Normal Notoa.

q. @. McNeal and Prof, Emery
aon't always agree on psychology.
Mrs. r. y. Emery came up Satur-
day to visit her husband and hear
Weaver speak.
Generally the best is last, but The
teachers don't consider the examina-
ton at the close OF the normal the
best thing on earth,
This,the last week of normal has
been crowded full of lectures and en-
tertainments, but there seems TO be-
no abatement Of interest.
Miss Parshall OF Oberlin, visited
the normal and attended the chill
dren's concert last Monday. She was
the guest Of Prof. Riste while here.
A number OF our teachers have
availed themselves of the practical
drawing lessons which have been me-
thodically presented by Miss Hughes.
The children's concert given by
Prof. Fields was a decided success
The children performed we'll and fire.
quently called forth applause from
the audience.
The history class has been COM
pairing the platforms of the different
political parties The majority Of us
are republicans, democrats or ponu-
lists, because Dad IS. History repeats
itself.
The lecture last night by Prof. De-
Long was one OF the most practical
talks that teachers ever have the
pleasure Of listening to. Evidently
Prof. DeLong is a teacher among
teachers,
The interest manifested and the
large attendance in the present insti-
tute are largely traceable to the UNI
turing efforts OF Superintendent Smith
and Prof. W. G. Riste during the
past three years,
The class in constitution has been
considerably exercised over the duties
OF the county superintendent. Incl.
dentally discussion was developed be-
tween two prominent teachers as to
what constitutes school marm."
The regular teachers examination
at the close Of normal will be held
Friday and Saturday, June 30 and
July /, in the public school building.
Exercises will begin at 8 o'clock.

THE RAIN MAKERS.

The Rock Island Rain Makers made
two experiments at this place this
week. They occupy common box
car, that is divided into two compart-
ments, one for labor, the other for
sleeping, From the car run two wires
that are connected with the telegraph
system Of the company, and when the
apparatus is in operation the full
force Of all batteries between Colora-
do Springs and the Missouri River is
turned on. This electric force is adj
ded to by a powerful battery carried
on the car. just how TIE machine
works, no one outside Of the operators
knows. Work was commenced at
the depot Tuesday afternoon at 8
o'clock. At that time the sky was al
most clear. -Four generators were
used, each making 1000 gallons Of
gas per hour. This gas, highly
charged with electricity, is projected
into the air through two 2.inch pipes,
and assembled into space, meets in the
air other rain producing gasses, thus
forming clouds and rain. At times
|
this section lacks certain properties
necessary for rainfall. These the ram
maker seeks to supply. AS to re-
suits. At nine o'clock, Tuesday even
ling, this section was visited by nice
shower of rain, and the ram maker
turned off his machine. In the morn
ing he commenced again. Last nigh
a deluge accompanied by u high vino
came down from the northwest. Ii
an hours time almost two inches o
rain fell. Just how far this storm ex
tended is not at present known, TIL,
ram maker, Mr.. JeWell, ana his as
sistant, Mr.. Hutchinson, claim credi
for it. The Rock Island road pay
all expenses, some $500 90 per week
and must have faith in the work o
the experiments would be stopped
The operators say that their system
has not as yet been fully developed
but that they are perfecting thei
process with each trial. So far thi
year, at every point whore they hav
been at work, rain has fallen, fron
within six hours to five days,
This rain making business is elthe
one Of the biggest fakes ever know
or the grandest work ever attempte
by man.

SOME QUESTIONS.

Is it not r"nia1 Ia BILE that Republican
newspapers and politicians are now
manifesting SO much interest in the
SUPPRESSION of combines and trusts,
when 4 few months ago they had no in
terc>t in those things at ALL
Is it not surprising. too, that Demo
cratic newspapers and politicians now
have very little to say in reference to
combines and trusts. when few
months ago they We're sure they were
the worst of evils and ) .ould be vigor-
ously deal with.
Is it not strange that SO many peo-
pie can be deceived year after year by
the parties that make so many false
PROMISES
Is it not about time for the grea.
common people to hold political par
ties to a strict account .made for the
pledges in tn cir platforms. or qui,
voting with the parties that forget
their promises after election?
Is it true that Acknowledgement
Olney is SO mixed up with trusts. com
bines and corporations as to make it
impossible for hic- to prosecute them
without interfering with his personal
interests?

