Mojo than one hundred attended the meeting of the Douglas county teacher -atUiuay afternoon and nil present were greatly pleased with the program as ar ranged by County Superintendent Yoder. Tho only regret oxprensed was on ac count of the Inability 'of Superintendent llgnter of the l.mco'.n schools to be prerent and deliver the address for which he wiyi scheduled. However, his place was filled by Dr. Knight, head ot jbe physical department of the Lincoln yhogla. His talk was along health lines and proved entertaining, "and at Its close he was loudly applauded. Miss Goldle Vawter presided ' at the piano and rendered a couple of solos In it most charming manner. In connection with the paper on "Hvery Day I'roblems In Teaching," by Prof. Odell, it developed that Mr, O'Shay, uutliar of Rome book on educational top ics, had given the Inference that In. his Judgment there Is a tendency to devote too, much attention to the higher educa tion of women and that In the schools and -colleges they are being educated along lines that so far as they are con cerned, aro not practical or useful In after years. The inference accredited to Author O'Shay at once became the target of the teachers. Of the teachers present fully 93 per cent were women and some twenty or thirty took occasion to join Issue, with tho book wVlter. and when they were through with him his contention was riddled. The- speakers showed that women, who have had the benefits of higher educa tion, now all over the world arc filling positions of honor and! trust, that in states where equal suffrage Ins been adopted, many of the county and state officials aro women and that every where their opinions are recognlred and respected. They showed that among the women who have enjoyed the privileges of, higher education hundreds are In the professions and everywhere are success ful In about everything that they un dertake.

Tests under the supervision ot Dr. Cooley and Bosste were Immediately made, and of the 111 samples nine were found below the standard. Bossle at once filed complaints In police court against these and ' warrants are being served as fast as officers can find the keepers of the stores. Twenty gallons of good milk taken as samples, was divided between the City Mission and the Salvation Army by Hossle, after It had been tested. Mrs, Spencer Dies of Heart Failure Mrs. John II.

Western Companies Capable of Success and Merit Support ."Tha necessity 'and advantage ot patronizing our western Insurance com panies should be Just as apparent to tho thinking man as the benefit which Is derived from any other form of home co-operation and home boosting. The arguments put forth by those whose per sonal Intorests are Involved against such patronage aro based largely upon the assumption that tho caliber of brains nnd Intelligence which guldtd tho east ern companies to success are peculiar to that section of the country; thnt what has been done cannot be done again, and that the wheels of progress, along the lines of successful Insurance building, have ceased to revolve, leaving the only source of good Insurance at the doors of a handful of millionaire com panies," according to the head of a pio neer Nebraska, company. "Fortunatoly, with characteristic west ern spirit, thousands of men and women refuse to believe that those who are at the head of our western Insurance com panies are Incapable ot leading them to a successful state, and aro helping by their patrorhgcCto build up not a few strong and prosperous western Insurance com panles. These people recogntzo that tho same Found principles of Insurance which have been applied to tho good eastern companies may bo also made to work In the Interest of the western Institutions. "Tho growth and development of this western country ik not being doubted by anyone. Metropolitan cities aro being rapidly shaped and the village Is every where assuming the proportions ot the town, and tho town Is fast becoming the city. Every other phase of commercial advancement Is keeping step with this progress. Why, then, should not the Im portant field of insurance be correspond ingly pushed forward In this western country?" . Life Insurance is Only Safe Protection Ufo Insurance Is a sure defender of the home and family at that most crlttcal tlmo when tho husband and father can no longer defend them. There aro thousands ot men who on account ot lack ot capital or opportunity, or business education nnd training, cannot do much moro than pro vide n dally living. They cannot accumu late wealth, or oven lay by In store a sufficiency for tho evil day. To such families tho only sure nnd available safe guard Is n policy of Ufo Insurance. Hero Is tho way tho lato Dr. Talmngts excoriated the man of family who failed to protect them with life Insurance: "You, at death, moro Into a mansion, river front, and they moro Into two rooms on tho fourth story of a tenement house In n back street. When they nro out at the elbows nnd the knees, the thought of your splendid roba In heaven will not keep them warm. The minister may preach a splendid sermon over your re mains and the quartet may sing like angels, but your death will bo a swindle. You had tho means to provldo for the comfort of your household when you left It nnd you wickedly neglected It. "It Is meanly selfish for you to be so absorbed In the heaven to which you ar going that you forget what is to become of your wife nnd children after you go. If you could nay tho premium on a policy and neglected them, It Is a mean thine for you to go up to heaven while they go to the poor house."

SUES SHERIFF FOR DAMAGES FOR DEATH OF DR. DIBBERN Mrs. Mary Dlbbern, widow of Dr. Claudius Dlbbern, who died in the county Jail a year ago while awaiting trial on a charge of violating the United States postal laws, has brought suit In district court, asking 120,000 damages from Sheriff McShane. She alleges that negligent treatment of Dlbbern caused his fatal Illness. That windows In the Jail were left open In rtormy weather, that Dlbbern was compelled to steep with only nu blanket over him and that he was refused the privilege of securing extra bedding nf his own are Mrs. Dlbbc'rti's charges. Dlbbern was arrested during a nation wide campaign against doctors whom methods were questionable. Mrs Dlb bern alleges that his earnings averaged more than 1300 a month. Tho good old days ot many years ago were brought back by a younger gen eration last night, when the sons and several friends of D. S.

Old-fachloned game, kid games, were Indulged ' In with reckless abandon. Everybody joined from Mr. Lemley him self to his four llttlo grandchildren. After the games the rugs were swept to one side, the furniture removed, and, with Dave Fabowltz pounding tne piano, everybody danced to the latest rags, be cause Teblowlts didn't know how to play any older strains, like "The Arkansas Traveler." and not because the recent melodies were tho most popular. A big feed was a feature ot the entertainment Mr. Lemley'i home was Just completed a little' while ago. Ills former homo at 713 Parker street waa totally destroyed by the tornado of Kaster Sunday last March. Those who attended the house warming were. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Feblowltx, Mr. and Mrs. J, A.
