State Superintendent McBrlen has Issued
the .following ststement:
Ow.ng to the , great amount of work
rlacd upon, this department by the new

i;iii decline all Invitations for new en

mvrelf will be own for educational en

temoer si. we snail accept inviianona in
the order of their receipt at tms oruce.
Ko Shortage of Teachers,
State Superintendent McBrlen believes the
talk of a shortage of teachers In Nebraska
this year Is premature and the supply will
meet the demand. In discussing this matter
1ih tjilri:
While the new certification law, as well
a other agencies, will make a wholesome
demand for teachers this year, we believe
that the demand will be met by a suffi
cient number of well qualified teacners.
No doubt there will be a shoi-toae of teach
ers In some counties at the opening of the
rihool vear. as there haa been for several
years past, but this emergency will be met
by a surplus of teachers In other counties,
and hIbo by a considerable number of well
oinlifled tt-achers from other states. Bu
perlntendents should make use of home
tut so far as possible, but they should
fvtnnt hmrfv welcome to well n lift 1 i Hfd
teachers from other counties and other
states when the demand warrants it. We
rhall be pleaded to hear from eountlea In
nrrrl of teachers and the number wanted.
The reporta from the July and August
examinations will be made with all possible
n eed A sufficient number of special ex
aminers will te added to our force In order
to report nnoK to county iopnnnnanu
the results of the August examination not
later than eeruember 1.

WEEPING WATERS ACADEMY

WEEPING WATER, Neb.. July .-8pe-
clal.) In nineteen clasaea Weeping Water
academy haa fitted 126 for regular college
work, mafiy of whom have entered Doane
college, the University of Nebraska and
other colleges. In addition to these, some
have finished business and music courses.
Prlnclpsl Taylors twelfth annual report
waa heartily applauded by the trustees at
their recent annual meeting and deserves
a larger hearing In Nebraska. The trus
tees have set about the task of clearing
up the deficit of about tt.ono before Sep
tember. In addition to pledges, a travel
ing man for a large houae In Omaha writes
he secretary a nice letter and aaya that
he will be one of twenty to go down fur
$50 per year for five years toward the an
nual Income of the academy. He Is par
ticular that there ahould be not less than
twenty signatures arid that each signature
should stand for 60. Hers la Principal
Taylor's report:
Aside from the financial cloud which
lowered over us, with a special darkness
In the summer of 1906, and haa been with
ua tne year throuah. tne won of the
academy haa shown a healthy Ufa and
growth.
The attendance in all departments will
show an lncreuxe, though the enrollment
In the music department, not being well
reported, prevents absolute definite fig
ures. 1 count liH different persons enrolled,
sixty-three of them in literary work. This
Is a U ptr cent increase In literary fctu
dents over last year, and the total en
rollment la za per cent greater than last
year.
i ne graduating class, In the lines of tho
three-) ear courses, Is not- so large as
usual, owing; to so many of last year's
middle class having back- work and teellng
that they ought certainly to take another
year in finishing their courses. The uiuas
for next year, however, blda fair to oe
an unusually large ana strong one, though
some of its members are not likely to flniah
preparation hers.
tne quality or tne students nas Deen
varied, as always; but the leading body
of students have had high ideaia and the
work none, the principal believes, of very
high average. On the uther hand, we have
set-ined to have several examples of ex
treme lnaolence. Of Insubordination and of
careless conduct, that grew too heavy to
carry with safety. Three were set certain
dmlnite tasks and suspended, after warn
ing, until they did the - thing required.
Three were requested at the close of the
term not to return, and some others
dropped out, as sickness or too great pres
sure gave occasion. The thirty-three who
are active students to the very end of the
year are of unusually high average In
laithfulness and earnestness.
SDlntually this haa been a good year for
the school. The meetings conducted In the
village by Evangelist Oeorge H. Will lams,
while stlrrrlng, were held from over-excitement,
and the whole achool waa strongly
influenced by them. Twenty-one or our stU'
dents made profession of Christ or public
reconsecratlon during me time or me
meetings, anu a good, wholesome result of
the meetings has gone through the year.
The Christian association meetings have
been ateadily and atrongly helpful. For
the first time we have sent a representative
to the Young Men's Christian association
conrerence ai utue wm -to
send a representative to Waterloo to tho
Young Women's Christian association con
ference In August. In both cases the as
sociation bears half of the expenses, meet,

