-Thanksgiving night at the southeast

three young men of this city. Georee
Colow, Jake Tschudy and Abe Tschudy
were together, when the first-named said
to Herman Kracs, who was passing by
"Give us some money." He replied that
he didn't have any. Then Colow said.
"Boys, let us see," and putting his arms
aiound Kraus felt in his pockets and
took out a silver watch, which Kraus
didn't miss until some time afterwards,
when he endeavored to find the boys,
and hunted up an officer, who made the
arrest but bad to use his club to defend
himself. A hearing was bad before Jus

The rumor is that he would probably

degree of excellence with new material,
start a daily, fit to be circulated as a

Union Thanksgiving services were
held at the Congregational church
Thursday evening last, Rev. Corey of
the Methodist church preaching the
sermon, the text being What owest thou
my Lord? What it is to be in debt was
graphically set forth, likewise the bless
ings of being rid of debt To the Lord
we owe everything, and from him as a
gift comes everything that is good. We
should be thankful for the gift of the
Savior to men; the christian land in
which we live; for the comfortable
homes we enjoy; for the churches and
the schools. The sermon was an earnest
plea for consecration to the service of
the Lord of all.
Word comes from Grand Island that
"there are parties going around the
country selling watches, jewelry, etc.,
representing themselves to be agents of
the local jewelers" and warning the pub
lic against them to the end that they
may be arrested and convicted as swind
lers. As often before, Thk Journal
prints this item for the benefit of the
community. Jewelers, whose business
is affected, can take care for their own
interests, but the suggestion is always in
order, to know what you are buying. If
of your local dealer of good repute, you
are sure his title is good and you are not
buying something he has no right to
sell, and if, otherwise, it is not what it
ought to be, he is near, so that at least
you can have the satisfaction of telling
him what you think of him, which is by
some people regarded as worth a small
amount as tuition in the school of expe
rience, and like all valuable instruction,
operates as a guard against future like
mistakes on the part of the pupil.
The farmers of California are organ
izing clubs. The objects of the clubs
are mutual improvement study of topics
pertaining to the farmers and the farm
er's life, exchange of experiences and
ideas, discussions of plans and methods
of making farm life and farm work more
pleasant and profitable, and occasionally
having a lecture by some qualified per
son on practical scientific subjects of
interest to farmers. The plan is a good
one. If farmers would organize a club
on this plan with a club room at the
towns where they do their trading a
place to warm, eat their lunch and pass
an idle hour it would seem that the idea
might be turned into one of profit and
convenience. The annual institutes held
in this state are a step in the right di
rection, but the sessions are so far apart
that between times the farmer loses in
terest With weekly or monthly meet
ings they would maintain an interest
and be prepared to get tbe greatest
good for the largest number when the
institute sessions are held. Norfolk
News-Journal.
Omaha is beginning to take credit to
herself for giving her public school chil
dren an opportunity to acquire a good
business or industrial education. One
sixth of Omaha High school pupils are
taking commercial work. Those who
wish to see the trend of public opinion
will find some adequate expression of it
in a recent number of the Journal of
Education. At Bangor, Maine, one-third
the High school pupils have commercial
work; Providence, R. I., 29 per cent, and
many show a higher percentage than
Omaha, but it is claimed for our state
metropolis that the reason is she has a
fully equipped department this year for
the first time. Superintendent Pease of
tbe Omaha schools is certainly to be
congratulated on the situation. It seems
that Omaha is the only city which
requires four years of training in a
modern language and attempts to give
students such instruction in German or
Spanish that they may be fitted for
positions in foreign countries. It looks
as though her course of study was not
especially designed as a feeder for the
State university.
