ARAPAHOE The Furnas county teach
ers' Institute Is a disappointment as to en
rollment and number of teachers In at
tendance, which will not exceed 110. This

so many have attended the summer schools
at Holdrege and McCook and also taken
special work at Lincoln, Peru and other
places that excuses the teachers from at
tendance at county Institutes.

German Lutheran, St. Lucas' church.
With tho assistance of business men of
the town the r.ew organisation has pur
chased the old Congregational church for
Its services. The reasons slleged for lesv
ing the mother church are lack of freedom
of thought and speech accorded to mem
bers and the barring from membership ot
the church members of secret societies.
STANTON There are Indications that
a shortage of teachers may exist in Stan
ton county the coming school year. The
new Isw, which requires thst applicants
for certificates pass a state examination,
hss caused many teachers to fa'l In the
examination. These will be given more
time and an additional opportunity to inoiu
good. Tbe consequent demand for teach
ers has caused an Increase In the wages
paid, so that 640 per month in country
districts Is the standard and many teach
ers will receive 646 and some ae high as
l&O per month.

SETTLEMENT MADE ON DIFFERENTIALS
Kaasaa City Falls te Get Additional
Advaatage Over Omaha -Oat-caase
Regarded Perasaaeat
ae the Galf.
The adjustment of the grain rates which
waa reached at Chicago Wednesday by
representatives of the western and south
ern roads Is looked upon as a complete
victory for the southern lines.
This question of the differential between
the Gulf lines and the Atlantic seaboard
lines has long been a bone of contention.
Many attempts have been made at adjust
ment, but the southern lines always re-'
fused to give up their advantage In posi
tion In running to the nearest ports. The
differentials have been different at differ
ent times, ranging from t to H cents.
Under the present agreement, which Is
looked upon as a permanent adjustment of
the situation, the gulf lines are given the
advantage of a differential of 6 cents,
which Is more' than waa ever given be
fore. This probably was granted In con
sideration of their giving up their clalml
for the right to pay fobbing charges. This
has been the stumbling block to an ad
justment at the last few meetings of traf
fic officials. The southern lines Insisted
upon the right to absoro these charges,
which gave them an advantage, because
of the cheapness of labor St the southern
ports. Fobbing charges vsry at different
ports. At Baltimore they are 1 cents and
at New York 1.6 cents.
Although Ksnsas City msde a fight to
hae the differential between Omaha and
Kansas City raised from t to 2 cents that
Is left as Jt was, 1 cent. The same dif
ferential applies as between Omaha and
Kansas City or. grain to Minneapolis and
Duluth.
By the adjustment Chicago Is given no
advantage over Omaha, but receives the
same privilege which Omaha enjoys. The
Chicago lines are given the transit privi
lege at Chicago on the Missouri river
rate, or the right to stop tn Chlcsgo, put
ting In the elevators and rebilllng on the
combination of locals. This Is an advan
tage which Missouri river points have en
Joyed over Chicago.
One advantage which will be taken away
fro-n Omaha by this adjustment of rates
will be that the Wabash probsbly will be
forced to cancel Its rate to Buffalo and
the correspondingly low Tate to the sea
board from thla city.

