Thirty-Fourth Annual Session Meets in This City. Tlio tliiity fourth annual session of tlif I'latte county teacher's institute met in the assembly room of the Col umbus high school Monday morning. Suieiintiiuli'Ut Fred S. Lecron, who is conducting the institute, says it is one of the best institutes ever held in the county, despite the fact that there is an unusually large percentage of the teachers who are away attend ing summer schools at some of the various summer normals of the state. All the principals of the town schools of the county are here, with the ex ceptions of 1'iincipal J. .1. Malone, of Humphrey, who is at Lincoln attend ing a normal, and Piincipal J. IL Ste venson, of Lindsay, who is at a sum mer session at the state normal at Wayne. Supi'iintendent T.ecron is assisted by an able and efficient corps of in slructnis school people who have made for themselves names among the educators of the state. Professor Harry K. Bradford, of Kearney, who is lecognized as one of the really strong school men of the state; Super intendent Fred M. Hunter, of Norfolk, who worked in this institute last year, and who has been chosen to take the place of 1'iofessor D.nidson. of the state university; Superintendent II. F. Cat sou. of Hastings, who also was here last year, and who bears an enviable reputation among the state's foremost school men; and Miss Julia lied nar. of Omaha, who is well known here, having taught in the city schools several jears ago. It has always been the custom to hae the exercises open each morning and afternoon with a series of popu lar songs, but never have the teach ers of the county had better talent tor these opening exercises than they have this ear. Miss Ferguson, gives daily enteitainment with special read ings, and the vocal solos and other musical numbers by Professors Col lett, of the Columbus high school, and Bradtoid. of the instructors' corps, are especially appreciated. Yet. with all of this entertainment, the superin tendent has christened this institute the "On Time" institute, and insists that each period shall begin instantly when the time for it arrives. Superintendent Lecrou tells The 80 Acres of land within 2 miles of Col umbus is offer ed at a bottom price for a quick sale Inquire of Elliott-Speice-Echols Co. u hereby respectfully asked for consideration of the statement here with presented, condens ed from the sworn state ment made to the State Banking Board June first, 1911. The continued increase in growth of this bank is particularly gratifying to its officers. The security offorded by the GUARANTEE FUND OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA which de positors will receive, added to that already afforded by the large capital and sur plus and the high financial standing of the officers and stockholders, should make this bank your first choice of a place in which to de posit your money. Tribune-Journal that he is very much gratified at the enrollment, which had reached about seventy up to Tuesday noon. Another feature that is espe cially gratifying, both to the superin tendent and the teachers is the large number of visitors that avail them selves of the opportunity of visiting the institute each day, particularly in the afternoons. The institute proper will close to morrow evening, and will be followed by a two days' examination period for aiiy teachers or prosjiective teachers who wish to take the examinations. It is likely that a considerable number will take advantage of the opimrtunity afforded to take the examinations right after the close of the institute.

Destructive Midnight Fire Roueee De partment and Citizens. Shortly after midnight Saturday night the people of the city were startled to hear the distressing call of the fire whistle. The department re sponded immediately, to find a very destructive blaze which had started in the Derrington cigar factory, on the second floor of the building occu pied by the Telegram office. The nature of the fire, which was in the leaf tobacco, was such that It was very hard to handle, as the firemen were unable to cope with the fumes of the tobacco, and they could not get close enough to it to do as effective work as if the fire had been confined to wood. In a short time the flames had eaten their way through the door t the stock room of the Telegram office, which is also located on the same floor, back of the cigar factory. A hole had already been burned through the floor when it was discovered by a po liceman, who immediately turaed in the alarm. The loss to 'Mr. jberriag ton is complete, amounting to about $1,200, with about $800 insurance. The greater portion of the loss of the Telegram company was due to water, which thoroughly soaked all the paper stock on hand, ruining it completely, while the machinery on the floor below was damaged by the water and the sand from the plas tering which was thrown and washed into it, making the delicate bearings almost useless. One large jobbing -press, which stood just beneath where the fire broke through the floor above, is a total loss. Judge Howard esti mates the loss to the Telegram plant at between $4,600 and $5,000, which is amply covered by insurance: The building is the property of R. S. Dickinson and is damaged to the amount of about six hundred dollars, without insurance. The upper part was completely gutted, while the lower floor will require a new ceiling. Mr. Dickinson is replacing the old plaster ceiling with a new steel cell ing. Mrs. Emil Held died very suddenly last Thursday afternoon at her home north-east of the city, following a brief illness with diphtheria She had been ill but four days, and indeed, was not thought to be seriously so until a few hours before the end. She was about thirty-six years old, and was a daughter of Mr and Mrs Adam Schmidt, one of the early families to settle in the Shell Creek neighbor hood. She was married in October, 1893, to Mr. Held, who, with five daughters and one son survive her. Funeral services were held Friday aft ernoon at the Shell Creek Lutheran church, being conducted by Rev. G. Mueller. A Good Business Lot trackage for sale at $2,000 echer, Hockenburger & Chambers L
