About thirty-five young people were
present and had a royal good time. A
guessing game was played, in which
Gus Becher won first gentleman's prize,
a pearl-handled paper knife, and Bert
Stillman won what was intended as a
lady's prize, a souvenir spoon, and which
he secured on account of the uneven
number of ladies and gentlemen present
Mrs. Carl Kramer and Mrs. A. J.
Baker entertained about fifty lady

ing of cards, each representing some

of Roosevelt's summer residence, which
had seven gables represented the "House
of . seven gables." A lot of A B C blocks
represented the Primer. Mrs. A. An
derson guessed 40 of the books and re
ceived first prize whioh was a book, Mrs.
G. B. Speice winning second prize, a
china candle stick, for guessing 38 of the
50 cards. At 6 o'clock an elegant sup

The Madison Chronicle notes the
decision of Judge Cones in the case of
Miss Edna Richardson against County
Superintendent Crum, in favor of the
teacher. She had applied for an in
junction restraining the superintendent
from revoking her certificate for not at
tending the county institute, and the
temporary injunction was made perpet
ual, the judge holding that the amend
ment to the original section of the
statutes entitled disbursements, was not
germane to the section. It reads, "The
county superintendent may at his dis
cretion revoke the certificate or refuse
to grant a certificate to any teacher who
refuses to attend the county institute."
School authorities in Nebraska may
well accept a hint from Michigan, where
manual training is sought to be intro
duced. There can be no longer any
doubt among educators as to the value
of manual training iu inculcating all the
important mental traits accuracy,
thoroughness, attention, discrimination,
certainty, .celerity, sanity, memory, ver
acity, as well as leading to a practical
knowledge of all the physical condi
tions and qualities. The old classifica
tion of the three-fold nature of man
still holds good, and the body is the
present containant of all the individual
powers and possibilities. Manual train
ing may mean very much to all who
rightly compass it
Then these individuals, whose report
must be taken with a grain of allowance
gave other details of the street fair at
Grand Island. They maintained that
there was considerable rowdyism upon
the streets; the throwing of confetti in
the faces of people, and such unseemly
conduct. It was also affirmed that the
Midway was an aggregation of question
able resorts, only one of which a woman
would care to enter. Likewise there was
but one booth upon the streets. Instead
of the business houses putting out cred
itable displays, the space along either
side of the principal thoroughfare was
occupied by striking machines knife
racka, cane racks, roulette wheels and
the like. Fremont Herald.
The school board of Edinburgh are
making a special effort to stop the prac
tice of cigarette smoking by school
boys. Some of the things they say
might possibly be of value to American
school boys, and among them are these
statements: the practice prevents the
healthy development of their bodies;
sows the seeds of serious organic dis
easecancer and heart disease being the
worst; blunts mental faculties; ruins the
morals of the boys; smoking by stealth
leada to dishonesty, bad company, and
other serious consequences. They close
their appeal by the statement that with
out the co-operation of the parents in
this matter, all the efforts of the school
board and the teachers will be of little
effect in putting a stop to what threat
ens to become a serious national evil
Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Spoerry re
turned last Wednesday from their so
journ in Europe, having been gone from
here since May 28th. Their trip on the
ocean was very pleasant both ways, 7
daya going and 6 days, 4 hours return
ing. They were but two days at the
Paris exposition, and Mr. Spoerry's
opinion ia that it is not equal to the
Chicago fair, one of the great reasons
being that they have not the space. Mr.
Spoerry had not been in Switzerland for
46 years. Then, there were only 18
miles of railroad in the entire country.
Now all parts are supplied, tracks even
up the steep sides of mountains in many
