The training received in the various games, hand work, sense training, word and sound drill toward the end of the year is an indispensible preparation for the work of the first grade. Pupils who have the kindergarten work always sur pass those who have not had it, not only in the first grade but in the grades that follow.' All children who are of proper age should statt now, in order that they may have the advantage of as much of this foundation work as possible. Very truly, U. S.' Coxn, Supt. Public Meeting.

"I have not missed a day since I went on over six years sgo," said Mrs. Kenyoo, whose run of thirty-three miles a day is out of Monroe, Neb. "Five years ago the thermometer sank to 40 below, but I was after record and kept on. My bands were frozen, bat I was able to work next day just tbe same. In saying I have not missed a day I don't mean coventions, which the last few years I have invariably attended. Then one day last winter a blizzard was blow ing sixty miles ah hour over the prairie acd my customers did not get their mail that day. I don't think that ought to count either, for I rode into town on horseback and the postmaster would not give me tbe mail, saying that on account of tbe wind it could not be handled. "I have been in one runaway during these years and have come near being in many more, for my horses are awfully skittish about automobiles. Seems as if they can't get used to them and on a stretch of improved road near Monroe there are a good many chugging in tbe summer time. The season is nearly over and I am mighty glad. 'Yes, I take care of my own horses, six of them, every night. We are only required to have four, but I can use the other two to advantage even if there is no extra money for their keep. I live at a farm house with my father and mother, who are getting old and my father rents out tbe farm. "We are going to have a good convention, don't you think? There seems to be a good many coming, at all events." Mrs. Kenyon is a comparatively young woman and gowned in a tailor-made suit of red cloth trimmed with black garnishing of some kind or other. Omaha Bee. Rev. Li. R. DeWolf, who has been pastor of the M. E. ohuroh in the city for the past four years, has bten assign ed the pastorate of the 8eward Street M. E church of Omaha, by the confer ence, which was held in Stanton a few days ago. He went to Omaha Saturday, where he preached his first sermons Sunday. He then returned to this city the following day to complete arrange ments for moving bis household effects to his new field of labor. He and his estimable family will leave for Omaha some time during the week to remain permanently Jt-is,''inded,-with much regret that people in general must part with Rev. DeWolf and family and it is largely through their efforts that the Columbus church has grown and flour ished as it has. During Rev. De Wolfs pastorate the church has been remodel ed and is almost free from incumber ance. He will also be missed in tbe ranks of the firemen and fraternal orders, where he took a very active part. In his church work he was always sin cere and just and during his stay in our midst the people in general loved him, not only for the many good lessons he taught us but for his noble traits of character as well. Rev. De Wolfs suc cessor is Rev D. I. Rou9h, formerly pastor of the M. E. church of Tekamab, and who comes here highly recommend ed. Rev. Roush conducted services in tbe M. E. church both morning and eve ning Sundsy.

Drs. Carstenson and Hyland have let the contract for a brick building to be used when completed by them for a veterinary barn. This building will be erected at the corner of Fourteenth and Kummer streets, and work has already been commenced. For some time there has been much talk about this proposed barn being erected on the vacant lots just east of the Columbus Rug faotory, but for some unknown reason, the doc tors seemingly changed their plans. The barn will be equipped with the latest improvements, and when completed will be one of the best veterinary barns in the state.

