The aurn 1 $2S- 92.D2. the bggeit ; rocevet In ten years , Th18 hawisomo bit of nccrctlon to the clioo1 fund has alao brought the fund nearer the credit tIde of the ledger than It baa been for romu time. secretary QUinn of tb school board says that with the asItanee bt thta money the tthtrIct will be 2OO0O better oft than IL wan one year ago and h ban hopeH that thli atno proiortton sUt exL when the close of the year arrIves. The money was recetved by ecerotary Gil- Ian fron the county treasurer 7esterday Rnornlng nni wa ot once turned over to Treaeurc Edwar1R , IL will not remain idle long. for It will be et. once employed in taking up out9tnndlng Babool warrants. 'Theo aggregate now about $ CO,000 aiul very nearly one-half of them will ba called in. ThIs will leave the indehtelne2s of the din- ttict. In the shape of outstnndtng warranta at about 330.000 , The amount of the apportionment has been growing steadily , One year ago th city received $24,224.10. $ The sum necurel the first of this year wan $26,310.91. The latter apportionment and the one just received - coived hrlns the total of the year up to name $ ,0O0. About the Banto amoUnt was secured ten yearn ago. The 'lowest point was reached two years ago , when the total amount at the year wan some $32,000 , or only ft little more than the prcsoat semi-annual tipportiontnent. The acquisition puts the district In batter shape by $20,000 than it a year ago , according to Secretary Gilinu , and he confidently - dently counts upon it being nearly an well off at the and of the year. This will depend - pend largely , of course , on whether the school board invests in more real estate or big improvements and repairs are beiug made. Neither is lllteiy. The board will not buy land except enough for a Pacific school site and Superintendent of Buildings Banker declares that the repatra will amount to comparatively little in compartnon with past years. The city school 1ovy this year was much smaller than last year. The number of mills the district had net aside for Its maintenance - tenanco was more than cut In half , while the valuation of the vroporty In the city wan Increased one-thIrd. But Secretary Gil- Ian reckons that the receipts from the police court viI3 very zicarly make up thin dlt- forenco. Last month the reccllts froni the police court wore $1P00 , tlio biggeit received - coived for five yearn , Last year they averaged - aged aiOUt 100 a month , or some ; i,400 for the year. During the rent of the year the receipts vilI probably average $1,600 a month. It Is by counting upon thin revenue that Secretary Gillan Ilgures out that thu school board will find lt0lf ahead at the end of the year. S EXPOSITION AND L t EDUCATION Duny cbdnt was last menttopi , Sunday in the description of Nebraska schools and their work. Since there are no EB In the county index , Fillmore comes next , with exhibits from Geneva , Strang , Graftqn and Fairmoflt , besides the rural schools. Soy- oral districts have , combIned their work in , Hwingiug cases , a most convenient way for. examination. The 'vriting throughout Is particularly good. A statistical chat pro- ) laro1 by the county superinteodeat sbovs the number of schools , teachera , valno of nchool property and other tntoresting items. The EtintS schoOls In Frontier county. among other things , have sent very corn- plate collections of Nebraska soils and woods-polished nod in the rough. Curtis sendn a fine display of mounted work. Furnas , in the southern 'tier of counties , Is represented by Beaver City. Arapalioc , Oxford and Cambridge 'und an unusually large number of rural schools.

Jt novel feature of the large number of relief maps from Grand Island , Hall county , Is the combination of political geography with topographicel. A drawing of a locomotive - motive and tender deserves mention , in fact the drawing a a whole is exccedliigly good and the same is true of the written work. The Schauppeviiio schools have careful work in alt lInes.

