THE COUNTRY TEACHERS.

They Will Assemble In Large Num-
bers at the Institute Tomorrow.
Physiology and hygiene will have promi-
nent places in the Teachers institute, which
opens tomorrow morning at the High School
building. County Superintendent Bruner
says he expects a larger attendance this year
than ever before. Instructors of the young
idea have commenced to appreciate these an
nual seasons Of special educational privil-
eyes, and they make it o point TO take ad-
vantage Of them. Particular attention will
be given to primary reading, primary
language work and primary number work,
also to the history of education and didactics
history of the United States and general
history. 1t is further proposed TO dwell at
considerable length on the subject of English
literature, which doubtless will form one of
the most interesting topics OF the institute.
In addition to these various branches, which
will consume every morning session, begin
ming ut $3.50, and continuing until l2 80, a
few moments each day will be
devoted to grammar and English
the direction Of Mrs. Jennie K. Keysor ana
DIR. Mary Stone, the latter an expert on
physiology and hygiene. Every afternoon
these teachers who desire instruction in
book keeping, ~penmanshlp and civil govern
ment, will receive lectures from Professors
R~ohrbough and Lowry, at the Commercial
college. AS the superintendent may, at his
discretion, either revoke or refuse to grant q
certificate to any teacher not attending the
Institute, II ls safe to predict that every one
of the sixty-four country pedagogues will be
here. Last year the enrolment numbered
l0S; this year II will be larger.

LINCOLN BUREAU OF THE OMAHA BEE,
1929 p STREET, :

LINCOLN, August 10.
At an early hour this morning word
reached police headquarters that a maj was
lying dead in q box car, on the b.. Il M.
switch, near the fair grounds. Oficer Post
notified Sheriff Melick, who Is acting coro-
ner in the absence Of Coroner Shoemaker,
and together they removed the body to
Featon's undertaking establishment and an
INQUEST was Immediately held. 1t was found
that the body nat been discovered by an
unknown tramp, and the intelligence carried
to police headquarters by James Lansing,
who was the first witness sworn. He stated
that he found the dead man lying upon an
improvised bed Of hay and straw. having
used his coat for a pillow; that IA Smith g.

hand with one chamber freshly emptied.
He said that he had worked with the man on

This was deemed all tho evidence necessary
by the Jury, and q verdict was found that he

purse and a half-pint flask. A store check
and a postal card bore the name Of James
McFall. The check also bore the name OF
w. G. Shepherd, Atlantic, Ia, in printed
letters. The card was addressed TO him
from the Pacific express office, this city,
notifying HIM that there was a consignment
for him at the office with 30 cents charges.
The purse contained another item Of inter
est. A slip Of paper, worn and faded and
creased, contained these lines:
"Some may wish you happiness,
Some may wish you wealth;
My wish for you IL better far
Contentment blessed with health"
On the reverse side OF the slip were these
family discernable words;
Address all letters to Stuart, Smith

The writing on the slip was certainly from
some school girl-a neutrality-suspicious. a
sister. In any event it was certainly a treas

Supreme Court Cases.

The following cases were filed for trial in
the supreme court to-day:

from the district court of Perkins county.

mer, treasurer of school district IS, OF Platte
county. VS. o. Il. Brodboll, treasurer of the

This Is a case of no little Importance. The
relator seeks TO compel the respondent to
'whack up" $685. so of the license school
fund for the use aud benefit of school dis
trict No. Is. IL seems that saloons were OPP
Grated in Lindsay during the year 1889, and
that there is no school house within the cor
porate limits Of the village, yet
the village Is SO situated as to compose o
part Of two districts, viz; Is and 40. The
treasurer of district Is demanded a proper.
tionate amount Of the license fund Of the vii
lAge treasurer, for school purposes, and was
denied, and ne therefore seeks the peremp-
tory order of the court because the district
In question helps TO educate the school chill
dren Of the village. 1t Is understood that
the village treasurer declines to give up any
OF the license fund for the reason, as he al
leges, that 1t must DO used within the COR
porate limits Of tho village. The respondent

away again. She once called upon a
paper hanger and said that she
had orders from Mrs. Fletcher in the
west to lave her house papered. The man
did the work, but after 1T was done Mrs.
Fletcher denied having told Mrs. McFar-
land to order the work. Upon cross-examin-
alton the witness named a number of persons
whom he had heard speak of Mrs. McFar-
lands lack of truthfulness. Some of these,
he said, were relatives of Colonel Fletcher.
Colonel Fletcher was recalled to the stand
and identified the check mentioned above as
his own and swore that he paid it for the
cart. u"7
After the counsel for the defense IAN
nounced that their evidence was all in, I'M
less a certain other witness whom they ex-
pected should arrive while the evidence in
rebuttal was being offered, and in this event
they would like to be permitted to submit
the additional testimony. The request was
granted and the honorable court adjourned
until Monday morning.
