Grip, min ister to Sweden and Norway, a drsft for $1,600, and to Comte Casslni, tbe Russian minister at Washington, a draft for $500, this being the $2,000 appropriated by the last legislature for the starving people of Sweden, Norway and Finland. In closing the letters to the ministers, Governor Mickey took occasion to say: "The people of Nebraska are sollcitlous for the welfare of those of other lands and desire to take notice of the deplorable condition existing In the famine regions of Europe. This ap proprtatlon Is therefore a practical expres sion of their sympathy." Help from South Omaha.

Clancy against George Barker and Joseph Barker, pro prietors of the Barker hotel In Omaha, In a suit for damages was filed In the su preme court today. Last summer Freeman Clancy, a "young son of the plaintiff in. tbe case, was shot by a bell boy while a guest with his parents at the hotel. The ball entered over the left eye and destroyed that member. For many weeks hs hovered between life and death and finally recov ered. Suit for damages was brought In Douglas county which resulted In a verdict for the defendant. Freeman was In the room of the bell boy at the time of the shooting. At first It was supposed that he had accidentally shot himself and the truth was not known for a week later. When the Injured boy gained his normal senses while an Inmate at thu hospital, hs told that the bell boy had shot him. The latter was arrested and ad mitted that he held the revolver in his own hands, when the shot was fired, but that It had gone oft accidentally. The plaintiff states tbst the court ruled against him because In the trial he failed to show that the employe of the hotel was In the act of discharging his duty as an employe of the hotel when the shooting occurred. Ths plaintiff claims that under the facts In the case the inkeeper would be liable under the narrow' rule of master and servant. Clancy,, sr., at ths time of the shooting was a member of a company playing at the Trocadero. The bell boy was not prose cuted ss, It was believed ths shooting was accidental.

Circalar ea Jaalor Normals. Stste Superintendent Fowler today Issued a circular regarding the junior normal schools. A portion of it follows: H. R. No. 100 establishes Junior normal schools at Alliance. McCook and Valentine and at more than two other places to be determined bv the state superintendent. Provided, that at each of these places the public school buildings, textbooks ana ap paratuf of the respective school districts be placed at the service of the state under the jurisdiction or the state superintend ent. I have located the two additional ! schools at Holdrege and North Platte. These schools will all begin June 8 and will continue ten weeks, except Valentine, which will open June 15 for a ten weeks term. The conductors will be the local city superintendents, with the exception of the one at North Platte, where Superintendent W. H. Gardner of Auburn will be the con ductor. The appropriation bv the state for these Ave schools for the btetinium Is but $12.00(1; In other words, $1,200 for each school each year. This is the maximum amount that may be ut.ed by one of these schools one year. However, where there are counties In the territory of any of the Junior normal schools that desire to be Incorporated with It under the union normal institute law, and thus by a merging of state and county funds add to the efficiency of the school in faculty, leoture course, and such advan tages and opportunities, we shall be pleased to comply with such requests, as we have already clone at Holdrege and North Platte. AVe shall nmke each school the best possible Wltn the runds at ojr command. The last week of the Junior normal school will be the union normal Institute for those counties Incorporated under this plan, and while attendance at such Institute is as compulsory an attendance at a home In stitute, I would suggest a three to six days' professional Institute in each county, ex cept the county in which the Junior normal school is located. This would accommodate those who have a reasonable excuse for non-attendance at the Junior normal school and the union normal institute. An insti tute fee should be charged those In at tendance at the home Institute. Some of the Instructors whose terms would close with the Junior normal school might be se cured for the home institute at reasonable terms. As a matter of simple justice and as an encouragement to professional train ing, I most heartily recommend that county superintendents excuse those teachers who attend the full term or nearly so of the Junior normal school from the home In stitute, If they desire to be excused. The attendance at these schools depends almost entirely upon the attitude of the county superintendents in such territory. The teachers In these counties need the training which these schools will offer. Hence, the duty of the county superintend ents In their attitude toward these schools is plain. These junior normal schools will be abso lutely free to all teachers and prospective teachers of Nebraska. Not even an insti tute fee can be charged. Attendants must be "14 years of age, of good moral charac ter and of good physical health," who "have a fair knowledge of the common school branches such as may be obtained In the country schools or In the lower eight grades of well-organised city schools." Primary methods will be taught and a model, school conducted at each, point. The railroads make a rate of a fare and one-third for the round trip. Special ar rangements for- board and lodging at reasonable rates should be made at each of these schools. McCook figures from $3 to $3.60 per week for board and lodging. So does Valentine. Alliance, Holdrege and North Platte should do as well. The aver age cost to each teacher for the full term of ten weeks. Including board, lodging, railroad fare, etc.. need not exceed $46. The question has been raised relative to counties using the Institute funds to pay the transportation expenses of their teach ers to the Junior normal schools. I regret that the bill giving such authority failed to become a law. lender the existing satute and the ruling of the attorney general rela tive to this question In connection with the State Normal school at Peru, I am com- Seller) to say that such use of funds would e Illegal. w Enterprise for I.taeala.

Pa-ra-na Eradicate Catarrh from the System. TO THE woman of ancient Israel not to become a mother was regarded as the greatest of early calamities. To become a mother more especially the mother of a strong, healthy boy was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good old bible days. Even now. when maternity Is not esteemed as of yore, the mother of healthy children Is an object Of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As compared with ancient peo ples, the average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood. There are, however, a great many eiceptlona to this ststement. The accompanying letters from grateful women who have been made strong, heslthy and happy mothers need no added words of ours to make them convincing. Catarrh had weakened and impaired their entire systems. Peruna made them sound and well. Mrs. L. M. Griffith, Arco, Idaho, writes: "Your medicine did me a wonderful amount of good. It cured me of barrenness. 44 -vvvvsveefftttfevwvvsv.vT A YOUNQ nOTHER'S LETTER. J Mrs. W. McRoberts writes to. Dr. Hartman from Delano, Miss., tbe following: 4 Delano, Miss. 0 Doctor g. B.

I 0 do all my hoasework and take care of my baby, and feel so good. "There are three or foar of my neighbors aalng Perana now, alaee It did me so mack good. They were Jast ran down and they think It Is 1st. It Is so good to give strength." Mrs. W. Me at Roberts. I am SO years old and never had any chll- dren, but since beginning your medicine I gave birth to a 10-pound baby girl. She Is now six months old and weighs 25 pounds. My friends were all surprised. Some would not believe it until they came to see me. "My husband says he never saw such a change In any one as there was In me after I had taken three or four bottles of Peruna.

I never ssw or heard of anything half so good. I can never thank you enough for your kindness. In cases of la grippe it works like a charm. It cured my baby when other medicines failed. She was real bad with la grippe." Mrs. L. M. Griffith. came up in county court this morning and the defendant was dismissed by the county ;udge.
