To the Voters of Audubon County.

In my dealings with the teachers and
schools of Audubon county 1 have
always acted in good faith and as I be-
lieved III the interests of the schools. 1
would be more than surprised if had
not made mistakes, but have tried TO
make as few as possible.
AS to the lady with the state certifi-
Gates, / only desire TO say that her manu-
it for inspection. know that no honest
man or woman can see the work and
condemn my act.
The question may be raised as to how
she obtained the state certificates. L
wrote to State Superintendent Jackson,
of Nebraska, and he answered: She
obtained it from the Normal School, fur
ther than that [ have no recor and can
give no information"
I wrote State Superintendent Sabin
and received the following:

Nh Dear Sir: =
In answer to yours of Sept. 30, Miss
--came to the board OF examiners
as an accredited graduate OF the Ne
braska state normal school. copy from
the records: Miss on account
of diploma from Nebraska state normal
given limited examination taking his
tory, didactics, grammar, civics and
arithmetic
She also submitted her teachers life
diploma granting her authority to teach
anywhere in Nebraska. AS matter OF
reciprocity or courtesy to the educational
authorities of Il neighbsring state the
board made the usual exemption in kind
as made in like cases, Instead OF exact
ing the full examination.
See section 2630, code 1897, in the
Office of the county attorney, for the
spirit which actuated the board.
Yours very cordially,
HENRY SABIN,
Pres Board of Examiners.
The State Board requires an average
of IS per cent, while for first grade
county certificate an average OF 90 per
cent is required. For a state certificate
an applicant is supposed to pass in fif-
teen branches. The lady wrote on five,
and as I happen to know, failed in two
of them. In other words, failed to make
within 20 per cent of the grade required
for a first grade county certificate.
We have the evidence for the above
and cheerfully invite full investigation.
Respectfully,
u. p. REPAss.

Balloons in South Africa.

While poison is most effectively used
on South African farms against bur-
rowing creatures of the jackal kind,
balloons are best dealt with in open
warfare with the rifle, and large ba-
boon hunting parties are often formed
among neighboring farmers. A short
description of one of these baboon
hunts may be of interest to readers in
the mother country, and will give them
an idea Of the outdoor experiences of
their colonial cousins in farming dis
tricts between Cape Town and the Vaal
River. The special character of baboon
hunting is derived from the fact that
balloons are generally found in large
troops, numbering up to eighty or q
hundred or more. In some of the kar-
roo farms of the Sneeuwberg and Com
pas Berg ranges in the Midland dis
tricts of the colony, for instance. the
rocky krantzes and kopjes covered with
bush and boulder are Otter infested by
such troops. So long as they are left
undisturbed in their strongholds, so
long must the farmer be content to see
the tale Of his losses in stock grow big
ger every day. Single-handed not
much can be done, for baboons are diff
ficult to approach, and if surprised at
close quarters they have a good idea
of defending themselves with large
stones. It is one Of the farmers most
tantalizing experiences to stand at the
door of his homestead, gun in hand.
and see the baboon just out of range
on the rocky sky line a few hundred
yards away-now springing on all fours
like a large dog, now squatting on their
no Ito
know that the cunning beasts are Just
watching till his back is turned that
they may seize their opportunity to
swoop down and raid his focks. Their
predatory methods, too, are revoltingly
cruel, and "baboon- handled" stock can
always be recognized at a glance. They
will attack cattle, tearing the udders
away with their long, powerful hands.
and sheep and goats are often found by
the herdsmen with their hinduuarters
stripped of the flesh right to the bone,
and left to die of slow torture
Moreover, the baboon is no respecter
of persons, and the costly imported
long WOOL of the priceless Angora
fall victim, no less than the common
Cape 'hamel' or "capater," which
would only fetch half a sovereign or
so at the market in Cradock or Graaff-
Reinet
These facts are mentioned to show
that the farmer has little cause to love
balloons, and that it is to the interest
of those who suffer from the raids of
these merciless freebooters to combine
in force, so as to kill off as many Of
the common enemy at each coup de
main as possible-Chambers Journal.

