Tlic faculty of the Nebraska State univer
sity Announces that on January 7 , 1896 , a
school ot agriculture will be opened In con
nection wlih the university. The session will
last twelve weeks.
This school Is expected to meet the demand
for simple nn.l more practical Instruction
In agriculture. It will require leas pteparatlon
on the part ot the student than does the
regular college course , and will occupy but n
fchort time , and that nt a season of the year
when farm work Is lca t pressing.
No examinations for entrance are required ,
li-.it applicants will ba expected to have a
ucod knowledge of the primary English
branches as taught In the district schools ,
and must be at least 1G' years of ago and
( jf good moral character. The tuition Is
merely nominal.
In preparing the course of Instruction the
object lias been to make It as practical ns
possible , to give the student something that
will bo of value to him when lie- returns to
the farm. The Instruction Is given by means
of lectures , and actual practice. The prac
tice , however , Is not In that work of the
farm with which every farmer's boy Is
familiar , but In the less known operations ,
< is milk testing , Judging of cattle and horses ,
tree grafting , etc.
The course of Instruction comprises soli
tillage and methods for the conservation ol
moisture In sollsit slock feeding and farm
dairying ; laboratory work In milk testing ;
diseases nf farm animals and their treatment ,
with practical demonstrations ; breeds of live
Ktock ; hcorlng of horses , cuttlo and swine ;
fruit growing and vegetable gardening with
practice In green house.

Some time ago the pupils of a certain school
called themselves the Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen
ami did battle with another ret of valiant
linlghts the Knights of Mondamln. Keeling
Justly proud cf their victory , they ujnt to the
Long school the following challenge :
The- mighty tribe ? , who nt Long do dwell ,
\Ve woulil Mko very much to meet for u

On HIP Ik-Ul of battle In warlike nrrny.
\\'e ohnlleiiKe you now to come to the
fray.
The Knights of Mondamln we've put to
Might ;
They're battered and beaten and ilon't

V.'o now seek a gain for n worthy foe ;
lly repute the Knights or Long we know.
AVu've sharpened our wits and ground our
treth ,
I'lTpnrhig to don the oonqueior'H wreath ;
Through November's day with you we'll
contest
And' may the light fnll to the fighter ?
who'se best.
SIX AND SKVKN KNIGHTS OF AK-

Omaha View.
Conditions Tun words per day ; to bo

nounced but ones. Consider n word Incor
rect when the " 1" Is not dotted or ths "t"
not eroweil. No help or Fpoolal attention
or utrtKs by tsarher on spelling.
The Long school pupils made haste to re
turn the acceptance ] : .
Attention ! Ye Knights , of Ak-Sar-Bcn ,
And hark to the words' of the KnlghtH of
the Ten.
On the first of November In ninety-live
Tour rhnlleiuiu to spelling did arrive ;
So In battle with you we now will strive.

Of tholr prowePH nt armn nnil wits as well ,
Hut In iii'ticc have we dwelt for centuries

No foe from out nf the horizon vast
During at IIH his lance to catt.
AVe would scorn to light an unworthy foe ,
Hilt to war with you we'll quickly go.

SHVBNTII OAVALK.Y OF KNIGHTS OF
THH I'lON , encamped In the pleasant
valley of Long.
Accompanying this menage was an amun-
Ing piece of Indian picture writing , showing
forth the of the
rejoicings Ak-Sar-lien
knights , and the studlousness of the Knights
of the Pen. All through the mcnth of No
vember the war was on , and at last victory
fell to the Knights of the Pen. When this
was fully decided , a delegation from Onuliu
View arrived bearing a unique scalp and the
following laniont :
Mournfully ono by one , from the lachry
mal glands of the warriors ,
Drop down the briny tears the sorrowful
teats of the beaten.
Sadly In rackc'lulli and ashes the tribes of
Ak-Siir-llen urn sitting ,
J.lfe holds now nothing of worth , though
the day of Thanksgiving IH dawning.
Crushed me the tribes of Ak-Sar-Hen , yet
nno debt remains now to settle
J'ald must It be , and nt once , to .the con
quering tribe whose line mettle
Rwcpt thus before them the battle and who
now mo greeted IIH victors.

