Sabbath seas:l Institute.

1t was the good fortune of several
persons from various sections Of the
county to meet at Guide Rock On Sat-
urday last in the capacity Of Sabbath
School Institute.
II was called to order by Rev. j. Q.
Potter of Red Cloud, and after a sea-
son Of devotional exercises, Bro. d.
II. Miuick was called to the chair, and
Bro. }. Dunbar was chosen secretary.
In the afternoon the topic, How
shall Sabbath Schools be best sustain
ed" was well discussed by different
speakers, and if our schools could be
carried on in unison with the suggest
ions then given we should see q mark.
ed change for the better. The ques-
ton was then opened by the President
and the question answered by able re
marks upon methods Of conducting
schools, duties OF teachers. superin-
tendents, &c. Saturday evening Rev.
Mr.. Stone addressed the Institute on
the subject, "How shall public senti-
ment be best moulded in favor of
Sabbath Schools? The address was
an able one, which ought to have been
heard by every one interested in Sab
bath School work. The remainder of
the questions were answered, and ad-
journed to meet with the Sabbath
School in the morning.
Met Sabbath morning, and listeaee
to a class exercise by Mrs. Smith of
Guide Rock, which was we'll apprecia-
ted. An article entitled Jesus, JUS
tice, and the Sinner" was read by
Miss Noyes of Red Cloud. A short
Bible exercise was given by J.. q. Pot
ter, followed by singing, and a sermon
by Rev. Stone.
The people deserve the thanks of
those who attended FROM a distance
for their genial and generous hospital
ity, and for their interest in the work,
making everyone feel that it was a
rich treat TO be with such people and
unite with them in the noble cause of
Sabbath Schools.
The next Institute will be called as
soon after the Fourth" as practical
BILE, either at Walnut Creek or Ina
vale. Due notice will be given in
time. SECRETARY.

original districts to assume the inieb,-

original districts to assume the indeb.-
edness.
Many make a mistake here. j, ha.
been genersly supp sd tina, when a
new district is formed, the portion that
/. left j. answeratle 10 the first instance
for the previous Indebtedness and
that the whole Of the original district
is only liable 10 case the latter does
not meet the bonds. Instead Of this the
whole is primarily held for the debt,
and the new district can look to the
old district for its share Of the value of
the school property at time Of divi-
sion.
Nothing could be more inequitable,
than to bold that the district after the
larger portion of the property and
land has been divided from it, is still
he'd for the payment Of the bonds.
At the time the bonds We're issued,
the county was new, the dlstric were
large, labor and material we're high.
The bonds sold at considerable dis
count, and there was more or less loss
experienced by the districts from the
dishonesty OF inability Of employees
and officers. SO that, in most cases a
very large Indebtedness, has been in
Cured to build school houses. To a
number Of instances the school prop
erty does not represent more than
half the value Of the
bonds. 1t would be man
ifest injustice to compel a small por-
ton of the territory to pay this indeb;-
edness for the school house, while
there is nothing unfair in requiring
the whole district to answer for its
mistakes and misfortunes. Whatever
losses occurred in the building of the
school house were, and still are, the
losses of the original district. What
ever disadvantages interviewed were
likewise the disad vantages of the whole
territory, and there is no way now Of
escaping them.
An understanding of this nay lessen
the number of divisions. The district
that takes the school house simply
pays the present value Of the house.
The whole original territory pays the
Indebtedness.
The Red Cloud chief., 1876-06-08

The inhabitants of school district
No. 20, have been enjoying a very in
terestiDg and disagreeable squabble.
Some time ago, a young man by the
name Of Rush was employed to teach
the school. 1t seems that there was
some opposition to Rush. On the
first day of school he found the school
house without any door, bis enimies
having chosen to express their kOstil-
ity to him by removing the door and
other movables about the building.
MIR. Rush resigned Immediately.
Soon, another teacher was employed.
and she soon became annoyed and
harrassed in every way open to a Sc
cret foe, until she was driven to give
up the school. Finally letters were
SEM to the members of the school
board demanding their resignation
and threatening to burn them out if
they refused. The director was about
to leave the country and paid no at
tention to the threats. The others
resigned.
As yet nothing definite has been
discovered. although suspicion is gen.
erly directed to some parties living
zeal the school house. 1t is to be
hoped that the people of the District
will not allow themselves be buIlied in
this manner by these unknown ruff
fans, but that they will spare no a.
mount of time or labor to ferret out
the offenders and bring them before
the courts. 1t is a disgrace to the
district and, to the county that such
men should be tolerated in a com-
munity.

ED. CHIEF.-We have nothing new
to boast Of except a sort ola battle
among the inhabitants of Town 2 in
this precinct, but not knowing the
particulars cannot say much about it.
The one that came off second best
went to see our worthy j. p. but he
mot got any books vet," and could
safford nc relief. IL is reported that
they went to Red Cloud and could not
get legal advice that suited them !; so,
without being the ieas bit discouraged
they found their way over into Muck.
oils Co. where l suppose they will find
able counsel.
Some of our friends in this part of
the county are wondering out loud
what became of tina. petition that ask
ed for a bridge across Liberty Creek.
Last fall when it was presented to the
Commissioners, it was laid aside for
future consideration, but has not been
heard of since.
| suppose We will soon hear some
thing more about the marrow
Gauge" r. R. but would not the
broad gauge be better for US? Of
course We ought to try with all our
might to build up our State Capital,
but | fear it would bs poor policy to
vote bonds to build a road, and then,
if We want to ship any thing east, be
compelled to pay at Lincoln for trans
ferring to an other road.
If Lancaster county votes bonds.
the question will doubtless be submit
ed to US in due time. There are some
here that think it ought to be sub
United to the precincts separately.
This is some thing of interest to all,
We ought to know what we are doing
now so We will do nothing that We
will be sorry for in the future.
Crops are good and weather fine.
Yours etc. Ankle.
