Neb., Feu, l3.-Speclal.) The question' of voting a S-mlll levy in Custer county for the purpose of building' a new court house to take the placa of that burned some time ago is now upper most in the minds of the people. The elec tion Is called for March 1. and. it la thought among the people here that the levy will carry. While most counties find it neoea sary to vote bonds for' court house pur poses, the excellent financial condition in Custer county makes it . possible to en tirely wips out the debt with a 6-mlll levy in one year. Some opposition has devel oped In certain parts of thepounty, where the division sentiment . is the strongest, principally at, Calloway, Analey and Sar gent, which towns have always been pros pective county seats under proposed division lines. A report has been circu lated that the 6-mlll levy was to be made on the actual value Instead of the assessed value cf the county and that instead of raising $,"5,000 for thla court .house, which would be the amount . raised on the as sessed valuation, ' that the levy 'on ' the actus! value would raise five times that amount. Ex-Supreme Judge' Silas A. Hoi comb has come out In the local papers with a signed statement that there is no law whereby the levy could be made on the actual valuation and that such pro ceedings, would be absolutely, impossible. This letter baa had great effect in straight ening this feature of. the election in the minds of the general public here., James Woods Hefaseel Divorce. BROKEN BOW, Neb.. Feb. IS. (Special.)

A sharp criticism of stereotyped school methods and the routine courses of study was uttered by Prof. E. V. Graff, pr'nclpal of the Omaha High school. In an address before the Philosophical society yesterday. Prof. Orsff totk ss his subject "The New View Point In Education." "Tho new, view point In education," de clared Prof, d reft, "is that the purpose of education Is to develop qualities that will fit the student to meet the conditions of life In this world. . "The frequent critlolcm of School work shows thst' Society Is demanding that the schools should keep TCe with Its need. Now subjects have been Introduced unlll the pupils are overburdened. The 'course of study' has become a fetich, and It hi administered like a, dose of medicine. "We do not need new subjects of study, or more sublects," so mu,cj ,ss we need a new view point In educational work. This Implies a new method of educational diag nosis, recognizing tho child as an orgnhlsm to be developed by growth and epeSence under guidance, not a receptacle for -canned wisdom and assorted facts. r 'Our courses of study and pur teaching are the results of the view point . The schools were established to hand down a body of knowledge -which society felt should not be allowed to perlnh. Thai original idea of 'learning' persists. A pup!l may become a walking 'bicyclopcdla' aud yet be of no service. Society always com.-s back to the conception that It Is the func tion of education to fit for life work."

He obtained a Bible and a table of weights and measures, found out from the former the size of Mr. Noah's original boat In cubits and with the aid of the latter turned cub'.ts into feet and then he wrote his story. It was a graphic account of the story of the, remnants of Noah'a menagerie, -which waa alleged td have been found by the Indian. ' ' Crtrw creek.

The story waa aent.. to a Seattle paper originally and was there copied into practically every newspaper in the United States and , was -subsequently translated into about every known language, and now Casey Moran Is in Washington. If he remains here long it is a safe prediction that some of the yarns sent out from Alaska to. the na tional capital will be startlers. He is already telttng some stories of his expe riences In the far north and here Is one of them: "Up in Dawson In the old days," said Mr. Moran with every appearance of quoting the truth, "there wasa Canadian Justice named Constantlne. He was the most wonderful law officer that1 ever graced a ench. But, holy smoke, how he could sWear.. This Judge Constantlne had an ugly habit of fining people promiscuously, so to speak. ,1 happened to be In his court one day wheA Pete Mulcahy was on trial for an assault upon Belle Mead. After listening to the evi dence Judge Constantlne fined Pete 1 25 and costs. The cost was $6. Pete pulled out a $50 bill. The Judge looked Into his desk and could not find any change. He thereupon increased the fine to $50 without coats and kept the entire bill. Then he turned to Belle, whose face was somewhat disfigured, and said to her; 'You have Just come in here with all that blood on your face to create sympathy In this court. I fine you $10 and warn you to keep out of Pete's place and then, you won't get into no row.' This seemed ' tq be so ridiculous I smiled, and there- ' upon, the Judge turned to me, called mo up to. the desk and fined me $10 for con- ; tempt of court." I.lmbrrKer Cheese by Mall. One of the loudest protestors against the present rate Of postage on newspapers ana magazines Is a member of congress who owns a cheese factory. Several years ago this congressman sent a congressional box to Washington addressed to himself upon which was a government frank. A congres sional box, well filled weighs In the neigh borhood of 200 pounds. It came free through the malls. The two colored messengers car ried It Into the house post office by the handle, holding their noses with the other hand, and one of them remarked,. "Bosa, there is certainly something (lead in this yere box." It was opened and found to contain nearly 200 pounds of Hmberger cheese made In the factory of the con gressman who thinks that the second class postage rate is altogether too low and that newspapers and magazines should pay more for the disseminating of literature through the mails. Khk ami LemoM, The Inquiry of the federal authorities into the high cost of food is said to have led to the discovery that there are 36,000,000 eggs in cold storage at the present time. This reminds a western New Yorker of an attempt made by a firm of cheese makers in East Aurora, N. Y., soma years ago to eorner the egg market. They bought (0,000 dozen and stored them in their cheese warehouse which was fitted up for cold storage. Later there was a slump In the lemon market and they bought a thousand boxes of lemons at -a very low figure which they also stored In the same warehouse. Three months later when they were ready to sell their eggs they discovered that tho' eggs contained a combination of welsh rarebit and lemonade. In other words, the strong smell of the cheese and tha oil from the lemons had penetrated every egg ahell to such an extent that not one of the 60,000 dozen waa fit for human food. That firm haa never bought eggs or lemons since that day. 1 1 PILES CI HUD I V O lo 14 DAYS. Paso Ointment la guaranteed to eure any ease of Itching, Blind.

Thomas, Madlsonvllle, Ky. Ha denied his g-nllt, say. lng he was pastor of an Episcopal church in Omaha. ' Later ha- broke down and, sob bing, said his real name was H. D. Helwig of Fairfield, Neb., and that he had recently been pastor of the Thurston (Neb.) Episco pal church and was on his way to accept the charge of a church at Clarksvllle, Tenn. Clarksvllle churchmen corroborated his story. Helwig says he ran short of funds and yielded, believing he could evade arrest be fore the check returned. He was permitted, to send a telegram to his father at Fair field, Neb., asking him to come here at once and get him out of his trouble. There it a- great deal of sympathy for the young parson and the bank officials ma decide not to prosecute him, aa they do not Regard him as a. real criminal, but rather a victim of circumstance.
