LINCOLN, Auk. 59. (Special.) At Gen
eva tomorrow Htato Superintendent Fow
ler will conclude his campnlKti among tha
teachers' lustltuus. The Inst o( the Insti
tutes will hv held thin week, and beginning
next Monday morning school directors,
managers and tenchcru will bo expected to
lush the work ot preparation fcr tho open
ing of school. I
"With tho mcutlng In Oencva tomorrow
I will havo attended forty-two Institutes
and traveled over 12,000 miles In Nebraska,
Instead of U.00O, as previously reported,"
said Superintendent Fowler today. "ThU U
on nvcrngo of about 1,000 miles per week
and I haven't vlaltcd more than half of tho
institutes at that. There are ninety coun
ties In the state- and nighty of them hold
independent Instltutcj each year. All teach
ers aro required to attend the meetings ex
cepting those clocled In April, which ex
empts teachers In most towns ami cities of
1.C00 or more population.
"I havn been trying to make the school
people of tho state understand the re
sponsibility they assume when they sign a
teacher's contract," continued Mr. Fowler.
"It frequently occurs thnt x teacher, after
signing a contract, will conclude to go to
eome other srhool, and ho usually leaves
without giving tho board reasonable notice.
I gave a decision n short time ago to the
effect that a teacher's contract Is as binding
on the teacher as It Is on tho school board.
There havo been cases where teachers havo
recovered from school boarda for breach
of contract. A school board might not bo
nblo to recover from a teacher for breaking
n contract, but the beard certainly can pre
vent tho person who breaks a contract
from teaching elsewhere. I want the teach
ers of tho stato to be more businesslike.
Conditions sometimes arise which provent
a teacher from fulfilling a contract, but In
nearly all cases they can give the board
reasonable notice."

Scheme.
i
NORFOLK, Neb., Aug. 29. to the Editor
of The tlee: Upon ray return to the stato
after an absenco of a few weeks, my atten
tion 'has be on called to an article appear
Ing In The Hoo some time since In which
my name Is connected with a lottery scheme.
to dleposo of tho Norfolk auditorium.
Now the facts aro that I have no Interest
In tho Auditorium building, nor In tho
schemo to dlsposo of It, directly or In
directly, In any manner whatever, nor did
I over have, and I know nothing about it
In fact. I never had an Interest In any
lottery In my life, nor did I over purchase
a lottery ticket In my life.
I have never seen any of tne advertising
matter of tho lottery referred to In the .r
tide, nnd If my name appears In any of it,
It- Is without my knowleflgo or consent
which fact could easily havo been nscer
tnlned If any Investigation of the matter
had been mado at Norfolk before the publl
cation of tho article, and It Is but simple
Justtco that tho truth bo now given publl
cation.
It Is annoying to have such charges made
against one In tho public press when there
Is no foundation whatever for them, and
when tho true facts could so easily havo
been ascertained. Respectfully,

In this city this morning about 0 o'clock, a

heap, but fortunately not a person was
even scratched. Tho train crew was com
posed of Conductor Alberts, Engineer E.

CULVER SPEAKS AT REUNION
Veterssn Captain at Hastings Telia
of Experiences In Campaign
Against the Filipinos. '
.HASTINGS, Neb.. Aug. 29. (Special Tele
gram.) This afternoon's program of the re
union opened with tho singing ot "John
Brown's Body Goes Marching On."
Captain J. H. Culver of Mllford delivered
an address descriptive of tho troubles In
tho Philippines. He first excused his ab
sence from the laBt three previous reunions
by saying that time he had been on duty
first In tho war with Spain and later In
assisting to pacify the rebellious Filipinos.
Ho dcecrlbcd tho efforts of the troops on
tho Island ot Luzon. Ho told of tho lack
ot understanding of tho American people
of the size. Importance and conditions of
the Philippine Islands. They were a new
class ot .citizens for tho United States troops
to deal with and tho Idea was conceived
that tho Islands were densely populated
and that every malo citizen abovo tho age
of 14 years was a soldier. The soldier could
see In 'every banana tree or behind every
palm leaf a Filipino soldier about to shoot.
Ti tnnk hut a 1 1 1 tin whllo to dlsnel this Idea
nnd our soldiers began to hunt for an en
emy. Captain Culver said It was Imposstblo
to get the Insurgents to stand and fight. He
told of many skirmishes whore he had
hoped for a general engagement, but could
not get the enemy to fight.
He finally established a school wherein
nothing but English was taught and tho
Filipino children took to the English lan
guage qulto readily. It was through the
children thnt the parontB were mado to
understand the Intentions of our govern
ment. Many surrenders wore made by par
ents and old people through the Ipstru-
mcntallty of the children. A change in
the attitude of the Filipinos was noticeable
as soon as tho result of tho presidential
election became known over tho Island of
Luzou. They had been led to bellevo that
If Bryan could be elected ho would give
them a government of their own and that
tho American troops would be withdrawn.
Learning differently they gradually be-
camo more reconciled to our government.
His address was Interesting and In
structive and was listened to with marked
attention.
'The Sword of Bunker Hill" was sung
by Comrade A. T. Grangue, accompanied
on the piano by Mrs. Kate Boyd, after
which Colonel T. J. Majors gave one of
his characteristic short talks. He had
previously hidden hlmsolf in the great
crowd In front' of i the stage and hoped to
escape being called upon,- but his, blue
shirt gave him nw;ny nnd no was cancn
unon for an address. He said he had been
fOUnd In bad company nndt like "Dog Tray,"
was' being punlshedi He sprung a low
Jokes upon Captain Adams and II. C. Rus
sell and then launched out with a half
serious, half humorous speech. He was
heartily applauded. After Majors, Hon.
H. C. Russell held tho audience for a half
an hour with a patriotic speoch Inter
mixed with some jokes on Colonel Majors.
The Glltner band closed the afternoon ex
ercises. There was no regular program
for tonight, but tho grounds wero crowdod
with visitors and camp songs wore sung
until taps sounded. Over 20,000 perstns
were on tho grounds during tne day. to
morrow Governor Shaw ot Iowa, Governor
Savago of Nebraska and Congressman Bur
kett of tho First district will deliver ad
dresses on tho grouuds.

which was added to the reserve by Presi

Lead, the second largest city In tho state,
with 8,000, nnd Dcndwood, 5.CO0. Tho char
acter of the country Is hilly, with nn nvcr
ngo elevation of 6.000 feet, Harvey psak
(7.408 feet), being tho highest point,
PInus pondcrosn, commonly called yellow

thn only species which reaches a merchant
able size. It reproduces Itself magnifi
cently. Tho valleys and draws contain rich
agricultural land, and, when cultivated,
form excellent fire guards.
Old logging methods wero very waste,
fill, but now, tinder supervision, everything
Is used. Transportation Is made easy with
plenty of good wagon roads and three rail
roads within the reserve.

Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let It stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; If It stains
your linen It Is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass It or pain In
the back is also
convincing proof that tho kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to So.
There Is comfort In the1 knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain In tho
back, kidneys, Hver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effeots following uso of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled lo go often
during tho day, and to get up many times
during the night, The mild and the, extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have tho
