A Very smooth Gentlemap.

Monday evening when the shades of
night were falling fast a gentleman,
known as Electric Bill, gathered a
big crowd around his buggy and pro-
ceeded tale to unfold in reference to
the necessity of everybody wearing
electric belts. Perhaps it had not oc-
Cured to the people that they needed
them but half hours talk convinced a
great many, probably $50, that electric
belts were absolutely needed in their
business. The smooth gentleman did
not say in so many words that he in
tended to give away money to belt pur-
chasers but in the talk he let that in
ference 60 out and the rush that was
made for belts was caution. Some
people bought one, some two, and some
four. After the gentleman had done a
good business he put all the money in
his pocket and returned to the hotel.
1t was noticed that when everybody
got down town this morning that there
was superluity of electricity in the
air, in fact enough for a storage bat
terry. Electric Bill is smooth talker
and worked his crowd in professional
manner. The faker went to Scotland

Foreign Scholars.

has not been able to enforce the rule in
reference to foreign scholars, although
it should be done this year. Last wear

some yielding in financial matters by
almost everyone. 1t was suggested
that more definite rules were needed as
to what constituted a foreign scholar.
The cases making the most trouble are
where families move into town and oc-
cupy their own or rented houses during
the whole or part of the school year
for school advantages, and also where

OF the new high school building. This
is shown, in part, by the increased per
cent OF attendance and punctuality over
that of last year, and in part by the
general enthusiasm of teachers and

splendid condition in which they now
are you have good reason to expect q
further increase in effective work in

The Railroad Meeting

A meeting was held in the CONNER

termine what action should be taken
by Dawson county in reference to the
Omaha eXtention southwest to Wheel

securing the right of way and donation

which they need. More of the common
branches could be reviewed thus fitting
the graduates for teaching. To the
great majority graduation means the
completion of school work and the as
sumption that they are fully equipped
for active life. 1t is undoubtedly wise
to encourage graduation, but it should
not be deceptive or misleading. The
tact Is that some of the graduates have
found it difficult to obtain licenses of
the lowest grade to teach in the country
schools and have thus brought discredit
upon the city schools. This is because
they had no adequate review of the
common branches. which is impossible
to give in three years course.

not done so. Alderman Levinger ask
ed that the mayor present his appoint
ment but he fatty refused to do so. He
did not think it now proper time to
bring it up and while he considered it
ought to have been done long before
yet he would take no action in the
matter when the opportunity pre-
sented itself. Aldermen Levinger and
King discussed the matter from a bust
ness standpoint in that every town
around Mitchell had saloon and as
result much trade that rightfully be-
longed to Mitchell was taken away.
Failing to get the mayor TO present his
appointment Alderman Levinger then
introduced the following resolution:
"That the auditor be instructed to mott
fly the chief Of police that his term of
Office terminated at this date and that
his salary would stop from this time"
Mayor Seaman promptly declared the
resolution out of order and refused to
put it before the council, presumably
on the grounds that he didn't propose
to have the marshalship disturbed at
the present time. Mr.. Levinger ap-
pealed from the decision of the chair,
but that didn't cut any figure as the
mayor stood by his former ruling. Mr..
Levinger then asked that the resclu-
tion appear on the record and to which
the mayor gave his assent.
This was about all that could be done
in the matter and the council adjourned

This grade is regarded as the most
important owing to the fact that the
common branches are here reviewed

because the pupils advancement in the

registered during the year in this de.
partment.