TIE KETTLE CALLS The POT BLACK.

Al It's meeting recently held IN
Louisville, Nv., the Republican League
passed The following resolution:
Whereas the Democratic parry 20:
the first time II thirty-iWo years has
succeeded IL power IN both the f.Necu-
tive ana Legislative departments Of
the government u-c Cow direct at'ea-
ton ;o he fact that Il should either
give the people Il fair trial OF the
policy advocated in lis national plat
foria or admit that il gained >u-
premacE by gross risreD-. sentation
and !lyro ,risr.
II view Of the fact that neither cd
party. when it ha d the chance has
tried just little bit, n the past thirty
years. TO redeem lis pledges. the above
may be looked upon as either 4 huge
Joke Or the perfection of irony. The
idea Of either old party carryin out
its pledges to the people is too funny
for anything. There was Il time when
platforms were constructed for the
purpose of rejecting the principles Of
the party adopting them Sat SO far
as the two old fossil organizations are
concerned that time is passed. For
years they have constructed their
platform to catch votes. The question
Of redeemlrs the pledges made therein
never seemed to enter the minds Of the
political bosses who constructed them.
Heretofore the failure to redeem
pledges has been explained away by
referring TO divided Congress, the
Senate Republican and the House
Democratic. While this was no eX-
cuse, for both parties could have CO.
operated to have redeemed the same
pledges, it was used and had its effect
with Il large num- Der of persons who
were made to believe that it was the
other party's fault. Thus while APP
reaing to prejudice and hate, the
base>t elements Of human nature. the
old parties have To an extent not only
escaped from the responsibility in
volved in their pledges but for many
actual crimes which they have com
mitte1. There is no doubt but that
the division in Congress- this Republic
can Senate and Democratic House
business, has been engineered at the
instiyation and with the help of the
money power, for the sole purpose for
which it has !een used-to defra nd
and Cypress the people. But an uncx-
pected has turned the
tables One o. ne old frauds has Il
''chance" and will be held strictly ac-
countable, not only for what it does
but for what it don't do. The other
! old fraud, seeing the predica ment into
! which its twin brother in crime is
! placed, in a frantic effort to clear it's
own skirts of responsibility, migrate
| fully demands that its pledges be re-
deemed. If this isn't plain case of
/ dog ca. dog then we don't know
where we are at.

WILL CLEVELAND DARE ISSUE BONDS?

The now all-enErosSing question be-
fore the country Is, "Will Cleveland
dare to issue bonds in answer to the
demands of the gold-bugs?"
While it is possible it is hardly prob
able that he will permit it. Mr. Clcve-
land has heard and is still hearing
from the country. While he would be
perfectly willing to favor the money
interests in a concession of that kind,
he will not dare to do SO in the face
of the people aroused as they are to-
day.
Mr.. Cleveland does not care to have
his name go ringing down the ages as
the man who wrecked his party. when
a succession of years of supremacy
was possible, by having yielded to the
infamous demands of the gold bug
pirates.
Being more than quarter of CEN
fury removed from the late war, with
plenty OF time to have fully recovered
from its devastating and blighting
effects, with our boundless resources
and ''wonderful prosperity" the mere
suggestion of an issue of bonds ought
to he sufficient to down any party that
seriously considers such proposition.
However favorab Mr.. Cleveland
have been impressed with the necessity
of issuing bonds on his accession to
power, he certainly has had sufficient
| warning by this time to satisfy him
that the people will not tolerate such
q move

NOTES FROM THE FIELD.

-..e fact is gradually dawning upon
the mind Of the average Democrat tl;' t
it was the nomination and not the
platform of the Chicago convention
that Mr.. Cleveland accepted. This is
made manifest in the fact that he not
only opposes bimetaliSm, but is in no
! hurry to reform the tariff.
We are rapidly developing d race of
snohS in this country that viii soon
laureIs.

sion when ne declared before the