The breaklnar of the teaching force by

Phllnriolnhlii to he enmnanv for a widowed
hum to whom ahe was under, ares t obliga
tion, have troubled the work ana inter
fered with its efficiency. But In place of
magnifying this side we should doubtless
congratulate ourselves on having been able
to meet these exigencies with little of
loss. Miss Grace Countryman of Weeping
Water was at hand and was persuaded to
enter the faculty for the remainder of the
winter term, and it waa found that Miss
Leyenberger had very opportunely finished
the work of the Grlnnell college course three
months before the time of graduation ana
waa ready to take up work with us In
April, ror tnis term we nave iouna miss
Leyenberger a very faithful helper, quiet,
patient, steady and ready -for all work en
trusted to her. In the exigency of Miss
Means' leaving. Mrs. Ida Cowlea Day took
up the work and haa carried It on with her
usual energy and thoroughness. Thus the
work of the year haa gone on, with ita
encouraging snd discouraging ' features,
much aa ordinarily.
But out or the year also nag come mucn
of special encouragement. The cottage and
ooaraing nan nave Deen especially satis
factory. Tho cistern has been put In work
ing order snd several other Improvements
which will be of permanent value have been
begun or, carried forward on the cottage
property without expense to the general
academy treasury. The financial burden
seems to hsve begun to bear more heavily
on the hearts at home, and outside, and
Is being shown already In much larger glfta.
Persona In Uncoln have put In ISO to 50
each toward the year's expenses. A Verdon
man has made a SJ donation and the Weep
ing Water Congregational church fairly
roae to the problem with a collection of
nearly 1500 In cash and nearly 1300 more
In pledges. But most encouraging Is the
spreading of a feeling In the nome com
munity, and outside, that the academy
ought to be looked on. supported and man
aged as a permanent thing. Nothing,
In the judgment of the writer, haa more
handicapped the work of the academy than
the opinion held firmly by a few, granted
by more, and looked upon aa quite possible
by many, that the work was almply an
experiment. 1 have no quarrel with one
who honestly thinks so, but to me It seems
that the need for sn academy at Weeping
Water will be far greater twenty-five
years from now than even now. There Is
no question or a continually growing need
and patronage, provided only the achool
be properly maintained and developed. We
are the only achool of thla kind In two or
three eountlea. The public schools of this
section need us as a tonic in Intellectual
and moral lines; the church needs us aa a
connecting link directly with the great
force of education and as a source of
supply for bringing Its best youth Into Its
Homing ministry and laity. - As said be
fore. It la a source of greatest encourase
ment that thla spirit is growing rapidly
now. We ought to meet the new SDlrlt aa
trustees with the determination to plan
courageously for such permanency.
1. It seems to the principal that definite
plana ought to be laid to clear tho deficit
at the earliest poaslble day and to lay our
pians so aa to put tne most pressure pos
sible on us for this csrrylng out at last.
I. To plan for some arrangement wherebv
a regular Income may be provided and the
nature and work of the school be put fully
and persistently before the people, young
and old.
t. To lay plana as soon and as wisely as
possible to secure real estate about some
central point lor more permanent build
Ins a.
Above alt. we would realise as fully as
ws can that a comparatively few people, of
comparatively small meana, can carry on
a work like thla, and reallalng this, we
should set our faces to this work with the
unquestioned determination that It shall
bo on.
And ws can do this with an earnest faith
that In no other way can we really do
more with the same money, for ourselves
In the highest sense for the state, for
the church and for the kingdom, than In
establishing Weepinc Water academv so
permanently, planting it so well, that It
shall grow and have a large and larger

After being cut Hanson ran for a short

An unusual and Important event takes
place In Humboldt this week, starting Fri

minister came horseback up Into thla coun
try to meet with the different aettlements
of pioneers In the year 1S66. The members

"Doing Things"
The way to do a thing these days is to do it quick and
right.
We've been working along serious lines of late trying to get
you to see some of the crying needs of the day and how they
can be met, and we've put into the struggle every pound of
nerve and force we have. And now that midsummer is here,
when everybody "lets-down" and wants lighter reading, we have
put the same nerve and force into a special fiction number.
For August, we have undertaken to get together
the liveliest and best collection of stories ever seen in a
magazine not just as good, or only a little better, but
'way ahead the best.
We have interested in our plan such writers s Jack
London, Lloyd Osbourne, O. Henry, Arthur McFarlanc,
William Bulfin, Roy Norton, and such artists as Philip
Goodwin, George Gibbs, Dan Smith, Martin Justice.Will
Crawford and Karl Anderson. They have caught the
spirit most superbly, and have given us nine mighty
good stories, any one of six (five anyway) good enough to
be the "star" story of any fiction number ever published.
Just get this August fiction number of Everybody's
and see what we mean by "doing things."
No; we haven't forgotten our serious work we never lose
sight of that. We are living for that.' There's " Soldiers of the
Common Good," Russell's fact-story on Japan, the Mystery
Nation the new force let loose upon the rest of the world, the
great dominating trust-fighting and trust-absorbing government,
so full of suggestions to us Americans. We hope you are reading
Russell's series. Then there's Teague showing the inner work
ings of the Bucket Shop game with a terrible arraignment of
the foul sneak-thieves who steal a hundred million dollars a year,
from those whom they profess to advise. Mr. Lawson varies
his usual instalment with a humorous but deep-underneath
earnest talk on " Muck and Muck Rakers."
Everybody's for August the great fiction magazine
of the year. Always the great fact-story magazine.
Get it.