Suburban towns-College View , Universify Place and Ilothany are all represented. Wnvcrly and Bennett are floe display. North Platte , Lincoln county , the home of 'BUifal Bill , " called the father of his country by the same small boy who said Lydia B. I'Inkham was the mother , has nolan creditable hIstorical work illustrative of the source method. Madison and Merrick counties have con- tributlons from Norfolk and Chapman , iner- ttoriaun natUre drawing , portraiture and appropriately ornamented covers of bouud woric Come from Norfolk , while the latter iii strong In commercial arithmotio. Under N are the countIes of Nemaha , with exhibits from Brook and Auburn , and Nuck- olfa ieprcsented b Superior. The work from Broclc is all mounted on dainty pink cards , Specimens of penmanshIp on pansy- shaped papers are noticed. Auburn sends "ovary-day" note books from the physics class , and progressive mdps of the conti- nenta. Superior a number of volumes of written work satisfactorily labeled. OtOo county bears one of the few names commemorative of Indian history. Nebraska - braska City pays tribute to the Father of Arbor Day , for a great amount of practical natUre-study Is shown. Photographs show classes engaged In microscopic study of Insects - sects ; seed study by means of germination boxea and field study in the orchard at Arbor Lodge , A portion of the work in typewritten , facilitating inspection. Many volunues contain work lb t given study , language for instance , from grades one tO eight inclusive. Talmago book covers are decorated with designs emblematic of the subjects written. Unadhlla gives glimpses of plhnt life Ia that vicinity and views of school buildings. - l'awneo in one of the counties of least area , but the exhibit is not suggestive of this fact. The bright background of the I work from Table Rock Is attractive. All the schools represented make a fine show- hug. Iloldrego and Loomis are tb graded nchooI frpun Phelps county. The drawing aIog thiiy lines ire of more than ordinary merit. I'ierce , in Pierce county , shows no mounted work. but very neat clamped sets of papers from all grades. The exhibit from Columbus. Platte county , is well planned and executed , Practical aipIieations of electrical knowledge are made In the construction of electric bells and 9ther UpparOtus. Humphrey sends a county map of Nebrasica made of soil from each pounty. Stromburg is the ono graded school sending - ing work from Polk county , Literature outlines , relief maps and penmanship are all commendable. Rtcbardsoa county , in the extreme southeast - east , has quantities of tastefully mounted work from Stella , Humboldt , Dawson and Falls City. Class note books of the year's work in physics and chemistry , topographical - cal maps and physiological charts are taking features from Falls City. The superintendent - ent of these schools has personally pro- videO benches in the booth , and they seem to bo greatly appreciated. Geological maps from Stella , mechanical drawings from Dawson - son and excellent primary work from Hum- beldt are observed. AicCook , Red Willow county , shows orig- lntmlity in tIle mounting of a floe forestry collection on a section from a tree , perhaps oigbteon inches In diameter. A herbarium , quite tin complete , In portfolio form , and photographs of pupils are , parts of the ex- hibit. Indlanola , from this county , sends hound volumes replete with valuable results. Time mounted work from Crete is largely In wing cabinets , which no doubt entailed consiIorablo expense , but are , after all , a good unvostmet , because of their 'lurabll- Ity , Both the manner of mounting and the quality of worlc deserve strong praise. Friend , also in Saline county , evolved an original plan to econ6mnlzo space by placing work on both sides of a swinging panel. Volumes of beautifully bound work accompany - pany the panel. Dorchester and DeWitt have creditable disllays , and maps from rural schools show Ihe congressional and Sudlciai districts of Nebraska. From Prague , Saunders county , among other things , one sees work along natural history lines indicative of patient research , Ashlond contributes a set of attractive compositions on "hiawatha , " enhanced by drawings of the hero with bow and arrow , icaco pipes , tepees and other scenes sug. gested by the poem ; also a large number of framed photographs of class blackboard york. Sarpy county is next , with work from Bellevue , Paplillon , SPringfield and numer- oils country districts , l3clIou'ue , with its many historical associations , Is fitted to use th sourcq i ethod to advantage and the