Sth.i. we are a nation of farmers. In
complete census returns show that in
1900 there were 5,700,000 farms under
cultivation as compared with 4,564,691 in
1896. This may be deemed a remarkable
increase, showing that the growth of our
industries is symmetrical, the farmers
keeping pace in the march forward. The
single discouraging feature of the situa
tion is the increase of tenant farming.
This ia accounted for, however, to some
extent by the lease of lands by immi
grants who are intending purchasers.
As the area of unoccupied arable lands
in the United States becomes less and
less' it is altogether probable that future
censuses of the country will show a
comparative decline in the number of
farms. The heavy increase in the past
ten years is in the natnre of a surprise,
though the inducements of fine crops and
fair prices have doubtless given a spur
to land investment since 1896. Phila

People engaged in reform work need
to be frequently reminded that their
efforts should be mainly directed along
positive rather than negative lines. The
best and most substantial way of over
coming evil is by supplanting it with
good. The beet way to keep a field clean
from weeds is to sow it thick with some
useful crop. There is less labor to say
nothing of profit involved in this plan
than simply to aim at keeping the weeds
from growing. The best way to keep
boys and girls out of mischief and from
forming evil habits is to keep them well
employed in something useful. More
earnest effort should be made to open
the doors to right living than to close
by force the doors that open to evil.

The preliminary examination of James
Callahan on the charge of perjury has
begun in the county court of Douglas
county. He is accused of testifying
falsely at the time he was on trial for
robbery. The specifications are: as to
having no mustache on December 19 and
for two weeks prior thereto; when he
swore he was at John ArfFs saloon about
an hour during the forenoon of Dec. 19;
when he swore that he was never at the
Melrose Hill house in which Eddie
Cndahy was held a prisoner; when he
swore that he was not with Pat Crow at
the time the pony was purchased from
Daniel Burrie; when he swore that he
had nothing to do with the plot to kid
nap Eddie Cudaby.
Disobedience to constituted author

education, but that body decided to leave
it. in tho Kinnrla nf tliA superintendent

Five men were killed and seven in
jured in a railroad wreck Saturday night
at Vestal, N. Y.. near Binghampton. It
was not nntil late Sunday afternoon
that the last dismembered body was
found a quarter of a mile from where
the explosion occurred. The forward
train which was taking water at the time
and carried the car of dynamite, was
struck and both were reduced to scraps.
Nearly every house in the villages of
Vestal and Union, which is across the
Susquehanna from the wreck, lost more
or less of its window glass, while farm
ers' houses and barns near the scene
were badly shattered. None of the in
mates, however, were injured.
The Beatrice Democrat thinks that
mentioning names is as near as the pops
will get to nominating a candidate for
supreme judge this time. And further:
"Of course, we will all declare the fellow
nominated to be a man of spotless repu

bar in his township and a friend of the
common people. And so he will be,
before election. But how about it after
he gets his passes and instructions from
the railroads as to what he shall do?"

Monday evening a social and program
were given in the High School building.
The assembly room was crowded with
teachers and visitors. Sup't Leavy
called on each of the instructors for a
speech, and State Sup't Fowler gave a
short address in which be tola or some
of the necessities of the schools. One
of the most important was the proper
conditions of the school-room. He said
in communities where the churches and
lodge rooms are beautifully furnished
he often finds the public school in a de
plorable condition, with plaster off and
floors filthy. He thought this not right
to compel children to stay two-thirds
their waking hours in such places, when
the churches and halls were open but
few times during the week.
After an intermission, which was en
joyed in social intercourse, a program
was given. Miss Tena Zinnecker and
Clara Segelke each rendering vocal solos,
the Misses Hoffman also; Miss Ethel
Henrich and Marjory Williams perform
ing piano duetts; Miss Lida Turner re
cited one selection and the High school
interspersed the program with several
selections.

teaching for the atudy of the interesting
subject of ancient Nebraska, in pre

ture will be "Recent Developments in

lecture, aa the ancient city of Quivera is
supposed to be located along the river

HENRY
TIMTEEITI STREET,
Why Vet Ga to Calif ermia?
Here's a suggestion for a holiday trip.
Bny a round-trip ticket to Sun Fran
cisco at the reduced rates which will be
in effect on account of the Epworth
League meeting in that city in July go
west by way of Denver and Salt Lake
City, past all the glorious mountain
scenery of Colorado and Utah -spend a
few weeks in California come home via
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
Billings, Mont
If you have time, stop off and see Yel
lowstone Park. A mouth is sufficient for
tho entire trip. In that time you will
see more than most people do in a life
time. And the expense is almost unbelieva
bly Bmall.
Write for a copy of the Bnrlingtoo'a
Epworth League folder, which tells all
about it gives you just the information
yon need about rates, routes, through
cars, scenery, stop-overs, etc.