PITTSBURO. July 19. Following a sen
sational attack on the character of Augus
tus Hartje n which It waa alleged that
he had taken two different women fre
quently to a questionable resort, ths real
sensation of ths day lit the Hartje divorce
trial culminated this afternoon when Judge
Robert S. Fraaer admitted, under bitter
protest of opposing counsel, testimony re
lating to the charges of conspiracy against
John I Welshons, a prominent merchant,
Augustus Hartje, the llbellant. and Clifford
Mooe, the negro coachman, now In Jail on
perjury charges for alleged false swearing
In ths case.
Welshons, who was called by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel, told a clear story of how
the deposition was secured from Hooe. He
said that Hooe then left the city and the
wltneas told of having given him various
small sums of money at different times.
This looked like blackmail, ,the witness,
said. He said he ntlght have told Hooe
that he would be sent to the penitentiary
for perjury If he did not stick to the
original, story he told. Welshon's story.
It is said, colncldea very closely to tho
statement of Hooe. relating to the case.
which la In the possession of the district
attorney. This waa tha first attempt dur
ing the trial to present evidence of sn al
leged conspiracy, which Mrs. Hartje's
counsel declares was formed to defame
her. Welshons Is a close friend of Augus
tus Hsrtje and Is accused with Hsrtjs and
Hooe of conspiring against Mrs. Hartje.
Heee Charged with Perjary.
Hooe, months ago, made a deposition In
which he said he had been Intimate with
Mra. Hartje. He afterward repudiated It
and Is now In JaU on a charge of per
jury. Welshons maintained steadily that
Augustus Hartje knew nothing of the fact
that he had given Hooe money and ad
mitted that Hartje's attorneys had told
Hooe that If be was not telling the truth
they would prosecute him.
Attorney J. Bcott Ferguson, for Mrs
Hartje, ssld they had a letter showing that
ths defense hsd taken the deposition of a
witness knowing that his testimony
false and that they also would show that
an attempt had been made to tamper with
wltnsases.
Mrs. Hartje's counsel opened up a new
line In ths defense ir presenting evidence
to show that Hartje had visited a dis
orderly house and had mat an Immoral
woman there. A servant of ths house Is
to so testify snd Madlna, the coachman.
Is to ecwdborata ths testimony.
Mors testimony on band writing was also
taken during ths day, when Samuel C.
Malone. an expert of Baltimore, was called

same lines aa those on that side which
had preceded him.
Mlaa Seott Rot Recalled.
Ths spectators at the twelfth day ol
the trial of the divorce case of Augustus
Hartje against hla wife, Mary Scott Hartje,
were disappointed when Miss Helen Bcott,
sister of the respondent, was not again
called to the witness stand when court
was called. She waa being croaa-ezamlned
by counsel for Hartje on the most Inter
esting part of her teatlmony when an ad
journment was taken Immediately and it
was expected the cross-examination would
be continued today.
It la said the torn letter Identified by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel yesterday In order to show
that Mrs. Hsrtje and "Tom" Msdtne, the
coachman co-respondent In ths case, had
been corresponding with Miss Scott as the
go-between, wilt be Introduced In evidence
when the plaintiff begins his rebuttal. Alt
attempts to learn the character of these
letters were a faHure, Hartje's counsel de
claring the public muat wait until they are
presented In court. It is understood
Hartje has hsd experts at work on ths tet
ters several days.
Expert on the Stand.
Samuel C. Malone of Baltimore, a hand
writing expert, was the first witness
called. He went a little farther than the
other experts or Mrs. Hartje by declar
ing that characteristics of certain letter
formations In some of the exhibits showed
that there had been "an attempt to put
someone off the track." Malons also said
that, In his opinion, ths pieces of tba mu
tilated letter which form exhibit No. It
had been pasted on cardboard before they
had been written.
When Mrs. Qerone Bechtold. the next
witness, took ths stand, and counsel fop
ths respondent attempted to show that
the plaintiff had visited a questionable re
sort with a woman, attorneya for Hartje
vigorously objected and a long argument
enaued. The objections wers overruled by
Judge Fraser. The witness, who wss a
chambermaid In the house, explained ths
character of ths place and testified tftat