Address of Commander.
The report of Commander-in-Chief Tan
ner covered the work of the Grand Army
last year. No mention was made of the
canteen question, but as to TVIrtx the rec
ommendation was made that the Grand
Army enter a dignified and emphatic pro
test against the erection 6f the monument.
Notwithstanding the fearful Inroads of
death upon the comrades of the Grand
Army of the Republic, Mr. Tanner de
clared, the organisation' today Is 3,500
stronger than at the encampment In Den
ver last year.
He said the Grand Army of the Republlo
haa attained a position at commanding in
fluence, "which has been-beneficial not only
to our own Comrades," but to the nation
which we aerved In Its hoiir of peril."
The commander-in-chief bitterly arraigned
those who, posing as the "most eminent
men of the nation," had proven false to
their trust In various ways, but declared
that among all such the name of no civil
war veteran could be found. On thla sub
ject he said: .
Society's Principles Vital.
Repestedly In the last year, on various
public occasions, I have defiantly, and per
haps arrogantly, called attention to the
fact that while the publlo conscience has
been shocked and outraged by the expo
sure of moral turpitude on the part of many
oi laoee wra aiooa among tne so-called
most emlment men of the nation eminent
in financial 'and religious circles, trusted
guardians of the Interests of widows and
orphans, for whom loved ones dead and
gone had thought they had made careful
safeguard to cover the necessities for com
fort through all their natural Uvea, men
who In church circles stood on the very
steps of the altars, trusted cupbearers of
the cause of Christ, yet who, when their
real characters were exposed, were exhib
ited In such poverty of soul and honor as
compared to them, Lasarus In his lowest
state might Justly be considered a multi
millionaire, and in all the list, search It
from top to bottom, the name of not ono
veteran of the civil war can be found.
The principles the Grand Army of the
Republic stands for, he declared, are vital.
He said It Is strange that any living man
who ever wore the blue Is not a member
of the organization and he urged the cele
bration of the fortieth anniversary by the
bringing In of new members.
Discussing finances, he said that the
amount turned over to his quartermaster
by the administration, after making cer
tain payments, waa $3,279. The utmost econ
omy, however, was necessary in Ha ex
penditure until the Blackmar legacy of 63,000
waa received. N
The attention'of the delegates was called
to the fact that appeals should not be sub
mitted direct to the national officers, but
in all cases should be taken first to depart
ment commanders and then to the commander-in-chief,
. . .
Mr. Tanner then discussed the necessity
for Increased pensions for army nurses and
spoke of the aid rendered to members of
the Grand Army of the Republic on ac
count of the earthquake and fire in Ban
Francisco and adjacent places.'
Obaervmnre of Memorial Day.
The commander-in-chief reiterated his
views expressed In general Orders regard'
Ing a proper observance of Memorial day,
and said that as the result of his recom
mendatlons concerning the graves of con
federates burled on northern soil he hid
received a number of touching messages
from mothers ot the south whose sons are
burled In northern soil, pouring out their
appreciation of the spirit embodied In his
order. These, he said, were too tender and
sacred to be heralded publicly, but If he
had received but one such communication
he would have fell amply JusUMed tor tno
recommendations he made.
Reference also was made to bis recom
mendation that the Sunday preceding Me
morial day be duly observed as Memorial
Sunday In order that the growing custom
In many places of regarding Memorial day
as a mere holiday for games and amuse
ments may be checked.
He expressed gratification at the general
observance of Flag day following Us of
ficial recognition by the thirty-ninth en
campment. While the observance of the
14th of June aa Flag day by the Grand
Army of the Republic had Ita value for
those who had reached mature life, he
said, Ita primary object was to Inspire the
young with love for their country.

any monument that might be desired. He
declared, however, that the Veterans of
the Confederate Army were not In ap
preciable degree interested In the move
ment. The whole project, he said, had its
Impetus and force among tho women of
the south. After deprecating the necessity
for calling publlo attention to the matter,
he said:
As one who welcomes with Joy every
movement calculated to assuage the linger
ing pains of that mighty conflict, I depre
cate to the last degree any movement of the
kind proposed, and I think that It Is duo
to ourselves, to our great organisation and
to the truth of history, that this encamp
ment should place on record before the
publlo at large a most forcible but dignified
protest against any such impious shaft
being permitted to raise Its head toward
high heaven."
Pension Legislation.
The successful efforts of himself and "bis
associates before the committees of con
gress to secure needed pension legislation
f ot union veterans were detailed at length,
Mr. Tanner's remarks on this subject bulng
followed by a history of the effort made
at the' last session of congress to forcibly
retire from the public service ex-unlon sol
diers who had reached a certain age limit.
I confess," he said, "that in all the years
which have elapsed since the close of the
war no movement directed against be in
terests of our comrades has so startled
and shocked me as this movement did."
However, friends of the soldiers on the
floor of the house," he said, "had been
able to block the proposed legislation and
until the next session of congress at least
our comrades are' secure."
The commander-in-chief closed his ad
dress with a touching tribute to his wife,
who died In Montana last June as the resiilt
of an accident.
The heat which caused so much suffer
ing continues, with no prospect of cooler