Frontier days) last Thursday and Fri day, attracted one of the largest crowds ever seen Jn Columbns, and the promise made by the management for a first-class. show the same as at -Cheyenne was totalled in every respect. Thursday 2600 people were on the grounds, to wit ness, the buoking and roping contests and races'. The home trotting race was one of the features on the program 'and was won by Gns Becher horse, MDan Brown," "Cyclone" being second, "Harry Johnson" third and "Freddie 0" fourth. The winner of the ladies' relay race, Miss Nicholson.won tbe applause of the crowd, her handling and riding of the wild horses exciting admiration. The attend ance Friday eclipsed that of tbe day previous and brought a crowd of people that amounted to a' regular jam, the branches being especially well repre sented, over 1,100 people arriving on the two trains. In fact, no such crowd was anticipated, and when tbe rush came the hotels, restaurants and bus lines were unable to handle them. The dust and wind did not prevent the people from filling all the available space at tbe race track and also the additional bleach- eis erected Thursday night Miss Nich olson, who won the, ladies' relay race on Friday was thrown from her horse just as tbe race started, on account or a broken saddle girth and the horse step-; ped on her hand, but she pluckily re mounted and came out winner. Tbe roping, bucking and other coutests,on Friday were similar to tbe day before, but none the less interesting. Snoh exhibitions are becoming 'rare, and the men who perform are becoming sosroer as the great grazing lands of the west give way to the man with the hoe and the wire fence. The great plains of tbe west are being transformed into farms or small grazing traots and herds of ten thousand steers owned by one man or firm are or will soon be numbered with things that have been. Twenty-five or thirty years ago, when the man with tbe hoe poked his bead over the boundary line of civilization in Texas and en croached upon tbe domain of the cattle kings, he was promptly shot. But times have now ohanged. The range where once fed millions of cattle and the cow boy was mastecss he roped and branded the steer, has been divided and sub divided into farms, and the sod plow and farm house now ornament' the land. The domain of the cow boy and wild steer has disappeared, and exhibitions such ss were given in Columbus last Thursday and' Friday will 'soon be, a novelty even to people of the far west. The rush to register for the Tripp county (8. D.) land drawing is now on. Several Columbus parties have already registered and every train over tbe Nor folk branch takes out a squad. When the hands of the clock pointed to the midnight hour Sunday,' and Monday .was ushered in, registering commenced in the different towns designated by the government as registering stations. At O'Neill twenty-nine notaries are at work swearing those who desire a chance for a quarter section in tbe big lottery. It is estimated that when the word was given that the hour for registration bad arrived, five thousand people 'were in line at the various registering booths at O'Neill and the Northwestern specials were pulling in at intervals of every two hours adding to the crowd. One train, running in fonr sections from Kansas City, laided 2500 people Monday af ternoon. The crowds going up the Northwestern line from Norfolk are even larger than the crowds going west over the same road to O'Neill, Tbe country is to be opened to settlement embraces a tract of land 38 miles wide and 53 miles long. The soil is a deep black loam with clay sub-soil and is covered with a bountiful growth of the finest wild grass es. There are five government town sites recommended and all are well lo cated and will attract the eye of tbe busi ness man and tbe investor. Each of these townsities is surrounded by the best of land and as soon as they are opened to entry to tbe business man they will spring up as by magic and in a few months will be oentera of attraction. Another old settler has answered the final Bummons. Mrs. Samuel Reinke died at her home, on Route 2, last Thurs day afternoon, October 1, 1908, aged 78 years. Deceased was born at Frederick stin, Austria, November 7, 1830. In 1863 she was united in marriage to Joseph Thandel,' who died eight years later. In 1877 the widow came to Ne braska and a year latr was married to Samuel Reinke. There were four boys from the first marriage, and one boy and one girl from the second' marriage. Funeral services were held Sundsy morning at 10 o'clock from the JoLannes church ob Shell creek, Rev.Grauenhoret officiating. Mrs. Reinke was a woman with many splendid traits in her char acter, and will always be remembered with kindness by her friends and neigh bors. The many friends of Miss Hedwig Jaeggi will be pleased to learn thst she bss accepted a position as violinist with the Kimball Trio, a musical organiza tion, which will tour this and surround ing states during the winter. For the past two years Miss Jaeggi baa been studying music at the conservatory at Lincoln, and has made rapid progress in her chosen profession. She is at pre sent receiving instruction at the con servatory, aad it ia her intention to con tinue her studies after