1t has been objected that the recog-
milton of the belligerency of the insur-
gent Cubans by the United States
would forfeit all claims we may have
against Spain for damages suffered by
Americans in Cuba. We cannot under
stand that the recognition would affect
claims for damages inflicted upon
American property prior to the date Of
recognition. But as Senator Foraker
well put it: While these claims aggre-
gate more than a million dollars, they
really cut no figure in the case, because
if defeated the Cubans cannot pay, and
if Spain wins or loses she is in either
case unable to pay. That is a cool way
of looking at it, to be sure. But the
question of a million or of two millions
or more of dollars should not enter in
to any consideration of the question
when viewed from the humane stand
point. The one and only thing for the
United States to consider is this: Is
there a state of war in Cuba, and is 1t
of a character and representation OF
such force and organization on both
sides. as under the laws of humanity
and the usages of civilization justify
recognition of the belligerency of the
combatants. All else is outside OF and
foreign to the matter.

OPEN-AIR CONCERTS.
More Funds Required to Insure Mid
week Programmes.

The Open-air Committee desires 1t
stated that it seems to be the general
desire to have mid-week concerts at
CAPITOL Park in addition to those which
have been arranged for on Sunday
evenings at the Plaza. In order to ac-
complish this much desired result more
funds are required.
AS it will be impossible for the COM
mittee to visit every one interested,
they announce that subscriptions Will
be received at the following places
Emil Steinmann, 612 ] street; Henry f.
Brown. at John Breuner's, and Frank
Lafferty. 1101 street. Consent to
Capitol Park concerts has been obtain
ed from the proper authorities.
Arrangements have been completed
for the building of the band stand, but
as it requires about $50 for each con-
cert the need for additional funds is
apparent. as the money so far collected
is sufficient only for the Plaza con-
certs.
The next concert will be given on
Sunday evening at the Plaza.

Protect the system From Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in regions
of country where nliasma is most rife
and where the periodic fevers which it
causes assume their most formidable
types. The immense popularity of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is very largely
attributable 10 the fact of its efficacy as a
remedy for chils and fever, bilious remit
tents, and as a preventive of the various
forms of malariaI disease. In those por-
tions of the West and South where COM
plants of this nature prevail and in the
tropics, 1t is particularly esteemed for the
protective influence which it exerts: and 1t
has been very widely adopted as substi-
tute for the dangerous and comparatively
inefficient alkaloid suiphate of quinine.
Physicians have not been among the last
to concede it's merits, and the emphatic
professional Endorsements which it has re-
ceiyed have added to the. reputation II has
obtained at home and abroad.

The Morgan Cuban resolution
passed the Senate yesterday by
large vote, and will now go to the
House. The expression was made upon
the floor Of the Senate that the passage
would involve the United States in
war. This was the voice OF disap-
pointment, we think. and not of best
judgment. There will be no war be-
cause of the action of the Senate for
the very good reason that the passage
is not in itself an act for which dec
laration of war can be justfiably made
Second, Spain is not disposed TO en-
gage in a conflict with us for the best
of reasons-she has neither money nor
credit for the occasion, and war with
the United States would mean instant
loss of Cuba. If we have humliated
Spain by the passage OF the Morgan
resolution, we incline to the belief that
she will pocket the affront and not
strike back.

Gertrude Atherton, who wrote book
that is regarded with disfavor by clean
minded people, and considered racy Dy
those who have taste for the broad,
has received the kind of advertising
such authors want, by the publicity
given by the San Francisco press to
the fact that a library association OF
that city has refused the volume
place on its shelves. The evil is done
now, but those who claim to be moral
agencies and exponents of public opln-
ion should reflect that simply because
thing is new it is not necessarily
news; that because an association or
person does something it does not fol-
low that it must be heralded to the
world. There is line to be drawn be-
tween what is news and what is new.