City Treasurer Hoelot said yesterday , In
speaking about the deeUUn of Judge Kcyror
In the liquor lle-tnse CUBES between The Bee
and Tribune , that It would be necessary for
the applicants lo readvertUc In The Omaha
Bee , aa under the rullnn of the court the
city council could nolt grant these applicants
a license unless the nppllcatlon was accom
panied with a proof ofi publication from The
Omaha Bee. The monay paid In by the ? ?
saloon keepers Is now on deposit with the
city treasurer , but cannot bo credited to the
school fund or used by the Board of Edu
cation until a license is actually granted.
Mayor Johnston said that he was glad the
matter had been settled. He expected Just
such a decision , as every fair-minded per
son knew that the Tribune did not have
the circulation In the county or city that The
Use has. In regard to the two applications
printed In The Bee being thrown out be
cause the applicant had not procured the
I'lgnnturss of thirty freeholders , the mayor
taltl that when the license matter first came
up he cautioned the license committee , which
Is composed of Hyland , Mies and Dulla , to
watch carefully and see that every signer
to our. ot the petition ! ) was a freeholder. In
these two Instances at least the committee
neglected Its duty. Mayor Johnston did not
think that Judge Keyiv > r should have cen
sured the council au a whole , but he did be
lieve that th ? license committee should be
held responsible for negllgsnce.

favored people find their way to us ns a re
sultant of Borne old charter , carefully exe-
cuteil from the king or legislature confer
ring privileges , estate and hclrslilp upon us ,
find their way to us from King John , who
read of King Alfred , who read of Moses , who
saw God face to face. The great charter of
Jesus Christ was the carefully written In
strument of the covenant of Abraham of
which the prophets were witnesses ; God hav
ing ordained Christ before Abraham's day ,
to be the Interpreter of the charter which
secured to every believer In Christ two things :
First , remission of past sin ; second , power
to obtain righteousness ,
Sin Is not only any transgression , but also
any lack of conformity to God's will , and sin
had dwarfed our wills and had envelopjd
our altars with the black curtains of des
pair , which mocked our spiritual infirmities
and we were crippled and without power of
ourselves to please Gbd a wretched past
was behind us and a future without hope.
The charter brought this to men of faith.
"Though your sins bo as scarlet yet they
( your sin ) shall be made whiter than snow. "
Thus did God , by Christ's charter , remove
spiritual and intellectual , disability. "I will
sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall
bo clean. " The second benefit was right of
life or righteousness , and carried with It
power to become rons of God. That was
liberty lo the prlson-bonnd and made Paul
say : "I can do all things. " A freedom to
work out your salvation by your own faith
and In the rights guaranteed In the charter ,
and not to be as "tue horse or mule , to be
bridle led , " but a liberty of faith , freedom
of action to walk InTour own way to your
own Christ , nnd be' saved not by .baptism ,
much or little , or by ritual or creed , but
saved by faith In tlie charter of on evor-
llvlng , loving Christ.

All physicians agree that the element of
faith has a great deal to do In the cure of
disease.
Firm belief and confidence In n family phy
sician or the same confidence and faith In a
patent medicine have produced remarkable
cures In oil ages ,
This Is especially true in nrrvous troubles ,
and no field offers so prolific a harvest for
the quad : and charlatan as the diseases
arising from a weak or run down nervous
system.
Nevertheless , the most common of all dis
eases. Indigestion and stomach troubled ,
which In turn cause nervous diseases , heart
troubles , consumption and loss of flesh , re
quire something besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food for
you , will not give you an appetite , will not
Increase your flesh and ; ' strengthen your
n rves anil heart , but Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things , because they
are composed of the elements of digestion ,
tliey contain the jucs ! , acids and peptones
ncccFsary to tlis digestion and assimilation
cf wholecome food ,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food
If placed In a Jsr or bottle of water heated
to 08 degrees , and they will do It much mor.
effectively whin taken Into the stomach after
meals , whether you have faith tlmt they will
or not ,
They Invigorate the stomach , make pur-
blood and strong nerves In the only way that
nature can do It , and that Is from plenty of
wholesome food well digested , it | H not
what we eat , but what we digest that does
us good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are eold by
nearly nil druggists at CO cents for full sized
package , or by mall from the Stuart Co. .