the tour. George Flyan has returaed from Fre mont, where he has been employed for the past few moBths. He will remain here for the present as he has accepted a position ss clerk in the grocery store of Brunkeo & Haney. a Former 8enator Wm. V. Allen of Madison, was in the city Tuesday on bis way home from Genoa where he spoke Monday evening under tbe auspices of the Bryan club of that place on the politi cal ifsues of tbe campaign. Mrs. Watts and son 'Harry were Oma ha visitors several days last week, and while in that city were tbe guests of the former's daughter. Mis Fay Watts, who formerly lived here, but has for the past year been employed in one of the leading business houses in the metropolis. - Julius Roeriob drew of fine of S15 and trimmings in Police Judge O'Brien's court Monday-morniBg for raising a dis turbance. Saturday night. He came home drunk and began abusing tbe fsmily, finally becoming so loud that the police were called by the neighbors, and he was looked up. Tbe contract for remodeling the St. Bonaventura church 'has been given to Cbarlea Wurdeman of this city, and work will be commenced upon the building as soon as possible. Much of the required material is now upon tbe grounds. Improvements to tbe amount of $20,000 will be added to the present structure. As a result of trouble Saturday night Julius Rohrioh has been sued for a divorce by his wife. She alleges cruelty, and asks for the custody of their child and that she be given a dear title to tbe property owned by them. A temporary injunction was granted restraining him from occupying their home or in any way interfering with her. Otis Johnson of Monore, who has been in the county jsil the lsst ten days awaiting trail on a charge of adultery, decided to plead guilty rather than re main, in jail, as he was unable to secure bond, was up before Judge Thomas Tuesdsy morning and was fined $100 and cost, which in all amounts to $133. This he paid, and was released. The oase was quite a serious one and while the defendant got off with a fine, it will be a good lesson to him, The Parker Carnival company closed a very successful week's entertainment in, this city Saturday evening. The com pany occupied all the .available vacant lots near the North opera 'house and several of their attractions were placed in the street. Tbe first of the week was somewhat disagreeable owing to tbe weather, but tbe latter part proved to be very pleasant, and consequently large orowds gathered on the grounds to wit ness the different shows, both afternoon and evening. The shows and different amusements were very good, and of tbe class that compose the modern carnival. For several months past the Presby terian church of this city has been with out a permanent pastor. Ministers from several differeut places have been con ducting services in the church during this time. A call was extended to Rev. Samuel Harkness of Artesian, South Dakota, and we are pleased to state that he has accepted the same. He will arrive in Columbus some time, during the week and will conduct services in the Presby terian church both morning and evening this coming Sunday. A cordial welcome is extended to the public to attend any and all of the services. It was in the year of 1857 that the immortal Richard Wagner first conceived his idea relating to the grand possibili ties contained in the legend of tbe "Holy Grail" for a wonderful spectacle and drama. It was not until twenty-five years later, namely 1882, that his idea was carried out to his satisfaction and the world was given the glorious work of "Parsifal " It is said that his first intention was to present "Parsifal" sim ply as a dramatic production, but was induced later to change his mind and produce it in combination music form. By his doing so, the world gained two grand productions instead of the one. It will forever remain as the grandest of all music compositions. It will as surely stand for all time as tbe grandest drama ever written. It req oires a trained mind, a cultivated musioian, to enjoy the music of Wsgner. One must thoroughly un derstand a thing to equally enjoy it. But the simplest tyro in dramatic ex perience can understand the exquisite story of "Parsifal" and understanding, cannot fail to enjoy it. It is this very quality, simplicity, of tbe story, and plot, that endears the play of "Parsifal" to the hearts and souls of all those who witness it. There sre no social problems to dissect, neither are there any intricate or-mysterious actions seen on the part of any of the characters in the play. But as a spectacle that appeals to the visual senses, as a play that in its very naturalness, soulful heart interest, ab sorbing and thrilling plot that brings tbe color to tbe cheeks with healthy excite ment, that quickens tbe heart's action with every ennobling instinct and interest watching tbe gradual un folding of the beautiful story, it stands without a peer in the dramatic firma ment. Such is "Parsifal," the play that required a quarter of a century of its author genius' life to make it what it is today the drama of the world. The Parsifal cngsgemcnKhere is for one per formance at the North Theatre, Oct. 14. KRESO! THE BEST DIP FOR LIVE STOCK One Gallon Make 72 Gallons of U. S. Government Dip.
