"' the state brought such excellent at-
j tendance-that the enrollment suffered
very little: in the total. ,
St. Edward, for example, was here
with eleven teachers -while Ihe-teach-

with seven, while last year there were
no teachers from that place. PlatU?
mouth enrolled thirty-one. while last

sixteen here this year against two
last. year. Wisner had; seven at
against two. Eagle had five, and none
' last year.. South Sioux City had six
as against three the previous year.
Lexington also had six as against
three. North Bend brought fifteen as
against six the previous year. Snyder
enrolled four as against one the fr.e

; More Representative. ,
There . are representative towns
frnm all over the state that show up
the attendance at the association to
have been more representative than
ever, in spite of the efforts on the part
of some to withhold attendance,
Siiiw-rintendenta and school boards
in certain sections of the state sought
to hold down the attendance, and
thus it is found on checking over the
; attendance that Aurora enrolled but
five teacher this year as against
' thirty -four last year. ... A. Ei Fischer
it superintendent there; ' Only frag
ment of the Lincoln teachers came
over: out of Something over 300 who
! normally attend.. Superintendent Fred
i Hunter was p for one day only. In
i Adams' county the influence of this
movement against the association was
- also seen -in, r that there were -but
i twenty-seven teachers here from, the
' rnuntv. as aeamst sixtv-five the year
before. Johnson county also fell un
der thi spell," the whole county pro
ducing but even enrollments out of
forty-three last year.-' Jefferson coun
ty is another where the influence of
the anti-essoeiationiiti is strong. But
four teachers came from that county,
out-of forty-four last year. Kearney
was meagerly represented at this
year's eonventidrt. A. L. Cavmess it
superintendent there. ;
These are a few significant facts
the preliminary cheek of this year's
enrollment shows.. The Increased in
terest among the smaller towns all
over the state, however, has brought
ih attendance well up to former
starts; and the .attendance thit year
was something over 3,700. (

OPENS ABOUT JANUARY 1
The Co-Operstive Employment
bureau, sponsored by the United
States government, the state, county
and city, although the state has no
funds for the project at the present
time, will be opened in the court house
about the first of the year. .. i j
-The use of (he large room on the
ground floor of the court house, fac
ing Harney street, formerly used at
. branch station of the public library,
and more recently as recruiting sta
tion, was granted at a meeting of the'
county commissioners Tuesday morn
ing.
If is the intention of those who will
be in charge of the bureau to furnish
employment of all kinds vocational
and labor for both men and women.
As the name implies, the bureau is to
be conducted on a co-operative basis.
The county furnishes the room, the
government the furnishings and equip
ment and the state and the city go
fifty-fifty on the expenses of the cler
ical force. Bids on the equipment are
to be asked for in t few days. While
the state has no funds for the' labor
bureau at the present time, agitation
is said to be under way for legislation
that will permit the state to bear part
pf the expense. ,; ' ; i ' i i

Street Railway Company
Finishes Some-New Cars
During last summer in its Omaha
shops the street .railway company
started building twenty-five cars for
the city lines. "Thirteen of these
cars were completed and put out on
to the lines for the Ak-Sar-Ben rush
traffic. Another was turned out
Monday, going into service on the
Harney line .and the remainder will
be ready for service before ' the
Christmas rush sets in. '

long, with each having a seating ca
pacity for thirtyisix people. They

circumstances, and Prof. Landsberg's
interest and declaration that he would
educate Anna in the profession be
loved won a regard and affection
from both mother and child that was
pitiful to behold at the funeral serv
ices conducted in Hoffman's chapel
Monday afternoon.
. The little girl first learned of her
instructor's death on the car Saturday
evening, and upon reaching home was
so overcome with grief that she was
placed under the care of a physician.
The sight of the last music lesson
that Prof. Landsberg had given her
so affected the child that her condi
tion was really precarious for a time,
as she is very delicate.
At the funeral both mother and
little girl wept bitterly when they
looked for the last time on the face
of their friend, and it ; was through
the invitation of a sympathetic witness
that they were able to go to Pleasant
Hill cemetery.
Miss Martha Schumann, the be
trothed of the dead man, asserted at
Hoffman's that in her opinion ' ill
health was the reason why Landsberg
took his life. ' ... . T

concerned. Now the Scope of this
order has been broadened, taking in
halls, corridors, lobbies, toilets and

prohibits the scattering of saliva that

Dr. Caldwell' $ Syrup Pepsin
the Family Laxative for
Many Years .
Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyie, III.,
recently wrote to Dr. Caldwell, at
Monticello, III., that -she has used Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in her home
for a number of years, and would
not be without it, as with it she has
been able to keep her four children
in perfect health.
. Dr. - Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts on the bowels
in an easy, natural way, and regu
lates the aation of this most imoor-
tant function. Nearly all the sick
ness to which children are subject
is traceable to bowel inaction, and a
mild, dependable laxative, such as Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, should have
a place in every family . medicine
chest. It is pleasant to the taste and
children like it, and take it readily,
while it is equally effective for adults.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
in drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents a bottle.' To avoid imitations
and ineffective substitutes be sure you
get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See
(hat a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's sig
nature and his. portrait appear on

is packed. A trial bottle, free of