work Sent Is worthy thorough iveatlgatton , Mounted photographs of the "Makers 01 Our Nation , " include Washington , Jefferson , Jay , Marshall and others , Paplllion sends carelul work tilustratta of its entire curriculum - riculum , n-s niso does Springfield. A clever model of a school house with thatched roof And stick chimney is sent from the country by a 10-year-old boy. Thoroughly welt-planned exhibits from Cordova and Seward in Seward county and Stanton lb the cotity of the same name complete the index to T. The substantially bound volumes of wtltten work from Seward deserve especial mention , The Work sent by liebron. Tbayer county , from the kindergarten mlcpartment , the grades and ( lie 111gb school Is satisfactory in amount , excellence and effectiveness of mountings , Specimens of pativo wood are glqed to shingles. Chester and hubbell both have exhibits. The painathkhng exhibit from Arlington , washington county , contains forestry eel- lections quaintly disposed on heavy card. board , and an original Idea In map draw- ing-"Ilullding the United States. " \Vagne , Wayne county , showing only mounted work plainly nmrked CCI In commercial arithmetic and map drawing , While the number of rural schools Is not large , the work Is of exceptional merit. Webster county , with its maps , sketches of school buildings and grain elevator , Which oycr3rone stops to view , Is the fInal W. York county , having exhibita from York , Waco and Gresharn , completes the alphabetIcal - Ical index. Compositions on "Timely Top- lea , " relief diap in abundance and an honorary certificate conferred by tIme World's fair for excellence in drawing , penmanship ahd language from 'York catch the eye. Waco and Oresham have equally attractive work. South Omaha and other towns in Douglas county flit the twb booths immediately tot- lowing York , as the Omaha. exhibit , already considered , ant the remainder of thu county was assIgned the western ond'of tue gal- lery. Much drawing , nil on a clear white surface , binging It out well In relief , is noteml from South Onuahs. Designing and illustration show orIgInality and a finished touch. IIOUUII volumes of work from all grades weti reward careful examination. Seed collections from the Florence schodis , drawing from Benson and Dundee , nrtistl- catly bound work from Millard , primary work from Elk City , compositions and views of school buildings from Waterloo and careful work from rural schools complete the Douglas county exhibit. The Nebraska. exhibit is interesting to the patrons , Instructors and pupils of the great majority of our schools from a personal standpoint Yet the greatest benefit conies rather from making one's study Impersonal , viewing the work as an entirety and then making comparIsons. I asked a superintendent - tendent from another state , Who was thor- ouighly canvassing the work , what was the object of his xnniinattnn. The reply was : "To discriminate between methods which seek only Immediate results , or 'show work , ' to Use a current phrase , and those which really develop application , self-control and power in the pupils , to fulfill their dutied to thethselves and others ; in a word , fit them for the duties of life. " Speculating on what would be done with this mass of work at the close of the exposition , I wondered if it would not be profitable , for many reasons , for the city and country schools to make a mutual Interchange. The one criticism Is lack of proper labeling , but thin applies to but a small portion of the work. Mr. C , Stewart of Alma , assistant to Superintendent Jackson and manager of the public school exhibit , exclusive of Douglas county , is a veritable encyclopedia of In- formatioii on the subject , which he gladly dispenses to all inquirers.

Reports from the central and northern acctlons of the state are to the effect that rain is needed In many places. The rains of Sunday appear from railroad reports to have pretty thoropghly soaked the ground in tim southern amid western sections , but left a good share of the state dry. A letter to the passenger department of the B. & Tl. from A. G. Warren of Axtelle , Nob. , says : "Three Inches of rain fell here on Sunday , July 24. The corn' crop Is now assured. The time can never be better than now to show up the state to visitors , " The floss mit Chlcknmiinugn. Delighted. Before leaving for Cbickamauga park , Ga. , Lieutenant George 10.

To meet the demands Lieutenant Bass ordered - dered four dozen bottles more by express and sold the whole of it In one day , except three bottles kept for his own use and for personal friends.

