they have twenty-six workers with six
physicians in regular attendance. They
have four wards in the building; thirty
four beds. They have had 915 patients
during the past year, 390 of them abso
lutely free. If two persons apply at
once at the hospital for treatment, one
of them well able to pay, and the other
too poor to pay, the latter is taken in
rather than the former (if there is not
spare room for both) because the one
with means can. find entrance elsewhere.
The hospital is non-sectarian in every
respect. It is the desire to erect in
Bemia park, where a site of 2 acres
has been secured a hospital building
which will accommodate at least 150
patients at one time, and $53,000 have
already been raised for that purpose.
The estimated cost of the new structure -is
$80,000, and to this sum was added by
contributions at the Methodist church
Sunday morning $72.50; evening $24 and
on Monday from citizens enough to
make the total $107.00, fifty-seven of it
