Last Saturday's Excelsior Spring, Mb.,
Daily Call ha the following regarding
the marriage of Daaiel J. Echols at that
place last Friday evening: Bev. and
Mr. F. A. Bradehaw did sot retire un
til an early hour this morning, but there
was "sielhod in their madness." About'
9 o'clock last evening the telephone
rang and the minister was asked to per
form a marriage ceremony. He readily
consented and was told that, on account
of the bride-to-be being superstitious,
the wedding could not take place on
Friday and wonld have to occur a few
minutes after midnight Bev. Bradshaw
was willing to humor the whim of tbe
bride, so awaited the couple. At 11:45
o'clock Mr. Daniel Jackson Echols and
Mies Lillian Irene Miller appeared, and
and at 12.-05 the pastor performed the
mathematical paradox where by one plus
one equals one. Then the couple, blush
ing and happy, returned to the Washing
ton. The guests of the hotel had pre
pared a big time for the bride and
groom, but when they did not appear at
a "seasonable" hour, the reception waa
given up and all hands "turned in "
Consequently when Mr. Echoh and his
bride returned to the hotel there was
no rice or old shoes. They had out
witted tbeir tormentors. Mrs. Echols
has been a professional nurse at Excel
sior 8prings most of tbe time for several,
years. She has a large circle of friends
who wish her every happiness. Mr.
Ecbols hails from Columbus, Nebraska,
and had know his bride only about three
weeks His family have been advised of
hiemarrisge and his father may come
hereto meet the new daughter. Mr.
Ecbols has not announced his plan for
the future.
The following Boulder, Colo., special
to the Denver Times, dated December
11, contains some good news for Colum
bus people who are interested in mining
properties in that locality: "The facts
were made public in Boulder today of a
strike at the little mining camp of Mag
nolia, eight miles west of here, which it
is thought is destined to entirely revolu
tionise the metal industry in northern
Colorado A carload of Telluride-iron-sulphide
iron from a five-foot vein in the
old Magnolia Tellnride mine at that
place, which carries values of $38 in
vanadium and $70 in gold and silver, was
brought to the Vanadium mill for treat
ment yesterday. This strike is looked
upon by old mining men of the vicinity
as ttagreatest find, since gold. was first
discovered near 8ugar Loaf in the early
days of the county. Owners of property
in the region of the strike are preparing
to make exhaustive developments of
tbeir own land with a view to finding
just how valuable the strike is. A grab
sample of tbe ore was tested today by
Hugh Watts, a local assayer and chem
ist, and the result showed vanadium to
the amount of seventy two hundredths
to the ton and three and a half ounces of
gold as well as twenty ounces in silver.
The strike was made in the old Magno
lia Consolidated Mining company of
Columbus, Nebraska, of which O. C.
Shannon of that town is the president."

Teachers' Institute.
This first meeting for 1909-10 of tbe
Platte County Teachers' association,
which was held at tbe high school build
ing, in Plstte Center last Saturday, was
quite well attended, coasideriag the un
favorable weather and bad roads. State
Superintendent E. C. Bishop, who was to
have been at the institute during the
summer, but was unavoidably detained
at Lincoln, bad promised the teachers
and county superintendent that he
would be present at tbe first meeting of
the county association. In order to not
disappoint the teachers this time super
intendent Bishop was compelled to make
the drive from Columbus to Platte Cen
ter, as, owing to late trains, he did not
arrive at tbe county seat until noon.
In tbe absence of Miss Lillian Bennett
principal of the Monroe schools, her sub
ject, "Results." waa discussed by Super
intendent Lecron. He said that tbe one
thing that teachers and superintendents
labored for by day and sometimes worried
over part of the night was summed.up in
the one word, "Besults." Teachers
should instill into every pupil when they
entered school in the fall that there waa
a certain amount of work to be. done dur
ing the year, certain ends to be met and
results obtained.
Miss Elsie Jaeggi, a 1909 graduate of
the Columbus High schools, who is gain
ing her first praotieal experience as a
teacher in the rural schools of Platte co
unty, gave a paper "Tbe First Term."
Miss Jaeggi told of how she had planned
the various things to do and say ia con
nection with ber school work and bow
she had found everything entirely differ
ent, and had to adapt herself toexhriting
conditions. Her word picture of the ex
periences of a teacher during ber first
term were praotioally the same as all tbe
Be teachers, and during the discussion
of the papers Profs. Malone, Lomie and
Patterson told of their early experiences
which were very similar to those out
lined in the paper.
A paper, "What It Is, and Means. of
Securing It," by Prof. Chas Otredovee,
principal of the Platte Center schools,
took up the subject of discipline, care of
school property, conduct, both within
and without school rooms, and honesty
in examinations, and other kindled
subjects. The subject of honesty in ex
aminations brought out a spirited dis
cussion, as this is one of the main things
that teachers are seeking to avoid.
Superintendent Lecron made the point
rthat tbe best way to avoid dishonesty in
examinations was to remove all tempta
tion, and Prof. Malone said that dishon
esty also existed outside of the school
room when they obtained answers and
solutions unfairly. At this point Gideon
Braun, president of the association, gave
an interesting talk on tardiness, which
was one of thesubjeots mentioned in the
paper.
State Superintendent Bishop was then
introduced to the association, which was
his first meeting with prstically all tbe
teachers. His address, which took about
an hour, was full ot good advice and
suggestion for the teachers. It was an
inspiration to tbe teachers and will be
remembered as one of the most pleasing
features of any of the association meet
ings. Tbe music, which ws furnished by
the local talent of Platte Center, was
very much appreciated by the teachers.
Miss Augusta Nelson, who resigned as
secretary, was succeeded by Miss Alios
Lyons of Lindsay.
The manual department ot the Col
umbus High school presented the as
sociation with a beautiful gavel of cherry
and walnut, made by them.
President Gideon Braun then declared
the association adjourned until the next
meeting, which will be held at Oreston
early in February.