"You swing across the plateau and slide and clamber down again , " ho continues , "but with the deBccnt of a few hundred feet you are in another world. The vision no longer revels In those upland spaces which raise the spirit Into exultant mastery. It flay be a desperate labyrinth of gorges along which now you fare , whose grotesque and threatening walls crowd in upon the way in stolid , brutal insistence. It may be a broad valley with dry , level , grassy bottoms and bordered by miles of mujestic clIffs stretching away iii broad pan- oiled and buttressed sweepe , and beset with alcoves hero and there , whose blissful shad- own lure you from the Way. " And so on through pages of brilliant descriptive mat- tar the learned doctor descrIbes in part , at least , the enutIcs of the Grand canyon and the adjacent deserts. It Is a splendid arti- clu and shows that the west Is not forgotten when mon go looking for grand things in. America. Among the stories In the number perhaps the most notable Is "The Monster , " by Stephen Crane. The power of presentIng scenes of horror , which has hitherto led ft. Crane into the naths of adventure , in hero used to shov how a quiet country town was reduced to abject terror as the result of a strange accident. As a atudy of American life and character , the story represents a departure in Mr. Crane's career and one which shows a marked increase of literary power. It is richly illustrated by Peter New- cli. In the openIng article in the number Stephen Bonmial gives an account of his personal - sonal studies of the convict system In Si- berm. In his judgment the Russian convict system has been greatly belied and instead of being an engine of monstrous cruelty and oppression it is sane and humane and is In a way to become one of the most efficient in the world. Tile artIcle is fully illustrated after the author's photographs , These who are much given to complain- inmr about uresent day corruotion or do- flouncIng congress because there are small men there ought to read an article in the AugUst number of the Atlantic by Prof. Charles K. Adams. He quotes Durand as recording that Tom Paine , who was then the secretary of the committee on foreign affairs and of course knew all its secrets , was engaged by the French minister for $ Iooolydar "to InspIre the people with sentIthents favorable to France. " No doubt tbo racaI earned his money , but who the other members wore that were thus inspired we do not know. That such "inspiration , " however , was used to a greater or less extent - tent , there can ho no possible doubt. One of the biographers of John Jay relates that some thirty years after the events hero mentioned Gouvenneur Morris went over from Morrlsania to visit his old frIend Jay at Bedford , During their conversation Mor- i'm suddenly ejaculated through clouds of smoke , "Jay , what a set of d-d ocoun- cIrcle we had In that second congress ! " "Yes , " said Jay , "that we had , " and the venerable ox-chief justIce knocked the ashes from his pipe. Ho gives much other Interesting - osting information about politics In the early days of the United States. Another t4mely article relates to the Spanish people. Irving Babbitt describes from actual ex erl- enco and observatIon the peculiarIties of the Spanish people , the prIde , sloth , modineval- lam that have brought them into their prea- ant strait , and traces the historical causes and developments ; but lie nevertheless refuses - fuses to assume with Lord SalIsbury that Spain IS a eying nmumon , nuimuving coat she yet possesses In abundance virtues which the world can ill afford to lose. In the same magnaino Prof. Wheeler of Cornell umilvom'slty , Ithaca , N. Y , , forecasts the corn- big struggle for the mastery of the world. Ho setS aside the Latin races as unstable and unprogresslvo , the Teuton ( Germany ) as lacking some element vital to success. There remain England and Russia , the Slav Und the Anglo-Saxon , of whIch last we are and must be a part. And to the Anglo- Saxon ho looks for the future world doml- nance In the Interests of civIlization , hu- inanity and progress. WhIle war topics are common everywhere thu editor of Scribner'a has brought out the usual midsummer "fiction number" with all Its splendid stories and its beautiful typography - raphy , This year the colored cover design is one of the handsomest ever put on an American magazine. In addition to this color work there are eight full-page designs by Henry McCarter reproduced to accompany - pany fl. S. MartIn's noble poem , "The Sea is Ills , " The way In 'n'hicb the shading of color is obtaIned i mechanically in- genlous and artistically effective. Among the good stories of the number are "The Amalgamated Ilili , " a story of very orIgInal motive by Charles Warren , the plot turning on the kidnaping of a governor ; 1'Gormley's Scoop , " a newspaper dory turning on a superannuatel event , written by A , l. Wol- colt , a San Francisco newspaper man , and "A Saga of the Seas , " another Golden Age story by Kenneth Gralmame , tim chronicler of child life , The war has necessarIly crowded out some of the illustrated short stories.
