100 applications have been made for the
services of the students by dairymen,
stock breeders and general farmers Sew
entY five have secured positions and ap-
plications are being received daily for the
unemployed. The next term of the short

Company was here on Tuesday and
had a session with the local grain
buyers. The result of the meeting
was very satisfactory and puts Mani

longer any fear that farm produce
will not sell here for every cent it is
worth, leaving only margin of profit
to dealers for handling.

WI. BRYAN showed his shallowness
IN his reply to Perry Belmont. president
OF the Democratic club OF New York.
who sent tue silver advocate an invita-
ton to be present at banquet for April
Is IN honor of fhomss Jefferson. Bryan
wanted the bill of fare and asked before
accepting whether Belmont had announc.
ed his conversion to the Chicago platform
Belmont with fine sarcasm replied that
the invitation was extended without re-
gard to individual opinions. The mistake
was IN extending an invitation to Bryan.
He is so wholly possessed by egotism that
he cannot be courteous when his vanity
is not hsttered. He is today the greatest
living example of emptiness.

which is mauly and liberal. There are a

to give them an opportunity to make a

IKE STEPHENSON isn't agoin' to file no

says, and he won't do it anyway. Ike is
right, II he did file statement it would
not be correct 10 all probability, at least
no one would believe 1t correct. It isn't
just right for Ike to disobey the Law but
then he can afford to pay the tine. 1t Is

THERE is one good resulting from Sn-
perlntendent Harvey's bill. It is calling
the attention of the people to the conn
try schools. Dir. Harvey accepted the
position OF perlntendeut because of his
belief that he could dc something for
rural schools. The university and the
normal schools absorbed all the atteotion
Of the legislators on educational matters.
The country schools were wholly ignored
or if they received any attention at the
hands of the Legislature 1t was with ref
erence to their relation TO the higher in
stltutions OF learning. The writer while
at Madison last week took occasion to
say to several members OF the legislature
that any bill designed to aid the country
schools would receive no candid consider
alton from them as the University lobby
monopolized whatever educational senti-
ment there was 10 the legislature and
any movement IN behalf of the common
schools would be given the character OF
interference with individual rights and
thus Justify uufaYorable action. But be
was assured that is not the case at pres
ent. That there is a disposition to act
favorably toward the country schools end
that any proposed legislation which
promises improvement will receive cor
dial support. There is a great deal il
Mr.. Harvey's bill which should become
law, even If little extra expense is en-
taned. The country schools should moi
be the victims Of economy at all times
If economy Is the rule there are Other
places where it might be instituted witt
more reason.
