COUNTY TEACHER'S INSTITUTE.
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

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.

afternoon.

A business change that occurred In
Columbus this week Is that of a part
nership formed between Dr. N. Mat
zen, of Columbus, and Dr. H. E. Sny
der, formerly of Elgin. Dr. Snyder
graduated from Creighton Dental Col
lege in 1907. The year following his
graduation he held a position on the
faculty of that school, occupying the
chair of dental medicine and thera
peutics. At the end of the year he
resigned his position and located at
Elgin, where he has since been in po
Elgin, where he has since been in
practice. The doctor was honored in
1909 by being elected president of the
North Nebraska Dental Association,
and the same year held a similar posi
tion in the Central Nebraska Odonto
logical Society. Dr. Snyder's pro
fessional ability is simply attested
to by the success he has bad in the
field he is leaving, and his coming to
Columbus is In accordance with his
desire for a larger field. Dr. Snyder
is a welcome addition to the business
circles of Columbus. The practice
will be conducted under the im name
of Drs. Matzen 4b Snyier.

THE FIRE FIEND.
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.
